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

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.
  • Using MinGW causes crashes. I strongly recommend you do not use MinGW to compile at this time.

"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. It will have the most up-to-date information.

Alternatively, you can just download the pre-compiled versions in our Releases section and skip compiling it yourself!
