What do I have to do after a match is over?

Question

Hello, I do not quite understand what I have to do after finishing a match. Do I have to call ProcessEnding and then bring my complete server to the start state or is the instance completely closed?

Currently I terminate the connection to the clients, terminate the PlayerSessions and then call ProcessEnding.

But I get an error message on my fleet that looks like this:

SERVER_PROCESS_PROCESS_EXIT_TIMEOUT
Server process failed to cleanly exit within 30 seconds of calling ProcessEnding()

Answer

Hi @REDACTEDUSER

The recommended practice is to:
1. Call ProcessEnding
2. Verify the returned status is successful: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/gamelift/latest/developerguide/integration-server-sdk-csharp-ref-actions.html#integration-server-sdk-csharp-ref-processending
3. Terminate the process with a successful exit code, e.g. `System.exit(0)`
4. GameLift process manager on the instance will spin up another process for you
