Reboot your system, likely legacy processes from the previous failed starts
You’re trying to bind this server to a public IP?
Is this being run in a datacenter or the like, so that it is not behind NAT?
it is in a data center do i need to open extra ports and stuff - does AMP need ports to be open as well
Could be that AMP is not properly handling the UDP logger IP/binding when the server is bound to a public, rather than local, IP. Might be a bug
how would i fix this so i can run gmod and team fortress 2 servers because minecraft and palworld works
Do you have access to AMP’s closed source code and know C#? Didn’t think so lol. Just report a bug on GitHub
what do i say for the bug report
The error they’re getting implies that their IP has changed and the IP they originally configured no longer exists.
@LittleCottonCandyPup Did you change the bindings away from their defaults?
no it’s the same ip but now it’s doing diffrent issues still won’t start tf2 or gmod servers
Here is my github conversation not sure what exactly to do to get it to work i reinstallled the software and tried on linux same issues
i see this error as well but not sure if it could be causing it
