Thanks for the great tutorials, they have helped a lot. I am having a similar issue. I am running UE 5.3 and the plugins don't produce any error but it doesn't work in game (friend list and lobby tutorial). Any ideas for how to fix this?
I an on UE5.3 as well and I still don't get steam pop up on the right corner, any idea why?(I updated the plugin by simply replacing them from 5.1 to 5.3)@@fade7955
I had a fatal error when trying to open the packaged version, turns out I just had to enable the third plugin that you said in the comments and it worked fine.
Thank you so much, I was watching someone else tutorial and there AdvancedSessionsPlugin was really out of date but yours worked instantly thanks for keeping this uptodate, going to check out the rest off your stuff keep it up :)
What I did to fix my C++ compilation errors was: Go to my Visual Studio Installer -> Select whatever version I was using -> Modify -> Ticked the "Game development with C++" -> And confirmed modify in the bottom right corner. After that it seemed to work. Hope it helps
👍I wish I could subscribe twice! Awesome vid, thank you. I'm on 5.3.2 and I didn't need to do the C++ part, but I did have to use the advice in your pinned post to enable that third plugin. Thanks again and keep up the great work.😊
@geekandnerdlife5632 I got the overlay and join locally without doing the C++ part too. But now I'm having trouble joining from other networks and I am worried this is a red herring. Did you get this to work fully?
Hey @@SterlingNesbitt sorry your right, later I realized I needed to do the c++ part to join. It was just the overlay and local like you say, to get fully working I did need the c++. Was easy to do tho. Cheers.
@@NiceShadowYoo, I didn't think you would respond. Glad you've read my message. Don't worry about posting often, your content has quality and easy to understand. I would like to see a discord for this channel, I think it would help you and it would for a great community
I'm late here but for those of you still watching this. I have the general solution for most "can't compile" errors. It's generally a Visual Studio issue and you need to make sure you have it installed and you want to create a brand new project with c++ instead of blueprint box ticked. When it fails it will ask to load inside of Visual Studio, do it. When it fails there it will figure out what parts of visual studio you are missing and ask you to allow it to install those missing parts. GL.
Apologies for any confusion earlier. After some testing, I found a few issues with the project without using C++. You can add C++ functionality whenever you want and everything should work fine. And from my tests, everything seems to work fine if you create it as a C++ project from the beginning.
Im afraid to advance to the next video. I have activated the 3 plugins and made sure that steam overlay is turned on in steam and I'm still not getting the steam pop up. I've restarted my game and still nothing. No error and no pop up. Any suggestions anyone?
After making the C++ class, I followed your steps and now my project file does not work. It wants me to rebuild from source manually. Any help? This video screwed up my project.
I don´t know if you solved it, but check your Vidiual Studio Version. You need Visual Studio 2022 or higher. I tryed it with the 2019 Version and it doesn´t work. I updated to 2022 Version and it´s working. I hope I was helping you

Hey :) Kann ich eine Session auch erst dann erstellen, sobald ich einem Freund eine Beitrittsanfrage über das Steam-Overlay geschickt habe? Und MUSS ich einem neuen Level mit "listen" beitreten, nachdem ich eine Session erstellt habe, oder kann man im selben Level (bsp. dem Menü) bleiben? Z.B. können in COD-Zombies oder Dead by Daylight Spieler bereits im Menü der Session joinen, ohne dass man einem neuen Level beitreten muss. Hast du irgendwelche Anlaufstellen, wie man das umsetzen könnte (verlinke gerne auch eins deiner Videos)? Vielen Dank im Voraus!:)
Heyy, ja das funktioniert. Du kannst direkt wenn du das Spiel startest eine session automatisch erstellen. Deine menu wäre dann in deine Hauptgameplay map integriert. Also ganz am Anfang als start up map würde ich eine empty map als start up map haben wo dann direkt automatisch die gameplay map (wo man ja erst ins menu kommt) mit listen geöffnet wird. Dann kann man auch Freunde einladen und wenn man eine Einladung annimmt musst vor dem joinen die eigene session destroyt werden.
Hey so i was having trouble getting the overlay to pop up and i found that the was my computer was copying the script was kind a fricked up.

I am writing through a translator. It doesn’t work for me, or more precisely, the Steam window in the lower right corner does not appear. I did everything 1 in 1 as in the video. Worked on Unreal Engine 5.3.2 Also, in the following lessons there is a problem with Get give steam avatar friend or something like that. This node will just not work Changed: The author's advice about connecting another Online Subsystem Steam plugin worked! On version 5.3.2 If anything, it connects in Unreal itself in the search for plugins
regarding the steam overlay you only need to check again the stuff you pasted in the default engine ini file if you really did that right. Also you need to have steam running and play in standalone game.
@@NiceShadow Thanks for the advice, but I decided on your assigned advice. The Online Subsystem plugin helped me. Thank you so much for creating this kind of content.

Could not be compiled. Try rebuilding from source manually. Guess I have to get into building UE5 from source manually then? Edit: Nah, just gotta install the visual studio stuff per replies to fix this. Thanks NiceShadow!
No, you have only to install visual studio stuff. Search for tutorials how to use c++ with unreal engine. There it's explained which modules you need to install in visual studio
@@NiceShadow Huh ok. I thought I did but I'm going through documentation now to verify that. That's what the other posts seem to confirm lol. Thanks for the quick reply!!!
When I tried rebuilding the project manually it said it couldnt be compiled and i have to rebuild it manually what do i do?! I even tried updatind visual studio that did nothing
I didn't test it for the latest version yet. But you can try it without creating this c++ class, so that your project stays blueprints only. If you later notice then any problems with session creating/joining, you can still back up your project and then doing the c++ step shown in this tutorial to test if it works then
So currently the project will work, but if you package it in any way and try to run it like that, the game won't even boot and will just leave you with an ICU error@@NiceShadow
@@NiceShadow I think so too... the game pad is related to the plugin, though. it is not a plugin itself it is steam when you use steam id=480. But my problem with shaking is a mystery.. it is only on stand-alone window with steam active. The character looks like rag doll physic fighting with idle animation or something. I don't think it is related to the plugin. When I package the game, there is no problem. I'll continue to debug the animation..
This did not work. When I tried to open my project file after creating the new C++ class it shows the popup asking to rebuild. When I click yes, it says it cannot rebuild and I should try manually rebuilding the source.... I probably should have backed up my project before trying this...
