Playing online with multiple clients

To play with multiple clients, create a build on one machine for a target platform and start multiple instances on the same PC or on different devices.

By default the best (pinged) region is connected to. Clients that are connecting to different regions will not be matched together, instead go to the settings game menu and toggle a region explicitly.

Additionally to the region Photon matchmaking only matches clients of the same AppId and AppVersion together. The Quantum menu is set up to use an AppVersion that is unique to the machine that creates the build, so reduce the chance of matching players of incompatible builds.
