Hhmm weird, other functions seem to work. We are using a custom OSS so it might indeed be an issue from that side. ---

Im replacing OSS Null with Advanced Steam. Replaced all Find Session with Find Sessions Advanced and Create Sessions with the Create Advanced Session. Using Steam works fine, can create a server and join to it with two different steam accounts. When I create a LAN server it seems to work and I can list it on clients. But when I press Join and go into Join Session, seems to reach it and print a string saying Success but never really joins the LAN Session and Open the Level. I created a new Event NetworkError and after 60 seconds I get a Time Out message. What could be happening? Thank you. ---

I had more stuff in place with filters but I was worried I was filtering out my results. Turns out there was just 0 results regardless. Server is reporting the session is created successfully. Edit: I’m guessing there’s an issue with my Find Sessions Advanced because I should be finding sessions from other people too, right?

[quote=“, post:1805, topic:30020”] Do you have the ports open for the dedicated server? Dedicated servers don’t use the NAT punchthrough that lobbies do. No, but as I was running it locally and connecting with 127.0.0.1 it shouldn’t be needed. If I were to just execute a client (without launching a server) and run a “Find sessions advanced” using the Steam subsystem, shouldn’t I expect to see a number of sessions hosted on Steam using that appid all over the world? Or will it only find sessions created using the same executable that I have? I’m not sure how that works. For now, I changed my subsystem to null and was able to get it working but I will eventually need to make it work with Steam.

The sessions are filtered out by the build ID (changes each packaging) by default with the subsystem, so no, you wouldn’t see them return, however it will log in the console a big list of rejected sessions if you don’t have a filter in place. ---
