Hello Folks !

Is it possible to link only steam without the online subsystem plugins ?

I explain :

  1. I don’t need to compile for consoles,
  2. the Steamworks documentation is really more complete than the OSS one,
  3. it will be really easier to update steam version (currently 1.32 in UE4 and 1.37 officially)
  4. (I don’t like using plugins, even if they are officials)

Thank you for reading !

hey mdonge,

Plugins are how systems like Steam are included into the engine. Even if you were to re-make how the Steam SDK interfaces with the engine, you’d probably want to do it as a Engine Plugin.

My best suggestion is not to go against the grain and use what has been provided, even if it not ideal in your view.
