 Automatic download and setup of a game client to play [RecFlare](https://github.com/djdevin/recflare).
 
-[BepInEx](https://github.com/BepInEx/BepInEx) and the [RecNet Plugin](https://github.com/djdevin/recnet-plugin) are installed as part of the setup.
+The [Rec Room 2025 patch](https://github.com/recflare/patch-2025) is installed as part of the setup and configured to point at the RecFlare servers.
 
 ## Download/update and play
 
 ### Easy way: installer
 
-Download and run `RecFlareSetup.exe` from the [releases page](https://github.com/djdevin/recflare-client/releases). The wizard asks whether you have Rec Room in your Steam library: if you do, it downloads the game client from Steam (DepotDownloader, signing in with your username or a Steam mobile app QR code); if not, it downloads the game files from a mirror instead. It then installs BepInEx and the RecNet plugin, and creates Start menu/desktop shortcuts for desktop and VR mode.

It then installs the 2025 patch, points `2025patch.ini` at RecFlare, and creates Start menu/desktop shortcuts for desktop and VR mode.
 
 If Windows SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC", click **More info** and then **Run anyway** (the installer is unsigned).

 ## Custom server
 
-Fork this project and change `/BepInEx/config/net.rec.plugin.cfg` to your own instance.
+Fork this project and change the `ApiHost` and `PhotonHost` values in `download.bat` (the `powershell` line) and `RecFlareSetup.iss` (the `ApiHost`/`PhotonHost` constants) to your own instance. You can also edit `2025patch.ini` in the game folder directly after installing.
