How to upload for multiple platforms?

A topic by Isaac Estudillo created Feb 07, 2022 Views: 1,582 Replies: 1

I have three builds for my game: Windows, Mac, and Linux. Each has their own zip file. I can't upload each zip separately because whenever I press the upload button and choose a file, it replaces the previously selected file. Butler won't work, and I'd rather not make the user download all of them together.

What I'm trying to accomplish is to have separate download buttons for each version of the game. What do I do?

You have multiple options:

  • When uploading individual files, make sure they have different names, so they won’t overwrite each other. A common notation is to add the platform in the name (ex. “my_game-windows.zip” and “my_game-linux.zip” etc).
  • When using butler, make sure to use a different channel name for each platform you upload. One solution is to name each channel based on their platforms.

Hope that helps. I’ve used both methods on my own projects, so if you get stuck somewhere I should be able to help further.

Cheers!
