Reality Loader
Reality Loader is an agent for Reality Hub where you enable communication between Reality Hub and your Engine(s).
Reality Loader must be installed on every Reality Engine & Unreal Engine Vanilla.
Upgrading or downgrading Reality Hub requires you to do the same with Reality Loader, you must keep Reality Hub and Reality Loader versions identical.

Reality Hub URL: HTTP IP Address and Port for communication with Reality Hub Server. This IP must be the same as the computer that you installed Reality Hub Server.
Let's assume that your Reality Hub Server is located on a server configuration with the IP number 192.168. 0.1, your Engine's IP Address is 192.168. 0.2, and Reality Hub client is located on 192.168. 0.3.
In such a scenario, your Reality Hub Client will be controlling the Engine host by connecting to the Reality Hub Server, therefore, your Reality Hub URL must be looking at the Reality Hub Server, in other word it is 192.168. 0.1.
- Logging IP: Multicast address to broadcast logs.
- Logging Port: This is the Port you can set for broadcast logs.
Please keep that in mind; the 6001 is the fixed port for the Reality Hub Server and the Reality Loader communication.
