Get the region of an active game

Hi,

I was wondering if there's a way for a game server to know its own region. I know it's possible to retrieve all the possible regions where a given build can instantiate game servers, but I would like to know if there's a way (an API call or something) for a game server to know its region. Please note we need to know that while the game server is still running and not for a finished session.

To further clarify the issue, this is the parameter we need: http://i.imgur.com/PoZlnd3.jpg

Thanks in advance,

Alberto

Yes, one of the default command line parameters passed into any hosted server is server_host_region. That's specifically a string containing that information. You can read more about the command line parameters in the custom game server tutorial, here: https://api.playfab.com/docs/custom-game-servers.
