In this video I cover how to upload your multiplayer game build to Unity Gaming Services (UGS) Multiplay, which will act as a scalable dedicated hosting platform with minimal setup needed. Then we will go over Matchmaker, a way to easily connect players together and host a match.
Before uploading to UGS Matchplay, we need to create a Dedicated Linux Server build of our game in Unity. For this we create a script to read the command line arguments passed to the game and determine if the build is the server. It is also recommended to set the target frame rate and disable v-sync.
In UGS, we will then create a build, a build config with our launch parameters, a fleet which will determine where our server will run, and then test it with a test allocation. We also enable Matchmaker within our project. Then back to Unity, we write some boilerplate code to connect our game to UnityGamingServices using the ip and passed in port, then find a matchmaker allocation which spins up a server. We also enable backfill to support players joining the match after it has started. On the client side we write a separate script where the client is signed in anonymously, enables UnityGamingServices, then tries to fill their matchmaking ticket to be assigned to the match. At the end of the video we also fix some bugs that become apparent when hosting the game on the UGS dedicated server platform.
