guys. i am having some\*\* complexity to understand\*\* how the dedicated server part actually works for “advanced-sessions-plugin”. i was given assurity that using “ **Create Advanced Session** ” node it is possible to turn a windowsNoEditor into a “dedicated server”. All it is needed to set "is dedicated server " to true . from my commonsense that is just impossible. so before wasting more times i wanted to ask does that node has that "magical power " ? Sorry . if I sounds like a fool. I am mostly a “Open Ip address” command lover with zero knowledge on Steam ---

NameToLoad: /Script/AdvancedSessions ``` Do you have the plugin inside of another folder? /Script/ shouldn’t ever be in the pathname of the plugin and considering the name Script is likely a reserved name for packaging it could be screwing things up. Thank you for you answer. No the plugin is just in the plugins folder. And inside the editor i can use it without problems. Also I don’t find a Script folder neither in the project nor in the packaged folder, which maybe doesn’t mean anything. Maybe the crash message is interesting? ---

There is technically a refresh lobby info for Steam, however I don’t think that all subsystems have that and the base subsystem framework does not implement a re-query function. ---

I don’t pre-build intermediate files because the file size quadruples then. Also the log file is spammed with a bunch of log debug entries (AnimBP 0.0) that make it pretty hard to look through, its also not a packaging log as far as I can tell. ---

I’m glad to hear you’ll continue to update the plugin on new engine releases. A lot of plugins seem to be stuck at old engine versions lately. It’s understandable you won’t be expanding the plugin much further. Personally, I think there are already more features than I thought there would be. Teams that are using your plugin should recruit a good programmer if they need more functionality than your plugin provides. Good luck with the VR plugin. ---

Is there a way to get sessions that you wouldn’t be able to join (full sessions, or sessions with Allow Join In Progress unchecked) in Find Sessions? I want them to be visible in the server list anyway since I can do my own filtering. Right now they just stop showing up at all.
