GodotSteam SteamMultiplayerPeer Differences
| Differences | This SteamMultiplayerPeer | GodotSteam SteamMultiplayerPeer |
|---|---|---|
| Lib Type | GDExtension, add on your project libs to use easy. | C++ module, you need to use the precompiled ones from godotsteam or compile it yourself |
| Steam Connection | Steam Sockets Steam Docs Steam's lowest connection level, manages a connection (It's very close to Enet, that's why I chose this approach for the plugin) |
Steam Messages Steam Docs Without a connection idea, the connection is managed by the lobby, Need Steam lobbies. |

Known issues
⚠️ Features No channel support currently At some point I intend to integrate channels to be used in rpcs commands, but currently it is only necessary to use channel 0 or the default rpcs.
