An Unreal Engine Plugin used to manage an online subsystem
Developed in Unreal Engine 5.3. Works on any Unreal Engine 5 Version.

Tired of the Advanced Sessions Plugin?
This is the new one!
Much more modular and should work right out of the box.

EnhancedOnlineSessions Subsystem that helps communicating with the online service.
Supports STEAM, Epic Online Services (EOS) and EOS Plus.
Including platform specific settings which can be changed inside the Editor.

Well my goal was to make this plugin as modular as possible that it works with any other project.
The entire online service logic is stored into a custom UGameInstanceSubsystem.

In Project Settings > Plugins there is a section called Online Enhanced Subsystem.

Here you can select the Online Subsystem of your Choice and configure its parameters.
This will write the changes directly into the DefaultEngine.ini so you wont have to do that manually anymore :)

📝You will be prompted to restart the Editor after.

💡The Enhanced Sessions Subsystem follows a consistent structure.
All the necessary functions are stored inside the EnhancedOnlineSubsystem

These function will always take in a request object, which defines the action that you want to perform.
Every request will have multiple callbacks, that you can bind functions to (Based on the request type).
However, every request will have an OnFailedDelegate which will be called if the request fails and the log why the request may have failed will be passed through.

If you want to use a Level for an Online Session you would need to tell the Asset Manager about its existence.
To do that you would need to go inside your Project Settings -> Asset Manager

And then make sure to uncheck Is Editor Only and add the Directory where your Level is located.

To Host an Online Session you need to call the HostOnlineSession function which you can find in the EnhancedOnlineSubsystem.

This takes in a HostSessionRequest.
There are two different types of sessions you can host:

To host a Session you need to construct an OnlineHostSessionRequest.
Note that this will automatically travel to the map you selected in Map Id.

To host a Peer 2 Peer Lobby you need to construct an OnlineHostP2PLobbyRequest.
💡Note that this will NOT travel to a different map, as the P2P Lobby stays in the current level and you need to server travel manually.

Very similar to Host Online Session, this takes in a few parameters:
