TYSM :D

Hey guys, we made a small mistake at 1:15:37 with the subtitle that lasts until 1:15:42. That subtitle should have been placed at 1:14:52 lasting until 1:14:57 instead. Sorry for the confusion!

Just wanted to mention, you can check how many hours you have left in the free tier for GameLift by checking the "Bills" section in the Billing Management Console, console.aws.amazon.com/billing/home. You should be able to check your free tier hour usage in the free tier chart here, console.aws.amazon.com/billing/home?#/freetier, but currently GameLift c5.large instance usage is not being tracked. I am not sure why but I made a forum post about this here, forums.awsgametech.com/t/gamelift-isnt-showing-up-on-the-top-aws-free-tier-services-table/9349. Note that the "Bills" section and the free tier chart are both delayed by a day or two, meaning that the usage statistics listed on there do not accurately reflect the most up-to-date free tier usage statistics in real-time. In case you aren't constantly monitoring your free tier usage, go to the "Billing Preferences" section in the Billing Management Console and make sure the "Receive Free Tier Usage Alerts" option is enabled so that you get email alerts for when your AWS service usage is approaching, or has exceeded, the AWS Free Tier usage limits.

Note that the page where you get the Linux toolchain from has moved to docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/SharingAndReleasing/Linux/AdvancedLinuxDeveloper/LinuxCrossCompileLegacy/index.html

Hey, thank you for making this, and I’d be really excited to learn if you saw any performance differences with Linux? I’ve been looking for an answer to this very question for months, but haven’t found one.

Hey, I haven't found much of a performance difference issue between Windows and Linux EC2 instances. However, I have not done much performance nor load testing to give you a reliable answer to that question. The main benefit that I know about Linux fleets on GameLift is the cost savings.

Flopperam Yes, thank you! I can swear by Linux EC2 instances, I just wasn’t sure if UE4 servers had any potential issues. If comparable, this certainly saves lots of money!

@@dxconnery Daniel, I have heard that Linux servers, once set up correctly, should have better performance than on windows.

Hey man! Thanks for awesome tutorial. Need your help with one issue dedicated to AWS GameLift When I'm running dedicated server using RDP on AWS, after I connect the client, I'm having "/local/game/LinuxServer/ARKH/ARKH.: Failed to load package '/local/game/LinuxServer/ARKH/ARKH.'. Please check the log for errors." And it ends with shutting down. If you encountered such issue before, please share the treasure knowledge! And may the Force be with you!!!

Hey, I would suggest checking your server logs if possible to see what's causing the issue upon clients connecting.

There would be a lobby system, so you can connect with friends and start the game with the predefined team?

Hey, unfortunately we didn't have time to cover those concepts in this tutorial series but we will in future tutorials.

1stly thanks for us a nice tutorials, 2ndly is it possible to set up text chat, voice chat, friends list, invite them, in-game purchase store etc? if yes how ? please help.

Thank you! For text and voice chat I would suggest Vivox for Unreal Engine. For implementing friends list and in-game purchases features, this can be tougher. You can either make them yourselves using a combination of AWS services like Cognito, Lambda, DynamoDB, and API Gateway for example, or use a prebuilt service designed for this such as Playfab or GameSparks for example. I know Steam and EOS have features for friends as well.

After connecting, in PreLogin, ExpectedPlayerId.Equals(PlayerId) is true and PlayerStatus = RESERVED, but AcceptPlayerSessionOutcome.IsSuccess() is always returning false and being kicked. Any idea why?

@Flopperam

Hey, that's very odd, but you can try logging the error from the call to AcceptPlayerSession, if there is one, by adding some lines of code in the body of the if statement that checks if the call to AcceptPlayerSession was unsuccessful: if (!AcceptPlayerSessionOutcome.IsSuccess()) { // the next three lines are new auto AcceptPlayerSessionError = AcceptPlayerSessionOutcome.GetError(); UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("accept player sessions error name: %s"), *(AcceptPlayerSessionError.GetErrorName())); UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("accept player sessions error message: %s"), *(AcceptPlayerSessionError.GetErrorMessage())); ErrorMessage = "Unauthorized"; } After adding these changes, recompile the server, repackage it, upload the new server build to GameLift, make a fleet out of the new build, test the game, and check the server logs to see what the error is when calling AcceptPlayerSession.
