DR88 – Mới: API Steam để chuyển đổi phiên bản trò chơi & nhánh beta :: Steamworks Development

Nguyên văn bởi Kafumanto :About the “Use Case: Preserving game saves”, does it means that for each game version we should keep a separated, dedicated branch? No, that would likely be an overkill. You might consider it for some extreme cases, when the game changes too much, old saves are no longer compatible and you can’t somehow convert them to new version. Nguyên văn bởi dragon :I also think this behavior is unclear at first and pretty annoying, I usually just end up switching my old build to default and going through 2fa before uploading the next beta. However I think this is because the branch functionality of the browser upload was tacked on later. Open Builds, find the corresponding BuildID, select the default branch in “Set build live on branch” column and click “Preview Change”.It’s not programmer-style branches, they’re not for merging, Steam branches are simply named revisions (BuildIDs). So instead of merging branches you just need to set the same buildID live. Nguyên văn bởi StepS :Great news!However – is there still an upper limit to the number of coexisting beta branches, and if so, what is it today? Oh wow, they’re rarely used in general, why would anyone want to spawn a lot of branches? Do you want to leave each previous version of the game in another branch for some reason? Nguyên văn bởi CA_OtherTom :A very useful update. If we can just get the workshop to allow hosting of multiple mod versions tied to game versions – then my update nightmares will finally end. That’s a nice idea, sounds like with these APIs it should be possible. Filtering out unbroken mods, for example for Don’t Starve Together, is indeed very frustrating. Nguyên văn bởi Maximumgame :There should be an API to unlock a private beta with key in the sdk. Agreed, seems like a weird omission why SetActiveBeta does not optionally support a password. Of course it won’t be secure, but it is not really already — anyone knowing the password can share it with someone else.
