Hey Peeps.

i have encountered this problem, where i have this bug… i could say

Whenever i use standalone game, steam connects to my game…

But if i package the project, suddenly, steam dosen’t recognize my game… any ideas?

DefaultEngine.ini:

```auto
[/Script/Engine.GameEngine]
+NetDriverDefinitions=(DefName="GameNetDriver",DriverClassName="OnlineSubsystemSteam.SteamNetDriver",DriverClassNameFallback="OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver")

[OnlineSubsystem]
DefaultPlatformService=Steam

[OnlineSubsystemSteam]
bEnabled=true
SteamDevAppId=480

; If using Sessions
; bInitServerOnClient=true

[/Script/OnlineSubsystemSteam.SteamNetDriver]
NetConnectionClassName="OnlineSubsystemSteam.SteamNetConnection"

```

according to [random answer on the internet](https://community.gamedev.tv/t/steam-appid-txt-not-working-for-ue5-packaged-build/201340), you should uncomment the line `; bInitServerOnClient=true`.

If it didn’t help - specify engine version you are using, since things may differ significantly depending on it.
