Well hey, that’s progress :slight_smile:

Ok, did you try changing the app id to 480? We may be running into an access wall that requires your own Steam app id. Just quickly try changing the app id and let me know.

23

yup, I am using only 480 now, in config and in the steam_appid.txt in the binaries directory

so at least we know that Steam is rejecting my connection attempts!

any ideas what to do about it?

Thanks Josh!

I would go back to your original thread for now and try to get the steam information directly from the net driver. Using Steam’s matchmaking API may not be possible under app id 480 (their example app) or ours (without being an Epic employee atm).

I’ll get back to you on that when I have more information.

#Major Progress

heeyyyy

I used

Optimize(GetWorld()->GetNetDriver()->LowLevelGetNetworkNumber());

and this was the output!

that number looks reallly familiar, could I use that for the # in

open steam.#

?

Just as aside note for those who still get the access denied error. When using steam sockets for joining/hosting Valve must have enabled lobby support for your AppId. I had this issue often on previous titles using steamworks and the final solution was just sending an email to valve or a post in the steamworks dev group.
