Cannot stay connected to a server

I am using Mirror and Telepathy for server connection and am having trouble keeping a player connected. The server should be hosted by playfab and does not have any player act as a host. when i use the LMA to test connection the server reaches active just fine and the player connects to it based on the info for local debugging, after around a minute the player will disconnect every time even though the server is still running on Powershell. when i made a build on playfab i was able to get the same result before but now i am unable to even connect on the server build, the closest i have gotten is to get a server active when it uses UDP 8080 but the client cannot connect to it at all.

We recommend that you use LMA locally to ensure that your server build is working properly before deploying it to PlayFab MPS.

What is the NumHeartBeatsForTerminateResponse of your LMA setting? If you are using default value, you can increase it to a large number to see if the issue persists. If the player still disconnects from the server, you may need to add some debug code on both client and server project to see what the cause could be. You can also use MpsSamples/UnityMirror at main · PlayFab/MpsSamples · GitHub to do some tests.

heart beats is at sometime like 600. the most recent LMA test i ran and all prior seem to have an issue shown in the logs that I'll show below.

2023-06-20T16:02:34.1386273Z CreateDirectory '' failed: The system cannot find the path specified. 2023-06-20T16:02:34.1390537Z

it happens early and immediately after gameport was found in GSDK Config Settings. I'll check my settings in LMA to see if i can solve that issue.
