For more information, see the following documentation page: [url=https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.3/en-US/xr-best-practices-in-unreal-engine/]XR Best Practices in Unreal[/url] Due to a bug in the current versions of Unreal Engine, you must also use the Binned2 allocator to prevent a crash on startup.

Binned3 allocates a large chunk of memory at the beginning of the app load, which is unfortunately too large, and causes an out of memory (OOM) crash.

[h4]Do you want your game to be Peer-to-peer based or server based?[/h4] Depending on the type of game one or the other will likely make your game more enjoyable for users. If your game is highly competitive like an esport then we recommend that you use [doclink=#gameservers][/doclink]. …

This is the best choice for highly competitive games (such as Dota 2) or games with persistent servers that keep running even after all players leave (such as Team Fortress 2). You can read more about it in the [doclink=features/multiplayer/game_servers][/doclink] documentation.…

The way the grouping is determined will depend on your game and what makes the most sense to show. For example, in Dota 2 there are parties of up to 5 people, so we will show the party that is being played with, not the full team of 5 that is match-made by the game. In Counter-Strike, though, 2 friends may be playing on a server together, but rather than showing the whole server as part of the party, only the mutual friends who are playing together are placed in the same Steam Player Group. …

Example: to take a specific event like TI6, Valve would create a cover image focusing on "The International" rather than a generic use of "Dota 2".
