Hello, the Build Patch tool is a command line tool.
You need to launch it using a command prompt, please check on internet how to open such prompt.
For the command line instructions, please check the video tutorial above where I explain every argument and how to filled them.

Hello, how do we open the section at minute 02:13 in the video? Also “BuildPatchTool” opens and closes in “Engine\Binaries\Win64” region. How can I install the game? Can you help me?

Kind regards

Hello,

This is just a notepad where I pasted the Command line template I have copied from the Developer Portal (previous step in the video).
The Build Patch Tool is a tool to upload your build to our servers so we can distribute it through the Epic Games Launcher (and Store).
To install the game you will need to redeem a key that will give you access to the game on the Launcher.

Hello!
I fixed some bugs in my game which is already on the epic games store and I would like to update it but I don’t know exactly how to proceed. Specifically, I used project launcher to package. I checked the following settings:

build configuration: Shipping
Cook: Windows
Release/DLC?patching : Compress content, Save packages without versions/Store all content in a single file/Encrypt ini files
Package: Include an installer for prerequisites of packaged games / Make a binary config file for faster runtime startup times
I used the build patch tool for the upload.

Can I update without having to reload the whole game? From what I understand, this can be done with a patch, but I haven’t found anything concrete.

Thank you!
Sincerely,
Arnold Popescu

Hello Arnold,
The Build Patch Tool will automatically check the differences between your previously uploaded build and the new one to upload only the changes.
