Steps to reproduce:

  • Attempt to connect from Windows 11 PC on same LAN network, same switch
  • Receive error Game Server not found

Actions taken to resolve so far:

Verified AMP network configuration.

Verified Instance shows running and listening on game ports.

Verified the instance was running through ampinstmgr table and verified ports.

Checked UFW firewall and verified ports are open. Pinged Ubuntu server from Windows PC.

I did not check port forwarding as this is a local only install for now.

Connected to AMP management website from Windows PC.

Checked access to tcp port 2224 on Ubuntu server from Windows 11 PC using test-netconnection and the -port modifier.

Restarted Ubuntu server.

any luck on this? I’ve been facing the same thing and i’ve tried on a few amp instances i’ve tried when moving things around. no go each time (running on ubuntu and debian).

Nope. Support for the program seems kind of like a joke. I bought a premium license so I could have good support and it hasn’t happened.
