Unreal Multiplayer issue Joining Session

Hi, I've posted this on the Unreal forums as well so if I get an answer there I will post it here. I've been developing a VR demo in Unreal 4.22 for the Quest for about a month with great success. It is a multiplayer shooter and I've been hosting on the Quest or Vive and have tested with 4 players, everything's great, until... Randomly about a week and a half ago, for some reason the Join Session node is not allowing the client to connect to the listen server anymore. When the client calls Join Session after finding the server, the Join Session node fire off and complete off the success pin as if everything is fine! except nothing happens...  I also setup a test in 4.23( of course following the instructions on this site) and am experiencing the same issue or issue where I connect to the listen server but it isn't the same instance of the server as the players cannot see each other inside the level. Has something changed recently regarding networking on the Quest? Is anyone else having multiplayer issue in Unreal recently? I feel like something changed and I just don't know about it.

Hello everyone.

 

Has anyone happen to make this work? I've been trying to make this work for about 2 weeks and I'm still in the same spot: I can create a session, a client CAN find that session but CANNOT join it properly. If I build using the installed version of UE 4.27, the client joins the session, but it just stays there waiting, no travelling to the listen server map. If I build using the UE 4.27 source, the clint finds the session, but when trying to join, it crashes...

 

I also tried modifying the OculusNetDriver.cpp and IPAddressOculus.h, but there is no difference.


It's making me crazy jajaja

 

Thank

    Didn't work.

     

    I included this line in the AndroidEngine.ini in Config\Android

     

    [OnlineSubsystem]
    DefaultPlatformService=Oculus


    and it stopped crashing, but it won't travel to the server's map.

    Were you ever able to get this working? I've also been trying for weeks now and am starting to think it's not possible in 4.26
