Hi, i enabled steam in Multiplayer Shootout example, so packaged game work anbd i see my steam name in hosted game
so why? i tryed switch in menu internet mode to lan, but still can’t find hosted session
if you like to try on your own PCs just download this packaged game
p.s. right window is just a team viewer connection to remote PC, because i don’t have it at home, so remote PC of couse have internet and steam there work fine when hosting a game, so i see my steam name and on both PC shift+tab work fine
i checked what game does in network when you search for internet session (i did it with TCP view) and seems it use UPD on port 14001 shootout with vac.png — Yandex Disk, to compare i lainched valve’s game team fortress 2 (it’s exe file called hl2 endeed) and when i does session search in TF2 there’s no such port, but maybe TF2 use just different one 2015-05-08 11-55-45 Скриншот экрана.png — Yandex Disk
trying google steam api with UPD 14001 doesn’t give a clue, only discussion on some games also not searching session over this port
doesn’t make any network actions (checked with TCP view)
doesn’t make any file operations or anything else (checked with process monitor)
in spacewar source code find lobby coded as

Been doing stuff with steam over the last week.
For a packaged game, does it still auto-produce the steam_appid.txt in the \MultiplayerShootout\Binaries\Win64 directory when you run it?
