Developer Plan Exclusive

Intelligent Dependency
Management.

A game is more than just an executable. It’s a complex ecosystem of runtimes, registry keys, and configurations.

Ensure 100% compatibility before your game launches (Pre-Requisites) and automate environment setup after the patch completes (Post-Requisites).

The Patching Lifecycle

Build and Configure Pre and Post Requisite scripts to perform checks and actions conditionally.

Update these in real-time via the dashboard, instantly pushing out the update to all clients.

STAGE 4: INITIALIZATION

01. Pre-Requisites

Before a single file is downloaded, LaunchBoost scans the user’s system to ensure compatibility. If a dependency is missing, we handle it automatically.

  • Check for .NET Framework 4.5+ or 6.0+
  • Verify DirectX and VC++ Redistributables
  • Check Registry Keys (e.g. Steam Install Path)
  • Abort launch if critical hardware is missing
STAGE 6: FINALIZATION

02. Post-Requisites

After patching is complete, perform environment setup. This is where you configure the game for the first run or update settings.

  • Write INI / Config files with dynamic values
  • Set Registry Keys for Anti-Cheat detection
  • Download & Run secondary installers (e.g. Mods)
  • Clean up temporary installation files

Technical Capabilities

The LaunchBoost.io Patch System ensures you have full and complete control over important aspects of your game patching locally.

From reading/writing registry entries to writing data to a text file. We ensure you have full capabilities.

If a particular feature is not available out-of-the-box, you can simply include your own batch file or powershell scripts to execute.

Registry Manipulation

Check for the existence of keys to detect installed software (like Steam or Epic Launcher), or write new keys to store installation paths and version data.

INI & Config Injection

Update your game’s config.ini after a patch. Inject the new version number, reset graphics settings, or update server IP addresses dynamically.

Download & Run

Need to install a massive dependency or a mod pack? The patcher can download an external executable to a temporary folder and run it silently with arguments.

Action: DownloadAndRun
💉

Context Injection

Pass data found in one stage to another. For example, find the Steam Install Path in the Registry, then pass that path to your game’s command line arguments.

Open URL / Announcements

Force open a webpage for patch notes, or display a native Windows Message Box to alert the user of critical changes or maintenance.

Runtime Logic

Built-in logic to detect specific .NET Framework versions (4.5 through 8.0) and Visual C++ Redistributables without writing complex scripts.
