Hi guys, In the last 4 days I searched in every post, every tutorial, every wiki, doc or something, but nobody knows whats happening. I follow step-by-step this tutorial: > **[Online Subsystem Steam](https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/ProgrammingAndScripting/Online/Steam/)** > > An overview of Online Subsystem Steam, including how to set up your project for distribution on Valve's Steam platform. > **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)** > > After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline. These resources now live on a new community-run Unreal Engine Community Wiki — ue4community.wiki! You will be able to find content from the official... changing **DefaultEngine.ini** properly ``` [/Script/Engine.GameEngine] !NetDriverDefinitions=ClearArray +NetDriverDefinitions=(DefName="GameNetDriver",DriverClassName="OnlineSubsystemSteam.SteamNetDriver",DriverClassNameFallback="OnlineSubsystem.IpNetDriver") [OnlineSubsystem] ;DefaultPlatformService=Null DefaultPlatformService=Steam PollingIntervalInMs=20 [OnlineSubsystemSteam] bEnableSteam=True bEnabled=True SteamAppId=378930 SteamDevAppId=378930 GameServerQueryPort=27015 bRelaunchInSteam=False P2PConnectionTimeout=90 bAllowP2PPacketRelay=True bVACEnabled=1 GameVersion=1.0.0.0 Achievement_0_Id="ACH_DIE_ONE_TIME" ;others archievements removed [OnlineSubsystemNull] Achievement_0_Id=ACH_DIE_ONE_TIME Achievement_0_bIsHidden=false Achievement_0_Title="First Blood" Achievement_0_LockedDesc="This Archievement is not for you.

But in shipping build show this message: ``` UE4Editor-Cmd: [2016.01.05-04.25.23:668][0]LogOnline:Display: STEAM: Loading Steam SDK 1.32 UE4Editor-Cmd: [2016.01.05-04.25.23:668][0]LogOnline:Warning: STEAM: check if steam api is enabled UE4Editor-Cmd: [2016.01.05-04.25.23:871][0]LogOnline:Warning: STEAM: Failed to initialize Steam, this could be due to a Steam server and client running on the same machine.

Addicional information. im my game.target.cs is set to Game, not server or client. Type = TargetType.Game; ``` using UnrealBuildTool; using System.Collections.Generic; public class ProjectPesadeloTarget : TargetRules { public ProjectPesadeloTarget(TargetInfo Target) { Type = TargetType.Game; bUsesSteam = true; } // // TargetRules interface. // public override void SetupBinaries( TargetInfo Target, ref List OutBuildBinaryConfigurations, ref List OutExtraModuleNames ) { OutExtraModuleNames.AddRange( new string[] { "ProjectPesadelo" } ); } } ``` ---

Is steam running on your machine? The steam client? Do you have any other games open that use steam? ---

Guys, I accidentally solve that problem. Simple: in shipping build process. Steam shutting down. After process finished. go to: **[yourProjectFolderName]**/Saved/StagedBuild/WindowsNoEditor/**[yourProjectFolderName]**/Binaries/Win64/ and paste a file called **steam\_appid.txt** or create one. and finally, problem solved. Steam pop-up comes up and everything works again.
