That was way fast. Thanks, I will just check if they are playing and are joinable before getting their session information. I will take a look at it when I get off work.

The crash problem strangely didn't manifest again with engine version 4.12 and your current build from 06-21-2016. I was on 4.11 previously. I wonder if some things were fixed by Epic between those releases.

I had trouble getting "bIsJoinable" to report correctly? Maybe I was implementing it wrong. "bIsPlayingSameGame" did work though. I used a different solution to overcome friends showing in the server browser when sitting in the main menu. I used a check to see if UniqueBuildID != 0 to filter out the "menu player" results. Maybe not the best solution but it seems to work for now.

I will attach screenshots of my bp nodes below.

Thanks!

[Parvan]

Here are screenshots from my progress so far.

Friends browser


Server browser


Fetch list of friends


Fetch friend's avatars


Fetch friend's sessions


Crude loop counter for controlling the session fetching (better method anyone?)


Clears list and refreshes everything


Builds the list of friends that are in sessions.

Mmmmm, it returns an empty session result on failure to retrieve currently, i'm adding a IsValidSession() node to check if a session is valid or not and also will change that to return FAILED if there was no valid session instead of returning an empty session. So the GetFriendSession with throw "OnFailure" now if the returned session is empty instead of returning "OnSuccess" and having an empty session attached.

It was originally just returning the result of the SteamCall.

*Edit* Uploaded with the more correct results from GetFriendSession and the IsValidSession Node.

Is this error in the log related to the plugin?
LogVoiceEncode:Error: StopLocalVoiceProcessing: Ignoring stop request for non-owning user
I used the AdvandcedFriendsGameInstance as a parent, but have not setup anything voice related yet.

Also why does the ping return 9999, is this intended when the session is on a LAN?

Thanks for the awesome Plugin

No its not, and 9999 is an engine bug that is slated to be fixed soon hopefully.

Hi mordentral,
I have a some problems with your plugin.
1. The game can't find any sessions. Find Sessions Advanced is always returns an empty array, and I don't know why, because my friend is created a game session.
2. My friend invited me, but I also can't connect to the game and this is what my Log file says:
[2016.06.29-11.29.45:617][561]LogOnline:Warning: Async task 'FOnlineAsyncTaskSteamJoinLobby bWasSuccessful: 0 Session: Game LobbyId: Lobby [0x186000089DCC514] Result: '3' k_EChatRoomEnterResponseNotAllowed (General Denied - You don't have the permissions needed to join the chat)' failed in 0.391433 seconds

P.S. Also I have a messages like this:

What version of the engine are you using? Can you post a screenshot of your blueprint?

Edit: I'm pretty sure friend invites are broken for now until it's fixed in a future engine release. I got friend search and join to work.

[mordentral]

Those warnings are because of using the generic APP ID for Steam, it is filtering out other peoples games from the returned list for you and notifying you about it. I can't help with your finding problems without seeing your blueprints.

[xlMaSTeRlx]

The engine version is 4.12.3 (I had the same problem with the 4.10.4 and just converted my project) And of course I can show you my blueprints.
Creating the game session:

Searching for game sessions (resulting array length is always zero):

And here's inviting friend to the game:


I hope this will help you.

[mordentral]

Where is your friend located? App ID 480 is region locked so if he is across country bounds it may be blocking you two from seeing each other.

I say this because generally your implementation looks correct and that exact same issue has come up a million times here.

[Dealman]

Worth noting that the region lock may be to EU, instead a country-to-country basis as I've been able to play with someone living in Britain as well as Norway. However, I have never been able to play with someone from the US. I wish Valve would make some more detailed information available as it's causing quite a lot of confusion and frustration.

[xlMaSTeRlx]

My friend is located in Russia just like me. And now I've changed the AppID of my game to the AppID of one of my old projects. Will test now.

[xlMaSTeRlx]

It didn't work.

And I can't find my friend's game session.

[UPDATE]
Okay, now it's working. Problem has been solved in a very strange way: I've just created a new empty project and moved all my work into that project.
