As a general rule, if you’re experiencing problems with AMP - uninstalling and reinstalling are unlikely to solve your immediate problem. Please make a new support post so someone can help you out :slight_smile:

Be aware that uninstalling AMP will delete your existing AMP game servers and all their data - make sure to make copies of any data you want to keep.
