Allocations

Note: The content on this page pertains to Managed Game Server Hosting (Clanforge). If you’re using Game Server Hosting (Multiplay), refer to the Game Server Hosting (Multiplay) documentation.

An allocation is a request to the Game Server Hosting API for the best possible game server for a game match. Allocation requests are part of the allocation system Game Server Hosting offers. The allocation system works with a matchmaker to connect a group of players to the best possible game server for their game match while taking into account:

  • The game server location
  • The quality of the connection between the game server and the game client
  • The game version of the game server
  • The cost score of the machine that’s hosting the game server
  • The map types of the game server
