TTL problems

Statigar

Working on rejoin logic. I set TTL for the room to 5 minutes.

Works correctly if a player crashes or loses internet connection. But if they actually choose to quit the level and PhotonNetwork.Disconnect() is called, they stay in the level for 5 minutes still? That has to be a bug right? If not, i don't understand, how do i get the player to leave a level immediately? TTL should just be for handling unwanted disconnects right? Not intended disconnects?

Hi @Statigar,

If you want to leave the room for good even if PlayerTTL != 0, then call PhotonNetwork.LeaveRoom(false) instead of PhotonNetwork.LeaveRoom() or PhotonNetwork.LeaveRoom(true) or PhotonNetwork.Disconnect().

I'm using PhotonNetwork.Disconnect(), but it's still taking 5 minutes to leave the room.

I also tried PhotonNetwork.LeaveRoom(true) and PhotonNetwork.LeaveRoom(false) but it has the same problem.

How would i tell if Photon is experiencing any difficulty leaving the room? maybe it can't process the leaving correctly so it's counting it as an unintended disconnect?

Unexpected disconnects, PhotonNetwork.Disconnect(), PhotonNetwork.LeaveRoom() and PhotonNetwork.LeaveRoom(true) will not remove the actor from the room if PlayerTTL != 0. Instead the actor will become inactive first.

You need to use PhotonNetwork.LeaveRoom(false) which works as expected.

If you also want to disconnect (why?) call PhotonNetwork.Disconnect() inside OnLeftRoom() callback.
