Networking breakdown (Self-written socket based server)

• Master Network Server

  • Every player in a region (NA, SA, EU, AU, etc) connect to this server
  • This server contains logic for
    • Matchmaking
    • Online status updater
    • Party invites
    • Party forwarding
  • It contains a list of every in-game server and their status (In-Game, Out-of-game, Needs players)

• Party Server (Self-written socket based server)

  • All party servers are connected to the master network server and vice versa, and are based on that particular region
  • Every player is in a party at all times
  • Party servers contain arrays of parties which contain the party's data (Users connected, text chat, voice chat, and play mode)
  • A party server can have up to x parties before a new server is required. (Ideally new servers would be added or removed depending on our network load)

• In-Game Server (UNET)

  • Handles logic for in-game and is ran by an authoritative server in a specific network's region.

• Playfab backend

  • Contains backend data for user information
  • Handles friends lists
