UristMcSparks · January 26, 2018, 3:26am

Hello everyone. Sorry the release notes are a bit late this week. There was a little trouble with the release earlier in the week and we had to re-release. Everything looks to be in order now. You can read the notes for this week here.

All may not be good in the world, but it has got a little bit better.

PSA: If you used AdService.VideoAdClosed and forgot that it was there, your game WILL BREAK, like it did mine. I didn’t even notice until someone tweeted me.

Edit: I’ve talked to Roblox and DevRel about this issue, and they agree that this shouldn’t have happened. They’ll soon re-add the API so that any possible games that were broken from this update will be fixed, and the function will continue to not do anything and be deprecated until there is a proper announcement that this or any future API will be removed.

Finally

Maximum_ADHD · January 29, 2018, 12:12am

I figured something like this was going to happen when I saw this change. They should have warned people in advance. Regardless, the service has been dead for awhile so people should have just removed it.

If you haven’t removed code pertaining to AdService rewards, I would advise doing so. Exploiters can abuse the RemoteEvents due to a lack of server-side verification.

TheNexusAvenger · January 29, 2018, 1:45pm

I might consider making a plugin that looks for things like references to “.VideoAdClosed”. Doesn’t seem like it is going to be fun getting and maintaining a list of deprecated and removed API, unless Anaminus has something useful in his API differences.
