Package Shipping problem, no Steam

Hi, I have scoured all other topics on this but no solution so far

I have created a blank project and installed advanced steam sessions which happily connects to steam using the test 480 id when in standalone and development packaging. The popup below appears and I am able to open the overlay that shows the test Spacewar and that the achievements are working

The project simply grabs the player name from the player state class and displays it on screen

But… when I package as “Shipping” there is no STEAM popup (as above) and Shift-Tab does not bring up the steam overlay. If I launch through steam (launch non steam game) still no popup. It is as if steam has been disabled, the steam name is not retrieved and the DESKTOP-(identifier) is displayed instead.

  • I am running 4.19.2 with 1.39 steam SDK (the same as in the engine folder).
  • All plugins are enabled, Advanced Sessions / Advanced steam sessions / online subsystem steam.
  • I have steam_appid.txt with 480 no white characters inside next to my 64bit binary.
  • The steam dll is in its \Binaries\ThirdParty\Steamworks\Steamv139\Win64\steam_api64.dll.
  • I have verified the engine which has not been modified.
  • There is no C++ in the projects.
  • The defaultengine.ini has all the needed code and the 480 id as per the other 100 threads.

I am at a loss to why this isnt working

Any help would be great

Thanks.

I have the same problem did you ever manage to fix it?
