Hi.

When trying to build a project, I get the error like below. I'm using EU 4.26. I kindly ask for help.

    Hi @Lukson.

    I assume that you are trying to use the latest Photon Client SDK version 5.0.0.2. Is that correct?
    The demo is still expecting the Photon Client APIs from version 4.1.16.0-4.1.16.7.
    The latest 4.1.16.something releases for all platforms are still available in our download section (you can find the download links right next to the ones for the latest release under "older versions"). The Unreal demo should work fine as is with those versions.

    Line 31 in PhotonLBClient.cpp that is mentioned in the error message reads like this: 
    mpClient->connect(ExitGames::LoadBalancing::AuthenticationValues().setUserID(ExitGames::Common::JString(L"UR") + GETTIMEMS()), ExitGames::Common::JString(L"UR") + GETTIMEMS(), TCHAR_TO_UTF8(*serverAddress));

    To make it compile with the latest SDK and still exhibit the same functionality like before, you can change it to the following code: 
    mpClient->connect(ExitGames::LoadBalancing::ConnectOptions().setAuthenticationValues(ExitGames::LoadBalancing::AuthenticationValues().setUserID(ExitGames::Common::JString(L"UR") + GETTIMEMS())).setUsername(ExitGames::Common::JString(L"UR") + GETTIMEMS()).setServerAddress(TCHAR_TO_UTF8(*serverAddress)));

    Accordingly you need to change line 84 in LoadBalancingListener.cpp from 
    mpLbc->connect(AuthenticationValues().setUserID(JString()+GETTIMEMS()), userName);
    to 
    mpLbc->connect(ConnectOptions().setAuthenticationValues(AuthenticationValues().setUserID(JString()+GETTIMEMS())).setUsername(userName));
    to make it work with the latest SDK.

    I'm using photon-windows-sdk_v5-0-0-0. That was exactly the problem. After the suggested changes, I was able to build the project. @Kaiserludi, thank you very much for your help!

    Cheers

    Hi @Hieudpt.


    What error do you get?

    You only posted some harmless warnings that you can safely ignore, but no actual error.
