Andreas Grois<p>I was shocked when I saw that the <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/PlayFab" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PlayFab</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/UnrealEngine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UnrealEngine</span></a> plugin uses a TSharedPtr&lt;UPlayFabAuthenticationContext&gt;, where the UPlayFabAuthenticationContext is a UObject.</p><p>I always thought this to be impossible.</p><p>They use this <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Hack" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hack</span></a> to make it work:<br />- First create a TSharedRef&lt;TStrongObjectPtr&lt;UObject&gt;&gt;.<br />- Then use the aliasing constructor <br />TSharedPtr(TSharedPtr&lt;OtherType&gt;, ObjectType*) to create a new shared pointer using the Shared Reference as first, and the UObject as second parameter.<br /><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/GameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GameDev</span></a></p>

Laura<p>If you make videogames in the US, it would be very helpful to my team if you sign up to be an Xbox Research participant <a href="https://mastodon.cr/tags/GameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GameDev</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cr/tags/Xbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Xbox</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cr/tags/PlayFab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PlayFab</span></a> <a href="https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/games/resources/xbox-research/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">developer.microsoft.com/en-us/</span><span class="invisible">games/resources/xbox-research/</span></a></p>
Joris "Interface" de Gruyter<p>Made great progress in my mobile <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Unity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Unity</span></a> game with notifications and deep linking thanks to being able to use the Mac. Unfortunately now I’ve hit a <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/PlayFab" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PlayFab</span></a> bug rendering most of my progress useless. <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/GameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GameDev</span></a> is fun</p>
