Photon Server: Can client and server app send messages to each other without the client joining any room in server?

Question

I need the client to query some game settings in a room before joining it. Do photon already have this behavior?

Answer 1

When creating a room, the client can set custom room properties, which can be made visible to the lobby, too. An example for this can be found in our Matchmaking Guide in the subsection 'Room Properties and the Lobby'.
