C1001 error

[kata-gatame]

Hey there,
I’m getting the following error when I try to build the SteamWorksExample project.

Severity	Code	Description	Project	File	Line	Suppression State
Error	C1001	Internal compiler error.	SteamworksExample	D:\development\Unreal Projects\SteamWorks\sdk\public\steam\steam_api_common.h	156

which leads to line 156:

I’ve seen another topic here related to this issue, but it is now locked.

Here are other relevant logs:

I get this error too and I have no idea how to fix it

I got the same problem. I solved it by changing the compiler in Visual Studio because it seems like there is a bug or conflict with the recent MSVC version.

Try installing the older version (MSVC v141, v140) or other compiler like what I did with Clang ( C++ Clang tools for Windows).

You could install them by opening Visual Studio Installer, under Desktop development with C++.

Then open the project property window in the example project, change the Platform toolset.

Hope that helps.

Hi. There’s a very easy way of solving issues with SteamWorks.

You’ll need this link and also follow the steps in the image attached.

Microsoft.DXSDK.D3DX 9.29.952.8

Unfortunately neither of these solutions works for me. The second one makes no difference. The first one just generates a lot of different errors. Has anyone managed to fix this “properly”?
I managed to get it working “improperly” by commenting out line 156 “friend class CCallbackMgr;” in the file steam_api_common.h

I was able to build it fine before finding the solution but I’m used to working with DirectX and C++ on a daily basis anyway.

The second solution I stumbled upon when looking to modernise applications that used DirectX June 2010 SDK which is pretty much discontinued. This solution has enabled a few students to build successfully when they were commenting out line 156 as you have done. The above image was taken from the solution I posted elsewhere for this.

Try a fresh unzip of the software and the second solution and you have to ensure you have C++ for Studio configured correctly as well.

Share the errors you’re getting too and I’ll try and help you get it building.

It’s useful to see Steamworks working but you can skip this if really stuck.

FYI, I used this second method with v1.5.1
