A sample integration for the PlayFab Party Transport and coherence networking for player-hosted servers.
ℹ️ Download a release that matches the installed coherence SDK version to at least MAJOR.MINOR. For example, if you are using SDK v1.0.5 (MAJOR = 1, MINOR = 0), use v1.0.0. Check the list of releases on this repository.
The PlayFab Integration is using a combination of the PlayFab relay servers and an implementation of ICoherenceRelay to enable PlayFab users to connect and play with each other while avoiding NAT issues.
The ICoherenceRelay implementation allows for users to connect to the hosting client through PlayFab, and have the client forward their data packets to the user-hosted Replication Server.
PlayFabManagerwill initialize the PlayFabSDK and manage the joining and hosting of self-hosted servers.PlayfabConnectionUIis a simple sample for hosting and joining accessibility, that will provide a UI allowing you to join or host a game. On connection the UI shows the host and network IDs that can be copied to the clipboard.
