Last updated 2 years ago

To enable matchmaking in your project, you require few additional step's for game. Here are step's for both Dedicated and Listen Servers.

Here is the different between Listen and Dedicated Servers:

A listen server is a type of game server that is created by a player who is simultaneously hosting and playing the game. This means that the game server runs on the player's own computer or console and other players connect to the game through the player's IP address. The advantage of a listen server is that it is relatively easy to set up and requires no additional hardware. However, it may be less stable and have limitations on the number of players that can connect.

On the other hand, a dedicated server is a type of game server that runs on a separate machine or server. It is designed specifically to host the game and manage player connections. Dedicated servers are generally more stable and reliable than listen servers, and can support larger numbers of players. They also often have more advanced configuration options, such as the ability to run mods or custom scripts.

In summary, a listen server is a server hosted by a player in the game, while a dedicated server is a separate machine or server specifically designed to host the game.
