Upon running the .exe and using "Attach Game", I am met with the attached error. I suspect this may be due to my Steam not being installed in the default location and SteamP2PInfo can't find the .log, but I don't see a way to point to its correct location.

1. I would like to be able to select sounds other than Windows sound effects.
   My Windows theme is "No Windows Sound", and in this case, even if I turn on the setting, there is no sound.

2. If a sound alert occurs when a new [PEER CONNECT] occurs since the session started. I would like to be able to use a sound to warnnig of the appearance of new intruders or hunters.

After attaching the game and focusing back to Elden Ring, the application crashes with the following log:

Win32Exception: Invalid window handle
   at MS.Win32.UnsafeNativeMethods.GetMessageW(MSG& msg, HandleRef hWnd, Int32 uMsgFilterMin, Int32 uMsgFilterMax)
   at System.Windows.Threading.Dispatcher.GetMessage(MSG& msg, IntPtr hwnd, Int32 minMessage, Int32 maxMessage)

   at System.Windows.Application.RunDispatcher(Object ignore)
   at System.Windows.Application.RunInternal(Window window)
   at SteamP2PInfo.App.Main()

Seems a bit random too, a couple days ago the program was working fine and then it started crashing all of a sudden.

the IPC error and no logging seems to stem from steam not being installed in the C drive which can be fixed by the creator making a path setting instead of what seems to be a built in auto path that I haven't been able to find to change. The only current way to get this fixed is to re-install steam on C drive, which is to much work so i wont be using this until that is (hopefully) implemented. I did trying creating a false path to the IPC log however steam will only write to the one in the actual steam folder, so the log won't show anything at all.

It's not possible to use SteamP2P with HDR enabled because the display becomes super bright and washed out, disabling HDR fixes problem.

The Session Info console remains blank even though the logs are being compiled in the appropriate file.

I cannot find the "steamp2info.exe"

player info does not appear whatsoever in the overlay or in the steam p2p window itself. this is not an occasional thing, i have never once seen anything besides "Steam p2p info by tremwil" on the overlay and have never seen any info displayed in the main program window, it is always 100% blank. how can i fix this? i see other people using it, and they get player info/ping, but it will not display for me at all.

this has been a persistent problem for me in all releases of steamp2p info. i have been trying to get this program to work since you released it and have been hoping whatever is causing this issue would have been ironed out in future releases, but that does not appear to be the case. any ideas on what i can do to get this program to work as well for me as it seems to for other players?

I'm getting a bunch of errors in steam console with the new version. I'm assuming it's errors, it's in red. Not sure if its actually causing issues, I haven't noticed anything. Says "Stop spewing for IClientUser::EndAuthSession, too many calls." I've attached steam log and a picture as the steam log doesn't seem to show everything i see in the console.

ipc_SteamClient.log

Hey I would like to know if there is anyway that this tool could have a “Disconnect” button type thing.
I know it sounds kinda sketchy but I keep getting this AFK farmer and it would be much easier to press a quick button instead of going around the menus to disconnect from the session.

I used the DS3 tool which was super handful with the invasion keybind, but I know in ER it’s not possible due to this shit anticheat (shit because of the problem that comes with it)

I record my invasions with this tool on and its been a great way for me to document what players I've run into and block the cheaters and AFK farmers, but i've had to use a not clean method to display ping info on my recordings.

Was wondering how the display method is done and if there is a way to have an option to ingrain the display info so capture devices can grab it?

Since there is no way to view recent players on PC without a workaround such as this, how do I add somebody I play with in game? I'm playing Elden Ring and SteamP2P works, I just don't know how to use the info to actually send a request to the right account.

I have close to 30 hours on this new version. This version the overlay is never blank when joining any session (arena duels, invasions, Taunters Tounge) Thank you tremwil! I haven't tried arena 2v2 or 3v3, I don't think people still do that on PC. Arena duels work perfectly every time. Invasions are a different story. You only get the Hosts info when invading. Not once have i invaded and had every player in the session showing on the overlay at the beginning of the invasion. If a blue, another invader or phantom joins then all players will populate. Sometimes they'll randomly populate but not often. It normally takes someone else joining to trigger the overlay to show everyone that's in the session. If you check the steam overlay all the players are there, just not showing on p2p info overlay. With the old p2p info it was about 60-40 maybe 70-30 you'd get the info when invading. 60% you get all players in the world showing, 40% you get nothing until someone else joins the session (blue, phantom, invader) If no one else joins, it normally stays blank.

There is some strange stuff happening after winning an invasion. If you win the invasion and killed the host first, most of the time the once unknown phantom will then show up in the overlay and the host will disappear. He'll then stay in the overlay for about 2 minutes once back in your own world. This happens 90% of the time. If you kill the phantom first then defeat the host, the host's name will stay for about 2 minutes once the session is over. This doesn't disrupt anything it's just strange. If you lose the invasion the overlay will clear normally. If there is just a single host with no phantom or blue, their name will clear normally after the session is over. You only get this strange prolonged connection showing if you win and there was more than 1 other person in the session. If you need me to test anything let me know.

is there a way to make this work on linux?

EDIT: Resolved by enabling G-sync.

I have 144 hz monitor and I'm playing in 2560x1440p Borderless Screen mode. The game is super smooth by default. But when I run Steam P2PInfo my screen begin to lag a bit. It's noticeable when I run left and right next to some vertical objects (like pillars for example). It looks like refresh rate is suddenly dropped and screen updates slowly. I decided to test it even further and force disabled Vsync for EldenRing.exe in Nvidia Control Panel. Without Steam P2PInfo everything looks super smooth even without vsync (as game uses Windows vsync I assume). But as soon as I launch P2Pinfo overlay it instantly cause screen bad screen tearings. So it looks like having overlay on top of the game cause all this problems. It might not be exactly P2PInfo issue. But I have MSI Afterburner overlay and it runs just fine with no lags or tearing's.

I tried limiting fps to 59, tried both vsync on, off but nothing helped. No matter what fps limits of settings I have the game runs fine and smooth by default. P2Pinfo overlays cause issues.

Is there any solution?

Windows 10 21H2 with latest updates.
RTX 3080 Ti with latest drivers.

I think this is addressed in the Known issues, but I'm not sure if we talk about the same thing:

Peers not getting detected in rare circumstances (versions < 1.2.0)

This is due to the very naive Steam IPC log file parsing. The program can "miss" a Steam lobby, preventing the detection of P2P peers in this lobby. I plan to improve the log file parsing to make this rarer or completely eliminate it in the future.

I'm using the latest release, published two weeks ago.

So this game for instance works with Steam, and it's Steam.exe itself the process that actually makes the connections (I've verified this myself using Windows Resource monitor), not the game process. How do we capture the data if Steam.exe doesn't have any apiID? The game process only connects to the developers server. Matchmaking and lobby creation is done through Steam.exe

I want to log the connections made by Steam.exe and link them to the Steam ID or community ID. Is that even possible?

I've been using this for Dissidia Final Fantasy NT, and it was working fine up until recently. Now, it doesn't detect anyone at all, even with 1.2.0. I tried an older version too, which also didn't work.

The console continuously sends "src\common\steamid.cpp (663) : steamIDClan.GetEAccountType() == k_EAccountTypeClan" in red, which I assume is an error. I believe that it also tries to call for "IClientFriends::SendClanChatMessage" for a while, but it gets nothing and then stops due to too many calls (idk any of this stuff so I might be interpreting it wrong). That's all that it does while it's on.

I've followed all the instructions given to run this, and yet the program very rarely detects people. I've summoned about 20 different people now and it's only worked twice.

Using it for elden ring, invading.

I followed the instuctions and also made sure that the path to the log files are correct, but the app keep saying that there's an unhandled exception: unauthorized access exception.

FYI: I saw the "Peers not getting detected in rare circumstances" under known issues, but in my experience peers don't get detected 90% or more of the time.

Probably due to Steam not flushing the log file quickly all the time. Will require more tests to make sure this is the case and not a parsing bug.

idk how to fix this issue :(

i set up the program, did the attach game thing, put the command into steam console, but i keep getting an error message that says the steam ipc log file does not exist. i went to my steam folder to logs, and i do not have any kind of file that says anything about ipc. what file do i need to put in and what do i do if it is not there? the program seems to be working otherwise, i just get constant error messages and windows ding noises.

Just like the title discribes. Every time I open the application it says there is one instance running already and I don't know why.

how to solve it?
@tremwil

add ping filter feature just like DS3 Connection Info.

Since the last patch of ER, I need to restart the program like every 10 mins becouse I only got on the overlay "-1" as a ping for everyone. Or sometimes the overlay is empty. The overlay doesnt show anything. Thx for your work!

I've heard from multiple sources that Elden Ring on Steam has a functional recent players list. In my attempt to figure this feature out, I've found this excellent little program. It works great for me, just a couple questions though. In the readme, it says you can use the program to log recent players to the recent players list; I cant find this functionality. How do I do this? Also, is it possible for the names of the recent players to be logged to the log file? In other words, after I disconnect from a player, is there a way for me to go back and see who I had connected with? Sorry if this isn't really an "issue," I just would like some clarification and potentially help future users of this program. Thanks for the hard work.

Half of the player are missed from by the app - tested over multiple back to back arena session. The very first session almost never misses, which lead me to believe It might have to do with back to back queuing

For some reason it doesn't pick up any of the ipc info it could be cause the log gets flooded with tekken specific vars

Hello there ! Downloaded and did everything as told in the description. But after I attached the game, the program crashes overlay closes. I tried not to press anything in the crash window to test the overlay but no use because the overlay is on but shows nothing =(
Screenshot of the crash message attached. Hope you can help :( ty

I don't think this is working at all in the colosseum now. 1st 10 fights no connections shown. I've yet to see 1.10 work. I'll keep trying. Old version seemed more reliable. I would have maybe 6 out of 10 to show previously. edit: switched to old version got 9 out of 10 matches shown. Went back to 1.10 for 5 more tries still nothing.

Occasionally ghosts when closing and crashes.

Game - Elden Ring.
Works normally only with V1.0.6.

phantom seems to dc after 2 mins in my world while using

What am I meant to do to solve this issue? It's to my understanding at least that the file exists. Is the location not the directory and some random file? I don't need this but I'd much rather have it then not have it.

So I've installed this app and selected a path to steam logs (changed it because I have installed steam elsewhere), however it is giving me access denied exception as I input command into console. I run it as admin and turned windows defender off to no avail. How do I grant access to that folder?

I have downloaded this about 5 days ago.
Did not work on the first day i tried it. Ran it as administrator, Linked it to elden ring, Put the command in the steam console, Configured the overlay like how i wanted it. Once i got to some pvp action its just stays blank. Like there is nothing showing up. No connections what so ever, log stays empty. that was for the whole evening, got in to more then 30 pvp encounters since doing both invasions and coliseum.

The second day i decided to try it again. Opened Elden ring, went in-game, opened the program as admin and did all the same steps, Except put the command in steam console twice. When i did that it showed me some stats about call backs or something like that, So i thought now i has to be working. And it did. for the whole day.

Third and forth day it did not work again. Same process as before.

Yesterday it did work after opening it like 3 times.

Today again i cant seem to get any info about the p2p connections i have.

Also cant find any answers on this in the issues page. I am not sure what is going on, i get the red message in the console about the clan thing but read that was expected behavior. Any idea what might be going wrong, or is there any additional information that is required to trouble shoot?

Edit: I was running the steam beta version and now i am back on the normal version. Did the whole startup process and worked first time. Dont know if its just a coincidence or that the beta makes it not work. Dont have enough data on that yet.

Edit 2: So it was not the problem, next boot same problem, reboot everything, still not working. then i decided to put the command in at the beginning of my session. Meaning when i just started my pc up. So i opened up the steam console by pressing Windows+R and typing "steam://open/console" and i put the command on this page in once. It says it is now running it, I open up elden ring, Wait for the game to load en after selecting my character i open steam p2pinfo as a admin. Link it to elden ring, and so far it has working 7 times in a row for me. I know this because i restarded my pc serval times to see if it is fixed, so for it is.

It would be great if there was a way to write the ping to a log file! My use case is I’m performance testing various setups with ER, and want to know which setup has lower ping on average.

It would be easy to aggregate the info from a file. As is I’d have to manually record the info from the overlay.

Any interest in adding this feature? I don’t speak much C# but if you’d accept the PR I’d attempt it.

Thanks!

Hi and thanks for this app, it's great. After the last steam update p2p info no longer activates the console. It can be manually opened using steam://open/console so we still have access to it. Any suggestions on a fix or work-around? It's not a big issue and I can still do it manually, I'm just lazy and want u to do more work :) Thanks again!

This functionality exists in Dark Souls III's Blue Sentinel/PvP Watchdog mods, and it is very helpful for knowing which players need to be blocked. I wonder if this could be added to this program, or if it running separately from the game's .exe means that there is no way for this program to know which character belongs to which Steam profile.
