This is my tutorial series covering the basics of working with EOS inside of Unreal Engine. I try to cover as much as possible to get you going, then once you get going it’s mostly the same as using the online subsystem!

I’ve followed the tutorials. I’m not expert in C++ but there seems to be an “issue” in episode 10 at 4:20.

// Tutorial version (Can't find lobbies)
SearchSettings = MakeShareable(new FOnlineSessionSearch());
// Working fix -  new class without parentheses, instantiate without arguments
SearchSettings = MakeShareable(new FOnlineSessionSearch);

I don’t know the exact reason, but might be something to do with some default values of FOnlineSessionSearch.
