Generic Shooter: Support Thread

Dedicated Server support is for the most part there, but any issues that are coming up are generally due to the lack of C++ code for handling edge cases.

1. This is entirely dependent on how your OnlineSubsystem treats dedicated servers. You can pseudo force this behavior by calling Create Session in your game mode’s begin play, which might fail if a session already exists. A failure should be safe to ignore, I believe.
2. This also depends on your subsystem. If you are using Steam, direct ip connections tend to not go through the same player init that Steam wants to do and weird things happen. If not using Steam, I can not explain this and have no idea why it wouldn’t work.

I’m hoping to get some time to work on the next major update and include more dedicated server specific documentation, but life is demanding and stuff.

Step 1. Created new project (Create new project for generic shooter, version 4.12.5 unreal )
Step 2. Loaded project
Step 3. Enabled ‘Run Dedicated Server’
Step 4. Added player count to 2
Step 5. PLAY

Symptoms: Lobby view shows up and allocates players to separate teams, once the match starts players will spawn without weapons and cannot interact with the weapon pickups in the level.
