Reproduction Steps

  • Attempted to reboot amp and VM the server is running on.
  • Verified all settings and compared them to a working instance of same game on the server I am upgrading from.
  • Deleted and reinstalled instance from scratch. Updated new instance without issue and re-verified all network settings.

You’re missing the C++ runtimes required by the game server. Try running:

ampinstmgr installcppruntimes

In an admin command prompt.

That was it! Thank you @Mike
