We made use of multiple inheritance and made our game instance inherit it:

class UShooterGameInstance : public UGameInstance, public ISteamMatchmakingPingResponse

Then you can implement the two functions as usual voids (not statics!)

public:
// Begin ISteamMatchmakingPingResponse interface
void ServerResponded(gameserveritem_t& server);
void ServerFailedToRespond();
// End ISteamMatchmakingPingResponse interface

Since you’re in game instance context, you can always call GetFirstLocalPlayerController(). Cheers!

Ah! Multiple inheritance I didn’t consider it as Unreal doesn’t support it with their internal macros, but since the steam class is not using the internal macros it’s possible.
I got it working though, thank you very much friend.

A warning for others, I got some horrible *.gen.cpp errors when I included the steam/isteammatchmaking.h. Had to add this after the steam includes

#define ARRAY_COUNT( array ) (sizeof(ArrayCountHelper(array)) - 1)

. Hopefully will save you some time.
