Steam

This functionality is currently only available to Enterprise customers.

This functionality is currently only available on Windows.

Our platform can be integrated with Steam, allowing players to join your worlds and events directly from the Steam client.

To do this, you'll need the following:

• To be partnered with Steam, and have access to your organisation's Steamworks' backend.

• Have configured a Featured Event in your organisation's dashboard

• Assistance from the Named Engineer assigned to your project.

Setting up a Featured Event

1. Firstly, set up an event and link it to a world by following our guide here.

2. Go to the Admin panel, and set your featured event as shown:

Steamworks configuration

1. If you haven't yet, create a Depot in Steamworks which has been configured for Windows / 64-bit only.
2. In the Installation tab, go to Launch Options and set them as follows:

   1. Executable: bin/M2LauncherSteam.exe

   2. Arguments: -OrganizationId=<your_org_id> (remove the < > when setting this value)

      1. IMPORTANT: ensure you've set up a featured event as shown above. If you want to bypass this flow and point directly to a world, please speak to your named engineer for further support.

   
3. In the Security tab, go to SDK auth and generate an Encrypted App Ticket Key.

4. Reach out to your Named Engineer and tell them you're working on the Steam integration.

   1. Ask them for the latest M2 Launcher (Steam version).

   2. Give them the Encrypted App Ticket Key you've generated in the previous step, and the Steam Application ID (this is the set of numbers in brackets next to your app's name).

5. Once you have been given the M2 Launcher (Steam version), upload it to the Steam depot you've created in step 1.

6. Your Name Engineer will coordinate with you to create an authentication page for your organization.
