Hi I was using 0.0.9 for Unity5.6. And it supports China region. When I switched to 1.0.4 from Asset Store, I could never connect to CN region successfully, while other regions work as normal.

I switched back and CN region worked again. So I think it's probably the problem with 1.0.4. Hope you fix it soon! We can't give up CN region when releasing the game.

    Hi, just to be sure, did you follow the steps as described in https://doc.photonengine.com/en-us/realtime/current/reference/regions/ ?

    Yeah. I've unlocked mainland China region, so that's why it used to work.

    I had a lot try again. It seems I was wrong. I just could not connect to CN region randomly on any versions when I am at home (it is better when I was at office). If I turn on a VPN to tunnel out of China, I could connect again (with high latency).

    It seems the service is just unstable (with GFW possibly).

    From our experience, connections are only reliable, if you do not have to pass GFW. So, connecting to CN region only makes sense, if you are in China mainland.
