    Game version works when using Photon Cloud, but not by self-hosted server. Are there any methods to solve this problem? How to separate players if using one photon instance?

    It's not exactly solving my problems, but thanks anyway. I'm trying to separate players by "GameVersions". It works in photon cloud but not in self hosted server...

    I don't know how Photon works, but you can try generating two different sequences for game version when building your application. Take a look at Build Pipeline scripts.
    Then, you can exchange those sequences with the server to determine what version client runs. If it's not the same as specified -> do what you want to do.

    What @shvez forgot to say is that the split of players by GameVersion is not built in to Photon OnPremise (the Server SDK).
    Actually, this was left out of the SDK, as it makes things a lot more complicated (everything has to be a virtual app, etc). Head over to our forum and poke Ilya, to continue the discussion and get more help please.
