FAQ
What happened to initializeExpress
?
Rivet game servers run only game code and nothing else. We support deploying static content with Rivet CDN.
If you need to run a custom API server, take a look at Fly.io or Railway.
Why not use the existing MatchMakerDriver?
The provided MatchMakerDriver
interface by Colyseus is too rigid to use in conjunction with Rivet. Under the hood, Colyseus will use LocalDriver
for the matchmaker.
We hope to eventually merge a more flexible matchmaking interface in to Colyseus in order to cleanly interface with the Rivet matchmaker.
