Highlights

• Major improvement: Entity Payload Compression reduces the amount of database storage required by a factor of 3-5x for the compressed entities. This will directly reduce costs associated with storage from reduced database network usage, storage, and backup sizes.
• Major improvement: Config Build Error Reporting now properly tracks the source spreadsheet cell of the error, including direct links to Google Sheets, to more easily find the source of the error.
• Major improvement: Durable Credential Storage on Android and iOS prevents account loss even if the player deletes the game and then reinstalls it, reducing burden on customer support.
• Major improvement: Experiment Config In-Memory Deduplication significantly reduces memory consumption on the server when many experiments are active, enabling the LiveOps teams to run more simultaneous experiments.
• Major improvement: Experiment Variants Definitions can now be located anywhere in the same sheet. You can do this by filling in the columns that make up the ConfigKey (usually the Id column) of the GameConfigData class.

Breaking Changes

• This release requires a synchronized upgrade of the client and the server due to backward-incompatible changes in the networking protocol.
  • Action required: Bump your game's MetaplayCoreOptions.supportedLogicVersions to force a synchronized update of your game client and server.
• Game config libraries that use a value typed (e.g. structs or integers) ConfigKey need to be updated to use the new way to define experiment variants by ConfigKey (see Major improvement: Experiment variants definitions).

  • Action required: For any variant definition rows with empty identity cells (anything affecting ConfigKey), fill in the values of the cells from the item being modified.

    For example:

    

    Would be replaced by:

Note: If you have a service contract signed with Metaplay, the breaking changes outside the list above have been fixed already in the SDK upgrade pull request of your project. Otherwise, please see CHANGELOG.md for a full list of changes, along with the HelloWorld and Idler samples for references on how to apply the changes.

Version Compatibility

INFO

Note: As of this release, we are also beginning to publish infrastructure artifacts via a new Github organization named metaplay-shared. Particularly for consumption of Terraform modules, please consider migrating to consume the modules via the metaplay-shared/infra-modules repo. Access can be requested from Metaplay via regular support channels.

We recommend upgrading to the latest versions of the infrastructure and game server Helm chart:

• For infrastructure, terraform module infra-modules v0.2.9.
  • Action recommended: Upgrade your self-hosted infrastructure to use the latest version.
• For deployments, Helm chart metaplay-gameserver v0.4.7.
  • Action recommended: Upgrade your deployments (in Helm values or CI job parameters) to use the latest version.

The minimum required versions are infra-modules v0.2.2 and metaplay-gameserver v0.4.4.

Notable LiveOps Dashboard Changes

• More legible font: The dashboard now has new fonts for improved legibility, especially on text fields with ambiguous characters. Overall typography has been tweaked to accommodate the new font.
  • 
• More detailed login history: The "Latest Logins" card on the player details page now has more information about each login, such as the client version and authentication method.
  • 
• Better time picker: The date picker component has been updated to have an in-line time selection.
  • 
• Duration picker for broadcasts: The broadcast form now has a new duration picker that allows for both duration and exact date inputs.
  • 
• Copy stack trace to clipboard: The incident reports stack trace section has a new copy-to-clipboard button. You can now easily pass along key debugging information to the game development team.
• More responsive UI: We've identified a few inefficient UI components and built more performant versions of them. You should see noticeably snappier performance on the more complex pages.
• Developer player view: Added a new "Developers" page to the sidebar that lists all developer players.
• Leagues UX revamp: Full UI/UX review of the league system dashboard pages and their admin actions to make them more informative and faster to use.
• Easier model debugging: The player details error page now allows exporting the player model for debugging in the entity archive format even when the model can't be serialized or migrated to the latest schema version.
• Improved readability: MetaRawData now shows size of objects and arrays in a concise way.

Notable Under-the-Hood Changes

• Durable client-side credentials: Durable credential storage on Android and iOS, implemented using device-local Keychain (iOS) and local Blockstore (Android with Google Mobile Services).
• Tooling against starvation attacks: Introduced a new [MaxCollectionSize(maxSize)] attribute to limit the number of elements in [MetaMember] collections when (de)serializing. You can use this to prevent resource starvation attacks by setting limits to collections for client-originated messages and actions.
• Tailwind CSS added: LiveOps Dashboard now supports Tailwind CSS in addition to Bootstrap. Use the tw- prefix for Tailwind CSS classes.
• Storybook tests added: Added Storybook for developing and testing dashboard components in the Core, MetaUi and MetaUiNext packages.
• MetaInputSelect improvements: Improved the layout, styling and typing of the MetaInputSelect wrapper component to ensure consistent behavior in all the dependent components.
• Migrated to Composition API: We have completed the migration of our core dashboard components from the Options API to the Composition API. Note: compatibility mode is still enabled and you can continue to use the Options API syntax in your custom components however, this will most likely be deprecated in the future.
• Unified error reporting: Added MetaApiErrorAlert component to improve error handling across all our core views and components.
• Game config error reporting: The config build pipeline now keeps track of the row and column that a certain IGameConfigData value originated from. In most cases, this will work out of the box. However, large customization might require you to manually pass that information along. Take a look at GameConfigBuild.cs for more information.
• Game config error reporting: IGameConfig.BuildTimeValidate() now lets you report validation errors from game config builds. Context is automatically added to the result to help the user understand the source of the results.
• Game config improvement: Game config libraries are no longer limited in size (was 16384 elements previously).
• Game config improvement: You can now define variant rows anywhere on the sheet by specifying the config key for the variant. The build pipeline will automatically find the matching row and fill in the missing values.
• Game config improvement: The game config build performance has been improved with multiple optimizations in the pipeline.
• Game config improvement: Added a new IgnoreCollectionElementValue option to SpreadsheetParseOptions, this allows you to remove collection elements when defining a variant for a ConfigItem containing a collection.
• Robust WebSocket connections: Fixed a number of issues in the WebSocket game server connection implementation, including proper connection termination error reporting and fixing spurious incident reports generated from abrupt connection closures.
• Analytics sink customization: Adding custom implementations of analytics sinks in the integration can now be done via the new AnalyticsDispatcherSinkFactory integration API. See Implementing a Custom Sink.
• Unity 2022 LTS for samples: All sample projects have been upgraded to Unity 2022.3.7f1 LTS.

Notable Documentation Changes

• Game configs in Wordle: The Wordle guides in the Wordle Tutorial section have been updated to present concepts in a more focused order. Namely, the mentions of game configs were removed from Tutorial: Game Logic, and the configs source was changed from Google Sheets to CSV in Tutorial: Game Configs. The information on how to integrate Google Sheets to your configs pipeline is still available and can be found in Google Sheets Integration.

• Customizing frontend update: The code in Customizing the LiveOps Dashboard Frontend has been updated to reflect the most recent API changes.

Change Log

Breaking

• All IBlobStorage.PutAsync methods now throw on failure rather than returning false.
  • Action Required: All usages of PutAsync should handle the potential exception by catching rather than checking the return value.
  • Action Required: All ignores such as _ = await Foo.PutAsync(..) should be turned into try { await Foo.PutAsync(..) } catch {}.
• The deprecated logging to file (LoggingOptions:FileLogPath and friends) has been removed.
  • Action Required: If you are using the feature, you need to migrate to use the primary logging channel.
• The entities persisted in the database are now compressed by default.
  • Action Recommended: If you have your own custom entity types, we recommend using the SerializeToPersistedPayload() and DeserializePersistedPayload() for serializing the entity payloads for database. This enables the compression for the custom entities as well. Note that SerializeToPersistedPayload() calls ValidatePersistedState() automatically so any explicit calls can be removed.
• Server: DatabaseScanJobManager OnJob* methods are now async
  • Action Required: Update method definitions to async syntax.
  • Action Required: return Task.CompletedTask where necessary.
• Client credential management is now async and CredentialsStore.TryGetCredentials has been removed.
  • Action Required: If you are using TryGetCredentials to synchronously get the current PlayerId, you should use MetaplaySDK.PlayerId instead.
• ExecuteInBackground has been removed and replaced with ContinueTaskOnActorContext.
  • Action Required: If you have ExecuteInBackground(() => Task.Run(...)), you should replace it with ContinueTaskOnActorContext(Task.Run(...)). This executes the task on thread pool.
  • Action Required: If you have ExecuteInBackground(() => DoSomethingAsync(...)), you should replace it with ContinueTaskOnActorContext(DoSomethingAsync(...)). This executes the task on actor background.
• Dashboard: MetaInputSelect has been refactored to support generics. This makes it easier to use and type-safe.
  • Action Required: If you are using MetaInputSelect, update all callsites to include a type hint for the value and options props. This may also reveal some bugs in your code that were previously hidden by the lack of type safety.
• Dashboard: ESLint configs updated to the latest standard TS Vue versions used by the community.
  • Action Required: You may see new errors in your code that were previously not raised by the old ESLint config. Please review and address them as needed.
• Dashboard: Simplified the ui placements integration api to use a union type instead of enum for the placements. This makes all the call sites easier to read and use.
  • Action Required: Update your calls to addUiPlacement to use a plain string instead of the enum. TypeScript will guarantee that the string is one of the valid placements.
• Removed the deprecated AuthenticationType.Auth0.
  • Action Required: Replace all usage of AuthenticationType.Auth0 with the more general AuthenticationType.JWT.
• Util.SanitizeString has been removed.
  • Action Required: Replace all calls to SanitizeString with a custom sanitization approach that is suitable for the particular type of sensitive data. Mapping all strings to "xxx" is recommended.
• MetaInputDateTime has been removed in favour of MInputDateTime from the MetaUiNext package.
  • Action Required: Replace all usages of MetaInputDateTime with MInputDateTime.
• Game configs have been refactored to allow in-memory instances of config items to be shared across multiple experiment specializations of a config. This changes some interfaces and introduces restrictions to how config objects can be mutated.
  • Action Required: It is now forbidden in many circumstances to mutate config library items in SharedGameConfig.OnLoaded() (and same in ServerGameConfig). This is because a config item might be shared with other SharedGameConfig instances which are different experiment specializations of the same config. A config should not be allowed to mutate items used by another config.
    • There is a debug check which runs at config build time and produces an error if OnLoaded was detected to modify the contents of another SharedGameConfig. Note that the debug check is best-effort and can only detect misbehavior that is actually triggered by the existing config contents.
    • OnLoaded is often used to compute derived data from the config and augment the runtime config item instances with said data, such that the derived data can be more efficently or conveniently used at runtime.
    • Going forward, the recommended way is to store the derived data outside the config items, such as in separate lookups (which aren't shared across SharedGameConfig instances) stored at the top-level of SharedGameConfig. This refactoring may involve passing around the SharedGameConfig instance in game code, where previously just an individual config item instance was sufficient.
    • Note that the IGameConfigPostLoad mechanism is still supported and is allowed to mutate the config item. It can be used for computing (and assigning into the config item) derived data which depends only on the config item and items that are reachable via from it via MetaRefs.
  • Action Required: If you override the Import(GameConfigImporter) method in SharedGameConfig (or ServerGameConfig), update the method name to PopulateConfigEntries.
  • Action Required: If you use GameConfigFactory.Instance.ImportSharedGameConfig(PatchedConfigArchive.WithNoPatches(archive)) (or ImportServerGameConfig) for loading a game config from an archive, change that to GameConfigUtil.ImportSharedConfig(archive) (or ImportServerConfig). The GameConfigFactory API has been changed and PatchedConfigArchive has been removed.
  • Action Required: If you use the GameConfigLibrary.Infos property to access the library as a IReadOnlyDictionary or to loop through its key-value entries, remove the .Infos property access and instead use the library object directly. The Infos property has been removed and GameConfigLibrary itself now implements IReadOnlyDictionary.
  • Action Required: If you refer by name to the concrete type of the GameConfigLibrary.Values property, you must now use GameConfigLibrary.ValuesEnumerable instead of OrderedDictionary.ValueCollection. Similarly, for GameConfigLibrary.Keys, use GameConfigLibrary.KeysEnumerable instead of OrderedDictionary.KeyCollection.
• Added API to collect messages during config build.
  • Action Required: GameConfig.BuildTimeValidate now takes a GameConfigValidationResult parameter.
  • Action Required: IGameConfigBuilder.Assign* methods now optionally requires a GameConfigBuildDebugInfo parameter, this should be set to provide debug information to the config validation reporting system.
  • Action Required: IGameConfigSourceItem classes now need to define a TGameConfigKey generic parameter that is the same as the ConfigKey type of IGameConfigData.
• Game config variant overrides no longer supports merging column and row overrides into a single row.
  • Action Required: Game Config libraries that use value types as config keys need to be updated to use the new patch by Id feature.
  • This means that you have to fill in the columns used to create the config key for the variant rows in the offending sheets.
• PlayerSessionParamsBase now takes SessionProtocol.ISessionStartRequestGamePayload in its constructor.
  • Action Required: If params class is modified, pass in the payload in GameCreatePlayerSessionParams from sessionStart.Meta.SessionGamePayload.
• Metaplay.Core.Message.SessionProtocol.ISessionStartRequestGamePayload is now Metaplay.Core.Message.ISessionStartRequestGamePayload.
  • Action Required: Remove SessionProtocol. prefix from all usages.
• The league system no longer exposes player ids to the client. The new identifier for a participant is ParticipantIndex.
  • Action Required: Change any equality checks of a participant with the current player by comparing the ParticipantIndex to the value returned by DivisionClientContext.GetParticipantIndex() or the IDivisionClientState.CurrentDivisionParticipantIdx in the player model.
• MultiplayerEntityClientContext constructor now takes in a MetaplayClientStore parameter.
  • Action Required Change any usages of MultiplayerEntityClientContext to include the client store parameter.

Added

• SDK: In entity event logs, event deserialization failures now display the type of the event that failed to deserialize.
• SDK: Added MaxCollectionSizeAttribute to allow changing the maximum collection for struct/class members (by default, the maximum size is 16384).
• Server: Entity payloads are now compressed when persisting into database. The Zstandard compression is used by default. Alternatively, LZ4 can be used or compression disabled.
• Server: Added HTTP API endpoint to get all players marked as developers.
• Server: Added GET gameConfig/{configId}/count endpoint that returns a list of libraries and top level items.
• Server: Added POST gameConfig/{configId}/details endpoint that returns config library contents for the given libraries and experiments.
• Server: Added POST gameConfig/diff/{baselineConfigId}/{newConfigId} endpoint that returns the diff between the given configIds and libraries.
• Server: WebGL and UnityEditor platforms can now be included or excluded when maintenance mode is set.
• Server: Separated session resume and failure counts to their own metrics timeseries (game_session_resumes_total and game_session_resume_fails_total). Resumes are no longer counted in game_player_logins_total and game_player_login_fails_total.
• Server: Added SessionProtocol.ISessionStartRequestGamePayload into PlayerSessionParamsBase.
• Server: Added a new Server model concept to divisions, which allows storing server-only data and running hidden logic on the server.
• Dockerfile: Introduce entrypoint.sh which provides a cleaner API for invoking the gameserver or the botclient from the image.
• Dockerfile: The nuget packages are now properly cached between the build steps. In local builds, they are also cached between builds via docker cache mounts.
• Dashboard: Added support for Tailwind CSS and a custom plugin to easily manage the configuration to prevent it from colliding with Bootstrap. Use the tw- prefix for all Tailwind CSS classes.
• Dashboard: Added Storybook for developing and testing dashboard components in the Core, MetaUi and MetaUiNext packages.
• Dashboard: Added more information to the "Latest Logins" card in the player details page.
• Dashboard: Added a new copy-to-clipboard button to the stack trace section of the incident reports.
• Dashboard: Extracted timeout promise function to a global helper function called sleep.
• Dashboard: Added more consistent API error handling to most dashboard pages via a new metaApiError prop in the MetaPageContainer component.
• Dashboard: Incident reports now contain client's Git commit id.
• Dashboard: Incident reports now show a warning when the deletion date is in less than 3 days.
• Dashboard: Player details error page now allows exporting the player model for debugging when serialization or migrations of the model fail.

Changed

• Server: Added combination data to the experiments endpoint.
• Server: Upgraded Akka.NET to v1.5.7, Parquet.Net to v4.12.0.
• Server: Option AppleStore:AcceptSandboxPurchases is now true by default, making all environments accept valid Apple sandbox purchases. This is the behavior recommended by Apple, and is required for Apple's reviewers to be able to test IAPs in production environments.
• SDK: The integration-tests.py has been rewritten and is now simpler and more robust.
• SDK: HTTP server authentication domains now register their own 404 (NotFound) handlers so that the 404 handlers set correct CORS headers.
• SDK: PrettyPrint in Compact mode is more compact for lists by omitting array indices.
• SDK: All server-side projects now use the latest supported C# version instead (i.e., <LangVersion>Latest</LangVersion>).
• SDK: Incident reports are now retained up to 14 days in production and staging environments and 30 days in other environments.
• SDK: Added cell information to config build error reporting.
• SDK: Upgrade to IronCompress which fixes the LZ4 compression level handling. Use sensible compression level with each IronCompress algorithm.
• SDK: Nullable structs in ConfigEntries are now null if the cell is empty.
• SDK: PrettyPrint in Compact mode is more compact for lists by omitting array indices.
• SDK: Game config libraries have been rewritten to use a "deduplicating" implementation in which items' in-memory instances may be shared across multiple config specializations. The purpose is to reduce server memory usage when many experiments are active at the same time. However, this may also have other effects on the performance of game config usage, such as more costly config access operations. We strongly recommend keeping an eye on performance metrics and testing the changes in a testing environment before production.
• SDK: Admin API permissions: by default, customer support roles now have permission to view experiments and player incidents.
• Dashboard: Changed the Metaplay logo and icons to the new branding.
• Dashboard: Audit log details page now has a nicer display for game-specific log data.
• Dashboard: Migrated final core dashboard components to the composition API:
  • PlayerLoginHistoryCard

• Dashboard: Maintenance mode date time picker now defaults to one hour from the current time.
• Dashboard: Broadcast form now has a smarter duration picker that allows for more human-friendly inputs in both duration and exact time.
• Dashboard: New components in the MetaUiNext package:
  • MInputDateTime - a date and time picker that improves on and replaces MetaInputDateTime.
  • MInputText - a general purpose form input for all text.
  • MInputNumber - a form input for numbers.
  • MInputSwitch - a checkbox that looks like a switch.
  • MInputSegmentedSwitch - a radio button that looks like a switch.
  • MInputDuration - an opinionated input for Luxon durations.
  • MInputDurationOrEndDateTime - a combo picker for both exact date time or duration inputs but always outputs a duration.
  • MInputStartDateTimeAndDuration - a combo picker for both exact date time or duration inputs but always outputs a start date time and a duration. Replaces MetaInputDateTimeRange.
  • MCollapse - an opinionated and performant component for making collapsible sections.

• Dashboard: ESLint configs updated to the latest standard TS Vue versions used by the community.
• Dashboard: Added a new sentence-case format option to the MetaDuration and MetaTime components.
• Dashboard: Player entities with no active session are no longer added to the recently active players list.
• Dashboard: Changed the font stack to use the default UI system font families for faster loading and better legibility across platforms. This also reduced the need for monospace fonts in most cases and they have been converted to sans-serif.
• Dashboard: Removed automatic uppercasing of headers to make technical labels, such as player IDs, more legible.
• Dashboard: Reduced the use of purple color across the whole UI for a more uniform and calm look.
• Dashboard: Added warnings in experiment details page and confirmation popup if the amount of combinations exceeds a threshold.
• Dashboard: Added a new MCollapse component that has significantly better performance under complex conditions than the BCollapse component. Migrated most of the existing use-cases to use the new component.
• Dashboard: Simplified the ui placements integration api to use a union type intead of enum for the placements. This makes all the call sites easier to read and use.
• Dockerfile: BotClient images no longer include StreamingAssets/ folder, which was used to bake initial game configs into the image. BotClients now fetch the game config from CDN on use.
• Dockerfile: Install Cypress dependencies earlier in the Dockerfile to avoid code changes from invalidating the caching of the steps.
• Dockerfile: Add caching of PNPM store and Cypress installation for speeding up running of integration tests. Drop the build stage test-dashboard in favor of build-dashboard.
• Dashboard: Advance leagues dashboard from MVP to production quality:
  • Improved the overall look and feel and user flow of the league, season and division views.

• Samples: All samples have been upgraded to Unity 2022.3.7f1 (the latest LTS).
• Idler sample: Switch to using Unity logging directly instead of the legacy ClientLog.

Fixed

• SDK: PrettyPrint for IEnumerables now produces sensible results and now longer produces recursion warnings.
• SDK: Fix a case where non-compiling serializer code was generated for certain patterns involving MetaRefs and "plain" (non-MetaRef) config references.
• SDK: Fix API returning wrong HTTP response code when trying to access endpoint when user doesn't have permission. Now returning 403 as intended.
• SDK: Fixed WebSocket close sequence to allow all preceding packets to be sent out before socket is closed. This fixes communicating connection error codes to client.
• SDK: Fixed unobserved exceptions being thrown when a network diagnostics report is cancelled due to timing out.
• SDK: Fix a memory leak in the WebApiBridge on the client: the buffer for the return value of a synchronous JavaScript->C# call was not released.
• SDK: Fix issues in websocket code causing connections to be abruptly terminated and incident reports generated.
• Server: Fixed push notification jobs running when push notifications are disabled (this can happen when restoring backups to the dev environment, or when scheduling notifications and subsequently disabling push notifications).
• Server: Running notification campaigns are now cancelled if the server is started with push notifications disabled.
• Server: Admin API game config JSON serialization now includes the values of player segment property requirements. This fixes game config diff display sometimes erroneously not finding differences.
• Server: The HTTP 404 handler for non-existent endpoints now reports errors properly as 404 instead of CORS errors for authentication domains where CORS is enabled.
• Dockerfile: Server runtime image no longer contains dummy sqlite files. These were unintentionally generated as a part of the serializer code generation.
• Dockerfile: Fix the Cypress installation to not happen when not building for tests.
• Dashboard: Fixed game config diff select boxes having an unexpectedly small click area.
• Dashboard: Fixed MetaListCard not showing a missing permissions message when the user doesn't have permission to view the list.
• Dashboard: Resolved the error on the guild search form. You no longer need to select a search type as it is automatically handled by the generated form system.
• Unity: Fixed Model Inspector's handling of recursive object references.
• Unity: Fixed Model Inspector's handling of HashSet<T>.
• Unity: Fixed Model Inspector's handling of fixed point vector types (F32Vec2, F32Vec3, F64Vec2, F64Vec3).
• Unity: Fixed Model Inspector sometimes not updating children of an object (when the value changed to null).
• WebGL: Fix app hang if application tried to Close the connection while flushing any pending messages.

Release 24.1 (2023-08-30)

Changed

• Installer: The installer now uses a pre-generated template for importing files into the target project instead of requiring the HelloWorld sample to be present.

Fixed

• Installer: The backend solution file generated now has correct paths to MetaplaySDK projects.

Release 24.2 (2023-09-14)

Fixed

• Dashboard: The "upload from file" functionality in the player overwrite form has been fixed. R24 introduced a regression where the overwrite would fail when the data had been input via the file upload instead of pasting into the text box.
• Dashboard: Fixed searching in MetaInputSelect components. R24 introduced a regression where searching would sometimes not work.

Release 24.3 (2023-09-20)

Changed

• Samples: Disabled push notifications and geolocation features from Idler sample to remove dependencies on external services.

Release 24.4 (2023-10-11)

Fixed

• SDK: Fixed crash in Android client builds on Android 6. The SDK code was using an API added in API level 24 which is only available in Android 7 and above.
• Dashboard: Fixed the broadcast start date picker. It did not react to user input and always remained at the current date.
