Instead of updating manually each time a new patch comes out, you can configure your server to <strong>automatically update<\/strong> itself whenever it starts. This ensures your players are always running on the latest version with no extra effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, we\u2019ll show you step by step how to enable the <code>Auto Update<\/code> option directly from your GGServers control panel. Once configured, your Core Keeper server will automatically check for and apply updates on every restart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> You must stop your server before making any changes to its settings.
