can start a Server no problem and join and play on it but it do not save any progress
Steps to reproduce:
Step 1 Launch the server
Step 2 do some stuff ingame
Step 3 restart the server
Step 4 verify that stuff made is gone
Step 5 verify that no updated files in instance folder is blank
example instance Aska01: ASKA01\aska\3246670\server
there is no files there
Verify if AskaServer.bat works
Step 10 Launch bat file
Step 11 See that it creates files in Server save file location

Well, I’ve experienced the same thing. Everything lost, twice. I have no solution to share.
I’m using Docker and Wine on Ubuntu server.
What i have noted is that the Symb link to save location from instance is broken and if replaced it will be broken again after some time.
so my current work around is use batch file but do not have auto reboot and backup.
What do you mean by “broken”?
Also, what is your autosave interval set in AMP to?
With a brand new instance on Windows, with the Autosave Interval set to 5 minutes and the Keep World Alive set to on, the save is created immediately when the server starts (and then is autosaved every 5 mins):
Symlink working as designed
interesting i did try to go to the folder trought windows explorer and it did not work but as you did i get to a folder if i use the in app browser
have to diagnose more but i did note that it changed the save game ID some times maybe is that.
but will see if i can get my external save to the correct location now and load it
cant show the next image of explorer folder:
Wonder where it saves the save for amp
Settings Save ID: 364d8_040225213929
PS i has not created the correct save file currently and can not se dates of folders
AMP runs instances as the Network Service user which is why:
you shouldn’t use Windows Explorer
you couldn’t access the junction link via a different user
the saves are actually stored in the Network Service user’s AppData (which is in Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService)
Use AMP’s file manager or SFTP for transferring files on windows or you will be in permissions hell
Got it working now thanks for all the help
Did:
Open with sftp
upload the known working save (or use an existing id)
Verify that correct save game id is set in configuration in amp
Start the server
Sees that game files updated
Loads and plays 30min
Restart server and verify game progress is still there
there was probobly some problem with it thinking save id was empty and then creating new saves each time.
Naturally you have to put the save id in the UI, otherwise that will be blank in the file and the server will create a new save each time. The file can be imported (right-click) to import the ID of the last created save into the UI (refresh the page)
I did set an id after the first run but it still did not save and sometimes it changed the id of the configuration page🤔
