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
.
