Here's how to connect to your V Rising server and adjust the most important settings.
Connecting
- Open the server page in the client area and click Start.
- Wait until the status shows “running”. You can follow the progress in the Console tab.
- Copy the address (IP:Port) at the top of the server page.
- Find the server by its name in the in-game server list or connect via direct connect using this address.
Important settings
In the Startup variables tab:
- Server name (
SERVER_NAME) – name in the server list. - Server password (
SERVER_PASSWORD) – password for joining; leave empty for no protection. - Max. players (
MAX_PLAYERS) – maximum number of players. - Game settings preset (
GAME_SETTINGS_PRESET) – preset for the game rules; some only apply to new saves. - Save name (
SAVE_NAME) – name of the save. - List on Steam (
LIST_STEAM) – show the server in the Steam list.
More settings are in save-data/Settings/ServerHostSettings.json in the Files tab. Changes in the Startup variables tab take effect on the next restart.
Good to know
- The portal generates the RCON password automatically. It is shown once at the top of the server page – please make a note of it. To change it: Startup variables tab (
RCON_PASS); you enable RCON itself withRCON. - The first start takes longer because the server files are downloaded and set up.
