I am recieving an error "Game Does Not Exist"

callthecowvalry · April 2019

I am working on a game with Photon. I'm using PUN2. I am trying to create a room with a name that is generated by the masterclient. They then share the room name with a friend, who enters it into a text field, and that is used to join the room. I had been working on the game, and this technique had worked previously. All of a sudden, I start receiving the message that "Game Does Not Exist". I've set the console to confirm the client that creates the game, and to confirm the name of the game created. I still get this error from any other client that attempts to join. I am including a copy of my script.

Hi @callthecowvalry,

Thank you for choosing Photon!
