This update brings significant improvements to the GameFuse C++ plugin's architecture and functionality. The changes focus on improving reliability, performance, and developer experience. This version has some breaking changes, so please see the C++ migration guide and Blueprint migration guide for instructions on updating your code.

Deprecation Notice

The GameFuseCore class is now deprecated and will be removed in V3.0. All functionality has been moved to the new GameFuseManager subsystem. Please refer to the migration guide for assistance in updating your code. GameFuseManager is the conversion of GameFuseCore into a subsystem, similar to was previously accessed. Upcoming features will also make use of subsystems.

  • delegates can be bound in BP and C++
