Problem Description

Issue

As explained above, after authenticating my server and assigning my in game username as a server op, my Hytale instance wont start. a wndow popped up stating “AMP was unable to start the application. Possible causes may include insufficient permissions to load the executable, or the file not being correctly flagged as being an executable file. Check AMPs logs for more information.” And my AMP logs said “Authentication token f3318de4aa24 for JGordon requested by ManageInstance on behalf of JGordon” What do I do?

Reproduction Steps

I authenitcated server on startup
updated and authenticated again
added myself as a server op in the instance command line
restarted instance and received this error: Authentication token f3318de4aa24 for JGordon requested by ManageInstance on behalf of JGordon
server wont start
