Title Region Validation Test

1. Overview​

Before a Title Region is ready for players, the final pre-release test is critical. We call this the Validation Test. During a region is closed, you may need that QA team is able to log in to the game for validation testing. This tool can just help you.

2. Mechanism​

All clients that match the whitelist rule will pass the authentication verification and can log into the game, even though the title region is closed. There are some specific rules that you may need to know:

  1. The Validation Test whitelist has the top priority so that you can log into the game if you are in whitelist even though you are banned by the GEO restriction. This rule is useful for that global team - QA team can log into the game even though they are in the blocked region.
  2. If you are in the whitelist, you can start matchmaking, join the battle even though the title is closed. This rule is important to QA team that want to test the gameplay.

3. How to use​
