Problems finding my online hosted game on Steam

I’m currently implementing a server browser for my game (following this guide: Implementing ServerBrowser Functionality with Steam - Epic Games Forums). However I’m never able to find the advertised game.

Here’s my basic setup:

In my class extending UDKGame:



class ColdGame extends UDKGame

simulated function PostBeginPlay()
{
    super.PostBeginPlay();

    InitOnlineSubSystem();
}

function InitOnlineSubSystem() {
    OnlineSub = class'GameEngine'.static.GetOnlineSubsystem();

    if (OnlineSub == None) {
        return;
    }
    GameInterface = OnlineSub.GameInterface;
}

//-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
// Creates the OnlineGame with the Settings we want
//-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
function CreateOnlineGame() {
    // Create the desired GameSettings
    currentGameSettings = new class'ColdOnlineGameSettings';
    currentGameSettings.bShouldAdvertise = true;
    currentGameSettings.NumPublicConnections = 32;
    currentGameSettings.NumPrivateConnections = 32;
    currentGameSettings.NumOpenPrivateConnections = 32;
    currentGameSettings.NumOpenPublicConnections = 32;
    currentGameSettings.bIsLanMatch = false;
    currentGameSettings.setServerName("MyTestServeronSteam");

    // Create the online game
    // First, set the delegate thats called when the game was created (cause this is async)
    GameInterface.AddCreateOnlineGameCompleteDelegate(OnGameCreated);

    // Try to create the game. If it fails, clear the delegate
    // Note: the playerControllerId == 0 is the default and noone seems to know what it actually does...
    if (GameInterface.CreateOnlineGame(class'UIInteraction'.static.GetPlayerControllerId(0), 'Game', currentGameSettings) == FALSE ) {
        GameInterface.ClearCreateOnlineGameCompleteDelegate(OnGameCreated);
        `Log("CreateOnlineGame - Failed to create online game.");
    }
}

//-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
// Delegate that gets called when the OnlineGame has been created.
// Actually sends the player to the game
//-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
function OnGameCreated(name SessionName, bool bWasSuccessful) {
    local string TravelURL;
    local Engine Eng;
    local PlayerController PC;
`log("Game created!!!"@SessionName@bWasSuccessful);
    // Clear the delegate we set.
    GameInterface.ClearCreateOnlineGameCompleteDelegate(OnGameCreated);

    if (bWasSuccessful) {
        Eng = class'Engine'.static.GetEngine();
        PC = Eng.GamePlayers[0].Actor;

        // Creation was successful, so send the player on the host to the level
        // Build the URL
        currentGameSettings.BuildURL(TravelURL);

        TravelURL = "open " 
            $ "ColdMap1"
            $ "?game=ColdGame"
            $ TravelURL $ "?listen?steamsockets";
        // Do the server travel.
        PC.ConsoleCommand(TravelURL);
    } else {
        `Log("OnGameCreated: Creation of OnlineGame failed!");
    }
}



My online game settings class:



class ColdOnlineGameSettings extends UDKGameSettingsCommon;

`include(ColdOnlineConstants.uci)

/** The UID of the steam game server, for use with steam sockets */
var databinding string SteamServerId;

/**
 * Builds a URL string out of the properties/contexts and databindings of this object.
 */
function BuildURL(out string OutURL) {
    local int SettingIdx;
    local name PropertyName;

    OutURL = "";

    // Append properties marked with the databinding keyword to the URL
    AppendDataBindingsToURL(OutURL);

    // add all properties
    for (SettingIdx = 0; SettingIdx < Properties.length; SettingIdx++) {
        PropertyName = GetPropertyName(Properties[SettingIdx].PropertyId);
        if (PropertyName != '') {
            switch(Properties[SettingIdx].PropertyId) {
                default:
                    OutURL $= "?" $ PropertyName $ "=" $ GetPropertyAsString(Properties[SettingIdx].PropertyId);
                    break;
            }
        }
    }
}
function setServerName(string serverName) {
    SetStringProperty(PROPERTY_MYSERVERNAME, serverName);
}

function string getServerName() {
    return GetPropertyAsString(PROPERTY_MYSERVERNAME);
}

DefaultProperties
{
    // Properties and their mappings
    Properties(0)=(PropertyId=PROPERTY_MYSERVERNAME,Data=(Type=SDT_String),AdvertisementType=ODAT_QoS)
    PropertyMappings(0)=(Id=PROPERTY_MYSERVERNAME,Name="ColdServerName")
}


So when I launch launch the game I call CreateOnlineGame() while on my menu map. The main map starts fine and I see the following in my log file:

This all looks like things should be working (apart from the line that reads: “DevOnline: Updating session info, address: 199.195.151.36:7777, ServerUID: 90110975859234816, bSteamSockets: 0”). I don’t know why is bSteamSockets: 0…

I then load up another instance of the game and call SearchOnlineGames() in my ColdGame class:



function SearchOnlineGames() {
    SearchSetting = new class'ColdOnlineSearchSettings';
    SearchSetting.bIsLanQuery = false;
    SearchSetting.MaxSearchResults = 50;
    // Cancel the Search first...cause there may be a former search still in progress
    GameInterface.CancelFindOnlineGames();
    GameInterface.AddFindOnlineGamesCompleteDelegate(OnServerQueryComplete);
    GameInterface.FindOnlineGames(class'UIInteraction'.static.GetPlayerControllerId(0), SearchSetting);
}

//-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
// Delegate that gets called when the ServerSearch is finished
//-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
function OnServerQueryComplete(bool bWasSuccessful) {
    local int i;
    local ColdOnlineGameSettings gs;

    searchResults = SearchSetting.Results;
    //Do something with search results... 

    GameInterface.ClearFindOnlineGamesCompleteDelegate(OnServerQueryComplete);
}


Class ColdOnlineSearchSettings:



class ColdOnlineSearchSettings extends OnlineGameSearch;
defaultproperties
{
    GameSettingsClass=class'ColdOnlineGameSettings'
}


When I search this is what logs:



[0012.38] ScriptLog: in SearchOnlineGames
[0012.38] DevOnline: Can't cancel a search that isn't in progress
[0012.38] DevOnline: Starting search for Internet games...

[0013.25] DevOnline: ServerListRefreshComplete: Got server list response without matching query


I honestly don’t know what i’m missing here. Has anyone had any experience with this that can share some insight?

Thanks
