in Photon Unity Networking (PUN)

Initially, I couldn't figure this out because my games wouldn't connect. But after debugging for 4 hours I found the cause..
So I built my game on android. It connects to Asia region.
Ran my game on unity editor, that connected to India region.
I'm using the same WiFi connection on both. Why does it chooses two different regions?

    AFAIK it's known thing Photon. For testing purpose I force to connect specific region. You can change it from code "PhotonNetwork.ConnectToRegion("regionCode");" or inside photon server settings file "Fixed region".
    Both takes region code you can find more detailed here:

    Hi @Vindorable,

    Thank you for choosing Photon!

    What PUN version is this?
    If not PUN 2.17 (latest), update now and run once in Unity Editor then build again and retry.
    Added: New "Dev Region" feature. With this setting, all development builds will use the same region, avoiding initial matchmaking problems with best region selection. Development builds are turned on automatically, when the PhotonServerSettings get created initially and the "Dev Region" is set on first run in Editor.

    @JohnTube I'm using version 1.16. Alright, I'll give that a shot!
    @L3sc thanks! I'll play around with that code :)

    Hi @Vindorable

    1.16? you mean PUN Classic? that version is too old (3. August 2012), PUN is now 1.102!
    Maybe you meant 2.16?
    Or is it a Photon Voice version?
