Built-in Updating and Patching
GLCV3 offers both a simple built-in updating system and an advanced file patching system.
Gamer edition comes complete with the ability to download an updater file (installer) when there is a trigger that an update is available.
Indie and Developer editions also have this feature, but they also have access to the AOPS2 system which is the advanced patching system. Meaning you can keep your game files up to date by only downloading the files that were changed.
Developer edition comes with many more options, special configurations and the ability to embed the patching system directly into your launcher window.
Versioning
All editions come with a versioning system, allowing you to setup multiple ways of checking for version information.
Versioning Settings

System and Custom Variables
GLCV3 has a very powerful internal variable system which allows you to specify local and remote variables anywhere in your launcher.
Display information such as Local and Remote Version numbers, usernames, system variable information such as paths, directories and much more!
System Variables
Pretty much any values/strings used inside your launcher can be used in a dynamic text string by simply including the variable.
Display Versioning
You can use variables such as version information by simply using %LOCALVERSION% and %REMOTEVERSION% in your text strings.
Instant Parsing
GLCV3’s super-fast runtime means all variables are parsed at the speed of light so no matter where you use them, they’re instantly displayed.
Variable Parsing and Sending
GLCV3 comes with a plethora of standard variables to use in the Developer edition such as system information, including directories and paths and usernames.
You can also specify your own custom variables from dynamic sources such as responses from a PHP query string to use throughout the launcher.
EXAMPLE
You can setup a text string on your custom patch page which displays the real-time patching status. You can write your own text and also include variables whereever you want to include them.
Your setup in the GLCV3 string object would look like this:
Patch Status: %STATUSAOPS% – %AOPSOVERALLPERCENT%
Which in the launcher, would look like this:
Status: Patching Files… – 52%
