Ok so tons of ppl have had this issue. Unable to find steamID…blah blah blah. Basically they cant login to my server because it can not pull their steamID. I found out that i needed a steam api key so i got it and placed it in server.cfg however ppl still can not log into my server. Is there something i can do or am i just screwed. (ps the only way to allow anyone into my server is to remove/stop essentialmode from loading. this file is required for esx as is my understanding. please let me know what i am doing wrong

Does your console display an message while people login like “Steam authentication for … failed”?

sort of not quite that but something like client attempted login…login failed to find steamID…somthing. if needed i could get the exact error in console but the error in console continues to say something on the lines of “…steam api key not set please set api key…”

Please show the whole error and where your set your steam api key (blur the key please)

ok no problem i even had a client send me the error they see when trying to login

Capture 1 server
this is my server.cfg file where the api key is
i noticed the # i am removing it and having client retest at this moment
Capture 2 error
this is the error sent by one of my clinets


and this is what displays in my console

You forgot to uncomment the line, remove the #
