Compatibility
---
While rare, sometimes Steamworks SDK updates will break compatilibity with older GodotSteam versions. Any compatability breaks are noted below. Newer API files (dll, so, dylib) _should_ still work for older versions.
Steamworks SDK Version | GodotSteam Version
---|---
1.59 or newer | 4.6 or newer
1.58a or older | 4.5.4 or older
Versions of GodotSteam that have compatibility breaks introduced.
GodotSteam Version | Broken Compatibility
---|---
4.8 | Networking identity system removed, replaced with Steam IDs
4.9 | sendMessages returns an Array
4.11 | MP chat state constants changed
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.
