Multiplayer Matchmaking Help with 'Network Lobby' Asset

Hi

I'm an indie game developer and I've created a game that uses the 'Network Lobby' from the 'Asset Store'. I understand that using Unity's 'Cloud Multiplayer Service' for the match making incurs costs based on the number of players or the amount of bandwidth used.

The free version only allows 20 CCU (I'm guessing that stands for 'Concurrent Users') which isn't a lot for a an FPS

Can I change the 'Network Lobby' to use a free way of doing a match maker service? Does anyone have an example of how to achieve this?

Thanks
Ven

 

I think you are mixing up the relay and matchmaking service. You can replace the relay service with something like nat-traversal

 

Hi @VenUk I think I might have more or less what you're looking for.

Check out my NAT Traversal plugin on the asset store. It allows you to make connections without using the relays, or optionally to use the relays but only as a fallback to other connection methods like NAT punch through.

It should reduce your costs about as much as possible.

Cheers.

 

Excellent thanks for the information guys much appreciated
