Compatibility

While rare, sometimes Steamworks SDK updates will break compatilibity with older GodotSteam versions. Any compatability breaks are noted below. API files (dll, so, dylib) should still work for older version.

Steamworks SDK Version	GodotSteam Version
1.59 or newer	4.2 or newer
1.58a or older	4.1 or older

Versions of GodotSteam that have compatibility breaks introduced.

GodotSteam Version	Broken Compatibility
4.3	Networking identity system removed, replaced with Steam IDs
4.4	sendMessages returns an Array

Known Issues

• Steam overlay will not work when running your game from the editor if you are using Forward+ as the renderer. It does work with Compatibility though. Your exported project will work perfectly fine in the Steam client, however.
• When self-compiling, do not use MinGW as it will cause crashes.
