Cannot get PlayFab/MPSSamples/UnityMirror working with PlayFab Build Deploy

Looking to use PlayFab services for our new title and starting with PlayFab/MpsSamples/UnityMirror...

Have the sample working local host on desktop docker...

Deploying this to playfab; the Client is unable to connect, error below from client log (can reproduce running in unity editor)...

I'm guessing there's something either in the client build or in the playfab server settting I have goofed up. Server deploys and is ready for connection. I can RDP to the server and it looks healthy...

On the client side do I put the public IP of the game server in the IP address for the network manager? or?

Open to any guidance folks have! :)

Client Recv: failed to connect to ip=xx.xx.xxx.xxx port=56100 reason=System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): Connection timed out at System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient.Connect (System.String hostname, System.Int32 port) [0x0019d] in <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:0 at Telepathy.Client.ReceiveThreadFunction (Telepathy.ClientConnectionState state, System.String ip, System.Int32 port, System.Int32 MaxMessageSize, System.Boolean NoDelay, System.Int32 SendTimeout, System.Int32 ReceiveTimeout, System.Int32 ReceiveQueueLimit) [0x00011] in <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:0 Shutting down client. disconnected

How do you get the IP address and port number? Is it returned from the callback result of RequestMultiplayerServer API or through GetMatch API when the matchmaking ticket is matched?

As I understand it, you've deployed UnityServer into PlayFab Multiplayer Servers (MPS). And now you are trying to connect to the server with UnityClient. In the Client, you set the IP address for the network manager to the one you've found in Game Manager and the Port remains to 56100.

This is not the right way to get the IP address and Port. As this sample doesn't use PlayFab Matchmaking, you can refer to Allocating multiplayer sessions to get the right IP address and Port. The easiest way would be using Postman to send a RequestMultiplayerServer request.

Once you've got the correct IP address and Port and set them in UnityClient properly, the client should be able to connect to your server hosted on MPS with no issue.

Hi Seth, thanks for the reply.

This is the straight PlayFab published MPS sample for working with unity and mirror.

Link: https://github.com/PlayFab/MpsSamples/tree/master/UnityMirror

I'm familiar with the notion of using RequestMultiplayerServer or GetMatch though I don't believe for this PlayFab published sample it uses that. I believe it simply authenticates and connect to the server though this is PlayFab's code not mine. Not a lot of code there; if you have a moment take a look. Figured I get it working with a PlayFab deployment before I started poking at the code for our title.

I have it working fine locally with Docker by specifying "localhost" in NetworkManager's Network Address.

What I tried for the PlayFab services deploy is to specify the public IP address of the game server as available on the game manager console with the Client project as the NetworkManager's Network Address.

Thoughts?

-Evan

@SethDu

had thought...is it that the MpsSample here is not intended to be deployable to PlayFab? Just for running local host?

The sample can be deployed on PlayFab, but there are additional configuration steps indicated by the tutorial. You cannot simply run locally without PlayFab VM agent because the server build requires certain network environment.

PlayFab also provides document about Locally debugging game servers and integration with PlayFab - PlayFab | Microsoft Docs for both container mode and process mode.

Hey! :)

Thanks for chiming in; That's actually what I used to get the local, desktop docker version to run. Challenge is how to get it to run when server piece is deployed to PlayFab services.

which is the port you are trying to connect to? In your original post it says "56100". I don't think this is the correct port, you should try and connect to the port that comes after a successful "RequestMultiplayerServer" call.

Make sure you have your mirror port exposed when you deploy the build. It's probably udp 7777.

Then, as Dmitris pointed out, you can get the ip address and port from RequestMultiplayerServer. You'll also need to make sure that the "Client Can start games" setting is enable on your title in playfab

Thanks to everyone for the replies. I got this working with full playfab deployment once I figured out that I had to get the port from the GetMatchResult. Appreciate everyone chiming in.
