Steam online subsystem does not work only on my steam account

Development Programming & Scripting
1

When using the steam subsystem and packaging my game, my other test computer can run it on its own steam account, but when its run on my steam account the online sessions fail to create every time. The only solution I have found is to use a different steam account but that is a work around at best. I have also contacted steam support just in case but if this is a problem that anyone knows the solution I would love some help.

It seems that theFOnlineAsynchTaskSteamCreateLobby access denied line is a major issue here

Are you trying to connect two game sessions using the same steam account? As in, both computers are running your personal steam account and they are not connecting?

3

This is even before im trying to connect two computers, the create session blueprint node fails to create one so that would not be possible. The issue is that the create session blueprint does succeed when im logged into a steam account that is not my main. A problem I would like to fix

For anyone looking for a solution like I am i recommend actually trying to run the game App Id 480, for me, when I try to host a game in valves own example game it also fails so it must mean it is not to do with my game, and as such I will post a solution to this once I find out what to do.

I decided to plunge into getting my own steam ID and that seemed to fix this, though I don’t really like that I guess it works for me just for anyone looking for a solution

Have you solved your problem?I’m having the same problem. I’m running something online in the editor that works, but it doesn’t work when it’s packaged. I’m using an ID of 480.

I have my own steam ID, and I am running into the same issue still. My normal steam account seems to use the subsystem completely fine with my game, but my other steam account (that I am trying to test with from a separate computer) refuses to connect to the subsystem. Not sure what the deal is. Any input for me would be helpful if you had anything dark.

Did you ever figure this out? I am having the same exact issue. The only way I can get other accounts to work is if I add the user to steamworks.
