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.

Deprecations

• With the introduction of Triggers 2.0, the old triggers system is deprecated. Adressing this will require you to re-configure your triggers in the new triggers configuration. To do this, please refer to our documentation. Once you have done this, simply call the new InvokeTriggersByKey method in place of the ExecuteTrigger method. For a deeper understanding of using triggers in game, refer to our documentation.
• Group leaderboard rewards no longer contain the metadata field as it's no longer returned from the backend.
