Multiplayer - Not possible to join as HOST anymore

Hey everyone

I was working on a multiplayer game for the past week.

Yesterday evening all was fine, but when i wanted to continue today, i realised that the first client opening the game does no longer become the host as usual.

I asked myself if i messed up something and re-opened the original realtime multiplayer shooter file (which i used as template). Same happens when i launch that project.

Went one level down and opened the chat tutorial. This one works. I become the host when i launch the project.

What happened since midnight??? What is the difference? The signalling/log in code in chat tutorial, rt-shooter and my own project look identical to me.

Anybody has any clue?

I also can't figure out a way to FORCE myself to be the host. If i understand correctly the first who enters the game should be the host and there's no way around?

that's how the log looks on first browser window.

also there seems to be 2 peers connected (should be only 1 as to my understanding?)

and there's a peer joining with weird cyrillic letters as username.

Changing RoomName and GameName fixed it. Seemingly someone else can be in the same room with their own game or something. So they became my host..?

If the games have the same names, and instance names, and join the same room name then yes, they can connect to totally different games.

Give your game name a unique-ish name and you should be fine.

Using another (your own) signal server also works, as your both likely using Scirra's.
