UE4 Steam Ticket
Hello. I have been trying to detect where I can get the Steam Ticket from Unreal Engine 4 but I cant seem to be able to locate it. I have set up PlayFab plugin on our project and on the developer site of PlayFab with our Greenlit game's AppId and Api. I am trying to utilise the LoginWithSteam.

You can get the ticket via SteamUser()->GetAuthSessionTicket(). It's down in the section on authentication with backend servers in their auth docs: https://partner.steamgames.com/documentation/auth.
Specifically in Unreal, I don't see anywhere they expose this in their online subsystem integration. From reviewing their docs, it would appear that to access this API call, you will need to link the library in directly, so that you can access the SteamUser functionality. https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Linking_Static_Libraries_Using_The_Build_System

Not Helpful! I had already gone through that process to no avail. I guessed that in order to ask for that in your plugin you surely knew a way to get it, otherwise why ask for that particular parameter? Seems I was mistaken. I can not find a way to mark your answer as not an answer but I guess that is censored through you.
Unfortunately, we can't control what methods Epic exposes in their Unreal Steam implementation. As I said, your best bet would be to link the Steam SDK library directly, in order to make the call to GetAuthSesionTicket in your own code.
I know this is an old ticket but found it while I was searching for the same information. I was able to find this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CgeAxiS19s It tells you how to get the session ticket from steam by adding a little bit of c++ magic to your game. Hope this helps.

Very helpful image thanks, does game title ID in this context refer to your playfab game ID, or your steam App ID?
