pun | v2 switch to v1  

Migration Notes

PUN 2 aggregates a lot of breaking changes and updates in one package but the overall usage will be similar to PUN as you know it. It is a separate package from PUN 1.x so you can choose when to update. Also, you can go back anytime.

If you use PUN Plus (v1.x) and want to update to PUN 2, please use your existing AppId with the PUN 2 Free package! All benefits carry over.

To update, it's best to completely remove PUN and do a clean install of PUN 2 to make the necessary API and logic changes. Below, you will find the biggest changes but the list may be incomplete.

Overview

  • PUN 2 now includes and makes use of the Realtime API, which is less Unity specific.
  • There are two distinct namespaces for the two layers: Photon.Pun and Photon.Realtime.
  • Best Region selection and a system for callbacks are now done in the Realtime API. The regions enum is gone.
  • Only ConnectUsingSettings() is making use of the PhotonServerSettings.
  • Many callbacks, methods and fields were renamed for various reasons. Read more here.
  • For callbacks a class has to implement an interface and register itself as interested. Read more here.
  • MonoBehaviourPunCallbacks implements most callbacks so you can inherit and override them. Read more here.

API Changes

  • PhotonNetwork.autoJoinLobby and ServerSettings.JoinLobby are gone. Unless you need a lobby, don't join them.
  • PhotonNetwork.GetRoomList() is gone. You get rooms list and updates from ILobbyCallbacks.OnRoomListUpdate(List<RoomInfo> roomList) callback. You can optionally cache it, update it and clear it when needed.
  • PhotonNetwork.Friends is gone. You get friends list from IMatchmakingCallbacks.OnFriendListUpdate(List<FriendInfo> friendList) callback. You can optionally cache it, update it and clear it when needed.
  • PhotonNetwork.LobbyStatistics is gone. When enabled, you can get lobby statistics list from ILobbyCallbacks.OnLobbyStatisticsUpdate(List<TypedLobbyInfo> lobbyStatistics) callback. You can optionally cache it, update it and clear it when needed.
  • PhotonNetwork.connecting is gone.
  • PhotonNetwork.connectionState is gone.
  • PhotonNetwork.isNonMasterClientInRoom is gone.
  • PhotonNetwork.autoCleanUpPlayerObjects is gone. The setting is per room, so it's now in the RoomOptions. Example: PhotonNetwork.CreateRoom(null, new RoomOptions() { CleanupCacheOnLeave = true });.
  • PhotonNetwork.networkingPeer is gone. The tasks it covered are either now handled directly in the PhotonNetwork class or in the PhotonNetwork.NetworkingClient.
  • PhotonNetwork.ConnectUsingSettings() no longer takes gameVersion parameter. Instead the AppVersion parameter set from the Unity Editor in the PhotonServerSettings, AppSettings section is used as PhotonNetwork.GameVersion. If you want to set the PhotonNetwork.GameVersion from code you could either
    • set PhotonNetwork.GameVersion just after calling PhotonNetwork.ConnectUsingSettings()
    • set PhotonNetwork.PhotonServerSettings.AppSettings.AppVersion before calling PhotonNetwork.ConnectUsingSettings()
  • Only ConnectUsingSettings() is making use of PhotonServerSettings. When using the other connect-methods, the app needs to set AppId and other values manually (and the settings won't override those values).
  • ServerSettings.EnableLobbyStatistics is moved to ServerSettings.AppSettings.EnableLobbyStatistics.
  • ServerSettings.AppID is moved to ServerSettings.AppSettings.AppIdRealtime.
  • ServerSettings.VoiceAppID is moved to ServerSettings.AppSettings.AppIdVoice.
  • ServerSettings.ChatAppID is moved to ServerSettings.AppSettings.AppIdChat.
  • ServerSettings.NetworkLogging is moved to ServerSettings.AppSettings.NetworkLogging.
  • ServerSettings.ServerAddress is moved to ServerSettings.AppSettings.Server.
  • ServerSettings.ServerPort is moved to ServerSettings.AppSettings.Port.
  • ServerSettings.Protocol is moved to ServerSettings.AppSettings.Protocol.
  • In PUN2, the UserId will no longer be set to the Nickname in case the former was not set. This used to be the case for PUN1.
  • PhotonNetwork.LoadLevelAsync() is gone. PhotonNetwork.LoadLevel is always async by default and by design in PUN2. To get the level loading progress, use PhotonNetwork.LevelLoadingProgress.

Callbacks Changes

You can read more about new callabcks on this page.

  • All callback interfaces except IPunInstantiateMagicCallback must be registered and unregistered.
    Call PhotonNetwork.AddCallbackTarget(this) and PhotonNetwork.RemoveCallbackTarget(this) (likely within OnEnable() and OnDisable() respectivly)

  • Replace Photon.PunBehaviour with MonoBehaviourPunCallbacks.
    Always call the base class methods if you override OnEnable() and OnDisable() for MonoBehaviourPunCallbacks

  • PhotonNetwork.OnEventCall is gone.
    You have two options:

    1. use PhotonNetwork.NetworkingClient.EventReceived(EventData) instead.
    2. use IOnEventCallback.OnEvent(EventData).

    In PUN2, events callback signature changed but you can get what you need from EventData. Also, events callback will be triggered for all events and not only custom events (custom event code < 200).

In the table below, method parameters are shown only when method signatures are different between PUN1 and PUN2.
