V Rising How to Create a Dedicated Server

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

Your server will be started instantly!

• 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

1. Create a folder C:\VRisingServer
2. Download SteamCMD for Windows: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd.zip
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

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)

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

To join your newly created V Rising server, you can use the Play Online server button in the game. Alternatively (for password protected) you can use the Direct Connect button.
