question

[Edited] Referring to the settings in MpsSamples/UnityMirror at main PlayFab/MpsSamples (github.com), set StartGameCommand to C:\\Assets\\UnityServer.exe -nographics -batchmode -logFile to get the log file.

You can debug locally to see if there is any log output, refer to LocalMultiplayerAgentOverview - PlayFab | Microsoft Docs.

I've been trying to figure out server debug and logs for a week now.

NOTHING works :) I just keep getting empty zip.

Last what I did was added "-logFile <log_file_path>" to the executable and it merely makes server build to restart in loop.

To playfab team or anyone - can you just make it obvious simple for us and provide us with log directory to link or something?

Right now it's impossible to debug app/game :/
Thank you

@Made Wang Thank you for the reply. Just to be painfully clear. Is this a proper start command...

"YourGameHere.exe -logFile <log_file_path>" or do I substitute "<log_file_path>" for a valid path?

@KIQQI PRODUCTONS d.o.o. @rmontino we grab all logs from standard output as well, can you try -logfile -nographics -batchmode?

@Dimitris Gkanatsios @Made Wang I tried both to no avail. Local multiplayer agent output below...

1) Does the "<log_file_path>" trick only work when running in a container?

2) Does the server have to do anything other than call Application.Quit?

Are you building the Unity server executable as a dedicated server?

@Dimitris GkanatsiosYes, I tried the "Server build" checkbox in the Build Settings. I verified that Unity's log comes out to the console (stdout). Output of local multplayer agent below but still no logs in D:\Output sub-folders.

@rmontino we gather the output from stdout when the game server process stops executing, doesn't this happen in your case? I don't see any logs from your game server in the above paste

@Dimitris Gkanatsios So I made a hello world sample. Same result. No logs in "logFolder". Code and output attached. MultiplayerSettings.json inline...
