Good to know, thanks!
Hey Peeps
I have my steam subsystem all hooked up using the advanced sessions plugin. Iām trying to get the steam login ui to open when no one is logged into steam on begin play using the āShow External Login UIā blueprint node. Is this the correct way of going about it?
I am able to open the profile using the āShow Profile UIā node when logged in.
Many Thanks
I donāt know either because when the client launched the game they will go past through steam, If its a steam game.
Advanced Sessions plugin: no version is work all asked to rebuild manual donāt know how aim beginner thank you
The precompiled binaries list has a 5.0 Preview 1 version now.
The normal plugin packing procedure is currently a bit broken with how the AS modules work so I had to manually package these.
Did you find a solution to the problem below?
[quote=āanonymous_user_982a9af3, post:3060, topic:30020, full:trueā]
UE5 branch changed a line in SteamRequestGroupOfficersCallbackProxy.cpp from
#include "UObject/CoreOnline.h"
to
#include "Online/CoreOnline.h"
With this change, when trying to build the plugin VS will throw an error because it canāt find the dependency. Changing this single line back makes everything build without errors but Iām guessing this change had a reasoning. Can someone help me understand the change?
I changed the line last night when revising the plugin.
And its just them consolidating code to better locations.

Plugin wonāt load with preview 2 update.
Should I change something in the files?
Did you download the latest binary? I just updated it yesterday.
I donwnload it by this link https://github.com//AdvancedSessionsPlugin
The master branch beein updated 3 day ago. There is another ?
Master is 4.27, you need the UE5 branch. I donāt change master over to the latest engine release until it is out of preview.
I tried to use the plugin in a UE5 project, but after Iām adding it, Iām getting this error on launch:
If I chose āYesā then I get this error:
If I remove the plugin then the project is fine.
I used vreue4 from main post to download it (AdvancedSessionPlugin-50-Preview2 downloaded today).
//Edit: More info on the problem:
Great plug-ins. Do you have any functions / instructions or tutorials about these nodes? Thank you very much

You are on the Early Access version of UE5, you should be on the Preview version.
Hi, Iām having an issue similar to this post: [Solved] - Blueprint JoinSession loading to incorrect map - #4 by Mesket
Iām using the Steam Online Subsystem with two different computers with two different Steam accounts.
Basically I can see the Host when looking for sessions and I can access its ExtraSettings so I am sure itās the one I am running. When connecting to it, the JoinSession node returns a success. In the logs of the Host I can see a Client tried to connect, and likewise I can see the Client found the host and connected it.
However, it doesnāt do much afterwards, simply hanging on the map and not loading the Hostās map.
Iāve tried the same method with both computers logged off Steam. I confirmed that Steam was not working as the overlay as unavailable. I was able to join a session in this case and everything was working as designed.
Below I added some logs. Some further explanation on the levelnames that might pass by in the logs
- MainMenu: Startup level for everyone. Here all settings are set and launches the LoadingLevel
- LoadingLevel: Based on settings in the GameInstance, LoadingLevel either connects to or hosts a session
- DefaultMap: Gameplay level where all players should end up in
Connecting via Steam and project UI
Iāve double checked all nodes and flows and it should work properly. The OpenLevel (by Object Reference Node) has listen added to it in options. Here below is the log from the moment that the Client starts connecting to the Host.

Note the first line in the CLI Connection log, for some reason it wants to load the MainMenu rather than DefaultMap. Also thereās a difference in the ports between connecting via CLI and the JoinSessions node
As an addendum to my post above, I made a minimal project that showcases the issue Iām having.
I only inserted this piece of logic which tries to find a session, if itās not compatible, then host a session. If it does find one and is compatible, then join the session and print the message āSession started, loading map nowā. This message prints but it never changes maps.
You can find the project here: MPSkeleton
And to round up technical details:
UE4.27.2
Latest version of AdvancedSessions
Steamworks v151
AppId 480

Iāve managed to fix this issue! I simply switched over SteamSockets and it started working properly.
Has there been changes whereby the older NetDrivers donāt work anymore in current SteamWorks?
Anyways, this issue wasnāt related to AdvancedSessions in the end so sorry for clogging up the thread

For the record, generally in cases like that things would be unrelated to AS, its only exposing back end functions to the front end.
But no steam āshouldā function without steam sockets.

At the danger of veering offtopic, but to activate the Steam Online Subsystem, I simply followed the UE4 documentation and SteamSockets is not mentioned anywhere in it. Has Steamworks completely transitioned to SteamSockets and Epic has not updated their documentation yet?
Not that I am aware of no
