To add to this...there is a newer version of the pup plug-in that was added days ago. the rest of the 290 update remains the same.

So if you have 290.... you will still need to download and update BAM again (and OpenVR) to use my new PinEvent PUPStream 1.4 update....

...which was just released today :)
