As far as i know, entityindex 0 is the server, normal players start
at 1. GetUserID is the unique userid. When a new player connects,
this userid will be incremented.

The line "if (!playerInfo) ..." is just my short hand for saying "I'm
doing error checking here, so don't worry playerInfo is non-null past
here". I should have made that more clear.
The problem was that I was using the wrong entityindex (0) as Ronny
pointed out.
I must admin I don't quite see how it works:
My entityindex is 1
playerInfo->GetUserID() return 2
What is in entityindex 0? as engine->PEntityOfEntIndex(0) returns
non-null but dies in pain when you try and do stuff with it.

You need to do
if ( playerinfo ){
Msg("SteamId: %s\n", playerInfo->GetNetworkIDString());

Not if !playerinfo

I cant see any errors, maybe a wrong playerIndex?
Must be greater than 0.
