SFS3 patch v3.0.3 and client API v3.1.x now available!

This release focuses on stability, security and better diagnostics:

Security fix: reconnection handshake for encrypted sessions is now hardened: session tokens are regenerated and sent encrypted after a successful reconnect.

Better error reporting: UDP disconnections during RDP failures now return more detailed info, making it easier to debug connectivity issues.

Performance fix: resolved an issue causing extra latency with fragmented RDP packets.

Faster kick handling: kicked users are now disconnected more promptly.

Consistency fixes: cleaned up String vs ShortString usage across system requests.

⚠ Note: client API v3.1.0 is now the minimum required version, so make sure to update your clients!

SFS C# API v3.0.17 is live

We’ve rolled out major improvements to the Audio API and several important fixes. Here’s what’s new:

Audio Enhancements
Better audio quality with our upgraded echo cancellation, noise suppression, and automatic gain control—now powered by WebRTC’s proven audio processing. We’ve added smart audio interpolation to smooth out network hiccups and automatic resampling to handle microphone/speaker mismatches. Plus, we’ve cut garbage collection pressure for smoother performance.

New Features

  • SFSArray now supports IEnumerable
  • Custom configuration file support via ConfigData.Parse
  • Audio Echo Cancellation for Unity

Under the Hood
Fixed a few validation issues, test-only unsafe SSL configuration and debug logging noise.

SmartFoxServer 2.20.2 and API updates

We have just released update 2.20.2 which introduces a couple of fixes, in particular it adds support for multi-byte strings in SFSObject keys.

You can read the full release notes and download the patch from our Updates download section.

Similarly we have updated our Java and Javascript client API to reflect these changes.
You can find them in the relative Client API download section.

p.s. = the other client APIs already support this feature correctly, so no update was necessary.

SFS 2X 2.17.0 is available!

We have just released SmartFoxServer 2X 2.17.0, codenamed “Flash Farewell” as we have cut the remaining ties with the old Flash-based Admin Tool.

It seems that many users forgot about the termination of Adobe Flash on Jan. 12th 2021 and have found themselves unable to reach their servers with the legacy Admin Tool. This release is particularly targeted at those users, as it packs all the recent updates in one installer.

Read more about installation and migration to SFS2X 2.17.0 in our forum post.
