GodotSteam Server for GDExtension

GodotSteam is an ecosystem of tools for Godot Engine and Valve's Steam - available on the Android, Linux, Mac, and Windows platforms. This server GDExtension plug-in assists in creating dedicated or master servers powered by Steam.

Documentation

Documentation is available here. You can also check out the Search Help section inside Godot Engine. To start, try checking out our tutorial on initializing Steam. There are additional tutorials, with more in the works. You can also check out additional Godot and Steam related videos, text, additional tools, plug-ins, etc. here.

Feel free to chat with us about GodotSteam or ask for assistance on the Stoat server, Steam group, or IRC on Libera Chat.

Usage

Once the plug-in is added to your project, the SteamServer class should be available and ready to go. Enabling the plug-in in the Project Settings only affects the GDExtension's updating capabilities, it does not affect the core functionality.

Do not use the GDExtension version of GodotSteam Server with any of the module versions whether it be our precompiled versions or ones you compile. They are not compatible with each other.

When exporting with the GDExtension version, please use the normal Godot Engine templates instead of our GodotSteam Server templates or you will have a lot of issues.

Known Issues

Steam Overlay may not work when running your game from Godot but the exported project should work perfectly fine in the Steam client. Read more.

If using the Steam version of Godot on Windows, you may need to manually update Godot's steam_api64.dll or steam_api.dll with GodotSteam's version as it is sometimes outdated and may cause the plug-in to fail to load. Read more.
