AnswerHub, useless as always

It looks like your game failed to load the Steam Utilities, with comes from the steam_api. My first guess is that it is because you either don’t have the Steam plugin enabled or that you haven’t included the Steam SDK.

How to include the sdk:

https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Programming/Online/Steam/

How to enable steam plugin:

If you have done both of these, I would double check to make sure your multi-player setup is correct when creating game lobbies. Do you best to debug through your project and find out where the program is crashing and see if you can figure out why.

Furthermore, if you can’t find anything wrong with your project but still have the crash, create a bug report in the “Bug Reports” section of the AnswerHub, with as much detail as you possibly can on how to recreate the issue, and one of the support staff will check to see what the issue is and try to provide feedback as to why it is happening.

Also, as a tip, you may want to give it more than an hour when posting for help before deciding AnswerHub is useless.
