Compatibility
---
While rare, sometimes Steamworks SDK updates will break compatilibity with older GodotSteam versions. Any compatability breaks are noted below. API files (dll, so, dylib) _should_ still work for older version.
Steamworks SDK Version | GodotSteam Version
---|---
1.59 or newer | 4.2 or newer
1.58a or older | 4.1 or older
Versions of GodotSteam that have compatibility breaks introduced.
GodotSteam Version | Broken Compatibility
---|---
4.3| Networking identity system removed, replaced with Steam IDs
4.4 | sendMessages returns an Array
4.5.1 | getItemDefinitionProperty return a dictionary
Known Issues
---
- Steam overlay will not work when running your game from the editor if you are using Forward+ as the renderer. It does work with Compatibility though. Your exported project will work perfectly fine in the Steam client, however.
- When self-compiling, **do not** use MinGW as it will cause crashes.
Quick How-To
---
For complete instructions on how to build the Godot 4.x version of GodotSteam Server from scratch, [please refer to our documentation's 'How-To Modules' section.](https://godotsteam.com/howto/server/) It will have the most up-to-date information.
Alternatively, you can just [download the pre-compiled versions in our Releases section](https://github.com/GodotSteam/GodotSteam-Server/releases) and skip compiling it yourself!
