I have a question for you. I'm the owner of a server being hosted by a company on a VPS. I downloaded the server files on to my local machine and patched them on my local server, started the server up, and it ran pretty well. So then I transfer all the files back to the server using a FTP client. Will this work? Or do I have to patch the files while on the VPS?
I kept getting an error similar to this (Not the exact error, but really close, I forgot to save it):

During launch of the server on the remote machine, it would get to the tickthreading part and say something like: "Tickthreading is not running, please patch your server by running PATCHME.bat. Which I already did on my local machine, and then uploaded the entire server using my FTP client.
I tried running version 475 + 544, and both had the same issue. Do I have to find a way to patch the server AFTER it is already uploaded to the remote VPS?
