Under the Hood: Built to Last​

At its core, ABC-Patcher is powered by a shared patch engine that handles:

• Manifest validation
• SHA256 integrity checks
• Intelligent diff detection
• Streaming downloads with progress reporting

This library is reused across the server, launcher, and CLI — ensuring consistency, reducing bugs, and simplifying maintenance.

Security First​

Unlike legacy HTTP patchers, ABC-Patcher was designed with modern threats in mind:

• All traffic over HTTPS
• Built-in certificate generation and validation
• SHA256 hashing on every file
• Channel isolation prevents cross-shard leaks

Get Started in Minutes​

1. Launch the Patch Server​

dotnet run –project ABC-Patcher.Server

2. Build & Distribute the Launcher​

dotnet publish ABC-Patcher.Launcher -c Release –self-contained true -publishSingleFile=true

3. Automate with CLI​

abc manifest ./dist/client –channel client –version 1.0.0 abc sync MyShard.com is for sale | HugeDomains ./ServUO –channel server

“ABC-Patcher turned our weekly patch nightmare into a one-click process. Players love it, and I finally get my weekends back.”
— A grateful shard operator

Why ABC-Patcher Stands Alone​

Traditional methods rely on manual uploads, fragile web hosts, and player discipline. ABC-Patcher replaces all of that with:

• Self-hosted — no third-party dependency
• Instant updates — players are always current
• Professional UX — real-time progress bars
• Open source — audit, fork, improve

New Features Already Included​

ABC-Patcher ships with powerful capabilities that were once considered “future features” — now available today:

• Self-Updating Launcher – The launcher patches itself before updating the client, ensuring zero downtime.
• Pre-Built GitHub Releases – Automated single-file executables via GitHub Actions — just download and run.

These features are live in the current release. No waiting required.
