Stop Unity from disconnecting while debugging in VS

[RZGames_Jethro]

Is there a way to prevent a disconnect or network shutdown when hooked up to VS for debugging?

Increase the timeout?

ok thanks, not super clear, but i guess it’s this?

 Increasing our FixedTimeStep setting to a ridiculous value (something as high as 0.2) helps to have more time to see what’s going on.

Hello @RZGames_Jethro ,

I think CodeSmile was referring to this part:

Using breakpoints to debug a Client or Server
You can use breakpoints to debug a game, but your connection may time out if you stay too long in this mode. Since it pauses your game, you can temporarily increase the timeout value to avoid disconnecting.

Does that help?

certainly, where do we find the TimeOut Value?

You can do it by code (see the UTP 2.0 FAQs):

How can I change the connection/disconnection timeouts?
You can change connection and disconnection timeouts through custom when creating the NetworkDriver component:

var settings = new NetworkSettings();
settings.WithNetworkConfigParameters(
    connectTimeoutMS: 500,
    maxConnectAttempts: 10,
    disconnectTimeoutMS: 10000);

var driver = NetworkDriver.Create(settings);

This code creates a NetworkDriver where establishing a connection fails after five seconds (with a maximum of 10 attempts, every 500 milliseconds). It also closes connections after 10 seconds of inactivity. The defaults are respectively one minute (60 attempts every second) and 30 seconds.

Or directly from the inspector:

Hope that helps!
