Make sure Steam is **Enabled** in the Project Settings > SteamCore Plugin, using AppID 480 is fine for testing, but you will have to use your own AppID for testing modules like User Stats, Achivements and other things.

You are required to run the game in “**Standalone Game**” mode when testing Steam Functionality.
