Dear Friends at Epic (and Josh) 
What is the work flow for accessing Steam achievements?
I copied over the code from TesthAchievementsInterface
I know I have steam working because I see the in-game overlay.
I also know I am accessing the player ID correctly because my steam name shows up in the logs
#Context / Steam Serverside
Solus has an official AppID, and I have added achievements to the Solus App interface, server side, including stats, pictures, and descriptions
#Config File
I also read from the log I had to add achievements to the config file, so I did so
[OnlineSubsystemSteam]
bEnabled=true
SteamDevAppId = ###### ;Solus app ID (hidden for public display) !
GameServerQueryPort=27015
bRelaunchInSteam=false
GameVersion=1.0.0.0
bVACEnabled=1
bAllowP2PPacketRelay=true
P2PConnectionTimeout=90
;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Achievement_0_Id="A_SOLUS_PDA1"
Achievement_1_Id=""
;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Solus has its app ID set in the DefaultEngine config file properly.
#BP
I am running C++ code as well as the BP node to cache achievements and they are both not succeeding in reading achievements.
#Logs
Here is what my logs are saying when I am trying to read achievements:
LogOnline:Warning: STEAM: Failed to obtain steam user stats, user: Teotl_Rama [0x11000010AF40B49] has no stats entries
LogOnline:Warning: Async task 'FOnlineAsyncTaskSteamGetAchievements bWasSuccessful: 0 UserId: Teotl_Rama [0x11000010AF40B49]' completed in 0.338824 seconds with 0

SolusLog:Display: ASolusSteam::OnQueryAchievementsComplete
SolusLog:Display: TEST FAILED: Failed to Load Achievements
#User Has No Stats Entries
What does this log error mean?
The user name I am using has access to Solus App and can add stuff, do I need to do some extra step to ensure this steam user name has stats for the game / owns the game?
#steam_appid.txt
Do I need to change the steam_appid.txt somewheres to match the App ID for Solus? Is changing the App ID in the config file sufficient, as shown above?
EDIT : Nevermind, I have confirmed that once the game starts running, when I go to Engine/Binaries/Win64, steam_appid.txt is there, and it does show Solus’s steam app id!
#Thanks!
Thanks for any assistance in advance!
I am not sure what step I am missing here to get my first test achievement to be detected properly!
I’ve done
- Steam App server side
- config file locally matches server side name
- steam is working
Please do let me know any missings steps!

#C++ Code For Reference
I just copied it right over, but here is the relevant code for reference:
As you can see from my log above I am succeeding in getting the correct user ID passed into the system.
void ASolusSteam::GetAchievementsFromOnlineSubsystem()
{
// Add our delegate and read achievements
OnlineAchievements->QueryAchievements( *UserId.Get(), FOnQueryAchievementsCompleteDelegate::CreateUObject(this, &ASolusSteam::OnQueryAchievementsComplete ) );
}
void ASolusSteam::OnQueryAchievementsComplete(const FUniqueNetId& PlayerId, const bool bWasSuccessful)
{
UE_LOG(SolusLog, Display, TEXT("ASolusSteam::OnQueryAchievementsComplete"));
if (bWasSuccessful)
{
UE_LOG(SolusLog, Display, TEXT("Loaded Achievements"));
TArray<FOnlineAchievement> PlayerAchievements;
if (OnlineAchievements->GetCachedAchievements(*UserId.Get(), PlayerAchievements) != EOnlineCachedResult::Success || PlayerAchievements.Num() == 0)
{
UE_LOG(SolusLog, Warning, TEXT("TEST FAILED: Either GetCachedAchievements() failed or number of achievements is 0"));
return;
}
UE_LOG(SolusLog, Display, TEXT("Number of Achievements: %d"), PlayerAchievements.Num());
for(int32 Idx = 0; Idx < PlayerAchievements.Num(); ++Idx)
{
UE_LOG(SolusLog, Display, TEXT(" Achievement %d: %s"), Idx, *PlayerAchievements[ Idx ].ToDebugString());
}
QueryAchievementDescriptions( PlayerId );
}
else
{
// if our test failed, be sure to clean itself up
UE_LOG(SolusLog, Display, TEXT("TEST FAILED: Failed to Load Achievements"));
}
}
