Every time I attempt to create a lobby, the game, and steam crashes. Do you know why this could be??

I think the only case where you could crash Steam client is by supplying an invalid string. Check that you didn't pass a non-string value as a string argument somewhere?

Thx

Do you know where that could happen? BTW the exception called in the steam minidumps is a Access Violation

Any function involving sending strings to Steam API, potentially including the built-in ones. Adding show_debug_message calls to different places should help to narrow down he location.

Thank you so much!

So I went through all the functions, using find to look at all the functions, and show_debug_message() to find where the crash happens and it is definitely in the steam_lobby_create(). Is there any init functions I need

Are you using the correct version of Steam SDK? GMS needs 1.35a.

Thx, do you know where I can download the older version of steam? I have been using 1.41. Also I am confused with how I have to build it as it says in the Github respo? Which files do I need to run in VS? Thank you so much, you're a life saver!!!!

Have you tried following the official tutorial? It specifically says which version to use. Also, you don't need to build anything - you can use the pre-built extension in this download.
