Release Production Environment

Overview

When the game is facing external players (including: CBT, OBT, EL, and SL), regardless of how many external players participate, it's necessary to switch the environment from testing to production.

Tasks for switching to production environment:

• Switch client and backend request URLs to the production environment URLs.
• Check and update INTLConfig.ini file configurations, such as disabling logs.
• LI Pass functionality check.
• Third-party channel configuration check.

Switch Production Environment

During development, TEST environment (https://test.intlgame.com) is used.

When the business goes live, obtain the production environment cluster information based on the server Get Production Environment Cluster Info.

Contact Player Network Assistant one week in advance to switch to the production environment and check each item in the checklist below.
