Upload from the Dashboard

Upload a build up to 5 GB straight from your browser

The fastest way to publish an update: drag your ZIP into the dashboard, wait for processing, set it as active.

Maximum file size: 5 GB. For bigger builds use the CLI Tool.

---

Before You Start

Your build must be a .zip file with all game files in the root of the ZIP (not inside a single folder). See Prepare Your Build if you are not sure.

---

Step 1: Open the App Builds Tab

1

Access the dashboard

Log in to your Game Launcher Cloud account.

2

Select your app

In the sidebar, click on your app.

3

Open the App Builds tab

Click the App Builds tab in your application page.

---

Step 2: Upload Your ZIP

1. Drag and drop or browse: select your .zip file
2. Add build notes (optional): describe changes, bug fixes, new features
3. Click "Upload Your Build": the upload starts immediately
4. Keep the tab open until the upload finishes

---

Step 3: Wait for Processing

After the upload, the build goes through the queue. You can follow it in the Jobs Monitor.

Jobs Monitor - Processing App Build

1. ⬆️ Uploading: file upload to cloud storage
2. ⬇️ Downloading: server retrieves the file
3. 📦 Unzipping: extracting build contents
4. 🔧 Creating Patch: generating delta patches
5. ✅ Completed: build is ready for distribution

Processing time (depends on build size and file count)

• Small builds (under 1 GB with about 500 files): 5 to 30 seconds
• Medium builds (1 to 5 GB with about 1,000 files): 3 to 5 minutes

---

Step 4: Set the Build as Active

A processed build is not live yet. Activate it so players can download it:

1

Find your build

In the App Builds tab, your new build appears in the list with status Completed.

2

Open Change Active Build

Switch to the Environments tab and click "Change Active Build".

3

Confirm

Select the build and click Set Build.

Change active build dialog

That is it. Open your launcher and click refresh to fetch the new update.

Active build: only ONE build per platform and environment can be active at a time. Setting a new one replaces the previous one.

Players update automatically: once a build is active, players receive it the next time they open the launcher.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Cause	Solution
Stuck at "Enqueued"	Build waiting in the processing queue	It should start after a few minutes. If it stays stuck, contact support with the Build ID.
Stuck at "Processing"	Large file being processed	Wait and check the status regularly. Large builds take longer.
Build shows "Failed"	Corrupt ZIP or invalid structure	Re-compress the file and make sure no file inside is corrupted.
Upload very slow	Network connection	Check your internet speed, or use the CLI for better upload performance.
Can't find the build after upload	Wrong environment selected	Check the other environments (Staging, Production, custom).
File is over 5 GB	Dashboard limit	Use the CLI Tool.
