A Question on the new Content Patching Feature.
So I went through the release notes of 4.8 and I saw Content Patching!! I got SO excited!!
I went to the Project Launcher and created a custom profile , checked the “Create a release version of this game for distribution” , and checked “Generate patch”.
I then launched my profile and I get an error about “something”.xml is missing?
Cooking from my default profile works just fine.
If someone could make a short video of how to release patches/dlc’s , I think a LOT of people would find it very helpful.
Thanks for any help that you guys can possibly give.
Regards
-Brandon
EDIT
Sometimes when I cook normally I get this error, if anyone can help me out?
