Steam Is Not Working for Me In Beta5 Either, Connecting By IP Still Good

ue4-archive · March 11, 2014, 2:23am

Dear Friends at Epic,

I was instructed by Josh and Dimitry to wait until Beta5 before taking my Steam efforts further.

Well, The log messages have changed a little but, I still get the same steam errors

when using -log with vehicle game
when loading the main editor
when loading my game
When loading my game using the Packaged version (currently on drop box for your testing purposes)

and I am using these settings in DefaultEngine.ini

[Core.Log]
LogNet=Log
LogOnline=verbose ;online logging
LogAnalytics=log

[/Script/Engine.GameEngine]
!NetDriverDefinitions=ClearArray
+NetDriverDefinitions=(DefName="GameNetDriver",DriverClassName="OnlineSubsystemSteam.SteamNetDriver",DriverClassNameFallback="OnlineSubsystem.IpNetDriver")
+NetDriverDefinitions=(DefName="NoSteamNetDriver",DriverClassName="OnlineSubsystem.IpNetDriver",DriverClassNameFallback="OnlineSubsystem.IpNetDriver")

[OnlineSubsystem]
;DefaultPlatformService=Null
DefaultPlatformService=Steam
PollingIntervalInMs=20

;Josh also mentioned as steam app id 
;212960
;204700
[OnlineSubsystemSteamworks]
bEnableSteam=true
SteamDevAppId=212960
GameServerQueryPort=27015
bRelaunchInSteam=false
GameVersion=1.0.0.0
bVACEnabled=1
bAllowP2PPacketRelay=true
P2PConnectionTimeout=90

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

I’ve tried commenting out various parts of these settings to no avail

#What is Better and Different

In Beta 5, the OnlineSubsystem actually does get found!

Yay!

I’ve not tried fiddling with the steam version of the online sub yet

Josh mentioned that just cause log shows error doesnt mean steam didn load so if I find anything else out I will let you know

but

do YOU all get Steam errors?

#Pictures for You

I did reinstall Steam

Loading Main Editor, note the exact file location of the steam_appid that is not being created/destroyed as an error in log

I did a complete wipe of my Steam install and re-installed it form scratch

and still the behavior is the same

I did put steam_appid in my binaries

I have steam_appid in binaries/win64 for my game as well as the one that come with rocket install

curiously the log error only refers to the main rocket install steam_appid.txt

#Ideas Please

I have no idea how to get steam integration working!

Please help!

Open IP is great but steam sockets are more robust

#Every Indication that Open IP Still Works

I have not tested with another person yet but I have every indication that Open IP is still working the same for me as in Beta4 which = fabulously well

#Packaged Game of 388Mb On Drop Box

For your testing to see if the steam issue is local to my computer / rocket install or something else

#Thanks!

Thanks!

#Packaged Multiplayer Game Video

This is a video showing that actual real Multiplayer works via IP with the packaged version of my game!

Hey Rama

First of all, Steam subsystem seems to be disabled in your configuration files. Please make sure that bEnabled is set to true for OnlineSubsystemSteam, i.e. the following is in the .ini:

OnlineSubsystemSteam]
bEnabled=true

Second, using our app id was found to be problematic during Beta stage, but let’s first get your Steam subsystem initialized to see if it is relevant for your use case. This

[0000.51][  1]LogLoad:  Platform Initialization: 0.00 seconds
[0000.52][  1]LogOnline:Warning: STEAM: Steam API disabled!
[0000.52][  1]LogOnline:Display: STEAM: OnlineSubsystemSteam::Shutdown()

should not happen after bEnabled is set to true in the .ini.

Regards,

Dear Dimitry,

Great to hear from you again!

Well about bEnabled, I’ve had that set the whole time, I got that setting from the shooteragame example in beta4

If you look above I also have my project on dropbox and I seem to recall you downloaded a previous version in beta4 and had no steam issues on your end, can you check if that is true now, in beta5?

the download is a packaged install

Thank Dimitry!

I’m determined to get Steam working!

Well, .ini files from previous Betas may not work - e.g. Steam subsystem has been renamed from OnlineSubsystemSteamworks to OnlineSubsystemSteam, so at least that section name needs to be corrected. Your logs indicate that bEnabled from that section is not being picked up - let’s sort this out first before looking further

As a side note, it’s better to base your config files upon examples shipped with the current beta. Does ShooterGame work with Steam for you?

ue4-archive · March 11, 2014, 2:23am

holy moly! Yes!

new shootergame works with steam! (I did not check if shootergame was updated before)

I will analyze how to update my project based on this and let you know!

woohoo!!! (steam in shootergame did not work for me in beta4)

yay!

Thanks Dimitry!

ue4-archive · March 11, 2014, 2:23am

WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

STEAM WORKS!

All I did was copy over the defaultengine.ini steam stuff from new shootergame exapmle and now it works!

ue4-archive · March 11, 2014, 2:23am

Woo-hoo Pleased to read
