I followed the tutorial [here][1]. And got till the last step.

However, when I open the ‘[MyGame]Server.exe -log’, I get the following error:

200462-4777-failed-to-load-aws-cpp-sdk-server-library.png

“Failed to load aws-cpp-sdk-gamelift-server library. Plug-in will not be functional.”

My logs look like this:

Is this expected? Any ideas how to solve this?
The .lib and .dll files are under: Plugins\GameLiftServerSDK\ThirdParty\GameLiftServerSDK\Win64’

Have you fixed this problem?

Currently, I have same issue and don’t know how to fix it…

3

I have put the GameLift C++ logic into
void YourCustomC++GameMode::StartPlay()
{
HERE
}

instead of

void YourCustomC++GameMode::BeginPlay()
{
HERE
}

Seems to work!

4

I am having this same problem but putting the logic in start play or begin play doesn’t seem to solve anything. Are there any other solutions to this?

5

Was anyone able to fix this problem?

If you linked AWS SDK to OpenSSL (It should be the case), you need to copy the libcrypto-3-x64.dll and libssl-3-x64.dll (on Windows) to your game binary folder “WindowsServer\YOURGAME\Binaries\Win64”.

Please take a look at the README.md provided with the SDK. If you are getting the following error, this might fix it.
In short, you will have to copy the .dll files from the OpenSSL installation you used to compile the GameLift SDK.
