CHROMA is a platform we developed to manage our users and data. Each Microdose VR account gives them access to our desktop app, CHROMA Hub. From here you can install, update & launch Microdose VR.
¶ 💾 Installing the Hub
Download & run the CHROMA Hub installer.
Running this file will automatically install & launch the Hub.
Login with Steam, Google, or your CHROMA Account to procede.

¶ 📁 Installing Microdose Builds
If you purchased Microdose VR Beta from Steam (or CHROMA soon), you will be able to install the Beta build. If you joined our Alpha Program (using a Seedcode), you will be able to install the Alpha build.
Depending on what build you have selected (and available) click the Install button.
You can change the installation path by clicking the gear icon near the CHROMA logo.
You currently need to select a directory that is not protected by Windows
c:/ProgramFilesfor example, won't work
The download may take a while depending on your network speeds. After the download progress bar is complete, the software will take a few moments to install. If the button says Installing, it has not finished.
¶ 🕹️ Launching Microdose VR
After you have a build installed, you can run Microdose VR by clicking the green Launch button.
Remember to have your VR HMD installed & callibrated before launching, or you could end up seeing the blue rings of death.
¶ 💉 Updating
If your build is out of date, the Launch button will change to an Update Button. Clicking Update will get the latest build and install it.
NOTE: If your build is out of date, you will not be able to run Microdose VR.
¶ 🧭 Troubleshooting
Before asking for help in the #Support channel on the Microdose Discord, see if the following info can help solve your problems.
¶ General Installation/Launching Issues
If you are running into problems with your build launching, or installation/update not completing, try to remove and reinstall your build first. Sometimes if your installation is interrupted, the HUB will get caught in a weird state, keeping you from playing Microdose.
To remove a build, simply click the Uninstall Button in the links at the bottom of the Hub. This process will only take a moment, but after it is complete, you will have a fresh HUB to try and install a build again.
