GameAnalytics

For issues or assistance, please click here to contact Support

Hi. We are new to GameAnalytics and we are used to a different type of custom event API. We are used to sending an event name string, and a dictionary of string-value pairs for the parameters. While GA does provide such an API, I believe that parameters sent in that way are not visible on the dashboard (only via an external tool). If we are speccing our events in such a way, is the "correct" way to send those events to call NewDesignEvent once for the event name, and once for each event parameter. We commonly have 10 to 20 event parameters; so that would be 10 to 20 NewDesignEvent calls per event. Is that ok? Does each call have a significant overhead? Is there caching/batching going on under the hood?

Unreal integration makes no sense

I just spent an afternoon trying to get the Unreal integration to work. To be clear, I'm installing from GitHub (which already had issues because if you try to download the Source.zip from releases, the big .lib file isn't there, instead you get the LFS stub). I'm using UE5.4.4 and C++ (not Blueprints). I almost gave up, but I dug into the issues and here's what I found. The instructions from https://docs.gameanalytics.com/integrations/sdk/unreal seem to indicate that GameAnalytics acts as an analytics provide for Unreal. This sounds great, except that Unreal doesn't run analytics provider in non-editor builds - so game/cooked builds wouldn't work properly. This is obvious if you look at the function "void FEngineAnalytics::Initialize()" in "EngineAnalytics.cpp" (this is Unreal's code). As a result, simply calling UGameAnalytics::initialize as the instructions indicate is insufficient, and the analytics engine is misconfigured. Besides, all the configuration that exists in the Project Settings is completely ignored, because it's only accessed when a session is started using the analytics provider interface. It was also very inconvenient that the SDK-CPP lib came in binary format, preventing me from debugging it and figuring out the issue much faster. I even had to modify the integration to add a log handler to understand why some events (resource) were not being sent correctly. Overall, I'm disappointed by the integration process. I don't know if going with Blueprints would've been better - though it that still relies on the analytics provider interface I doubt it. My advice would've been to essentially expose a very thin interface over the CPP lib, just transforming from FString to char*, and then make those available to Blueprints as static functions. The module already handles Startup and Shutdown, so integration could be seamless.

Issue with Missing MaxSdkCallbacks.CrossPromo in Latest GameAnalytics SDK

Hello GameAnalytics Support Team, I am currently integrating the latest versions of GameAnalytics SDK and Applovin in my project. However, I’ve encountered an issue where the GameAnalytics SDK attempts to call MaxSdkCallbacks.CrossPromo, but this callback seems to be missing from the SDK. As a result, my application fails to function properly. Could you please provide assistance or suggest a workaround for this issue? Thank you in advance for your help.

No events or verbose logs in Unreal Engine 5 built from source

We have UE5.0 from p4 scc, and build the project with UBT. First, I tried adding the GA plugin from source using the Github link, but failed at integrating it. It didn't have a .plugin file, and I didn't spent much more time trying to tweak things. The documentation needs to be more complete, or else something needs to be updated) Second, I installed UE5 from Epic Games launcher, and installed the GA plugin from the marketplace, THEN copied it out of the installation, into a path within Engine Plugins. This appeared to work, and I was able to call it from cpp (I added a dependency in the build.cs) Configured the GA plugin to be used in the .ini. Also could see plugin settings, and also installed the analytics blueprint library successfully Tried MANY permutations of manually calling startSession in native, of the analytics ?Blueprint library start session, of not using start session, of making calls to design event, setting blueprint setting to true or false for manual sessions, etc etc... but NO EVENTS LOG Enabled both logging options, but only see the standard logs, no verbose logs. Logs don't show errors, and just blankly show the plugin methods being called.... I've run out of things to try, please help! Thank you!

about userID

When we use GameAnalytics on a hybird game. We notice that the userID are changed after we remove the app and reinstalled and we want to know how to fix the userID Besides this, we are using Facebook and Google as the login method and when the player log out the game, we wil generate a new ingame userID for the player, we notice that on GameAnalytic, the userid are alway the same no matter we are login or log out, we wonder how we can seperate the acount in different userID?
