Speaking of, War Thunder, a huge popular game, saves graphical settings to the cloud. I sometimes switch between my desktop and laptop and find that I have to manually switch the resolution each time. And my desktop has DLSS on while the laptop does not so I have to enable standard AA each time. Incredibly annoying.

Saving graphics settings is one of the worst uses of cloud saving, Valve even suggests people don't do that in their version. If you play on multiple devices like say, a desktop and a laptop, you have to go in and reset your graphics settings each time because cloud saves reset them. Had this happen a lot when I first got my Steam Deck, several games would default to whatever the resolution was the last time I played. My desktop and my Deck have very different resolutions.

Is this a paid promotion? It feels like an ad but I don't see the banner. I'm not sure when I'd ever use Unity's cloud solution when (1) Steam already has a completely free cloud save solution, (2) Android and iOS each have their own free solutions, and (3) if you need full cross-platform cloud save, Firebase is significantly less expensive and just as easy to use. Like, Unity wants to enter the cloud computing space now? Good luck when they're asking $1.50/million serverless function invocations when Firebase is only $0.20 and there's a similar discrepancy between the pricing of the other services. The "you'll be so rich the cost won't matter" is always thrown out there but why pay 5x what you need to?
@Tarodev Жыл бұрын
I love firebase and use it in every single web/app project I do, but have you used it in Unity? It's huuugely clunky. The moment you install it your compile time doubles. UGS prices will drop as it is adopted more. It's still super cheap, but yes, can't compete with firebase. Still though, 1m serverless calls is quite the player base.

So you're using anonymous login. If I'm reading your code correctly, the data you're saving is game-specific, not user-specific (except that you're using the player's 'slot' as the key). If I wanted to data to be saved to particular user for use in a multiplayer game I'm guessing I would need to force them to really login (not anonymously).
@Tarodev Жыл бұрын
Nope, all cloud save data is user-specific, including anonymous login. Anonymous login is just the first step you can offer to get players in without bugging them with auth. Once they taste the magic, you should ask them to 'backup' their account using google play/apple games/whatever.
