Steam Overlay not work in 4.15?

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint
1

Hi, I can’t did works the STEAM integration with any project in 4.15.

I did same as various guides.

Put SDK in SOURCE, put Dll in Engine/Binary (getting steam_api.dll from SDK and from Binary and didn’t work any of two ways), i Try to put the binary in the Binaries of the project…

Try with SDK v132(thats unreal got), Lastet SDK v139… And always console outputs API Dissabled, Shutdown();

i tried couple of ways but never works.

I’m desesperate, i’m stupid or ,what i do wrong?

STEAM is my test project of Third Person.

I’m try too in:

Unreal Projects / Steam (is my project name) / Binaries / ThirdParty / Steamworks / Steamv132 / Win32 & 64 /

and no Overlay.

And in the plugin of project, STEAM enabled. But Overlay not appearing, and Shift+Tab not works, Obviusly in StandAlone mode. What i do Wrong?

yes, I´m facing the same problem, until 4.12 it works, testing in 4.15 can´t make it work :frowning:

Perhaps one of the options is broken. Try the simplist version:

This ^^ was working for me.

You really don’t need to import all those dll’s and such. Just make sure the steam plugin is enabled in the plugin menu. Then put in the settings mentioned in this article for defaultengine.ini and your projects config file Enabling UE4's Steam Integration
