It is now possible to remove promoted UGC from the Game API. Calling the delete endpoint even for promoted UGC will no longer return an error.
The players pages have received the following updates:
🎉 Unreal SDK v5.3.0 is released 🎉 Exciting updates! Introduced new Player Info endpoints, enhanced Player and Asset Metadata, and streamlined UGC creation. Get specific currency details easily now. Steam auth is smoother, and asset contexts can handle multi-equip. Note deprecations for cleaner integration. Check the full changelog!
🎉 Unreal Server SDK v3.3.0 is released 🎉 Exciting updates! You can now schedule leaderboards via the Server SDK, access leaderboard ULIDs for enhanced interactions, and leverage versatile metadata for both players and assets. Dive into the full details in our changelog!
🎉 Unity SDK v3.6.1 is released 🎉 New features include GetCurrencyDetails for specific currency info and enhanced leaderboard data returning ULIDs for better metadata handling. Bug fixes: UnEquipIdAsset methods now function correctly. Note: Transition from full player storage to Player Metadata is recommended.
Squashed a bug in the Admin API which would in some circumstances result in drop table grants not saving correctly.
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:
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
