How to Manage Game Updates: Admin Guide – ENESTECH Software

🖥️ Follow this guide to enable automatic updates for your gaming PCs or trigger them at a time that works best for your venue. Updates run in the background and do not interrupt active user sessions.

If you have already configured Game Update, you can:

Enable auto-updates: Allow the system to keep your library up to date automatically.
Update on demand: Update anytime from the Apps & Games tab, maintaining full control over network load and update timing.

Update modes

Option 1: Automatic updates

Games update automatically as soon as a new patch is released. This process is seamless and does not affect the user experience.

How to set it up:

Go to CAP → Apps & Games → Settings.
Enable the Automatic update option.

There are separate auto-update settings for disk-based and diskless PCs.

Conditions for automated game updates:

Updates start automatically when a new version becomes available.
PC(s) must be online.
The process runs in the background.

📌 We recommend enabling automatic updates only if you have a stable network and fast internet. If your connection is weak, update the system manually at a convenient time, such as during off-peak hours or when the venue is empty.

Option 2: Updates at a convenient time (On-demand)

You can manage updates yourself to avoid peak hours or to prioritize specific games. All updates run in the background without impacting customers' gaming sessions.

How to set it up: Disable the Automatic updates option in Settings.

How it works: When a game patch is released, an Update available button appears on the game’s card within the Venue library tab.

To run an update:

Click Update available on a game card.

All PCs: Click the update button in the pop-up window. The game will update or install on all available stations simultaneously.

Specific PCs: Go to the PCs field in the same window. Click the update button next to specific stations you want to target.
