The report describes a Steam client bug: after a Fake IP is allocated, BeginAsyncRequestFakeIP keeps failing on relaunch until Steam restarts, with the cause logged in console_log.txt. The reproduction is a C# probe in an external gist that calls SteamAPI_Init, InitRelayNetworkAccess, and GetFakeIP/BeginAsyncRequestFakeIP, and nothing in this repository's source is named as the fix location. Done would mean the repro is confirmed and the report is routed to the Steamworks team, since the code involved is in the closed-source Steam client.

Descripción

Apologies I know this repo isn't technically related to the Steam client's SDR/FakeIP networking, but I see a couple of older tickets mentioning it so this seems like the best place to post about it where someone involved with it might see it.

So after my game successfully allocates a Fake IP via GetFakeIP/BeginAsyncRequestFakeIP and then exits normally, any more re-launches of that same App ID get a k_EResultFail from BeginAsyncRequestFakeIP for as long as the Steam client is running. Steam's console_log.txt shows this error message:

src/clientdll/clientnetworkingapi.cpp (2809) : YldRequestFakeIP called again.  Not allowed!

Restarting the Steam client fixes it for one launch, so does launching another game in between.

I've reproduced this on both Windows x64 and macOS arm64, Steam client version 1793235415

Steps to reproduce it:

  1. Restart Steam
  2. Run a minimal program that calls SteamAPI_Init, InitRelayNetworkAccess, InitAuthentication, requests a fake ip via GetFakeIP/BeginAsyncRequestFakeIP and wait for the result. The first time will give you a k_EResultOK with a valid Fake IP address and port. Then exit the program if its still running.
  3. Re-run the program, but this time you'll get k_EResultFail and the line in the console_log.txt from above.
  4. From now on it will keep failing with k_EResultFail

To clear it you'll need to either restart Steam or launch any other game that goes through the SteamAPI_Init.

Here's a .NET 10 C# project using Steamworks.NET that I've reproduced the error with: https://gist.github.com/philo23/f3ebcbe8aaf14df6f49a0822f8843534

It'll write a probe.log file into bin/Debug/net10.0/ along side the dll
