Hi I am trying to Build for IOS from cloud build but it tells me " Building disabled: concurrency exceeded " Even tho concurrent builds is 1. I don't understand what's going on. Attached a screenshot for the same.

[cloud edge]

Does anyone know where I can Find a tutorial about the Unity Gaming Services Economy

[plush cosmos]

Hi, I get this warning when build, but I don't recall using Windows.Forms.dll

[amber vapor]

Hello, the current project I'm working on is an mmo currently using mirror and Unity. It runs by the clients installing a client build and connecting to a server build on the server which is AWS. The team I'm on wants to switch to running the client build using WebGL to make things seamless without the install. WebGL has it's own challenges though. I'm here because one of the leads thinks that there is some sort of app streaming service with Unity where you can run the windows/ linux/ mac client build for instance on the server so the client can play from the server to the server build on the server. Does gaming services or another service do this? I immediately thought that even if it's possible it may be too expensive? I appreciate any information relating to this.

[tropic quartz]

Are banner ads coming to Unity Mediation?

[dim plaza]

Hi Neil. here you go. I just saw it a few days ago! --> Keep in mind, this WebGL direction, places more dependency on the host server(Usage and Bandwidth.) Therefore, you will have to use analytics, in order to have a good load balance. CPUs, RAM, bandwidth. This will add more overhead $$$. But here is what you were asking for on the Unity side of the house: https://unity.com/products/multiplay --> Good luck, I hope this helps!

[severe peak]

How do i get these ids ?

[sick hamlet]

i think they are talking about my service, appmana.com, whose demo you can try instantly here - https://player.appmana.com/watch/bonneville - or furioos

[sick hamlet]

in google developer console

it might not be an end user product yet

[clever copper]

Hi, i need info about connecting multiplayer to my game. Does unity give access to servers, how much it cost? And can I use third party servers.

[severe peak]

Thanks

[severe peak]

Is the server key is the API key ?

[sick hamlet]

i think you can google "push notifications getting started android google play services"

i don't know if it's maybe talking about unity3d provided push notifications that they facade gps

[simple crescent]

Don't have time to check but maybe the API Key is the Google Cloud Console API Key...

[amber vapor]

Thanks, I appreciate the help. I'm just getting started with the webgl stuff so any tips or info is very helpful.

[bronze compass]

Hello. When I start the unity project, the UnityPackage Manager is deleted
can someone help?
I allowed it in the brandmauser and looked in windows defender. It just deletes the file.

[peak wagon]

Is this where you go if you've got questions about in-app purchasing functionality?
I'm working on an IAP system using unity's In-App Purchasing package (e.g. with the UnityEngine.Purchasing namespace), but the StandardPurchasingModule class doesn't exist. I'm trying to generate a heap of products programatically from a database, since there are way too many to make them manually.

I have a question about relay and lobby, has anyone ever adapted the sample projects to a 2D top down design?

[uncut iron]

The perspective of the game doesn't change anything about lobby or relay

[severe peak]

the automatic sign in button does not work. and the manual setup takes me down a rabbit hole.

my 2nd issue is, getting the credentials. The problem is, unity isn't android studio, and i cant type in commands inside the project

[shut rampart]

So what does this azure deal mean to the end users? Are we going to see integrations with Azure or is it all behind the scenes?

[severe peak]

I believe this will be behind the scenes. this deal is particularly going to be for unity, and not the devs, though I am unsure about this myself. Gaming services, relays will be hosted on their servers.

However, maybe unity might allow free game servers for games to if your game does well enough that it should be hosted inside the cloud instead of host machine

im guesses anyway

[gaunt pagoda]

I've been trying to assign Pro seats to my organization since they looked to be "pending" when I opened unity this morning so it looked like my subscription wasn't active... Well I just checked and it's active but every time I try to assign seats I get a prompt that "Your entitlements are expired"... That along with my subscription's next charge date being in approximately 99 years... makes me thing something stinky is going on... Anyone else experiencing this?

[quiet granite]

Anyone had this issue before? Can't find any information how to "activate" the org, nothing changed compared to friday when it all worked

[simple crescent]

You'll probably need to supply more info and screen shots for others to be able to help...

[tepid lagoon]

Is it normal for the "Overview" tab for Plastic SCM to be blank? I assumed it would give setup instructions or something...

Update: Apparently the Overview tab of the Plastic SCM service in the DevOps suite requires third-party cookies to function. Enabling third-party cookies caused the Overview tab to show details about the Plastic SCM service, which is what I expected that tab to contain in the first place.

[peak wagon]

part of the problem is I'm under NDA
but whatever I'm working on other things now

[upbeat drum]

Do not hesitate to contact us at [e-mail] if you have any questions

Is anyone having issues with uploading builds manually to Cloud Build? For me, the upload finishes, but it then fails without giving any information on why it failed... I've tried downloading a previously uploaded build and re-uploading it, but the issue persists.
Update: This has been resolved.

[glad copper]

Hello, i was wondering where i can see the services that are free and don't require you payment information?

[spark horizon]

If you have a look on the pricing section of the Unity Gaming Services website, you can see what we have for free and what needs to be paid for: https://unity.com/solutions/gaming-services/pricing

[glad copper]

Is there the option to just make it stop when hitting the limit of the free version and not get charged after

[glad copper]

I think i found the answers there was a faq

unity banner ads dont seem to be showing in the eu. it shows the test ads in the editor but not in the android app. i tried a vpn connection to the US and the banner ads started showing (from mintegral, not unity🤷‍♂️ ) but on any EU VPN connection they dont show. any ideas?

im using unity ads version 3.7.5

[fathom tusk]

I'm a little bit confused by the IAP service. Does it cost any money to use? And it seems like I need to the Unity Gaming Services package or something to initialize it?

I installed the IAP package, but when I try to code the initialize script, it says "Unity.Services.Core" namespace could not be found

Seems like maybe you don't have to use Unity Gaming Services right now even though the docs say so.

[spice turret]

If I'm using Google AdMob, do I need to use Unity Ads SDK and such?

[fickle warren]

i can't find the relay or lobby package in the package manager... i feel kinda dumb asking this but how can i get them?

Hey guys! I'm new to unity and just started Ruby's Adventure Tutorial https://learn.unity.com/project/ruby-s-2d-rpg?uv=2020.3

It might be a silly question but im stuck at the part where we create tiles

Cuz there is no Tile creation option under create tab

This is how tutorial editor looks:

I checked the version and all but couldn't find a solution, any help is greatly appreciated 🙏

[uneven coral]

Are you using the exact recommended Unity version?

Make sure you've followed all the steps here exactly https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/main-character-and-first-script?uv=2020.3&projectId=5c6166dbedbc2a0021b1bc7c#61680d60edbc2a021f308fa5

Also use #💻┃unity-talk for general questions next time, please.

Hello guys please I got a problem: Ads were working fine on my published app and revenue was working 100% fine until I decided to try mediation and IAP without touching the published app, but changed the project settings in the dashboard to mediation. Real ads stopped working(test ads working) and revenue went down to 0, then I changed everything in the project settings to normal and it's still not working, thanks.

Anyone else having this issue?

[sweet wren]

Is Netcode/multiplayer networking dependent on Unity Gaming Services? Ie can I host my own UGS server or some such? Thanks.

[gaunt sun]

you don't need to use any of the services provided by UGS to use netcode for multiplayer, but from experience i can say the relay service is an excellent to use alongside netcode for gameobjects

[sweet wren]

excellent, thanks! I need/plan to learn more about it obviously but wanted to verify that architectural bit first.

Has anybody worked with Unity IAP? There are two sh.. classes CrossPlatformValidator. One of them is a Stub with not implemented methods. When I add UnityEngine.IAP.Security in my class, it uses that class with not implemented methods and not the other one
If I remove the entire folder related to that stub implementation from Unity IAP package, it cannot find the other CrossPlatformValidator yet

is their a way to make sure I never exceed the free limitations of unitys multiplayer system? I want to test around with it and try with friends at some point but just wanted to know if I could say like never go past what is free?

same question, but i don't even want to put my payment info, i am a student and under no circumstances do i want to have to pay until i make something that can make money

I did some extra research and unless you release the game to the public it is almost impossible to go over the free limit.

is there any tutorial on game server hosting (multiplay) out there?

[safe hamlet]

Hi, i have a question regarding hosting a dedicated server on Unitys new Multiplay service. I created a dedicated server Linux version of Unitys BR200, uploaded it to Unitys Multiplay and tried out "Quick play", i get the error "GameNotFound". Any ideas what it means? I can clearly see the server getting allocated from the Dashboard but i cannot join it.

[south heron]

Following this guide will help you start with multiplay hosting https://docs.unity.com/game-server-hosting/guides/get-started.html

@safe hamlet Do you have the matchmaker setup? https://doc.photonengine.com/docs/content/photon-fusion-br200-multiplay-integration-documentation-by-unity.pdf << there is a section in there with a guide for this

[safe hamlet]

@south heron Those are the guides I have been following. Is there anyway to verify that the server is actually launching the game?

Or anyway to debug what the server outputs

I found the logs but they didn't really contain useful information.

Hello everyone, how can I test Unity Relay on the same device? I mean, when I try it I get this error:

Self-connect not allowed (ErrSelfConnectNotAllowed)

I basically followed Tarodev tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdkvm21Y0xE&t=331s).

I also tried Parrelsync

[frosty arch]

You can't connect from the same profile with lobby, so you have to modify the authentication process if the client is a ParrelSync clone like so:

var options = new InitializationOptions();
#if UNITY_EDITOR
if (ClonesManager.IsClone()) options.SetProfile(ClonesManager.GetArgument());
else options.SetProfile("Primary");
#endif
await UnityServices.InitializeAsync(options);
``` and
```cs
#if UNITY_EDITOR
using ParrelSync;
#endif

[narrow blaze]

Thanks, now it works. 🙂

However i still have a problem

I expect LobbyService.Instance.QuickJoinLobbyAsync() to throw an exception when no lobby is found.

This is my code:

try
{
var lobby = await LobbyService.Instance.QuickJoinLobbyAsync();

        Debug.Log($"Success! (players in the lobby: {lobby.Players.Count}/{lobby.MaxPlayers})");
        return lobby;
    }
    catch (LobbyServiceException)
    {
        Debug.LogWarning("Failed to find a lobby..");
        return null;
    }

what happens is that everything works fine, but for some reason the debug show me the exception anyway.

So it theoretically catches the exception, but for some reason still make it appear in the debug window

[bitter turret]

[oblique nimbus]

Hey guys, is the unity matchmaking (multiplayer) service also compatable for Android games?

Because here I have to upload a server build for my project, but only Linux is available. How does this work if you want it for a mobile game?

[deft tinsel]

that is your server

nobody have android server

and client platform has no relation with the server OS

[oblique nimbus]

Ah right, so how do you create a server for your game to run on?

[deft tinsel]

what is this multiplayer exactly?

i mean what library did you use

any multiplayer game require a server, at least host

[oblique nimbus]

Well I only want to make use of the matchmaking service, the game multiplayer itself is done using a real time database

[deft tinsel]

to use matchmaking service, you must use unity multiplay hosting

if your game is using realtime database, then it wont work

unity multiplay only accepts game server instance/container

[oblique nimbus]

Yes I added multiplay to my project and installed the needed packages. But I will only use it for matchmaking,

When setting up pools for matchmaking I have no options for gosting settings though

[deft tinsel]

have u setup multiplay in the dashboard?

[oblique nimbus]

Well not properly yet, sicne I first need to upload a build

But not sure what files it want me to uplaod and if I need a new linux project to create a build for it?

[deft tinsel]

I told you

your game wont work if you are using realtime database based game

this only work if your game works like Dedicated Server as Instance

where you can deploy to Windows/Linux Server

[oblique nimbus]

So how would you use this for mobile applications then?

[deft tinsel]

its not about your mobile application

its about your networking infrastructure

you are using realtime database which is? what service?

you need to host your own 'realtime database' and deploy to gaming-services

if you dont have any the dedicated server which manage the database, u cant

[oblique nimbus]

So I'm using Firebase for the real time database part, but basicly I want players to both match up against each other and when in the game scene they will just query to the database to play the game.

So I don't mind hosting a dedicated server just for the matchmaking part

[deft tinsel]

ok thats impossible

firebase host their own for you

you cant get firebase realtime database dedicated server

unless you dont use firebase database, create your own database

[oblique nimbus]

Oke well I'm creating a turn based 1vs1 multiplayer game, but I guess I could also switch to just using unity multiplayer instead of a database

[deft tinsel]

if you are talking about netcode for gameobjects

that will work

[oblique nimbus]

Yeah

So tehn stil lsame question, how do I create a build for that

[deft tinsel]

you will have different build: server & client

for server u can set to linux or windows

client is the platform the players will play on

[oblique nimbus]

Oke so i will switch platforms to windows, make a build and then upload that

[neat gyro]

Hey there! I need to build an app where users log in and download exercises that contain 3D models alongside text and images/videos.

These files would be uploaded by teachers who don't have any programming knowledge

Looking for a good CDN I've just discovered the UGS Cloud Content Delivery and I think it could be a good alternative to Firebase or Amazon S3

The drawback is that I couldn't use addressables as they need to be built within the Editor

Could I send a GET request to get the different folders inside a bucket??

So in that way the files of each exercise would be stored in folders and I could fetch them

[deft tinsel]

btw whats wrong with s3?

Just configured multiplay and matchmaking for photon fusion BR sample. When i try to start matchmaking i got en error: [Matchmaker]: BadRequest (21400)
Title: Bad Request

Any ideas how to solve this issue?

[south heron]

@open temple It's could be the unity project id in the settings that is wrong: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/SettingUpProjectServices.html
Or it could be that you don't have the matchmaker queues and pools setup correctly, example how it's setup for the sample https://docs.unity.com/matchmaker/matchmaker-and-multiplay-sample.html#Unity_Matchmaker

Hello guys, I would like to develop few multiplayer mini games.
I'd like to know if I should first develop them and then integrate multiplayer or should integrate multiplayer while developing (learn multiplayer before I start game development)?

[frozen stream]

Hello !
Im a student trying things with the Unity Game Services
I want to add a "login with discord" function in my game, but Im having trouble with Oauth, OpenID and all that stuff, and when I see all the complex documentation about it im completely lost
For the moment I am able to get an Oauth2 token using the discord SDK, but after this I dont know what to do...
I looked into the Authentication documentation, and

I know that I have to use this :

And that I have to fill this :

The thing I dont understand is how to link the Oauth2 token I got with all of that

(And if it's even possible)

[deft tinsel]

develop + integrate at the same time

multiplayer is not just, put & go

[strange portal]

do you suggest me to use Unity gaming services or photon/mirror+playfab?
This should be series of really light mini games with 4 players, including lobby and invitation system

[deft tinsel]

what abt the matchmaking?

are you solo developer?

[strange portal]

yes, I am .NET developer regularly and beginner in Unity

[deft tinsel]

making multiplayer is a very tough

[strange portal]

I thought that is by default included

[strange portal]

I know 😄

[deft tinsel]

matchmaking really depends on the networking library

if photon, they manage matchmaking for you

others, manage your own by connecting using IP & PORT

• u have to create additional backend server to track deployed server

if you like to use Playfab, it has matchmaking

good addition for any library except photon

[strange portal]

great info, thanks Steak! May I add you to ask you few more questions later since I have to go now?

[deft tinsel]

is your game hosted-client or dedicated server?

yea sure

[raw bough]

Hello, im not sure which channel to ask for help on this. But i cannot see my friends organization in the "open" projects. or anywhere with plastic scm to be able to use it in collaboration.

i have verified i am on a seat, and all of that. but the project still wont show up for me to download.

how can i force unity to discover the project?

[oblique nimbus]

Hey everyone, I got the new Unity matchmaking working in my project, and calling StartClient() does return true but after a few seconds it says failed to connect to server, and the player object also never gets spawned

I can see in my servers list that that the server they are trying to connect to is in the allocating state as soon as they connect to it?

The error I'm getting is Failed to connect to server, with no more info

This is what I can see in the server events tab

[oblique nimbus]

Just as some extra info, my server build that I upload is created by switching my platform from windows to Linux, creating a build and uploading these files

[kindred comet]

hey all. does someone know, how to create a unity network lobby with a password? I tried it with this: NetworkManager.Singleton.ConnectionApprovalCallback += ApprovalCheck;

But i can't set the password

    private void ApprovalCheck(NetworkManager.ConnectionApprovalRequest request, NetworkManager.ConnectionApprovalResponse response)
    {
        // The client identifier to be authenticated
        var clientId = request.ClientNetworkId;

        // Additional connection data defined by user code
        var connectionData = request.Payload;

        string payload = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(connectionData);
        var connectionPayload = JsonUtility.FromJson<ConnectionPayload>(payload);

        bool approveConnection = connectionPayload.password == _passwordInput.text;

        response.Position = Vector3.zero;
        response.Rotation = Quaternion.identity;

        if (approveConnection)
        {
            switch (NetworkManager.Singleton.ConnectedClients.Count)
            {
                case 1:
                    response.Position = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);
                    break;
                case 2:
                    response.Position = new Vector3(2, 0, 0);
                    break;
                case 3:
                    response.Position = new Vector3(3, 0, 0);
                    break;
            }

            clientData[clientId] = new PlayerData(connectionPayload.playerName);

            response.Approved = true;
            response.CreatePlayerObject = true;
            response.Rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 180, 0);
            response.Pending = false;
        }
    }

[kindred comet]

Nobody?

[oblique nimbus]

Not a lot of people actually answer questions here xd

[oblique nimbus]

You will be best of emailing the Unity support team, thats what I did, they actually do respond and pretty fast as well :)

[acoustic jolt]

Alternatively the forums are better than the discord for questions like this

[kindred comet]

okey i try this.

well forum dont help that much

[raw cloak]

It's early morning for the large portion of Unity users. You're going to have to wait more than 30 minutes.

[kindred comet]

@raw cloak well i waited a day. you can see that next to my name, if you're new to discord 😉

[raw cloak]

I was referring to your forum comment

[kindred comet]

forum comment?

ah okey

[uncut iron]

Not gonna lie, your question should have been in #archived-networking and I don't even understand what the issue is?

[kindred comet]

I can't setup the code so that i can use a password for unity network

[uncut iron]

You're gonna need to be specific, I've watched this tutorial before

It does work

[kindred comet]

for the connection approval

How does it work?

when did you watched it? before the new version?

because so many things are different now

[uncut iron]

I know for a fact this process didn't change that much

So describe the actual issue you have

You have code here, what's it not doing that it ought to do

[kindred comet]

the callback function is now different

one moment i search for the code from the video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pe2LVZGTK20&list=PLS6sInD7ThM2_N9a1kN2oM4zZ-U-NtT2E&index=2
here at min 5:55. This method doesnt work any more

https://docs-multiplayer.unity3d.com/netcode/current/basics/connection-approval now it looks like this

[uncut iron]

Yes and you have updated yours, still failing to see your issue?

[kindred comet]

what updated?

[uncut iron]

You have updated your code for the new version of Netcode for GameObjects

I can see you have changed it

[kindred comet]

i started with the new version

so i am using the new version

and i am not sure how to get the password in there

[uncut iron]

Password from where?

The host setting it?

[kindred comet]

from a input field

i try to set it

[uncut iron]

Here

When the ApprovalCheck method is called, the incoming password is checked against the input field

[kindred comet]

i did this

[uncut iron]

Yes that's your code

[kindred comet]

but where do i have to set the password?

[uncut iron]

In the input field

[kindred comet]

i only see that it does check if its the right one

but how does the host set the password

[uncut iron]

In. The. Input. Field.

[kindred comet]

yes

so without a function the input field is useless

where does the input field say the server, this is the password the server should use

[uncut iron]

In that code you are checking the incoming password against the input field's text

[kindred comet]

aaaah

soo the password input text should not be the same as the client uses to but in the password after

so there should be a input field for the client to set the pw and a input field for the client to enter the pw?

[uncut iron]

Well the ApprovalCheck method is not run on the client

You could make them separate fields in separate menus, it'd probably look better

The difference is, when the client presses whatever "Connect" button you have, you need to set the payload to the value of the input field

[kindred comet]

that worked on the client side

the payload is the pw that i entered in the input field

what confused me was, where the server knows what the pw is

i thought the bool was just a check if the password is the right when the client enter it

and not check the host pw with the client pw

that makes more sense

[kindred comet]

Ho can there be a payload.password when i starthost the server? do i have to send a payload with the host?

[serene summit]

[jovial sparrow]

but how to see all that data in firebase 😦

[jovial sparrow]

Firebase only shows aggregates

[jovial sparrow]

If you want to do more analysis you have to set up the bigquery link

[maiden condor]

can u guide me

[jovial sparrow]

https://support.google.com/firebase/answer/6318765?hl=en#zippy=%2Cin-this-article

I've delegated the setup to someone else so I don't know the details myself

[still galleon]

Are the Unity Gaming Services still under active development? Some packages have been months without any new release (e.g. Economy) and most others have a very slow release cycle (a minor update every 2-3 months). Any information about this? We were considering relying on UGS for our mobile game, but the slow rate of development is making us lean towards PlayFab as a more fleshed-out alternative to UGS. Any thoughts?

[deft tinsel]

back to microsoft

[jovial sparrow]

I doubt playfab is better, run if you can

[still galleon]

The main difference, as I see it, is the frequency of updates to PlayFab vs UGS. PlayFab is regularly updated (both new features and bugfixes), but UGS development is completely opaque, seemingly stalled, and there's little-to-no information on release schedules, concrete and detailed roadmaps, etc. Building our own solution on top of something like Firebase or AWS is also a possibility, but would require a much longer dev time, so we were looking for some game-focused BaaS solutions. However, it just feels like UGS is not a good bet at the moment as development really seems to have slowed to halt after it came out of beta. Was wondering if any Unity peeps around here could provide more info about the future of UGS.

[jovial sparrow]

Nono I mean that playfab is also pretty bad

I don't know about UGS

But playfab is bad

We're not going to use it again for other projects if we can help it

And we're not even doing complicated things with it

[still galleon]

I only used PlayFab in a previous project to build a simple leaderboard for a hypercasual game. I remember the initial setup was a bit complex even though we just wanted to do something very simple. What don't you like about it?

And, if I may ask, what would you recommend for a backend solution (handling cross-platform cloud saves, leaderboards, etc)?

[jovial sparrow]

Most things are a pain to do, everything in their cloud script is a pain

[jovial sparrow]

Metaplay looks cool but haven't used it

[stray heath]

have u tried lootlocker?

[jovial sparrow]

Our savegames are too big and thus we had to split it into separate entries in the playerdata

[stray heath]

its very simple for those things

[jovial sparrow]

Which I think once again is causing issues

Their "analytics" events are pretty useless and you can't properly search them without their query language

Anything our player support people needs to do is so painful that we built a custom dashboard on top

Anyone who has access to the prod version of your game setup has access to users PII

So you can't really do proper access management to make sure that only people who need access to PII has access

Not sure if they even have access logs for PII data so you also can't track any PII violations if needed

[still galleon]

Jeez! Ok, those are all very good points. I do remember finding it weird that any useful data (their dashboards are incredibly basic) needed to be accessed through a specific query language, making it extremely hard to extract any kind of learnings from it. And, on top of that, everything else you mentioned constitutes a pretty big red flag. I'll look into both Metaplay and Lootlocker (thanks, @stray heath) to see if they fit our needs. Thank you both for the information!

[jovial sparrow]

Their server api if you want to do your own dashboard seems pretty decent though although I haven't used it to query data except for user's specific data (i.e. I already know their Id)

[surreal trench]

Hi there,
we appreciate the feedback!
Unity Gaming Services are still very much in active development.
We've just released

• WEBGL support for Analytics
• Oculus support for Authentication
• Bring your own id support for Authentication.
• Multiplayer self-serve hosting.
  And more new features and services are on the way!

Regarding Economy specifically, we've been focusing a lot more on technical service improvements in response to the great feedback we received. But don't worry, we have lots more new features on the roadmap for Q4 and beyond.

We also have a ROADMAP - https://unity.com/roadmap/unity-gaming-services/game-backend
Keep your eye on the Unity Forums for updates - https://forum.unity.com/

[jovial sparrow]

Mvp unity employee, actually joined to answer the question

[still galleon]

Thank you so much for the information. Choosing a backend solution is a big commitment and seeing the slow-paced development in some of the UGS areas is making us reconsider, but it's good to have some assurances that development is ongoing and new features will be coming. Thanks again! 😊

[inner cedar]

hi few things you mentioned are still not released on the roadmap ^^
but i have a question about

• Multiplayer self-serve hosting.
  does this include Relay ? would this require (significantly different) user/custom relay transport ?

[deft tinsel]

unity is going to be a cloud service provider now

[normal spade]

keep getting
Self-connect not allowed
from the relay service im using it with netcode for gameobjects
and i looked at https://docs.unity.com/relay/relay-message-protocol.html but i didnt under stand what the error means can anyone tell me?

[surreal trench]

Thanks for pointing that out, Ill speak to the teams to see if we can update the Roadmaps. Trying to get you a better answer for your question. In the meantime we have these docs that may give you the answer you seek. https://docs.unity.com/game-server-hosting/welcome.html

[surreal trench]

It seems you may be trying to connect to your own client? Make sure you have two distinct clients running when trying to connect through Relay.
Client A has code 123ABC If you try and connect From Client A to Client A using 123ABC you may receive that error you mentioned. Make sure to build and release a separate client or try using a cloned version of your project to connect with 2 editors.

[normal spade]

thanks

[deft tinsel]

i wonder if there will be comparison between UGS (multiplayer/hosting) compared to other Cloud service provider

[inner cedar]

i might have misunderstood : the 'Multiplayer self-serve hosting.' refers simply to set of services available via Unity Dashboard which allows their custom configuration (a.k.a. self-serve)
from the wording i got impression that a separate independent hosting on user premise would be possible, but that's probably not the case
so no need to pursue this further, thanks ! ^ unless the above is not true (thanks!)

[oblique nimbus]

Hey everyone, I'm having a issue where the client disconnects from the server after a few minutes, I'm using unity matchmaking for connecting.
And I'm not sending a lot of data at all, its a turnbased game. And I make sure to send something to the server every 15 seconds so I don't get kicked for being idle.
Not sure what could cause the player to disconnect out of nowhere? Also the server gets turned of when looking in the server list in my Unity Gameing Services

[oblique nimbus]

In the server log it does mention this: stack smashing detected

[astral wharf]

Since about one hour ago, one of our games (released today) has issues with Unity Relay. It seems when requesting a Join Code, we get one, but the Domain name that's returned doesn't resolve. Especially during a launch, this is very inconvenient. We haven't changed the code, and even verified that older and newer Code bases experience the same issue.

Invalid address 7510266373447314163-europe-west2.relay.cloud.unity3d.com:46841
UnityEngine.Debug:LogError (object)

It seems that domain doesn't resolve to anything.

The code in question wasn't changed before or during release and has been working for a while now. It at around 20:00 cest stopped working.

[astral wharf]

@sullen rain Sorry to ping you, but this is a kind of pressing matter for us.

[uncut iron]

So you pinged the community engagement manager?

Why not join the Netcode Discord where the people who work on this stuff are, linked in the pins of #archived-networking

But don't go spam pinging people, it's not the way to go about it

[astral wharf]

Because this is for me, a Unity Relay Problem, not a Netcode issue?

[uncut iron]

Almost like they have channels for it because it kinda falls under that area

Why would Netcode and Relay not go hand in hand?

[astral wharf]

Why have this channel then?

btw thanks for providing that.

[uncut iron]

Why have #archived-networking then?

Can you distribute the first build using Unity Cloud Content Delivery? I have a small website which uses AWS S3 to source the builds. I was wondering if CCD can totally replace S3

[jovial sparrow]

It's really not intended to host game binaries but I suppose you could?

[dreamy crag]

I know it's not supposed to given that most platforms have dominant distribution services ( Steam/Apple/ Google), but is it possible. It doesn't make business sense to host binaries in two places if CCD allows to transfer the game binary.

[jovial sparrow]

They have non unity download api so you put whatever you want in there

oh wow, it working now. i cant believe the sqp is causing the segmentation fault. i think they should have default value as none sqp, so ppl who want to test the new service can have their prototype running. big thanks!

Hey guys! Sorry if this question has been already asked and answered, but I couldn't find it anywhere. For context, I am implementing Authentication in my app with UGS on mobile, moreover, I am linking the user with GPGS as the external provider.

            playerId = AuthenticationService.Instance.PlayerId;

            RougeNetworkManager.Singleton.GetComponent<UnityTransport>().SetRelayServerData(hostData.IPv4Address, hostData.Port, hostData.AllocationIDBytes, hostData.Key, hostData.ConnectionData);
            RougeNetworkManager.Singleton.StartHost();

            UpdateUI();
        }```

Alright I feel like I'm losing my mind, I'm implementing the Relay Server with Netcode for Gameobjects right now. When the host creates a host allocation on the relay, I then bind it by setting the ServerRelayData which should bind it when I start the host instance. Although when I hop back to my client if I don't put the code in fast enough it will give me an error saying the Join code doesn't exist

How would I go about attaching the Unity profiler remotely to our server build? More specifically, how do I open the port range the remote tool searches through on a Multiplay server. I'd like to get some performance metrics there.

[hazy hazel]

i think you manually connect it, you have ip in the server sections and the port is in the server log with "Multi-casting "[IP] [Port] ". And in editor's Profile section > play mode > direct connect the ip. I dunno if the hosting server whitelist the port range though.

Hello. So now I've implemented unity ads in my game and everything is working fine except the test ads. Wherever i play my game in unity editor it shows test ads(my test mode is turned on) but when i build and run it on my phone it shows real ads even tho my test mode is on. Also I've heard that unity flags users as "fraud" who play real ads for testing purpose, is this actually true? If yes then how can i make sure that i see test ads while testing my build in phone.

We are also working on C# support so if you are more comfortable using this is will give you and alternative to Javascript in the future

Hey guys I really need to know this. Please help
So here the problem: you have a randomly rotated prop and you need to reset one specific rotation (for example: X) but ignore the otters (Y and Z).
Example: randomly rotated cube X:20 Y:60 Z:120 and you need to set not move slowly ! SET ! Y to 0 but X and Z need to stay at 20 and 120 as they were. ( the X Y Z i meant that ones you can see in Transform Rotate)
Please Please send me full code and explanation I really need it.

[tranquil matrix]

take a look at this: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform-eulerAngles.html
try something like:

transform.eulerAngles = current;

How does client pass specific levelmapID args to in Br200 project with Unity Mulityplay server and unity Matchmaking. In "StandaloneManager Global.MultiplayManager.StartMultiplay(request, configuration);" ,there is no client-passed-args to tell server to start specific map . Or Should I Create lots of Matchmaking Queues to specify which level client decide to play ?

[severe peak]

Hello so I need big help with this. I tried looking for answers online and it’s not giving me anything on this

Hey guys is there a way to retrieve Cloud Save data in batch?

For example, every player has a key called PlayCount, which indicates the number of times the player has played.
How can I get the sum of PlayerCount for all players?

Is that even possible?

[severe peak]

Like how do I get access to my assets again?

Nvm I fixed it

[stray heath]

Where are you storing this info? It’s possible but depends on what and how are you storing it

[jovial sparrow]

Also you wouldn't want to recalculate that on each client

You should store a total play count separately

[dense token]

It doesn't matter

If I can do it, I don't mind

I just want to get the backend data in a more efficient way

How can I do it?

[stray heath]

Use a database or similar. I prefer a nosql one , and store total plays attempts for each player . There are also things like LootLocker to help you store this in their own DB . The important takeaway here is using a database

Hi! I wasn't sure which channel to put this question in but I recently renamed my project but some of the assets are still pointing to the old name. Does anyone know why?

[sage jackal]

Is there any tutorial (not documentation) about matchmaker backfilling?

[jovial sparrow]

Idk about actual tutorial but the docs seem pretty much like a tutorial on how to create a backfill ticket and approve it

[sage jackal]

Hmm, I have read the docs but still don't understand how to use it.
So, each client should create a backfill ticket before create a matchmaking ticket?
Then if there is server app currently allocated, it should know there is a new backfill ticket and call a script to approve it?
Client will get MatchmackingResult and join with matchId, but if don't get matchId then start create matchmacking ticket.
Is it correct?

Currently I can create a matchmaking ticket in client app, then matchmaker will open a new server app.
In server app, I retrieve matchId to create a photon fusion session.
The client will get a match id also, and use it to join a same session.
The problem is every time client app created a matchmaking ticket, it will open new server and join new session.
I just know that I should implement backfilling, but still trying to understand it.

                }

                    Debug.LogError(e);
                }
            }

I have an error

what is odd is that it says I'm already sign in (which is possible that's why I do the if)
and in isTransient it's a notImplementedException (might be unrelated)

I don't know how I can recover from that since the ErrorCode is InvalidUserState

the only thing I can do is check is the message is "already signed in"

I can do that but either I do something wrong or the code doesn't behave as expected

                    Debug.LogError(e);
                    if (!e.Message.Contains("The player is already signing in")) {

9/10 times my client is not connecting to my server in Relay. I do NetworkManager.Singleton.StartClient() and then after that check NetworkManager.Singleton.IsClientConnected and it continues to return false. What should I do?

[craggy oxide]

There's so much stuff that can screw over that handshake lol

[glossy roost]

i've checked isserver and islistening on the host. i've checked that start client is returning true. if there's an issue, the debug log isn't showing it

what do

[craggy oxide]

client and server are the same unity version?

[glossy roost]

yes

i'm using netcode for gameobjects

[craggy oxide]

Tough, I'm assuming configuration is correct. So it kinda limits to connectivity issue or maybe some firewall shenanigans with the associated ports.

[glossy roost]

then why would it connect randomly?

[craggy oxide]

True, it wouldn't with firewall.

[glossy roost]

also, scratch connecting one out of 10 times. now it has connected only twice in 30 times

wtf switching from dtls to udp fixed it

[craggy oxide]

Yea, UDP is typically the most common transport layer for gaming. Figured network protocol fell under configuration! lol

[glossy roost]

still, i wonder how i can make dtls reliable for me because ultimately i have to use it

[thin berry]

The player that creates a lobby gets joined to it automatically?

[stray heath]

wrong section. #💻┃unity-talk

[fossil heath]

can someone explain to me why I would need to use unitys Relay service? I am confused, does the lobby service and Netcode for gameobject service already cover joining players and then syncing data for all players across the network? so whats the point of Relay?

[robust swan]

The lobby service only manages maintaining a list of lobbies/rooms and the server side logic of joining and leaving them. It doesn't cover sending messages between clients, that's what Relay is for.

You can use Relay without the lobby service, and you can use the lobby service without Relay, but then you need some other way to send messages between clients, like peer2peer or some other relay service.

NetCode for GameObjects is just code for preparing the network packets and receiving packets from the server, but it doesn't act as a server by itself.

[fossil heath]

ok so i do need to use relay, thanks guys

[analog crystal]

Can anyone tell me why I get that "InitializationListener is null, you will not receive any callbacks" error and how I can fix it?

How can I do that?

   const tierRewards = remoteConfigData[claimTierKey];

            returnRewards.push(tierRewards.reward);
        
        }
        // Does the current player own the current Battle Pass?
        // By this point in the code, the BattlePass would have been reset if it was too old.
        const ownsBattlePass = playerState.battlePassPurchasedSeason === remoteConfigData.EVENT_KEY;

        if (ownsBattlePass && tierRewards.battlePassReward != null) {
            returnRewards.push(tierRewards.battlePassReward);

This is from BattlePass_ClaimTier sample

i have a trouble where returnRewards alway return as []

i sure did have data in remoteConfig

Can anyone help me find where the problem from

[fallow breach]

in your class definition, after : MonoBehaviour add ,IUnityAdsInitializationListener then visual studio will prompt you that you need to implement two new methods in your class OnInitializationComplete and OnInitializationFailed (UnityAdsInitializationError error, string message) these will be called if init works or fails.

[analog crystal]

Thanks a lot!

[fallow breach]

I think you have missed something in your configuration, the reason you get an empty arrays is since claimTierKey value isn't found in the remoteConfigData, do you know what key you are using?

[tawdry plover]

Hi!

I'm getting pretty angry with UGS. I signed up for Plastic SCM and provided credit card details, but I was a bit sloppy and didn't realize that the free tier of 5GB project storage is, for most use-cases, completely useless. As I'm just hobby tinkering I'm not about to shell out 100+ dollars a year for SCM storage. So I want to cancel. And I can't. I can't remove my credit card details and I can't cancel SCM either. If I got to Plastic SCM => About => "Manage My Subscription" I just get thrown out to "explore services" again.

Only solution I can find so far to make sure no money gets deducted from my account (should the account get compromised in 2 year's time when I'm not really paying attention and someone start incurring charges) is to lock my card to all internet payments, which is hardly something I want to do atm.

It should probably not be this hard to cancel a service you're not interested in, and preventing me from removing my credit card feels like such a douche move. Why do you want to force maximum inconvenience for your users? If someone wants to use your services and then not pay for them they will just disable payments from the card anyway, it's not like this "feature" provides any benefit to legit users at all.

AAAH! STOP WASTING MY TIME!

[stray heath]

I wouldn't call Plastic SCM a part of UGS

[tawdry plover]

Well it's right there in the dashboard, under the UGS banner, but I'm not interested in semantics.

[analog crystal]

Could you edit the code for me? Really not a coder and Visual Studio doesnt prompt me. Not sure how exactly to implement those new methods in my class...

[fallow breach]

Your class should look like this: `public class BannerAdsiOS : MonoBehaviour, IUnityAdsInitializationListener {
private string gameId = "5100266";
private string surfacingId = "Banner_iOS";
private bool testMode = true;

void Start() {
    Advertisment.Initialize(gameId, testMode, this);
}

void OnInitializationComplete() {
    Advertisment.Banner.SetPosition(BannerPosition.TOP_CENTER);
    Advertisment.Banner.Show(surfacingId);
}

void OnInitializationFailed (UnityAdsInitializationError error, string message) {
    Debug.LogWarning("Error with ads init: "+message);
}

}`

Are there any known issues with Unity's new Input System and Netcode? I did the Tarodev tutorial fine but when I tried it with a 3D animated humanoid using the new system the netcode stuff didn't work properly (for example, ClientNetworkTransform didn't synch anything)

[fallow breach]

do your humanod move on the client?

[analog crystal]

Still same

[wet wharf]

@fallow breach Yeah things move ok but it's the synching that's wrong. Like for example I'd create a host, move the player to a spot on the map, then spawn a client. What SHOULD happen is that the client sees the host where they're supposed to be, but instead it's spawning the host at the origin.

@fallow breach Also, before any synching you should be controlling both characters on either instance. Something you need to fix with transform synching but even without any of that only one player moves. Everything worked fine with my simple RB stuff but the new system seems to have issues

[fallow breach]

Hard to say, i haven’t worked with banner ads so i suggest you look at the unity docs and see if you need to specify size or if you have misses something else.

anyone know of any good video tutorial for google auth using ugs ?

[brazen jungle]

Hi.

I assume that UGS services are separate modules and I can use some of them and use other solutions instead of UGS.

Is this a right assumption?

For example I would like to build a multiplayer game with

• Photon Multiplayer solution
• Photon built in Matchmaking (having in mind to change to maybe UGS matchmaking later)
• UGS Authentication
• UGS Could Save

My assumption is that if later I change my mind and try to implement UGS Matchmaking, it would be easy change, which is not dependent from let say UGS Authentication.

Thanks in advance.

Are there any good examples out there for using Authentication via OpenID?

It's very confusing

[lapis sinew]

anyone familiar with the new lobby events?

I subscribe to the lobby event handler via lobby id and get a successful response

although none of my event callbacks are firing. am i missing something?

I was expecting on player join to update etc.

lobby gets deleted, no update on the client side

  public async Task QuickJoinLobby()

[lapis sinew]

Version define UGS_BETA_LOBBY_EVENTS is defined, but the IWire component is not available. This means you do not have the Wire package in your project!

is this a problem?

[dusk night]

yeah, for the beta events, you need wire (our websocket gateway), let me dig into how you can get it. Which version of the lobby package are you using?

[lapis sinew]

I appreciate the help. I did not realize some of the preview packages needed the version set explicitly to get the latest version

It's working great now 🙌

[dusk night]

great to hear!

[finite drum]

Hey!
Which identity provider are you currently using?

1. Make sure you have set up an Open ID Connect provider in the Dashboard: https://docs.unity.com/authentication/SettingupCustomOpenIDConnectIDProvider.html
2. and here are some samples for implementation:
   https://docs.unity.com/authentication/PlatformSignInOpenIDConnect.html

[zealous escarp]

Yes, you should be able to do that. For the other question, you'll still need to use UGS' authentication as that's the ID needed under the hood for the services to know who each player is, who's data is from, etc. If you want to chat more, feel free to ping me.

[tall lance]

was anyone able to setup google play game services? let me know

[dusky egret]

Nope, I found it to be an absolute nightmare, with random error messages and things not working.
Eventually I got it 'working' but when it came to configuring everything around privacy and consent on Google Cloud Platform, I wasn't even sure what to do anymore, or what was required of me so I gave up. Must have spent more than 30-40 hours trying to get it configured.

I'm sure you can figure that out yourself by looking at the various channels and their descriptions at the top of the screen

But Unity Gaming Services channel is for Unity Gaming Services, i.e Analytics, Cloud build etc

Didn't see there was a gaming services thread
I am trying to get everything in order for the terms and services/ Privacy policy stuff, I read this https://docs.unity.com/analytics/en/manual/AnalyticsSDKGuide
but I cant make much sense of it, does anyone have any exp with this?
My main question is when you add a consent form to your game, do you need to send the consent to your unity analytics to have on record? Or can it be as simple as "accept the terms or you are locked out of the app"?

[dire notch]

@desert prism I have mailed unity about my unity account login issues. The problem is i am not receiving TFA code on my mobile to login to my account.
Auto response said it will take 7 days to respond.

[desert cosmos]

@dire notch I was actually trying to set up TFA today and I was also not receiving messages, they might have it down for the time being, you might just need to give it some time to come back up

[dire notch]

@desert cosmos Do not setup TFA or you won't be able login to your projects. Personal license is also causing problems as it expiring in a week through unity hub.

[desert cosmos]

Will keep it in mind

[dire notch]

They need to send TFA to our email also just incase it doesn't reaches our mobile message app.

Hi everyone, does anyone know how to turn on CORS on the Unity gaming services bucket to build to webGL? I've tried looking for the menu for CORS in the bucket but haven't found one.

GM all, has anyone here used Loot Locker for online leaderboards? are there more services that provide something similar?

what's wrong with lootlocker

pretty much any cloud database service does this same service, LL is just tailored for games. Database does all the work

[warped owl]

nothing, i just wanted to know if any other services was out there

[stray heath]

the advantage of lootlocker is geared towards games and free tier doesn't require a CC on file in contrast to other cloud services usually require cc for free tiers @warped owl

another popular choice is google

Firebase or w/e

or Microsoft's playfab

[warped owl]

yeah i have played with FireBase, LL gives more quick wins OOB

i am just looking for a different method of submitting my score not using a DieTime co routine. jut seeing how other services are submitting their scores, th eonly one LL provides is the Die Time return yield method.

So i was uploading my unity mobile game to the play store, but i release a buggy aab to the first production release. What happens if i put through another production release. Does the 1st release just get ignored (not reviewed) and the 2nd one (newer) is reviewed instead?\

I know this a strange question to ask here but couldnt really find the appropriate place to ask sory.

[jovial sparrow]

Not sure if the review is cancelled but it doesn't really matter

You can just release your new one instead

I was just a bit excited and was worried if it would delay the release.

1 does cloud save need to be connected to the internet at all times or can you play the game without internet and it will be saved locally until back online

2 can cloud build build an app for iOS with xCode is you don’t have a Mac

Yes but you need Apple App Credentials and a cert to deploy it to the store. Not 100% sure how to generate the cert without a mac but I'm sure Google has the answer.

I'm creating Economy system for my game and I stumbled upon something that can be an issue soon. I've got a lot of Inventory items that are unique, and each should be separate entry in the Inventory, like sword, armor etc.
On the other side I have something like consumable potions that can be bought in packages (5/10/50 items). I would like to store this as a single item, with custom JSON that has information about current amount. Is there any way to achieve it? By default, if I set Virtual Purchase with amount set to 50, I get 50 new entries in the inventory. I can't treat is as a currency as number of currencies are capped to 20 and that's not enough for me.

PS: The only option I see now is to treat is as a currency after all, but set custom JSON that holds information about amount of each type for example: blue: 50, red 200 etc. But I'm not sure how I can configure Virtual Purchase to pass info on what I buy.

Hey, so. A couple days ago I had an error that wouldn't go away. I looked it up on google and a bunch of people said to delete the BEE folder in unity. I did that, updated my unity engine and it started working. However, I now have 812 warnings and 437 error messages in the console saying things like, "Asset Packages/com.unity.ugui/Tests/Runtime/Util/GraphicTestHelper 2.cs has no meta file, because it's in an immutable folder. The asset will be ignored." - An example of 1 of the 437 error messages. An example of a warning message - "Couldn't delete Packages/com.unity.sd.sprite/Editor/Interfact/IGUIUtility.cs s.meta because it's an immutable folder." And these error messages affect my game in no way. They are just clouding up my console for no reason and I can't read my debug.logs. Cn anyone please help?

Dedicated Server Setup with Fusion-Unity Multiplay-Unity Matchmaking

When using Dedicated Server, Unity Multiplay allocates a new server per session? Let's say we have a session of about max players 20 and max tickets also 20 for matchmaking. If any new player creates a new ticket for matchmaking, I see Multiplay allocate a new server. Is it possible to use one dedicated server for multiple sessions? Or Is this normal for allocating a new server per session?

I would like to know if it is possible to use the Relay service to achieve this.

both the pc game and the mobile game are different unity projects. what it takes is being able to send data to each other in real time.

[open jungle]

I'm evaluating backends for a Meta Quest game so I would like the service I use to support frictionless sign-up/in using the Oculus User.GetProof() nonce as well as Oculus in-app purhcase APIs. Looking over the UGS Authentication docs, there seems to be a gap in the Oculus authentication cycle, and just ends with "do authentication here", and there is no mention of Oculus IAP API support in Economy docs. Did I miss something in the docs, or does UGS not provide details as to how to do this?

[robust swan]

This might help:
https://forum.unity.com/threads/authentication-now-supports-oculus-meta-quest.1353575/
As for IAP, yeah I don't think they support Oculus IAP, just the authentication.

im planning on using relay for a 1v1 vr game

i will be transmitting the location and location of 3 objects per player, as well as a handfull of other objects (less than 5)

i do not understand the pricing https://unity.com/solutions/gaming-services/pricing

how many players/matches can i expect to have playing before i must pay

i am a student and i want to keep costs to 0 until i know i have the cash in case my game blows up and i have to pay up

right now the game will be meta quest only. i will be adding steam vr in the future but it is a vr only game

if anyone replies i ask that you please reply with ping on or directly mention me. This channel is kinda dead so I will be waiting for a ping

i managed to understand a bit more about it

but i want to know how i can implement safe guards in my game to prevent more than 50 users from playing at once and stop a user once they go over 3 gib

how can i tell when they are going over

[hearty palm]

Hi! I've been exploring the services UGS offers and they seem cover everything I need, except for a general server-side database that I can update without making a new release.
The Economy service allows for something close to what I want, but I would like to store entities that will never be "obtained" by players like enemies or overworld information.
Cloud Content Delivery is close too, but it seems to be built for set assets instead of a flexible data set.

So, is there a way I'm not seeing to tackle this or will I need an external service?

[undone oriole]

so, i have my lobby and everything. the host saves the code for the relay in the loby data and now i need to read said data as a difrent person who wants to join the relay. but unity says that the JoinCodeKey doesnt exist in the current context when i try reading it

[open jungle]

UGS has one up on Playfab because of Oculus authentication, but Playfab has one up because it has Photon authentication via provided custom server setting. Does UGS have something similar?

[hearty palm]

Ok let's try a different approach.
What kind of cloud database would work best with UGS? Ideally something I could connect with from Cloud Code.

[undone oriole]

i hate the unity lobby documentation it says you can set and read lobby data but theres no example on how to actually read it on the documentation. when i set lobby data how do i read it from a diffrent client

?

[open jungle]

Does UGS not have an equivalent to "player profiles" (to get username and avatar URL for someone offline) and leaderboards?

(sounds like a bunch of us want UGS to work, but it just keeps falling short)

[open jungle]

For player profiles, I figured out how to use CloudCode to get data from another player's CloudSave.

[upbeat horizon]

hey everyone, do you know if you can try user acquisition with less than $500 ? For example by transferring funds from your unity ads revenues

[upbeat horizon]

<@&502880774467354641> does anyone know the answer to this ?

[jovial sparrow]

You should probably contact support instead, don't ping admins here

[upbeat horizon]

I created a forum post is that ok or do you mean something else ?

[uneven coral]

@upbeat horizon This is a community server don't ping admins with non-server related problems. Use forum or create a support ticked on the site.

[upbeat horizon]

got it, why do I have the permission then ? If there is a problem with the discord server ?

[raw cloak]

If there is a server related issue that needs dealing with, it's how you get someone's attention (same with mods).

[idle zinc]

Guys I have a problem. What is the typical payment to develop a simple tug of war multiplayer online game (using UGS)? I don't know how much I should charge for such a game.

Hey, can I use Unity Game Services to make a 3d multiplayer game? And is it the most used option by other Devs?

[uncut iron]

Unity Gaming Services is a variety of different services, some of which you may wish to use to make a multiplayer game

I doubt it's the most used option, given it was only launched last summer

[woeful topaz]

Well, is it the "best" then? Or what Features does it have that I might want to use? .-.

[uncut iron]

https://unity.com/solutions/gaming-services The website goes into more detail about which services they provide

[desert wasp]

Hey!
The **Multiplay + Matchmaker **stack is understandable for session games, I need to deploy servers for MMO persistent servers that store their state permanently and can restore it.
What option do you suggest for this case?
Authorization through the unity auth service, getting an ID, saving the profile to my database or to your cloud, then through matchmaking for the first time we find a free server, save its ID and the next time we don’t use matchmaking, and connect to the server directly?
You are guaranteed IP addresses for servers (if the server crashes and Kubernetes under the hood starts a pod on a new server).

[charred sage]

I am still very new to Unity so this wont apply to me for a while but how long could servers be running for for the Free tier plan for Unity Gaming Services? and how many players would it likely support under the Free Tier?

Hi guys, I'm developing a non-sophisticated multiplayer game using Unity Gaming Services (UGS).
I'll be needing a handy online database service to store my data.
As UGS still doesn't offer this service, what would you recommend among all options like firebase?

[stray heath]

https://unity.com/products/cloud-save

[idle zinc]

CloudSave only can store data for each player. I need a flexible online database to store rather than data of players, e.g. statics and data of each round in game

[stray heath]

think if you want relational databases or not, any should do.

MongoDb is nice

[idle zinc]

I'll check it out. Generally I look for something like Firebase services. Thanks for your help

[stray heath]

they all do the same stuff

some have Unity SDK which is nice

[idle zinc]

I'm still wondering why Unity hasn't add this feature to UGS... Also there are some drawbacks in player management... You can't delete a player! Which is a must... You can't access another players CloudSave!!!

[stray heath]

I have only UGS for relay/lobby . I don't know about their other services sry

[remote shadow]

I asked this question in #💻┃code-beginner but someone said to ask it here so I’m just gonna link the thread https://discord.com/channels/489222168727519232/1084964355147309148

Why is Unity Gaming Services completely blocked in Iran? I'm not in Iran but i have many friends in Iran and when testing my game they cannot do anything thats connected to UGS.

Hi, in the Leaderboards call LeaderboardsService.Instance.AddPlayerScoreAsync(LeaderboardId, score) returns a LeaderboardEntry that always has player rank = 0. Shouldn't it return the rank that player score got? So I don't have to make another call using GetPlayerScoreAsync and reduce the amount of calls per MAU? Or is it a bug?

[sick sun]

Thinking of switching over from PlayFab to UGS - just cannot get PlayFab going. Has anyone made the switch before?

Ill check if that's meant to be on purpose or not

Hey everyone. I've got a question on validating a users session token given by UGS on our game server when requests are made from the client.

The documentation says there is a 300 request limit over 30 minutes to the Authentication API. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place in the documentation, but those numbers don't seem production worthy. Is there another API that is used to validate an already existing session token that's not rate limited?

[slate sluice]

Does anyone know if the new leaderboard service works with WebGL builds?

I'm using it with Anonymous Sign In and it works just fine. Don't know about other types of sign in.

Hi I get this error in my Headless Linux build using Unity Multiplay:

cant resolve internal call to "System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal::GetIUnknownForObjectInternal(object)" (tested without signature also)

Your mono runtime and class libraries are out of sync.
The out of sync library is: /game/Apple_Data/Managed/mscorlib.dll

When you update one from git you need to update, compile and install
the other too.
Do not report this as a bug unless you're sure you have updated correctly:
you probably have a broken mono install.
If you see other errors or faults after this message they are probably related
and you need to fix your mono install first.
cant resolve internal call to "System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal::GetHRForException_WinRT(System.Exception)" (tested without signature also)

Not sure how to resolve it. Not sure where its coming from. I've tried tweaking with every build setting imaginable and it still appears. Tried reimporting assets. Tried just about everything. Anyone ever experience something similar? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hello! I am looking for the pricing info for the plastic cloud edition, its very unclear in the pricing page in the new website, can someone direct me to the right page or give me some info, also did the pricing change after the big changeover?The old plastic website was pretty clear and straightforward,I can't seem to find it on the net

[sick sun]

Is there anyway to get the number of players searching for a match in the pool?

or at least the average queue time?

[terse oracle]

here is a link to our pricing page. https://unity.com/products/unity-devops#pricing plastic is now available as part of the DevOps product. If you only use plastic (now called Unity Version Control) then you would pay for seats + monthly storage, but you will also have access to Build Automation which is where the minutes and concurrency prices come into play.

[sick sun]

Can I call Cloud Code functions from a server that's hosted on Multiplay? I'd like to get the players details straight into the server, instead of constantly querying Cloud Code from the clients

[sick sun]

No... don't seem to be able to do this

Can't use Cloud Save like this either

That seems like a huge pain in the ass limitation 😦

Going to have to do it through the REST API I guess

[shrewd magnet]

Is there a place to ask questions about Unity Multiplay?

[sick sun]

I think its here.. just really quiet

Let me know if you find somewhere else

[delicate timber]

For a fighter game, does anyone happen to know which networking solution (self-host, direct p2p, server-model, p2p with a relay) is best (for both 1v1 and 2-4 players)?
And what package offers it?

[shrewd magnet]

What you mean by "what package offers it" ?

[delicate timber]

photon, mirror, ngo, or fishnet

[shrewd magnet]

I go with fishnet currently - can't tell what the others do

[sick sun]

Im mirror atm, but I'd roll with FishNet if I was starting a new project

But both offer P2P or Dedicated Server models... just depends how you want to use them

As does Photon 🙂 No idea what NGO is though

[shrewd magnet]

in GSH Multiplay a server is started and when it's deallocated it is not shut down right? It's just in an idle state as far as I understand? So allocation != server startup

[sick sun]

I think it stays active for a while from what I can tell, then eventually shuts down

[delicate timber]

Looking for one that offers a proxy to protect people’s security

Does fishnet or mirror offer that?

[sick sun]

That would be done outside of those packages, wouldn't it ?

[sick sun]

Hoping there is a way to keep some servers hot, because the cold starts are pretty brutal lol 1min+

But once its hot, its like 2 seconds

[shrewd magnet]

Yeah it's similar to google cloud run services

[delicate timber]

Thank you both

[shrewd magnet]

Does one has to pay for Test Allocations in Multiplay?

Is it possible for Unity Build Automation configurations to automatically select the version of Unity in use by the project? Currently we have to remember to update all of the configurations whenever we upgrade to a new version of the editor.

[hybrid pecan]

Depending on the source control provider, yes. When configuring the target there should be an option for Auto Detect Unity version. If you check that it looks at the project settings and determines the version

[tepid lagoon]

I'm using Unity Version Control, but I don't see an "Auto Detect Unity version" settings

Hi, you can access remote config from anywhere using the rest API: https://services.docs.unity.com/remote-config-client/v1 if your headless server is running a Unity build then you're able to just use the package from the editor (go to package manager and search for remote config.)

Is Cloud Code Client SDK able to cast output to a list?

I have endpoint that returns an object, it works like a charm
CloudCodeService.Instance.CallEndpointAsync<OutputData>

Response body is something like that:

  "active": false,
  "expireTime": 1680856407767
}```

I created an endpoint that returns list of OutputData, response body looks like that:
```[
  {
  "active": false,
  "expireTime": 1680856407767
  },
  {
  "active": true,
  "expireTime": 1680856807767
  }
]```

I tried to cast it like that:
```CloudCodeService.Instance.CallEndpointAsync<List<OutputData>>```
```CloudCodeService.Instance.CallEndpointAsync<OutputData[]>```

None of this works. I get error: InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid. Can anyone help?

On prem or cloud? For cloud hosted it should work...

[tepid lagoon]

It's cloud hosted. It's also encrypted

Where exactly is the checkbox supposed to be located at?

[drowsy comet]

Is there really nobody that can answer the question of what happened to all the Unity Cloud Save documentation pages? All the links result in a "Not Found" page error.

[raw cloak]

Almost everyone here are users like you. You can post on the forums, Unity is more active there and you may get an actual response from them.

[drowsy comet]

The irony is that Unity encourages people to ask on Discord these days, instead of the forums. 😅

[raw cloak]

Probably to offload to community members. But nobody will know the ins and outs as to what happened on Unity's end, but them.

[hybrid knoll]

The forums are easier for us to keep an eye on than discord but we're definitely able to help here as well!

[hybrid knoll]

Which links are these, the cloud save documentation can be found here: https://docs.unity.com/cloud-save

[drowsy comet]

Go to the "Implementation" section, scroll down, and attempt to click on "Platform-specific authentication". ...that's just one example.

[hybrid knoll]

Thank you for flagging this, so it seems like the formats of the documentation the cloud save documentation links to has changed. That's not good and we should fix this!

[hybrid pecan]

The encryption is the issue. I checked my un-encrypted plastic project and it has a checkbox right below selecting the unity version for auto detection.

I checked my encrypted project and that option isn't there. On Monday I'll see if we just need to make a UI update to show that button. If you wanted to skip waiting until Monday you could try using the rest apis to update a target and set it to auto detect.

https://build-api.cloud.unity3d.com/docs/1.0.0/index.html#operation--orgs--orgid--projects--projectid--buildtargets--buildtargetid--put

Should just need to make the API call there with the body

{ "settings": { "autoDetectUnityVersion": true } }

You could then try triggering a build and see if it works.

[tepid lagoon]

Oh wow, thank you!

[tepid lagoon]

I'm getting an error when I try to submit that API call, unfortunately. It's not urgent; I can wait until next week. Thanks for the assistance!

Actually, nevermind I was able to get the API call working, but now the build fails when I try to run it in Unity Build Automation. It says that it cannot parse the version from ProjectVersion.txt, I'm guessing because it doesn't have the encryption key at that stage?

[hybrid pecan]

I'm not 100% sure. I'll have to take a look at it next week and see if I can find the problem and if I can reproduce the issue

I was able to check and this functionality should work. I'd recommend opening up a support ticket through the dashboard so that someone can dig into the logs for your project to figure out why it isn't working.

You can use Cloud Code from within a server on a user's behalf.

Hello, I am trying to implement Unity Lobbies to create/join and start games which run on NetCode. I have a dedicated server running on the unity cloud and have implemented a reconnection feature where disconnected players can rejoin the game before 5 mins. If they fail to join in 5 mins, they lose the seat and a new player can join the seat. I have trouble with the lobby part though. On disconnect the lobby player count reduces by 1 and it agrees to take another player in.

I would like to stop this new player from joining till the disconnected players completely gets booted after 5 mins

Thats the gist of what I am trying to achieve

So I would like to know, is it advisable for a Unity headless server to login to Unity Gaming Service, everytime it boots on the cloud and join different lobbies?

What that would help me do is, I could monitor the player's joining and reject connections if the seat isn't vacant yet even if the player isn't connected to the lobby at that point of time

I used to do the same on PlayFab headless servers. I would LoginWithCustomID as "Server" and all my server instances would be accessing a dummy player profile from the server but the billing was too harsh, because it kept repeating the login process everytime i booted up the server

Sorry for the long post, and thank you for your time
