Hi there,

Is it possible to persist the game version # in one of the photon cloud settings? Use case is when client hits Photon Cloud, I'd like to validate the client game version # with the Photon Cloud game version #. If they do not match, I'd like to ask player to upgrade.

Doable? If so, how is it done?

    I don't think it is possible right with photon cloud. But you can use just simple html page just with version text and parse it in your application. This is how we do it and it's simple, fast and easy to implement

    You could use Custom Authentication and a server of your own to validate the client version. Instead of sending user and some login secret, you can send your client version and verify it.
