Pass QueueName from Matchmaking into GSDK

The MatchId is passed from Matchmaking into the GSDK using the "sessionId" configuration variable but in order to retrieve the ticket details using GetMatch, you also need the QueueName. If using the same build for multiple queues (casual/ranked, 1v1/2v2), this becomes a problem.

Since you already have a "sessionCookie" configuration variable that is unused during matchmaking, this would be a great way to pass in the QueueName so that the server can use GetMatch to successfully retrieve the ticket information. This is vital for making sure players are placed on the team as assigned by the matchmaker.

+1. We also need this on our side. It just doesn't make sense to require QueueName and then don't pass this information to the server. It artificially restrict implementation to one server per queue.

+1 extremly essential feature

Yes, I don't possibly see how matchmaking is even a viable option for production use without this basic functionality.

1. Server requires the queue name to get match details.

2. But the queue name is not provided to the server upon startup

3. Therefore the server cannot get the match details to configure any specifics with the regard to the match (e.g. map or other customizations as defined by the queue).

I read somewhere in PlayFab documentation that getting match details from the server was possible, which is why I started down the road of using matchmaking as opposed to something custom. It's pretty disappointing to see that it's not even possible yet.

yeah, i am facing the same problem. how about if players pass the quene name to the server? I think this is the only viable option
