hello, are you running the game through steam?

unreal lion
#

yes

south vortex
#

for some reason Steam is not hooking properly with the game, can you send a video how you launch the game through Steam?

unreal lion
#

I just press play, game loads normally but I got that error/message

#

maybe is it because I am on the beta branch?

south vortex
#

no, shouldn't be the case

#

if you are on beta then you can share the .log file that got generated at game's root dir

hi, i have the same issue

south vortex
#

looks like steam is down 🙂

swift ermine
#

my steam works fine

south vortex
#

I can't upload an update, timeouts connection against steam

swift ermine
#

well i played the game 2 days ago and everything was fine

#

until last update

south vortex
#

There have been an increased amount of page views on this site in the past hour, this could indicate an issue with Steam.

swift ermine
#

you need to upload some extra files or just exe?

south vortex
#

just .exe to get detailed steam error

swift ermine
#

you could send me .exe via discord

south vortex
#

just updated beta again, if it fails you should see detailed error now

#

whatever it means

south vortex
#

hmm, no idea to be honest

#

ok, as per my research and given we've updated the Steam SDK this seems to mean that your steam client isn't compatible to latest SDK, beyond making sure you are on latest Steam Client I wouldn't know what else to do or suggest

#

if this becomes general we can try downgrading the SDK but ideally we always want to rely on latest

unreal lion
#

is it possible to play "offline" without initializing steam api? or maybe is it possible to run on the old sdk

south vortex
#

so as per my research Valve dropped Steam Client support on Nov 9 2024 stating that in future versions it wouldn't be guaranteed its functionality, we will rollback the version so you can play, but keep in mind you are still on an unsupported OS

south vortex
#

we've just updated beta with old Steam SDK, please let us know if it does detect Steam now

swift ermine
#

yeah, it works now, thank you 🙂

south vortex
#

it may work laggy as I'm trying to debug something else on other reports, will release the final (non-buggy) version soon, stay tuned
