Updating the executable while it changes some files, still keeps it at the previous version. Meaning if you want to update the program. You would have to update the entire program manually.
I have 2 suggestions to fix the issue at hand:

  1. Have a patch release that only includes the changed files. Not like xdelta of course but simply only files that you have changed between versions. This doesn't have to replace the main download but is simply for those that don't want to redownload the entire thing and want to update it faster.
  2. Fix the auto updater. Probably the best way to go about it is to make it so that it auto extracts all the necessary files needed to fully update the program. Which goes back to suggestion 1# here. Maybe even do a auto repo pull through git and compile with the dependencies required to make it. Sort of like a Canary branch where it will always be the latest commit every day but incredibly unstable.

Fixed the issue with the auto updater. I may look into patch releases later down the line
