client present on PUN classic and PUN 2 are not match making

raviuee

I have two unity clients and each are creatingOrJoining to same room name in same region(eu).
Only difference between them is that one client is using PUN classic and other client is using PUN 2.
They both are not able to connect to each other. Is it expected behaviour?

Hi @raviuee,

Thank you for choosing Photon!

This is the expected behaviour yes.

In new client with PUN 2, If i set the app version same as old client by using PhotonNetwork.PhotonServerSettings.AppSettings.AppVersion = "1_1.8.0", then it should connect. right?

Tobias

Then it should connect and your clients will not understand one another, yes.

We change the internals of RPCs and or PhotonView synchronization from time to time (to improve this). PUN 2 and PUN Classic definitely don't understand one another.

Hi @raviuee,

The important bit was already highlighted by @Tobias : PUN Classic and PUN 2 are not compatible if you use PUN exclusive/specific (PhotonView related) features. They could in theory be compatible if you use RaiseEvent and SetProperties only w/ a few differences.

I wanted to answer this:
if you set PhotonNetwork.PhotonServerSettings.AppSettings.AppVersion = "1_1.8.0" in PUN 2 latest v2.18.1 then PUN will set the AppVersion to "1_1.8.0_2.18.1".
