PSA: Photon server testing


Hi! In the following days the Photon people will be testing some things to try to reduce the amount of "PhotonCloudTimeout" disconnections. This includes an internal change to some of the regional servers.

Specifically, the US regional server has been already changed, and the European one will be changed at a later point.

The only thing you should notice is that games opened before the change (done about 15 minutes ago) are no longer joinable until the session is restarted (and, for now, only in the US region).

If you are on the US region and were frequently experiencing those PhotonCloudTimeout disconnections before, please let us know if this change has improved overall stability.
