    Code Typed HLAPI( C# ), Standalone authoritative server, WAN

    - How do you populate the networkMessage to the player connection?

    With:
    NetworkServer.RegisterHandler( MsgType.Connect, OnServerConnect );
    private void OnServerConnect( NetworkMessage networkMessage )
    { }

    For example networkMessage.conn.connectionId is always 1 on multiple connected clients, while the server does increase this figure.

    I think you can't change internal messages, they get populated automatically. If you want to send more, send your own message.

    I am not sure what you mean by sending more?
    I am talking about the first handshake between the client and the server, where the server assigns an ID to the client... this is not happening...a bug perhaps?

    I think it's normal that the connection on every client has the same ID since the server is the only connection they have. I would have expected 0, though.

    connectionIds are not shared between clients or the server. they are scoped to just the local instance.
