Third Party [Photon Pun2] Players not joining same lobby

I'm trying to make a 2 player board game in Unity but when testing, both the players create their own rooms instead of the first player creating a room and the second player joining that room. I thought the JoinOrCreateRoom function meant that it would look for a room with the name provided and if there wasn't a room with that name, it would create it. But that doesn't seem to be how it's working.

Code (CSharp):

1.     public override void OnConnectedToMaster()
2.     {
3.         Debug.Log("Connected");
4.         base.OnConnectedToMaster();
5.  
6.         RoomOptions roomOptions = new RoomOptions();
7.         roomOptions.MaxPlayers = 2;
8.         roomOptions.IsVisible = true;
9.         roomOptions.IsOpen = true;
10.  
11.         PhotonNetwork.JoinOrCreateRoom("Room 1", roomOptions, TypedLobby.Default);
12.     }

I've tried increasing the max players value of the room but it didn't work. I don't know what else to try; please help!

 

It is going to be rather hard to explain it a few messages. I would recommend that you join the Photon Discord server.

I believe you have to be in a lobby BTW (I don't know how it works outside of VR but I believe the same) in which case you may need to call JoinLobby from OnConnectedToMaster.

Best to get details from their Discord where they can probably point you to examples.

 

The likely issue is that your clients ended up in different regions (based on fluctuations when pinging servers).

There is a Matchmaking Checklist, which lists all factors that go into matchmaking and how to find / fix them.

 

I don't think so since because I'm just running the game twice on my pc by building the game and starting it and then entering play mode in the Unity editor
