Remember to copy GameLauncherCore.dll to the same path as the Patch Manager, otherwise it won't start.

This new manager allows you to create patches without Unity

New patch functions

Patch Type

Create patches/updates by type

  • Patch: 1.0.x (Example: 1.0.0 to 1.0.1)

  • Minor: 1.x.0 (Example: 1.0.0 to 1.1.0)

  • Major: x.0.0 (Example: 1.0.0 to 2.0.0)

This allows you to create a new type of updates.

Binary Diff Quality

Select the quality of the binary diff comparison between patches/files.

Selecting a Lower Level of Binary Diff Quality will cause this:

  • The patch will be created faster (Good for bigger projects)

  • The final patch file-size will be larger

Ignore Paths

Exclude files or folders from being considered for the Binary Diff Comparison in the patch.

Select which patch do you require

Now you can select which type of patch do you want to create.

Maybe you don't want to create an installer patch of your 50 GB game on every patch right? This will take a great amount of time. So let only one version of the installer patch for your users like the 1.0.0 and let the launcher update it to the last version.

Create an installer patch only on Minor or Major updates

You can select if you want to create:

  • RepairPatch (This patch is applied when some file is corrupted or missing)

  • IncrementalPatch (This patch is applied when the user has the last version and only needs the newer changes)

  • InstallerPatch (This patch is applied when the user doesn't have any file of the app/game)

Create patches for every old version to the new one

This option will create a new patch from every old patch, using this, the user will download only 1 patch instead of download one after other.

We recommend to use this feature when you create a Minor or Major update.

1.0.0 -> 1.1.0

1.0.1 -> 1.1.0

1.0.2 -> 1.1.0

1.0.3 -> 1.1.0
