Is there a way to be notified when ConnectToRegionMaster fails?

Patrik

Hi, Is there a way to get notified if LoadBalancingClient.ConnectToMasterServer() fails (e.g. due to connection issues)?

Patrik

Came up with this:

        private void Start()
        {
            _client.StateChanged += OnLoadBalancingClientStateChanged;
        }

        private void OnLoadBalancingClientStateChanged(ClientState previousState, ClientState state)
        {
            Debug.Log("Changing state from: " + previousState + ", to: " + state);

            if (previousState == ClientState.ConnectingToMasterServer && 
                state == ClientState.ConnectedToMasterServer)
            {
                Debug.Log("Connection succeeded!");
            }

            if (previousState == ClientState.ConnectingToMasterServer &&
                state != ClientState.ConnectedToMasterServer)
            {
                Debug.Log("Connection failed!");
            }
        }

When calling _client.ConnectToRegionMaster("eu") I get the following state changes:

PeerCreated -> ConnectingToNameServer

Nothing else.

Tried doing:

        private void Start()
        {
            _client = new LoadBalancingClient();
            _client.AddCallbackTarget(this);
            _client.StateChanged += OnLoadBalancingClientStateChanged;
            _client.AppId = PhotonNetwork.PhotonServerSettings.AppSettings.AppIdRealtime;
            _client.AppVersion = PhotonNetwork.NetworkingClient.AppVersion;
            _client.ConnectToRegionMaster("us");
        }

        private void OnLoadBalancingClientStateChanged(ClientState previousState, ClientState state)
        {
            Debug.Log("Changing state from: " + previousState + ", to: " + state);

            if (previousState == ClientState.ConnectingToMasterServer && 
                state == ClientState.ConnectedToMasterServer)
            {
                Debug.Log("Connection succeeded");
            }

            if (previousState == ClientState.ConnectingToMasterServer &&
                state != ClientState.ConnectedToMasterServer)
            {
                Debug.Log("Connection failed");
            }
        }

I call _client.ConnectToRegionMaster("eu") and get:

Changing state from: PeerCreated, to: ConnectingToNameServer

Nothing else.

Check the result of Connect-calls. If it's false, the connect failed even before making an attempt.
Then, implement IConnectionCallbacks. It has OnDisconnected, which is also called in cases where the connection is not entirely setup yet. The DisconnectReason helps identify the cause.

If you use WebSockets, there are a few cases, which accidentally don't get you a callback. UDP, the preferred protocol should get you the callbacks. Sometimes a timeout is needed and this takes < 10 sec.

If you don't use the latest PUN 2, please update.

Using PUN2. Thanks looks like OnCustomAuthenticationFailed was called, I needed to set AuthValues on the LoadBalancingClient and not just the PhotonNetwork object.
