I am using FishNet + SteamHeathens + FishySteamworks and am experiencing an issue with steam. Could not parse address 76561199270820816 to IPAddress.
It seems to be to do with this section of code below

        private void OnLobbyCreated(LobbyCreated_t callback)
        {
            if (callback.m_eResult != EResult.k_EResultOK)
                return;
     
            CurrentLobbyID = callback.m_ulSteamIDLobby;
            SteamMatchmaking.SetLobbyData(new CSteamID(CurrentLobbyID), "HostAddress", SteamUser.GetSteamID().ToString());
            SteamMatchmaking.SetLobbyData(new CSteamID(CurrentLobbyID), "name", SteamFriends.GetPersonaName().ToString() + "'s lobby");
            _fishySteamworks.SetClientAddress(SteamUser.GetSteamID().ToString());
            _fishySteamworks.StartConnection(true);
            Debug.Log("Lobby creation was successful");
        }
     
        private void OnJoinRequest(GameLobbyJoinRequested_t callback)
        {
            SteamMatchmaking.JoinLobby(callback.m_steamIDLobby);
        }
     
        private void OnLobbyEntered(LobbyEnter_t callback)
        {
            CurrentLobbyID = callback.m_ulSteamIDLobby;
            
            MainMenuUI.LobbyEntered(SteamMatchmaking.GetLobbyData(new CSteamID(CurrentLobbyID), "name"), _networkManager.IsServerStarted);
            
            _fishySteamworks.SetClientAddress(SteamMatchmaking.GetLobbyData(new CSteamID(CurrentLobbyID), "HostAddress")); // <--- RIGHT HERE
            _fishySteamworks.StartConnection(false); 
        }

I'm unsure why it is asking for an IP address when I am inputting a steamID. I'd also like to note I have used this method before and it has worked completely fiine until now.
