Steam says “invalid app id” for all instances
Can you elaborate on where exactly you’re seeing “invalid app id” ? Screenshots would be helpful.
Sure thing; it’s when I “connect to application” from the instance in the browser. So I click this:
Then this a message pops up in the Steam application after a brief attempt to connect (I can onlly post one media item). It says the following, verbatim:
Failure
Unable to connect to server. app id specified by server is invalid.
This occurs for both instances (Zomboid and Conan)
Thank you so much for the rapid reply. I appreciate your efforts to maintain this tool.
Try connecting normally in-game using the IP/port rather than the connect button in AMP.
Yep, I did that (direct connect in both Zomboid and Conan.) Both times I got a connection timeout. What’s odd is that it does give a proper error when I use an invalid password so I know the connection is marginally working. I can try another game, but I’m pretty certain I’ll get the same error.
I understand how Steam works and all that; when launching a Steam game through the AMP web interface, does it pass the game ID to the Steam client via the ‘steam://’ protocol? If so, where is that value stored? I didn’t see it in any config files, but even though I’m a 25 year veteran engineer, I am new to AMP.
BTW, I am 100% certain this is an oversight on my part somehow due to my lack of experience with the tool. Thanks again for your time.
