aws / amazon-gamelift-plugin-unreal Goto Github PK

I encountered error running the built server executable with the new v1.1.0 release. Specifically, there's error importing the "GameLiftServerSDK" module into the gamlift plugin.
This can be fixed by going to amazon-gamelift-plugin-unreal/GameLiftPlugin/Source/GameLiftServer/Source/GameLiftServerSDK/Private/GameLiftServerSDK.cpp and change line 30 and 31 from

FString BaseDir = IPluginManager::Get().FindPlugin("GameLiftServerSDK")->GetBaseDir();
const FString SDKDir = FPaths::Combine(*BaseDir, TEXT("ThirdParty"), TEXT("GameLiftServerSDK"));

to

FString BaseDir = IPluginManager::Get().FindPlugin("GameLiftPlugin")->GetBaseDir();
const FString SDKDir = FPaths::Combine(*BaseDir, TEXT("Source"), TEXT("GameLiftServer"), TEXT("ThirdParty"), TEXT("GameLiftServerSDK"));

and also deleting the amazon-gamelift-plugin-unreal/GameLiftPlugin/Source/GameLiftServer/GameLiftServerSDK.uplugin file.
I expect others will encounter the same problem if you cloned the standalone code from github and directly copied the C++ Server SDK Plugin for Unreal source code into the amazon-gamelift-plugin-unreal/GameLiftPlugin/Source/GameLiftServer directory. Applying the above changes should fix the module import issue.

I'm missing the sources for the Module CoreSDK which produce aws-gamelift-authentication., aws-gamelift-core. and aws-gamelift-profiles.* Can you please include them in the Repo, Thank you very much!!!

Tried integrating the plugin into UE5.3 under MacOS 14, M1 Max. Engine was built from source, fresh C++ project. The solution build is successful and the plugin is recognized by the engine but no button or menu shows up to actually use the plugin to integrate the SDKs into the project. See screenshot attached.

There is no field to enter an MFA token in the plugin's Manage AWS user Profiles configuration screen, and it appears that IAM users with MFA enabled cannot access the plugin.
For security reasons, we feel that using access keys without MFA is risky and would like to see MFA support in a future update.
Are there any plans to do so?

With the preview build out, I've tried using the plugin with 5.4. 5.4 is a lot more strict in its compilation, which appears to be causing issues when building the plugin.

Sorry for lack of logs/data, I can't provide them at the moment.

Is it possible to add support for IAM Identity Center SSO auth to the plugin? The GameLift plugin is awesome as it has turned what used to be a bunch of batch and powershell scripts into simple button clicks in editor. However the one major pain is the frequently expiring auth access keys.

Several times a day we have to manually edit the .credentials file just to package a build or test with Anywhere fleets. The AWS CLI allows us to set up SSO profiles that enable auto-refreshing tokens so we don't have to manually update the files. This would be a huge benefit to the plugin as well.

Using the GameLiftClient SDK functions is very much straight forward. But the GameSession cannot be set with Name or GameProperties unless we use the aws-cpp-sdk, which adds a whole level of complexity on memory management, specially in UE.
I'd like to request those to be included. I've tried to manually change the CPP code, but I think the binaries ignore those changes anyway.

latest commit is missing the contents of "\amazon-gamelift-plugin-unreal\GameLiftPlugin\Source\GameLiftServer" and has a REPLACEME.md file instead

Currently UE4.27 is still the best for the following:

• Mobile Development
• Online Web Apps
• Performant Games for low-end devices
  When will we see this available for UE4.27?

I'm wondering if there is a repo for Unreal Versions pre-5? I'm using 4.25 and am having trouble locating a Gamelift plugin for that version.
