<p>Whenever a new update is released, you're advised to update your server. Usually this involves bug fixes, stability improvements and security improvements, next to the general new features etc. that are introduced.</p>
<p>To receive news about updates when they come out, either follow the discord server's “update” channel, look out for it on the forums, or look at / ask the <a href="https://github.com/BeamMP/BeamMP-Server/releases">GitHub releases page</a>.</p>
<h2>How to Update</h2>
<h3>If you are using a BeamMP partnered hosting provider</h3>
<p>If you are using a BeamMP partnered hosting provider, the instructions below likely won't work. We recommend waiting for more details from your hosting provider, or contacting them for assistance.</p>
<h3>Managing the server yourself</h3>
<p>The server is updated by replacing the old executable with the new one. If you are unsure how to do this, there are step-by-step instructions for Windows and Linux below.</p>
<p>If you built from source, you just rebuild. Make sure to run <code>git submodule update --init --recursive</code> before you rebuild.</p>
<h3>On Windows</h3>
<h4>On Windows</h4>
<ol>
<li>Go to <a href="https://beammp.com/">BeamMP.com</a> and click the “Download Server” button.</li>
<li>Once downloaded, extract the zip file. You should see a few files, one of them the <code>BeamMP-Server.exe</code>. We will call this one the “new executable”.</li>
<li>Go to the folder where your current <code>BeamMP-Server.exe</code> executable is located (same folder where your <code>ServerConfig.toml</code> is, usually). We will call this one the “old executable”.</li>
<li>Replace the old executable with the new executable (for example by copying or moving the new executable into the folder).</li>
</ol>
<h3>On Linux</h3>
