Hi,

I’m trying to use the Online Beacon plugin. In Lyra’s

Steam\DefaultEngine.ini, I noticed a comment stating that SteamSocket doesn’t currently support beacon connections. Is that still the case?

If not, I’m testing this in UE 5.6 with the SteamSocket plugin. I was able to establish a host connection, but I’m unable to get the client to connect to the host. Could you provide guidance on how to set this up, assuming Online Beacons are supported with the SteamSocket plugin?

Thanks!

Hi,

I don’t believe Online Beacons are supported with Steam Sockets at this time. This has been raised with the team, but I unfortunately cannot provide an estimate as to when support would be available.

Thanks,

Alex
