Its attempting to allocate uint64_MAX worth of memory when searching for many friend sessions during a loop? ok…

Can you show me a SS of your loop? I have the function pulled up but can’t get down to testing it for a couple of hours but it looks like they are creating a unique net id manually for people out of a lobby. Regardless FindFriendSession shouldn’t be called on someone in the menu, they aren’t actually in a session at the time, but it should fail gracefully, not have memory corruption.

Edit You know what? I totally forgot to initialize Friend.PresenceInfo in the “GetFriend” function…

It contains the following:


	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = "Online|Friend")
		bool bIsOnline;
	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = "Online|Friend")
		bool bIsPlaying;
	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = "Online|Friend")
		bool bIsPlayingThisGame;
	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = "Online|Friend")
		bool bIsJoinable;
	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = "Online|Friend")
		bool bHasVoiceSupport;
	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = "Online|Friend")
		TEnumAsByte<EBPOnlinePresenceState::Type> PresenceState;
	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = "Online|Friend")
		FString StatusString;

Which should allow you to fully define whether they are joinable and their current status. I had some of the presence settings exposed to their own variables but I will fill out the entire presence structure, like “IsJoinable” which would be a big help here…

#670

Thanks for the fast reply. I’m at work right now. I can take a screenshot later. No hurry… I know supporting things can be a lot of work. Friend.PresenceInfo discovering if they are joinable would be a great!

Edit: It’s strange it only crashes in the editor. I imagine detecting if they are joinable first will fix the problem.

#671

It was only the “GetFriend” function that was missing the Presence information. GetStoredFriendsList and GetFriendsList both return the correct presence and you should be able to check “bIsJoinable” and “bIsPlayingSameGame”.

Also the steam function FindFriendSession already checks to see if they are actually in game or not. I would like that screenshot when possible, I can’t find a problem in the code itself so far.

Edit Unless it has to do with this:


				else
				{
					// Search for the session via host ip
					TSharedRef<FInternetAddr> IpAddr = ISocketSubsystem::Get()->CreateInternetAddr(FriendGameInfo.m_unGameIP, FriendGameInfo.m_usGamePort);
					CurrentSessionSearch->QuerySettings.Set(FName(SEARCH_STEAM_HOSTIP), IpAddr->ToString(true), EOnlineComparisonOp::Equals);

					FOnlineAsyncTaskSteamFindServer* NewTask = new FOnlineAsyncTaskSteamFindServer(SteamSubsystem, SearchSettings, LocalUserNum, OnFindFriendSessionCompleteDelegates[LocalUserNum]);
					SteamSubsystem->QueueAsyncTask(NewTask);
				}

If the player isn’t in a session then it tries to find a server by the players session IP instead, i’ll see if steam ever passes in a NULL for an ip.

Edit 2

Welp, no clue anymore, there is some funky **** going on in the steam subsystem


TSharedRef<FInternetAddr> FSocketSubsystemSteam::CreateInternetAddr(uint32 Address, uint32 Port)
{
	FInternetAddrSteam* SteamAddr = new FInternetAddrSteam();
	return MakeShareable(SteamAddr);
}

When making the search for the ip based game it uses that function, which doesn’t end up using the passed in address and port at all… The default socketsubsystem uses them but it is calling the SocketSubsystemSteams implementation instead so the port and ip are just 0.

Long story short, I think the steam subsystem has some real problems in it and you should just check if they are playing a game and are joinable before getting their session information. I will upload a new version that has the GetFriendInfo having the full presence information after I run a debug test to make sure it actually calls that function.

#672

Uploaded the GetFriend Node Fix for presence

#673

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.

#674

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!

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.

#677

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 :slight_smile:

#678

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

#679

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:

#680

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.

#681

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.

#682

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.

#683

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.

#684

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. :rolleyes:

#685

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.

#686

It didn’t work.


[2016.07.01-15.48.29:334] 13]LogOnline:Warning: Async task 'FOnlineAsyncTaskSteamJoinLobby bWasSuccessful: 0 Session: Game LobbyId: Lobby [0x18600008B140A35] Result: '3' k_EChatRoomEnterResponseNotAllowed (General Denied - You don't have the permissions needed to join the chat)' failed in 0.369664 seconds

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.

#687

Curious, we had a similar issue and I sent that project to Mordentral hoping he might spot whether it was an error on my part - or some bug, maybe your project suffered a similar fate as mine had?

I was on 4.11.2 when it happened to my project, so I decided to upgrade to 4.12.3 and in doing so made a new empty project and mine started working again as well.

#688

I think we’ll never know the source of this problem. But this is a very strange bug. By the way, I think it would be great if Mordentral will make a blueprint functions to interact with the Steam stats. Because I spent few weeks for that and still have a some troubles.
