| Feature | STEAM_CALLBACK / CCallback | CCallbackResult (registercallresult) | |---------|-------------------------------|----------------------------------------| | Lifetime | Persistent until object destruction | One-shot, auto-unregisters | | Use case | Global events (UserStatsReceived, GameOverlayActivated) | Specific request-response pairs | | Memory safety | Risk of handling old responses | No risk – exactly one response | | Multiple requests | All responses go to same handler | Each request gets its own handler instance | | Parameter checking | Manual check for m_eResult | Direct access to typed result structure | | Feature | STEAM_CALLBACK / CCallback | CCallbackResult
