[LLAPI] Multiple hosts on the same machine

Unity Engine
1

Hi,

I’m messing around with the LLAPI of UNET. How does the Unity HLAPI create hosts if you run multiple instances of your game on the same machine? If I do this with my implementation I get an error that the websocket is already in use. My workaround is to use different ports in the editor and in the build.

different ports.

i have a debug scene that loads in before my game which has a menu where i can specify a port if i need to switch it.

if you’re looking to automate it somewhat, you could choose a starting port, then just sequentially test like the next 10 ports to see if they’re in use.

Thank you!
