So I've made a little C# .net core program (so it should be cross platform) that will check 2 folders against each other, when you open it, it will ask you to input 4 things, the folder which contains the old version, the folder which contains the new version, the folder where you would like to store the update and whether you would prefer a fast or a thorough scan.

It will check each file in the new version and see if it also existed in the old version, if it didn't or it was different (a fast scan will only check the size) then it will copy the file into the update folder that you've specified.

I only ran a test on the newest update of the game Crucial Investigation (v0.82 -> v0.84) which contains 962 files in the v0.84 version, a fast scan in my program was able to check all of them in 0.858s seconds, and a thorough check took 2.62s (which actually took me by surprise but hey its good news).

The source code is uploaded as a .txt because it wouldn't let me upload a .cs file.
