OS Name/Version: Windows 11 Pro 24H2

Product Name/Version: AMP 2.6.1.0 (build 20250401)

Problem Description: Unable to edit Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini directly through the AMP web UI for an Ark: Survival Ascended instance. The Configuration Editor only shows a limited subset of settings. I need to be able to edit the full raw contents of both ini files without SSH/RDP into the server.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Step 1: Open AMP, navigate to the ASA instance

  • Step 2: Go to Configuration > Game Settings in the left panel

  • Step 3: Notice only a small number of pre-mapped settings are exposed — raw ini keys like bUseCorpseLocator, custom harvest multipliers, etc. are not present in the UI

Actions taken to resolve so far:

  1. Checked the Configuration > Game Settings panel — only shows AMP-mapped fields, not the full ini

  2. Looked for a built-in file manager or text editor panel within the AMP instance — could not locate one

  3. Searched the AMP docs at https://docs.cubecoders.com for “Game.ini edit” — found references to the config editor but nothing about raw file editing through the UI

  4. Searched the CubeCoders Discord for “ASA Game.ini AMP edit” — saw mentions of using the File Manager plugin but unclear if it’s enabled on my install

  5. Verified the ini files exist on disk at:

/home/amp/.ampdata/instances/ArkSurvivalAscended01/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/Game.ini
  1. Confirmed I can edit them via SSH directly, but want to manage everything through AMP for access control reasons
2

The menu item called “File Manager” in the UI should give a hint

3

So you can just edit the raw file and it will update on reboot

4

Make sure the server is stopped before editing the inis

Note all of this is covered in the server guide on these forums
