How to set a new Steam account ID

[Coderman393]

Hello,

Firstly thank you for creating this as I have been looking to play LAN games on AOE 2 DE for ages!

I initially created the configs.user.ini file and left the Steam account ID field blank so it is was generated. I then simply copied the folder with all the emulator files to a second pc. I now have the problem in which each pc does not have a unique steam ID and it seems to be cached. I have tried setting an actual value as the account ID in the configs file but it doesn't work.

I identified this via my c:\Users*accountusername*\Games\AOE 2 folder that the number used for the one folder is exactly the same on both pc's.

What do I need to do so I can either generate or set a different Steam ID on each pc?

I found a steamemu.ini file in the AOE 2 DE game directory in which I set an account ID which was 0 and also changed the name from player to UserA.

When I launch the server and game on PC A it still has the old account ID showing up in the users folder data but the name in game is now UserA. However when joining with PC B on the server that PC A created the account name also shows as UserA.

I then still have the issue with as soon as PC B launches the game after connecting to the server PC A loses connection to multiplayer so the Account ID clashing issues continues.

Nevermind I got it all working now!

Thanks for the nice words =) and glad you found the proper configuration.

PS: You can set the GeneratePlatformUserId to true in the Server and it should work.
