Thanks for this plug-in first.

I managed to build this plug-in into my test project.
When I open the local test server and blank test client with plug-in, it crashes.
I made GameInstance BP exactly same as InstanceBP shown in tutorial.
I found that the reason of crash is GameSession Activate function.
How can I fix this problem?

Hey there!

First of all, thank you @ryanjon2040 for this amazing plug-in.

One problem I was facing when building UE4GameLiftClientSDK plug-in for UE 4.18.3 and VS 2017 is the error C4577 which I think it might be common in this environment.

For those facing the same problem, one easy solution--not sure about its dirtiness--is to add bEnableExceptions = true; to one line below line 9, on GameLiftClientSDK.Build.cs file. After doing this, probably you'll build your game successfully.

aws-sdk-cpp version 1.7.240

aws-sdk-cpp/aws-cpp-sdk-core/CMakeLists.txt

if(CUSTOM_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT OR (BUILD_SHARED_LIBS AND NOT DEFINED CUSTOM_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT))
    set(USE_AWS_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT ON)
    message(STATUS "Custom memory management enabled; stl objects now using custom allocators")
else()
    set(USE_AWS_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT OFF)
    message(STATUS "Custom memory management disabled")
endif()

Can't build CUSTOM_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT ON.
AWSCore.cpp

Aws::InitSDK(options); // Error allocation memory

Can't compile when CUSTOM_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT OFF.

Hello! I love this plugin but I have a few questions.

A. Should I run these nodes as a server or as a client? (Via The Has Authority? Node.)
B. What should I input into the pins where it says, “Key” and “Value”?
https://imgur.com/a/7ObZUAj
C. I see that you have made custom events such as, “OnCreateGameSessionSuccess_Event” and “OnCreateGameSessionFailded_Event”. How did you guys get the string values of error message and Game Session ID on your custom event node?
D. And my last question is that if I would implement a party system where you can play with friends, is this possible with the nodes or would I have to use C++. I would rather use blueprints because I am more comfortable with them.

Help is appreciated! Thanks so much!

Hey man, will there be updates?

Hi everyone,

I followed these wonderful tutorials to get a game session running on AWS GameLift and got clients to connect to it successfully.
I did have to rollback the GameLift Client SDK commit to the one in the video (commit 14), as I encountered something similar to this issue
I am on Windows using Unreal 4.21.

However I have hit what appears to be a missing some dependencies within the Client SDK. I was trying to use Aws::Vector which is part of AWSCore but upon build I get the following linker errors:

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void * __cdecl Aws::Malloc(char const *,unsigned __int64)" (?Malloc@Aws@@YAPEAXPEBD_K@Z) referenced in function "private: bool __cdecl std::vector<class Aws::GameLift::Model::GameSessionQueueDestination,class Aws::Allocator<class Aws::GameLift::Model::GameSessionQueueDestination> >::_Buy(unsigned __int64)" (?_Buy@?$vector@VGameSessionQueueDestination@Model@GameLift@Aws@@V?$Allocator@VGameSessionQueueDestination@Model@GameLift@Aws@@@4@@std@@AEAA_N_K@Z)

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl Aws::Free(void *)" (?Free@Aws@@YAXPEAX@Z) referenced in function "public: __cdecl std::vector<class Aws::GameLift::Model::GameSessionQueueDestination,class Aws::Allocator<class Aws::GameLift::Model::GameSessionQueueDestination> >::~vector<class Aws::GameLift::Model::GameSessionQueueDestination,class Aws::Allocator<class Aws::GameLift::Model::GameSessionQueueDestination> >(void)" (??1?$vector@VGameSessionQueueDestination@Model@GameLift@Aws@@V?$Allocator@VGameSessionQueueDestination@Model@GameLift@Aws@@@4@@std@@QEAA@XZ)

These linker errors are usually encountered when the linker cannot find the correct function definition for a used function declaration. The Client SDKs that I cloned has the AWSCore header files and I also have the aws-cpp-sdk-core dll and lib files in Plugins\GameLiftClientSDK\ThirdParty\GameLiftClientSDK\Win64, like the tutorial instructed, so it should have the correct function definitions.

AWS::Vector is using AWS::Allocator, which is then using Malloc and Free.

AWSVector.h:
template< typename T > using Vector = std::vector< T, Aws::Allocator< T > >;
AWSAllocator.h:

typename Base::pointer allocate(size_type n, const void *hint = nullptr)
{
AWS_UNREFERENCED_PARAM(hint);
return reinterpret_cast<typename Base::pointer>(Malloc("AWSSTL", n * sizeof(T)));
}

AWSMemory.h:
AWS_CORE_API void* Malloc(const char* allocationTag, size_t allocationSize);

In the aws-cpp-sdk github repo I can see the AWSMemory.cpp file

I can see that it has a #include <aws/common/common.h> from the aws-c-common library, but I believe that was only added recently and since I am using an older commit of the client sdk I dont think I should have encountered this error. AWS says ." "Starting from version 1.7.0, we added several third party dependencies, including aws-c-common, aws-checksums and aws-c-event-stream

Either way, in attempt to solve this I added AWSMemory.cpp to AWSCore, then downloaded aws-c-common, built it, copied its lib and dll to ThirdParty and added all the headers to AWSCore/Public/common. Then edited AWSCore.Build.cs and AWSCoreModule.h/.cpp to add the lib and dll dependencies, but I end up hitting a wall of macro error like:

aws/common/assert.h(57): error C4668: '__clang_analyzer__' is not defined as a preprocessor macro, replacing with '0' for '#if/#elif'
aws/common/predicates.h(21): error C4668: 'AWS_DEEP_CHECKS' is not defined as a preprocessor macro, replacing with '0' for '#if/#elif'
AWSMemory.cpp(129): error C4668: '__GNUC__' is not defined as a preprocessor macro, replacing with '0' for '#if/#elif'

I have also tried to build aws-c-common from source as a new unreal module, but ended up with even more errors.

I just want to use a damn AWS::Vector.
Anyone know if I am missing something or is there a defect with the client sdk?

@chris-gong, did you ever encounter this?

Hello!

I've a problem. Everything looks good, nice plugin but I'm having some troubles with.

I get this error: Alias (alias-****) not found.

In my AWS account I've created my Access Keys for my account. Then in GameLift service I've created a Sample Build, with Sample Fleet and then added an Alias to this build but I get this error... There's something I'm doing wrong?

I managed to upload a linux build to the gamelift but on fleet creation in the ACTIVATING stage i get this error:

Server process started correctly but did not call InitSDK() within 5 minutes, launchPath(/local/game/Mul/Binaries/Linux/MulServer), arguments(null), instanceId(i-0758a58563c9fc6df)

I searched for the solution very hard but in the end I had to ask you guys here. Are you familliar with this error?
Most of the solutions that I have found online were inputting correct "launchPath", but as you can see from the error, it is a correct path.

Thanks in advance

What is the preferred way to find a game session on a fleet? I have a Fleet setup by Alias and there is a running game session on that Fleet. I'd like my clients to be able to search a fleet (by the alias) to find one ore more game session.

Is this currently possible? I'm not sure how else to find game sessions without my testers needing to enter it manually each time.
Thanks!

After installing YetiTech awsclient plugin those messages appears in launching the project, Play Level and in package the project.. :
1st message : "Failed to load aws-cpp-sdk-core. Plugin will not be functional"
2nd message: "Failed to load aws-cpp-sdk-gamelift."
3rd Message: "Failed to load aws-cpp-sdk-cognito-identity. plugin will not be functional."

I ignored them and continued with the rest of the tutorial. Eventually these cause Packaging to Fail, with following errors:

Am I making some mistake?
I also read the part where you mentioned that the dll have been recently modified and you will be working on the same. Just thought you might want to know this as well.

I'm not sure what is causing this, but after successfully establishing a new player session and connecting the client to the server, the Player Session Status in the Game Lift console shows it times out after 1 min. This happens even though the client is in the game and things seem to be working property. This happens 100% of the time and I never see an Active status.

After the Activate() gets called on the player session, is there another call I need to make to confirm the reservation, or is pushing the PlayerController to the returned IP and Port enough?

Tell me please, is there any support for Linux? I can not build my project with your GameLiftClient plugin from VS2017 for Linux :(

Hi
I'm getting access violation error when trying to open Unreal Editor with GameLiftClientSDK attached. It occurs at AWS Core module startup.

I have added all needed dependencies:
aws-c-common,
aws-c-eventstream,
aws-checksums,
aws-cpp-sdk-cognito-identity

I have successfully compiled the GameLiftClientSDK in Visual. Still can't open the Editor. Am I missing something here?

Here is the Editor crash location:

Hi guys, im testing my client and server with gamelift.
Followed your guide to integrate it in my client.

I've configured gamelift for local testing using gamelift local
(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/gamelift/latest/developerguide/integration-testing-local.html)
But when i call DescribeSession node from blueprint i get an error:

I think I am missing something here.

Can someone please help or I am in a completely wrong place to even ask this question.?

Thanks to YetiTech Studios for this awesome plugin.

However would it be possible to update the plugin for UE4.19?

Hi all,

There may be a problem with the paths for packaged game dlls, as my gameliftclient plugin crashes the exe when I run a packaged version (editor version and standalone are working). Any pointers as to where the error might be? The dlls are in the packaged game plugin folder, but I have yet to check the paths for them in the plugin.

Hi,

Thank you very much for this plugin !

I try to update your project with the last Gamelift C++ SDK. I have followed this steps:

mkdir out
cd out
cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_ONLY="gamelift"

When builded these files are generated:

out\bin\Release\aws-cpp-sdk-gamelift.dll
out\bin\Release\aws-cpp-sdk-core.dll
out\aws-cpp-sdk-gamelift\Release\aws-cpp-sdk-gamelift.lib
out\aws-cpp-sdk-core\Release\aws-cpp-sdk-core.lib

I have added this files to my UE4 project in the plugin folder. All seems ok but when I try to compile I have this errors:

Have I missed something ? It should be awesome if you can share the steps to compile the client.

Best regards,
Régis

Hi there,

I have the source version of UE4 (4.24.1) - and I have downloaded your plugin.

I am using the latest AWS Server SDK (3.3.0) and the client CPP SDK is v.1.7.251 - the latest as per their GitHub.

When I initially dragged the ClientSDK files into the Plugins/ folder of my project, I was getting UE4 warnings that the plugin would not work even though it had compiled and UE4 was launching - there is a similar issue for this already.

I then updated the AWS Core, Cognito Identity & GameLift libraries and DLLs, and edited the uPlugin file to use the latest version of AWS as instructed in your README.

However, when I try to launch UE4 and recompile - it fails and asks me to recompile from source. When I do this, I am met with many errors and the plugin will not build.

Do you know if there are any issues supporting UE4 4.24.1 or the latest version of AWS SDK?

If so, what resources did you use to create this plugin? I am quite happy to investigate either fixing your plugin or creating a new one from scratch (depending on the complexity) - however I have no idea how the SDK works and the AWS documentation online is lackluster at best.

Kind Regards,

Luke J

Hey guys,

Currently having issues running this. Anybody have issues running this on UE4 4.19 and VS2017?

I'm getting the following linker errors when trying to build on 4.21.2 with VS2017 15.9.7:

AWSCoreModule.cpp.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl Aws::InitAPI(struct Aws::SDKOptions const &)" (?InitAPI@Aws@@YAXAEBUSDKOptions@1@@Z)
AWSCoreModule.cpp.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl Aws::ShutdownAPI(struct Aws::SDKOptions const &)" (?ShutdownAPI@Aws@@YAXAEBUSDKOptions@1@@Z)

It was building successfully prior to upgrading to VS2017 15.9.7.

First off, thanks for the great plugin, has the barebones required to get anyone started right away with AWS GameLift.

I need to improve a bit on the functionality of the GameliftClientApi.cpp but every time I make any modification whatsoever to it (i.e. adding a random space in the file, save and compile) I will get a whole bunch of errors in

The only way to fix this, is to revert the .cpp file back to the previous revision.

These errors also pop up if I change the GameLiftClientSDK.Build.cs to have bFasterWithoutUnity = true;

Tried getting rid of the Intermediates, Binaries, re-generating project files, nothing seems to work. Modifying the .h files does not have any of these issues, only the .cpp ones. I've tested making modifications only to one or the other (just adding a space to them).

Any idea what could be causing this?

Hi there,

Came across this plugin, and seems like a great starting point for GameLift integration :)

One thing that might be good though is to add a License file (or mention the license in the README), since if no license is explicitly specified then someone isn't technically allowed to include your code in their project (since you have the copyright by default).

Were you treating this as something people can freely use, eg. MIT license?
Eg. https://github.com/davevill/UE4-GameLift/blob/master/LICENSE

Thanks!

So, I built the aws-cpp-sdk and replaced the DLLs and libs for the three dependencies, and changed the version number in the Build.cs. When I try to launch the game, none of the DLLs are able to load. The Plugin still shows up in the editor, but when I try to launch the game, those errors popup again and stop the game from connecting to AWS gamelift.

Any help is appreciated.

@chris-gong, any ideas?

are you guys planning on adding a search game sessions functions to the gamelift object? It'd be very useful if it's there!
