Question 1

How do I set up Steam authentication with godot-playfab?

Accepted Answer

First, install the GodotSteam addon and configure it in your project. Then, use godot-playfab's Steam login methods as shown in the example project, which handles the token exchange automatically. Refer to the Steam integration documentation for detailed steps.

Question 2

Is godot-playfab better than using the official PlayFab C# SDK in Godot?

Accepted Answer

godot-playfab is preferable if you work primarily in GDScript and want native Godot integration with signals, while the C# SDK offers broader API coverage but requires C# setup in Godot, which can be heavier. Choose based on your language preference and need for idiomatic Godot workflows.

Question 3

Does godot-playfab support saving player progress to the cloud?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it integrates with PlayFab's player data management APIs to store and retrieve data like inventory or stats. Use the provided GDScript methods to update player data, and events are handled via signals for success or failure, as demonstrated in the example.

Question 4

What does it cost to use PlayFab with this addon?

Accepted Answer

godot-playfab is free and open-source, but using PlayFab services incurs costs based on Azure PlayFab's pricing, such as per monthly active user or event volume. You'll need to check PlayFab's website for current rates and plan accordingly.

Question 5

Can I use godot-playfab with Godot 3.x?

Accepted Answer

No, the main version only supports Godot 4.3+, but a legacy branch for Godot 3 is available. However, it may not have all the latest features or updates, so migrating to Godot 4 is recommended for full compatibility.

Question 6

How does session management work in godot-playfab?

Accepted Answer

It automatically handles session tokens and re-authentication when sessions expire, maintaining player connections without manual code. This is built into the addon's core, as mentioned in the key features, reducing boilerplate for developers.
