I am using UE 4.15 and the Advanced find session node does not work when using STEAM. It works fine without STEAM. With STEAM, it returns 0 as the number of sessions found which were created using Create Advanced Session node. Has anybody encountered this issue?
Itās vecause FindSession finds a few thousand of Sessions, by searching.
Thatās cause in dev, you are using AppId 480 - which is the Game Spacewar.
This Id is used by all devs working with steam, without a SDirect Service.
Rise your Search results to a really high Number and/or you need to Filter out your Project by using Properties - like the servername f.e.
Hi !
Iām having a nice conversation with plugin about the Event On Session Invite Accepted. Whenever I get the Unique Net ID and pass it to the UniqueNetId to String function, it gives me local user steam netid instead of the inviter. How can that happen ? I looked at the code but there some mess going around in that code with syntaxing.
(4.16.1, with latest update of plugin)
Thanks a lot for sharing this and helping us out

mmmm, appears to be a naming issue, it should be āPersonInvitedā not āPersonInvitingā. Iāll fix that
Edit Newest upload has it changed as does the repository.
Sorry about that, I think the old reference wording was wrong in engine and I never went back and checked later on to see if it was different.
The project is not packed. What is the problem?

Hello bro, good job.
Iām using it since 4.10 and itās really wonderful.
I Just updated your plugin for 4.16.2, iām building from the source, and i got this error:
[QUOTE]
U:\Unreal Projects\Impero\Source\AdvancedSteamSessions\Private\AdvancedSteamFriendsLibrary.cpp(22): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: āOnlineSubsystemSteamTypes.hā: No such file or directory
It seems the path in AdvancedSteamSessions.Build.cs is somehow wrong
[QUOTE]
PublicIncludePaths.AddRange(new string] { āā¦/Plugins/Online/OnlineSubsystemSteam/Source/Privateā });// This is dumb but it isnāt very open
Any idea to fix it? 
Meanwhile i solved it with a
#include "../Plugins/Online/OnlineSubsystemSteam/Source/Private/OnlineSubsystemSteamTypes.h"
Hello, how does the add or modify extra settings work? How can I change the extra settings when the server is already running and it actually updates the extra settings?

You didnāt fully install visual studio 2017 for UE4, you are missing a core component.

Mmmmm, I run all of my builds from code (obviously) and the pre-packaged version uses that same path. Also the 4.13-4.15 versions had that same path as well and it is the correct one.
The only definition that effects whether it is built or not is
if ((Target.Platform == UnrealTargetPlatform.Win64) || (Target.Platform == UnrealTargetPlatform.Win32) || (Target.Platform == UnrealTargetPlatform.Linux) || (Target.Platform == UnrealTargetPlatform.Mac))
which is intended to not include steam files on mobile platforms, what platform were you building for?
i dont know if you have it fixed yet, but hereās a wrong (copy pasted, happens a lot to me too) tooltip

From what I understand, this node does not return the person who invited us, instead it returns just who accepted the invite (which is obviously always us/me). I think thatās wrong. If itās not supposed to be like that, itās still not fixed.

Its how it is implemented in the subsystem / steam, not much I can do about that.

Interesting implementation then. By the way do you have any ideas about how can I retrieve the player list in a session ?
Or just the person who invited me ?

That is āsupposedā to be handled by:
// Removed because it never gets called by the online subsystems
/*void UAdvancedFriendsGameInstance::OnSessionInviteReceivedMaster(const FUniqueNetId &InvitedPlayer, const FUniqueNetId &FriendInviting, const FOnlineSessionSearchResult& Session)
{
However the problem is that while it exists in the base subsystem, it is not implemented in the any actual subsystem. I could implement it myself but would have to add another override game instance in the steam module that inherits from the advanced friends game instance. Was really hoping that gap would be filled in engine eventually.

If you can do that, you would be filling that gap as big as death star. I donāt even know why nobody even complains about that Iām trying to do it myself too but having no documentation makes it so slowā¦
I just upgraded the Steam SDK v139 to v140 on binary release 4.16 and whenever I try to get auth token via Get Player Auth Token node, It returns DummyAuthToken. Whatās up with that ?
Thanks
EDIT : Fixed with 4.16.2 update
EDIT 2 : Problem still occurs with packaged (development) build. It only seems to work on Standalone Game Play mode.
I dont want to sound like total noob but i have to ask anyways. Since i dont have many experience with networking in UE4, can this plugin help me to make dedicated server with steam support ?
It depends on what you need on dedicated server. If you are going to use advanced matchmaking system and will use VAC APIās, then blueprints canāt help you much. Otherwise I think it would be enough. There are tons of tutorials in youtube, check them out first

well to be hones not even 1 tutorial taking care about dedicated server and steam together. All i need is to make dedicated server to host maps for survival game basically, nothing moreā¦ So not any advance matchmaking or other complicated things reallyā¦
Itās pretty much the same in the dedicated case too. Go ahead and try, share your results with us
