Today we’re releasing a new update of the SFS3 C++ API (3.1.1) that comes with an UE5 Plugin for ease of integration with Unreal. Additionally we’ve released a new Example pack for C++ with tutorials for both vanilla C++ (no-engine) and UE5.
As usual you can find all the downloadable material here:
Additionally you can check the Plugin setup and the UE Connector tutorial in our documentation website.
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!

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