I’m a bit lost though - it’s preventing me from packaging my project. I believe the issue is to do with c++ compiling, which I know very little about. I installed unreal source because I wanted to make a dedicated server, and things have been a bit of a headache since then.
The log says the following is missing…
Could not find file ‘C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.20\Engine\Plugins\AdvancedSessions\AdvancedSessions\Intermediate\Build\Win64\UE4\Development\AdvancedSessions\AdvancedSessions.precompiled’
and yes it isn’t there. What would I need to do to get past this? I do have VS2017 community installed with c++ for game dev and unreal engine addon ticked at install.
Cheers
Ali.
Install it at project level and not at engine level post 4.20
Works! I am having an issue where if I the plugin only seems to work if I launch the game via editor (standalone). If I package the game (dev or shipping), I don’t get an overlay, name, and the create session function that works in standalone doesn’t seem to work.
I do have a steam_appid.txt file with the contents of 480 next to the executables in binaries, but no luck.
Any tips? I’m sure this was working when i first installed the plugin.

Hi, Just before i get started with my cry for help, wanna say thanks for making this plugin its super useful,

Hi, I’ve been using this and it’s amazing, however I can’t seem to get it functioning properly outside of the editor. It packages properly and I can run it, as well as the steam overlay being accessible in the game but I cannot get hosting & joining to work properly, despite functioning 100% perfectly within the editor as I say.
I did set up unreal with steamworks SDK 139 instead of 132 as places say I should, but I’ve tried both 132 and 142 (the latest) but it doesn’t build with either despite me having set up as far as I know everything necessary.
I can create a LAN session, and have it found on another local machine but I am unable to join, otherwise it pretends other sessions do not exist (interestingly I can host an online server fine, but it is not visible to others like it is in the editor). I figure this is likely a Steamworks issue as opposed to an Advanced Sessions issue if it works in the editor but not in a packaged build, but I thought it would be worth reaching out here first.
Also worth noting in my second image, there are no errors displayed so it is presumably not failing to look for servers, it is just failing to find them.

just a case sensitivity issue I think - Gameframework should be GameFramework, in the file mentioned above and a header file. After fix it compiled happily

Hello, once again thank you for your work. This plugin is still amazing, but right now I’m stuck and I have no idea what the problem could be. I send an invite to my friend. He gets the steam invitation on Steam but in my game instance the two event does not get called. Neither of them prints anything :S. Any idea what could cause it?
I’m getting that Advance Sessions build error. It was mentioned to throw advance sessions directly into the project folder post 4.20. I went and put Advance Sessions in my project plugin folder and it doesn’t register. Can I ask is there a specific area it goes into?

Ok maybe my error is different. I slapped advance sessions in what I believe is my project folder as it’s where my game contect etc is stored in the Plugin section, however it will not even register. So then I went and installed it back in my 4.20 folder plugin where it does. Here is the main error followed by one more 3 more:
ERROR: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file ‘C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.20\Engine\Plugins\AdvancedSessionsPlugin-4-20\AdvancedSessions\AdvancedSessions\Intermediate\Build\Win64\UE4\Shipping\AdvancedSessions\AdvancedSessions.precompiled’.

I want to nail the advance sessions issue. If any other ones persist then I’ll tackle them. Thanks for any help in advance
