Disclaimer

• This script must be run with caution on a host where user programs or scripts are already running, as some system-wide software and settings will be updated.
• Any previous CRCON install (hll_rcon_tool/ folder within the actual folder) will be DELETED.
• Script will attempt to backup any found config files and database folder, but that could fail, mostly if you have changed the default install paths.

Important

Please make sure to backup any data you find valuable before proceeding.
