# PFMultiplayerUninitialize

> Reference for PFMultiplayerUninitialize, which immediately reclaims resources for all objects tied to a PlayFab Multiplayer C/C++ library instance.

Immediately reclaims all resources associated with all Multiplayer library objects.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
HRESULT PFMultiplayerUninitialize(  
    PFMultiplayerHandle handle  
)  
```

### Parameters

**`handle`**   PFMultiplayerHandle\
*input not valid afterwards*

The handle of the PFMultiplayer API instance.

### Return value

Type: HRESULT

`S_OK` if the call succeeded or an error code otherwise. The human-readable form of the error code can be retrieved via [PFMultiplayerGetErrorMessage()](/services/playfab/multiplayer/lobby/playfabmultiplayerreference-cpp/pfmultiplayer/functions/pfmultiplayergeterrormessage).

## Remarks

If local users were participating in a Lobby, they are removed (it appears to remote lobby clients as if network connectivity to these users has been lost), so best practice is to call `PFLobbyLeave` on all lobbies and wait for the corresponding `PFLobbyLeaveLobbyCompletedStateChange` to have the local users exit any existing lobbies. <br /><br /> This method is not thread-safe and may not be called concurrently with other Multiplayer library methods. After calling this method, all Multiplayer library state is invalidated.   <br /><br /> Every call to [PFMultiplayerInitialize()](/services/playfab/multiplayer/lobby/playfabmultiplayerreference-cpp/pfmultiplayer/functions/pfmultiplayerinitialize) should have a corresponding PFMultiplayerUninitialize() call.

## Requirements

**Header:** PFMultiplayer.h
