Anyone else having issue not being able to connect to their Nitrado server after buying it? I can find it and select it and put in the password. It loads for a bit then kicks me back to the Windrose home screen

[toxic ravine]

I have a siminlar nproblem where my frrind (host) game crashed and i go tkivked. when i tried to go back in it is greyed out and will not let me join his game even with the invite code or steam invite.

[devout quail]

Same thing is happening to me . I the buyer is having issues yet my friend can connect to it easily.

[fleet linden]

i have different problem because i had this same problem as you but when i finally logged in there was no buildings at all. mission progress and character is all saved but not buildings. just like im playing from the beginning. what is going on? did i wasted almost 5h of the game?

[broken quest]

app_update 3041230 Validate is this valid for steam CMD setup?

getting a no subscription error

[runic hawk]

so is the nitrado server down or something?

[wet wraith]

Trying to join a friends world and just get booted back to the main menu. Have tried all the usual to no avail

[devout quail]

No clue, my friend is able to connect to it just fine no issues. I was able to connect to it just once then got booted and not when I try joining it's either infinite loading screen or booted to the main menu. I've done every single suggestion from every single article, post, reddit and Steam discussion

For the server software

[broken quest]

thank you

[waxen hemlock]

Im having an issue where I cannot join a server. I have a Nitrado server, two of my friends can get on no problem, but myself and another friend cannot access it - it just says server not found. I cant find any server at all. Anyone have a solution?

Here is what i have tried:
-Validate integrity of files
-Validate correct join code and server is running

• Restarted server on Nitrado side
• Restarted Windrose many times
  -Clicked join with correct code several times
• Uninstalled and reinstalled twice on two different drives
• Cleared all firewall exceptions for Windrose
• Installed on another computer with different hardware specs
• Restarted my internet router
• Tried join with a fresh character
• Tried joining after my main character finished the tutorial.
  -Tried joined the friends who were in the server via Steam join.

Any help would be nice. Thank you.

[stiff wraith]

Does someone know by any chance where to change like the spawn rates.. gather rates, max teleports etcetera? 🤔
I'm using Nitrado.

[empty vortex]

There are some FAQ troubleshooting steps for that issue, if you hadn't tested all of these - https://playwindrose.com/faq/

One you could try would be a free vpn such as Cloudflare WARP: https://one.one.one.one/

[empty vortex]

There are no settings for that in the default files - unless presets add.

[slender charm]

hello! i'm wondering if i can upload a game to a dedicated server? we'd ideally like to not lose our progress but would like to move to a full time server

[low obsidian]

I installed via SteamCMD and had no issues with the install or running the hosting service. Doe anyone know if the WindroseServer requires a gpu to launch? I'm not running into any issues running on bare-metal but the server app doesn't seem to want to run inside a hyperv vm.

[empty vortex]

You can, I wrote a guide on it, but automod blocks a link . These are the general steps that should work for every or a majority of providers.

Tldr:

Finding save files:

1. Press Windows Key + R and enter this:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles
2. Open the folder named with your Steam ID, then navigate to RocksDBv2\[GameVersion]\Worlds\
3. Note down the WorldID folder name of the world you want to upload, you will need this later.

Migrating the save:

1. Stop your server, upload your world folder (e.g: 04A4F36F41134855B3AD6FFA08FD11A1) to /R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/[GameVersion]/Worlds/ on your server.
2. Open the /R5/ServerDescription.json file.
3. And set "WorldIslandId": "04A4F36F41134855B3AD6FFA08FD11A1" to match the ID of your uploaded save (It's the folder name).
4. Start your server.

[waxen hemlock]

Had to use an entirely different internet (switched from home internet to mobile hotspot) and it worked. Not sure if any of the fixes had anything to do with it

[solemn temple]

i had a heck of a time i had to disable to advanced sercuity to my router with xfinity not sure if its similar to you

[cursive coral]

One thing I want is to have controller support for the game as an option versus using mouse and keyboard.

[pseudo ridge]

Anyone seen a fix for users being disconnected from a DS after being in for a min or so?

[slender charm]

thank you!

[dull ivy]

Its peoples ROUTERS and Modems. Our friend using the ISP MODEM/Router cant connect by default

[livid pagoda]

Got an odd one... I have a server on my own network, separate computer, and my friends can connect to it but I cannot. I see it when using the invite code and it accepts my password but it sits in the loading screen for a while and then pushes me back out to the main menu.

[steady fjord]

It is an ICE / STUN consent failure when connecting IntraLAN. If you and your server reside behind the same CIDR address (the public IP your ISP uses, or the static IP assigned to your gateway) then you will have an issue connecting to that server.

The other half of the issue is UPnP. UPnP is generally a security hazard and is typically disabled by default by ISP Gateways. If you know your way into your ISP's gateway you should be able to turn UPnP to ON.

[livid pagoda]

Is there a fix for this?

[devout skiff]

we were fighting a boss and the server crashed and the entire world wiped and regenerated due to some graphic issue? the server is running on a windows server via amp

[sand shell]

Was there any update/hotfix in the last couple of hours? I restarted my game and now I can't connect to the dedicated server I have with a friend. I don't have RDP access so I can't check it at the moment, but thinking I might have a version mis-match.

[gray current]

Can someone confirm the routing process here. I have the DS running via a docker on Unraid that is sitting next to my desktop so I am connecting local host. But in game the ping is like 75?

Does this game go like this "PC → Internet → Windrose servers → back to your server"

[ancient summit]

it does

[gray current]

doesn't that defeat the purpose of a dedicated server?

[ancient summit]

since you can't define the port, it's using stun server connection

sure does

[gray current]

All this is doing is making a persistant game

[hot frost]

Any fixes for the game crashing instantly after booting up? Black loading screen for like 3 seconds.

• updated graphics
• changed firewall settings
• tried launch settings with -dx12
• verified game files x2
• re-installed x2
• restarted PC multiple times

Also if I click in this black loading screen my entire computer freezes and I have to force shut down with the power button.

[naive pilot]

it does tho? i played with controller since demo

[random quartz]

How does shared quests work? I started playing a server, and my friend joined late and they have to redo all the quests? is that how its suppose to work?

[random quartz]

I have SharedQuests set to true in the config

[steel raptor]

Can someone tell me if i have the requirements on my pc to play this on my laptop? If I post my specs

[keen shuttle]

So I had a bit of a search and saw some others with high CPU temps on Windrose compared to any other games they usually play, has there been any info on solutions? I'm usually in the low 70s and Windrose is pushing me over into the 90s.

[steel raptor]

I keep getting the message "DirectX 12 is not supported on your system. Try running without the -dx12 or -d3d12 command line argument.'

[keen shuttle]

WHats your specs MR?

[young shale]

I am looking to communicate with players on my server about restarts for updates and etc. Any suggestions?

[steel raptor]

@keen shuttle

[young shale]

Can we see what the system tab says thats your display info you posted.

[young shale]

Minimum Requirements state:

[keen shuttle]

So that an integrated gpu with low memory.. I dont know what it will do tbh.

If anything.

[steel raptor]

I'm not usually a pc gamer so I'm gonna be honest, idk what that means lol

thanks for looking 🙂

[waxen hemlock]

You are a real one for this. Appreciate you

[keen shuttle]

I dont know how optimized the game is, but if it ran I'd be shocked.

[steel raptor]

I have an actual gaming pc but its pretty old so idk if it will even work. that's a task for another night lol

[prime coral]

anyone know why when i try to join a server i get stuck in a loding screen or my game closes

[still trail]

lower ram, slightly weaker cpu, far weaker gpu, so below the listed minimum requirements 🙁

[brisk pendant]

Also a friend of mine downloaded the game and get loaded in. just stays on the map screen

[steel raptor]

thank you!

[rose panther]

To anyone having the "Server not found" issue on dedicated servers. We had 2 friends who couldnt connect, they turned off their router/isp firewall (Security shield for spectrum internet, advanced security for xfinity, etc). They were then able to find the server and connect fine.

[stray gate]

Anyone know if it is any admin /creative mode when we setup our own dedicated server?

[storm estuary]

is this the only solution to the problem? weve got one person out of four of us who cant join

[river ruin]

Game is crashing on my 3050.
I have an AMD Ryzen 7, 32 gb of ram

[strange mirage]

i had a friebnd join my story and he has gotten the main story line

[terse slate]

dedicated server restart is now over 15 minutes. Is that normal?

[quaint wren]

Anyone have any idea how to manually edit keybinds in system files? I use IJKL since I can't use WASD currently "L" won't work even if bound to a movement key

[violet yew]

My friend pc is crashing i have an error code but rather have a mod look if yall would happen to know why causeing it

[ivory tide]

I have a dedicated server, never restart.

[rose panther]

only one ive found

[minor sundial]

anyone know if its normal to spend 5+ minutes loading into the game?

[runic hawk]

i have a nitrado server and when i first loaded into it i made it through the the intro and when it went to next cut scene it loaded back to menu and now that is all it does when i try to load back it. Anyone els dealing with this and how did you fix it

[light crater]

its pretty normal when loading into a game to take awhile

[fiery ferry]

I can't get Windrose to launch, it just starts to load but never even gets to the Unreal Engine logo before it closes the process. Windows 11, 4070TI 12GB, 32GB of system ram. The Demo ran fine. I've turned off firewall, verified the game files and even restarted, nothing changes. Also ran windrose.exe as admin directly, no change.

i9 13900K

[radiant knoll]

Keeps saying invalid password for my Nitrado Server. After I got through the cut scenes

[oblique snow]

same

[runic hawk]

I had that but I realized it’s case sensitive and my cap my first letter in pw and it goes into load scene but it just load it the menu. I know they’re getting slammed but dang fix your servers.

[radiant knoll]

I tried changing the password also and got rid of the caps and restarted. No Luck yet

[runic hawk]

Idk if this is a good sign or bad maybe a little of both. Either a high player count and slamming them and the devs can’t keep up. Or since I know this has been going on since 7pm my time and really no progress if they’re gonna keen up

[radiant knoll]

Welp it is day 1. Headed off to play a bit of Dune 🙂

[runic hawk]

Good luck

[dire path]

Anyone have the issue of connecting to a friend's server?

[runic hawk]

Only thing I have seen issue with is solo offline lol

[keen shuttle]

I hit 93C and my graphics driver reset. Damn.

[flint garden]

Having issue getting my son to join my hosted game, he gets sent to the main menu after it says he's joined. Any solution?

[final yacht]

i cant get past the loading screen, please help

[candid fractal]

SAME

[hazy goblet]

Is it still possible to port a save?

I noticed the structure is different now

[final yacht]

is it possible to get past the loading screen?

[candid fractal]

this just worked for me

[radiant knoll]

Looks like Nitrado changed the settings page. Tried it after that and its working.

[hazy goblet]

i figured it out

[safe hornet]

I have a dedicated server and its working well, people can connect as ports have been forwarded. I have two computers on the same network and have UniFi router. For the love of god I can not fix the NAT, if anyone here has any tips please reply or DM. So bummed that everyone outside my house can play.

I have done tracert and it seems NAT l3 hairpin is ok, is this game rejecting this?

[safe hornet]

I am having the same issue, my outside friends can connect to our server, ports forwarded.

We can connect, do the tutorial (its local) but after that it goes to server then the user drops back to main screen.

[flint garden]

We're local as well. Although, I am running Linux. I'm about to try my windows part.

[safe hornet]

Thanks this is not a good solution and seems many people are having issues with NAT. I have done quite a few test and seems like the router is OK but i have an Unifi nad it has so many things to try and none of them worked at all.

ChatGPT and other sources are poining to the game

[safe hornet]

My server is on Linux/Wine/Docker everybody outside my house is having fun but me and my kid are stuck at the menus

[flint garden]

Hmmm

[flint garden]

Are you running Linux as a client as well?

[flint garden]

I was just able to connect to his hosted game.

[hard ingot]

I'm having a super weird issue with my mouse and headset. After about 2 hours in game my headset dies and mouse stops working. My mic works still however. Only happens in Windrose. So far only fix has been using laptop's speakers. Any ideas what's going on?

[rose panther]

Yeah, agreed. But for non technical people this is a simple solution as its usually just a setting on their isp app or router homepage. The way they have dedicated servers set up hitting windrose servers is not very helpful in the first place

[safe hornet]

I was able to reboot into linux but I have 2x Windows 11 machine internal network

[tranquil canopy]

I keep getting a "Server Not Found" error and can't join my friend but he can join me. Help? I've tried almost every single troubleshooting step besides disabling advanced security (I don't have access to that setting, it's not my internet) Dedicated server

[safe hornet]

Heck yeah, this would be no issue if console had a way to connect to IP.

I would use internal all else use external.

From what i can tell this is called hairpin NAT (could be wrong) but its has to be handled by the router or game.

[flint garden]

Yeah this may be some weird issue for the moment. I'm happy to finally be in a game together at least, but this helps narrow down issues for sure

[lusty bobcat]

This honestly sounds like it could possibly be a memory leak or you're running close to the ram limit of your entire system.

[safe hornet]

Im going to reboot to linux and report back, I doubt this will fix anything. BRB

[flint garden]

Original setup: I'm running Linux, hosted.
Issue: client can't connect .
Solution: windows machine hosted and Linux could connect as client.

[flint garden]

Not running dedicated server.

[hard ingot]

Well that sucks. I can't add more ram

[lavish holly]

Just ran a session for 6 hours straight with 8 friends in the server. (Dedicated server, Linux, proton and docker).

Outside of one server crash the game ran remarkably smooth from the server side... I'm extremely shocked and questioning how the server resources are so low.. or is it like valheim where the peers are actually the hosts and the dedicated server is acting as a connection manager?

I didn't see a single cpu core go above 10% on a 16c/32t 5950x.. which seems extremely efficient for a dedicated server.

[hard ingot]

Is it worth putting in a bug report or support ticket in the server?

[safe hornet]

Holy crap, I have weird stuff here. I rebooted to Linux and when connecting it sat for a bit and I was about to quit and then it connected and I am in the world for the first time.

This makes no sense that an external Linux machine running Wine could connect to the dedicated server but Windows 11 could not, firewall completely disabled.

I am stumped! I do not even feel like playing as after three hours of this crap everyone logged off. This is def a game client issue and they need to fix the connection/NAT issues asap.

lol ifconfig shows that my unifi is providing the same reserved DHCP IP too. pffff im going for a smoke break lol.

[flint garden]

This is going to be some tiny bit of code they're going to patch soon. Sorry you have a rock in your inventory and are trying to join.

[median flare]

Did you use a server egg? I'm looking for one

[rain cloud]

anyone figure out a temp fix to the server not found issue? i'm sure someone already answered in the wall of text above lol

[hollow fossil]

Hi. Is there a way to look up what caused the game to crash? Like a game's error log? Had 2 crushes already. Solo/Offline.

[sly turret]

got kicked from server when entering the 2nd scene in tutorial and then cant rejoin. created a 2nd character, and the same thing happened.

server running in a docker container.

imma give the game time to cook while they iron out the dedi server issues

[north jacinth]

hello i need help!!

i cant join my server it just keeps saying connection error

[midnight oxide]

I'm having trouble getting the server started on a windows VM. When I run the ServerForeground batch file a terminal flashes then closes. I've used steamcmd to install as well as copied the files over from my desktop (where it runs no issue) but the issue persists.

[safe hornet]

Thanks, still battling this, it might be network driver settings. I am playing around with this now.

[safe hornet]

github brocclli guy has a repo, went to Unraid and clicked manual add container. It pulled fine and added any needed varible and works great.

My client side is another issue, my friends seem to be having fun.

[eager lily]

I was able to get it working by changing docker networking to host, then changing P2pProxyAddress to the LAN IP of the server (usually looks something like 192.168.1.x ).

[safe hornet]

add a "pause" to the batch at the end will giv eyou chance to see the error or need admin, but I would pause so you can see the error. Just add the text "pause" at the very end of the batch file.

[midnight oxide]

just says press any key to continue lol

[safe hornet]

Will def give this a whirl, had it at 127.0.0.1 and 0.0.0.0 friend outsied can connect and using linux connects but windows is hell no

[safe hornet]

oh noes it didnt output anything. at the top is ECHO OFF?

[midnight oxide]

yeah

[safe hornet]

ECHO needs to be on and you can see the outputs

im not using that batch but just giving general advice

[midnight oxide]

fair enough, no errors

[crystal imp]

Literally I have done every single thing under the sun troubleshooting connection issues and I cannot connect to my friends server, always right after I put in the password its "server not found"

[midnight oxide]

have them double check the code in R5/ServerDescription.json otherwise it sounds like firewall

[loud agate]

Anyone know why my game crashes my screens and I have to restart comp?

MSI 5080 - i9 12900K

[eager lily]

Check that both you and your friends routers have upnp enabled. Also in Windows services.msc you have upnp service running

[crystal imp]

firewall is allow allow for both exe

[crystal imp]

can you expand on what you mean by double check the code in the json?

[midnight oxide]

If you find the serverdescription.json file you can open it with notepad to find the invite code

[worn valve]

I can not log in to any of my friends servers.....

[crystal imp]

he has provided an invite code, but after I click join and enter the server password the server not found error occurs

[midnight oxide]

ask him to remove the password to see if that helps

[worn valve]

It times out for me when trying to connect to a server....they took off the password and same issue

[rare prairie]

I couldn't load to friend's server (it said I disconnected by myself) from outside his network, but his brother in the same one could.
So with that, has anyone used Hamachi or other virtual lan to try and connect with good results?

[safe hornet]

@eager lily @flint garden Finally fixed it! It was my fault, had the linux docker in bridge mode versus host. Doh!

[fleet talon]

Im running on An RTX 5080 GPU, CPU is 9800X3D.
when Frame gen is enabled on DLSS nothing happens, however when running FSR i do say a good amount of frames Generated.
not sure if it is a hardware issue. Any body having the same issue ?

[safe hornet]

Ah it should be outputting something for you. Maybe it needs admin or paths need " "

[silver kestrel]

Is there a console I lost an entire inventory worth of copper and the death bag didnt give me my copper?

[manic timber]

How do I set a server to hard? I thought I set it with the WorldPresetType to hard and it works?
But apparently the server isn't?

[lament egret]

CLOUD SOMEONE HELP ME WITH MY ISSUE ?

[arctic quiver]

can't get help with an issue if you don't state an issue. so.

[lament egret]

I CANT JOIN MY FRINED'S SERVER !!

[jaunty bronze]

are the ports open or is he using uPnP ?
and game allowed in firewall ?

[jaunty bronze]

turn off fire wall and try again . if your able to join , add game to firewall !

[jaunty bronze]

if you have a fps cap set its 2x the cap ! - 30fps limit will make the game run 60 fps with frame gen

[fleet talon]

No cap

[lament egret]

i have joined him once then we played for 6h then i quit and came back to continue then i didnt let me in

[fleet talon]

When I try DLSS FG nothing happens, once I switch to FSR FPS jumps greatly with X2. Wondering why DLSS does nothing. A friend of mine has almost the same setup except with 5090 and DLSS FG works fine

[jaunty bronze]

is your friend playing right now . or are you trying to join his grayed out server?

[lament egret]

yes he is playing right now

[jaunty bronze]

ask him to restart the server

[jaunty bronze]

ya thats strange

[lament egret]

we did it to many times we closed it and open it sevral times

[jaunty bronze]

you want to test your character on my server , to see if that is not the issue ?

[alpine mauve]

Hi all, is there a console command to resummon Galen, he's dissappeared and no where to be found

[lament egret]

ok

[jaunty bronze]

unable to add you as friend on discord

[jaunty bronze]

AI is saying this , have not tested this

1. The Bonfire Method
   Galen (and other key NPCs) are tied to the Bonfires you build. To "summon" or move him:

Approach any Bonfire at your base.

Press [E] (or your interact key) to open the Bonfire menu.

Select the option to Resettle or Spawn the Doctor.

Tip: You can actually have Galen appear at every bonfire you build. If you have multiple outposts, you can summon a version of him to each one so he’s always nearby for quests or healing potions.

looks like that works 😄

[rich relic]

So odd... Got a hosted server via GPortal. Managed to log in to it fine and run around after the tutorial yesterday, before the update. Post update I can't enter my server at all. Loading screen then straight back to menu

[woeful topaz]

me to

[jaunty bronze]

make sure server is updated, reason why i dont rent server , but buy VPS servers

[lyric void]

Is the game buggy? Cause early access

[jaunty bronze]

is the sky blue ? Cause sunshine

https://tenor.com/view/huh-cat-huh-m4rtin-huh-huh-meme-what-cat-gif-5834484041415217257

[lyric void]

So it's buggy, got it

[jaunty bronze]

thats not what i am saying

[lyric void]

What are you trying to say?

[jaunty bronze]

you do know your in tech-support channel right ?

[lyric void]

Not the right place to ask? Okay, moving, sorry

[jaunty bronze]

sorry just joking around , i have not seen any bugs yet , only fps issues but you can fix that with the right settings

[lyric void]

Noted! Thanks

[lyric void]

Like lowering them?

[jaunty bronze]

yes masking sure you have the right settings for your pc , and using dlss and so on

[lyric void]

Thanks!

[jaunty bronze]

have 5800x3d and 3070 and get easy 120 fps with no buildings around

[lyric void]

3060 and i510400f here

[jaunty bronze]

about the same settings then

using DLSS + FSR frame gen and capped my fps to 30 , making it 60

[lyric void]

Ajght Thanks!

[lyric void]

What settings u rocking?

[topaz python]

It has all modern frame generation solutions like DLLS en FSR to help under performed videocards (GPU).
The game is more CPU related, but you can tweak some settings down.

I'm just moved on to a second island and have no big issues running the game.

I had more issues with the Demo version than the fully released one.
They improved somethings

[echo flower]

Is ther a way to unkeybind Numpad arrow keys? It seems they are set for turn camera and I have needed to rekeybind Middle Mouse Button to another mouse keybind which is set to use Numpad keys.

This causes me pressing Shift-Numpad 4 to turn the camera instead of Heavy Attack. I do not see these on the keybind list to unkeybind them.

[hard wedge]

Good morning, I'm having trouble finding the location fpr savegames (worlds and characters). It should be in <root>/R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/<game version>/, but I don't have a folder "Saved" in "R5".
We started playing yesterday, I hosted, now I want to move the world to a dedicated server (and create backups), but I can't find it. In the demo it was right in that directory. But demo didn't have steam cloud saving. Any ideas would be highly appreciated!

[rich relic]

It is as far as I can tell

[hard wedge]

nvm, found it in %localappdata%\R5 (#1493838523642413147 message) - thanks to @lime topaz

[lime topaz]

Oh, this channel exists

[lime topaz]

Intel Iris Xe is not supported (it will fail to boot the game), and if you want to know if your older PC could run the game, plop here the specs 🫡

[spare ore]

I was curious as to if someone who is more knowledgeable about computers and performance could tell me if my Lenovo Legion Y7000 laptop could run this game smoothly without choppiness.

Here are some of the specs:
Performance: Intel Core i7-9750H
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060,
Display: 15.6" or 17.3" FHD (1920x1080) IPS, with 60Hz or 144Hz refresh rates.

I’m okay with lowering settings. I do that on most games but heard this game may be a little more intensive than what I normally play. Please let me know so I can decide if I’m going to get the game because it looks fun. I’m a noob when it comes to this stuff

[tender spire]

Does anyone know how to fix the issue of not being able to connect to any server? I rented a dedicated server and I can't even use it.

[misty surge]

does anyone still have the problem on going friend(coop) stuck on loading screen and jump back to main menu?

[lilac jetty]

i do

figured out how to fix it ?

[lilac jetty]

cus i think its the network blocking issue

[misty surge]

nope. the staff say use ipv4 and dns... also not working.

[turbid gulch]

There's a thread about this in the other support channel

[misty surge]

yea. staff stop updating us.

[tender spire]

@misty surge yes me

[misty surge]

good to know there still got people having this problem and not just me..

found any tips or fixes?

[lilac jetty]

have you tried contacting ur ISP ?

[misty surge]

my ISP don't block anything. i from SEA. and staff call us to test the cmd command and it show unblocked.

[tender spire]

No, I've already tried everything I read on the internet, nothing works, I even rented a server for 3 months and that didn't work either.

[misty surge]

wow..

[abstract sonnet]

I find it very strange that so many people are having problems with the servers. I installed mine yesterday (on a root server with Windows Server 2022 at Hetzner). I started it once, adjusted the generated configuration, and it's been running without any problems since. No connection issues, etc. I just allowed the server executable in the firewall, and that's it.

[rich relic]

Mine was working yesterday. I even ran around for a bit.. First thing. Then I think there was an update yesterday? And despite updating the server fine I keep getting chucked out to menu when trying to join it

[obtuse tartan]

is it possible to transfer a local save to a dedicated server?

[hard wedge]

Yes - see https://playwindrose.com/dedicated-server-guide/

[sacred thicket]

hello, i cant launch nitro server this morning ? any news about it ? i have been trying to start since 4h

[rain spear]

I need some help it anyone is tech savt around

savy

[lost maple]

Same, I installed the server onto a Win 11 Pro laptop I have for windows based servers and it has ran perfectly since luanch. My mates and I were playing for 5 hours with no issues. Only prob I had was damn windows update deciding to kick in 😄

From what I've read it seems to be ISP related, some not allowing traffic etc.

[hollow tulip]

i can play for a while then suddenly the game gives me that after crashing my gpu driver anyone else knows what to do?

[rich relic]

The fact that everyone's dedicated host servers also aren't working tells me it's the game there's an issue with.

Mines with GPortal. Just seen above someone has a Nitrado server. We're all in the same boat it seems, ha

[misty surge]

one people say they work if use VPN. but no way for me to accept that need vpn to play a game.

[empty vortex]

A lot of the issues most people seem to report are client-side, and most likely not server related, unless those hosts do something different. That being said I'm sure there are some server bugs, being early access, just haven't heard reports of them myself.

[rain spear]

I cant even get the game to launch sits a black sreen for a min mines and gots to, tried a fiew trmes, and even installed sindows just got the same efft

[empty vortex]

^ a VPN fixing not being able to find servers for some people is due to their ISP/Router blocking the systems used by the game as one example.

[rain spear]

and noy my other steam games one launcht hey do the same

[sacred thicket]

nitro is dead

[lost maple]

This is why I prefer to host my own, using providers always has problems. I use Gportal for my Dune server, as soon as Funcom sort out the self hosted servers, I'm ditching them, been nothing but issues.

[hard wedge]

Yes, fix your GPU driver problem 🙂
Unreal Engine crashing when GPU driver crashes is not the initial problem here.

[hollow tulip]

The thing is my drivers are up to date 🤣

I mean I can play games like star citizen and warframe without much issues

[hard wedge]

That doesn't mean that there is no problem 🙂
Both nvidia and amd have had issues with drivers recently.
Might want to check an slightly older driver, if that happens more than once.
Most up to date is not alway best.

I've had very frequent driver crashes some months ago, only in one game (don't remember which one, I think it was StarRupture (also UE5 btw, if I'm not mistaken)). AMD card here. Cleaned driver with DDU and installed an older one, since then rock stable. Had that same crash as you posted yesterday once at first game start, just reloaded, since then rock-stable.

[hollow tulip]

then i must be unlucky 😢 i'm planning on getting a brand new gpu anyways so probably once i've uninstalled the AMD drivers from my pc and return to Nvidia i won't be having those issues anymore thanks for answering me Demodhar

[hard wedge]

No problem. You have a chance though that the same problem happens with nvidia. Just remember that most up to date must not be best, and always, I repeat, always remove driver with DDU and make a clean new install. Never update gpu drivers.

[hollow tulip]

will do thanks for the tip 🙂

[gloomy socket]

i ran palworld fine should i be okay with this game?

[blazing vector]

Do you guys know, if I buy the game server, can I transfer the progress from the hosted on my pc one to the server or we will have to start from beginning?

[gloomy socket]

buy?

[shy meteor]

anyone hosting seeing any log errors for things like this when using a host (xRealm in my case)

yeah, thru this

[hard wedge]

That should be possible. Instructions are in the officiel Dedicated Server HowTo on the Windrose website

[empty vortex]

Steps in pinned messages here too

[tardy void]

can someone help us me and the bois are figuring the how to start a dedicated server, we already watched clips and yt videos but it seems to not be working ..

[lime topaz]

You have to be way more specific about what you have, what you did and what does not work.

I assume you did read the actual official server guide.

[tardy void]

nvm the refresh button worked we are able to edit the server thru nitrado lmao

[snow flume]

Anyone else having stutter and framedrops with framegen? Mostly when i open/close chests/inventory etc.

[tardy void]

does the restart option in nitrado settings lose all the loots that are on the ground?

[lime topaz]

A lot of people do, yes. To my knowledge the game devs acknowledged this particular issue.

[snow fulcrum]

When transferring a world to a dedicated server does it not keep bases , map knowledge and fast travel points that you have already created?

[fathom turret]

does anyone know when and if the Windrose Early Access will be live on GeforceNow? Because the Demo was already playable there.

[surreal valve]

Does anyone have trouble setting a p2pproxyaddress other than localhost on their server? Every time I try to change it, the server just won't start.

[sharp rampart]

how to fully delete an item?

[stuck token]

Anyone else having massive fps drops upon entering Tortuga town? Yes my rig is decent enough to run other games on High settings. I get 70-80 fps in game. but just go to Tortuga and it drops below 15. Not even low settings change anything

[proud charm]

might be due to the massive glowing barrier thing

[stuck token]

outside tortuga all fine only in docking area and town

[grave girder]

Is there a way to get one to one support? I've bought the game, hit a bug, logged a bug report and all my friends are playing without me.

[steel raptor]

I’ll do that later tonight when I get home from work. Thank you!

[mellow dome]

Anyone know if nitrado is having issues like gportal?

[deft needle]

Hello, everyone. I pretty much only joined so I could ask this:

Does anybody play on Mac? I have a PC with a 3070 (so it'll run pretty well), but my wife has a Macbook Pro M2, and I know the game isn't native supported. I was wondering if Whiskey or one of the other available options should be able to run it.

[brittle gorge]

Is anyone having an issue of when they type in a dedicated server code it keeps saying server cant be found or smth.

[midnight flicker]

Just question, has anyone else had dedi server crashing after few hours? I am suspecting memory leak or something in the software, as my server computer runs other servers fine without the server program crashing for days on end.

[pale fulcrum]

hello , if i host the game for my 2 friend one of my friends allways disconnect for some reason , but my question is if i pay for server there can be issues too or is it safe to spend money on dedicated server and just play without issues

[indigo lance]

So what do we do about the game crashing every 5 minutes?

[sand radish]

The game runs perfectly with Crossover

[boreal birch]

I thought the demo save was suppose to come over to the full game, am I wrong? If I'm not how do I get it to show up?

[grave girder]

How long does the loading screen take for most people? I can't get past it (waited up to ten minutes so far).

[keen urchin]

hello i have buy the game on steam and dowload but the game is not lauched for this rqasons

[unborn helm]

if i start my world i go back to main

[grave girder]

Thanks. I'm 99% certain it's a client conflict with my setup. But I don't know the client, so 🤷🏻‍♂️

[river latch]

So im getting endless loading screen loading the server i made

[prisma dome]

i cant join an server

i dont know how to fix

[river latch]

Any help i jus wanna go play xD it allowed on firewall etc it let me do tutorial etc

[pale junco]

Having the same issue when loading a server i load back the the main menu

[river latch]

I just didt something and it worked for me endless load screen

I opened my network adapter setting (ethernet) disabled the ivp6 protocol and loaded up now im on my deserted island yayyyyy

[keen urchin]

hello always the same message wisual c++ 2022 not found

and cant install

[spark sierra]

Hey. I'm starting server. My friend connects to it. Yesterday we finished on the sea and now while he tries join he shows in game for a moment together with his ship (i see that from other ship) and he is disconnected after few seconds. Is there a way for him or for me to reset his position ? Respawn him or something and do not lose his character ?

I was trying to rename islandId and thought maybe then he as a clinet will understand it as other map and his position would be resetted but it did not work.

[ocean smelt]

problem is probably bigger... even if you load the loading screen youìll just stay here stuck forever

i'm looking for a solution too 🥲

[grave girder]

Resolved it, by disabling IPv6 on my network adapter

[undone solar]

Anyone run into an issue with dedicated server where every restart creates a new world folder?

[grave girder]

go to network settings, find your ethernet/network adapter, go into the adapter settings and uncheck IPv6. It'll then default to IPv4 and might work?

[undone solar]

Disabling ipv6 doesn't fix the issue. Every restart of the server creates a new world folder entirely.

Dedicated server not running a client.

[hard ingot]

It doesn't

[rugged sparrow]

Hi, I just installed this game and join my friends' server
Which is all new, then I stucked at loading screen while i read the log with lots of errors about no such function
Will it relative to my hyper-v?
I'm also a developer and definitely need this windows feature 🙁

[undone solar]

Every time it starts, there's a new world folder with a new world. I've tried to copy the old folder files into the new folder and set the ID in the .json, but as soon as the server starts, it creates a whole new world folder like a brand new game.

[rugged sparrow]

I just wanna join my friends

[zinc falcon]

Hi, I had the same problem. Turning off IPv6 and manually setting the DNS helped; then I restarted my PC and everything works now.

[nimble maple]

I'm trying to make dedicated server run on windows startup. I tried both Task Scheduler and creating a shortcut in Startup folder. Did anyone manage to make it run this way?

[lucid basin]

Anyone know exactly what Coop_StatsCorrectionModifier and Coop_ShipStatsCorrectionModifier in the server settings actually do? Does a value of 1 mean it's twice as much per player? or does a value of 1 mean no scaling/player?

[unkempt trail]

Hi, my sound is choppy. I have no problems in windows itself, only in game and my drivers are set up correctly and updated to the latest.
Anyone got any ideas?

[cloud pier]

8. Coop_StatsCorrectionModifier: Adjusts enemy Health and how fast enemies lose Posture based on the number of players on the server; Default: 1.0; Range: [0.0; 2.0];
9. Coop_ShipStatsCorrectionModifier: Adjusts enemy Ship Health based on the number of players on the server; Default: 0.0; Range: [0.0; 2.0];

[lucid basin]

yeah "Adjusts" doesn't exaclty explain it

[cold mesa]

Hey everyone,

My friend and I are trying to play Windrose together, but we're having an issue. Whenever one of us hosts a server, the other tries to join, but instead of connecting, it just kicks us back to the main menu without any error message.

We've both updated the game and are using the same version. We also tried hosting from both sides, but the result is the same.

Has anyone experienced this before or knows what might be causing it?

[twin sinew]

Hi! i am trying to play the game with a few friends, but the main quests do not appear in their quest log. Now i have the first boat unlocked, but they don't. Anyone know how to fix this?

[lost saffron]

Any fix on "unexpected error occured" when trying to join a friend?

[cloud pier]

adjust, aka increase it if number is higher, depening on players on server, lowers it if number is lower.

[lucid basin]

does "0" mean it's initial health * 0 or initial health + (initial health * 0)

[cloud pier]

Coop_StatsCorrectionModifier: Adjusts enemy Health and how fast enemies lose Posture based on the number of players on the server;

• **Default: 1.0; **
• Range: [0.0 - 2.0];

so if you put it on 0. it should be disabled.

[nimble pollen]

Hello, I have a problem: I can neither host a game nor join a friend. The loading screen just keeps freezing—even after about 10 minutes, nothing happens.

Before I screw up our dedicated server, does anybody know the entry to make POIs respawn?

example of it would be nice also please

I am wondering if this: "RegeneratePOIs" value="True" would work?

[white flame]

So for dedicated servers how do they stay on if you have boot up ttheir exe everytime they launfh?

[bronze imp]

also can you turn off fast travel spots if you are not the one to find it.

[midnight oxide]

i checked event viewer and it doesn't like the ntdll.dll so i'm going to try a different version of windows

Can you copy a Hosted server world (Nitrado) to a local machine to play? I tried copying the 'Worlds' folder and it lists but just goes back to main screen after launching.

[solar river]

i did it and restart my pc, but not working

[chrome mortar]

Morning all you epic pirates!!!! I am running the dedicated server tool on my PC and need to know if there is a way to make it reboot every 6 hours, to regenerate copper in the mines? Thanks

I don't understand your point; please give me an example.

[eager socket]

1 should be the normal increase on top of the basic setting, right?

So, if the basic setting is 1 (100%) having the modifier to 1 means each player increase it by 100%

[barren sundial]

if i buy a dedicated server will i be able to still play in my world or do i have to make a new one???

[solar river]

reinstall only windrose or must reinstall steam?

[azure wadi]

You can go to either - and your charcter is the sameif you use the same one, so you can take stuff from one server to another.

[barren sundial]

huh

[azure wadi]

Do you mean you want to move your current world to the dedicated server? If so, yes you just copy the 'World' folder' - it works... I have an issue as I want to do it the other way round and bring my DS back local to play and that doesn't seem to work

[harsh holly]

hello guys i recently started a server but when i try to find it with the invite code it says no server found is this a glitch or is there something i have to do in the dashboard

Hi,

Why does this product not have LAN capabilities and has to passtrough some CNC/master server to connect eachother.

1. Are there any plans to change this?
2. If not are we allowed to make a community patch to by pass this anti-consumer behavior?

[craggy elbow]

What the heck. I went to host my own game and it's kicking me back to the MENU?! I just set up my port forwarding too.

I don't know if anybody knows what to do, but I need help.

[solar river]

yes

I waited about 30 to 40 minutes from the loading screen to the menu, and it still appears the same regardless of how much longer I wait.

Can you guide me on how to check that part?

[balmy night]

Hi all. rented a Gportal server to play windrose with mates. can find the server in game. once i put in password and connect a short loading screen appears before booting me back to the game start screen every time. Anyone else having this issue? I have tried all the usual googling, verifying game files etc, nothing has worked so far. would appreciate any help or advice plz.

[leaden stirrup]

Got the server logs and/or an error message?

[craggy elbow]

Man.

I'm just so confused that the Beta worked fine, and now this works atrociously. Like how could it have worked then, and not now?

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a capacity thing. But it's not, this is some deeper server settings type thing.

[leaden stirrup]

It goes like that pretty often

[balmy night]

Dont think i have error messages, though i will admit i dont really know what im looking at, just lines of text to me.

[manic mulch]

heh hiya ppls i was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this issue ( everytime i try to join my dedicated server game ether closes or puts me at the starting screen were you hit play

[leaden stirrup]

I’m starting to think there’s core flaws with the way the server files are written tbh

[leaden stirrup]

Can ye post whatever logs you have?

[balmy night]

Cant help, but having the exact same issue. at least you know your not alone.

[craggy elbow]

Yeah, i'm just really surprised.

[manic mulch]

https://giphy.com/gifs/meh-just-saying-captainsparklez-p8BOVqc17KVy0

[leaden stirrup]

Usually things like this issue is a problem with either player/server access validation or the server itself is unstable

[leaden stirrup]

What time did you see the issue occur?

[manic mulch]

well like i connected to server did the turtoal and bam nada basicly

[still raptor]

Hello, Can anyone help me? Why I cant connect to my friends world it keeps kicking me back to the Main menu

[visual yew]

i need help, my friend and i cant enter each other's server 🙁

[manic mulch]

wow i guess alot of ppl haveing this type of issue

[leaden stirrup]

Yeah. I can only provide advice rn as I don’t got my laptop with me to dig through files. Mistake apparently

So to get this straight, it’s either not working or a coin toss for getting and staying connected to servers and friends?

[balmy night]

Worked last night for about 5 mins, then the login in - boot back to start screen started. i assumed it was first day problems and left it until tonight, logged tonight, same issue everytime.

[balmy night]

Does not work at all for me now, click to connect to server, get a short loading screen (30 secs maybe) then booted back to start screen.

[teal ferry]

We got nearly the same, but the game completely closed. No matter if tried to connect to server or a single player game. Did you try single player game?

[balmy night]

yes, single player game loads. google told me to play the tutorial, which i did in single player. still doesnt solve connecting to my Gportal server though.

[leaden stirrup]

Sounds like a connection refused or something similar

I’ve not encountered this specific issue yet but I’m also running the server on a private k3 cluster. Everything I’ve encountered has been on local network. I’ve got an issue with the server cannot run without being root and it needing to access the internet for some reason. Very different problems unfortunately.

I wonder if it’s an issue with the 3rd party server hosts

Hello! Could you please tell me why I can't access my friend's multiplayer game servers? We're both in Russia. Everything works fine for him, but when I try to find his server, I get an error, and when I create my own, I'm redirected to the main menu. Could you please provide the IP address of the game server and the servers themselves so I can share them with my internet provider if the issue is on their end?

https://one.one.one.one/

on another channel some ppl say fixed it with that solution

worth to try

[leaden stirrup]

Looking through your logs, it looks like it starts, but when you try to connect it is throwing an error that is so helpfully labeled as unknown

[shrewd hare]

Anyone has a good grafikk settings having some frame drops and some stuttring running a cpu i9-11900kf with asus tuf 3090

[leaden stirrup]

Haven’t seen as graphics issues but the game does eat at ur cpu (that may just be unreal engine tho)

[shrewd hare]

oh i know xD

[unreal atlas]

Set it with nvidia app with override features. pick DLSS model L and pick Ultra performance on nvida app and enjoy

[shrewd hare]

Thanks going to try it

[leaden stirrup]

lol nvidia at it’s finest

[unreal atlas]

[leaden stirrup]

Try changing the global nvidia settings if it refuses to give the specifics for windrose

[patent galleon]

anyone find a way around the P2P? i cant even connect to my own server

[leaden stirrup]

U getting any errors or anything interesting in ur logs

[unreal atlas]

Gonna get refund still keep getting that problem, just bought it for co-op. it is even does not work with p2p or dedicated servers

[patent galleon]

No its the P2P my internet is CG-NAT so thats a issue. i cant tunel it out like i have with minecraft. unless im missing something

[leaden stirrup]

It works if everyone is on the same network but that’s abt it

[leaden stirrup]

So are you have issues with peer to peer due to ur internet connection or is it just kicking you out without warning?

[patent galleon]

my internet is the only thing i can come up with. i can find it with the invite code and when i join it just loads until i end up back at the menu. the server logs show "failed to connect to remote" and thas all i got lol

[livid pagoda]

It's a known issue that you cannot connect to servers on the same network

[leaden stirrup]

Ah so you are also experiencing the problem

[desert dragon]

Hello. I was able to play with friends yesterday on their server but now I am unable to connect. The server shows up as empty despite everyone being on it and while trying to directly connect through steam friends I can put in the password but it just boots me saying "Server not found". I verifed, uninstalled and reinstalled. But the server still shows up as empty despite people being on it.

[patent galleon]

should i connect to my phone hotspot and see if that works?

[manic mulch]

UG

[livid pagoda]

some people have said that works yeah

[desert dragon]

Even inputting the same invite code I get server not found

[manic mulch]

well ive spent 85 mins trying to connect "within my local network" with no luck it just throws an unknowen error and kicks the game/restartes the server

[leaden stirrup]

Hmm

[patent galleon]

i can also confirm that using a differrent network (phones hotspot) fixes the connection issue

[livid pagoda]

#1493599595463442544 message

Dev is aware and said they are working on a fix

[manic mulch]

oh?

[leaden stirrup]

Hey could you post the logs if you got them? Wanna see if there’s any difference in connection

[patent galleon]

one sec

[brave vortex]

hello guys. we rented a dedicated server but some of my pals cant connect to it. they are stuck forever in the loading screen. any workarrounds !?

[leaden stirrup]

It’s a known issue that devs are working on

[patent galleon]

@leaden stirrup do you want the entire log file? or just a few lines?

[leaden stirrup]

Lemme see the entire file please

[dreamy junco]

is there a way to disable global illumination completely?

[leaden stirrup]

Check ur world file. I think there was a variable for it

[dreamy junco]

where is that located?

[leaden stirrup]

This on a server or solo

[dreamy junco]

a server

[leaden stirrup]

Ur using the broccoli install, that helps a little bit. There’s something funky about its connection process. I haven’t looked too far into ur log yet tho

[balmy night]

hey all. i did a full factory reset on Gportal. So after a lot of chat gpt, it seems to be narrowed down to a Gportal server issue for me. chat gpt checked the logs and confirmed that the server is consistently crashing at the exact same point, even after a factory reset. This is a server-side failure that you cannot fix through the dashboard.
The fact that it stalls at FacialAnimation every single time indicates that the server's virtual environment is failing to allocate the necessary resources or is missing a core library required for the game engine to finish loading. Because the server never finishes this log, it never reaches the "Heartbeat" stage where it tells the game world it's open. When you try to connect, the "handshake" fails instantly because the server process is essentially "frozen" in the middle of booting up. I have made a ticket with Gportal, goodness knows how long they will take to reply.

[patent galleon]

@leaden stirrup if you need anyhting else ill have claudecode diga around lol

[hot rune]

HI! Bit of a special case here:
OS Name/Version: Ubuntu 24 LTS
AMP/v2.7
Problem Description:
Running a Windrose server on an ubuntu 24 LTS (12cores 24GB). Server is up&running, connecting via invite code works fine. Have been playing yesterday for 6 hours with 3 friends.
But … there is no persistance of the buildings. Just an empty island.
I backed up the container after install and at 0500 - trying to connect seems to create a new world any time a player tries to connect.
I went back to the snap from 0500 & deleted all the new seeds & set “WorldIslandId”: to the correct Seed → still empty island.
Any chance of restoring the progess we made?

[manic mulch]

i been seeing that to were it makes new worlds

[leaden stirrup]

Ok the file location changes depending on if it’s 3rd party or not but if you can find the log file go out of that directory by one and you should see something related to world files

[marsh snow]

My friend and I wanted to play together. We completed the entire tutorial from start to finish.

When I try to create a server, it kicks me back to the menu during loading. When I try to join my friend’s server, it gives an unexpected error.

Please tell me how to fix this.

[leaden stirrup]

That sounds about right give the logs you sent. I don’t remember whether I responded you or not though.

[half pollen]

Anyone having issues where the self hosted dedicated server stops after a couple of hours?

[livid pagoda]

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1493986795518427266

[twilit lake]

are you running from the bat file or the exe?

[leaden stirrup]

It’s probably a ram or cash problem but who can say without looking at the logs

[half pollen]

I'm running the .BAT file via a Windows install

[twilit lake]

does the cmd prompt window close or stay up when the server is gone?

[half pollen]

The window closes

[twilit lake]

its crashing then

[dreamy junco]

im not using a 3rd party server just the in game one

[twilit lake]

take it windows isnt restarting or anything else dodgy, going to sleep or anything else

[half pollen]

Yes it seems to, but if i try to check the error it seems due to coding issues

[twilit lake]

CPU temps ok & RAM usgae?

[hot rune]

Thanx alot - this a bug that is worked on?
... and why does redirecting to the correct seed not work?

[half pollen]

Yes system seems to run fine, it is a virtual machine on a proxmox cluster.
For the rest windows is stable, but will wait for some updates.
I only need to restart it around 2-4 hours.

[leaden stirrup]

It’s also running fine on a Kubernetes’s cluster, not just proxmox

[livid pagoda]

Seems like it but I don't know. Probably best to follow that post and say you are experiencing the sam/similar issue as it will get lost here.

[twilit lake]

mines been running for approx 2 hours on an old PC I have and its not done anything like that yet

[leaden stirrup]

On God, I’m starting to lose track of conversations in here lol

[half pollen]

Thank you, i will keep this conversation on track.

[leaden stirrup]

look at steam files

[fast bridge]

I created a Docker image for Ubuntu for the server, and verified that it is functional. I don't want to post links as not sure if its allowed, but search github for a repo under the same name as my discord username if interested

[patent galleon]

does that help the P2P issue lol

[twilit lake]

wonder if its ISP blocks or DNS blocking?

[fast bridge]

My comment is unrelated to anything here, just not sure where else to post it

[narrow knoll]

hey all, i just bought the game, when i joins my friends server, i cant move and after 5 sec, i am kicked back to the main menu. Tried allowing the app in Win11 firewall, changed the DNS, switched to IP4 all the same issue. I also had this issue (albeit i was able to move) in the demo, but bought the game thinking it must be fixed by now.

[south shale]

The same is happening to me...

[livid pagoda]

Follow this thread. Seems like the same issue. https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1493690022619254866

[leaden stirrup]

Seems like theres a problem with some servers connecting to EOS thats causing some of the connection problems

[narrow knoll]

my friend just pressed host to start a game > thats not a dedicated server right?

[twilit lake]

no

[wheat jasper]

Hey there!
I am trying to join to my friends server, but i get stuck in the loading page, I tried to delete the file saveProfiles in appdata/local/r5/saved, and disabled the steam cloud but no luck, does anyone know about it?

[livid pagoda]

indeed that is not, my apologies

[twilit lake]

What ISP are you with?
I have a friend who had the same issued on the demo connecting to me hosting but a friend in the USA was able to connect ok

[wheat jasper]

I am in ireland and he is in colombia 😆
Could that be it?

[twilit lake]

i'm in the UK do you want to just see if you can connect to my dedicated server

[supple pebble]

No

[wheat jasper]

I am trying now to create one myself... but seems to me that i am the problem haha
its stuck in loading

[supple pebble]

It's probably generating the world

[twilit lake]

it could be your ISP, firewall, port forwarding, DNS or a number of things

[fading kayak]

I am trying to run a dedicated server, but it doesnt start, are there any log files it stores? Seems like it crashes right away. It's an older computer, and it runs fine on my newer computer. Valheim runs fine on the older one.

[supple pebble]

how are you hosting it and whats the os

[fading kayak]

self host, OS is win 10, Intel i7-930, 4 core, 12 gig memory, SSD. Its an older AMd graphics card

[twilit lake]

running via exe or bat?

[fading kayak]

ran both, the bat, as admin, in powershell

turned anitvirus off also

[supple pebble]

do you have all the pre requisites installed?

[fading kayak]

i installed c++ redistributable

[supple pebble]

it wants vc 2022

[fading kayak]

i can install and try that

[bright roost]

is there an update coming for the the non stop fatal error?

[muted glade]

Does anybody know if it runs well on Linux? I have kubuntu installed

[sand radish]

Yes it does, I recomend using docker
https://github.com/indifferentbroccoli/windrose-server-docker

[supple pebble]

yes, wine is required

[narrow knoll]

So there is me player A, my friend player B and my friend player C

When Play A joins Player Bs game, A gets kicked out

When Player B joints Player As game, B gets kicked out

Player C can join Player As game, and play no problem

Player C can join Player Bs game, and play no problem

Player A cannot join Player Cs game, gets kicked out

Player B can join Player Cs game but shows naked character with see through pants, and gets kicked out

(And no i am not joking)

[patent galleon]

player A and player B have beef

[leaden stirrup]

Some P2P issues seem to be caused by the server not being exposed to the internet, its not reaching EOS. That said, you may want to consider changing ur server name to not include your name.

[patent galleon]

thanks ill look into it and i thought i did lol

[narrow knoll]

helpful thanks seperate issue tho ... 😄

[leaden stirrup]

usin this on my k3 stack but running into the connection problems. :/

[bold vessel]

Ah i see other people are having the same issue. I am hosting my server on my nas and the tutorial works fine but after that it kicks me out and I cant log into the server. Even though its on the same network. I know that container IP is 172.17.0.12 but the game ask for 127.0.0.1 would that make a difference?

[livid pagoda]

It's a bug that you can't connect to a server on the same network. Have to wait for a fix.

[tulip fulcrum]

When conencting to my friends dedicated server im getting relayed through AWS in South Korea adding like 300ms?

[supple pebble]

how are you hosting it?

the primary endpoint has to be the local ip of the machine

[bold vessel]

Gotcha so its a bug at the moment. Dang

[supple pebble]

or it can also be 0.0.0.0

[bold vessel]

my nas is at 192.168.1.115 and my pc is at 192.168.1.95 I'm just running unraid and I am currently using brocooli docker to host the server

[supple pebble]

then the server will respond to the internal docker ip into your local network ip

so anything trying to connect the local ip should go through

however, you dont connect with ip, you use the code

[leaden stirrup]

so does work with the server inside a k3 stack?

[bold vessel]

Yep i can connect to it and I can see it if I dont leave the tutorial. but once the tutorial finishes thats when the game kicks me out and cannot log back in.

[leaden stirrup]

same here

[supple pebble]

is the port natted correctly?

[still trail]

tutorial is still single player, despite appearing like you're connecting. it doesn't actually touch the server until after you finish.

[supple pebble]

the very first tutorial is, the one you are in the boat

[still trail]

right - so they're not being kicked, they're never connecting in the first place.

[bold vessel]

Well great news I got it to work

[supple pebble]

natting?

[livid pagoda]

I would love to know what you did to make it work

[bold vessel]

I set my docker to Host mode and on the "ServerDescription.json" file I changed the 127.0.0.1 to my NAS IP, which mine is 192.168.1.115 and now i'm logged in to the world now I'm testing if my other PC can log in at the same time.

[leaden stirrup]

any luck?

[copper anvil]

anyone faced a Crash to desctop, with this line in the log ?
[380]LogOutputDevice: Error: [Callstack] 0x00007ff787c4a01b Windrose-Win64-Shipping.exe!UnknownFunction []

[supple pebble]

you can also try 0.0.0.0

[patent galleon]

Anyone who is on the same network as your server. if you can and have a guest network try joining the guest netowrk. i tested it and i was able to join my own server while connected to the guest network

not sure if the loading times to join a server are long but it took it a minute. hope that helps someone

[bold vessel]

yep two pcs on the same network work

[brazen bough]

So if i started a local game can i move that to a ded server?

I dont want to get too far before i switch

[livid pagoda]

yeah there's a guide on how to do that pinned in this channel

[bold vessel]

so what I did was on the ServerDescription.json I changed the "P2pProxyAddress" from 127.0.0.1 to the PC that is hosting the game in my case it was 192.168.1.115. I also made sure to switch the docker from bridge mode to host mode. and now I can connect two computers to my nas that host my game without any issues

[livid pagoda]

Can you still connect to it externally?

[bold vessel]

Sorry I no way to test that. I mostly play these kind of games with my partner. I could try to give a friend a game code to test it if someone has a spare key I can test that out

[livid pagoda]

feel free to dm me and I'll test an external connection

[honest tundra]

Question? when setting up a 10 spot dedicated server, can you keep 1 spot back for yourself, so your not locked out?

[leaden stirrup]

success!

[fading kayak]

I guess you can make a character before you let anyone else join.

but also in the ServerDescription.json you can change the number MaxPlayerCount and re-lunch the server

[livid pagoda]

same! now to make sure external connections still work

[honest tundra]

Thanks I'll try and figure that out, cheers for the info

[leaden stirrup]

I don't need external. Everyone is one the same network and we are using a k8 cluster, slightly differnt than docker.

[lapis pawn]

As far as I've seen in setting up my server, there isn't an option for reserving slots.

[honest tundra]

But as long as I've a character on the server, I won't get locked out if it fills up?

[lapis pawn]

I don't understand what you mean by "charater on the server". Worlds and characters are saved seperately.

[livid pagoda]

can confirm external connections do work with this workaround

[still trail]

that should have no impact, no

[pastel kindle]

turning on hdr? anyone i click on and on release it just stays off yes my display can run hdr

[honest tundra]

I'm worried if I open the server up without the password, it will fill up and I won't get on myself

[lapis pawn]

Again, I've not seen any way to reserve a slot. If you open the flood gates, there's no guarantee. I'd suggest you password it and only share it with your friends.

[brazen bough]

Yea id never just leave it open. Used to do that on games and always had to fight for slot

[shrewd valley]

How do i get approved for Drops on my twitch channel for my viewers?

[dim quest]

anybody know how to upload a save file to nitrado?

Nitrado in restart loop. Exactly like it does with other games like Ark Ascended. WHY did this developer pick this server partner?

[pearl rose]

has anyone had an issue with a controller needing a button pressed mutliple times to register? my controller works great, but my gf controller doesn't want to cooperate. i haven't messed with the steam settings yet, but it's just very odd. buttons aren't registering, and some weird drift. both controllers are xbox controllers.

[astral wharf]

Anyone Else got a Problem when joining a friend it just stays on the loading screen Because ive been stuck on it for a while?

[turbid acorn]

Same issue to me.
When my friend joining to me, it's just endless loading.
when i am connecting to friend i have message "server not found"

[astral wharf]

Yea? But for me even if i host it, it just becomes a endless Loop

[stoic jungle]

Please help! My friend has a dedicated server but my i crash after the loading screen during the tutorial and thent it says incorrect password when trying to rejoin, any ideas??

[twilit lake]

How is it going to fill up without u telling people the details

[bold vessel]

theres no console commands in game curerntly right? only the ones on the server side. If so is there a console command that displays the players currently logged on?

[cerulean heart]

WINDROSE TEAM: Nitrado's only solution to get their broken server to become responsive again is to reinstall and WIPE your save game progress literally day 2 of your launch.

[serene hemlock]

Does hosting a game use the same UPnP process as the dedicated server?

I ask because i've had issues with UPnP before with other games and I'd like to use a dedicated server. Normal hosting worked fine for me and my friend however so I'm wondering if the dedicated server will just.. work as well

[leaden stirrup]

Alright, question abt the monitor Windrose pops upon. Can you change it?

[pallid bough]

How to open prisoner cages?

[serene hemlock]

If you mean freeing your crew, you just talk to them in the cage and tell them to go to your camp. Cages dont open

[lapis pawn]

AFAIK, it's the same.

[pallid bough]

That's exactly what I mean. I freed 3 sailors, but they don't show up at the camp. And I can't use them as workers.

[serene hemlock]

ah yeah these dont work like that. Once you've freed them all you can launch your ship

they arent actual npcs you get to have

[trail jewel]

ok, I tried moving a server to a new PC following these steps and not I get errors:
Copy the entire world folder. Paste it here:
Windrose Dedicated Server\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\Default\RocksDB{GameVersion}\Worlds
Open ServerDescription.json. Set WorldIslandId to your copied folder’s exact name.
Save the file and launch the server.

[lapis pawn]

Should be RocksDB\{GameVersion}

[trail jewel]

yes as per the instructions I have done that

[median perch]

Question? I set the config to make the markers go away for harder explanation and they are still there ... yes I saved and restarted the server. Any ideas or something im missing

[fleet crag]

I cannot get the game to launch at all. I exceed all requirements, have disabled IPv6, have reset my router, uninstalled and reinstalled, verified files, and just about everything I can think of but still can't start the game. What do I need to do?

[lapis niche]

anyone know how to fix being stucked on the loading screen

[cerulean heart]

nitrado has 27 people in front of me to speak with an agent on chat about a broken dedicated server. they even advertise on the nitrado site that hey are the 'preferred partner' for windrose. the wait time to speak to an agent is 2+ hours. a group of 4 of us bought the game literally yesterday. we played enough to not want to lose all progress to a reinstall - literally the only other instruction other than a manual server backup restore. all of the server backups are corrupted. maybe this was a mistake to start so soon... i understand this is early access, but wow.

hey is anyone around? i got a question about saving worlds

Im on pc and im about to have my mother board and cpu swapped. If my PC gets wiped when i reinstall windows how do i save my windrose world? I dont wanna lose it after last nights grind😭

[thorn swan]

Same here I think we just need to wait for an update

Saw someone mention they think its memory leak

Other than that its a phenomanel game

[fading kayak]

if you get stuck on loading screens, it's possible you or the server has to alllow access, look for hidden popups from windows.

[barren ridge]

Is anyone else having 370+ ping in a dedicated server?

[trail jewel]

That was copied directly from the guide, so that's on them, The issue was missing files... had to start a new server

[winter monolith]

You'd want to move your save to a cloud/thumb drive as the save is stored within the C:// - C:\Users\gamz4\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\(series of numbers)\RocksDB\0.10.0\Worlds. You'll want to take the folder in there and place it elsewhere!

[twin marsh]

what are some tips to reduce the amount of gpu power this game uses? I "native" or "performance" scaling better at 1920x1080? Most games I'm able to tune in such a way that I don't get 96C gpu temps but I can't figure this one out.

[cloud frigate]

using dlss or fsr helped me alot

[slim frost]

question is there plans to set up user base locking featurs

so if I place a base and have other crews in my server they can lock their stuffand me mine

Ok, I installed Windrose Dedicated Server on a Different PC than I have Windrose installed on. Both via Steam. Once I had the deidcated server installed on the Server PC, I killed steam and launched the dedicated server manually. When I try and connect via the invite ID on my client PC, it says the server is not found. ?????
I had my brother attempt to connect to it via his PC, and it worked for him fine. So I know it's not a network thing.

anyone have any ideas?

crashign when loading into a server host dedicated server now, was not about an hour ago

[north jacinth]

When trying to join my dedicated server it keep failing to join and saying connection error or incorrect password. Haven’t been able to get into my server since I got it

[steel raptor]

Can someone tell me if I would be able to run the game on this system? And if not, what I would need to be able to?

[still trail]

can't say based off that, only relevant piece of info is the ram.

if windows 11, try pressing start, type system, and screenshot the top right under system > about where it shows graphics card, ram, processor

[steel raptor]

It’s windows 10

This?

[bitter brook]

i set up a dedicated server on nitrado and my friend says the invite code is saying server not found...but im on the server...any idea why its saying server not found for him?

[steel raptor]

@still trail

[still trail]

same thing, yeah. and that's below minimum requirements in everything except the RAM. their steam page:

[oblique haven]

It may open, but it’s going to be pretty awful to play on this system. Besides the ram, everything is significantly lower than minimum requirements listed on steam.

[steel raptor]

So would I need a whole new system? Or are there a few things I can do to fix it?

[oblique haven]

You can certainly upgrade components in it, but truthfully it’s not likely to be worth your time. The system is very outdated in all ways :(

[steel raptor]

Yeah it’s a dinosaur lol thank you

[still trail]

you'd need to replace the processor and graphics card both, I'm afraid.

[oblique haven]

That ram is also very, very slow (DDR3?)

[still trail]

it's an AM3+ socket board so DDR3, yeah

well.

[oblique haven]

You could subscribe to GeForce now and play with that. I’d imagine your graphics card supports h.264 decoding, so it would likely run fairly well

[steel raptor]

None of that even remotely means anything to me 🤣 I’m usually an Xbox girl

[still trail]

just that the memory may be 'enough' at 16gb, but it's going to be slower than modern (ddr4 and ddr5) so that's probably going to struggle too even

honestly whole thing needs replaced, upgrading it def isn't worth it

[sweet vortex]

Has a fix been located for dedicate servers going stale after a while with no one logged in. Server runs great but after an unknown amount of time it must be rebooted for players to join.

[steel raptor]

Yeah I figured as much. Thank you

[oblique haven]

You may have luck with GeForce now in the interim. It’s relatively cheap, at least compared to buying a whole new system, especially if you aren’t trying to only play competitive games

[steel raptor]

I’ll look into that. Thank you!

[prisma token]

alright. I'm at a loss. I have a Win11 VM in proxmox, installed and reinstalled the dedicated server with SteamCMD. Click on the start server batch file and it flashes and nothing. I have 32 gigs of RAM dedicated to the VM, have ran many other dedicated servers on it, 300 gigs free. I got nothing. anyone run into anything like this?

[oblique haven]

I haven’t tried it yet, but some people are having luck with the unofficial docker image from indifferent broccoli (a host that often makes open source contributions).

I so rarely host anything on windows that I’m of no help troubleshooting your setup.

[prisma aurora]

Hey guys, just got the game. Is there a common audio bug where it produces like a constant small buzz sound even with all volumes set to 0?

I never have audio issues in other games so this was weird.

[lavish holly]

We all played last night using that docker image on my 32c 64gb home server with a 5950x. Was flawless for 6 hours.

however today, multiple people progressed quests into different stages etc.. now when we try to get all 8 of us to connect the server will always crash and be brought down when someone tries to connect in sequence. Always a different person, always random.. entire server crashes and the windrose.exe spits out a ton of exceptions/errors and crashes.

Really unfortunate but the game is essentially not at all playable for the 8 of us right now so we're back on D2R for a bit.

[oblique haven]

Sad to hear. Probably not the docker images fault, but rather how the dedicated servers function given how new we are in early access

[prisma token]

I appreciate that. just going through some digging, seems theres some derp with my storage in proxmox. even servers I've hosted before. Event viewer is yelling at me that the drive isn't accessible... but it definitely is. more playing I guess lol

[crystal imp]

welp gonna request a refund. "Server Not Found" error for when I attempt to connect to a friends server- and I have tried all the troubleshooting steps, even the ones reccomneded here.

[zenith summit]

is there any way to know why im in a black screen when im load the game when i alt-tab i can see the game and all but when i click on it black scrren any help would be great

[trim delta]

Hey guys. Im hosting dedicated server. I was playing with my character on it and got disconnected because my internet broke for a moment.

Now when i want to connect to server with my character game automaticaly close to desktop after 5s in loading screen. I can connect to server with new character and my friends can connect too. Only my character crashes game at loading screen. Any idea what can i do?

might be dumb but i set up a ded server now when lauching game to join it asks for password but i just click join and does not say wrong password or anything

[keen saddle]

Fyi for those Netrado users who keeps getting kicked back to the menu screen. I had to reinstall the server... I opend tcp/udp ports, disabled firewalls..ipv6 .. all the suggested things... only reinstalling the server fixed it for me

[drowsy tide]

I have an issue where all my quests and all information on the Discovery/ Adventure tabs is missing. I can still see quests on the map with the exception of the main quest. Anyone else have this issue? Is there a fix?

[rough jewel]

This game needs a security feature, a random just came into my world stole all my valuables and left

this is the third time this has happened

[gray current]

Something is up with how the CPU processes work. Without anyone in the server, it will constantly peg 2 cores but soon as someone loads, it will settle down. Running from a docker from Unraid btw.

[minor otter]

theres an option to set a password

[hollow otter]

ive had some really weird and sudden full fatal errors, and was wondering if anyone had a similar system to mine to maybe help

game runs fine overall, but will suddenly hang and crash while hosting a server (still on the starting island)
one other player in the server, usually my CPU and GPU useage sits around 50% for both, and its taking less than half of my overall RAM, im not sure if its a drivers thing or what but atp I'm desperate for help and it won't stop crashing

CPU: Intel i5-13600K
RAM: 32gb ddr5 (not sure specifics)
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT

according to the R5 Log, the error is: [2026.04.16-02.02.09:786][914]LogD3D12RHI: Error: GPU Crashed or D3D Device Removed
I'm not quite sure why, and was just hoping someone had a fix

-# If relevant, all my settings are set as low as possible, framegen is on (have tried on and off)

[cold ridge]

most recent crash happened on the server when i picked up a quest item called "rough sketch of the island" i believe but that may be unrelated

[hollow fossil]

Hi. Where did you find the R5 log? I had 2 crushes in a row yesterday.

Does anyone know why it wont let me host a game? it just loads me back into the main menu

[vital citrus]

i played yesterday but now when i launch windrose its been on loading screen for 10+ minutes. ive verified integrity of game files

just this forever upon launching the game....

[amber robin]

Unable to join my own server. My brother can join it, but I can’t… it keeps saying server not found

[storm canyon]

Same problem, 3 people playing on my dedicated server but I cant connect "Server Not Found"

[cinder flax]

Requesting help concerning the game server.

Basically less than an hour ago some weird disconnect happened while I was in the middle of combat; could not log back in for 5 or so minutes, and when I did - whole world was reset. All the building I did, all the exploration, waypoints, fast travel points with bells - completely blank map.

Server was setup by my friend, invite code still works and recognizes the setup dedicated server, but the world is just gone.

[timid terrace]

i am stuck in loading screen. game runs great on my laptop, but not on my 8k desktop, yes this pc is fully updated with all software.

integrity has bin checked as well.

[amber robin]

Please let me know if you figure something out

[cinder forum]

anyone else not able to get their nitrado server to spin up? It crashed 2 hours ago and i force restarted it. Ive been stuck in a restart loop for over an hour.

[karmic rapids]

not really a tech-support question but in the demo I'd have 15-20 fps when in a detailed building and about 50-60 fps on average, I'm just wondering before i buy the game if it's still that way when it comes to highly detailed structures?

[storm canyon]

I remembered, From the Demo, This Fixed i for me.. I am on Spectrum, but I remember some other people having the issue.. Go into your router settings, scroll down to advanced and turn off security shield. I turned that off and "instantly" was able to connect

[autumn silo]

i cant join my friends it keeps say error sever not found

[storm canyon]

"Server not found" Try this: Go into your router settings, Advanced, Find "Security shield" Disable it. This let me instantly connect!

[lucid merlin]

i bought the brig design but it is not showing in the shipyard to build it

and the design is not in my inventory

[lucid merlin]

i also had the same issue, i had to go into xfinity app and turn off the advanced security.

[autumn silo]

thank that worked im in

[lucid merlin]

it says in the Provisioner shop that i have one Ship Design: Brig available in my inventory but it is not there.

[loud forge]

I have a dedicated server set up, but when I try to connect, it just loads for a long time and then kicks me back to main menu. Happening to my friend as well. Does anybody know what the problem is?

Server seems t o be fine/healthy. Using the docker image here: https://github.com/indifferentbroccoli/windrose-server-docker

[errant crown]

Why am I constantly being redirected to the main menu? How can I fix this?

My dedicated server is down, any idea whats going on?

[brittle depot]

Same. Idk why it's down.

[digital drift]

If its a rented server, best bet is to contact their team 👀

[rustic hamlet]

I am experiencing the same issue. CPU is 1-2% as soon as someone is on, but when noone is on, it spikes two cores (Also running in docker on Unraid.) I initially set it up in AMP (non-containerized) on Windows VM (8c/16t (1/2) of 9950X3D) and had the exact same issue (25% CPU load, so 2 cores...,) so then I tried in docker on Unraid. So, this issue is not specific to Docker or Unraid, because it happens in Windows VM using AMP too.

[granite ravine]

Hi meow I'm having an issue with my wind rose on steam deck- anyone have a similar problem? I never played the demo I bought the game yesterday, I've downloaded it and I've verified files, pretty much all the fixes I can think of but it's still not letting me get past one part
The loading screen with the map.
It just loops forever and ever and ever and ever and ever

[bronze compass]

got the game for mywife and I and we was playing fine got off and i had loaded her onto my steam deck and opened the game it didnt load so i want to her computer to open it and it now stuck in the screen ,, i have uninstalled it and check the game files and its all good but i cant get it to play anymore ...yes i restarted the computer as well

[tardy void]

can anyone tell me what is happening, the loading screen is stuck

[granite ravine]

So what I've tried so far was someone said it probably has something to do with steam cloud saves so I turned off my steam cloud save in properties then I went and deleted the whole R5 folder.. well that just made the whole game not work and drew up an error so I reinstalled the files to have a clean slate but idk it's still not doing it

The strange thing is my friend is on the same kind of steam deck- the game runs fine for himmm and I don't know why because we have the same hardware and everything wooh this is really a tough nut to crack! Meow.

[tardy void]

it was working perfectly lmao played for like 16 hours straight after work, now all of a sudden it's stuck on the loading screen lol , ive seen people being stuck at loading screen now, but there is no "fix" yet

[granite ravine]

They probably are still trying to figure out -what- the issue is.

The game is super new and I get that they're going to have issues the real question is why is it working for some and not for others hmm

[twilit lake]

Its doing a toy story. When no ones on to watch all the ai are having a party.

Tbh my server does the same. No ones in it atm. 15% total cpu usage but 2 cores at 100%

[indigo lance]

I need help because I genuinely just can't play the game.

I can play for about 5 minutes before it crashes consistently where I'll have to terminate it and restart it. Sometimes it even crashes my entire PC.

Here's everything I've tried so far:

• Changing virtual memory
• Updating GPU driver
• Downgrading GPU driver
• Allowing it through firewall
• -dx12 in launch options
• 60fps cap
• Disabled DLSS
• Verifying files
• Windows update
• Used process lasso
• Disabled full screen optimizations

Nothing works.

My PC runs every game flawlessly but Windrose just does not work for me.

PC specs:

• RTX 5090
• 9800X3D
• 32GB DDR5
• SSD (50% full)

[twilit lake]

Offline mode / online / dedicated server or all the above?

[indigo lance]

Offline, I haven't tried online or dedicated

[twilit lake]

Try connecting to someones server see if that has the same problem.

It wont have to create the world on ur pc then just to rule that out

[edgy sonnet]

I am playing on a 4netplayers dedicated server. This morning i lost all my map progression. Does someone know why this could happen?

[rustic hamlet]

Do you have more than one subfolder in R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\Default\RocksDB\0.10.0\Worlds ?

[edgy sonnet]

That folder is empty

[rustic hamlet]

There should be a folder named the unique ID of the world, which you include in the ServerDescription.json file in R5 folder. Is this SteamCMD, Docker or AMP installation of dedicated server?

[edgy sonnet]

I have no idea really. im not that technical.

[rustic hamlet]

Is it a single player/solo game? If so, the folder would be in %LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles<YourSteamID>\RocksDB<version>\Worlds\

[edgy sonnet]

no its hosted on a dedicated server online

we are 4 players

[rustic hamlet]

In that case, you'll want to look at support forums for the dedicated server provider you are using. They may have save files in another location. The fact that you are in game with a map means that even if the original world files are gone, there should still be a world folder there for the world you are now in.

[edgy sonnet]

Ohh. i should not look for this here: \AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\76561198048704413\RocksDB\0.10.0\Worlds

i should find it on the dedicated server?

Could it be because the server has restarted?

[rustic hamlet]

That would be the location for local saves on single player worlds. But on the dedicated server, there should be a similar folder structure, with a folder named the unique id of the world. It will be random numbers and letters. If there is more than one, the ServerDescriptions file needs to have the correct Unique ID in the WorldIslandID field, so that it loads the correct world. On some hosting platforms (Like AMP) if you don't manually copy the Unique ID into a field in the management console, it will create a new world on each launch. I'm just a regular player like you, and don't know anything about any of the online providers, as I host all my own servers, so I wouldn't be able to answer where that field might be in your providers settings, etc. Would likely want to consult their forums for that.

[rustic hamlet]

If you can find that field (something relating to world ID,) you would copy the folder name of the correct world into that field and restart the server so it launches with the correct world.

[edgy sonnet]

Okay, thanks man. i will give it a shot. Thank you for taking the time and try to help

[rustic hamlet]

Hey, no problem. Gamers gotta stick together. 🙂

[soft osprey]

Has anyone had success moving a server from Nitrado to a local dedicated server?

[edgy sonnet]

I found the folder, after connecting to their files through ftp, but i see only 1 subfolder

[tacit axle]

Hey everyone, just to let you all know:
I skipped some steps on the FAQ, texted my ISP and they whitelisted the port. Check if your port is blocked by your ISP (there are 2 links on the FAQ) and just call your ISP. Takes like 5 minutes and for me it worked immediately (Poland - Orange ISP)

[hollow fossil]

Thank you

[wraith lynx]

I have an issue, i have a dedicacted server on Nitrado.
Im on "How My Sea Adventure Began" mission, on "Head over to the Tortuga market", i took a ship and sailed to the location, as soon as i get near the island, the server restarted by itself, everytime i go near by the island for the quest, the server restarts, now im stuck on a restart loop.

How can i fix it?

[fading mason]

U need to reach out to the server provider. If its restarting like you say then it is most likely crashing for some reason. They can check crash logs but they also may need to reinstall your server

Or it could be other reasons. Do u run any mods on the server??

[wraith lynx]

No mods or custom configs

[fierce grove]

Just came here because I read an article on PC Gamer about people having connectivity issues with dedicated servers, and I might have a solution.

A lot of ISPs in the UK and EU are starting to use CGNAT rather than assigning IPv4 addresses to every customer, in an attempt to save money

If you're put behind CGNAT by your ISP, it breaks all port forwarding

[wraith lynx]

Whenever I sail to a specific area, near Tortuga the blue barrier, the server restarts

Now, I cant even get into the game, because when i login, im already in that area, so the server immediately crashes and restarts

[fierce grove]

My ISP enabled CGNAT about a month ago and it broke my dedicated Valheim and Minecraft servers for my friends, until I figured out what had happened. I had to contact my ISP and demand a static IP address

[fading mason]

Mad I would say u have maybe 2 choices with out seeing what is going on. One u can try and load an auto save if you have them on, u will loose some progress but not all. Or u can reach out to nitro and see if they can solve the issue but they will probably tell you to reinstall the server

The thing is u are saying that its only when u get to an area then the server restarts. That makes me think something is crashing the server when trying to load. Also that blue wall u can't go through u have to sail around it till u find the city and u can park your boat on the docks then walk in

[wraith lynx]

I'm digging into the issue, trying several ways, Nitrado chat support isn't that helpful since its AI, and regarding the blue wall, yeah I didnt try to go through it, I was just sailing near it, the crash is happening mid sea, just close enough to see the wall from a distance

[fading mason]

Nitrado should have daily backups

Also u can restart the server and then load in but tab out and watch the console and see if it spams errors.

[amber oriole]

всем привет, застрял на миссии сбора команды, не освобождаются последние матросы, что делать, у кого тоже самое было?

[twilit lake]

Just googled my friend who cant connect his isp is wildanet.

Wildanet utilizes Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT) on their residential fiber broadband networks, which places multiple customers behind a single public IPv4 address.

Im with EE and have no issues.

EE Home Broadband (fixed-line) typically does not use Carrier Grade NAT (CGNAT), providing dynamic public IP addresses suitable for gaming and port forwarding.

[fierce grove]

I'm with Zzoomm, full fibre to the premises. Everything worked fine until a month ago, then everything broke. My servers weren't visible in Steam public server lists, and my friends couldn't even ping them, let alone connect to them.

After a lot of needless troubleshooting on my end, including router firmware flashing, formatting and reinstalling both server software and underlying OS, I noticed on my router that my WAN IP had changed to 100.xx.xx.xx, which indicates you're behind CGNAT.

I phoned my ISP and they confirmed I had been switched to CGNAT, and that they would take me off it within 48 hours. The day after, everything started working again, and my servers became visible on Steam and to my friends.

[twilit lake]

For windrose as long as your not hosting and inly connecting to someones server not behind cgnat i wonder if a vpn would fix it

[lime lake]

It's Not The Game 💁‍♂️ Check, If Your Cooler, Touch The CPU. ExChange Your TherMal Paste Maybe 🤔 ReSet BIOS,..

[sand vapor]

if you are stuck in a loading screen before menu, here's the solution.....Windows + R paste: %localappdata%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles. Click the long numbered file. delete RocksDB file inside and the other file/page. Uninstall re install game. delete all in that numbered file before reinstall.

[lime lake]

It Could Be Your GPU, If Not CPU 💁‍♂️ Maybe It's Limited, Burned Cable 😅 Or Getting Too Hot 🤷‍♂️

[twilit lake]

Ive noticed the game is very gpu intensive. Not cpu but it doesnt use all cpu cores evenly which could cause hot spots

[lime lake]

BeCause,.. There's 0 Optimization Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤌 #🚧│tech-support message

[twilit lake]

I found the solution to ue5 optimisation issues. Overkill spec components.

Im getting 120fps in windrose with no upscaling and just frame gen with everything on epic.

You just need to rob a bank to be able to afford the parts

Which is in line with the moto of the game….

[lime lake]

With Frame Gen

[twilit lake]

90 with it off

[lime lake]

It Should Be 180 Then 😂

[twilit lake]

Yeh in the demo framge gen lost fps

Its not working properly

Also capped fps

[granite ravine]

Hmm I made a private world and my friend is playing with me- we're crashing every 5 mins. Any work around?

[cinder hawk]

same twin was playing with friend and carsh a total of 10 + time then i just quit

[raw spoke]

Hi,

I'm experiencing connection issues with my dedicated server since today. Everything was working perfectly yesterday with no problems.

Symptoms

• Infinite loading on the main menu when attempting to connect
• Sometimes kicked back to the main menu, other times the game crashes and closes with no error code
• Occasionally the connection establishes 1-2 times but immediately bugs out and sends me back to the main menu

What I've already tried

I tried the general connectivity fixes (disabling IPv6, switching DNS, Cloudflare WARP) — none of them resolved the issue.

I will maybe follow the official dedicated server troubleshooting steps:

1. Verified client and server versions match
2. Updated the game client via Steam
3. Located the WindroseServer folder in the game files
4. Copied its contents to the hosted server location
5. Moved saves from R5\Saved (old server) → R5\Saved (new server)

My question is : i will still have everything i did yesterday? The same issue is gonna comeback again and again?

Nothing has changed on my end since yesterday. Any help would be appreciated!

при этом есть кнопка Quit
не могли бы вы подсказать как это исправить, заранее спасибо.

I found a solution: you need to download Warp. Add this to your instructions instead of messing around with DNS firewalls and other stuff.

[elder needle]

hey all iam running a dedicated server through 4net but all of a sudden today all map progress has been wiped we lost the base and all fast travel points anyone got a idea

[restive quail]

Sounds like something happened either to the config file that changed the world hash, or to the world files themselves. You should contact 4net for support.

[simple lance]

not sure where to ask this, Does anyone know if i can run this on an I7 7700K, 16gb Ram, 1070 8gb gfx ? Ran the Demo no a problem but specs for the game seem much higher?

[restive quail]

Yeah, most of that system is below spec. GPU isn't by a whole lot, so you will probably be ok on low settings.

Make sure cooling is on point too so your CPU can run at higher clocks longer.

[simple lance]

my cpu cooler is a single fan raditor aio water cooled.. might get it over the weekend and give it a shot and hope for the best

[restive quail]

A 120 AIO isn't much. You would be better with a good tower cooler.

[simple lance]

thank you for the advise

[restive quail]

NP.. I speak from experience. I used to have that exact setup. I used an Evo 212 cooler on it.

[simple lance]

can't rmember what brand my aio is, but i know the fan on it is a single 120mm fan. would love to upgrade further, but that will require, new MB, CPU and GPU and of course $'s haha

is Linux support coming later in EA path?

GE=Proton 10-34 and GE-Proton-Latest still give same error 😢

[lavish holly]

And you're positive it's running with that version and doesn't have a manual version override in steam?

Could be other hardware issues too I suppose, different gpu brand/vendor, cpu, etc.

non stop

anytime combat occurs, the game locks up and i die cause frame drops to 0

[still trail]

Windows game: %localappdata%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\(steamID)\RocksDB\0.10.0\Worlds

For a dedicated server, replace %localappdata% with the server install location, and the steamID with Default

[severe lichen]

Hi i'm having a problem connecting to the server my husband created. Whenever I tried to connect, it either jumped back to the menu screen or stayed loading forever. Is there any way to fix this issue?

[still trail]

is it a local server on your own network?

[severe lichen]

I think so??

[still trail]

if so, there's a known issue where local connections aren't working.

for a workaround change P2pProxyAddress from 127.0.0.1 to internal server ip in ServerDescription.json

I had the same issue, that's what got mine working

[severe lichen]

Will I find ServerDescription.json in the software's folder?

[still trail]

yes, wherever he installed the server, it'll be in the R5 folder

[severe lichen]

where can I find the internal server IP? Sorry, we're not very technical.

[still trail]

if it's a windows machine, open a command prompt and type ipconfig. it'll be the ipv4 address, usually starts with 192.169

[hasty void]

will the servers connect through lan? I am able to connect to the server neither of my buddies seem to be able to find it though when inputting the server code

[still trail]

no, you can't connect over a lan, that's part of why there's an issue connecting to the same network

it goes over the internet even if you're on the same network

[severe lichen]

thank you! will try this right away

[hasty void]

alright so its a issue on their end? if I can join then

[still trail]

yeah, the workaround above makes it work though

[hasty void]

well they are on different internets so lan wont work for them unless I use a network mesh like radmin but that will be a last resort probably

[still trail]

different public address? then the above isn't the issue.

[hasty void]

I was trying to figure out basically if I was able to connect because I am on the same network as the server that is all

[still trail]

ah. inside the same network, you can with that fix, yes.

[severe lichen]

hii I tried your method, but it didn't work for me 🙁 Do you have other advice? >.<

[lapis pawn]

I really wish they would have ditched this whole "invite code" thing and just gone with traditional direct IP networking and a server list... Not that I've had any problems, mind you.

[tight rose]

hey guys and Devs, did anyone found a solution for the mouse sense when using fire weapons?

[still trail]

the only other thing I've done is disable ipv6 (devs said that can cause issues)

[still trail]

that and the random ports and upnp lol

[severe lichen]

i see! we'll try that later, thanks for the tip!

[lapis pawn]

Right, going back to traditional socket-based connections would ditch all that.

[lunar python]

Where is the shaders folder for this game? so i can empty them to see if it fixes crashes

[wanton saddle]

@lunar python you can use ddu to clear shader cache

[mortal arch]

ony one started to get game crazhing on this day? yester day evrything worked fine but thisa day after the last day windowns update it started craszhin constantly no idia if its some game update or jsut the microslop update from yesterday braking this game

[timid terrace]

so disabling steam clouds is not helping still stuck in loading screen.

[lunar python]

send me a link to this "ddu" you speak of

oh i found it

[rich fossil]

hi all, is it normal that especially see battle is very laggy / rubber band ? i play on NITRADO server

[kind snow]

Does anyone know if on a dedicated server if you can raise the max amount of fast travel bells? 10 shared amongst 4-5 people doesnt seem enough.

[lapis pawn]

Haven't seen an option in the two config files. Hoping that one day we'll get more options like that.

[bronze compass]

I followed the instructions posted here in this thread and I was able to get it to work. I had disabled cloud saving and I went in and deleted the R5 folder and the cloud saved one next to it launch the game and it brought me back to the character screen. My wife will have to recreate a character but that's my problem not yours. Thank you very much... For the people that put in information that helped....

[gritty pagoda]

Send a bug report and now i need help. I finished a mission and the reward fell here. Now what do i do ?

I had full inv.

[bleak arrow]

anyone got Optimization for a 4060 rx cause im running less than 30 frames and today its lagging like crazy

nm i see there is new support driver for the game ill try that first

[serene dome]

Anyone know the ports required to host via docker

[young pewter]

at what point does the main quest initiate?

[jolly charm]

Hi, I can't join my friend in the game. I'm stuck on the loading screen. I can hear the sound of waves, etc., but I'm still stuck. Does anyone have a solution?

[young pewter]

when am i supposed to see the doctor appear to talk to me after the scene on the ship

[granite bluff]

yo, my friend get insta kicked everytime he join my host. Anyone got a fix?

[tall hull]

Hello, I'm having a problem. I can't play with my friend. Every time he tries to join me, it just gets stuck in an infinite loading screen. If anyone has a solution, please let me know.

[livid pagoda]

Still a bit confusing but I opened 3478 and that worked for external hosting. To connect to it internally I had to set the docker instance in host mode and set the p2p_proxy_address in the .env file to the IP of the server.

[serene dome]

Ty

[prime coral]

2 days no updated still cant play with friends solid

[lapis pawn]

Seems like some of the same networking issues that weren't fully resolved in the demo. They're using some sort of unusual (to me, anyway) UPnP, random ports, master server mediated connection system using the invite codes rather than a standard socket. If it works, it eliminates the need for port forwarding. If it doesn't work, it seems it's extrememly hard to troubleshoot, as it doesn't behave consistently.

[mint aspen]

just paid for a server to play with my friends and i cannot connect to the server after trying quite literally everything. can anyone help? using nitrado

[storm canyon]

What error or message

[lapis pawn]

Make a post in the support forum. Nitrado is supposed to help in there.

[mint aspen]

Password incorrect or connection error. Even tho I know I am using the correct set password by me.

[amber robin]

THANK YOU!!!!!! That did it! If there is a place to put this, I would suggest we pin this solution for people using a spectrum router. Looks like I"m not the only one with the exact same issue and solution.

[storm canyon]

The response to the message the one below just said is my only contribution

Make sure the advanced security in the router is off. Its blocking the game and has been ssince the demo

I remembered, From the Demo, This Fixed i for me.. I am on Spectrum, but I remember some other people having the issue.. Go into your router settings, scroll down to advanced and turn off security shield. I turned that off and "instantly" was able to connect

[quick badger]

Ive set p2p_proxy_address and docker network to host, and now its crashing with "Cant start server on any port" but not than connecting 🤣

Port are free btw

[storm canyon]

Also applies to Xfinity routers

[crimson vine]

I had to reset my fire wall to factory settings to get in my friends dedicated server. Hope this helps.

[molten flicker]

что за хуйня, играл в демку всё замечательно, купил игру запускаю - сервер не стартует, переустановил в принципе не стартует игра!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[keen spoke]

I keep getting the message "DirectX 12 is not supported on your system. Try running without the -dx12 or -d3d12 command line argument.'

i play in steam can any one help me

[molten flicker]

ещё и видюху 5070 на 100% грузит

[keen spoke]

adm onl???

[gaunt path]

Is there a fix for all the stuttering yet? besides turning off frame-gen?

[undone owl]

Just gotta make sure all your systems are up to date including graphics card and all the other goidies

[molten flicker]

вы майнер закинули или что?

[fast bridge]

That script checks these files in order:

runtime/R5/ServerDescription.json
runtime/ServerDescription.json
config/ServerDescription.json

If you have already launched the server before making those changes, you may need to change a file under runtime

I know others have posted their docker images here, we all probably have a variety of helpful tips, ill link mine just to see if it can help anyone

https://github.com/biers04/windrose_docker

[digital drift]

Does the server actually boot if you give it a WorldDescription pre-boot? 🤔 in my testing this broke a lot (Though we also made our own IslandId which couldve upset it)

[molten flicker]

бля крч рефанд и всем друзьям которым советовал буду отговаривать

[digital drift]

asking re: https://github.com/biers04/windrose_docker/blob/main/scripts/init-instance.sh - we did something similar to test out having users just specify a World Name to load their save - but the server tool just crashes if you dont let it generate its data

[fast bridge]

You may be correct, I didn't really think to test that separately. I need to go look at my notes now to see if I changed it before or after launching

[low lark]

My group has been encountering this problem on a dedicated server and I believe it has to do with them utilizing the "P2P" relay system for Unreal Engine. While my server is in Los Angeles, my client does not directly connect to that IP address. Instead, it connects to an IP in Ohio (AWS us-east-2 region) which acts as a relay/proxy for all client traffic. My latency directly to the server is 10-12ms but my latency to this relay is at least 40ms. I believe this is what is causing my client to report 100+ ping times and results in the bad lag/rubber banding that my group is encountering the more people who are active on the server.

[digital drift]

If it works, lemme know xd def would be curious to see

[fast bridge]

I've hosted hundreds of dedicated servers, they all have their own little weird twists to them lol

[digital drift]

True that xd

[urban ivy]

anyone else have all their rep reset. it was after going back to my game, after playin on my buds server?

[keen spoke]

hi

are u onl

[molten flicker]

вы знаете русский какого чёрта 0 реакции везде:?

[keen spoke]

am on steam

@pallid hedge help me pls

[brave elbow]

A buddy and me had this exact issue, if your battles at sea are laggy, we fixed it by going to task manager while you are in the game, finding Windrose, rightclicking it, and putting priority to high.

Only problem is, it does not stay on high when you close the game, so you have to put the priority as high everytime you launch the game.

Lmk if this helps.

[fast bridge]

Ok yes, I encountered the same issue, particularly with world description. Some values were just straight overwritten, but changing world description caused issues launching it

[pallid hedge]

if so put '-dx11' in launch properties should force dx11

[fast bridge]

The official guidance and what I saw in practice both point to:
first boot the server once
let Windrose create its runtime files/world
stop it
edit configs
start it again

So they even said it and my reading comprehension is just trash apparently

[uncut linden]

did something change today? yesterday i could play normal without any problems and today game wont work anymore it starts and then i get an infinite Loading... no crash or anything else but it wont stop and one time it get past the loading screen but then i just was in he main menu but all buttons where missing except the Exit button i already deleted the savefolder and did the Cloud thing im also on Linux any idea what that could be??? also no Nvidia Gpu

[deft summit]

Will there ever be an open-world version that will have 100-1000 players or more? Like an open world with a giant map?

[lapis pawn]

Extremely unlikely.

[fading kayak]

they would literally have to re-write the game to do all that.

[hollow minnow]

hey guys. we got a problem with a dedicated server on 4netplayers.
the game keeps making new worlds for us and wont let us load into our safed map. some1 else got this problem or knows a fix?

[keen spoke]

I try but not work

@pallid hedge

[graceful flint]

Quick question cus im not as smart as id like to be when it comes to graphic cards. Will a GeForce gtx 1050 run windrose?

[storm canyon]

Same

[lapis pawn]

Run? Probably. Run well? Unlikely.

[serene meteor]

hey guys, i have a quick questions id like to ask and im sorry if it was asked 1000 times before.
I invited my friend to my coop worl and he kept recieving unexpected error.
are there any requierments one needs to fulfill before being able to play coop?

[frozen thicket]

Hello, I just got a Nitro server to play with my friends. I imported my save and it works, but I noticed some input lag. Could this be due to the imported save, or am I the only one experiencing this? I should mention that I increased my RAM to 2000.

[graceful flint]

Hey i can deal with low graphics if i get to play an awesome game with my friends

[storm canyon]

Nah it seems to be common right now, I am sure in time they will work it out

[lapis pawn]

Little reason not to try it. If it's unplayable, you can refund it on steam with less than 4 hours of play time. You missed the free demo, unfortunately.

[polar mural]

@ashen fog @sly ocean We sometimes experience issues with customer servers that crash, after which their world appears to be damaged and the game creates a new save. Luckily, we provide backups. However, we would also like to offer live backups for our customers so we can create backups while the server is still running.

This can sometimes be tricky, as we need to know when the server is writing to the save file and when it is not. Do you know when the server writes the savegame? Is it done at a fixed interval? Can we force a save and create a backup afterwards?

Do you also receive reports of gameservers randomly crashing and corrupting the savegame?

Could you give us some information about the upcoming patch tomorrow? Will there be fixes for the server, and if so, do we need to change or prepare anything?

You could also DM me the information.

[graceful flint]

That was my thought process too worst case I just refund it and wait till I get a better rig

[lapis pawn]

I'm technically below their spec with my rx6700xt, but it runs fine on mostly medium settings. Pretty stable 60fps at 1080p.

[uncut linden]

welp did a reinstall and now my save is gone nice right now im thinking about a refund im pissed af...

[graceful flint]

Ooooo thats encouraging

[lapis pawn]

There is a bit of a difference. I'm not far below spec. A 1050? Well....

[brave idol]

Getting condtant trying to load game and then this keeps re-opening up cycle

[brisk solar]

you gotta fix server problem. its been 2 days. we cant play coop. we uninstalled and installed the game 2 times. ddoesnt work

I can join my server but my friend cant join mine or even his. it keeps loading for 2-3 minutes then goes back to main menu

[twilit lake]

It will be his ISP probably

tell him to install this and run this and it should work https://one.one.one.one/

[brisk solar]

so he needs a VPN?

[twilit lake]

little more than a VPN DNS change as well

[brisk solar]

ok will try

thank you

[twilit lake]

its to do with some ISP's using CGNAT instead of individual IPv4 addresses

[brisk solar]

we have different ISP so it makes sense

[twilit lake]

its generally the newer smaller ones using CGNAT

[brisk solar]

mine work fine

[lapis pawn]

Why does this not surprise me...

Everything should work with with both IPv4 & IPv6 nowadays, but that just doesn't seem to be the case often enough.

[twilit lake]

CGNAT means the ISP can asssign the same IP address to like 10+ houses

makes things like port forwarding not work

[lapis pawn]

Right, and with IPv6, they can have their own specific address so you can have effective port forwarding again.

[twilit lake]

probably costs them more though to reserver the ipv6 addresses

[lapis pawn]

No idea what an ISP might or might not charge for something they should just be doing.

[fast bridge]

There are ways to get around the CGNAT issues, like setting up a public relay or tunnel service

[twilit lake]

links above

[fast bridge]

I used to use Cloudflares free services for tunnels through. No longer have those issues though

[pallid hedge]

ah mb then if dx12 doesnt work then dx11 should, whats your graphics card and OS?

[keen spoke]

can u fix that 🙂

[pallid hedge]

have you tried updating graphic drivers?

[keen spoke]

yes

it lasted

[pallid hedge]

are you on windows?

[keen spoke]

yes

[pallid hedge]

are you on a laptop perchance? can you send me a pic of your system info? just your computer specs CPU, ram, GPU, ETC
