ok soooo,on open level you specify the level you want to open not your ip
on the join session don’t use a for loop but get the 0 index of the array and use that

Not to mention that the CreateSession there isn’t actually set to Dedicated Server…

Well I have the perfect article to sort this out for you and it will explain far better (and with better formatting) than I can in here.

I really should have linked to it a long time ago as questions related to it keep popping up.

TL;DR though, turn on Presence on the session.

http://www.aclockworkberry.com/ping-…ssion-results/

Was able to get it working today.
First issue: We were passing 1 to CreateAdvancedSession::PublicConnections which must at least be 2 for listen server. Thats the reason it did not show up in the ServerBrowser at first (UsePresence = true).
Second Issue: We used the OpenLevel Blueprint-Node and passed in ‘-listen’ as option. The ‘-’ was to much.
Third Issue: The config file. With the following config we got it working.



[/Script/Engine.GameEngine]
!NetDriverDefinitions=ClearArray
+NetDriverDefinitions=(DefName="GameNetDriver",DriverClassName="OnlineSubsystemSteam.SteamNetDriver",DriverClassNameFallback="OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver")
+NetDriverDefinitions=(DefName="DemoNetDriver",DriverClassName="/Script/Engine.DemoNetDriver",DriverClassNameFallback="/Script/Engine.DemoNetDriver")

[OnlineSubsystem]
DefaultPlatformService=Steam

[OnlineSubsystemSteam]
bEnabled=true
SteamAppID=924770
SteamDevAppId=924770
GameServerQueryPort=27015
bRelaunchInSteam=true
GameVersion=1.0.0.0
bVACEnabled=1
bAllowP2PPacketRelay=true
P2PConnectionTimeout=90

[/Script/OnlineSubsystemSteam.SteamNetDriver]
NetConnectionClassName="OnlineSubsystemSteam.SteamNetConnection"

You might want to add this Comment to your CreateAdvancedSession function .


    /**
     *    Creates a session with the default online subsystem with advanced optional inputs, for dedicated servers leave UsePresence as false and set IsDedicatedServer to true. Dedicated servers don't use presence.
     *    @param PublicConnections            When doing a 'listen' server, this must be >=2 (ListenServer itself counts as a connection)
     *    @param bUseLAN                        When you want to play LAN, the level to play on must be loaded with option 'bIsLanMatch'
     *    @param bUsePresence                    Must be true for a 'listen' server (Map must be loaded with option 'listen'), false for a 'dedicated' server.
     *  @param bShouldAdvertise                Set to true when the OnlineSubsystem should list your server when someone is searching for servers. Otherwise the server is hidden and only join via invite is possible.
     */

Thanks again.

Are you actually running a source build to generate the dedicated server build target?

Also why are you opening the level with an IP address after creating the session?

davedumas0 · December 6, 2018, 3:44am

can you add support for the new epic launcher? friends list etc kinda like the steam stuff

JTXPbrah · December 6, 2018, 11:43pm

I have a dedicated server. For some reason when I enabled the Steam advanced sessions plugin, I can no longer connect directly to my server via IP. When I disable the steam plugin and just use the Advanced Sessions, I can connect and play again.

Is this a known issue? What exactly is going on here that’s preventing a direct connect?

I also want to point out that the server does show up on steam server LAN list, but not on Internet list.

Steam module literally just loads the steam headers, it does nothing else unless you start using some nodes, it is very unlikely to be directly related. The only thing that could possibly interfere is that it requires the steam subsystem to be active, so if you are normally running without it then there would be a difference.

I’ll note that there is a change in the current version that moves the steam hashing over to the new format in 4.21, but that is on a copy class not the original so it also wouldn’t interfere.

Not until they release a subsystem for it…

yes, I running a source build to generate the dedicated server build target

opening the level with an IP address after creating the session，Used as another client connection

Hence why I asked this question. It makes no sense. With the steam plugin disabled, I can connect to the server via IP. With the steam plugin enabled, I can no longer direct connect.

If that doesn’t make sense, then you now know why I’m here confused as f lol

Had the same issue that the server showed up LAN server. But was trying to connect to a listen server, and had UsePresence on the server set to false.

As sayed it makes use of the Steam subsystem, which uses steam netdriver/connection. You can go into the CreateAdvanvedSession BlueprintCallbackProxyBase::Activate and set a breakpoint in there, then step trough the code. The function brings you in the OnlineSubsystem used. Try with Steam plugin enabled/disabled and see whats the difference.

As sayed it makes use of the dteam subsystem, which uses steam netdriver/connection.

So here’s the current issue:

If I disable steam advanced sessions, but keep regular advanced sessions enabled, I can connect to my dedicated server via direct connect IP.
If I enable steam advanced sessions, I can no longer connect to the server via direct connect.

Trying to solve this problem first before I tackle the server browser issue.

So WHY would the steam plugin break the direct IP connection?

EDIT: okay just saw your edited reply so I’ll look into that! But I might just have to get UWorks lol pretty sure this plugin is bugged
