Features #

Added SDK event for MatchTerminationV1Notification for matches that are shut down by Pragma Engine.

• Description: Unity and Unreal game clients can now listen for a new SDK event named PartyService.OnMatchTermination, which occurs whenever an in-progress match is terminated by Pragma Engine due to failure reasons such as exceeding the absolute match timeout duration or missing heartbeat cycles.

Integrations #

Unreal: You must now initialize Pragma Session Subsystems before using them.

• Description: UPragmaSessionLocalPlayerSubsystem and UPragmaSessionGameServerSubsystem no longer automatically initialize SdkConfig with default values.
• Integration step: If using UPragmaSessionLocalPlayerSubsystem or UPragmaSessionGameServerSubsystem, you must call the respective InitSession before calling GetSession.

Bugs and Fixes #

For managed infrastructure customers: Separated Pragma Engine demo CI pipeline and customer ext CI pipeline.

• Description: We’ve added a new file at pragma-engine/platform/5-ext/buildkite/engine-ci.yml. This separation of engine-ci.yml files will allow studios to have separate, customizable CI steps in their workflows outside of Pragma Engine’s pipeline.

Unreal: Added a workaround for a JSON serialization bug where structs were serialized using the case-insensitive property FName.
