Unity Multiplayer Mirror + Steamworks ( FacePunch ) - Is Free?

Hi Everyone, I'm working with a small multiplayer game around 8 - 12 players in a lobby like (The Friday 13th). I tried to search for more information about Steamworks and Mirror, they make me feel stress so much . So anyone works with Steamwork or Mirror can help me answer some questions, Please!
- Steamworks with P2P, Matchmaking is Free?
- Mirror with Steamworks can work as P2P no need to create a Dedicated Server?
- if my game is reached a limit CCU, I need to charge some fee for Steamworks?
- About Facepunch networking Socket, Anyone work with this can let me know how to use it with P2P?
Thank you so much!

 

Mirror and Steamworks are both free. There is also no CCU limit.

Mirror with Steamworks works quite good, but the standard steamworks transport for mirror uses the old steamworks P2P api and is slower than the new steam sockets.

Using SteamSockets with Facepunch Steamworks is quite easy, just follow the instruction from the official documentation https://wiki.facepunch.com/steamworks/Creating_A_Socket_Server

 

Thank you so much! But in my understanding, if I want to use SteamSocket, I must create a Dedicated server for this?

 

No, you are thinking about the Steam Server, steam sockets don't have to be a dedicated server.

 

Thank you so much!

 

Hello. Do you know if you need to add your game to the steam launcher in order for the connection to work ?

 

If you are testing with Steamwork P2P you need launch it from Steam Launcher. If you use Unet, you do not need to do it.
