[@DriveVibeAuto]

I can’t figure out how to get into the adjustable menu on the Cronus. It says LT+L2+options but all it does for Xbox controller is toggle the game pack on and off on the Cronus screen. I can toggle the mods in the game but I can’t adjust any of them without doing incremental adjustments in zen studios and then deleting/redoing for each adjustment I need to make

[@CronusChronicles]

LT and menu should work

[@sunnymallot]

can do

Do you need the cronus to be plugged to the computer while using it on the xbox?

no

[@synchronize3105]

I updated the firmware and then went to bootloader mode and studio it keeps saying cronus zen not found

[@CronusChronicles]

did you buy it 3rd party? Meaning, did someone own it before you?

[@Akrecoil]

@@CronusChronicles how would we know if we did

[@CronusChronicles]

@@Akrecoil if you bought from amazon or ebay, then its very possible. If this is the cause, you would have to register the device to you specifically....since it was previous owned by someone else

[@Akrecoil]

@ how do you register it to you specially

[@synchronize3105]

Yeah got mine off amazon. Couldn't manage to register it, but I can still use the b06 pro pack with the cronus and likely use other scripts without it being registered. Is it absolutely necessary to register or is it fine without.

when i set it up on xbox im using a turtle beach react controller thats wired it reconises my controller but i cant actually use it to do anything what am i mabey doing wrong?

[@CronusChronicles]

I’m not sure it works with turtle beach. You may need to troubleshoot. Try another controller to make sure you zen is working, and then test the turtle beach controller with different usb cables and ports, both in the zen and the console

[@Silaspsiling]

My zen studio is stuck in version 1,5 and wont update to version 1,6

[@CronusChronicles]

which windows version do you have? You may have to uninstall zen studios and reinstall from scratch

[@cartergraupman9525]

Dear Cronus chronicles, Whenever I click on Cronus web update tool I get sent to a different tab saying to connect something. I really would enjoy some help

[@CronusChronicles]

Try updating your firmware. Or go directly to the collective minds web site for download.

[@CJ-ip6mu]

Might sound stupid but is activating the game pack done by simply selecting the right button on the Cronus ?

[@CronusChronicles]

Game pack should be set up first, and then you scroll to the slot it’s programmed to. You can adjust the zen while in a game with your controller also

[@MrMoneyMItchMonday]

When I’m trying to download zen studio i press finish and nothing happens please help me sir.

What version of windows are you using? And where did you tell it to download to?

[@connorhayes1656]

I’m having the same problem, looked everywhere for the zen studios app but can’t find anywhere, windows 11

[@vM0As]

after it updated the zen studio stopped responding, do i leave both plugged in or do i switch just to the right one? and do i put it back in bootloader mode or just leave it how it is

[@CronusChronicles]

usually just switch to the right sided one after the firmware is updated. if you can leave both in....that works too

[@zeezillitv8083]

Everything is working but when i try to control the zen with my xbox elite series controller nothing is happening

[@CronusChronicles]

Might be a sync issue, meaning you would need to unplug and then replug everything to console in sequence. Or the usb cables aren’t working. Sometimes it’s where you plug it in to. Try changing the usb port

HEY!!!! is there any way to get a tutorial on how to use some of the scripts in game and what proper settings to use like in nba 2k or cod?

[@CronusChronicles]

NBA 2k25 is a tough one to show exact settings because they randomized the shots and added someone with player animations. But our script has a rhythm shot that we have gotten good feedback on. BO6 depends on the weapon type. Assault rifles hover around 45-55 anti recoil while the smgs can go as high as 70. Depends on the persons controller sensitivity

This doesn't work with BO6- it will just say "please reconnect your controller" and won't let you use the cronus.
