[Help] Trouble with Facepunch Steamworks

[light vale]

Hey all, my project uses Photon + Facepunch Steamworks, I’m currently using Game ID 480, for Spacewar. Just to test things out.

Main issue here is that when i open the .exe file after building i cant use the steam overlay, it’s deactivated.

In the other hand, if i do the Build and Run option, Ctrl+B or open it on the Steam Client it does allow it.

And another issue im getting is that no matter how hard I try to open a Steam Lobby I can’t seem to be able to invite people to the lobby.

If someone has some insights they will be appreciated

1. for things with lobby related things with steam, i would use another app id, since the spacewar id has some issues with steam lobbies and such.

2. try using codes/lobby ids to invite each other to see if it's really problem with steam's lobby system

lastly Photon and Facepunch?

You can use the demo app to test lobbies but you'll need be more precise with how you query them. I don't use Photon so I can't speak to that part

Ok so I fixed it.

I did it so that when you make a photon room, it creates the steam lobby, with the name of the photon room on it's properties, then when you join the steam lobby, photon grabs the info from the lobby and tires to join
