Hi everyone.
I’m trying to use the Advanced Sessions plugin to send a friend invite after creating a party. I call send invite to friend in the blueprints with the unique net id. It says the invite was successful, but I can’t see any invite popup on Steam when I do this. Does anyone have any advice?
hi!
can u help me with next error

Hi,
First, thank you so much for this amazing plugin.
I have released a game on Steam a few months back. And, now I have finished implementing online multiplayer feature. One player from one PC with a unique SteamID CreatesAdvancedSession. Then, another player from another PC with a unique SteamID does FindSessionAdvanced.
It works perfectly over LAN.
However, on Steam, the other player can join the session. But, once the host “starts”, and moves to the next map, the guest player gets disconnect.
I am using NON-Seamless travel.
Could you kindly confirm that my check/uncheck choices are proper for a Steam online session?
Thank you again!
p.s. After sending a PM to the OP, I realized here is the proper place to post. I am sorry for the double post.
The ping 9999 with steam is fixed on 4.24?

You have to use the steam sockets setup to fix that
Any chance you can expose read and write to steam leaderboard? Just bought Uworks but unfortunately, that plugin lacks for creating a session with extra setting and you can’t use both plugins at the same time, so I’m lost.
Thanks

UWorks has the entire steam sdk exposed to blueprints, you should be able to just set lobby settings directly when using it.
Also the engine has built in leaderboard support as well as there being two additional plugins that I know of that handle leaderboards specifically.

Ah ok, so I will use create a lobby for my listen server instead of creating a session, Forgive me for asking this stupid question, but what is the difference between creating a lobby and creating a session? I even couldn’t find the answer on the steam partner page.
As for the built-in leaderboard, it doesn’t work as it should, you cant read top 10 scores with the names of the players, so it’s kind of useless, that’s why I really hope one day you add it to advance session plugin as its the only thing missing there. for now can you please tell me the plugins that handle leaderboards other than Uworks that you mentioned?
Thanks

Sessions ARE lobbies for the most part, sessions are UE4’s abstract system for handling multiplayer groupings, they implement it on the steam subsystem by creating a lobby.
As for leaderboards, the reason I hadn’t was there was a free plugin already handling it, as well as a couple of paid ones, I am unsure as to their status as I don’t keep up on them.

I think I found the plugin its called “steamuer” I released my game “Legendary hunter vr” two years ago and there was no such plugin, or at least I didn’t know about it, I used your plugin and it was amazing, I’ve added you on my game credit so thanks a lot for your contribution to UE4 community, I’m going to check this Leaderboard plugin and hopefully it will work as my current game is in its final stage, and I would like to keep using advance session plugin without any major modification like Uworks since integrating Uworks will mess my project and I will need a lot of time to make it work. so yeah, in case you have a wishlist for the plugin, I would love to see you add leaderboard, if not then all fine. as one plugin to rule them all is the best thing everyone can wish for.
Edit: yes I was able to make the leaderboard work using Steamuer plugin, thank you, otherwise I wouldn’t know about it.

Yeah i cannot pre-compile binaries for mac, you will have to follow any random project compilation tutorial for mac with the plugin in the project folder and it should generate them for you.
can you help me?

I forgot to ask, since you already created advance session plugin, you must know the source code behind it, so creating an advance session in UE4 for steam, will it create a session or a lobby on the steam platform? Since in Uworks there is a create session and create a lobby, unlike advance session plugin which we only have create session node.
At the same time, sorry for asking this noob question but I don’t know where to ask this, in steampartner we have 2 ways on how to create a lobby, one with steamwork API, and another with steamwork web API, what is the difference?
Thanks

Epic uses steam lobbies to run their sessions on steam subsystem, Session is epics term for their generic front end cross platforms.
Don’t think the webapi supports creating steam lobbies though.

Thanks for the reply. I will try to build it on the Mac and report back with results. I had no idea it was that straightforward.
In the meantime I’ve moved everything away from Steam Sessions to connecting over static IP using ZeroTier to create a virtual network. So far it’s working well except for cross-platform VOIP (would love to hear from anyone who has succeeded at that).
Is there a way to be able to have a in-game choice between the SteamSubSystem and LAN? I can get each to work separately using a checkbox but I have to edit the DefaultEngine.ini Can this be done in code? Am I missing something that I am forced to choose what subsystem I want to use in the DefaultEngine.ini?
Thanks
