Depending on your DefaultEngine.ini setup the method for connecting to the Dedicated Server is different. Below are two examples for connecting to a dedicated server (both using Execute console command).

Using Find SteamCore PRO Sessions​

  • Use in conjunction with the SteamCoreSockets NetDriver
  • If you're using the Find SteamCore PRO Sessions to find multiplayer sessions you can use the Join Session node to join a dedicated multiplayer session.
  • The example below should not be used in a live product, it's simply a demonstration that will join the first server found. Ideally you want to build a server list, see the bluerpint example project for a working example.
