I have seem to try a number of different methods to update a titlepack and unsure what Iam missing for the titlepack to autoupdate when a player clicks on the titlepack to join server.

I have tried and not sure if all is necessary but still don't see no autoupdate.

* rebuilding the titlepack in my game
* then removing station, and reloading from disk ingame, then updating on the cloud when reinitializing the titlepack.
* uploading to the url host the new titlepack listed on the playerpage
* submitting a new update via the playerpage title page, not including a new url, just same link, so just resubmitting the same information.
* uploading the titlepack to the packs folder in the actual game server.
* restarting the game..

So far nothing works simply.. just through trail and error, I can get it work, but not sure what are the sure
what I'm missing or whats the best steps to even ensure that the autoupdate works too.

Thanks for the help.

You have to set in the titlepack xml in the titlepack folder the link to the value <download_link>
So maybe "florenzius.net/my.title.pack.gbx" as link.

You have to upload the pack again and overwrite the old .gbx and you'll receive an update ingame.

Don't use the standard dropbox-link if you are using it: for example dropbox.com/<any number>/my.title.pack.gbx?dl=1

Use: dropboxusercontent.com/<any number>/my.title.pack.gbx (without ?dl=1)
it's a direct link then. But i don't recommend dropbox, it will lock your link at 20gb traffic caused by downloaders and 200.000 visits..

20gb traffic per day are consumed fast!

Note that Autoupdate works different on PC's of normal players and the computer of the title author.
So ask someone else to test Autoupdate of your title pack.

I described some details how Autoupdate works here (in German).

Thanks! I did have to set a new proper link in the <downloadlink> and I do use alternative host for the pack.
