Filter RoomList in Master Server
Options
Hello,
I would like to filter the room list data that the server sends to clients because if Master Server has 3000 rooms I think that is too much traffic and too many useless data. Maybe client only needs to know about a little subset of this 3000 rooms.
if I understand correctly, Master Server sends the full room list on HandleJoinLobby() function and client stores this info in a list of RoomInfo object. Can I query (with a custom operation or similar) the room list using room properties?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, you can't filter it. In the Photon Cloud, it's not built in but running your own servers, you could add this.
We DO have a way to control the number of rooms.
You can split up room listings by using multiple lobbies. This is not yet available in PUN though, so: Which client are you using?
Once a room is full or the game gets started, you should hide it by setting room.IsVisible = false. This drops rooms you can't join from the lobby.
You can also decide not to get the rooms list. Turn it off by setting: autoJoinLobby = false. You can still use OpJoinRandomRoom() and even filter rooms without ever fetching the rooms list.0
