Hello!
I am running a project on 2019.4.14f1 LTS on MacBook Pro, Catalina, latest version.
I’ve been using RemoteConfig successfully for months now but this morning I experienced something weird:
I had a development environment with 6 different string variables and one ‘rule’ for each variable
I added a new string variable with a default value ‘off’
I ran the code in the Editor but I could never get the value of the new string variable, only the old pre-existing 6 variables with DEFAULT values (kind of cached ones)
I then deleted ALL the variables from the development environment but when I run in the editor I still get all the old 6 string variables as if they were on the backend
Things I’ve checked:
I’ve checked the backend dashboard and I only have one variable now, but I still get the old 6 if I run the code
I’ve removed the RemoteConfig.json file from the game folders multiple times but it doesn’t affect the results
I’ve updated RemoteConfig from 1.2.x to 2.0.0 to no avail
If I create a new rule for the 7th variable and activate it, I magically get one of the rule values correctly (screenshots attached). I don’t think this is the only way to make this work, I always understood that settings without rules should work just fine
private void Start()
{
Logger.Log("remote", "Start");
ConfigManager.FetchCompleted += ApplyRemoteSettings;
ConfigManager.FetchConfigs(userAttributes, new AppAttributes());
}
private void ApplyRemoteSettings(ConfigResponse configResponse)
{
if(configResponse.status != ConfigRequestStatus.Success)
{
Logger.Log("remote", "the remote config request was not successful but " + configResponse.status);
return;
}
switch (configResponse.requestOrigin)
{
case ConfigOrigin.Default:
Logger.Log("remote", "no settings loaded this session; using default values");
break;
case ConfigOrigin.Cached:
Logger.Log("remote", "no settings loaded this session; using cached values from a previous session");
break;
case ConfigOrigin.Remote:
Logger.Log("remote", "new settings loaded this session; update values accordingly");
Logger.Log("remote", "origin: " + ConfigManager.appConfig.origin);
// here we use the value
ConfigManager.appConfig.GetString(experiments[i].experimentName);
break;
}
}
So you’re not seeing the values when you Push/Pull your values in the Editor, as in your screenshots? Or are you referring to the values when you run your code.
Pull and Push work correctly, but when I run the code, if I print the content of appConfig I get the 6 variables that I had defined until yesterday, while I should now get only one variable set (experimentVariant007 from the screenshot)
I am also setting the env as follows (I’ve omitted the call to the function in the previous snippet)

This is the entire Singleton manager that handles the remote configuration calls.
When it gets the data it populates an array of structs with the experiment name (key) and its value
The code I’m using was working fine for the last year or so. For me Pull & Push also work fine in the Remote Config window, but the values received during runtime are yesterdays values. Tested on both Development and Release environments.
Same problem here, it was working well, last week, I tried today to add a new field but I dont see any changes.
Also modifying previous fields I still get the old values.
Unfortunately it was down right when I most needed it. I have now modified the way we use the configs, so this should not be as big of an issue in the future.
