Sadly I can get the session to connect in UE 5.4.3, but I am unable to get the pawns to spawn. I get a confirmed connection, but only the local player is showing
I already know previous knowledge from other tutorials but still had trouble. Thank you for a recent up to date tutorial of how to use the advance session for steam. FINALLY everything works now. You got a subscriber! Other question I'm still confuse about is if the "advance steam session" or the "create advance session" node is still part of EOS, which can allow cross play with consoles?
It's only working when using LAN, I have Steam opened on a C++ project, any solutions? Edit: Is it because you can't join your own Steam account's Steam lobby?
Hi, I followed your tutorial but at the end, It does find the session but the Join always fail, I did try in LAN using PIE and it works fine any tips ?
I had this problem and the solution was that the code for joining the session needs to be in the Game Instance and not on the Widget, like is done with the create session. Hope this helps.
So I noticed that you didn't check the "Use LAN" box on both the finding and creation of sessions. However, for mine I cannot find a session on my local machine without having Use LAN selected while creating the session
Hi, this use LAN checkbox doesn't work as intended. If you start the game in standalone and steam is running, it will create/join a session always with Steam, no matter if you've LAN checked or not. Do you can create and find a session if you're just starting 2 editor windows from the project (not standalone)
Quick question, everything worked in the standalone version of ue5, but when uploaded to steam, the hosting worked, but the finding the session part didn't work. Any advice on what to do?
I used this to create a main menu and then watched and implemented your 4 lobby videos... Once my players are all "traveled" to the gameplay map I am having an issue where my clients movement is replicated on the server player character. I am Using BP_ThirdPersonCharacter as my pawns in my gameplay map. Is there a tutorial that teaches how to set up multiplayer controls on server travel or have I just done something wrong?
@NiceShadow how can i combine them into one button like some of AAA games if there is a space you can join with friends or alone if there is no space create new session i did a branch and try to connect both codes but did not work always faild to join not creating a session
No matter what it's always saying that it failed to join the session, I'm going to try and figure out why but if anyone else has had similar issues any help would be greatly appreciated
Not sure what I did wrong, but it works with the new editor window (lan), but not when I do standalone. I made sure to create the empty C++ class and have steam open and followed the linked tutorial before this one, but I just get Failed to Find Session when I press to auto find session button. I do see the steam overlay, so not sure what is wrong.
The CreateSession event is an event that I create in 7:57. In 12:23 I'm executing this event from the menu widget blueprint and taking the reference to the game instance to it. As an alternative you could get game instance and cast to BP_OurGameInstance and there execute the CreateServer event.
If I were to publish on Steam, what should I do with Steamworks SDK? Is it compatible? Do I need it at all if I already have the Advanced Session plugin?
10:59 BEWARE!!!!! If not working read below If using your own Custom Player Controller make sure you include the block of code as soon as begin play starts or else, you won't be able to Move your player Controller! I am currently using the First-Person Template and encountered this small issue BUT If you are following along using the provided "Third Person Template", shown in this video you shouldn't encounter any issues! Also thank you @NiceShadow I finished this video and everything is working fine so far! I even did the 5min advanced session plugin next step NameTags!
Okayyy. If your create like this no one can join your session. Because its blueprint project and blueprint project is buggy. You need to create empty C++ file or you need to create your project with C++ project Then you can use Blueprint. If you dont do like that , No one can see your session. If they join your session game kicking them back to main menu. You need to create c++ class or project.
Yes you're right. I'll create a separate video about that because it's not directly related to this tutorial - it's for Advanced Session projects in general. I'll link the video then and create a pinned comment. Or maybe I'll upload my set up tutorial again and include it there.
Hello, thanks for the video, it is very useful. A query, is this system the best when it comes to security in functionality? I mean, is it correct to use it? Also, do you recommend the system to travel between levels "Server travel"? Thank you
I do have one question did you have the issue were joining session doesnt always let you join i have a lot of times that if found a session and joins it but doesnt actually send me to the session
Great that you learned a lot. This shoulnd't become a series again. But for sure this is not the last tutorial regarding advanced sessions. I really want to upload again within the next weeks but maybe also other unreal tutorials.

One of the most concise and easy to follow tutorials I have come across for UE , thank you!
You even thought that world window will not be open in my browser.. nice move man!

faild to find session when i launch in standalone i ma using unreal engine 5.2.1 and plugin version 5.1 can you pls help me to fix it
did you find a fix?
Find Sessions Advanced just gets the "On Failure" exec pin to Print String.
I've created a null c++ class as well.
So I noticed that you didn't check the "Use LAN" box on both the finding and creation of sessions. However, for mine I cannot find a session on my local machine without having Use LAN selected while creating the session

Would you be able to do a video that explain how to find match using Azure PlayFab? it looks like an amazing tool

Another amazing and useful tutorial. Can't wait for more.
bro what is this plugin called? i cant find an advanced session plugin.
Hi! Eventhough I created the C++ class, the engine keeps crashing whenever I use a blank project with this plugin. Is there any solution to this?

Are you using UE 5.1? If so nothing will work with it as there is a bug for joining sessions in that version
@@Manim8 Amigo quiero intentarlo, si uso la 5.0.3 crees que funcione? por favor espero que puedas responder para mañana.
@@Mr.Keygar Yes it works in 5.03 👍
@@Manim8 gracias por responder no pude aguantar la noche así que lo hice y funcionó voy a exportarlo y probar con un amigo
same issue here.
does not work between 2 sperated computers
Hey it's been quite a long time since your last upload. Do you have plans on when you're gonna upload again because your tutorials are really useful
Yes, I really wanna do that and soon (next week). I was updating my marketplace asset which took all my concentration but now I'm done with that 😉
Why I always create session failure? FOnCreateSessionCompleteDelegate always returns false.

Had to refresh visual studio project to get it to work
How can u did that i create a Session but i cant joining
@@JJJones-ou4ls How do you refresh visual studio project?
I wonder how to do it, to where you can pick the session you want to join.
That would be with a server browser then. The tutorial is planned...
@@NiceShadow great I can't wait
12:23 how are you passing game instance ref as the target into the create session event if the create session event doesn't have an input?
The CreateSession event is an event that I create in 7:57. In 12:23 I'm executing this event from the menu widget blueprint and taking the reference to the game instance to it. As an alternative you could get game instance and cast to BP_OurGameInstance and there execute the CreateServer event.
If I were to publish on Steam, what should I do with Steamworks SDK? Is it compatible? Do I need it at all if I already have the Advanced Session plugin?
I didn't oublish a game yet, so you better research that topic. But afaik you don't need to install the steamworks sdk additionally
sir mobile not open Advanced Session
I don't think that you've access to the Steam subsystem on mobile

Okayyy. If your create like this no one can join your session.
Because its blueprint project and blueprint project is buggy.
You need to create empty C++ file or you need to create your project with C++ project
Then you can use Blueprint.
If you dont do like that , No one can see your session. If they join your session game kicking them back to main menu. You need to create c++ class or project.
Yes you're right. I'll create a separate video about that because it's not directly related to this tutorial - it's for Advanced Session projects in general. I'll link the video then and create a pinned comment. Or maybe I'll upload my set up tutorial again and include it there.
what I just on relase my project 2 days ago and I try to host session and no ones sees session. thats the reason why they are not see ?
Now I only need create empty c++ file
@@cjdaylight3407 you need to create c++ component or you can create new c++ project and migrate with your project thats clean way.
@@blackprince1637 Thanks for fast reply I will try this right now

Why?

Hello, thanks for the video, it is very useful. A query, is this system the best when it comes to security in functionality? I mean, is it correct to use it? Also, do you recommend the system to travel between levels "Server travel"? Thank you
That woulde be if you had a lobby of players and wanted to transfer them somwere else for example
Hi NicShadow ,
thanks a lot for your tutorials❤️❤️.
Can we using only advanced session plugin for our project?
Hey, you're welcome. What do you mean by only? Or what else do you thought of?
I do have one question did you have the issue were joining session doesnt always let you join i have a lot of times that if found a session and joins it but doesnt actually send me to the session
No, always when I found a session I was able to join it
Hmm intresting because i also asked a other UE dev that is working on this and he has the exact same problem@@NiceShadow
