Highlights​

  • Introduced the Inventory Service. The Inventory service is designed to allow players to store and manage items that they've collected throughout the game through looting, crafting, trading, gifting, etc. Designed with flexibility in mind, the Inventory Service will soon integrate with AGS E-commerce, enabling seamless item purchases and using the store catalog as the main source for item metadata.

Quality of life changes​

  • Improved the Cloud Save search functionality in the AGS Admin Portal.
    • Game admins can now search the specific key of the Player record to go to the record, instead of finding the record through pages.
    • To streamline and improve the efficiency of the Cloud Save management process, the search functionality now includes tag filtering.
  • Records of linked accounts in the Linked Accounts tab are now grouped by their platforms. The tab can be accessed on the Users details page in the User Management menu.
    • For example, if a user has an account linked through Steam Web and Steam SDK methods, they will show up as one group record with a platform name of "Steam", rather than two individual records. Group records are collapsible; when expanded, the individual records are shown.

  • [UE] Improved the Login Queue feature by introducing a suggested polling time in both the login response (i.e., 204: user in queue) and the update ticket response. This adjusts the polling time without requiring an SDK update if there are unexpected issues.
  • [UE] Refactored the saving to file mechanism on Binary File Storage.
  • [UE] Implemented concurrent IO operation when caching Telemetry Events.
  • [UE][OSS] Exposed the Admin Endpoint for getUserEntitlementHistories.
