What could cause token to return null in SteamWeb.Authenticate?

[waylaidwanderer]

I'm having a strange problem here. Basically when SteamBot launches, something is causing the token in bool authd = SteamWeb.Authenticate (callback, SteamClient, out sessionId, out token); in Bot.cs to return as null every time, and so it keeps looping "Authentication failed, retrying in 2s..." until I press Ctrl+C.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why token would return as null? In SteamWeb.cs' Authenticate function, here's the section of code that would cause it to return null, but I don't know why.

   try
   {
        authResult = userAuth.AuthenticateUser (
            steamid: client.SteamID.ConvertToUInt64 (),
            sessionkey: HttpUtility.UrlEncode (cryptedSessionKey),
            encrypted_loginkey: HttpUtility.UrlEncode (cryptedLoginKey),
            method: "POST"
            );
   }
   catch (Exception)
   {
       token = null;
       return false;
   }

Check out the exception that's being thrown.

Just says something like exception thrown at Boolean SteamWeb.Authenticate (callback, SteamClient, out sessionId, out token);.

Not much use :(

Upon further digging, it gives me this: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object when it tries to get the value of client.SteamID.ConvertToUInt64 (). Do you know why?

[waylaidwanderer]

This is all set upon SteamBot logging in (for example the client thing), and I think the problem is that the LoggedOnCallback is not returning OK for some reason.

[waylaidwanderer]

Actually, SteamUser.LoggedOnCallback is not being sent at all. It's being skipped (I'm comparing it to a working bot).

[waylaidwanderer]

After more testing, it seems that SteamUser.LoggedOnCallback triggers when I enter the wrong password or SteamGuard code needs to be entered. However, if the password is correct and SteamGuard is not needed, then SteamUser.LoggedOnCallback doesn't trigger.

one of the error I get there is 'SteamKit2.WebAPI.Interface' does not contain a definition for 'AuthenticateUser'

and here:

   public override DynamicMetaObject BindGetMember(GetMemberBinder binder)
    {
      return IsOverridden("TryGetMember")
           ? CallMethodWithResult("TryGetMember", binder, NoArgs, e => binder.FallbackGetMember(this, e))
           : base.BindGetMember(binder);
    }

I get this error:

'Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject' does not contain a definition for 'success'

Can you show the whole stack trace?

Is this still an issue?

[waylaidwanderer]

Nah. Please close it for me since I'm on my phone. Thanks.
