Any working multiplayer steam example?

anonymous_user_dcd9d04a · June 23, 2016, 1:38pm

Thanks for giving my question your time

i tried integrating steam (SHIFT + TAB works) and make it multiplayer but i am having issues…
editor crashes when i join a server.

i tried playing in viewport with 2 players, editor filled my RAM and crashed i also treid opening new window editor but whenever i clicked join server, editor hanged and did not respond

i thought i had done something wrong so i downloaded multiplayer shootout , it also crashes whenever i try joining a hosted server. (i am using PIE)

How to Setup Steam Multiplayer in Unreal Engine 4 Blueprints - Entire Guide - YouTube so i installed his project and editor crashed after hanging for 10 minutes filling my whole RAM and showed this error:

i am working on only one PC ,i don’t own two.
is there any working steam example there i can download? (i have given up on making one)

any help is appreciated.

If you try to use the steam API in two processes simultaneously, the second one will fail to load it (won’t show the steam overlay, with errors in the log). So you can’t run host and client on the same machine. Also, steam doesn’t work PIE, you have to run it Standalone. That said I don’t think I’ve seen it crash in those situations, just not work.

Does the unmodified (non-steam) shootout example crash for you? If so, can you post the logs for server and client?

chrismcr · June 26, 2016, 2:57pm

Yeah shootout should be fine in PIE. Hang makes me think it’s running out of memory - is there a lot of disk activity? Epic recommend 8GB for UE4 apparently (and 24 for the kite demo in editor!).

Are you running two instances of shootout PIE (i.e. setting number of players to 2 in the dropdown)? Can you run it PIE with players set to 1? If that runs okay you could try running the other player on another computer on your LAN and see if the reduced memory load helps.

anonymous_user_dcd9d04a · June 26, 2016, 2:33pm

thanks for the reply,

it does not crash but makes my PC hang(makes it slow and ue4 stops responding as long as its open) so i have to force close it. (my PC is only 4GB RAM, but no project except open world demo , and if kept too much foliage have crashed till now) i will keep that open to see if crashes/runs afterwards (kept it open for 20 minutes before), i can open shootout example in PIE right? or i need standalone for that too? should i involve a laptop in this process?(i am clueless on multiplayer stuff whether its steam or LAN).

thanks in advance!

anonymous_user_dcd9d04a · June 26, 2016, 2:54pm

if i cannot test it on one PC , how will i know if it will work on multiplayer mode on PC’s , is there a way i can test if it works on PC?(multiplayer steam)
please type in answer to mark as resolved i guess nothing else can be done.

Thanks for giving this question your time.

anonymous_user_dcd9d04a · June 26, 2016, 3:02pm

is there any documentation/video for LAN you would recommend (setting up connection and all)?

about disk activity: it stays above 80% when running properly with nothing else open. it filled up when joining server (99%). i always have task manager open to keep an eye for RAM and stay optimized.

anonymous_user_dcd9d04a · June 26, 2016, 3:09pm

run fine with one even with 2 players in game but menu level with 2 player have issues.the main level(with game) runs fine with 2 players (in menu i am able to host session , find session , but unable to join, this happens with the one’s log posted above as well)

anonymous_user_dcd9d04a · June 26, 2016, 3:28pm

Thanks for clearing this out and giving time to this question

anonymous_user_dcd9d04a · June 26, 2016, 3:45pm

it crashed (shootout) but answerhub isn’t letting me post it as a comment (showing - characters left)

my RAM report

anonymous_user_dcd9d04a · June 26, 2016, 3:47pm

the error report

chrismcr · June 26, 2016, 3:25pm

I don’t know a single source for UE4 network info, I had to read up and experiment a lot. In principle though LAN is really simple, especially since you can do it all in blueprints - on the server you just want to use the Create Session node then Open Level with the ‘listen’ option. On the client use Find Sessions and Join Session.

chrismcr · June 26, 2016, 3:33pm

That is really strange. If the unmodified example crashes I am tempted to blame it on running out of RAM, though I’m not certain.

anonymous_user_dcd9d04a · June 26, 2016, 4:13pm

still very helpful to me for making things clear

chrismcr · June 26, 2016, 4:12pm

The only thing I can suggest is you’re running out of RAM. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful!

anonymous_user_531a62141 · October 12, 2017, 3:32pm

I have the same problem but I have 8 gb of ram…Imediatly after I host a game and from the second opened pannel in ue4 I join a sessions the Engine crushes. What shuld I do?

after I open back the engine, this is the log:
