ServerProcess - Amazon GameLift Servers

ServerProcess

A set of instructions for launching server processes on fleet computes. Server processes run either an executable in a custom game build or a Amazon GameLift Servers Realtime script. Server process configurations are part of a fleet's runtime configuration.

In the following list, the required parameters are described first.

ConcurrentExecutions

The number of server processes using this configuration that run concurrently on each instance or compute.

Type: Integer

Valid Range: Minimum value of 1.

Required: Yes

LaunchPath

The location of a game build executable or Realtime script. Game builds and Realtime scripts are installed on instances at the root:

  • Windows (custom game builds only): C:\game. Example: "C:\game\MyGame\server.exe"

  • Linux: /local/game. Examples: "/local/game/MyGame/server.exe" or "/local/game/MyRealtimeScript.js"

Amazon GameLift Servers doesn't support the use of setup scripts that launch the game executable. For custom game builds, this parameter must indicate the executable that calls the server SDK operations initSDK() and ProcessReady().
