How do you create a game session in Unity?

[Crook]

Hello.

I believe the docs tell you to use “CreateGameSession” in order to create a game session. However, I cannot find “CreateGameSession” from within Unity. Was there a change or an update? Could you please provide an example snippet of how to do it with C#?

Hi @Crook, to create a game session you’ll want to use the AWS CLI in conjunction with GameLiftLocal. The documentation here will take you through the process:

• http://docs.aws.amazon.com/gamelift/latest/developerguide/integration-testing-local.html
  Once you’re ready to test with a real fleet just remove ‘–endpoint-url http://localhost:8080’ from the commands.

Which docs were you following? We can try to make it more clear for people in following them in the future.

I hope this helps!
