photon network server address

remi25

Hi everyone,

I try to create a video game and I have some difficulties with photon network. I followed some tutorials and arrive to connect my game to network thanks to PhotonNetwork.ConnectUsingSettings(); but I realize that every times a player connect he is alone in the room even if the room name is the same. So I print the server address using PhotonNetwork.ServerAddress and I realize that every player has a different server address. My question is the following how do I get a unique Photon Cloud server address in order that my players can play together ?

Hi @remi25,

Thank you for choosing Photon!

Thank you for your answer. I try to fix thanks to the second link and I verified the all the elements in the matchmaking checklist, everything is ok except the last one, I think the problem is coming from that :

- If you are implementing asynchronous matchmaking, make sure to use webhooks with proper configuration (enable "AsyncJoin") or use AsyncRandomLobby.

so I modified my lobby with those lines in onConnectedToMaster :

numRoom++;
roomName = "Room" + numRoom;
RoomOptions roomOptions = new RoomOptions();
roomOptions.MaxPlayers = maxPlayersPerRoom;
roomOptions.PlayerTtl = 6000;
roomOptions.IsOpen = true;
roomOptions.IsVisible = true;
roomOptions.CleanupCacheOnLeave = true;
TypedLobby typedLobby = new TypedLobby("MyLobby", LobbyType.AsyncRandomLobby);
PhotonNetwork.JoinOrCreateRoom(roomName, roomOptions, typedLobby);

but it's still not working even if they don't have the same userID, they have the same room name, same lobby, same AppID... so I don't know what to do

Hi @remi25,

So I print the server address using PhotonNetwork.ServerAddress and I realize that every player has a different server address.

Is it still the case?

On each client:

log the AppId, AppVersion, Region, Cluster, ServerAddress when connected to master server.
log the room name when joined.

Compare.

It seems that for an unknown reason, sometimes it connects to EU region and some others to RU region even if I live in EU region. So to fix my problem, I add "EU" in fixed region in the photon server settings. Thank you so much.
