This is the correct behavior, when running non standalone with the editor ue4 makes its own session so that you can run clients on the editor. Get session settings only works with sessions hosted by the interface as it looks it up by name.

is this a bug when i try to update session public connections ?
i try to update session in order to change ‘Public Connections’ value of the session.
When i request the “Get Players” and the “Get Current Players” the is correct, but the current is wrong it always give me “public connection value - 1” any idea why?
when i first create my session, lets say with 10 in ‘Public Connections’ a client can search for sessions and he will find 1/10 players connected
but if the server update the ‘Public Connections’ to 12 things goes wrong, now client search for sessions and they found 11/12 players connected
am stuck on this since yesterday, no idea why ‘Get current players’ always return me wrong value when i update sessions
edit:
A solution would be to add a new extra settings like ‘currentplayer’ as int, and server will update it with “UAdvancedSessionsLibrary::GetNumberOfNetworkPlayers” value then the client will have the correct current player numbers when searching for a server information using this extra settings
but it wont fix the wrong value returned by ‘Get Current Players’ and i think it may cause unexpected behavior in the futur 
like only 1 client would connect because the public connection will be reach since the session think there already ‘max-1’ players connected

I’ll need to check on something on Monday, I may be able to fix it. Update sessions might be missing a variable passed in.

There are multiple locations for that build.cs if I remember correctly. I had a different steamworks build working for awhile and then it got to be a PITA to manage so I’ve just used UE4’s shipped version ever since they started fully packaging it in.

Ok, rewrote part of the update sessions function to pass in the old sessions settings and modify it instead of re-creating the entire structure, this way if it is passing data post creation it will keep it intact in the structure.
Let me know if that helps, it should be more robust anyway. Not entirely sure why I had it the other way, this makes more sense, must have been a brain fart.

Well finally i had time today to test it :o
the problem that i described is still here (i downloaded the plugin here AdvancedSessionsPlugin-4-10.zip - Google Drive) is that the last version?
do you need more information (like step to reproduce) or you have already an idea on whats going on?

Yes that is the latest version, and no I don’t think I can do anything in the plugin to fix it if that didn’t do it. I will say that the “Update Session” function is noted as being “For use between matches” in their code base.
Currently the update session node is at parity with their official example implementation.

can you say somethin about thissetup, i followed that, but seams i or epic miss something, because steam works fine on standalone, but refuses to package even on empty project.

I’m sorry, there are a lot of things that you can do to mess up a custom steam api with the engine and this thread isn’t really the place to try and solve it.

Just because he downloaded the 4.10 version doesn’t mean he is running 4.10, he shouldn’t have to recompile it at all unless packaging.
