Thats exactly what I was telling you 
Yea posted within a minute of each other haha, thanks again for watching this thread 
would of sucked to take steam out since i would of had to put the account system back in that i completely deleted and used the steamID for.
No problem If you have further problems, just tell 'em!
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 logâŚ
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:
#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? Iâm not quite sure since I never done this, but you may check out this, because that topic seems to deal with server authentificationâŚ
if i try to do what i mentioned it wont compile the dedicated server for some reason. so taht is out of the question. what you posted i have to have an account to view im guessing? since it has no info there that i can see.
You can log in with your normal Steam account there! So if you say your wonât compile, make sure that you also add Steamworks and the OnlineSubsystem parts to the Server.Build.cs!
i dont have a server.build.csâŚ
and the server compiles, just not if i use anything from #include âThirdParty/Steamworks/Steamv132/sdk/public/steam/steam_gameserver.hâ

[/SPOILER]
As soon as i include that file i get that failure in frontend where i build the dedicated server. i can build in VS and in UE4 no problem.
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:
from here. That makes sense, try compiling it without having the editor openâŚ
i will try it tonight after work, thanks.
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 boolâŚ
so graduated to trying this:
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 âFailed to INIT Server!â 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 allâŚ
Problems after Problems xD⌠â::bind couldnât find an open port between 7023 and 7023â. 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 IDâŚ
Itâs giving me my steam Id but not itâs steam Id. And the port issue only shows an error if I try to in it the steam server. If I donât use that function there is no error. So Iâm thinking Iâm trying to init it twice.
Maybe it inits the server automaticially so you wonât need custom code for that⌠And itâs 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.
