Compatibility
While rare, sometimes Steamworks SDK updates will break compatilibity with older GodotSteam versions. Any compatability breaks are noted below. Newer API files (dll, so, dylib) should still work for older versions.
| Steamworks SDK Version | GodotSteam Version |
|---|---|
| 1.63 or newer | 4.17 |
| 1.62 | 4.14 or 4.16.2 |
| 1.61 | 4.12 to 4.13 |
| 1.60 | 4.6 to 4.11 |
| 1.59 | 4.6 to 4.8 |
| 1.58a or older | 4.5.4 or older |
Versions of GodotSteam that have compatibility breaks introduced.
| GodotSteam Version | Broken Compatibility |
|---|---|
| 4.8 | Networking identity system removed, replaced with Steam IDs |
| 4.9 | sendMessages returns an Array |
| 4.11 | setLeaderboardDetailsMax removed |
| 4.13 | getItemDefinitionProperty return a dictionary, html_needs_paint key 'bgra' changed to 'rbga' |
| 4.14 | Removed first argument for stat request in steamInit and steamInitEx, steamInit returns intended bool value |

Known Issues
- GDExtension for 4.1 is not compatible with 4.0.3 or lower. Please check the versions you are using.
- Overlay will not work in the editor but will work in export projects when uploaded to Steam. This seems to a limitation with Vulkan currently.
Quick How-To
For complete instructions on how to build the GDExtension version of GodotSteam, please refer to our documentation's 'How-To GDExtension' section. It will have the most up-to-date information.
Alternatively, you can just download the pre-compiled versions in our Releases section or from the Godot Asset Library and skip compiling it yourself!
Usage
Do not use the GDExtension version of GodotSteam with any of the module versions whether it be our pre-compiled 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 templates or you will have a lot of issues.
