Need clarification - photon version

Hello I used photon with Unity 2 years ago, and the only reason I left photon that's what I thought there was no dedicated server version I used PUN for 3-4 months but the master & client system didn't suit me So my question is the next one, I have my own server which I pay every month ( it's not my real computer ) can I use it as a photon server to send and receive photon request ? I know that it's probably distinctly written in the documentation, but please, i'm so confused Thanks!

Self hosted server with Unity Pun connection issues

Hey all Just wondering if anyone knows a step by step guide to set up a self hosted server and then connect a unity Pun game to this. Been racking my brain now for about half a day trying to get the whole thing set up and working. I am trying to run a server from 1 computer/network connection and connect to a second computer/network. Best i have gotten so far is to connect them both to the same network and use the local connection (which works and i can see my unity clients) but as soon as i turn this to us the public network or move then to different connects i can no longer either connect to the server as it just drops. Been following the instructions on the server in 5 minutes/server configuration and just having no success. so yeah any help or if there is a step by step video series anyone knows i can follow along with that would be great. Thanks

Saving and Loading Data

Hello folks! First time posting here. I'm trying to make an experience that involves recording some audio at certain positions of a scene that get stored somewhere online for another user to listen to. Kind of like dark souls messages but with audio. So I need to get the audio files, store them somewhere and then fetch them again when needed. I've heard that Photon isn't great with storing and loading, but I just wanted to double check with the community. Is Photon a good answer to this, or should I look elsewhere? If so where? Should I get another SDK or plugin, or rely on Unity's built in webrequests? Thank you!

Create Room On Cloud, No Problem. Create Room on Stand Alone Server... No Go :(

Hey guys, anyone have any idea what might be up here. I can easily connect and do whatever via the cloud, but on the stand alone server, i CAN connect to the master, but i can NOT create a room for the life of me. It doesn't even throw an error, nothing. Its hosted locally, i'm connecting via 127.0.0.1. Connection makes it, but rooms just don't create. I've disabled my firewall completely just to be sure, along with the port forwarded 5055 udp, 5056 tcp, but no luck. TIA.

I need to demo my games multiplayer without internet, can server help?

I'm working on a game that currently uses photon for it's 1v1 matches. I frequently need to show a live demo for the game, but I'll occasionally get burned because I have to assume that the venue will have internet (or fast internet at cons). It would be a lot easier and safer if I could just bring a 3rd comp to work as a local server.
I don't know anything about servers really.
Can I use server like this?
Would it be plug and play, or will I need to be changing parts of the game, and doing stuff to setup the server?
Is there a license I can use that would be free (and preferably would never need to be updated)?
Since the comp would be mobile, is powering it on gonna be an issue? Or could I get it to start everything automatically?

Licensing & horizontal scaling

July 9, 2019, 2:53 am

0
Hello! I'm currently evaluating Photon server and I'd like to confirm that I understood correctly how the licenses system works. From what I understand from the docs and the discussions I could find here, the self-hosted server solution requires one license per server. This would mean that if at some point more game servers are required for a game, I would need to buy a new license before being able to launch a game server on a new server. So it would be impossible to horizontally scale game servers dynamically. Is that correct?

Hello I'm actually trying to make a simple client-server application using PUN2 and Photon Realtime v4, and got a problem with the RaiseEvent method. I'm actually using PUN2.5 and Photon Reatime 4.0.28.2962, and the following code: 
byte[] data = new byte[] { 136, 137, 138 };
RaiseEventOptions reo = new RaiseEventOptions()
{
    TargetActors = targets,
    CachingOption = EventCaching.DoNotCache,
    InterestGroup = 0,
    Receivers = ReceiverGroup.Others
};
SendOptions so = new SendOptions
{
    Channel = 1,
    DeliveryMode = DeliveryMode.ReliableUnsequenced
}
PhotonNetwork.RaiseEvent(1, data, reo, so);
When I'm using this code, my client get instantly disconnected from the server, and I got the following error in my LoadBalancing logs:

OnRoomPropertiesUpdate not triggered on local Photon Loadbalancer

Hello there, I'm updating one RoomProperty to be sure one specific data is the same for everyone, and update the UI in the "OnRoomPropertiesUpdate" event. Setting the property like this: 
    /// 
    /// Sets the Tracer Bonus value
    /// 
    public static void SetTracerBonusValue(this Room p_Room, float[] _value)
    {
        p_Room.SetCustomProperties(new Hashtable() { { TracerBonusKey, _value } });
    }
And managing the event like this: 
    /// 
    /// Called when a room's custom properties changed
    /// 
    public override void OnRoomPropertiesUpdate(ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable propertiesThatChanged)
    {
        base.OnRoomPropertiesUpdate(propertiesThatChanged);

        if (propertiesThatChanged.ContainsKey(PhotonRoomExtension.TracerBonusKey) && TracerBonusGenerator.instance != null)
        {
            TracerBonusGenerator.instance.UpdateUI();
        }
    }
This is working fine when connected to the PhotonCloud, or when using Offline mode. However, the event OnRoomPropertiesUpdate is never triggered when connected to a self-hosted Loadbalancer (currently on my own PC). I checked with some Debug.Logs to be sure the function was not called at all. Everyting else is working as intended, so the connection to the server is OK. The property is also well setted, as I have another way of updating the UI on specific events. The UI does something like this: 
public void UpdateUI()
    {
        float[] _values = PhotonNetwork.CurrentRoom.GetTracerBonusValue();

        // Do things with the values
    }
Getting the value is this (and get the correct values): 
    /// 
    /// Gets the Tracer Bonus value
    /// 
    public static float[] GetTracerBonusValue(this RoomInfo p_RoomInfo)
    {
        object f_tracerBonus;
        if (p_RoomInfo.CustomProperties.TryGetValue(TracerBonusKey, out f_tracerBonus))
            return (float[])f_tracerBonus;
        return new float[2] { 0f, 0f };
    }
Is it a bug in Photon or something I can fix by modifying the local server? Thanks !

Hello, I am trying to setup my Photon server on Google cloud platform. It's not listed along with AWS and Azure in your website as the supported providers. I am not sure if those are hard requirements to use those providers. I have a Windows 2016 Server VM running. I have created network firewall rules on that machine so that the ports are unblocked. (https://doc.photonengine.com/en-us/realtime/current/connection-and-authentication/tcp-and-udp-port-numbers) I have also disabled the Windows firewall just so that I can run this test. After I start the LoadBalancing application and run the test client. I get error message below. OnOperationReturn: JoinGame failed: ReturnCode: 32758 (Game does not exists). Disconnecting... Can someone help me figure out what might be wrong?

Hello Here's my server structure. I have two lobby servers A and B, and a central server C. Users are randomly connected to different lobby servers. The lobby server then established 200 connections to the central server through OutboundS2SPeer.ConnectTcp. Users can set up a chat room. His request process is to send the request to the hall service, and then the hall service is forwarded to the center service. A room is created on the center suit. Then all users can join in. The problem now is that we periodically receive ClientDisconect callbacks every 15 seconds. Could you help me analyze the problem?
