did you ever sort out dedicated servers and how to join them with steam? i have a thread in elsewhere but no one seems to have an answer. i have steam running, i get what i think is a good message from the server log…

 ![e79879a51f.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/8/7/5/87524098085c68c37a183798199fb51e076f81de.png)

but i have no clue how to connect to it. i want it to be the only server to be connected to, i didnt want to have to search sessions (which i read may not work anyways) i just want to console command open to it… i tried  
open ip:port  
\<mysteamid\>:port

and neither seem to work.

going to try:

```auto

#include "ThirdParty/Steamworks/Steamv132/sdk/public/steam/steam_gameserver.h"

FString UMyServerBlueprintLibrary::GetServerSteamID() {

	if (SteamAPI_Init()) {

		//Return ID as String if Found
		return FString::FromInt(SteamGameServer_GetSteamID());
		);
	}

	return "Unknown";
}

```

but even if it works it will MAYBE give me the steam id of the server instance, but if it changes im going to be screwed lol.

So servers have the same SteamID as the user who hosts it? I’m not quite sure since I never done this, but you may check out [this](https://partner.steamgames.com/documentation/auth), because that topic seems to deal with server authentification…

You can log in with your normal Steam account there! So if you say your won’t compile, make sure that you also add Steamworks and the OnlineSubsystem parts to the Server.Build.cs!

According to the log he tries to delete old hot reload files, and then failes. Try doing that for him by removing all .dlls in your Binaries/WinXX folder

the issue isnt the deletion of those file, if you look there is an access denied, if i cook without that include i still get those unable to delete errors but it still finishes and works, it only gets the access denied when include teh gameserver file.

Yep I saw this… Generally if something has access denied I try to run it as admin, but I doubt that this is the problem here… I found this:

> [@'\[EPIC](#):

Could be because the files are write protected or because they are in use (editor running or something like that).

from [here](https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?216-Access-Denied-on-Build). That makes sense, try compiling it without having the editor open…

so strangely closing the editor allowed it to build. i never would of thought including steam\_api.h would work but including steam\_gameserver.h would require teh client to be closed. now for the next hurdle, lol.

so got it cooked and running but not doing what i expected ☹

back to teh drawing board to try to figure out the servers steam id… maybe the way it is starting up it just doesnt have one, i dont know, but without a valid player controller it cant seem to create a session… so im lost.

trying to work with InitSteamServer(uint32 unIP, uint16 usSteamPort, uint16 usGamePort, uint16 usQueryPort, EServerMode eServerMode, const char \*pchVersionString) but having issues with documentation i guess. as well as the compiler telling my its incompatible with a bool…

so graduated to trying this:

```auto

bool UMyServerBlueprintLibrary::InitMySteamServer(int32 iSteamPort, int32 iGamePort, FString versionText) {

	const char * versionChar = TCHAR_TO_ANSI(*versionText);

	if (SteamAPI_Init()) {
		if (SteamGameServer_Init(0, iSteamPort, iGamePort, iSteamPort, eServerModeAuthenticationAndSecure, versionChar)) {
			return 1;
		}
	}

	return 0;
}

```

with blueprint setup:

and getting “Failed to INIT Server!” and unable to find an open port error now… so the function is failing for some reason, maybe i am just not supposed to call it at all…

Problems after Problems xD… “::bind couldn’t find an open port between 7023 and 7023”. This is the Steam port, so are you sure that the ports are open and allowed in the firewall / whatever system you use?  
Edit: Are you still getting this Steam ID problem? Because it seems like the server is outputting the right Steam ID…

It’s giving me my steam Id but not it’s steam Id. And the port issue only shows an error if I try to in it the steam server. If I don’t use that function there is no error. So I’m thinking I’m trying to init it twice.

Maybe it inits the server automaticially so you won’t need custom code for that… And it’s steam id? I mean, I think the server has the steam ID of the guy who hosts the server, but if you run a server without steam open (which should be possible), how does he make up a steam id?

My server has steam open. Guess I just need to keep picking away at it… have to be close.
