Frequently Asked Questions

Why use Firebase over Epic Online Services (EOS) or Steamworks?

Standard platform subsystems handle lobby matching well but do not include general-purpose, scalable NoSQL databases. Firebase provides complete schema layout and database access controls that platform layers lack.

Can I run this Firebase plugin alongside native platform achievements?

Yes. The modules are isolated. You can utilize Steamworks or EOS for matchmaking, overlay management, and achievements, while routing backend data storage and analytics through this plugin.

How does it handle cross-platform account linking?

Firebase Auth links credentials from Steam, Epic, Apple, and Google Play into one unified user profile record, providing uniform database access regardless of the client hardware platform.

Is there a local fallback when platform servers experience drops?

Yes. The native Firebase C++ source libraries cache operations locally in the app sandbox directory. When network connectivity resolves, the plugin completes pending synchronization calls automatically.

Does the plugin require separate compilation pipelines during packaging?

No. It runs as a standard Unreal Engine runtime plugin. Dropping it into your project directory lets the standard Unreal Build Tool (UBT) handle compilation steps natively for your platform targets.

How strict are the database security parameters compared to proprietary systems?

Extremely strict. Firebase Security Rules allow you to construct structural, expression-based conditions mapping directly to the client's Auth UID, forcing absolute isolation of server paths.
