Steps to reproduce:

  • Create Instance
  • Update
  • Start Instance

Actions taken to resolve so far:

1 - Search this forum and found someone with a similar problem. The fix that worked for them was to turn off sleep and update. I updated both the instance software (Space engineers) and made sure sleep was turned off. Did not work.
2 - Created a new instance, updated the software and ran. I still received the same error.
3 - Deleted AMP and reinstalled. Created a new instance of Space Engineers.
4. - Made sure drives were formatted NFTS.
5. - Opened Task Manager to make sure there was not a phantom AMP running.
6. - Made sure all Space Engineers dependencies were installed
7. - Created an instance of Risk of Rain 2. No error.

I’ve used AMP on another machine running 5 instances of MineCraft for years to great success. This is a new machine with a fresh Win 10 install.

so what was the fix ? ive got the same issue server just will not start with the same error.
