Syntax

class FSteamSocketsSubsystem :
    public ISocketSubsystem,
    public FTSTickerObjectBase,
    public FSelfRegisteringExec

Remarks

Steam Sockets specific socket subsystem implementation. This class can only be used with the SteamSocketsNetDriver and the SteamSocketsNetConnection classes. This subsystem does not support mixing any other NetDriver/NetConnection format. Doing so will cause this protocol to not function.

bool	bShouldTestPeek	Flag for testing peek messaging (only usable in non-shipping builds)
bool	bUseRelays	Determines if the connections are going to be using the relay network
int32	LastSocketError	Last error set by the socket subsystem or one of its sockets
TArray< FSteamP...	PendingListenerArray	Array of listeners we need to activate.
