Active build configuration
Warning: We are winding down our direct support for the Unity Multiplay Game Server Hosting Service. Unity will support the Multiplay Game Server Hosting Service through March 31, 2026. To ensure continuity for live titles, we are licensing our Multiplay Game Server Hosting software to Rocket Science Group. Learn more about them here.
Allocations drive Multiplay Hosting fleets by propagating configuration changes to servers as they’re necessary to fulfill player demand. One such configuration is the active build configuration.
A matchmaker controls servers' active build configuration in a typical production environment by requesting servers to meet player needs. But it’s also possible to manually allocate a server with a build configuration.
The simplest ways to change the active build configuration of a server are to:
- Use the Allocations API to allocate the server with the build configuration you want to run.
- Create a test allocation with the build configuration.
