Changelog.

🎉 Unreal SDK v7.0.0 and Unreal Server SDK v5.0.0 are released bringing major capability improvements 🎉 Exciting updates! We've released a major capability upgrade to our Unreal SDKs adding Multi user support to the Game SDK and Token exchange & Impersonation support to the server SDK.

Multi User Support

This version of the Game SDK sees a major and central feature update in giving the SDK support for multiple users 🎉👥. This enables a few advanced use cases such as:

• LootLocker supported local multiplayer. Build your couch co-op adventure, your fighting game, or your turn based board game with each player connected to their LootLocker user.
• User Profiles. Support a user selection screen remembering all players that have played on the device and allow for seemless switching between them.
• In depth account linking. When linking account, this will allow you in a client setting to display data from all the accounts involved in the linking. Or even moving data between them. All as you envision it.

Token Exchange and Impersonation

This version of the Server SDK turbo charges your game servers. Together with the multi user support update in the Game SDK this is a major capability boost for the SDKs. Token Exchange lets you exchange an active game session token for a new one (keeping the old one active as well). Impersonation lets you get an active game session token for any player using their ulid. This means that you can now in a server context keep game api sessions for all active players and lets the server access the full power of the game api. Use this to for example:

• Call security. Move code for things like purchasing, progression point submits, invoking triggers, or submitting scores out of the client context and let the server execute that functionality on the players behalf.
• Expanded features. Use methods in a server context that don't yet exist in the server api.
• Responsibility Distribution. Offload code from your clients to a server context.

You can now equip multiple Asset Instances in a single Context. This is great if your game requires players to have for example 2 active abilities at the same time.

While there are API changes associated with this, you can use it without updating the SDK or changing your implementation. The only downside is that you will not be able to programatically see how many instances you can equip in a context.

A new feature has been added to the Web Console that allows you to change player names in the web interface. This is useful for moderation purposes or while testing your game.

To change a players name, head to the Players Page, select a player and click their name in the top of the page.

We've released a new Steam authentication endpoint with improvements to both flow and stability.

The improvements feature 2 changes:

• A simplified authentication flow, combining verification with starting a session into a single endpoint.
• New internal retry logic, which will automatically retry failed requests to the Steam Servers.

If you're using the Unity or Unreal SDKs, you do not need to make any changes, if you're using VerifyPlayerAndStartSteamSession to start sessions.

For people doing verification and session separately, the old endpoints will keep working, but we recommend switching to the new endpoint for better performance.

The new endpoint is available at POST /game/session/steam.

LootLocker now has a Notifications system to help your game track and deliver important updates from features like Rewards, Triggers, Leaderboards, and Progressions. Notifications are queued and can be consumed by the game, ensuring players never miss a critical message.

Learn how to make use of Notifications with our documentation.

We have re-released the Triggers feature with a complete overhaul, now built with improved performance, stabiliity and integrated with the Rewards system. The updated Triggers support both limited and unlimited activations, enabling more flexible reward scenarios.
