GameApplication - Setup takes a while

Hello!

Me and my team are currently working on a game using PhotonPUN and we have a weird behaviour, I would like to confirm that it is normal.

For context, we are using Photon-OnPremise-Server-SDK_v4-0-29-11263 in localhost with the master server and the game server being on the same machine as the game itself.

So we connect to the master server with no problem, then we call

JoinOrCreateRoom

and that's where things go weird.

the server output this line in GSCode :

INFO  Photon.LoadBalancing.GameServer.GameApplication - Setup: serverId=ea1042c8-2498-4652-a729-1b165babf52c

that take between 1 and 15 secondes to complete, depending on the machine we run it on. Unfortunately, JoinOrCreateRoom times out after 10 seconds, so on some of our PC, the first time we try to create a room times out.

Is this a normal behaviour and we only need to set the timeout a bit higher or do we do something wrong?

Here is the full GSGame.log

You can see that it take approx. 6 seconds from the setup line ( the first one ) and the "server state set to online" line.


and here what we call in order :

1 -> PhotonNetwork.ConnectUsingSettings();
2 (OnConnectedToMaster) -> PhotonNetwork.JoinLobby();
3 (When the lobby is join, click on a button) -> PhotonNetwork.JoinOrCreateRoom()
4 Sometime it time out right here.

Here are our 2 servers config files:
Master - http://txt.do/16g1v
GameServer - http://txt.do/16g1w


So is this a normal behaviour? if so, is there a way to pre-create the gameserver before trying to create a room?

Thanks in advance
