How to Update a Craft to Exile 2 Server | Safer 2026 Guide
Craft to Exile 2 is patched fast and frequently, and several of those patches have fixed real server-only bugs — a whole-server freeze on map exit, a UI overlay crash, windows that didn't work in multiplayer. Reading the changelog before updating tells you what you're actually getting.

1. Back up before updating
Character classes, loot and endgame map progress live in the world save. Take a full backup before any update, regardless of how minor the changelog looks.
2. Read the changelog for server-specific fixes
This pack has shipped patches that fixed bugs affecting multiplayer specifically while singleplayer worked fine — the Map Device and Skill Assignment windows, for example. If you've been living with a workaround, check whether it's already been resolved.
3. Install the matching server pack
- Download the server pack for your exact target version from CurseForge — not the client pack.
- Shut the server down with the stop command before swapping files.
- Keep client and server versions identical — a mismatch causes join failures and crashes that look unrelated to the actual cause.
4. Verify the overlay and a map exit after updating
Open the Exile Overlay (inventory, skill tree, map device) and test exiting a map once the server is back up. Both have had server-specific bugs in this pack's history, and checking them directly confirms the update actually applied cleanly.
FAQ
How often does Craft to Exile 2 update?+
Often — the pack has shipped several patches within days of each other, several of them fixing real server-only bugs (not just singleplayer issues). It's worth checking the changelog regularly rather than only updating when something breaks.
Will updating fix a server freeze when players exit maps?+
If you're on an older version, likely yes — this was a documented bug where exiting a map could stall the whole server waiting on chunk loads, fixed in a later patch.
What should I verify after updating?+
Open the Exile Overlay (inventory, skill tree, map device) and run a test map exit. Both have had server-specific bugs in this pack's history, and they're the fastest way to confirm an update actually applied cleanly.
