caution

Do not perform stress testing in the Player Network SDK production environment. If the game requires stress testing on its own modules, it is recommended to mock the Player Network SDK authentication request. If you need account service for stress testing, please reach out to the Player Network representative in advance.

The game backend must change request addresses to the domain address of Player Network SDK production environment. The domain address must be configured based on the release region. Reach out to the Player Network representative for details.

When switching to the production environment, if account deletion is not performed by the Customer Service Center, change the URL and intl_cluster settings of the account deletion API to those of the production environment.

Third-channel Publish Configuration

Google Configuration

Change Publishing status to PUBLISH APP.

Facebook Configuration

Change App Mode to Live.

Line Configuration

To open LINE Login function to the players, set the channel to Published.

Steam Configuration

1. Delete the steam_appid.txt file inside the executable directory of the game, or Steam login might fail.
2. Set the AppID for Steam channel in Player Network to the designated AppID of the game. Player Network SDK can now display Steam login correctly.
3. (Optional) After actual release of the game, configure a STEAM_APPID field in the INTLConfig.ini file. If INTLConfig.ini contains a STEAM_APPID field, Steam would check if the game is started from the Steam app and if not, restart the game through Steam.

[Steam]
STEAM_APPID = {INTL_STEAM_APP_ID}

Replace {INTL_STEAM_APP_ID} with the Steam app ID of the game.
