Follow these steps to create you own dedicated V Rising server.
 
 

Hosting a Server (Rental Service Providers)

You can alternatively host a server at a Game Server Hosting Provider.

Your server will be started instantly!
 
 
 

Server Requirements

• Windows 10 or Server 2016+ & 64-Bit
• Quad Core processor (requires up to 2 full cores)
• Up to 16GB memory (currently uses around 4GB memory minimum)
• 5GB disk space (install folder)
• A copy of the V Rising early access game from Steam

 
 
 

The Guide

1. Create a folder C:\VRisingServer
2. Download SteamCMD for Windows: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd.zip – [akamaihd.net] 
3. Extract the contents of the zip to the folder
4. Create a file called FetchServerFiles.bat and place the following code in there:
    
    
    
    
    

   @echo off
   start "" steamcmd.exe +login USER PASS +force_install_dir "C:\VRisingServer" +app_update 1829350 validate +quit
   

5. Fetch server files from Steam by running the FetchServerFiles.bat

 
 
 

Starting the Server

To start the server, create a batch file called StartServer.bat with the following
 
 
start “” VRisingServer.exe -log
 
 
Run StartServer.bat and let it load (takes 10 minutes the first time)
 
 
Your local save files are located within this area on your computer:
 
 

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Stunlock Studios\VRisingServer\Saves

 
 
However, just like with the settings, this can be overridden with the -persistentDataPath parameter.
 
 
 

Configuring your server

Now comes the fun part, setting up your V Rising game server to your liking.
 
 
To modify game server settings you can create two files
 
 
ServerHostSettings.json
 
ServerGameSettings.json
 
 
You can create these files in your VRisingServer\Settings folder
 
 
You can modify settings in here (in addition to the launch line) – these settings overwrite your launch line settings:
 
 
ServerHostSettings.json
 
 

{
 "Name" : "My V Rising Server",
 "Description" : "This is a role playing server",
 "Port" : 27015,
 "QueryPort" : 27016,
 "MaxConnectedUsers" : 10,
 "MaxConnectedAdmins" : 4,
 "SaveName" : "world1",
 "Password" : "SuperSecret",
 "ListOnMasterServer" : true,
 "AutoSaveCount" : 40,
 "AutoSaveInterval" : 120,
 "GameSettingsPreset" : "StandardPvP"
}
