Question by Cristian Bontas · Oct 18 at 12:03 PM · Matchmaking

Match object duration (lifetime)

Hello

What is the duration (lifetime) of the match object created by the matchmaking service?

I.e., based on the description here, for how long will GetMatch return the information after the match was created?

>>> What is the duration (lifetime) of the match object created by the matchmaking service?

If clients have committed the qualified tickets, the matchmaking service has got them too, it will create the Match at once. The progress of creating the Match won’t take some time. But if you mean the duration from clients commit tickets to clients get the match, it will depend on the frequency of the poll. You can poll up to 10 times per minute. For instance, poll for the ticket status every 6 seconds. Clients may get the match after 6 seconds.

>>> I.e., based on the description here, for how long will GetMatch return the information after the match was created?

If clients get the MatchId successfully, they will provide the Id as a field to call GetMatch. GetMatch will return the info immediately.

Hello

What I mean is for how long will the matchmaker system keep the match information.

E.g., if I call GetMatch again (with the same arguments) 5 minutes after it was created, is it still around?

Match ID doesn't expire after 5 minutes, currently, it expires after an hour.

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know.
