Feature Description:
For each event returning a player name, also include the player UID. Since the game released on Steam, player names are no longer unique. That makes it almost impossible to query a Steam player name through the game API which only allows either UIDs or Origin names. Being able to use the player UID would solve this problem, as any feature requiring external API calls for a player are not possible to implement at the moment.
impact for my app: [low, mid, high, show-stopper].
High
What is your current pain point?
There is currently no way of getting the player UID instead of his name.
What do you have in mind to solve it?
Add the player UID when a player name is returned.
We added this feature request to our backlog.
We don’t have an ETA, though, which can take some time to implement and release. Thank you for your patience.
We will update you here once it is ready.
Usually, feature requests take some time to develop (not like bugs that are usually solved fast).
I will ask internally to re-estimate the priority of this request.
Hi, is there any update on this feature now? We are having the same problem with our app.
We would like to have a UID to distinguish the player account and automatically merge the player’s match history when he changes his nickname, and when he changes his account, it can be isolated from his previous records.
Looking forward to the implementation and release of this feature! it’s very helpful for our app.
