Hi,
I created a folder containing the base game and other folders with the update delta files, then I imported the versions onto the server.

The problem is that during the update patches, in addition to adding and replacing files, some of the old files are also deleted.
So, doing delta versioning on Drop causes issues because only the new files are added, but the old ones aren’t removed, unlike when applying the .exe patch directly to the game folder.

Is there a way to solve this problem?

Thank you very much.
