trying to force save via AMP console

Problem Description

Issue

AMP console wont send any commands to Valheim server.
I have looked at user permissions on host server and they look correct (could be wrong).
Not sure what’s wrong but server also crashes at random times, sometimes when no one is on and sometimes when people are playing.
so I wanted to set up a trigger that would save and restart server once a day at 5am, to help reduce RAM spikes and crashes. but the game wont save when it restarts and we are losing progress when it happens.
server saves very 30 min and when an admin send the command via in-game menu/console but i cant get it to save via AMP console when i stop server or manually send command via amp console.

Reproduction Steps

  • opened console and send save command
  • nothing happens so i checked event log and it shows the ‘Save’ command sent to console
  • booted game, connect to server and tired again, game didn’t save and nothing showed up in console.
  • saved via in-game console and that worked. think AMPs permissions might be wrong
