App management is a menu for version control of App update files.

Download Settings

When an update file is uploaded to CDN using an exclusive tool, it is automatically registered in the uploaded file list. Install or update to the previous version, change the version status from standby to review, and then update the game.

  • Check for Crossplay Launcher errors during game update.
  • Check whether the game works normally when starting the game.
  • Compare the game pool client updated with the local Crossplay Launcher or winmerge tool (or any other tool) and the original full client (the one you have in your game studio).
  • When installing a game, the most recent released version among the files being distributed is installed first, and then the version update proceeds in order.

  • Preparing to distribute: The distribution date is not set.
  • Pending for Distribution: The distribution date has been set, but the distribution date has not yet been set.
  • Distributing: The distribution start date has passed. If it is changed to distribution, you can no longer set review, change the distribution date, or delete it.
  • Distribution date undecided: It is a state that the distribution has not yet been decided.
  • Under Review: This is when the review setting is ON regardless of the distribution status. If it’s set to “Under Review”, you can check it in advance from the test IP before the release date.
  • Review settings are only exposed in the Preparing to distribute and Pending for Distribution status. If you change the review setting to OFF after the distribution date, distribution will start immediately.

Installation Option

  • Install App
    • This function sets the path to install the app.
    • Folder Name
      • Install the app by creating the folder name you entered under the Hive subfolder.
        • E.g.) If the entered folder name is aaa
          • C:\Program Files\Hive\aaa
      • If you do not enter a folder name, the folder will be created using the game index number.
      • The folder name can be modified and is only applied when installing the app. The folder name already installed on the user’s PC will not be changed.
    • Installation Path
      • Install the app by creating the path you entered without the Hive folder.
        • E.g.) If the entered installation path is aaa\bbb
          • C:\Program Files\aaa\bbb
      • The installation path can be modified and it only applies when installing the app. The path already installed on the user’s PC will not be changed.
    • When Apply All is checked, the folder name or installation path is set on a project basis. If Apply All is unchecked, it can be set on an AppID basis. Please see below for examples of actions for each situation.
      • When AppID A and B are run with the same installation path/folder name with different folder names
        • After installing in the order of A → B, run A again to proceed as a new installation.
      • When AppID A and B are deleted with the same installation path/folder name with different folder names
        • Both files A and B are deleted, and an error pop-up appears when deleting another file after deletion
      • When AppID A and B are installed with the same installation path/folder name with different folder names
        • After installing in the order of A → B, file V will overwrite file A when installed
  • Shortcut Action
    • For PC Windows OS, you can set the path you want to take when installing a shortcut.
    • Enter the full URL including http or https when moving to the web.
  • Run Multiple Launchers
    • When set to “On,” an additional game client will be launched if you add a new crossplay launcher while the game is running. There is no limit to the number of game clients to run in the crossplay launcher, but there might be restrictions on game security tools, etc.
