Highlights​

Login Queue for Shared Cloud​

We have added the Login Queue service to the Shared Cloud environment to help manage peak traffic more effectively. This ensures a smooth, controlled flow of player logins and maintains the stability of our infrastructure and services.

  • Where to find it in the Admin Portal
    • Go to Admin Portal → Select game namespace → Live Service Utilities → Login Queue
  • How to access/use it from SDK
    • The SDK functions will be updated soon.
  • How to access using REST API:
    • Get login queue configuration of a namespace:GET /login-queue/v1/admin/namespaces/{namespace}/config
    • Update login queue configuration of a namespace:PUT /login-queue/v1/admin/namespaces/{namespace}/config
    • Get login queue status of a namespace:GET /login-queue/v1/admin/namespaces/{namespace}/status
    • Refresh login queue ticket: GET /login-queue/v1/namespaces/{namespace}/ticket
    • Cancel login queue ticket: DELETE /login-queue/v1/namespaces/{namespace}/ticket

GDPR Compliance for the Banned Players​

We have added the ability for banned players to download their personal data directly via email, without needing to log in. Previously, a token was required for data access, which prevented banned players from retrieving their data—resulting in non-compliance with the GDPR Compliance.

  • Where to find it in the Admin Portal
    • No Admin Portal functionality
  • How to access/use it from SDK
    • No SDK functionality
  • How to access using REST API:
    • Request to download user data using* *POST /gdpr/public/namespaces/{namespace}/users/{userId}/requests with the namespace and the userID of the requested user.

DLC config versioning to support DLC re-sync​

We are improving how downloadable content (DLC) is delivered by introducing a versioned DLC system. Previously, players sometimes received incomplete or duplicate items, especially when DLC bundles were updated or had items removed. These issues happened because our system couldn't properly track the changes to DLC content over time. With the new versioned system, you will always receive the correct items based on the most current DLC version—ensuring a more consistent and reliable experience.

  • How to access/use it from the Admin Portal
    • View DLC configuration history
      • Go to your game namespace.
      • On the Admin Portal sidebar, select Commerce > In-App Purchase > DLC Settings.
      • Navigate to the specific DLC configuration you'd like to view the history for, hover over the More icon under the Action column, and select Version History.
      • You will be redirected to the Version History page, where you can view a list of all configuration versions, along with their timestamps and changes.
      • To see more details about a specific version, click Detail next to the version you want to inspect.
      • A popup modal will be displayed, showing the full configuration details for that version.
    • Compare DLC configuration changes
      • In the Version History page, click the Compare Version button.
      • Select two versions you want to compare.
      • Click Show Comparison to proceed.
      • The comparison between the selected versions will then be displayed.
