    Host Migration will work only for LAN games?

    From Unity Roadmap, it says that

    Networking: Host Migration

    Support for migrating the "host" of a network game to be one of the non-host clients when the host is disconnected or crashes. This should allow the game to continue with only a slight interruption for the other players.

    This will work with the network HLAPI for LAN games.

    What's about internet games? Is it going to work on that?

    Thanks for the info. Any thought on if it will work similar to the host migration just released?

    Is there an update when this will be available? Photon simply did this automatically and just fired an event when this happened. It's way more likely for someone to lose connection over the Internet then on a LAN.
