Cant get Android multiplayer to connect to editor host

Development Platform & Builds Mobile

1

Hello, this is my first post so dont know if there is a format i should follow, but i have been trying to get my multiplayer game to to compile and run on my Samsung S7. I can not seem to manage this however, from what i see according to the game log the server is being found but nothing appears to happen after. Any help or links for this would be appreciated, everything works and connects fine when not using the device.
The log just after the join button is pressed:

The problem is this:

[2018.01.08-11.01.48:236][517]LogNet: Welcomed by server (Level: /Game/Levels/UEDPIE_0_GameMap, Game: /Game/ThirdPersonBP/Blueprints/ThirdPersonGameMode.ThirdPersonGameMode_C)

When running the game in the editor it changes the map name appending “UEDPIE_0” which does not exist on your client (android device). So in short you cannot use your editor as the server. the workaround is to either:

  • run as standalone game (might work?)
    or
  • package the game out on your pc
    or
  • use the android device as the host and join it from the editor (so the editor is the client) <- that’s what I’m currently doing
