I seem to have the same issues as the users in this post: Join Session does not work (Steam, Advanced sessions plugin)
I have set up steam multiplayer following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nMKEKV0acI&ab_channel=Hanayou
So I can create a session and have the host load the create level as a listen. However when I try join on another steam account via a join widget it says successful but nothing happens and it just stays in the menu. The session ping displays as 9999 which I have done a little research into and that seems to be an issue but I haven’t found a fix that works for that. Also when joining through steam invite the join session fails.
When testing not with steam I am able to join the session and in editor it also works.
I am using the same game instance as the one made in the tutorial and have set it.
I have tried using a shipping build but even though I have the file steam_appid.txt it seems to not connect to steam when making a shipping build. I’m usually packing a development build.
In the third ss you can see the session id printed. this is when I join the session using the join widget.
The Fifth ss shows when joining via invite.
I have 2 logs one from my pc trying to join one from it being the host if that helps. I haven’t look through the logs fully as not too sure what I should be looking for.
I have also tried a solution where I enable steam sockets that lets me brief join the level for a split second before taking me back to the main menu again so I am no longer using that.
