I think you can check version by getting the product info from marketplace service by passing in the games placeid then checking that against the previous response. This would need to be set up in a while loop

Using game.PlaceVersion in a while loop and caching the previous PlaceVersion so you can compare it to the current one.

It will always return 0 in Studio and if you’re calling it in a LocalScript. You must use a normal Script and check the console in a real game.

function getLatestVersion()
local success, productInfo = pcall(function()
return game.MarketplaceService:GetProductInfo(game.PlaceId)
end)
if success then
warn(productInfo.Updated)
return productInfo.Updated
else
warn("Failed to retrieve the latest version info.")
return nil
end
end
while true do
wait(2)
local LatestVersion = getLatestVersion()
local PlaceVersion = game.PlaceVersion
if LatestVersion > PlaceVersion then
warn("place outdated")
else
warn("place up tp date")
end
end

.Updated is a timestamp of when the asset was last changed in a string format 2022-02-12T11:22:15Z. You can’t get the PlaceVersion using the MarketplaceService. You should do this:
local PreviousVersion
while task.wait(60) do
local PlaceVersion = game.PlaceVersion
if PreviousVersion and PreviousVersion < PlaceVersion then
warn("place outdated")
else
warn("place up tp date")
end
PreviousVersion = PlaceVersion
end
okay. i will try this, thank you.
could you eventually help me with my next issue also? its about getting a math random
game.placeversion is the current running server which means it doesnt detect the new version
Try this.
local InsertService = game:GetService("InsertService")
InsertService:GetLatestAssetVersionAsync(game.PlaceId)
im having the same issue, and this code actually prints an long number, which is nowhere near the place version
There is people on devforum that figured it out, but you need to use an proxy, and you then authentication to use the roblox api, since httpservice doesn’t allow roblox apis
It returns the latest AssetVersionId of the game. You can still compare it with the previous AssetVersionId to see if it changed aka if the game updated.
i am confuused, is there no way to do this?
local InsertService = game:GetService("InsertService")
local PreviousVersion
while task.wait(60) do
local CurrentVersion = InsertService:GetLatestAssetVersionAsync(game.PlaceId)
if PreviousVersion and PreviousVersion ~= CurrentVersion then
warn("place outdated")
else
warn("place up to date")
end
PreviousVersion = CurrentVersion
end
AMAZING! It works, you are a genius thanks so much
