All of my previous test have worked. I will test it right now.
Edit: Strange, it doesn't appear to be working on Ethernet to WiFi LANs on my network. (Could be related to how my network is set up) I'll check Ethernet to Ethernet. I'm looking into it. I've experienced some cases where certain types of network setups didn't show LAN games or took a long time for them to appear.
I'm looking into Advanced Sessions Plugin and the BP nodes. I'll hopefully have fix tomorrow. Very little has changed in 4.15-4.17 versions.
Edit 2: It works in editor. Looking into network related things.
Edit 3: Standalone works as well. Hmm, looking into possible packaged version configuration file problems.
Edit 4: Packaged LAN search and join works on the same PC when launching two instances. Going to try ethernet via switch LAN on two PCs.
Edit 5: It works on LAN network via wired on a local switch. It did not work on WiFi via WiFi Access Point to a wired client. I don't know why. It must have something to do with how Epic designed the sessions broadcasting over the network. My guess is that there's a broadcast packet that's being blocked by my access point.
Did you try LAN over wired networks? Or did you use WiFi?

The menu system for Unreal Engine 4.18 has been released.

@Thaddeus thanks
-
@Thaddeus Now there is a problem, your project test, steam, host, other clients do not search or link up, what's the matter? Ask for help
-
@Thaddeus Using LAN testing, filtering is invalid

@like3727
Hmm, I didn't experience that problem. What version did you test? What region of the world are you in? How are you testing it? Are you testing LAN on a wired network or wireless? Separate devices? Did you investigate routers for port forwarding issues with steam? I tested the project locally in the Midwest of the United States and also on a wired switch using laptops and a desktop. Discovering sessions on a LAN can take a while.I wonder if your Steam problem has something to do with the test App ID and what region you are located in? They are region locked to my understanding, meaning you have to test it in the same geographical location unless you have your own App ID. On LAN, were you working on WiFi? LAN uses Epic's default online subsystem and I've had problems with it on some networks depending on how they are configured.
The project uses Advanced Sessions Plugin. Maybe your answer is in there?
As far as filtering goes, it's fairly simple how it works but isn't really used by the example project. It looks at the extra variables passed by the online session and removes them accordingly. It might require a bit tweaking depending on how you want to set up your project. (For example, filtering by maps would require more maps than the test project has.)
Thanks for checking out the project. Hopefully you find something useful about it.

Hi there, I get this error everytime I try compiling with Visual Studio 2017. It does not let me do so with 2015, it says that the project is incompatible with that Visual Studio version. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

@Thaddeus The previous test was correct, and it was not correct to start the test after yesterday.
-
@Thaddeus 4.14 version, I was in Chongqing, China, wired network, different computer test, opened steam, set up a host computer, other computer connections failed to search for this host. It was all right before, it was yesterday, the test connection was not up, the search was not the host.

test App ID 480

Search LAN is ok, open steam, search the host is fail....
-
Do you have any contact?
-
I found that there is a problem, joinsession, join the success, but will not jump to the new map, the local area network can, steam is not.
-
@rexregum I have problems with VS2017 on all my projects. I'm not sure if it's a problem with a specific plugin or UE4 and VS2017. I spent days trying to figure it out to no avail. I'm not sure the answer on that, sorry.

Are you packaging / building your own copy of the game? Or is the Demo not working? Have you tried a newer version than 4.14?

You can contact me on here or on Discord. The top of the forums have a link to the Discord channel. I don't know how much assistance I can provide, though. You might just have to experiment with the project and see what the issue is. I test each build before they are released. The 4.18 build should work without issues. If you need 4.14 specifically, I can go back and check it to make sure it works. It's been a while since I worked with that version of the engine.
-
@Thaddeus Well, the previous 4.14 was normal.

Do you mean 4.13 didn't have any issues? CardinalMenu_Project_v161019.zip?
-
The 4.16 and newer version have a lot of improvements, by the way.
-
Also, you might want to check and make sure that the game instance is set to BP_GameInstance in Project Settings -> Maps and Modes -> GameInstance Class.
