I already have this problem since I started with Unreal, I already added the latest version of the SDK gives steam in the created folder Engine / ThirdParty / Win64 and Win32, I already put the code OnlineSubSystemEngine in the DefaultEngine.ini and I already activated all plugins of the type OnlineSubsystemSteam and OnlineSubSystem, I have also imported AdvancedSessions and AdvancedSessions plugins and enabled both, and I use the packaging configuration for sending using pak and gunk files and in the gunks, and when I go to the packaging it appears a yellow error (WARNING) Steam API Disabled ! OnlineSubSystemSteam / Shutdown! And when I finish packaging I open my game and nothing Steam runs inside the game (I was sure steam was running) but nothing, it only works in the editor. I need a tutorial because I already did everything and it does not work. ![227635-eroeiocnsisfssaosfa.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/9/e/0/9e06a51551b8d258baaf167ba903ea138e5c4862.png) ---

Actually, I also have this warning, but Steam integration works perfectly. Could you provide your GameTarget and EditorTarget C# build scripts, as well as your DefaultEngine.ini? ---

What did you mean by Typos? I got the code to put in DefaultEngine.ini on Unreal’s own website, but I’ll do what you said. ---

Idk if it matters but you wrote ipNetDriver instead of IpNetDriver, and the SteamNetDriver line is not in quotes and not with the /Script/ directory. Like I said i don’t know if that matters, but primarily you should update your target.cs files to use bUseSteam = true; ---

OK, The first step is for me to remove the: bUseSteam = true; of Default.Engine.ini Second step is I add ipNetdriver, to the / Script / directory directory. And the third step is for me to update my target.cs with bUseSteam = true right? ---

Nothing, I followed the tutorial, I tried to do everything but nothing of work, knows some site where I can download the project already with this engine in operation with steam for packaging? It does not matter the Unreal Engine version. ---

Hi, firstly please don’t post another answer for everything you write. Use the comment function of my first answer. Second, please follow the whole tutorial. I don’t know why you had the idea to remove bUseSteam of your DefaulEngine.ini, it doesn’t exist there. Please make sure that the following steps are correctly executed: 1. Add the DLL’s steamclient.dll, tier0.dll and vstdlib.dll to the specified folder in the Engine (steamapi.dll already there). The same for the 64-bit versions 2. Update Build.cs and Target.cs with the lines specified 3. Change the Default.ini to contain the specified lines. 4. Also make sure to create a development build. If you create a shipping build you have to manually create a steam\_appid.txt-file in the folder of your .exe (not the root of the packaged game but GameName/Binaries). In that file there should be your gameid (480 for testing) ---

Hi Birdfree I’ve found that whenever I try to update my build.cs and target.cs it’s overwritten during the packaging process and returned to default. Any ideas how to set this correctly? ---

I had the warning and it works now even though the I could never update my .cs files. The main culprit was the steam\_appid.txt ---
