Differential updates
Understand how differential updates reduce deployment time by only updating changed files.

Multiplay Hosting automatically uses differential updates to distribute your build updates efficiently. A differential update (also known as a partial or delta update) is an update that has only the differences between the earlier build version and the new build version. Differential updates are helpful when you want to update a build as fast as possible. Because they contain less data than full updates, Multiplay Hosting can distribute the differential build across your fleet faster than a full update.
Tip
It's best practice to use the same build machine to create new build versions to reduce the possible changes between builds. You might consider using a build server, such as Build Automation.
