[fair hedge]

Understood, so is there no where in the web dashboard that the username's appear?

[mental umbra]

Yeah I think it is a hold over from how authentication mechanisms all used to be Identity Providers (as @warm badge noted). You can't currently see Player Names under their either, which also feels weird.

I've just logged this as a defect for my team - we see if we can surface that information at least on the Player Management page.

[random rivet]

can i use UGS lobby/matchmaker/game server withmy own authentication service? or do i need to use theirs?

and are UGS systems SDK using statics or not? My game cannot use any statics in it for technical reasons

[warm badge]

You can use custom authentication
https://docs.unity.com/ugs/en-us/manual/authentication/manual/platform-signin-custom-id

[random rivet]

i see thanks

looking at the unity sdk though seems theres a lot of singletons :S

[warm badge]

They all use Singletons. But you can use the REST API if you need to

[random rivet]

oh theres a rest api?

[warm badge]

all the services have them
https://services.docs.unity.com/

[random rivet]

oh thats awesome thx!

one more question, whats the local dev experience like for ugs?

[warm badge]

there is not a way to test them locally if that's what you mean.

There is a Deployment package that is helpful in uploading config changes to the UGS services though

[random rivet]

hmm so i cannot test lobby/relay/matchmaking from the editor?i thought i should be able to upload my game server and test those locally

[warm badge]

you can test from the editor just not locally offline.

[random rivet]

think i got it

thanks

Hi all, I ask here as I read in the Unity Forum post that GameFoundation tutorials are no longer supported. I can not see the package Game Foundation in Package Manager (not even enabling Previous) in Unity v.2022. According to this Unity worker https://forum.unity.com/threads/update-on-the-status-of-game-foundation.1240801/ GameFoundation was replaced for UGS, but this is a problem as there are more than 30 UGS! Almost all are different packages to install and it is crazy to know, where each of the previous GameFoundation features is now, before they were all on one page...??? So, **how do you manage to localize and implement all these features previously located in GF and now in UGS? **Thanks!!

[warm badge]

I'm not familiar with Game Foundation. What features were you looking for?

[alpine condor]

How can I use service account in my dedicated server with Multiplay service? It looks like RemoteConfig requires authentication?

[warm badge]

Here is how you go about setting up and using a service account
https://services.docs.unity.com/docs/service-account-auth/

[alpine condor]

Thanks, these are the end point and web APIs. I am just using unity dedicated server, are there any Unity APIs?

Hi, who know how to check if Player can connect to Cloud saves?

Via try catch is it only one way?

[warm badge]

You can check if there is an Internet connection

[ebon wing]

I think I already found the answer - try catch should work fine

[spring rain]

henlo people

here I can ask for help in regards to lobbies, right?

[warm badge]

yep

[spring rain]

nice nice

well, I was able to get my lobbies created, and also the join lobbies

now I would like to be able to assign the host name and guest name

do I need to start using relay from this point?

[warm badge]

Generally, yes.

[primal shuttle]

I'm creating a vrchat world and testing animations

using Udonsharp I created a script to rotate an object

now I wanna know... is using the animator more computationally challenging for quest users than this or is this good?

I want to know what is more optimized

because if I use this method it would be just a drag and drop to apply an animation

but I have never used the animator so yee

[nova reef]

I'm currently using version 2022.3.22f1's High Def 3D Core Template and I'm trying to build my game, but it's taking 32 minutes and is most compiling shader variants. I've deleted anything I'm not using. Is there anything I can do to help decrease build time??

[orchid swift]

Just installed Git for Unity, and for some reason after selecting files to commit, the files are deselected? Can't find anything like this online. Git CLI doesn't open. Committing works if you hit the select and commit button really quickly, but I'd like not to do that. Is the best solution to just not use Git for Unity?

[worn tulip]

Hi, does game server hosting in UGS has an one hour limit till it deallocates or it can be on with no time limit?

[kind fox]

For Vivox pricing is one CCU a player currently in a channel, a player who is currently logged in, or a player who just initialized, or something else?

[warm badge]

You can set the TTL here. But I don't know what the upper limit is
https://services.docs.unity.com/multiplay-config/v1/#tag/Fleets/operation/UpdateFleet

[worn tulip]

thank you

[warm badge]

I'm pretty sure its currently logged into Vivox

[kind fox]

Alright, thanks.

[unborn warren]

If that is ALL you are doing, then the script is probably cheaper.

[warm badge]

You can do Budget Alerts. But I don't thing there are any hard stops
https://docs.unity.com/ugs/en-us/manual/overview/manual/budget-alerts

[random rivet]

isnt that very predatory to not be able to have hard stops... from the outside seems simple from them to implement??? they have all thenecessary info

do they have an open api so that we can make our own custom solution maybe then?

[warm badge]

You can just not enter any payment info. If you hit the free limit then all API access stops.
https://support.unity.com/hc/en-us/articles/6821475035412-Billing-FAQ

[random rivet]

but i need limits on the paid side😄

[warm badge]

I guess you can use Budget Alerts and the Access Control API to revoke all access when the alert fires
https://docs.unity.com/ugs/en-us/manual/overview/manual/access-control

[random rivet]

seems they dont support webhooks

or even polling on an api to check

[frank edge]

That is disturbing

Today you are rich, tomorrow a hacker group has made you poor. Seems awful

IMAGINE you forget your login password and it's costing you thousands per min

it looks like thereis a Total budget

[warped nova]

I implemented unity ads in my project and I don't understand why I can only see 8 ads (then something with "no fill" appears). what should i do?

[balmy harness]

Does monetization with ads go through unity if my game is in google play

[primal shuttle]

Yes.

I only use the script for basic animations

Meaning. Spin animation or orbital animations

So what I'm understanding is that the script is way cheaper for quest users

Also question

What takes more world size

The script or the animator

[unborn warren]

World size?

[primal shuttle]

A vrchat world size.

Im Vrchat you can upload the unity scene as a playable world using their SDK

[unborn warren]

Ah, well, I have no idea about that.

[random rivet]

thats just for alerts... it doesnt stop from spending more i think

:D:D

[pallid furnace]

lol

[frank edge]

Oh man this is not okay.

There needs to be a hard cut off limit

I mean you could change something in your game on accident and cost yourself thousands if not hundreds of thousands.

[random rivet]

yeah feels very predatory...

[frank edge]

I mean you push something wrong into release oof

It does

Maybe we need to address this with Unity directly

[random rivet]

https://forum.unity.com/threads/can-you-set-spending-caps-in-ugs.1331235/

doubt they care 😄 they said theyll look into it 2 years ago and then went MIA

@copper lynx is there any plans from unity on spending limit on UGS?

[uneven coral]

@random rivet Don't ping admins or anyone else into your questions. Read #📖┃code-of-conduct

[frank edge]

^ lol

[uneven coral]

@frank edge Is the concept of this being a community space escapes you? You should familiarize yourself with #📖┃code-of-conduct as well. If you have suggestions or support requests direct them to forums/discussions suggestions threads.

[frank edge]

Don't start acting toxic towards me.

I can login via Unity Authentitication to facebook from Android game or from Editor. But on IOS I got "invalid token" exception. Do I need to publish game first and than add the Game store ID to facebook settings to be able to login from IOS, or do something else?

[mental umbra]

Hey folks!

On the concerns over billing for cloud services:

I can’t speak officially to how we handle billing issues, but while I understand the worry that the potential for unexpected bills can cause, if there was some kind of abuse or problem that wasn’t caught or prevented by per-player / admin account rate limiting that resulted in very high usage, that is something you could talk to a client partner about (if you have one), or to support and see if there is anything they can do to help.

I know it’s the sort of thing that can make folks hesitant to use cloud services, but for what it’s worth I can’t think of any incidents of our Game Backend services (at least across Cloud Code, Cloud Save, Leaderboards, Authentication , etc) where something hasn’t been caught by guard rails and has actually ended up being a significant issue for a developer.

I think some of the things teams are working on this year will improve visibility of usage across services, especially when it comes to catching unintended behaviour. Probably the biggest practical risk developers face is something like accidentally releasing a build with some sort of cloud logic in a core game loop, but even then there are emergency breaks developer can pull (like Access Controls) until they can get a patch out. I don’t think anyone has had actually had to resort to that though.

[mental umbra]

Hmm are you using the same Facebook credentials for the Android version and the iOS version? Happy to try and replicate if you are having an issue!

I assume you have seen this already, but if not you might find the first-party Facebook documentation for their Unity SDK a little more comprehensive than our guides for them (or Apples guides!) 🙂
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/unity/getting-started/ios

[ebon wing]

Thank you for the link I followed it -looks like I setup everything correct. It is strange because when I press login from IOS app it is redirect me to facebook login screen and I got access token it looks correct (I'm not sure if it is actually correct), at least it is not empty and string looks similar to access token from meta site. But from meta site token always start from GGQV in my app doesn't.

[ebon wing]

ok just add GGQV before the token doesent works too.......

[mental umbra]

Hmm not sure what is going on there, I have a build of an Android project with Facebook SDK integration open as it happens, I'll try doing a build of that for iOS later and let you know how I get on (and if I see the anything similar)

[ebon wing]

@mental umbra I found in the internet that I can get wrong token for iOS 17 because user didn't agreed for the app tracking. I will try to add agreement to my app and test it again.

I found this answer in the internet: "These are what I discover when using version 17.0.0 SDK with iOS 17+
With AppTracking Transparency enable for your App -> receive a valid FB AccessToken
With AppTracking Transparency disable for your App -> receive an invalid FB AccessToken"

[mental umbra]

Huh, that's interesting, thanks for sharing that!

I'll see if I can replicate that behaviour, and will update our documentation to call that out (I guess that's why they are prepending the token with string of characters?)

[ebon wing]

Updated facebook SDK to 17.0.1 . And followed this guide (https://docs.unity.com/ads/en-us/manual/ATTCompliance) , pressing Next button on context menu nothing happens got the same invalid token. Maybe need to setup this permission in apple account but I don't know where it is.

[random rivet]

Thanks for the info, though i still think forcing manual actions where real money is at stake is slow and error prone. Do you know by any chance if unity has any timeline on setting automated limits? Im not able to wrap my head around how theres a real implementation for budget alerts, but its actions are limited to email and not customizeable? I would rather pay 50 bucks each month or whatever flat fee to subscribe to a system that called a webhook or directly shut the system down. Feels like unity is assuming that people trying to use ugs will have their eyes on their email 24/7 without any sleep. And im sure the protections are fine and i will most likely give ugs a shot, but the feeling will be there until unity puts some way to control this

Is there any api i can call to see my spending?

[mental umbra]

Thanks for the info, though i still

[ebon wing]

@mental umbra I changed my facebook SDK to 16.0.2 and now it is working, without adding any new permissions.

[mental umbra]

Thanks for the update! I'll note that and check out both versions on iOS on the SDK when I am back next week.

I'll update our documentation for to recommend a specific version (or different setup steps) it if we also see different behaviour; we are looking at a bit of an overhaul of the authentication documentation to make it easier to on board - I appreciate it gets confusing when you have to jump between Unity, Facebook and Apple docs, and both the SDKs and the documentation shared between them get out of sync.

[sly gorge]

Hi folks, just a quick heads-up that .NET 8 and 9 are now supported by Cloud Code C# Modules, and we've also improved the visibility of Modules in the dashboard. See the full announcement here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/cloud-code-c-updates-net-version-upgrade-and-module-details-page.1611615/

[calm flicker]

Hi,is there anyone know why unity relay service always got time out exception ?It used to be good,but recently it requires use of VPN.

[ebon wing]

About Cloud Save Query Player Data, should I do the scene inside the game that will not be including in the build to create Query for example to find player who has a custom key and increase his game money? Or there is a better way? Or maybe there is possibility to create separate project that will have access to cloud saves of "Selected game" in Cloud Save?

[warm badge]

You would use either cloud code or a dedicated server for this.

[ebon wing]

ok thanks, I will read cloud code documentation.

[barren mulch]

posted in wrong thread before

Hi I'm using unity player accounts in my game to handle authentication. I created a login feature just by following the sample package but it always redirects me to this error page. I tested the sample scene and it has the same error as well. It works fine if I build for android and play it on my phone, so I know I implemented it correctly. Just wanna know if I missed something to make it work in the editor, thanks!

[spring rain]

I don't know how to join the players in a relay session or don't even know if that is what I need
at this point, I want both players to share their names, which is stored in PlayerPrefs
and be on a relay session, from there on I know how to do

https://pastecode.io/s/bhz9eed9

this is my lobbyhandler script

I can get lobbies to work, create them and join them

however, when I join them, it's like nothing happens

I want to be able to, start sending them
[ClientRPC] and [ServerRPC] functions

[warm badge]

The lobby host will need to create a relay then add the relay join code to the lobby data so the other players in the lobby can join

[spring rain]

nice

ty

[pallid swift]

Hi guys. I have a question: Can you tell me the services where you can set up a direct connection to the server in multiplayer? Or create it yourself? Let's say I created a server in the console. The player can only click the play button in the menu and he will connect to the server, which was created in the console on my PC

P. S. Photon will not work

[warm badge]

There is not a service to do that. If you are hosting the dedicated server locally then you will need use either a Relay service or you'll need to set up port forwarding on your router

[grave agate]

or you can use Alteruna

[spring rain]

k so, now that I'll get to it, it was late

[pallid swift]

Does it work like a local host? With Radmin VPN?

[grave agate]

it should

[spring rain]

so I still need all of this, right?

but, I will also implement the

"Create relay allocation, code and such"

[warm badge]

If you are feeling experimental, you can try the new Multiplayer Services session that combines everything into one API. It will do the Lobby Relay thing with like 2 lines of code
https://docs.unity.com/ugs/en-us/manual/mps-sdk/manual

[spring rain]

👀

I'm feeling like I gotta get this done xD

it's for a commissioned game

[barren mulch]

still need help with this, would appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction

[spring rain]

that needs Unity 6 it seems

I'm using 2022.3.22f1

but looks promising

my next project I might, for this one since it's only a card game and I have done so much already I'll stay with 2022.3.22f1

[spring rain]

you could share your code

[warm badge]

I believe all of that needs to be set up from the Cloud Dashboard

[spring rain]

so pretty much

I would just add this line to the code I already have?

[warm badge]

right. and allocation.joincode is what needs to get saved to lobby data

[spring rain]

🤔

it looks like I don't need lobbies at all, do I?

it's a hearthstone game, but no matchmaking, only private matches

which you give your roomcode to someone and they join

so here

if I have the host and the guest, they can start the game

are lobbies needed here? or just using relay would do it?

~>

does this look right?

[warm badge]

lobbies are just for sharing the relay code in that case

[spring rain]

ah, so I do need it

does this look right?

I feel like, I'm missing the relay join code when starting the host

they use a "Task", I'm using a function "void"

so I can't do the

return NetworkManager.Singleton.StartHost() ? joinCode : null;```

[warm badge]

You need to create the lobby after getting the relay join code

[spring rain]

ah HHAHAHAH

dumb me

[warm badge]

Or you can all Update Lobby Data async if you need to

[spring rain]

so, they're both connected now x)

at the top right, I'm making sure they're also sharing the relay code

I gotta go now but that's some advancement

thanks a lot @warm badge I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere

😭

my friend is moe, i have added him to my organization already, iom tryna figure out how he can open it up in unity itself

[barren mulch]

Are you using unity devops?

whats that?

i see the file now

but i need to update my version

[weak folio]

in the unity cloud services, how can i archive multiple projects at once?

[spring rain]

good morning guys

I got lobbies and relay, once the game start do I delete the lobby?

let's say here, in the lobby room, I press start the game

I assume I don't need the lobby anymore

also

[LobbyRoomUIManager.cs]

is this how I shuold call a serverrpc function?

cause I got a debug error

[spring rain]

this is all I have to do to be able to start calling them [ClientRPC] and [ServerRPC] functions, right?

[spring rain]

this is my UI manager for this scene, the settings in the NetworkObject component I assume are correct

also ~
Does this also closes the relay allocation, right?

[warm badge]

If you are the host, yes

[spring rain]

cool

I assume I am

however

in my other scene, it's saying I'm not the host

(this is in another scene, different script)

I wonder, if it's because I'm switching my scene with the regular SceneManagement

[tidal saddle]

Thanks for the answers!

[spring rain]

now that I have lobbies connected and the relay allocation

if I want to switch scene

I would have to do it with a NetworkSceneManager? to go from the lobby to the actual game

[spring rain]

this is in another script and it always return false

do I need any other library? or making my lobby handler also a networkbehaviour?

LobbyHandler.cshttps://pastecode.io/s/far4sh4k

[warm badge]

is use IsHost it would need to be a NetworkBehaviour

oh i guess you could use NetworkManager.Singleton.IsHost

[spring rain]

aahh let me try that

and what about, them [ClientRpc] is never being called

I get this error

[spring rain]

but that did work, thanks a bunch

Does Cloud Save allow inheritance with different "types"?
For example I have an Item that is inherited by Weapon and Armor
If I try to save Inventory that has a list of Items that can either be Weapon or Armor, would that work?
I tried it and couldn't get it to work, but maybe I missed something

[spring rain]

ah, it gave me a different error today

I assume this is how I would spawn a network object

how should I spawn a network object? do I have to wait until all players are connected before spawning it?

[warm badge]

This should be moved to #archived-networking but only the server can spawn objects and only after the host/server has connected

Hey guys, i am using unity cloud save
and i am trying to make the player to change his name (playerName)
i want to make a function that check if there is any other player with the name he is trying to change ( CheckAvailability(string name) )

Anyone know how to query in cloud save?
I have seen that is asking me for a QueryOptions but i dont know how to use it.

[misty marlin]

new QueryOptions()

[fringe sky]

yes i have tried but it does not work

[misty marlin]

https://docs.unity.com/ugs/en-us/packages/com.unity.services.cloudsave/3.2/api/Unity.Services.CloudSave.Models.Data.Player.QueryOptions

idk anything further

[warm badge]

PlayerName is part of Authentication. Similar to discord, it will put a 4 digit number to the end of the name
https://docs.unity.com/ugs/en-us/manual/authentication/manual/player-name-management

Clients will not be able to search all player names like that. You would need to use Cloud Code for that if you really need to

[fringe sky]

Well player name was an example, i want to be able to query in my cloud service

[warm badge]

You'll need to actually set the Query Options. Player clients can only search the Public access class

[fringe sky]

Yes, but how can i set it? i have tried to do new QueryOptions() but it gives me badrequest

Hi, I have a question about the game-server-hosting service and WebGL.

I want to use WebGL as the client and use the game-server-hosting service to build a server. However, WebGL failed to connect to the server.

I guess it is because the server is using the wrong protocol but I cannot find a way to change it to websocket.
Where can I change it or are there other reasons for the connection failure?

is there any way to estimate the lobby/relay bandwitdh for UGS?

relay i can estimate from my own game, but lobby depends on unitys UGS sdk integration no? how can i know how often they call their rest apis lol

[warm badge]

Lobby events are only send when things change. So a player joining or leaving. Or lobby/player data changing.

[random rivet]

i see thanks

[cunning perch]

u cant use multiplay with webgl (you cannot have the ticket system). you can only directly connect the client using the IP and Port multiplay servers offer

so you will need to manually write the server ip and port into two strings and then do a

NetworkManager.Singleton.GetComponent<UnityTransport>().SetConnectionData(ServerIpAddress, Port);```
before starting the client

there is a multiplay API that automatically gets the Ip and port for you, which will let you not need to manually write the ip address and port. Code Monkey talks about it in a video

u will need to provide the API with the project ID in a script and some other stuff from cloud.unity.com (the multiplay section)

make sure you keep those ID's secret and never share them

you can find code monkey talking about the api here: www.youtube(.)com/watch?v=IvCVFywNXMc

[warm badge]

You can, it just needs to also go through the Relay Service.

[flint gazelle]

Thank you for your response! Now the webgl can successfully connect to the server by using the SetConnectionData().

[torn sapphire]

I followed the setup guide for Analytics, but nothing is happening.
It seemed fairly easy, I was already using other UGS services in my project, so I just had to install the Package I think?

Or do I have to set up all the events myself?

[warm badge]

There are some built-in events but it's mostly around user acquisition and retention
https://docs.unity.com/ugs/en-us/manual/analytics/manual/data-explorer-v2

[alpine condor]

I don't why, but it seems only myself in my team is able to change the remote config in UGS dashboard. All others are able to see the remote config but whenever they click edit. It goes wrong like the screenshot shows. I already added them as users and they are able to modify it from Unity Remote Config tab.

[torn sapphire]

Yeah I just wanted the built in events, it looked like player count and stuff was built in?
But nothing is showing up in the dashboard, there's like a test event in the setup, it doesn't show up
Event Browser is empty, 0 events
The default Game performance dashboard, everything is at 0
I've installed the package and my project is linked to my UGS, I use it for other services like Cloud Save, which works
I'm certain at least 2-3 people played the game, but no new users or active users are getting tracked

[torn sapphire]

A few pages down on some random irrelevant page it's mentioned you now need to call AnalyticsService.Instance.StartDataCollection();
I missed that, should really be added to the getting started page

[torn sapphire]

Now I'm only getting invalid events because: "clientVersion": "",

not mentioned anywhere in the getting started either

[cunning perch]

Can you explain further. Do you mean the relay package from lobby and relay?

[warm badge]

Yes. You can have the server start a relay with wss.
https://docs.unity.com/ugs/en-us/manual/relay/manual/relay-and-ngo#Note_about_WebGL_support

[cunning perch]

No wait... I thought u ment that there was way to have a dedicated multiplay server using relay

Relay servers in by itself has some problems. For example if one doesn't send a "heart beat" consistently, the relay servers close.

Plus one has to have a "player" as a host with relay. Which may allow some people to cheat their coin/position values using cheat engine

I do actually like relay though. Its awesome if one wants some (1-4) of their players to play quick matches with each other. But for managing player data (coin number, what skins the player has bought and so on). One needs a dedicated server with multiplay.

[warm badge]

That is what I mean. The dedicated server can be the relay host. Unity Transport takes care of sending the heartbeat to the relay service.

[random rivet]

can i login anonymous from 1 pc multiple times and be different accounts?

im trying to do some local testing, and it doesnt seem to work, i cannot join the lobby first player connects, i get 409 error

[random rivet]

also why does a dedicated server need relay?

[warm badge]

You need to change the authentication profile before signing in anonymously.

[random rivet]

how is this done

mmm im doing some local lobby and relay testing... how am i able to generate this much data in a few days

is there no rate limit or anything in these apis 😶 im just testing locally with 2 clients this is way too much data i dont understand how it can be the case

it seems i was heartbeating in the update loop without any cooldown... But it seems theres no developer protection here at all :S im not sure why theres no rate limiting on the heartbeat api... i cant think of a scenario where it should be allowed to be updated more than every 5 seconds or so...

[warm badge]

There are rate limits
https://docs.unity.com/ugs/en-us/manual/lobby/manual/rate-limits

[random rivet]

Theres no way this rate limit worked in my case, you can see the picture above showing how many times its called… i only ever tested with 2 accounts.

And i was calling heartbeat on update and never recieved any rate limit error

I think their heart beat rate limit must be bugged if its actually supposed to br there

[random rivet]

In 2 days of testing with 2 accounts, theres no way i can make 13 million requests if this rate limit was actually there

[random rivet]

upon checking further, i see that there were some errors in my code, i was missing the await statement, and my refresh cooldown was set to 0, so i was calling the heartbeat api every frame and i couldnt capture the error was because the call wasnt awaited.

but now what i dont understand is, any malicious user can spam this api the same way no? Then theyll be able to attack my services and cost me money as much as they want? Isnt rate limiting supposed to overcome this issue?

Does anybody have knowledge of unity leaderboards?

public async void GetScores()

    var scoresResponse =
        await LeaderboardsService.Instance.GetScoresAsync(LeaderboardId);
    Debug.Log(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(scoresResponse));

    var test = scoresResponse.Results;
}

How do I read name and score of the var scores Response? I know I can get Results, but that is a specified object and I dont find anything online, as noone seems to use unity leaderboards

Ah forget it, it returns an array of types and I can just call

scoresResponse.Results[0].PlayerId;

to get the playerId for example

Took me a minute

[versed hornet]

Where do I paste the code?

Do I SignInAnonymouslyAsync() and the exchange the token or smth?

ahh.. I guess this resolved my issues

AuthenticationService.Instance.UpdatePlayerNameAsync(playerName)

[idle zinc]

I have a question about IAP (in app purchase of Unity), which is about Restoring

Does anyone know if returning result (👇) is called after calling

PurchaseProcessingResult ProcessPurchase(PurchaseEventArgs e)

for all the products at the end?

Or it is called at first then it goes to call ProcessPurchase for the products?

// Call the restoration method implemented in OnInitialized
extensions.GetExtension<IAppleExtensions>().RestoreTransactions((result, error) =>
{
if (result)
{
// This does not mean anything was restored,
// merely that the restoration process succeeded.
// You might want to inform the user that the process succeeded.
Debug.Log("InAppPurchasingService: Restoration process succeeded.");

     onRestoreSuccess?.Invoke();
 }
 else
 {
     // Restoration failed. `error` contains the failure reason.
     // You might want to inform the user about the failure.
     Debug.LogWarning($"InAppPurchasingService: Restoration failed: {error}");
 }

});

[granite glade]

scoresResponse.Results is a list, like List<LeaderboardEntry> leaderboardEntries

iterate over the list and each LeaderboardEntry has the playerId

public LeaderboardEntry(string playerId, string playerName, int rank, double score, string tier = default, DateTime updatedTime = default, string metadata = null) { PlayerId = playerId; PlayerName = playerName; Rank = rank; Score = score; Tier = tier; UpdatedTime = updatedTime; Metadata = metadata; }

I dont know why events are not tracked in the dashboard, but you should definitely switch to them vs polling. That might be a thing to ask in the multiplayer dev blitz day in a few weeks.

If you want to refresh your lobby data outside of any particular event.

The getLobby API was the only choice for a long time before lobby events were implemented. You probably don't need it at all at this point.

Is there a way to link custom ID Authentication to anonymous? Currently I get token string from a wrapper and send if to Cloud Code to call https://services.docs.unity.com/player-auth/v1/#tag/Player-Authentication/operation/SignInWithCustomID but then it creates a new playerId, since in order to use cloud code authentication is needed so the steps currently are

1. get token from wrapper
2. Sign in anonymously and call token exchange/custom sign in to get AccessToken and Session Token
3. Sign out of the anonymous ID and then ProcessAuthenticationTokens to sign in with the new ID linked with custom ID.
   This works but then a new throwaway ID is created for every new player. Am I missing something?

[warm badge]

Doesn't look like there is a way to link Custom ID

[oak quest]

I'm supposed to have my own server to process Custom ID right? Or do I just call API directly from client to circumvate this. I probably won't have enought players to make throwaway a problem though..

[warm badge]

If they already need an account then you would probably just bypass logging in anonymously

[oak quest]

I'm just hooking on their log in to pass to unity as identity to use UGS

[oak quest]

Yes, I can post message to get JWT token, throw that to cloud code and validate it again with their api. I don't think I can get open ID or any other integration.

While in the editor I can unlock all the characters by watching the ads one after another but in my apk build the watch ad button doesn't work after watching one ad unless I restart the game.

Hi folks! To followup on the issue above, we had a problem with what we call the "Player Names" service yesterday, for about an hour. https://services.docs.unity.com/player-names/v1/#tag/Player-Names

This impacted everything that uses player names, like Leaderboards, Lobby, Friends, etc for a while. It's technically it's own service on dedicated infrastructure, but falls under the umbrella of Unity Authentication (and is used under the hood in the Unity Authentication SDK).

Some of the services that depend on player names were not marked as dependancies in all the right places for Service Status purposes so it wasn't flagged appropriately on the Services Status page at first.

In addition to addressing that dependancy issue for Service Status, we are going to decouple services more where possible so that they degrade gracefully instead of failing (e.g. and display old cached names for a Leaderboard instead of failing if player names cannot be resolved for any reason).

It's a top priority for us to refactor the player names service entirely this year and make it part of the Unity Authentication stack (and to consider how it works, to see if we want to improve on the functionality). There won't be any change or service interruption while this happening, but should help avoid issues like this once it's migrated over to a new stack later this year.

No issues with Player Accounts! I've seen the issue but not sure how to replicate it; if you are doing local testing of signing up in a browser you can end up in a state where the web sign in breaks and you keep getting this message.

I think you may need to clear cookies (possibly local storage) in the browser to get it working again. I think even closing the browser works (e.g. it's just a session cookie that is not persisted) but not 100% sure on that; it could also be a timing thing and whatever is triggering the bug just expires.

I suspect deleting an account and/or signing out can be a trigger for getting into this state, but 99% of operations are just signing in so almost never happens outside of testing/development. I'll log a bug and see if we can replicate it work out what the causes it; if we can't replicate it, we can still review the logic and clear out the browser state better (and/or improve the logic here that leads to this error message).

If you mean cloud code then those are not persistent connections by design. If you need a connection to stay active, you would need either a dedicated server or relay service.

When signing new users up with username/password (using Unity Auth), how do I check if the username already exists? I don't see a way to do this looking through the SDK docs. Also what is the best way to decline unwanted usernames (slurs, profanity, etc)?

[warm badge]

I believe all you can do is call SignUpWithUsernamePasswordAsync() and wait for the error.
As for filtering you would have to Cloud Code for that

I am not even sure if this is specific to Unity Analytcis, or just a general C# programming question.

If I want to Record a very simple event with just 1 string parameter (example: CharacterSelected = Timothy), is there a shorthand expression I could use instead of first creating a whole new CharacterSelected event class, instantiating it, and then passing that into the record event?

This is the way the documentation suggests -

public class MyEvent : Unity.Services.Analytics.Event
{
    public MyEvent() : base("myEvent")
    {
    }

    public string FabulousString { set { SetParameter("fabulousString", value); } }
    public int SparklingInt { set { SetParameter("sparklingInt", value); } }
    public float SpectacularFloat { set { SetParameter("spectacularFloat", value); } }
    public bool PeculiarBool { set { SetParameter("peculiarBool", value); } }
}


MyEvent myEvent = new MyEvent
{
    FabulousString = "hello there",
    SparklingInt = 1337,
    SpectacularFloat = 0.451f,
    PeculiarBool = true
};

AnalyticsService.Instance.RecordEvent(myEvent);

But feels like an overkill if I am simply passing a single string or int variable.

How do we usually handle lobby disconnection? I use lobby without relay on mobile platforms. When the host pause the application, it stops sending the heartbeat. When the app resumes, the lobby seems no longer available and no callback received. I am using the LobbyEventCallbacks for lobby messaging. Should I do a poll to fetch periodically as well?

[warped wasp]

Can somebody help me to figure out how to use authentication in cloud code to update username?

[warm badge]

If the host disconnects, then a new lobby host will be chosen. That new host will have to start sending heartbeats to keep the lobby alive. A lobby event should fire for the other players when the host leaves and a then when a new host is picked.

[warm badge]

Are you using JS scripts or C# modules? Player names is its own API separate from authentication

@warm badge I've implemented it and it's working well with email/pass now
but when I go to Unity Cloud and players' details I still have to search data using those long IDs (i.e. 2RhXDHtnTdeIWkz1Wcezw3ygN08o), is there any way that I can search users with emails? Or is there no way other than those long IDs to search for a specific user?

[warm badge]

In the dashboard that is the only way currently. You can use the Cloud Service API package to make some editor tools to make that a bit easier
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.services.apis@1.0/manual/index.html

[half current]

[mental umbra]

Hi there!

Yeah there isn't an a search or lookup function in Player Management UI (or Admin APIs) just now, but we are really keen to address that for all the different types of Authentication.

I appreciate there are also some other more obvious things missing form the Dashboard view right now too, like names / usernames / email, etc (some of which are supported in the Admin API).

We are doing some related work right now and expect to look at that over the next few months.

In related news, in response to a query here a while back - sorry I forget who asked about it - the Player Management view in the Dashboard now shows if an account is linked via Username / Password (see screenshot).

There is lots more we can do to improve this view - including searching / looking up info in it - and we are doing work to support that on the backend and to improve Unity Player Authentication, while also finding time to do smaller quality of life improvements like this.

Always very happy to take feature requests around Authentication / Player Accounts / Player Management!

[half current]

I think i'll for now use the IDs now and share the IDs in player profiles so they can track their accounts by sharing with support , that way I think I can search player data

[mental umbra]

Note: "Unity Player Accounts" web based sign in supports Email & Password (which is separate to Username & Password, but developers often frame Username & Password as Email & Password in their apps, which is fine!).

We are currently exploring the implications of exposing email addresses from Email & Password to developers (in discussion with legal to see if the terms and conditions permit that).

One pattern we see is people using is using Cloud Save to store player email addresses, because it's easier for developers to view (and can make searchable by making the field Indexed in Cloud Save - although their is no Dashboard UI for actually searching at the moment).

[mental umbra]

I'll keep folks in the loop here with regard to our plans to improve this functionality, thanks for asking about it - developers asking for features like this really helps with prioritisation.

Hi 👋

I was wondering what sort of security there is around the Player Data using Cloud Save. What does prevent a player to start saving data on their own once they have been authenticated? A malicious actor could just call

public async void SaveData()
{
    var data = new Dictionary<string, object>{{"keyName", "value"}};
    await CloudSaveService.Instance.Data.Player.SaveAsync(data);
}

and save anything to Cloud Save by hacking the game and adding a class to the source code. What can be done against it? I was looking for options to restrict the access to Cloud Save but haven't found any for the client and player data.

[warm badge]

You would use Access Controls to restrict the client from saving data on its own. Then only the server could save player data

Brilliant thanks

[stone hazel]

Should i use rpc to get the matchmaking result because it is on the server side

That is one way. You could also have ther server set a network variable. Either a list for each team on a game manager object or a team id on the player object

Is unity PlayerAccountService returning different access token even with the same login account normal? How do I meant to identify player then if the ID and access token keep changing between session?

step to reproduce.

1. Sign in with Unity Account
2. Exit play mode, then Enter play mode
3. Sign in anonymously
4. Sign out
5. Sign in with Unity account.

[chilly minnow]

Okay after some mucking around. It seems after I have logged in with PlayerAccountService, I'll need to use the access token from that result to sign in again with the AuthenticationService.

[warm badge]

The team is just a list of Player IDs which are strings.so you could either have a NetworkList<FixedString32Bytes> RedTeam on a game manager or you can have NetworkVariable<int> TeamID on each player object. Both of these would be set by the server when it gets the match properties

Unity Authentication:
When sign in anonymously. If the client clear the cached token, calling sign in anonymous will create another guest account. What happen to the old account? Won't it become stale data that taking up space unnecessary on the cloud?

I imagine this scenario could happen a lot when player download the game to try out, sign in as guest, then delete the game because they didn't like it.

Do we need to routinely manage the cleanup ourself? eg, perform clean up of guest account that have not been active for at least 3 month etc.

[warm badge]

Unless they link it with another id providers then it will become an orphan account. There are no limits to the number of accounts that can be created so you don't really need to do anything. It's just a bit messy.

6. clear Android Device Cashe
7. Load Assets and open Scene

8. upload new version to Google Play
9. load assets and open scene

Does unity multiplay (hosting service ) setup a reverse proxy infront of the server? or do i need to include it in my server build?

[warm badge]

Yea, since servers are spun up dynamically, the service handles the proxy for you.

[small pumice]

Oh, I was trying to connect to a hosted server which has wss enabled ( using mirror's simple web transport) from a local client but I am unable to connect to it. locally it is working as expected.
Any idea why this might be happening? I though the reverse proxy or SSL certificates were missing.

[warm badge]

Yea. Wss requires the certificates to be installed which you can't do from Multiplay hosting. The devs recommend using the Relay Service which has built in support for wss. So you would have your server start a Relay that the webgl client can join

[small pumice]

Ohk, does relay help me communicate with dedicated server also?
Correct me if I'm wrong but do remember seeing in docs that relay is for P2P.

[warm badge]

Yea. Relay is primarily meant for P2P but there is nothing stopping a dedicated server from also using it. This is the reply from the Unity Devs

[small pumice]

I was looking into this but I have few issues, I was using mirror network manager that required a reference of the transport that is being used and relay works with UTP or unity transport, which I am unable to reference in the network manager.
The sample project provided in the doc uses relay network manager, which seemed quite different from the mirror network manager.

[warm badge]

You mean this sample? https://docs.unity.com/ugs/en-us/manual/relay/manual/mirror

[strong hinge]

Hey!
I didnt forget you. This feature is now shipped with the latest package of the "com.unity.services.multiplayer" package (Unity 6). Best way is to create a new file, the template has "excludePaths" property included.

This package combines lobby, matchmaker and multiplay (hosting) in a single package.
Additionally, we also added "Deployment" (config-as-code) support for matchmaker, and a whole new api making it easier to work with all of the services combined. @dense cipher can give more details on the latter.

[Solved] I've been integrating unity levelplay and noticed on iOS that after a while the app continues running in the background. I guess I can always pause the game with a manual tap to continue but hoping that it wouldn't be necessary... Has anyone bumped into this?

Solution:

There is a call you can make to set this behaviour with Iron Source / Levelplay

  IronSource.Agent.SetPauseGame(true);

    /// <summary>
    /// When setting your PauseGame status to true, all your Unity 3D game activities will be paused (Except the ad callbacks).
    /// The game activity will be resumed automatically when the ad is closed.
    /// You should call the setPauseGame once in your session, before or after initializing the ironSource SDK,
    /// as it affects all ads (Rewarded Video and Interstitial ads) in the session.

Hope that is useful if someone searches this thread! 🙂

Nothing built in that I know of. They won't see it until the next time they log in. You would have to set up some kind of acknowledgement event through cloud code/save on the receiving end

ive got a service account and get forbidden status code when trying to create a server allocation through the api. i checked my project roles and i dont have any of the roles to choose from that are listed here https://docs.unity.com/ugs/en-us/manual/game-server-hosting/manual/concepts/authentication-roles

[brisk peak]

looks like its named Game Server Hosting Allocations Admin and ive got the role added but still get 403

[warm badge]

Are you using the Rest API or Cloud Code?

[brisk peak]

cloud code

well both give the same result

oh i mean im using the rest api through cloud code

tried adding all roles and still no luck

[warm badge]

Are you doing a test allocation ?

[brisk peak]

no im doing https://services.docs.unity.com/multiplay-gameserver/v1/index.html#tag/Allocations/operation/ProcessAllocation

[warm badge]

Are you adding the bearer token to the request header?

[brisk peak]

yup im getting 403 not 401

[warm badge]

Do any of the get requests work?

[brisk peak]

yea

everything is works fine

everything else*

test allocation works

but not normal allocation

[brisk peak]

any unity staff can help out with this one? seems like none of the permissions in Game Server Hosting Allocation Admin work. ive tried everything and nothing requiring multiplay.allocations.* is authorized

Game Server Hosting API Editor enables multiplay.test_allocations.* but they dont accept payloads

I am using Unity analytics to log my game settings. For the Fullscreen (boolean) value, I see data being logged as 0 or 1.

I am getting the following error while hosting the my dedicated server with WSS enabled on edgegap : https://justpaste.it/d6m9x
I am also using UGS lobby service and most probably the problem is related to authentication but i am unable to figure out what need to be fixed. I have intialized Unity server and signed in anonymously. Any help would be really appreciated 🫡 .

[brisk peak]

i figured it out. unfortunately the docs dont mention that you need to create the token with the proper scopes

[warm badge]

huh, good to know. i thought context came with the access token in cloud code

[brisk peak]

i didnt even think of that lol but according to this the service token generated in cloud code is not supported https://docs.unity.com/ugs/en-us/manual/cloud-code/manual/modules/how-to-guides/token-support#Supported_services_1

now my issue of the day is CloudCodeService.Instance.SubscribeToPlayerMessagesAsync

this is giving me a 403 and im not sure why

on client

player is signed in so idk whats happening

Hello,
I am making a game with custom player levels. Every level should have its own leaderboard. Can I create a leaderboard in the game's code using UGS?
something like https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/api/ISteamUserStats#FindOrCreateLeaderboard
If the player is submitting the score for the first time, I want the leaderboard to be created, so I do not need to go to backend to create it.

[jade timber]

I am creating a leaderboard via Web API, and I have service account with Leaderboards Admin. I also get 403 all the time. Tried multiple accounts with different keys, no success.
maybe its something on their end?

[warm badge]

You need to create the access token like uzeeyo mentioned above. I would use cloud code for this as the access token is already supplied for you there.

[brisk peak]

i just checked for you and the problem i had was scopes. make sure when you request your stateless token you include this in the body

{
"scopes": [
"live_ops.leaderboards.configurations.create"
]
}

@jade timber

i didnt test it but docs say if you dont add a scopes param you get all scopes

[jade timber]

hmm ok I'll try that

Hi all, trying to use Unity matchmaker paired with Relay and Netcode for GameObjects for local testing of my client-server project, however once the matchmaker completes and has found my Relay game, I'm given no information about how to actually join to that game, all I have is a match ID. How do I then connect to the relay server?

[warm badge]

You should be able to get the connection info from Matchmaking Results

[eternal yarrow]

Hey sorry to bother, if you get time can you clarify if the Unity Version Control solution Storage resets in real time or at the end of the month? I deleted a bunch of old repos to clear space for a new project and i noticed my storage amount is at 4.71gb out of 5. I was expected it to be at 1gb. Will it go down at the end of the month?

Judging from ur message, thats what it sounds like. I just wanna make sure its still like that. The documentation is confusing

[terse oracle]

We measure the storage based on the amount of GBs stored per hour, so it works more like "real time" but with an hour delay. Because it's measured by GB-hours the value always increases over time, but then it resets to zero at the start of each calendar month.

(E.g. if you have 1 GB stored for 2 hours that would be 2 GB-hours. Or if you had 4.7GB stored for 2 hours it would be 9.4 GB-hours)

[eternal yarrow]

Okay so if my current storage used is 4.7gb (I just deleted my old projects that took up a bunch of space today), then my storage used should go down at the end of the month?

[meager karma]

Hi all, I'm trying to use Multiplay and Matchmaker to connect my WebGL clients with a Linux server through Netcode for GameObjects, however when uploading the build to external hosts such as Itch.io I had an error that needed the transport to be encrypted, after implementing this encryption multiplay is now just sending the common server name to the clients meaning they cannot join the server (as it needs the ip of the multiplay server). Is there a way to fix this or bypass the need for the encryption?

[warm badge]

To use Multiplay with webgl, youll need to use the Relay service with "wss". You can matchmake into Relay now but I'm not entirely sure you that works when spinning up a new server is needed

[meager karma]

Right, Multiplay spinning up the new server is a pretty big one since we are trying to stick to Unity services

I guess I could upload the relay join code to the Supabase database with a match id and have the client grab that when the match is found

[lyric cobalt]

Can someone help please? I am not able to read my boolean parameter from the logs.

[warm badge]

You could use Cloud Save for this instead. Use the match id as a custom item and save the relay code under it. Normally with relay you would also start a lobby that the clients can use to search for a match.

[meager karma]

could do, but I do already have Supabase set up so it might be more convenient in this case

[severe lark]

Hi all, I'm trying to get a list of all playerIDs that have saved data via cloud save

As long as it's Public player data, that would be the easiest way. If this is for admin tools, then check out the Services API package
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.services.apis@1.1/manual/index.html

[meager karma]

I've set up relay usage within both my client and server, matchmaking just creates the server now. Issue is, client's cant connect to the server via relay, could this be because Multiplay limits the port usage? Can I set relay to use the multiplay port?

[warm badge]

No, you can't set the Relay port. But Relay does work with Multiplay so I'm not sure what that issue could be

[meager karma]

right

that's what I'm getting on the client, the Relay analytics on Unity cloud show that one session is indeed active and there's no error on the server

[meager karma]

Alright, this actually works on the WebGL build, I wonder if it's an issue with the unity editor being set to WebGL

[meager karma]

update: it works. . sometimes? sometimes it will connect and sometimes it just doesnt

[meager karma]

Anyone got any ideas how to fix this issue?

[meager karma]

I've messed with some packages, restarted the editor a couple times, refreshed the Library folder, and somehow something has fixed this error.

[terse oracle]

Hey sorry for the radio silence. I wanted to double-check with the plastic team about my assumptions.

It turns out that we do a soft delete right away, and then we will keep the data for 7 days (you can un-delete during these days in case a mistake was made) and after 7 days the system will do a hard delete and the total will update.

After the 7 days the data will be non-recoverable and fully deleted.

That is a powershell script calling the rest API. You can do something similar with cloud services apis package

Hello all, I encountered a bug which is stuck at await Lobbies.Instance.SubscribeToLobbyEventsAsync 😢

If you put it in a try catch, it should eventually throw an exception and give you a Reason

it just waits forever, not firing any errors

[warm badge]

You probably have something else going on there. If it gets called, it will eventually timeout. Make sure nothing else is getting stuck in a loop

[grave anchor]

Can someone please help me understand this error with the Unity Player Accounts Authentication? We implemented it into one game, works fine.

I'm now implementing it into a second game, and when we call the Unity login page it errors.

The line is await PlayerAccountService.Instance.StartSignInAsync();

There is no variable required, if I fill the option bool as true or false (isSigningUp), it still happens.

URL states:
error=invalid_request&error_description=The+request+is+missing+a+required+parameter+or+is+using+an+unsupported+parameter.

P.S User anon login, user cloud data and remote config are all working, and the client ID has auto filled under the Unity Player Accounts config in Services.

[warm badge]

Have you tested it with the UI sample from the authentication package?

[grave anchor]

I'll give this a whirl now

[warm badge]

If it's swapping networks during this call then the connection might getting dropped

[grave anchor]

OK, so the sample has two buttons.

The Sign in button reproduces the same error in the browser.
The portal button takes me to a sign in screen with a session ID.

I'm lost on how to debug the issue, as I have no real input on this functionality, which is enclosed within the SDK. Configurations seem correct...as other services are working.

Only other place to check would be in the Cloud Dashboard

The problem is that all subsequent times will be waiting forever.

[hushed sky]

Hello everyone,

I've been trying to understand Unity's new multiplayer (MP) system in Unity 6, but I'm a bit confused. Do I have to use Unity's hosting service, or can I set it up so that one player hosts the game on their own PC, and others connect to it remotely? I'm working on a first-person shooter (FPS) and want to get the server setup figured out before diving into development. Ideally, I'd like to enable peer-to-peer hosting since I'm on a tight budget and would rather avoid paying for server hosting. Thanks in advance for any advice!

[warm badge]

You use the Unity Hub app to install remote projects

[warm badge]

You would use either the Relay Service or Distributed Authority for this.

[glad stream]

Peer to peer isn’t the ideal idea for FPS games mainly because of exploits

Peer to peer can suit coop/horror/etc type of games

[hushed sky]

funny enuff that is the ida XD.

[hushed sky]

thanks

[hushed sky]

my i ask how one connects it?

i understand that is a bit harder of a question

[random rivet]

in UGS relay, how do i get player informaiton of connected players such as username? if the client sends that directly it can be faked right? Im hoping to retrieve it from an auth token or something

but all the auth token -> player info API's i see require a dedicated server setup with secret key, i cant have secret keys in player hosted games

oh i guess its this https://services.docs.unity.com/docs/client-auth/

but now what i dont understand is, if i share the access token with another malicious host, they can change my data by calling different apis such as https://services.docs.unity.com/player-names/v1/index.html#tag/Player-Names/operation/updateName ?

i dont get it

in steamworks theres a way to generate a token to be verified by the host peer, which uses steam api and sends the token to retrieve client info from an authorized server, there must be something similar in Unity

i think im failing to find it

[warm badge]

I usually have the player save their own name in a network variable
https://docs.unity.com/ugs/en-us/manual/authentication/manual/player-name-management

If you are using the Lobby service then you can get the name from the Lobby Player Profile
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.services.lobby@1.2/api/Unity.Services.Lobbies.Models.Player.html#Unity_Services_Lobbies_Models_Player_Profile

[random rivet]

But this means user can kind of hack it right? If im in a lobby and my host expects user named abc, everyone in that lobby can identify as abc when they join the relay server even if they are not him

[warm badge]

Most games will let you change your display name. The player id will never change, that is what you should be using to identify players

[random rivet]

But how do i get player id from the user connection?

[warm badge]

You don't. The network manager has no idea about the UGS services. You can create a dictionary on the host/server if you need to map a client id to a player id

[random rivet]

My point is that then i need to retrieve this from a client rpc call right? How can i be ensured they wont send me fake info

[random rivet]

Does anyone have any idea on this?

[warm badge]

There is not a clean way to do this at the moment. You could use Cloud Save to have the client save their client id along with some nonce given by the server. The server could then check for that player's data to verify. You could also assign a Guid to the client id from the server instead of using the player id.
https://docs-multiplayer.unity3d.com/netcode/current/advanced-topics/session-management/

[random rivet]

wow, thanks thats really cool, but also much more convoluted then i would ever imagine

[warm badge]

It's the only way to still be able to use other services besides Unity's. The only thing the network manager knows is that a client just connected. Connection Approval is there if you need further verifications.
https://docs-multiplayer.unity3d.com/netcode/current/basics/connection-approval/#security

[random rivet]

i see, yeah im using a seperate solution, just using unity UTP and relay and lobby

thank you very much for the thought out answer

[obsidian tide]

Does anyone know if there is a way to change the random player name generation? Maybe custom dictionaries, Cloud Code, etc.? Those names are really long.

You can turn the name generation off but I don't think you can alter it. I think the best you could do would be to generate you own names and use UpdatePlayerNameAsync after logging in

really dumb question.

Currently trying to query lobbies.

It works in postman but does not work in my python fastapi CRON job.

I want to query what lobbies are currently available, but it always return an empty list of [], yet there should be something in it.

Postman works as normal, but nothing is working when I run it with my python code.

# This function is a helper function that returns 100 lobbies at a time.
# reason why we return 100 lobbies at a time is because of a UGS limitation
def get_list_of_lobbies(accessToken: AccessTokenResponse, continuationToken=None) -> QueryPublicLobbiesResponse:
    conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection("lobby.services.api.unity.com")
    payload = json.dumps({
        "count": 100,
        "skip": 0,
        "sampleResults": False,
        "continuationToken": continuationToken
    })
    headers = {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Accept': 'application/json',
        'service-id': f'{os.getenv("SERVICE_ID")}',
        'Authorization': f"Bearer {accessToken.accessToken}"
    }
    conn.request("POST", "/v1/query", payload, headers)
    res = conn.getresponse()    
    data = res.read().decode("utf-8")
    json_data = json.loads(data)
    
    return QueryPublicLobbiesResponse(**json_data)

console output.

all lobby id

all lobbies []
results []
Queried all lobbies
all lobbies []

What postman looks like

"results": [
        {
            "availableSlots": 100,
            "created": "2024-11-12T01:43:01.244Z",
            "data": {
                "gameMapType": {
                    "value": "theater1",
                    "visibility": "public"
                },

Clearly it works on postman but doesn't work in my python code.

So I'm not sure if the bug is in UGS or in my code.

this is the query lobby api call I am using.

https://services.docs.unity.com/lobby/v1/index.html#tag/Lobby/operation/queryLobbies

[white hill]

sorry my code was bugged.

I fixed the bug, but I'm not sure how I fixed it, or where the bug was.

It was probably because I didn't treat the JSON as a series of dictionaries.

I can see this prefab in the Asset Manager window of my Unity 6 application. I want to use the Unity's Services Web API to manage this asset. First I use this command to get the idToken: https://player-auth.services.api.unity.com/v1/authentication/anonymous. I provide the projectid in the header of this command and it gives me the idToken, sessionid etc. Then I use this command to get download URLs of the asset: https://services.api.unity.com/assets/v1/projects/{projectId}/assets/{assetId}/versions/{assetVersion}/download-urls. I provide the projectID, assetId and assetVersion in this command and also provide header: Authentification as Bearer {idToken}. Problem is that I receive "unauthorized" as response. What am I doing wrong? I'm following all that's mentioned here: https://services.docs.unity.com/assets-manager/v1/#tag/Asset-management/operation/assets_v1_Assets_GetAssetDownloadUrlsAsyncV1. I'm sharing my code here in the attached file

How do you actually get vivox to work???
I every time i join a channel, it seemingly auto leaves right after...

It works fine in alone in a empty scene... But when i use it with other netcode / relay / network manager it seemingly just kicks me out. I have no code of my own that does this...

[worldly kettle]

Found the issue, i had the Unity Widgets installed, and it was automatically trying to do stuff resulting in it messing with vivox

[warm badge]

Yea. if you have Voice Chat enabled in the Widget Config asset, it will automatically log in and join a channel with the session name

Hey guys,
I'm having this weird issue where it wasn't there before but now it's happening.
When I try to sign in anonymously I get this error
WebRequestException: {"detail":"invalid environment name provided","details":[],"status":400,"title":"INVALID_PARAMETERS"}

I'm using Unity6 (6000.0.26f1)
Package "Multiplayer Services 1.0.2"

And I Simply run these two lines

await UnityServices.InitializeAsync();
await AuthenticationService.Instance.SignInAnonymouslyAsync();

I have two environments setup in the cloud (linked project)
(production, dev)
In unity I make sure it's linked and in the environment section I choose "dev" and that's my setup overall.
I didn't get this before but when I started testing initializing UnityServices using InitializationOptions to specify which environment
InitializationOptions unityServicesOptions = new InitializationOptions().SetEnvironment("dev");

I started to get this issue, then even if I don't use it, I keep getting this issue, I'm able to initialize the services but when running Authentication I hit this roadblock.
A bit confused, tbh, I tried removing al env and keep production, I tried adding other env, nothing worked

Would appreciate the help on this, as I feel it's either an internal bug or something small I forgot to do.

[maiden trout]

I've made a python web api in flask that lets clients send server information like name, player count, join code etc... to a "master server list" for servers they host via unity relay.
I see that the Unity documentation about server list the be about cloud hosted servers. Is there an official way to do it for player hosted servers or should I just continue with my method?

[warm badge]

You would use Unity Lobby for that. Or Sessions with the new Multiplayer Services SDK

Hello!

I'd like to use Multiplay Host, Matchmaker, and Lobby services from UGS. I find a sample project called Megacity Metro, but i find that super overwhelming, thats a complete project that makes me confused. Is there a smaller example project that uses UGS and Netcode for Entities?

Hii

hi! I just started experimenting with Cloud Code. After setting up a simple Access Control, I try to use the example script provided by this documentation:
https://docs.unity.com/ugs/en-us/manual/cloud-code/manual/modules/how-to-guides/access-control

However I can't generate binding with the deploy tool...

I attached the log, its says :
System.Exception: DotNet failed with Error Code -532462766. Details:
. StdErr: Unhandled exception. Unity.Services.CloudCodeBindingsGenerator.UnprocessableSchemaException: Unprocessable schema: {
"type": "object"
}

Anyway, before I go into details, what I already try and what are my theories, am I in the right discord room? Or there is a more specific discord somewhere for UGS?

[white hill]

I am using the Lobby Query API.

I am running a CRON job that runs the lobby API Query every 1 minute.

But sometimes it doesn't run.

This doesn't make sense, are there API rate limiting that is keeping me from doing this, is my code bad, or is the api just slow?

I'm trying to figure out what is happening exactly.

How do I make sure that the Lobby Query API runs consistently when I want to run it?

[white hill]

wait, I think I am figuring it out.

Querying Lobbies by Anonymous tokens, seem inconsistent and unreliable.

Querying Lobbies by a Service Token seem to work consistently and is more reliable.

Going to query lobbies by Service Token, and I am going to assume there is no real difference between using an anonymous token vs Service token and that Service token is just more consistent.

but the documentation does not say a word about this. Atleast the one I linked above. Is there a complete documentation about this? How people figure out how this thing works?

I'm looking for someone who is very familiar with Vivox systems that I can poke for advice. DMs preferred, mine are open. if you're willing to talk me through a couple concepts, I'd be massively grateful

[desert magnet]

Hi peeps. I have a fairly complicated (for me anyway) situation.

I'm making a mobile game which has a physical hardware component which is purchased through a website.
An account is made at this sale stage for customer support.

I would also like to build a leaderboard system. I'd like to have this be a unified leaderboard across android and iOS players.
I was originally thinking that I would grab a unique identifier (platform-specific gamecenter/googlePlayGames) and use that to identify the user in my leaderboard database.

Eventually i was going to link the player's platform specific IDs with their hardware-purchase account, to synchronise their state, unlocks etc. across their devices.

I was planning on just making my own SQL DB - but today I notice that google has leaderboard services and unity also has UGS Leaderboard services. I haven't checked what apple has yet. I notice unity also had a "social API" which is being deprecated ( replaced by UGS i guess? ) - Unity and google also have "cloud save" stuff?
So now i'm really not sure what to do.

This is all interesting but I feel id rather just run my own DB. but in the end I'm not sure. this is my first serious game.

Please share with me your experiences and advice! Thank you!

[warm badge]

You can use OpenID to log in to Unity Authentication and use the various UGS services like Leaderboard and Cloud Save.

[desert magnet]

thanks @warm badge - i think the prospect of integrating/connecting/syncing everything between a bunch of different service providers is a bit much for me. Just now i basically gave myself permission to just make a barebones login server, which i have in my sales portal, and use that instead. i'll maybe spread out in the future once the dust has settled on a simple model first 😄

[quick elk]

Does anyone have any experience with Ironsource LevelPlay Unity ?

[ebon basin]

Hey Leon,

I'm currently looking into this issue. The widget package does automatically initialize all relevant services (UnityServices, AuthenticationSerive and Vivox) so you could get started super fast.

That being said, it should not interfere with your own implementation. I tried to reproduce the issue but can't. Do you by any chance remember what your setup looked like? For example what widget you had in the scene and if there was anything custom besides the code snipped you send [here](#archived-unity-gaming-services message) ? Did you use some widget to start a session or did the above logs happen directly when entering play mode?

Would be very much appreciated if you have any additional info so we can improve the compatibility 🙂

[worldly kettle]

From the top of my head I can't think of doing anything special, and not sure anymore considering we made our own joining logic now. Can answer more in detail later.

But if i remember correctly i used the event on the host/join type widgets to load a new scene (using the network manager's scene manager). Then in the other scene i did things to enable vivox proximity chat with my own code, but it kept leaving the channel.

Noticing widget stuff in the scene as "do not destroy", we tried removing those packages, and suddenly our vivox stuff just worked.

The code we had for vivox proximity chat is mostly what the wiki sample code snipets does.

[ebon basin]

Thanks. The hint with switching scenes is already super helpful 🙂

[worldly kettle]

Used widget to start session in the main project, but the screenshot i believe is just a empty scene with just the nesesary logic (why we tried initializing things ourself?), but i might be wrong.

Hello Guys!

Now I was able to move forward with my multiplay hosting. Atleast I think i did 🙂
As you know, when we allocate servers, the created machines has ports like 9000, 9100, 9200, etc...

In here, endpoint.Port, i defined a port 7777, but obviously, it's not what my server uses, so somehow i should get what port exposed on server side, am I wront?

I use Netcode for Entities

[warm badge]

You should be getting the port from MultiplayService.Instance.ServerConfig

Hello,

I have an Andorid app in the Google Play Store.
I have noticed that I have not received any advertising revenue for about 4 days.
The following error is thrown in the app:

I have not released an update in the last few weeks and have not made any changes to the settings.
Where does this error come from?

[jovial seal]

I cannot use MultiplayService in clientside, so thats cant help me

Client side should be getting the server address and port from the Matchmaking service. Or the Multiplay Rest API

Hey, I was wondering what you think is the best approach to implement a kind of tribe/team system by using Unity Gaming Services. As far as I know there is not a kind of tribe system in UGS yet. I already implemented Authentication by CustomId, Cloud Code, Cloud Save and Leaderboards. And I wonder if I should implement the UGS Friends system. What are your approaches to Tribe/Team system with UGS in the background currently? And no I am not using Steam. Love to hear what others do. Thanks!

[warm badge]

If you mean like Guilds, you can use Cloud Save and maybe also the Friend service for that

You can make a Cloud Code module to handle invites and kicking and what not.

Analytics: I created a Custom Event and noticed that the "Unity Player ID" is missing from my events in the Event Browser. I then added it as a parameter manually, it was still empty. Then I tried setting the "unityPlayerId" field in my Custom Event code, implementing a SetParameter method. But it's still empty. How do I get this in?

[mental umbra]

Oh that reminds me, I need to follow up on us getting a sample for this out there, using Game Data / Custom ID items in Cloud Save, with Cloud Code for actions like Add Player, Remove Player, (etc) is definitely an intended approach to build a guild/clan like system - some folks are already doing that and we built a sample project but we haven't share it yet (I don't think).

[mental umbra]

Hmm that sounds like it should have worked to me, let me forward this to the team that work on the Analytics platform and see what they say (maybe there are some caveats around Custom Events...).

[obsidian tide]

Thank you! Adding the field manually leads to an invalid event with message "Incoming event contains unexpected key 'unityPlayerId' containing value" so this doesn't seem to be the right way.

[queen copper]

Hey Tom,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It does look like you have found a bug. We are running some tests to see why the unityPlayerID is visible in the EventBrowser, confirming that standard events are sending it, but not visible in the SQL Data Explorer analysis tool.

Populating the unityPlayerID on your custom events should be possible too, but you will need to

1. Add the unityPlayerID parameter to each of your custom events using the Event Manager tool
2. Populate the unityPlayerID parameter on each custom event you record, you can pull the value from the AuthenticationService.Instance.PlayerId

I suspect your 'invalid event...' error is down to 1.

[queen copper]

Further investigation shows that the unityPlayerID is working fine on Standard events
You can query in SQL Data Explorer by selecting EVENT_JSON:unityPlayerID

Adding it yourself, to custom events, also works as long as you follow both steps in my previous post.

[obsidian tide]

I did like you described before but my error was "unityPlayerId" != "unityPlayerID". Works fine now!

[obsidian tide]

@mental umbra I implemented leaderboard/player avatars like we discussed earlier btw., as base64 encoded strings on CloudSave (player public). It works great!
Only thing I'm not sure about: I have two leaderboards with 10 entries each that get fetched on every session start and after every individual run. Those requests could pile up quickly I guess.
Having the option to automatically attach public player data to leaderboard entries would be nice. Is that possible already somehow?

[mental umbra]

Ooh thanks for sharing that, I'll be sure to call it out in an update to clarify this in the documentation. I would have used "unityPlayerId" and would not have expected the ID to be uppercase either.

(We do plan to make this easier next year as we appreciate it should just work out of the box.)

[mental umbra]

Oh great! And yeah that's a great question and thanks for asking. It's not at the moment but we are looking at improving the developer experience here.

In the short term, we want to improve batch requests on Cloud Save, so you can fetch data for multiple players / from multiple Custom Items more easily and so fetch a bunch of data in a single request.

In the longer term we would like to explore being able to query multiple data sources in a single request - maybe something like GraphQL, maybe using schemas, etc - so that they feel more connected and it's easier to do queries that span data that might be stored in different places.

[eager trail]

Slightly a complicated question, but is it possible with UGS, specifically with Multiplay Hosting and Matchmaker, to setup an architecture, in which my unity server acts as a server for multiple game sessions? I've experience in setting up servers in unity like that, but for them we've always written custom matchmaking and server hosting.

So, basically, I'm asking if something like this is possible with UGS out of the box :
Players join matchmaking queue [Matchmaker], which triggers a new server to be hosted [Multiplay Hosting], and now players in lets say this particular region will continue getting connected to the same recently deployed server, until lets say 400 players [100 sessions, 4 per game session] are concurrently connected. Only then multiplay hoster, launches another server. if game sessions in this particular region get over before the server is maxed out, they continue connecting to that one.

Also, for this, matchmaker needs to generate a couple of more IDs [for arguments sake, I can call them RoomID in a particular server], which the server/and the player client need to be aware of. So, is this possible?

I am going through the docs and trying to understand them, so would much appreciate it direct keywords if its possible directly, or with some hoop jumping

[warm badge]

Generally its set up to be one game server per match. And any given physical server can host multiple game server processes. When the server density is full then Multiplay will spin up a new machine. Now, your game server might be able to hold multiple matches in it. I'm not sure how useful matchmaker will be in that scenario.

Hi 👋 I'm working on the implementation of the Access Control Policies. The best practice says I should first define a policy denying access to all and then add granularity on the services I want to allow access to.

I have defined the following

  "statements": [
    {
      "Sid": "allow-cloud-save-read-access",
      "Action": [
        "Read"
      ],
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": "Player",
      "Resource": "urn:ugs:cloud-save:*",
      "Version": "1.0.0"
    },
    {
      "Sid": "deny-all-ugs-access",
      "Action": [
        "*"
      ],
      "Effect": "Deny",
      "Principal": "Player",
      "Resource": "urn:ugs:*:/**",
      "Version": "1.0.0"
    }
  ]
}

but it's not working, I get a 403 forbidden when an authenticated player tries to get access via the SDK with CloudSaveService.Instance.Data.Player.LoadAsync()

What am I doing wrong?

[warm badge]

I think the order matters there.

[full flint]

I uploaded with the deployment tool the general one first

and then the more specific to allow read only

but when I pull them with the CLI tool it appears in that order

ill try the other way around

It's just alphabetical order I assume, I tried reuploading allow-cloud-save-read-access first and then deny-all-ugs-access the order is the same

[obsidian tide]

Semantic versioning of builds: I have a very neat build script locally, that basically takes a Git tag (e.g. "v0.5") and attaches the number of commits as patch level (e.g ".105") and writes the result into the PlayerSettings.bundleVersion - which gets rendered in the start menu of my game. But right now, I always have to make a local build and commit that version number before sending everything off to Cloud Build. Is there a good solution to automatically have semantic versioning on Cloud Build builds?

[warm steeple]

That sounds great, I would like to see an example how the intended way should be. Please keep us updated about this example, thanks!

[warm badge]

I started making a Cloud Code module for this. But I got bogged down trying to make a voting system. Then realized I would also need some kind of permission system base on guild rank or something, lol.

[warm steeple]

@warm badge Yeah, its not so easy because of permissions and which data you are allowed to read from another player account, etc. So I would really like to see how Unity will implement this. I don't want to spend time on creating my own solution currently when Unity has something like this ready which can be used as a foundation.

[warm badge]

Yea, making a CustomId with a list of Player IDs is not hard but quickly becomes impractical when you need any kind of management.

Hi, is there any way I can use ServiceToken instead of AccessToken for IGameApiClient.RemoteConfigSettings.AssignSettingsGetAsync(ctx, ctx.AccessToken,.. ?

I'm calling the C# cloud code module with trigger so there is no AccessToken in IExecutionContext

In other services like Cloud Save I can directly replace AccessToken with ServiceToken, but somehow the Remote Config is only available for Client and not Service Account.

in the link only Client Authorization: https://services.docs.unity.com/remote-config-client/v1/

There is remote-config-admin here: https://services.docs.unity.com/remote-config-admin/v1 but when I try IAdminApiClient there is no RemoteConfigSettings available.

[warm badge]

IExecutionContext has the serviceToken as well

[oak quest]

Yes, but AssignSettingsGetAsync throws a 401 when you use ServiceToken. I double checked that permissions are set up properly.

Check the web api doc I linked, usually for other services even if it is client api, they allow client or service account auth. The remote config only allows client auth.

[sly gorge]

The other endpoint on the RC client API also queries player settings but does not require authentication: https://services.docs.unity.com/remote-config-client/v1/#tag/Settings/operation/assignSettings
In the Cloud Code Apis client, the method is called "AssignSettingsAsync" (I'm confused by the name too).

I've been trying to convert the VR Multiplayer template from Relay to Dedicated Servers through Multiplay for the last 3 weeks. I noticed that Unity launched a Competitive Action Multiplayer template a week ago, which handles Dedicated Servers through Multiplay. That being said, it's looking like the process of converting this template to a VR multiplayer game with dedicated servers is probably going to take a lot of rewriting FPS code.

Does anyone know what the best way for me to make a VR multiplayer dedicated servers game is? I have a prototype on VRChat that people love, and I'm trying to get it standalone, but the code is kicking my butt.

[warm badge]

There is not a whole lot you need to actually change.
https://docs-multiplayer.unity3d.com/tools/current/porting-to-dgs/

I'm not sure if the VR Template is using the Multiplayer Services SDK. But it makes Matchmaking super easy.

But those Unity Templates tend to be hella overengineered

[upper dagger]

I couldn't understand the unity template at all, so i reorganized it into a state machine, where each step was Authentication->server readiness-> etc, and now I can't connect at all, and my entire project is broken haha. The only important code from my game is the movement code, which has nothing to do with networking, so I'm wondering if there's something I can download as a template to run a dedicated server that'll handle all the networking.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiqmoJ9XFnw&t=186s&ab_channel=DilmerValecillos

I wouldn't bother with the Templates. But you also are not going to be able to just drop in a server either.

[cunning perch]

is Unity's authentication free?

like even if it authenticates 1,000,000 players

it says it is free here

so i'm confused

firebase costs like 4,000$ a month for 1,000,000 registers/logins

so is unity's authentication actually free

i don't want to be charged thousands of dollars if it isn't and the bill comes to me in a suprise

[warm badge]

Authentication is free. The other services you use with it have a paid tier

[cunning perch]

i see.. thanks!

[grizzled gazelle]

Well i'd say for authentification, I would recommend you to use your own system, it will be much cheeper

[gaunt sun]

how would rolling their own authentification service be cheaper than a free one? that would not only cost time, but then they'd have to host it somewhere which won't be free, they'd have to ensure it is secure so people's data isn't being leaked which is even more time/potential cost

[grizzled gazelle]

It's like about 12h of work, it's done and done in web dev, you host it on a VPS, it's juste a postgres db with id,username and hashed password and a couple more data so not a big deal

You could make a wait queue when you have a load of users but it won't be your first issue, if you have a 1'000'000 users a month, the authentication won't be your faulty pipe

[warm badge]

Not having to worry about the security of people's passwords makes a hosted service worthwhile in any case.

[grizzled gazelle]

4000$ a month is high af
