Servertravel with Steam

Drommedhar · December 14, 2014, 3:12pm

Hi,

I have a bit of trouble using the SeamlessTravel option over the Steam Network.
My clients always get disconnected after a “servertravel %mapname%” is called.

Looking into the log file they get the info to load the new map, load it and after that they get dropped.

As you can see it starts to load the map “TransitionMap” but after that the NetDriver get’s shut down.
It continues to load the map (you can see it at the bottom of the log) but can’t connect to the server (or that’s what I think what happens here).

The server on the other side does process the switch to the new map and seems to close the connection, even after I set the “bUseSeamlessTravel = true;” in C++ in my GameMode.

I currently have a blueprint parented to my custom GameMode in C++, which is setting the bool in the constructor.
I then have a menu based on UMG Widgets and have a client connect over the steam api (via the new Nodes in Unreal 4.6). That’s working perfectly.
Then the server does a “servertravel TransitionMap” to change the map (through Execute Console Command or directly in the console doesn’t matter).

Is there anything more I need to do, to keep connections to the client alive?

Thanks in advance for any help.

push It’s really important for us to get this working. No one has an idea?

Drommedhar · December 20, 2014, 9:44am

Just updated to Unreal 4.6.1 and it suddenly started working. So looks like it was a bug in 4.6.0.
For all who might get the same problem!

Omberone · March 2, 2015, 1:20pm

We still have the same problem

GG-GoraGames · March 19, 2015, 1:21am

Do you solve the problem, we are in 4.7.3 and can’t still Servertravel to map.
Also use steamworks.

GG-GoraGames · March 19, 2015, 1:21am

Nope, 4.7.3 still the same

Hello HitEmUp,

Are you receiving the exact same error messages as Drommedar?

He claims his issue was resolved in 4.6.1.

For those experiencing the issue still, have a look over the documentation to see if you might have overlooked something when setting up your server scripting.

Online Session Nodes

Let me know if you manage to address your issue, or if you have additional questions.

Thanks,

Janyx · March 30, 2015, 10:52pm

4.7.3 it works with the OnlineSubsystemNull but if you are using the OnlineSubsystemSteam it stops working all of a sudden.

anonymous_user_6e7b421a · March 31, 2015, 3:08pm

Hey all,

Have you made sure to follow the documentation provided when attempting to use the Online Steam Subsystem?

“The Steam subsystem requires some additional setup through Valve. Contact Valve and use their documentation to make sure you are setup on their end before attempting to use Steam in the Unreal Engine.”

If you have then no worries. We are constantly working to improve the Steam Subsystem and its compatibility so we appreciate your patience while fixes are implemented for this feature.

Thank you,

anonymous_user_201fe5321 · July 9, 2015, 12:24pm

Hey Andrew,

I have the exact same issue. I was wondering if you could give a little explanation on how and where I should contact valve about this. And why that solves the problem of ServerTravel not working with steam.

I also created a simple project that demonstrates the issue. I can give if you need it for anything.

Thank you,

anonymous_user_6e7b421a · July 13, 2015, 3:29pm

Hey ,

The ServerTravel command is handled by the Server, which if using the steam subsystem, you will be using steam servers.

Currently our documentation on the Steam Subsystem is slightly limited, and we ask users to navigate to the steam support page for additional support.
