Connection TimeOut/ Packet loss when connecting to AWS Gamelift server.

Question

I am uable to connect to the server on my UE5 client. I receive the Ip address from GameLift and I try to travel my client to the IP address using OpenLevel. Buiy I am getting some logs mentioning connection timeout/packet loss. Any idea why? I am putting my logs here after I use OpenLEvel.

Answer

Hi,

Once you've created a game session on a game server with CreateGameSession, you will first have to reserve a player session(s) on that game session with CreatePlayerSession or CreatePlayerSessions with unique PlayerId(s). These APIs will return a PlayerSession object, from which the game client can accept and use the IpAddress and PlayerId to connect to that game session.
