Question Testing Lobby & Relay with multiple instances on single device.

Hi!

I'm working with Lobby and Relay, and I'm at the point where I'd like to test my game with 2 players. However, playing the game on the same machine won't work when logging in anonymously via the required authentication service as it's using the device token as identifier, causing the Lobby to think the same user is trying to connect for a second time. Which is in fact correct.

So when running two instances of the game next to each other, the second instance won't be able to connect to the lobby after the first instance has already done so. I can't find a way on either the forums or in the documentation to create my own token to get around this, albeit just for development purposes so I don't require multiple devices.

Any suggestions?

Cheers!

 

I was just about to post the same inquiry and saw this post.
Hopefully this can be released soon, it's a little difficult to do integration testing having to build, publish to steam and create a session with a tester

 

A solution to get this working on one machine is to rename the product name of the other unity project, then it will just work

 

Thanks for the update. I've followed the survey. Hope it helps.

Cheers!

 

if i want to log two local players into a lobby. into the same game. a 2 player game in one instance, not two single player games in separate instances, am I right in assuming here that his is not possible on UGS as the authentication does not support it, and therefore the lobby cannot support it?

thus furthermore the whole new UGS system is a no-no for any game using 2 local players connecting online?

 

Hello,
I fixed that issue creating a new anonymous account below, worked with ParrelSync well.

Code (CSharp):

1. #if UNITY_EDITOR
2.             AuthenticationService.Instance.ClearSessionToken();
3.             #endif
4.  
5.             await AuthenticationService.Instance.SignInAnonymouslyAsync();

 

Support for multiple profiles is implemented but might be not working as expected.

I get a problem where I'm able to login with a Profile (which creates a PlayerId) and create a Lobby.

Playing again I create a new Profile (and new PlayerId), and when creating a new lobby, it creates it with the HostId created in the previous Play session.

If attempting to create the lobby specifying the new player Id in CreateLobbyOptions with

Code (CSharp):

1. return new Player(
2.             id: AuthenticationService.Instance.PlayerId,
3.             data: new Dictionary<string, PlayerDataObject>()
4.             {
5.                 { "PlayerName", new PlayerDataObject(PlayerDataObject.VisibilityOptions.Member, _playerName) }
6.             });

I get the following error.

Note: when script is recompiled for any reason, I'm able to repeat the process, where I get to create a lobby once.

I'm currently trying to create a minimal repro, but maybe somebody could help already?

 

Setting unique profiles didn't really solve my problem of having multiple builds on the same device trying to connect to a lobby. The problem for me was the PlayerId, so not sure what the profiles is for. Although, I fixed my problem by using the following code. Similar to rahads post.
private async void Awake() {
if (!AuthenticationService.Instance.IsSignedIn)
{
AuthenticationService.Instance.ClearSessionToken(); // DELETE WHEN I AM DONE, THIS IS IMPORTANT. THIS IS PRETTY MUCH MAKING IT SO WE CREATE A NEW AUTHENTIFICATION FOR THE PLAYER EACH BUILD
await AuthenticationService.Instance.SignInAnonymouslyAsync();
playerId = AuthenticationService.Instance.PlayerId;
Debug.Log(playerId);
}
}
