I can't join servers with the Steam Online Subsystem.

Ok, so I would first like to say that I am kind of new when it comes to stuff like this, but I’ve been throwing almost anything at the wall and hoping it sticks. For the past idek how many hours (like 13) I’ve been using this god forsaken subsystem and it’s only fed me lies and false hopes. Every tutorial I watch digs me into a larger hole made of rock. I tried using the steam sockets, but it now means I can’t find any servers. My .ini file ending looks like this

[/Script/Engine.GameEngine]
!NetDriverDefinitions=ClearArray
+NetDriverDefinitions=(DefName=“GameNetDriver”,DriverClassName=“/Script/SteamSockets.SteamSocketsNetDriver”,DriverClassNameFallback=“/Script/SteamSockets.SteamNetSocketsNetDriver”)

[OnlineSubsystem]
DefaultPlatformService=Steam

[OnlineSubsystemSteam]
bEnabled=true
SteamDevAppId=480
bUsesPresence=true
bUseLobbiesIfAvailable=true
bInitServerOnClient=true
bUseSteamNetworking=true
bAllowP2PPacketRelay=true

[/Script/OnlineSubsystemSteam.SteamNetDriver]
NetConnectionClassName=“OnlineSubsystemSteam.SteamNetConnection”

also the plugins just decide that they wanna stop (for some reason)

I’ve looked through like 20 forums it feels like and ever answer is like “Use Steam Sockets!”. I can’t tho it just breaks the find node for some reason. If anyone has found a fix for this, that would be awesome. I can send blueprint screenshots if needed.

Also sorry if this comes off as whiny, I’m just very tired.

I give up. I might try again at some point, but for now ima just use 5.4
