Changelog

Changelog of the Google Analytics Measurement Protocol plugin for Unreal Engine.

Version 1.2.5

Bug fixes:

• Workaround for a bug in Unreal Engine 5.5 that does not save configuration changes applied by the plugin when using the “Configure Now” button from Project Settings.
  • Added documentation on how to manually configure the plugin as a standard analytics provider: Analytics Provider Configuration.

Version 1.2.0

Added support for Google Analytics 4 (GA4).

New features:

• Added support for Google Analytics 4 (GA4). This is an experimental integration based on the GA4 gtag protocol. Read carefully the accompanying notes.
• Added to UGoogleAnalyticsMPSettings a set of user-configurable Custom Dimensions that, if properly configured, the plugin can use to automatically log important system and project data.
• New methods for tracking e-commerce events: UGoogleAnalyticsMPStatics::RecordECommerceViewProduct(), UGoogleAnalyticsMPStatics::RecordECommerceBeginCheckout(), UGoogleAnalyticsMPStatics::RecordECommercePurchase().
• Added methods UGoogleAnalyticsMPStatics::BeginBatch(), UGoogleAnalyticsMPStatics::EndBatch() to batch groups of events.

Version 1.1.2

Bug fixes:

• Added fallback when required project settings are missing, not resulting anymore in lost logged events.

Version 1.1.1

New features:

• Unreal Engine 5 is now supported (UE5.0).

Bug fixes:

• Parameters to UGoogleAnalyticsMPStatics::StartSession() and UGoogleAnalyticsMPStatics::EndSession() are now optional when called from Blueprints.
• Fixed compilation warnings on PlayStation and Linux (on some configurations warnings are threated as errors).

Version 1.1.0

New features:

• Added the method UGoogleAnalyticsMPStatics::GetAttributesFilter(). You can use it to retrieve the used Event Attributes Filter object and customize its properties.
• PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles appear now as valid Operating Systems on Google Analytics reports; other consoles are not currently detected by Google Analytics and appear with a “not set” value. If you need them, we suggest to use a custom Event Attributes Filter to inject a Custom Dimension labelled with the string returned by GetPlatformName().

Bug fixes:

• Fixed double url-encoding of system attributes.
• Some settings were cached and not updated on PIE sessions.

Version 1.0.2

Bug fixes:

• Fixed crash when exit a non-shipping build;
• Fixed a compilation warning when building on consoles;
• System attributes can now be processed by custom Event Attributes Filters.

Version 1.0.1

Bug fixes:

• The LoadingPhase of the plugin is now set to Default. This works around an Unreal Engine bug when Playing-In-Editor in Standalone mode: the Game Instance is initialized before than usual, causing possible references to plugins loaded at PostEngineInit to fail to be resolved.
• Viewport size is logged only if valid. During the BeginPlay event, Unreal Engine reports a wrong viewport size of 0x0.

Version 1.0.0

• First release.
