Failing to package when updating to Steamworks 1.37

Hey Everyone!

I’m trying to update my steamworks version to 1.37 (from the packaged 1.32)

I followed this guide:

I copied the SDK to the right place, the DLLs to the right place, and updated the references in all of the source files (except for Engine\Source\Programs\UnrealBuildTool\Configuration\UEBuildConfiguration.cs because it doesn’t exist)

And when I go to build, I get these log errors (NOTE - it builds fine when I reset the references to Steamv132)

Any idea what’s going on?

Hey Oraclefish,

4.13 changed how Steam SDK is setup (it is now a plugin) so my guess is that Allars guide is no longer valid.

As he says:

This guide was written using UE4 4.10. If using a later version, many steps here are subject to change and/or irrelevance.

Because there is no official steps to upgrade the Steam SDK version in the current engine, the safest method is to stick with 1.32.

Alright! Will do - I was having trouble getting it to write to the steam leaderboards and was wondering if it had to do with needing the latest steam sdk. If that’s not the case, I’ll keep messing with it!

Thanks for your reply!

Just curious - Is there a reason the Steam SDK wasn’t updated in Unreal when it switched over to Plugin format? Doesn’t make a lot of sense to update how online subsystem works but ship with a version of the SDK that’s well over a year old…

There isn’t any internal note on why UE4 still uses 1.32 but my guess is that it hasn’t been needed. Most of those types of updates come from necessity, not just because there is something new.
