question

Hi, Brendan.

I'm not receiving any error message, the upload process ends succesfully. The result status I get from the API call, however, says "Validating", which is the same message I get if I upload the build via the Game Manager.

All builds, once uploaded, go to the Validating state while the service checks that they're good builds (executable is there, no problems we can detect). Depending on the total size of the Zip, it may take a couple of minutes to finish this stage, but it should shortly. If you're not seeing that, are you using a different build from the one I downloaded from your title for testing? Can you send me a secure download link (use devrel@playfab.com)?

One thing that can't cause a problem validating the build, but which you will need to correct, is that from your post, you're setting MaxGamesPerHost (the number indicating how many instances of this game build can run on a game server host box in AWS) to 1 and MinFreeSlots (the number of slots available to spin up an instance of the game that must be available at all times) to 10. That means you can only run one session on the AWS server, and that you always want to have 10 of them available for new players. I suspect that you meant to have these the other way around.

Hello, getting same issue validating build when uploading from a powershell script using Visual Team Services.

Here is the ps1 script we use :

Write-Host $env:BUILD_BUILDNUMBER


Write-Host $env:PLAYFABSECRETKEY


Write-Host $env:PLAYFABGAMEID


#Build id
#$buildId = $env:BUILD_BUILDNUMBER
$buildId = "main_build"


#list server builds
$url = "https://$env:PLAYFABGAMEID.playfabapi.com/Admin/ListServerBuilds"


$result = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method Post -Headers @{
	"Content-Type" = "application/json"
	"X-SecretKey" = "$env:PLAYFABSECRETKEY"
}


#Remove first server build
$url = "https://$env:PLAYFABGAMEID.playfabapi.com/Admin/RemoveServerBuild"


$ServerBuildToRemove = $result.data.Builds[0].BuildId


$json = @"
{ "BuildId": "$ServerBuildToRemove" }
"@


Write-Host $json


$result = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method Post -Headers @{
	"Content-Type" = "application/json"
	"X-SecretKey" = "$env:PLAYFABSECRETKEY"
} -Body $json


Write-Host $result
Write-Host $result.data


#Get new upload url
$url = "https://$env:PLAYFABGAMEID.playfabapi.com/Admin/GetServerBuildUploadUrl"


$json = @"
{ "BuildId": "$buildId" }
"@


Write-Host $json


$result = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method Post -Headers @{
	"Content-Type" = "application/json"
	"X-SecretKey" = "$env:PLAYFABSECRETKEY"
} -Body $json


Write-Host $result
Write-Host $result.data


#Upload Build
$wc = new-object System.Net.WebClient
$build = "$env:BUILD_ARTIFACTSTAGINGDIRECTORY/$env:BUILD_BUILDNUMBER.zip"


Write-Host $build


$result = Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Uri $result.data.URL -Method Put -Headers @{
	"Content-Type" = "application/x-zip-compressed"
} -InFile $build


Write-Host $result
Write-Host $result.data


#Set Build Options
$url = "https://$env:PLAYFABGAMEID.playfabapi.com/Admin/AddServerBuild"
$json = @"

  "ActiveRegions": [
    "EUWest"
  ],
  "Comment": "",

$result = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method Post -Headers @{

The original problem for the thread was actually that they were having trouble uploading the build at all. If you're getting to the Validating stage, your file was uploaded successfully. The validation that then occurs is the same, no matter how you uploaded the file. If you're failing validation, then there's something wrong with the package that was uploaded. What Title ID is this for, and what is the name of the build file you uploaded?
