Hello,

It looks like you’re working on 4.11, which is quite an old version of the editor. Since then, there have been many bugfixes and code changes that could have resolved your issue, and if you’re attempting to follow a guide somewhere, it may have been updated past 4.11 and thus have become incompatible with your engine version.

I recommend upgrading a copy of your project to a later engine version, such as 4.15, and then running through the Steam setup in the guide linked below:

> After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline. These resources now live on a new community-run Unreal Engine Community Wiki — ue4community.wiki! You will be able to find content from the official...

Using the above wiki, I have been able to get Steam set up and running several times using 4.13, 4.14, and 4.15.

Have a great day
