Hi I followed the advice given here and enable the steam sockets plugin and changed my .ini and this has allowed me to join the host but on create session it joins the level but then takes me right back to the main menu level. So it solves one issues but gives me another is there a solution to this I have seen other threads talking about this issue with steam sockets but haven’t seen a solution.  
Have my own post on the matter: [Join Session not working Steam Multiplayer](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/join-session-not-working-steam-multiplayer/2608242)
