Matchmaking SDK Guide

Multiplayer Overview

The STPVE game platform provides matchmaking, chat rooms, friend lists, moderator functions, and related APIs that you can apply to games in a multiplayer environment. Among them, the matchmaking system is a service that allows users to enjoy games together. It provides low network latency regardless of where various game users access from any region. It gathers game users in a shared space (matching). Chat messages and data are transmitted and transferred to game users connected to play games together in real-time.

We provide various network services to send chat messages and data to matched game users in real-time.

• Supports sending real-time chat messages through encrypted and secure sessions.
• Supports peer-to-peer networking for real-time data transmission of small games.
• Supports UDP relay for games where real-time transmission is essential, such as battles and FPS.

Developers only need to select which network service to use and which service to use.

Introduction to Multiplayer

The matchmaking system consists of a matchmaking server and a client SDK. Contact Stove Indie Team (opens new window) to register a game on the matchmaking server and develop game user matching with the matchmaking client SDK.

The role of the matchmaking system is to bring individual game players or their friends together in one place (the lobby) to enjoy the game together. The matchmaking system collects game users (the lobby) through three methods. It relays them so that they can enjoy the game together.

• The first method is random matching. Game users request quick entry to the matchmaking server. The server automatically directs users to the appropriate lobby and matches them. This method is easy to develop and can simplify the game user UI.
• The second method is search matching. Game users can set search conditions according to the characteristics defined in each game and select a list of lobbies that satisfy the requirements. In this way, It matches players of the same level as possible to develop a game that they can play at an appropriate difficulty level.
• The third method is to invite friends. Game users can invite their friends to play games together in the lobby I entered.

The matchmaking client SDK (Unity) makes it easy to apply the matchmaking system to your game.

Matchmaking Random Matching Process

The following is how to play a game by randomly matching after connecting to the matchmaking server.

1. Select the kind of multiplayer you want to play in the game. (ex. Difficulty: [Easy, Hard], Scenario: [Map 1, Map 2] )
2. Enter the game lobby by calling the lobby random entry API with one of the values ​selected by the game user.
   • When a game user calls the lobby random entry API with the following values ​​(difficulty = easy and scenario = map 1), it automatically finds and enters a lobby or creates a lobby.
3. Wait until it reaches the minimum number of players required to start the game.
4. It transmits data on character or user settings between game users who enter the lobby.
   • Chat API is provided to allow conversations between game users.
5. The lobby manager will start the game when the game is ready to start.
   • You can send and receive game data through the data transmission API. (P2P or UDP relay)
6. When the game ends, the lobby manager ends the game, and the lobby automatically disappears.

Unity C# Code Guide

Describes how to use the Matchmaking SDK (Unity).

1) Initialize matchmaking

Call the initialization method

After filling in the necessary values ​​to initialize the matchmaking SDK, call the SDK.Initialize method.

using Stove.PCSDK.NET.Matchmaking;

bool result = SDK.Initialize();
if (true == result)
{
    // Here, after successful initialization, the game logic
}
else
{
    // handle initialization failure here
}

You must log in to the stove launcher before calling the SDK.Initialize method. Otherwise, initialization will fail.

How to check when initialization fails

You can check the reason for the error in the log folder (./log) matchmaking_xmpp_date.log file.

2) End of matchmaking

it calls after use of matchmaking to clean up resources in use. It deletes the delegate registered for matchmaking and all information entered.

using Stove.PCSDK.NET.Matchmaking;

SDK.Uninitialize();

3) RunCallback

Matchmaking's API is mainly asynchronous to avoid interfering with the game engine and logic.

• After the API call, it loads the result from the matchmaking server into the SDK internal queue.
• Call the RunCallback method when the game wants to process the received result.
• Callbacks loaded in the queue are executed sequentially.

Unity provides a means to call specific methods periodically.

using Stove.PCSDK.NET.Matchmaking;

private FixedUpdate()
{
    // Called repeatedly every fixed frame
    SDK.RunCallback();
}

4) Connect to the matchmaking server

Server Connection API

Connect to the matchmaking server with the SDK.Connect method.

using Stove.PCSDK.NET.Matchmaking;

// Issued member token
string accessToken = token.AccessToken;
// member member number (user ID)
string UID = user.MemberNo;
// nickname
string nickname = user.Nickname;
SDK.Connect(accessToken, UID, nickname);

Server connection callback

To receive a callback for server connection, you must register a delegate in advance. When the SDK.Connect method is processed, it calls the nConnect callback.

// Register the server connection delegate
SDK.EventConnect += GameObj.OnConnect;

private void OnConnect(StovePCMatchmakingError error)
{
    // successful connection to matchmaking server
    // Process the next game logic, such as moving the scene
    if (error.result == StovePCMatchmakingResult.NO_ERROR)
    {
        GameManager.Instance.LoadModScene();
    }
    // Failed to connect to matchmaking server
    // error handling
    else
    {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        // error code
        sb.AppendFormat(" - fail code : {0}", error.result);
        // If there is a specific error
        sb.AppendFormat(" - fail message : {0}", error.message);

        Debug.Log(sb.ToString());
    }
}

error.result(error code) can be checked in StovePCMatchmakingResult. It passes more specific error content to error.message.

5) Terminate the connection from the matchmaking server

Server Connection Termination API

Disconnect from the matchmaking server with the SDK.Disconnect method.

using Stove.PCSDK.NET.Matchmaking;

SDK.Disconnect()

Server connection termination callback

To receive a callback for server connection termination, you must register a delegate in advance. When the SDK.Disconnect method is successfully processed. It calls the OnDisconnect callback.

using Stove.PCSDK.NET.Matchmaking;

// Register the server connection termination delegate
SDK.EventDisconnect += GameObj.OnDisconnect;

// Close the matchmaking server connection
private void OnDisconnect(StovePCMatchmakingError error, StovePCMatchmakingDisconnectCode code)
{
    switch (code)
    {
        // When the connection is terminated by calling the Disconnect API
        case StovePCMatchmakingDisconnectCode.DISCONNECT_CLIENT:
            break;
        // Close the client connection from the matchmaking server
        case StovePCMatchmakingDisconnectCode.DISCONNECT_SERVER:
            break;
        // disconnected due to ping timeout (network unstable)
        case StovePCMatchmakingDisconnectCode.DISCONNECT_BY_HOST:
            break;
        // Close connection due to duplicate login
        case StovePCMatchmakingDisconnectCode.DISCONNECT_CONFLICT:
            break;
    }

    //Process the following game logic, such as moving the scene
}

code (exit code) can be found in ‘StovePCMatchmakingDisconnectCode’. It passes more specific error content to error.message.

Additional information

Since it may terminate the connection from the server due to regular maintenance, etc., it is necessary to check the connection termination code. Suppose you log in as the same User in another launcher. In that case, it will terminate the current connection, so appropriate handling is required.

6) Entry to the matchmaking lobby

You can participate in the desired lobby when entering the lobby by providing search conditions. It set the search condition with metadata (StovePCMatchmakingMetadata).

lobby metadata

using Stove.PCSDK.NET.Matchmaking;

// Define the key value of metadata
public struct LOBBY_META_KEY
{
    public const string DEFFICULTY_TYPE_KEY = "DefficultyType";
    public const string GAMEMODE_TYPE_KEY = "GameModeType";
    public const string ROOM_TYPE_KEY = "RoomType";
    public const string STAGE_TYPE_KEY = "StageType";
}

// game difficulty
public struct Difficulty
{
    public string value; //meta value
    public string name; //Name to be displayed in UI
    public bool isDefault; // Whether to select the default (if there are multiple, use the first one.)
    public string resourcePath; //resource path to display UI
}

// game mode
public struct mode
{
    public string value; //meta value
    public string name; //Name to be displayed in UI
    public
bool isDefault; // Whether to select the default (if there are multiple, use the first one.)
    public string resourcePath; //resource path to display UI
    public bool isBattleMode; // UI changes depending on whether or not there is a battle mode.
    public string[] roomValues; // Room information used in the mod meta value
}

// set the room
public struct room
{
    public string value; //meta value
    public int maxUser; //Maximum number of people
    public string name; //Name to be displayed in UI
    public string resourcePath; //resource path to display UI
}

//game stage
public struct stage
{
    public string value; //meta value
    public string name; //Name to be displayed in UI
    public bool isDefault; // Whether to select the default (if there are multiple, use the first one.)
    public string resourcePath; //resource path to display UI
}

Defficulty.value = "Beginner";
Mode.value = "Arcade";
Room.value = "Arcade2";

List<StovePCMatchmakingMetadata> metaList = new List<StovePCMatchmakingMetadata>()
{
    // set first meta data
    // key = "DefficultyType", value = "Beginner"
    new StovePCMatchmakingMetadata(LOBBY_META_KEY.DEFFICULTY_TYPE_KEY, Defficulty.value),
    // set the second metadata
    // key = "GameModType", value = "Arcade"
    new StovePCMatchmakingMetadata(LOBBY_META_KEY.GAMEMODE_TYPE_KEY, Mode.value),
    // set the third metadata
    // key = "RoomType", value = "Arcade2"
    new StovePCMatchmakingMetadata(LOBBY_META_KEY.ROOM_TYPE_KEY, Room.value),
};

Lobby Entry API

Enter the matchmaking lobby with the SDK.JoinRandomLobby method. You automatically enter one of the lobbies that match your search criteria.

using Stove.PCSDK.NET.Matchmaking;

List<StovePCMatchmakingMetadata> metaList = new List<StovePCMatchmakingMetadata>()
{
    // set first meta data
    // key = "DefficultyType", value = "Beginner"
    new StovePCMatchmakingMetadata(LOBBY_META_KEY.DEFFICULTY_TYPE_KEY, Defficulty.value),
    // set the second metadata
    // key = "GameModType", value = "Arcade"
    new StovePCMatchmakingMetadata(LOBBY_META_KEY.GAMEMODE_TYPE_KEY, Mode.value),
    // set the third metadata
    // key = "RoomType", value = "Arcade2"
    new StovePCMatchmakingMetadata(LOBBY_META_KEY.ROOM_TYPE_KEY, Room.value),
}

// When creating a lobby, the maximum number of users that can enter the lobby
int maxUser = 4;
SDK.JoinRandomLobby(metaList.ToArray(), maxUser);

If you find multiple lobbies, you will enter one of the lobbies at random. It is created based on the search criteria if it locates no lobby. When creating a lobby, the User becomes the moderator. You can check the user rating through the StovePCMatchmakingAffiliation in the OnUserJoin callback.

lobby callback

If an error occurs while the SDK.JoinRandomLobby method is running, you can check the contents in error.result (error code) StovePCMatchmakingResult.

To receive multiple callbacks to the lobby, you must register a delegate in advance.

• When you enter the lobby, OnJoinLobby => (OnUserJoin * number of users including yourself) is called consecutively.
• Whenever another user enters the lobby, the OnUserJoin callback is called. ** You can check user rating through StovePCMatchmakingAffiliation in the OnUserJoin callback.
• Whenever another user leaves the lobby, the OnUserLeave callback is called.
• When leaving the lobby, the OnLeaveLobby callback is called. ** In addition to API calls, it also calls when it forces you to leave due to lobby kick/ban, lobby deletion, etc.
• When the moderator leaves, it transfers the moderator to the entry order and calls the OnUserUpdate callback. ** In the OnUserUpdate callback, you can check the User's information who it has transferred.

using Stove.PCSDK.NET.Matchmaking;

// lobby related delegate
// Register lobby entry delegate
SDK.EventJoinLobby += GameObj.OnJoinLobby;
// Register the user entry delegate in the lobby
SDK.EventUserJoin += GameObj.OnUserJoin;
// Register the user information update delegate in the lobby
SDK.EventUserUpdate += GameObj.OnUserUpdate;
// Register the user exit delegate in the lobby
SDK.EventUserLeave += GameObj.OnUserLeave;
// Register lobby exit delegate
SDK.EventLeaveLobby += GameObj.OnLeaveLobby;

// Enter the matchmaking lobby
private void OnJoinLobby(StovePCMatchmakingError error, StovePCMatchmakingJoinLobby joinLobby)
{
    // Process the next game logic, such as moving the scene
    if (error.result == StovePCMatchmakingResult.NO_ERROR)
    {

    }
    // error handling
    else
    {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        // error code
        sb.AppendFormat(" - fail code : {0}", error.result);
        // If there is a specific error
        sb.AppendFormat(" - fail message : {0}", error.message);

        Debug.Log(sb.ToString());
    }
}

//User enters the lobby (including myself)
private void OnUserJoin(StovePCMatchmakingError error, StovePCMatchmakingUserJoin userJoin)
{
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    // Unique Lobby ID
    sb.AppendFormat("lobby = {0}", userJoin.lobby);
    // user ID
    sb.AppendFormat("userID = {0}", userJoin.UID);
    // user nickname
    sb.AppendFormat("userNickname = {0}", nickname);
    // User rating in the lobby ( 0 = Normal, 4 = Moderator )
    sb.AppendFormat("affiliation = {0}", userJoin.affiliation);
    // User metadata, storage space of the user in the lobby
    foreach(var data in userJoin.userDataArray)
    {
        sb.AppendFormat("meta {0} = {1}", data.key, data.value);
    }
    Debug.Log(sb.ToString());

    //Process game logic
}

// Update user information (including me) in the lobby
private void OnUserUpdate(StovePCMatchmakingError error, StovePCMatchmakingUpdateLobbyUser userUpdate)
{
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    // Unique Lobby ID
    sb.AppendFormat("lobby = {0}", userUpdate.lobby);
    // user ID
    sb.AppendFormat("userID = {0}", userUpdate.UID);
    // user nickname
    sb.AppendFormat("userNickname = {0}", userUpdate.nickname);
    // User rating in the lobby ( 0 = Normal, 4 = Moderator )
    sb.AppendFormat("affiliation = {0}", userUpdate.affiliation);
    // User metadata, storage space of the user in the lobby
    foreach(var data in userUpdate.userDataArray)
    {
        sb.Appe
ndFormat("meta {0} = {1}", data.key, data.value);
    }
    Debug.Log(sb.ToString());

    //Process game logic
}

// Exit another user from the lobby
private void OnUserLeave(StovePCMatchmakingError error, StovePCMatchmakingUserLeave userLeave)
{
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    // Unique Lobby ID
    sb.AppendFormat("lobby = {0}", userLeave.lobby);
    // user ID
    sb.AppendFormat("userID = {0}", userLeave.userID);
    // user nickname
    sb.AppendFormat("userNickname = {0}", userLeave.nickname);
    // Reason code for user leaving (You can check the contents in `StovePCMatchmakingResult`)
    sb.AppendFormat("leaveCode = {0}", error.result);

    Debug.Log(sb.ToString());

    //reason for leaving the lobby of other users
    switch(error.result)
    {
        // Leave the lobby by calling the API
        case StovePCMatchmakingResult.NO_ERROR:
            break;
        // the manager kicks
        case StovePCMatchmakingResult.USER_KICKED:
            break;
        // moderator van
        case StovePCMatchmakingResult.USER_BANNED:
            break;
        // Moderator deletes lobby
        case StovePCMatchmakingResult.USER_ROOM_DESTROYED:
            break;
        // Remove lobby from server
        case StovePCMatchmakingResult.USER_ROOM_SHUTDOWN:
            break;
        // Remove lobby due to operational issue
        case StovePCMatchmakingResult.ROOM_DELETED_AS_OPERATIONAL:
            break;
    }

    //Process game logic
}

The lobby ID is unique to the lobby. You can use it when calling other lobby-related APIs.

In the lobby, you must call the RunCallback method periodically because other users can enter, update information, or receive messages.

7) Exit the matchmaking lobby

Lobby Exit API

Leave the matchmaking lobby with the SDK.LeaveLobby method.

using Stove.PCSDK.NET.Matchmaking;

string lobby = this.lobby;
SDK.LeaveLobby(lobby);

lobby callback

If an error occurs while the SDK.LeaveLobby method is running, you can check the contents in error.result (error code) StovePCMatchmakingResult.

To receive a callback about leaving the lobby, you must register a delegate in advance.

It calls the OnLeaveLobby callback when I leave the lobby. It is also called back when it forces you to leave the lobby due to lobby kick/ban by the host or lobby deletion. For other users, it calls the OnUserLeave callback.

using Stove.PCSDK.NET.Matchmaking;

// Register lobby exit delegate
SDK.EventLeaveLobby += GameObj.OnLeaveLobby;

// Leave the lobby
private void OnLeaveLobby(StovePCMatchmakingError error, StovePCMatchmakingLeaveLobby leaveLobby)
{
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    // Unique Lobby ID
    sb.AppendFormat("lobby = {0}", lobby);
    // Reason code for user leaving (You can check the contents in `StovePCMatchmakingResult`)
    sb.AppendFormat("leaveCode = {0}", error.result);

    Debug.Log(sb.ToString());

    // Reason for leaving the lobby
    switch(error.result)
    {
        // Leave the lobby by calling the API
        case StovePCMatchmakingResult.NO_ERROR:
            break;
        // the manager kicks
        case StovePCMatchmakingResult.USER_KICKED:
            break;
        // moderator van
        case StovePCMatchmakingResult.USER_BANNED:
            break;
        // Moderator deletes lobby
        case StovePCMatchmakingResult.USER_ROOM_DESTROYED:
            break;
        // Remove lobby from server
        case StovePCMatchmakingResult.USER_ROOM_SHUTDOWN:
            break;
        // Remove lobby due to operational issue
        case StovePCMatchmakingResult.ROOM_DELETED_AS_OPERATIONAL:
            break;
    }

    //Process game logic
}

You can check the contents of StovePCMatchmakingResult through error.result if it has kicked off you.

8) Send and receive matchmaking lobby chat messages

Lobby Chat Message Send API

Send a chat message to all users in the matchmaking lobby with the SDK.SendLobbyMsg method.

using Stove.PCSDK.NET.Matchmaking;

string lobby = this.lobby;
string message = "Chat message";
string myProfile = "http://ontove.myprofile";
SDK.SendLobbyMsg(lobby, message, myProfile);

Chat messages are subject to bans. It sends messages filtered for nonsense words in the form "****". The last parameter (myProfile) transmits data without applying a ban. You can use it when sending JSON string / my profile URI.

Lobby chat message sending/receiving a callback

If an error occurs while the SDK.SendLobbyMsg method is running, you can check the contents in error.result (error code) StovePCMatchmakingResult.

To receive callbacks for lobby chat, you must register a delegate in advance.

It calls the OnSendLobbyMessage callback when I send a chat message to the lobby. It calls the OnRecvLobbyMessage callback when it receives another user's chat message in the lobby.

using Stove.PCSDK.NET.Matchmaking;

// Register lobby chat send a delegate
SDK.EventSendLobbyMessage += GameObj.OnSendLobbyMessage;
// Register the lobby chat receiving delegate
SDK.EventRecvLobbyMessage += GameObj.OnRecvLobbyMessage;

// send chat in lobby
private void OnSendLobbyMessage(StovePCMatchmakingError error, StovePCMatchmakingSendLobbyMessage sendLobbyMessage)
{
    // process game logic
    if (error.result == StovePCMatchmakingResult.NO_ERROR)
    {

    }
    // error handling
    else
    {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        // error code
        sb.AppendFormat(" - fail code : {0}", error.result);
        // If there is a specific error
        sb.AppendFormat(" - fail message : {0}", error.message);

        Debug.Log(sb.ToString());
    }
}

// Receive chat in lobby
private void OnRecvLobbyMessage(StovePCMatchmakingError error, StovePCMatchmakingRecvLobbyMessage recvLobbyMessage)
{
    // process game logic
    if (error.result == StovePCMatchmakingResult.NO_ERROR)
    {

    }
    // error handling
    else
    {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        // error code
        sb.AppendFormat(" - fail code : {0}", error.result);
        // If there is a specific error
        sb.AppendFormat(" - fail message : {0}", error.messa
ge);

        Debug.Log(sb.ToString());
    }
}

You should call the RunCallback method periodically because the lobby may receive other user messages.

9) Send and receive matchmaking lobby data

Lobby Data Transfer API

Send data to all users in the matchmaking lobby with the SDK.SendLobbyBinarydata method.

using Stove.PCSDK.NET.Matchmaking;

string lobby = this.lobby;
byte[] data = new byte[5]{ (byte)'h', (byte)'e', (byte)'l', (byte)'l', (byte)'o', };
string myProfile = "http://ontove.myprofile";
SDK.SendLobbyBinarydata(lobby, data, myProfile);

Data is not subject to kinks. The last parameter (myProfile) transmits information, and you can use it when sending JSON string / my profile URI.

Lobby data sending/receiving callback

If an error occurs while the SDK.SendLobbyBinarydata method is running, you can check the contents in error.result (error code) StovePCMatchmakingResult.

You must register a delegate in advance to receive callbacks for lobby data.

When I send data to the lobby, it calls the OnSendLobbyBinarydata callback. It calls the OnRecvLobbyBinarydata callback when receiving data from another user in the lobby.

using Stove.PCSDK.NET.Matchmaking;

// Register the lobby data transfer delegate
SDK.EventSendLobbyBinarydata += GameObj.OnSendLobbyBinarydata;
// Register the lobby data receiving delegate
SDK.EventRecvLobbyBinarydata += GameObj.OnRecvLobbyBinarydata;

// send data from lobby
private void OnSendLobbyBinarydata(StovePCMatchmakingError error, StovePCMatchmakingSendLobbyBinarydata sendLobbyBinarydata)
{
    // process game logic
    if (error.result == StovePCMatchmakingResult.NO_ERROR)
    {

    }
    // error handling
    else
    {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        // error code
        sb.AppendFormat(" - fail code : {0}", error.result);
        // If there is a specific error
        sb.AppendFormat(" - fail message : {0}", error.message);

        Debug.Log(sb.ToString());
    }
}

// receive data from lobby
private void OnRecvLobbyMessage(StovePCMatchmakingError error, StovePCMatchmakingRecvLobbyBinarydata recvLobbyBinarydata)
{
    // process game logic
    if (error.result == StovePCMatchmakingResult.NO_ERROR)
    {

    }
    // error handling
    else
    {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        // error code
        sb.AppendFormat(" - fail code : {0}", error.result);
        // If there is a specific error
        sb.AppendFormat(" - fail message : {0}", error.message);

        Debug.Log(sb.ToString());
    }
}

You should call the RunCallback method periodically because the lobby can receive other user data.

10) Start Matchmaking Lobby Game

Lobby Game Start API

The SDK.StartGame method notifies the matchmaking server and all users that the lobby is about to start a game.

using Stove.PCSDK.NET.Matchmaking;

string lobby = this.lobby;
SDK.StartGame(lobby, "", 0);

Only the moderator can call. When a user other than the moderator calls it, it calls back an error. In Server IP and Port, enter the address of the game server to be linked in the client. If there is no game server to be connected, enter an empty value. You cannot enter the lobby after the game has started.

Lobby game start callback

If an error occurs while the SDK.StartGame method is running, you can check the contents in error.result (error code) StovePCMatchmakingResult.

To receive a callback for starting a lobby game, you must register a delegate in advance. It calls the StartGame callback for all users in the lobby.

using Stove.PCSDK.NET.Matchmaking;

// Register the lobby game start delegate
SDK.EventStartGame += GameObj.OnStartGame;

// start lobby game
private void OnStartGame(StovePCMatchmakingError error, StovePCMatchmakingStartGame startGame)
{
    // Process game logic such as moving scenes
    if (error.result == StovePCMatchmakingResult.NO_ERROR)
    {

    }
    // error handling
    else
    {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        // error code
        sb.AppendFormat(" - fail code : {0}", error.result);
        // If there is a specific error
        sb.AppendFormat(" - fail message : {0}", error.message);

        Debug.Log(sb.ToString());
    }
}

> You should periodically call the RunCallback method because the lobby can receive notification of the start of the game.

### 11) End matchmaking lobby game
#### Lobby Game Closing API
The `SDK.EndGame` method notifies the matchmaking server and all users that the lobby ends the game.

``` cs
using Stove.PCSDK.NET.Matchmaking;

string lobby = this.lobby;
SDK.EndGame(lobby, "", 0);

Only the moderator can call. When a user other than the moderator calls it, it calls back an error. In Server IP and Port, enter the address of the game server to be linked in the client. If there is no game server to be connected, enter an empty value. After the game is over, it automatically deletes the lobby.

Lobby game end callback

If an error occurs while the SDK.EndGame method is running, you can check the contents in error.result (error code) StovePCMatchmakingResult.

To receive a callback for the end of the lobby game, you must register a delegate in advance.

• The EndGame callback is called for all users in the lobby.
• All users in the lobby will call the OnLeaveLobby callback.

using Stove.PCSDK.NET.Matchmaking;

// Register the lobby game start delegate
SDK.EventEndGame += GameObj.OnEndGame;

// end the lobby game
private void OnEndGame(StovePCMatchmakingError error, StovePCMatchmakingEndGame endGame)
{
    // Process game logic such as moving scenes
    if (error.result == StovePCMatchmakingResult.NO_ERROR)
    {

    }
    // error handling
    else
    {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        // error code
        sb.AppendFormat(" - fail code : {0}", error.result);
        // If there is a specific error
        sb.AppendFormat(" - fail message : {0}", error.message);

        Debug.Log(sb.ToString());
    }
}

You should periodically call the RunCallback method because the lobby can receive game end notifications.
