Contents

Note

In the following list, the required parameters are described first.

LatencyInMs

A set of values, expressed in milliseconds, that indicates the amount of latency that a player experiences when connected to @aws; Regions. If this property is present, FlexMatch considers placing the match only in Regions for which latency is reported.

If a matchmaker has a rule that evaluates player latency, players must report latency in order to be matched. If no latency is reported in this scenario, FlexMatch assumes that no Regions are available to the player and the ticket is not matchable.
