Resolved Lobby Quick Join is not working?

Hello,

I am trying to implement a lobby quick join but its not working.

I will explain all the steps:

1. The first client creates a new Lobby:

Code (CSharp):

1. await LobbyService.Instance.CreateLobbyAsync( _lobbyName, 10);

* I am heart beating the lobby every 10 seconds.
* I also tried create it using the IsPrivate = false option

2. A second client tries to connect a lobby with the same _lobbyName

Code (CSharp):

1. QuickJoinLobbyOptions options = new QuickJoinLobbyOptions();
2.  
3.             options.Filter = new List<QueryFilter>()
4.             {
5.                 new QueryFilter(
6.                     field: QueryFilter.FieldOptions.Name,
7.                     op: QueryFilter.OpOptions.EQ,
8.                     value: _lobbyName)
9.             };
10.  
11.             _currentLobby = await LobbyService.Instance.QuickJoinLobbyAsync(options);

Its throwing a LobbyServiceException, basictly its not finding it.

I also tried a QuickJoinLobbyAsync with no options and had no success.

I did a LobbyService.Instance.QueryLobbiesAsync without any options filters in the second client just to be sure if the lobby was created by host, and it was, the lobby was in the result list. I think the QuickJoinLobby is not working or I am doing something wrong.

Any ideas?

 

I just changed my code to use QueryLobbiesAsync to get the lobby I want and it worked. I used the same filters used in JoinLobbyByIdAsync...

I am pretty sure it's a bug in JoinLobbyByIdAsync. I am using ParrelSync to test, I am not sure if it's related.

Another thing that I just realized is that when I do a SignInAnonymouslyAsync I get the same PlayerId on both unity instances, this was causing some issues in my code, once I was checking the HostId of the lobby to delete the lobby or just leave the lobby.

Is this the expected behavior of the Auth system? A SignInAnonymouslyAsync should not alway return a new user?

 

I just found a solution, the quick join was not working because I was trying to connect using the same user profile.

I just changed the InitializeUnityServicesAsync method. As I am using ParrelSync, I just use the argument to set the player profile.

https://docs.unity.com/authentication/ProfileManagement.html

Code (CSharp):

1. public async Task InitializeUnityServicesAsync()
2.     {
3.         var options = new InitializationOptions();
4.         if (ClonesManager.IsClone())
5.         {
6.             options.SetProfile(ClonesManager.GetArgument());
7.         }
8.         await UnityServices.InitializeAsync(options);
9.     }

Now the quick join is working just fine.

 

I was also struggling with this and didn't know what to do. This totally fixed it! Thank you.

 

Just a little tip. You do not need to do any checks, just set the profile to a random string.

Code (CSharp):

1.     private async Task Authenticate() {
2.         var options = new InitializationOptions();
3.         var profile = Guid.NewGuid().ToString().Substring(0, 8);
4.         options.SetProfile(profile);
5.  
6.         await UnityServices.InitializeAsync(options);
7.  
8.         await AuthenticationService.Instance.SignInAnonymouslyAsync();
9.     }
