Hello there,
I'm currently attempting to have two PartyNetworks running at the same time, it appears that I can only have one PartyNetwork set up to use the DirectPeerConnectivity setup that PartyNetworks provide. Couldn't find anything in the docs about this limitation so reaching out in the hopes this is just something wrong with my setup.
I can successfully create two PartyNetworks and set up the DirectPeerConnectivity, did you receive any error messages? And as Multiple networks mentions : “Often, a game scenario which uses multiple networks can be redesigned or simplified to only require a single network, and care should be taken to evaluate whether this is possible before designing your game's network architecture around multiple Party networks”, could you tell us why you want to have two PartyNetworks running at the same time? You can also tell us more details about your scenario.
Hi Neils,
No errors or anything the way I found out was by outputting the connection status of the two players, on one of the networks it says they are using direct peer to peer and on the other one it's the relay. These are two players both connected to two networks that have the same options.
As far as why I was trying this is because I have an Unreal game that at times requires full mesh topology amongst the players. Simple way of thinking of this is a 16 player lobby where the lobby connectivity is done in one network using Unreal's networking replication(which is host-client) and then as players in the lobby have their matches(1vs1) they would go off and create their new network and have their match then report back to the lobby. As far as a single network solution, I ended up implementing one but it isn't as clean, mostly I needed a way to differentiate between Unreal messages and my own match messages so I added a byte of information to all messages in order to differentiate it which is fine after some plugin modifications but it does add a byte to every message.
Could you tell us how you checked the connection status of the two players so that we can do some research? Are you using the SDK method or something else to check the connection status?
SDK method, GetDeviceConnectionType.
The ping coincided with a relay as well.
