Search help

  • Simple searches use one or more words. Separate the words with spaces (cat dog) to search cat,dog or both. Separate the words with plus signs (cat +dog) to search for items that may contain cat but must contain dog.
  • You can further refine your search on the search results page, where you can search by keywords, author, topic. These can be combined with each other. Examples
    • cat dog --matches anything with cat,dog or both
    • cat +dog --searches for cat +dog where dog is a mandatory term
    • cat -dog -- searches for cat excluding any result containing dog
    • [cats] —will restrict your search to results with topic named "cats"
    • [cats] [dogs] —will restrict your search to results with both topics, "cats", and "dogs"

If you're putting your game on Steam, they use a system based on Perforce's Source Control solution. So the user only downloads what's new or different from what they have.

So if it's a 99999999 TB game, and you only changed a sound file for a patch. The user will might only have to download the 2mb of the audio file + whatever was changed in code. So the patch might be a 5mb patch.

On Mobile you DO have to download the whole thing, unless you implement your own custom solution.

Not sure how it works on Consoles to be honest. Would be insane to have to download the whole thing though, I hope they use a similar source-control type solution.

thanks for your respond . i am going to put the game on steam but the primary way for people to download my game is through my website (because of some limitation that steam has in my country , not every one has the steam or has access to steam ) so then what would be your solution ? every time that i update the game i have to upload it to my website

In that case you would need a low-level engineer-type solution. You need to create a client that updates the game before opening it. Steam does it for you. UE4 doesn't have it out of the box.

I'm sure there's more than one way of doing it. But it's not an easy task, only a real profesional back-end programmer could pull it off.
