Internet connection loss not detected

XenoBits

Hello,

I'm currently using PUN v1.66 (I encounter weird input issues with more recent versions)

In my game if I disable the internet connection the game will not detect it nor call OnDisconnectedFromPhoton, I've waited several minutes without any success, on various platforms (pc/wp/android)

Is there something specific to do in such case? Implement a manual timeout for example?

Regards

Hi @XenoBits,

Please take a look at PhotonNetwork.BackgroundTimeout maybe you need to change its value.
You can read changelog.txt from package (or "release history").

Hello
thank you for your answer!

unfortunately it does not seem to fix my issue if I set a low BackgroundTimeout, from what I understand it will be used only if app is in background.

do you see any other way to check if I'm still connected to photon?

I've solved the issue by making a rpc call via server periodically, but I guess there must be a more proper way to do that

Hi,

Check this instead, much better than rpcs.
