You should try what I just did and make a blank project real fast with just the plugin off of a template and see if you can package it. ---

[QUOTE=;696733] After deleting the intermediate folder in the plugin folder? ```auto D:/ThirdpersonGame/Plugins/AdvancedSessions/AdvancedSessions/Intermediate/Build/Win64/UE4/Development/AdvancedSessions/PCH.AdvancedSessions.h(32): error C2001: newline in constan ``` Was what you reported. _Edit_ Scratch that, the binary zip version still has the precompiled headers, only the repository version doesn’t. Forgot that it didn’t warrant a zip update and I was waiting until 4.16 to make the change outside of source. Regardless I just created a blank project, added the zip plugin to it, created a c++ blank class, and packed it out for shipping win32 with no issues… I tried creating a blank c++ class and it said I needed to recompile so I restarted the editor and now I’m getting a popup saying "the following modules are missing or built with a different engine version: would you like to rebuild them now? I hit yes then after a bit it says could not be compiled try to rebuild from source. I’m googling these issues to find a solution. Also what do you mean by zip plugin? ---

[QUOTE=Brylos;696761] I’ve googled where to find that but I don’t where it is. Could you tell me where to find it? You can skip all of this if you just install the plugin in Unreal Engine/4.15/engine/Plugins, you won’t need to generate code for your project anymore (the Add New C++ class) and it won’t have to re-compile the binaries when packaging. when installed in the project level it WILL re-compile the plugin when packaging as it is in a volatile location. I just updated the installation paragraph to mention this, prior to or .13 this was not possible, but since it is now I should have updated the installation notice awhile ago. When installed to that location (and NOT a version in the project location as well) you don’t have to think about anything. ---

[https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Using\_Steamworks\_with\_UE4#Enabling\_Steam\_Authentication](https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Using_Steamworks_with_UE4#Enabling_Steam_Authentication) Thats not “enabling it”, you have to merge his pull request into a source copy of the engine, build it, and then use his extra variable when hosting the server then. His pull request changes a lot of things on the back end of the steam subsystem to get authentication working. Most of what he changed is not plugin accessible as well, so it would involve re-creating large sections of the Steam Subsystem or even entirely remaking it to get it working with a plugin. Would rather get it feature added into the engine itself as that is where it should be to begin with. _Edit_ If you follow his tutorial and merge his pull request and add that boolean to your game mode this plugin would work normally with it except it would have steam authentication as well, can skip the c++ session creation. ---

Hello ! Thanks for you awesome plugin. I’ve recently started digging in all that UE client-server stuff but still dont’ understand how it works. There are a lot of not obvious things, so maybe you can give me a direction to search. I’m trying to make lobby with 4 slots, that can be player or bot. The question is how to tell the server that slot is occupied by bot and count of free slots is less than count of connected players? ---

Since none of the documentation for installing the engine is updated for 2017 I get the feeling most people are missing out on this. ---
