Problem Description

Issue

AMP version: 2.8.0.4
Project Zomboid: Build 42
players command returns connected users.
Dashboard remains at 0/24.
All Network show Listening.
Players are actively playing.

I have tried this while directly connected with the local IP and with users connected over through a tunnel. Both cases still show 0 active users but when I run the “players” command it will show who is connected.

Reproduction Steps

  • start server
  • join server on local ip or through a tunnel
  • Check dashboard for active users
  • use console command “players” to show who is on

I have the same issue and ran into it in Build 42.19.0 unstable as well. I posted about it in GitHub and in the Project Zomboid forums, both were unresolved. Hoping to see solutions to this.
