ARK Game.ini getting overwritten with blank file

Questions

Hi I’ve setup an ARK server all ok using AMP, and I’m trying to edit the Game.ini file but every time I start the server amp seems to overwrite the file with a blank file.

I’m trying to add the following line to game.ini
bDisableStructurePlacementCollision=true

file location
/376030/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/Game.ini

is there any way i can stop this being over written or i should i be putting this setting somewhere else?

AMP Version: v2.3.4.4, built 26/07/2022 20:08

if you want to manually edit a file that amp uses:

  1. Stop the instance
  2. edit the file
  3. Start the instance

See if this fixes your issue

I found the problem, I had to have this line added as well, so it was ark wiping the file not AMP as it was invalid config.

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
bDisableStructurePlacementCollision=true
