Two devs spent almost all of today's work trying to figure why our dedicated server builds on #PlayFab kept ending up in "Unhealthy" state.

We relatively quickly saw that "Propping Failed", but had a hard time diagnosing why...

Attempts to recreate the issue locally all failed (as in: the server was running just fine).

Finally a coworker managed to connect to the VM between the error message and the VM going down.

It turned out that simply the virtual machine's storage was full.

The #PlayFab documentation for DeleteInventoryCollection states "is an asynchronous operation and may take longer".

I was expecting it to take a couple of seconds therefore.

It takes hours.

If you need updated #PlayFab cloud script bindings for #TypeScript, and are wondering where the files in https://github.com/PlayFab/SdkTestingCloudScript are coming from:

They are generated using https://github.com/PlayFab/SDKGenerator from the specifications in https://github.com/PlayFab/API_Specs

We just used this tool to generate bindings for the Economy v2 API. (Those also need the "beta" flag enabled.)

I was shocked when I saw that the #PlayFab #UnrealEngine plugin uses a TSharedPtr<UPlayFabAuthenticationContext>, where the UPlayFabAuthenticationContext is a UObject.

I always thought this to be impossible.

They use this #Hack to make it work:
- First create a TSharedRef<TStrongObjectPtr<UObject>>.
- Then use the aliasing constructor
TSharedPtr(TSharedPtr<OtherType>, ObjectType*) to create a new shared pointer using the Shared Reference as first, and the UObject as second parameter.

If you're a developer using #PlayFab, today is a good day! The team has announced a public preview of the new Entity Stats and Leaderboards features:

🔹Independent Stats and Leaderboards
🔹Multidimensional stats, storable on any Entity
🔹Annotatable with custom metadata
🔹And more!

If you make videogames in the US, it would be very helpful to my team if you sign up to be an Xbox Research participant #GameDev #Xbox #PlayFab https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/games/resources/xbox-research/

Made great progress in my mobile #Unity game with notifications and deep linking thanks to being able to use the Mac. Unfortunately now I’ve hit a #PlayFab bug rendering most of my progress useless. #GameDev is fun

I am proud to announce godot-playfab 1.0!

godot-playfab is an addon for the Godot Engine, bringing #Azure #PlayFab, a backend-as-a-service platform - to game developers using Godot's own scripting language, #GDScript.

It is now ready for production and the first major game - #DomeKeeper, by #Bippinbits , has proven this. Thank you for your trust!

It was a lot of fun to do a #playtest with my friends on my #godotengine multiplayer game!
The server was hosted on #playfab and we've done a lot of 5v5 matches!

That sniper shot at the end is really satisfying to watch!

It is really fun to use #playfab metrics to see what happens on your gaming server in real time!

I can see all the memory usage, the network usage, everything!

It is really instructive! 😊
