i am currently having an issue on my server that i cant equip weapons or tools. i can in my solo map but not my server. reported the bug but didnt know if there is a way to fix it.

[pure magnet]

we tried steam invites and stuff but i cant join otherwise my game crashes and the server crashes

[hard wedge]

As a matter of interest: why does docker need an address other than 127.0.0.1? (I run my server locally on another pc, so not sure what docker does other.)

[fast bridge]

You dont need docker if you run on Windows

[hard wedge]

can you take or place stuff from storage boxes?

[delicate trail]

yes

i can build and demolish as well

[pure magnet]

did any one experience this sht?

[hard wedge]

yeah I know, maybe I didn't phrase right. Why does docker need an address other than 127.0.0.1?
Docker must have an internal IP and should also "know" what 127.0.0.1 means (=localhost). Just curious 🙂

[fast bridge]

Yea, so docker networking is finnicky. So if you are running docker, what I found for me to join on my own network, had to be the servers internal IP. In Linux, I just run ip a to find that. For windows, its just an ipconfig

[hard wedge]

Then I don't have any idea. We encountered (and could reproduce) an occurence where interaction with loot containers and other stuff wasn't possible anymore if I clicked into the server-window on the server, thus obiously halting it. Right-clicking would continue it.

[finite oracle]

They're in Stockholm while I'm in Blekinge. I have 83.251.107.17 — so why should I set it to 127.0.0.1? It sounds strange, like P2P.

[fast bridge]

Someone typed up a long post about why docker images have issues with the networking in here at some point

[hard wedge]

I understand - what I don't understand is why docker doesn't seem to understand "localhost". That should be standard. Well, always something new in IT 🙂

[hard wedge]

Because Windrose server works like that: #🚧│tech-support message
They don't connect directly to your server, they contact the devs handshake-server first. (plainly put)

[hard wedge]

Thx! Will search for that at some point, just cause I'm interested in the matter.

[fast bridge]

P2pProxyAddress is basically the address Windrose tells its P2P/ICE layer to use for the server-side socket path. 0.0.0.0 is fine as a bind wildcard in many apps, but for Windrose it looks like clients sometimes need a concrete reachable host address instead of a wildcard, especially for local/self-connect paths.

So I usualyl bind linux on 0.0.0.0 but thats usualyl web servers. Windows is also more likely to require 127.0.0.1, its been too long since i really read about it to remember what the reasons are, but there are reasons lol

[untold yoke]

why is my lamp always empty when i start up my game?

[foggy gust]

I have a HDR Capable Display and HDR activated on Windows but the HDR Option is not allowing me to turn it on. Anybody know why?

[delicate trail]

was testing what else i can do or cant do. cant fire cannons as well. not sure what happened it all worked last night

[supple pebble]

Could be game issue

[lost matrix]

do you have a link to AMP?

[supple pebble]

Google amp cubecoders

[hard wedge]

Have you updated the server after todays patch?

[supple pebble]

https://cubecoders.com/

[hard wedge]

Just as a matter of interest, have you tried "localhost" instead of internal IP?

[midnight pike]

Not sure if this is the place to ask but is there a way to increase spawn rate for the copper/iron veins or a more definitive timeline for how they "regrow" like is it in game days that cause them to replenish? or a Specific time

[fast bridge]

I have not. But I dont believe that would work with a docker image

[shrewd trout]

does multiplayer work yet?

[hard wedge]

No setting for that.
Respawn rates: 6h for ore and stuff, 2h for plants like bananas, 2h for mobs, no respawn for trees/bushes.
Number not self-confirmed.

[nova sparrow]

Anyone else have issues with not beeing able to host a server? trying to invite my friend but she gets sent streight back to the menu everytime

[bold gorge]

yeap

[hard wedge]

Was asking because I found that in a thread in dockers forums, specifically stating that if having issues with 127.0.0.1 or local ip

[bold gorge]

my friend has this problem

Once it worked, and he connected, but most of the time he is sent back straight to main menu

[vernal abyss]

Can I somehow change the information about the open drawings in the game files?

[fast bridge]

can definitely try that, report back if it works lol

[supple pebble]

Why not try 0.0.0.0?

[nova sparrow]

this sucks -.-

[fast bridge]

This was the exact issue I had connecting to my local server. It means its completely unreachable to them. Is it Windows or Linux? Wheres the host?

[hard wedge]

I believe multiplayer runs mostly stable; my impression is that the people having problems are a loud (which is ok!) but still minority.
I've setup dedicated server on three different devices now and have hosted on my pc for dozens of hours and very many sessions without any problems.

[fast bridge]

Once it works, it works well for sure

[pure magnet]

well idk, aftert the update i literally cant join my friends game lol

[hard wedge]

Only if you want; I'd perfectly understand if you leave it alone if it works, never change a running system and so... 🙂
Was simply out of (partly professional) interest 🙂

[nova sparrow]

lol im just trying to host a game through their Host A Game option.. nothing fancy.. should be simple?

[lost matrix]

Weird I just started a new server on docker, but I didn't forward any ports. Still my friend was able to connect 😮

[fast bridge]

ah so the co-op hosting in game?

[hard wedge]

Should be, yes!
Where are u based at? They seem to have (I guess: routing) problems with some ISPs, maybe because the location of their servers (rumour has it it's based in russia, but I don't know if that's true).

[supple pebble]

Yes because eos connection is being used

[nova sparrow]

yes?

[lost matrix]

is that good enough? Felt like it took a little while to connect.

but game is working quite well

[supple pebble]

it is, i host a server and despite the port being open, the server does not have a socket to the port, but everyone is still being able to connect and play

[hexed iris]

Hey, need help. Every time a specific friend tries to join my server, the server crashes.

[delicate trail]

sever doesnt say it needs updated (that i can see) the server is thro gportal services. i have restarted server.

[nova sparrow]

Im based in Denmark.. all this seems very complicated compared to most other games xD

[bold gorge]

oh, my friend from Denmark also cannot join

[supple pebble]

vpn

[nova sparrow]

my god xD just make a working game tbh

[fast bridge]

i have hosted hundreds of games, I can tell you this is much easier than many. Ark Survival (pick your version) is by far the most annoying one to deal with

[supple pebble]

haha, you never tried farming simulator ig

[fast bridge]

that i have not

[empty yew]

Hey, does anyone know after the latest patch for the dedicated server if I lost my world if I replaced the old save file with the new updated save file, but I kept my " worlds " folder with my world on it backed up on my desktop. I tried to restore previous version of the folder, but it tells me that there is no restore point for that folder....

[wise spade]

I still cannot get on the dedicated server my friend got for use it just says server not found. do I have to wait for him to be on or something to get on it?

[nova sparrow]

Get a degree in computer sience from what i hear in here xD

[wise spade]

lol oh no

[nova sparrow]

This is way too excessive for me.. refund incoming..

[fast bridge]

lol screen sharing is always easier to help resolve issues

but I work a full time job, and im just here helping people during dumb meetings

[odd flax]

Is there a good solution for the endless loading screen? I reinstalled the game, updated every program on my Pc and checked if all files were correct. Yesterday everything was fine

[hard wedge]

I'd contact them then.
From the official dedicated server guide on the dev's website:
Important: Make sure your dedicated server version always matches the game client version. If the versions differ, players may experience connection issues, unexpected behavior, or be unable to join the server at all. In some cases, version mismatches can also lead to subtle bugs that are difficult to diagnose. For this reason, we strongly recommend updating your server regularly, especially after game patches or hotfixes — to ensure full compatibility and a stable gameplay experience.

[wise spade]

lol it is just an alpha, they were pretty clear about that. cant really be mad when there is problems and you knowingly bought and alpha

[lofty hull]

I have the same issue, i assume its since a specific update? 3 days ago we played together.
Now i seem to have a memory leak, it doesnt matter if i join first or my mate joins first

Once our 2nd player joins, the ram shoots up from 4.5gb to 20gb, before crashing

[nova sparrow]

This has been a issue from the start of testing, its been mentioned for months from what i can read..

[fast bridge]

self hosted?

[distant delta]

Oioi mates. I can´t change the name of my ship to anything that contains an A or a D because the menue then shifts back and forth instead of writing the letter, Arrrr

[wise spade]

no my friend is paying for the server we were on it last night then all this stuff happened and they have not been on since it all happened so IDK if they have to update the server or something?

[fast bridge]

yea there was an update this morning

[hard wedge]

And they are actively working on it and very openly communicating in doing so...

[molten idol]

The update borked everything up

[nova sparrow]

lovely

[wise spade]

lol I will never understand why someone buys an alpha and then is mad when there are some flaws and want a refund.

[hard wedge]

Yes, servers should be updated before troubleshooting problems which might have disappeared through updating 🙂

[novel granite]

First time? Jks

[fast bridge]

lol i thnk you can be mad, but you cant be surprised

[hard wedge]

Yeah, it is. Have seen devs which don't act like that, and that sucks. Having devs that communicate is actualy very lovely 🙂

[wise spade]

so I have to wait until my friend is on to update it?

[hard wedge]

That's what I would do, yes. If it's self hosted. Don't know how updates work if hosted with gportal/nitrado/etc

[wise spade]

ok sounds good thank you

[finite oracle]

Amd problem rx 7900xtx

[dreamy socket]

you can retain it if you keep the serverdescription.json, and the world db file

[hard wedge]

Try using older driver: 25.9.1 works rockstable for me, I also have RX 7900 XTX.
I had massive problems with UE5 engine with the newest amd driver.
Tell windows not to update your drivers, deinstall clean with DDU and do a fresh reinstall of older driver, should work just fine.

[pseudo night]

I hope this is the right place I am using gportal for hosting and trying to turn off shared quests, every time I set it as false it changes back to true. I have messaged gportal but was hoping someone here might have an idea

[dreamy socket]

are you shutting down the server before the change? otherwise you can FTP to the file and see if you can force change it, but if it still reverts, it's a default load by the host provider

[ruby chasm]

hi. I have a problem logging into the game. I was playing with my friend at a computer club. due to technical reasons, I had to move to another location and because of this, I did not have time to save cloud data. when I logged into steam on another computer, I had a sync conflict with my saves. I tried to download the most recent save (04/17/2026 16.03), but I failed. then I decided to install the previous day's saves (04/16/26 17.54), it was installed, but when I started the game, nothing happens for 20 minutes. the download screen just turns and that's it, neither reinstalling the game nor deleting the profile in the files helps, the same problem. help please

[delicate trail]

just wanted to say thank you i figured out the issue. my version didn't update. had to restart my steam in order for it to say it needed an update. works now.

[empty yew]

The issue being I overwrited all of the files with the updated files, but saved the world folder. Can't I just update the new server.json file to make sure the island IDs are correct?

[torpid quest]

Is there no way to back up a save file while the server is running? It seems like I have to stop the server first. If I try to restore a backup from while the game was running it causes an error and crash loop.

[pseudo night]

I have it shut down while making the changes, and not sure about ftp

[dreamy socket]

you can, i just copy the file for sanity sake 😂

[torpid quest]

Like if the server is running and I make a copy of the RocksDB folder, that copy seems to be useless because the server will crash if I try to restore it.

[dreamy socket]

most host providers willl give you SFTP/FTP access can use like filezilla.

[torpid quest]

I have to stop the server first before copying the RocksDB folder?

[dreamy socket]

yes server needs to be stopped before any changes to worlds, they have a lock file when running.

[empty yew]

Yeah, I screwed up and I should of copied the patch files over to a new folder then copied the old server files to the new one....

[young thistle]

is there anyone that can help me figure out why my games running like poop i run every other game just fine no issue my specs are a 4070 super i9 12900k ddr4 32 gb

[dreamy socket]

I transferred our 0.10, to the hotfix set today if you need help and stilll have both sets I can assist

[torpid quest]

No, not trying to change the world - just trying to make a backup of it while the server is running

even if I delete the lock file it still errors on launch if I use that backup

[dreamy socket]

to copy it has to be down.

[empty yew]

Yeah... Just at work atm, and I'm going to have to look at it later today around 4pm EST. Ill send you a friend request.

[torpid quest]

Ah, there's no way around that? What if the server crashes, does RocksDB not repair itself?

[dreamy socket]

i haven't seen a corruption yet, I run my own dedicated setup, multiple times I've seen the cmd crash and everything it current.

[torpid quest]

Interesting.

[dreamy socket]

could be an array of things, drivers, drive health, background tasks.

[torpid quest]

That's different from every other game, tbh. Making backups of a live running server is kind of important.

[pseudo night]

Sorry very new to all that, didn't think it would be this hard to just turn off shared quests

[torpid quest]

But I guess we'll make do

Guess there's no way to roll back if something goes wrong

[dreamy socket]

depends on the host providers and their infrastructure

[young thistle]

well it fustrating me bc i run every other game at max settings and still get 300-500 fps this game is stutering fps drop to 5 laging audio cutting out and ik its not my pc i just dont know whats wrong i ran it day 1 with no issues

[cerulean heart]

is the game offline? nitrado server not found

[dreamy socket]

audio cutting sounds like a driver, what nvidia driver are you running? did you do the panel update?

[dreamy socket]

no games need to be updated there was a hotfix early am

[young thistle]

im on the latest nvidia update but whats a panal update

are you able to join a vc an help me figure it out

[lost matrix]

Any guide on how to move save from one server to another? I Copied the world folder Windrose\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\Default\RocksDB\0.10.0\Worlds\UNIQUEID to the new server.
Then I edited the ServerDescription.json and updated WorldIslandId with my UNIQUEID.

I am missing something, I'm sure.

[torpid quest]

That should be it, afaik.

[lost matrix]

when I started the server it just created a new world 😛

Maybe I also need to copy over the PersistentServerId. Will try

Yeah, that did the trick. Had to bring along the PersistentServerId from the original server too

[bold niche]

Hello. After purchasing the windrose bundle pack, how do you access the music ? Thank you

Does the hotfix automatically apply to dedicated server or am I supposed to do something in order to update to latest release?

server admin has to update the version

[trail hare]

Im the server admin, but my steam is not updating for some reason

[lost matrix]

there was a new release a few hours ago

steamcmd?

[trail hare]

how do i do that

[lost matrix]

How did you install the server?

or did you just click host from within the game to start it?

[trail hare]

I only use steam, and SaveSync app to share the server with friends (im not the owner)

[celest marsh]

Hi i need support for dedicated server but can't post any thread

[trail hare]

i checked the versions ingame, mine is still on the old one

while my friend has the updated version, so he cant join me lol

[dreamy salmon]

I see it in a search for a description again in the Windrose site but when I try to go there its replaced with the FAQ which doesn't mention it at all.

[trail hare]

I restarted steam and everything, mine just wont update

[eternal creek]

Hi all, any way to alert the discord mods about this? I can't post a feedback topic because it appears to be full.

[dreamy salmon]

Thank you

[fast bridge]

Try right clicking the game > Properties, > Updates, and change it to allow windrose to be prioritized

[trail hare]

i did that yeah

let me see if it changed anything

[lost matrix]

No problem. But again, I just installed docker and didn't have to do any of that hocus pocus. Is your docker host on another computer?

[trail hare]

lol it did

gg

[dreamy salmon]

Dedicated docker hoster on a hypervisor.

[lost matrix]

ok that may be why it just works oob here

[urban blaze]

Do you get instantly disconnected from your own localhost? Anyone?

[glad karma]

whats the updated current version?

Does anyone know if the devs are going to enable the R5P2P network? The servers have been down because of it since this morning.

[lost matrix]

Which servers? Mine are working just fine

really ?

[glad karma]

how do i force an update for the nitrado server? when i use the ai help tool it tells me its current on updates

[lost matrix]

yep

[glad karma]

0.10.0.1.6-02cb3254 but this is the version

[dreamy salmon]

@lost matrix The fix worked!

[lost matrix]

https://server.nitrado.net/usa/faqs/show/690/a-server-update-is-required

Don't think you can??

I could be wrong. Never used nitrado before

[graceful fiber]

Amazing, my friend told me: but they haven't started/patched the R5P2P + ICE + TURN + STUN network. So it's down for the moment.

[lost matrix]

I don't know anything about all those protocols, but I have two servers running. One I forwarded ports to and the other I didn't. One running Windows and one running Linux+Docker.
Both work fine for me and my pretend friends.

So I'm pretty sure servers in general work

[scenic rover]

I am having an infinite loading screen issue when i launch the game, nothing that i tried worked. I can't play

[woven delta]

Been trying all day to get my nitrado server running since the update, Are there any fixes yet

[cunning python]

weapons and tools have issues loading.
https://www.twitch.tv/jaquesmeehoff/clip/FriendlyHungryLardTTours-4sjAKxT0dTaTFv9T

[lost matrix]

I suspect you will have to wait for Nitrado to find out they want to patch it.

[polar breach]

ours are working fine after the update, it's something on nitrados back end causing it

they'll have it fixed pretty fast I assume

[karmic pollen]

I'm having a strange issue where when I updated it, reset the server progress. But when I restore from the backup, it reverts back to the previous version. I'm hosting on an AMP server.

[woven delta]

Used nitrado for a few years now, I know they are not perfect but waiting this long is crazy

[polar breach]

wonder what they got going on, only issue we faced on the update was map getting changed

had to manually go back in and change it back to old map

[stuck pond]

So how does support requests work here? I've been over at Nitrado's DC irritating their tech support, but I might need assistance from here too..... can't seem to load my save folder back to my otherwise healthy host without is starting to restart loop again.

[polar breach]

I had to alter the worldID in the serverdescription.json as well as another place on our game panel but not sure how your host sets theirs up

nitrado has a starting issue I think atm that wont let servers boot

[stuck pond]

I did both like Windrose FAQ described, transfer with WinSCP set to binary both ways. The new host Nitrado gave me easily booted up until I loaded the savefile to it 🙁

[urban tangle]

How do I identify what the server's version is?

[polar breach]

not sure, sounds like its tied to nitrado specificly

[stuck pond]

depends on your host, Nitrado's is on the dashboard

[exotic bobcat]

Same

[urban tangle]

I don't use Nitrado

[polar breach]

check logs file then maybe

[stuck pond]

I dunno, the host was working with a new world. I suspect the patch did something to the save file

Well that's why I wanna ask someone from here

[exotic bobcat]

I think too

[polar breach]

well no cause I updated my server and I'm still using my old save from 2 days ago?

[scenic rover]

Anyone also have infinite loading screen issue when launching the game?

[exotic bobcat]

Maybe the patch broke the old save ???

[exotic bobcat]

Ok but you do not uses nitrado, right ?

[polar breach]

correct

it could be something they have altering files/data

[stuck pond]

Most probably it did, could be through how it was pushed from Nitrado. Then again, I don't know what to look for in the savefiles from the app side

[polar breach]

u have the world file in a .zip ?

[urban tangle]

yea I see it now, it's up to date, nice. Thank you!

[lost matrix]

If you are moving your save from one server to another you will need to copy the entire save folder:
R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/0.10.0/Worlds/{UNIQUE ID}/

Then also copy over this file:
/R5/ServerDescription.json

It has two settings that are important to transfer over.
PersistentServerId
WorldIslandId (your unique save folder name)

[polar breach]

^

[stuck pond]

No, I did it the same way as Ark and Palworld, copied the numeric id world folder from the server, reinstalled then ut it back and edited world id in the 2 files

[lost matrix]

If you do not copy those two settings over correctly it will just start a new map

[polar breach]

id say come to the host I use but Idk how they are about shilling stuff so don't wana anger any mods xd

[stuck pond]

XD

the problem is I have 9 friends with me with 20h+ progress each

[polar breach]

give me the ServerDescription.json file and the .zip of the world from the original host I bet I can get it working :}

[stuck pond]

hm sure, where should I share it

[polar breach]

send to dms or put on a google drive and send me link

[stuck pond]

will do

[polar breach]

might have to do the google drive or another upload site for the .zip i think new limits on discord are like 50mb

[exotic bobcat]

same

[median edge]

Why is my server lagging so badly since the new update?

[stuck pond]

yeah imma do it hold on

[polar breach]

I upped your fish spawn rate by 1000

[lost matrix]

I see no difference in lag on my servers after the patch

could be your host having issues

[arctic phoenix]

any fix for nitrado server lags?

[sweet heath]

I am having the lag issues, particularly on ships. The speed skips around like crazy and you cant turn. Its quite literally like driving a powerpoint

[polar breach]

sounds like cpu struggling

Windrose is pretty cpu intensive so if your plan has a low cpu allotment or its on older hardware that might happen

[rough fulcrum]

anyone else having problems joining friends session? Im just getting a loading screen and after a few min im getting kicked back to main menu. Both have approved the game exe and steam exe in windows firewall

[median edge]

im assuming we are in the same boat, no pun intended

[wheat bolt]

same here

[sweet heath]

its a hosted server, but yeah I got you.

[lost matrix]

Some people with certain ISP's have reported problems and they have apparrently solved it by using VPN solutions like ProtonVPN

[polar breach]

yeah same applies for both self hosted and dedi hosted, we aren't seeing any lag on our boats after the update so far

but we put it on a 7950x3d just to be sure it'd have the cpu power

[stuck pond]

Exitlag worked for MMOs as well

[sweet heath]

Yeah I understand that, but Its not the hosts fault when it worked fine for 30 hours of gameplay until this update.

[polar breach]

depends I guess how you look at it, if you're being put on older hardware cpu's from a decade or older then its definitely the hosts fault for not upgrading or using better equipment.

[lost matrix]

That depends on the host. Some hosters move workloads between physical computers, and they may vary specwise. Unless you know the hosters internal setup it's hard to know for sure.

[hollow edge]

im having a big problem, i tried to take the server save and overrite my personal save and it destroyed my game i do not know how to recover it and it either i have to start completely over or the game gets stuck on the map loading screen. i am so unbelievably frustrated.

[woven delta]

Got 3 friends who joined me on my dedicated nitrado server the otherday, But since this morning we are all thinking about playing something else, The game will simply not start on nitrado

[lost matrix]

https://playwindrose.com/dedicated-server-guide/#wsg-faq-transfer

Personally I would recommend copying the entire serverdescription.json file too

[stuck pond]

persistent server ID could be tricky afaik

[lost matrix]

I don't know for sure. I've only moved a save from one server to another, not from a client to a server or back

[lost matrix]

There are other hosting providers out there that you can try

[woven delta]

There are but ive spent my money, hoping theres a n answer here

[hollow edge]

sop ive done everything and the cloud save just keep downloading the old stuff and if i undo the cloud the game is still stuck at the map laoding screen. ihave done every conceivable thing. and it still doesnt work.

im not starting over.

[lost matrix]

I'm pretty sure Nitrado will get around to it. But reading a little online, I suspect nitrado is mostly for very patient customers 😛

[hollow edge]

if i cant play the game

[upper rain]

Hello. Quick question: I'm trying to host a dedicated server on a vm, and I need to know which ports to forward.

[lost matrix]

none

[stuck pond]

some did a rollback to the last backup, let it patch and it worked. Then some stayed in a server restart loop so no idea

I've been haunting the Nitrado DC like a bad poltergeist all day

[upper rain]

I'm having some issues when trying to connect to the server. The server starts, but when I try to connect to it, I get some ConnectionError on the server console.

The server is running inside a docker container

[silent nacelle]

Can someone explain why the server I'm on resets everything daily? Buildings, materials, map, everything is gone every day. Only thing kept is personal character progress

[lost matrix]

https://playwindrose.com/dedicated-server-guide/#wsg-docker-lan
This is what you want if you cannot connect from your internal network but your pretend friends from the internet can.

[lost matrix]

Sounds like a problem with the ServerDescription.json file. You should check how many worlds you have here:
R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/0.10.0/Worlds/

I would guess you have one folder for each time this happened.

Or I know nothing, which could also be the case.

[silent nacelle]

Thanks I'll check it out. My friend hosts a server for us and each day we lose everything and as you can imagine it's very frustrating 😂

Building my 5th house at this point

[manic sand]

Hello, i will try it here firstly, hopefully its proper channel.

So, due to the issues with hosting our dedicated server, some of the players simply started playing in their SP words while we were solving literal moutain of issues with hosting.

Now when it seeminly all runs how it should, when those players trying to join - they simply crash the server.

I have figured out their files might got randomly corrupted and thats why i am here, is there any way (other than delete all + disable steam cloud) to repair their saves?

[lost matrix]

Does it crash if they create a new character and join with that?

the only solution is to get new friends 😉

[manic sand]

Haven't tried yet, several crashes until we figured out its this issue was troublesome enough.

Also i am firstly trying to look up for way in which they would not need to start over

[manic sand]

its not even friends, its just our community members, players, whatever 😄

[lost matrix]

That is certainly one strategy. Mine is usually trying first to find the path of least resistance and seeing if there is a way to get around it

that way you can know if it's their profile or not

[pulsar turtle]

Hi sorry dont know if anyone else has had this problem but ive been playing for about 8 hrs and i tried to join my friend just after playing last night my character is gone and when i join in with the character its like half invisible and i cant access anything like menu/ seeint hot bar just wondering if there is a fix so i could get my character back ?

[manic sand]

havent thought of that, apart from that downtime earlier today due to update we didnt really encountered any issues since we finally managed to work it out

so random crashes exactly 2 minutes after that certain player join with 100% reproduction rate basically yelled "save corruption"

other thing could be that hes just too far ahead and server with disabled coop setting isnt able to compehend his file but that sounds unlikely ?

[lost matrix]

I have thought the same. But I do not know. Worth to ask him how far he's gotten

[manic sand]

hes after first boss in beginnin of that zone while rest of us just chilling with shetty ships not bothering about advancing in questline at all, lol

[cerulean ginkgo]

guys there is literally no information anywhere on how do i unlock wooden walls like there was in the demo, noone answers in general chat pls just spare me already someone...

[lost matrix]

What if he hosts a game, can you join him without it crashing?

[manic sand]

well we do have our own machine, its not self hosted on personal pc

[lost matrix]

he can probably just host his singleplayer game from within the game to test it

I have seen others complain about the same issue, but haven't seen any solution to it yet.

[manic sand]

gold coins, you get them from NPCs, also those same NPCs you get gold coins from sell engrams onto different kind of structures

[urban ferry]

Trying to update my server via steam cmd and the update wont go through. Tried several times and still is only running on version 0.10.0 giving me a game version mismatch error

[cerulean ginkgo]

omg thank you win the lottery good person!!!

[terse kite]

Doee anyone else have a lot of issues with the mouse panning / viewing and moving with the mouse freezes up random and especially in menus ??

[manic sand]

keep in mind each faction have differend kinds of engrams/blueprints and same goes for structures, dont know which ones you want but there is a lot

[median edge]

The constant stuttering on Nitrado is getting super annoying.

[umbral geyser]

Complain there, they have nothing to do with them on the technical side of things

[lost matrix]

what is your steamcmd update command?

[urban ferry]

app_update 4129620 validate

I even backup up my save and tried to redownload the server completely and still only gave me the old version

[cerulean ginkgo]

i want the wooden ones like the stairs or the foundation, currently i have only 3 factions so far i can buy stuff from om gona have a look which one sells what i want

[lost matrix]

Did you check if you have a server running in the background already?

I run it like this in a batch file:
f:\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir f:\windrose +login anonymous +app_update 4129620 +quit

[urban ferry]

I shut it down completely, even checked in task manager to see if it was running.

[cerulean pulsar]

any one ahaving issues joining or hosting a game?

[steady jacinth]

My friend is stuck at loading screen, tried deleting the r5 save at appdata yet when we tried again still stuck on joining. Tried joining his game and I always go back to main menu at some point. Does this have any fix?

[cerulean pulsar]

i get this error when trying to join and hsoting is loding and then go back to menu

[lost matrix]

There is a known issue for certain players using certain ISP's. You might want to try to connect to a VPN service just to see if that helps with connection issues.
ProtonVPN is free

[upper rain]

@lost matrix What do I do if the IPAddress of the container it's empty? I cannot apply any fix without the ip address of the container

[polar breach]

hehe i migrated a nitrado save and fixed the loop of death restarting

https://tenor.com/view/call-me-big-papa-sloth-gif-18373823

[lost matrix]

docker inspect windrose | grep IP

is that how you do it?

[woeful hearth]

Anyone having issues exporting your save from Nitrado to another server host? Seems like they are missing a good chunk of files. (Sorry if this has been asked. I typed "Nitrado" in the search and so many messages about Nitrado lol)

[lost matrix]

Sooo... It's a nitrado issue?

[polar breach]

its a issue with how nitrado operates their docker/backend system

its conflicting with a kernal32.dll

[lost matrix]

are they not using broccoli?

[polar breach]

idk i use banana

[polar mural]

Nitrado uses real Windows Server 2019

[upper rain]

this are the results:

"IPAMConfig": null,
"IPAddress": "",
"IPPrefixLen": 0,
"IPv6Gateway": "",
"GlobalIPv6Address": "",
"GlobalIPv6PrefixLen": 0

[lost matrix]

how did you start the container?

[polar mural]

They have an Agent or some software thats Starts the Servers on real Windows Server 2019 Machines. Others use Proton or wine inside Docker. You can see this from the Logs.

[glad bone]

Hello guys, how my friend can share the world that we play together. I will create the lobby instead of him. Where is the save of world?

[upper rain]

docker compose up

[lost matrix]

docker compose up -d?

[polar mural]

In nitrado Logs real Windows is shown in wine logs you See wine

[polar breach]

I believe the local storage is steam cloud so you'd have to download from there or disable that and then find the local directory

[polar breach]

that's why they're having issues then

wine works fine

[upper rain]

with and without -d. Same result eitherway.

[glad bone]

We will try to download from stam cloud. However where is the folder direction?

[lost matrix]

https://playwindrose.com/dedicated-server-guide/#wsg-faq-saves

[polar breach]

im not sure i'd have to look around I havn't messed with any local stuff only server stuff i been messing with

[glad bone]

thx

[lost matrix]

are you using indifferentbroccoli docker?

[upper rain]

Yes

[azure roost]

any one else having issue with dedicated servers? everything was fine but after the hotfix to my server people cant join and if they do after less then a minute they get kicked and its like server keep restarting it self

[lost matrix]

I followed the first half of this video, stopped watching after docker desktop because I am a cli wannabe
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTmyNHTQ0AA

after that I just git cloned, modified the .env.example and saved it to .env - then I ran the docker compose command.

[polar breach]

if you're using nitrado this is a issue they're having currently. I have a fix if you can swap to wine but from what I heard they're using windows base system so that wont work for you

[wind pawn]

we're a group of 4 who want to play the game together. my friend hosted a server and the other 2 friends joined but i cant, i get infinite loading. firewall doesnt seem to block it and 1 of the friends is playing on the same router as me so its not a router thing. please help

[azure roost]

uising gtx

[polar breach]

that a host?

[stark crest]

is there a docker windrose for linux ?

[azure roost]

yeah GTX gaming

[polar breach]

do you have access to files tab or something?

[lost matrix]

https://github.com/indifferentbroccoli/windrose-server-docker

[polar breach]

do you see a .wine folder?

[azure roost]

sec

[stark crest]

damn, why did i make one too (

[lost matrix]

This is interesting.
Does it work if your friend doesn't join the server?
Could you compare your DNS server settings if there is any difference on your computer?

[weak dome]

So there's a duplicate of the small boat you initially get in my world, how can I remove it?

[upper rain]

Installed docker on a ubuntu 24.04 using the terminal. I have another docker container for other game, and that one works.

[lost matrix]

Because you are awesome

wish I knew how to do that

[slim frost]

is there any admin or dev prefered available

[azure roost]

where will it actually sit?

[uncut coral]

does anyone know why my friend sometimes cant join a gportal server they still in loadingscreen and then get kicked out of the game

[lost matrix]

I am an admin in many places, but this is not one 🙂

[upper rain]

This one, starts the server, but I cannot connect to the server. I keep getting disconnected. Both server and client are on the same network, server running on a vm on a different computer

[polar breach]

should just be in the main directory if there is one, might be on a different system or have those folders hidden to you

[azure roost]

i got R5 and backup

[upper hull]

An unexpected error occured message appears when i search for a game, also can't launch my own online game.

[wind pawn]

no, we tried to play seperately and still couldnt load into the hosted game. ill look into dns settings although i aint got a clue about that stuff ngl

[polar breach]

after I get done helping this other guy migrate we could test yours if you wana

[azure roost]

ok

[lost matrix]

start cmd from start menu and type ipconfig /all

[upper hull]

same issue here, did you solve yours?

[lost matrix]

Is your container getting an IP now?

[wind pawn]

thanks, will do, what am i looking for ?

[upper rain]

still no IP for the container

[lost matrix]

dns server. Compare it and see if it is different on your computers

[wind pawn]

we faced a similar problem on PUBG, we couldnt connect to the same game

[vast hound]

How can i fix this

[lost matrix]

I know certain games have and have had issues with multiple players joining a single server from the same house.
Not sure if this is an issue with this game.
But one of you could try to connect to a VPN and see if that fixes it. ProtonVPN is free.

[solemn canyon]

hi support posts are full and cannot post anything

nvm,

[jovial marsh]

Singleplayer. i5-12500H, 16GB DDR4 RAM, Nvidia RTX 4060 8GB laptop version. Medium settings - 30 FPS, even with DLSS on (weirdly enough doesn't boost FPS according to Steam FPS overlay). Have to enable frame generation to get 60. Any time going in/out UI is small stutter. From what I saw bottleneck **seems **to be GPU? 3d load in task manager is 100%. 4.6GB VRAM used and around 3GB RAM.
I understand that this is early access. I understand that it's laptop and not the current high-end.
Still, any hints on improving overall performance?
And any way to submit this to devs? Maybe I can provide additional technical info/logs/debugging so they could use this to eventually optimize rendering?

[honest glacier]

Has anyone had a problem with transferring a file from nitrado to their pc and it just booting you back to main menu when you try to launch it?

[upper rain]

@lost matrix The docker container for this game server does not get and IP address

[atomic flax]

I was reading a guide on the dedicated servers saying you couldn't choose what ports the game uses. I have a ubiquiti firewall in my home network set up. How should I route the traffic so my friends can hit the dedicated server I am spinning up?

[polar breach]

give me the original ServerDescription.json file, and your save from the R5 directory.

[upper rain]

@lost matrix Just checked on another container, and that one has an IP address

[lost matrix]

framegen is not happy in menus.

[polar breach]

welp one user migrated and fixed whos next lmao

[lost matrix]

So older docker containers get IP, but newer ones don't?
Try to set up a new one and see if that gets anything?
Example docker run -dp 80:80 docker/getting-started

[calm ferry]

Hello, I played solo and had no problems.
However, when I tried to play with my friend, I got stuck. I can't join or host a game; I'm stuck on the loading screen. Does anyone know what to do?

[lost matrix]

@honest glacier

[upper rain]

removed the .env and docker-compose.yml files and created them again

this time, the container got an IP

[umbral geyser]

Can't make a bug rapport max posts reached @sly ocean

[polar breach]

dipper is going from host to local pc, not sure if I can help him too much there. I havn't messed with any local hosting yet of servers just via dockers and dedi host

[shell birch]

Anyone have any idea why the Nitrado server game would have an issue with weapons not drawing. They work fine local, but when you go on server they are unavailable.

[lost matrix]

Maybe there was an error in one of the files

[upper rain]

@lost matrix I'll try the fix the in link you sent me earlier, and I'll let you know if I manage to make it work

[lost matrix]

Great. Someone else reported back it worked for them

[jovial marsh]

Yeah seems to. Any idea why setting DLSS or FSR to Performance vs Quality gives no fps boost?

[upper rain]

@lost matrix maybe. recreated the filed from the terminal this time

[umbral geyser]

@thick notch , Can't make a bug rapport max posts reached. Any way you could resolve this ?

[lost matrix]

No idea. I feel like the FPS is probably something that needs work.
Personally I run everything on low, except view distance to get max fps. Probably underkill

[wind pawn]

we have different IPv4s and DNS Servers. is that important?

[maiden crater]

can anyone help with this? Im on this quest, and im ON the unsinkable, and the quest will neither update nor complete. its the second time ive boarded it

[lost matrix]

ipv4 has to be different, because you have different computers. They must be unique.

DNS servers however, could be the reason you are seeing issues. I am curios what you have.
I recommend using 1.1.1.1 / 8.8.8.8

[lost matrix]

https://klipy.com/gifs/hacker-typing-2

[shell birch]

Any idea why the game would prevent drawing weapons while hosted?

[steady jacinth]

my friend and i have the same dns 8.8.8.8 yet one of us is still stuck at loading screen when joining

[stark crest]

just sharing it here, even though i'm sure no one will use it https://github.com/AlexBraguta/windrose-server

[wind pawn]

mine has alot of 8s as well

hers doesnt for what it's worth

[lost matrix]

Your getting started guide is EXACTLY what I needed a few hours ago when I learnt docker

[lost matrix]

it was worth a shot to at least eliminate the possibility your ISP was messing with your DNS lookups. Lots of ISP's do that to prevent stuff they don't like

[fast bridge]

I couldnt use anonymous login when I was setting up my docker, does this work now? I have similar instructions on github, but always something to learn from others
✅ No Steam account needed — server files download anonymously via SteamCMD

[sly barn]

Whenever I restart/start my windrose server it keeps generating a new world instead of the one I had use intially, what could be the cause?

[stark crest]

yeah, anonymous login works now

[lost matrix]

if you use the right appid it works anonymous (4129620)

[stark crest]

docker is awesome

[wind pawn]

my roommate and the host of the game share a DNS server, should i change to that?

[lost matrix]

Yeah, I just need to learn how to make containers from scratch now 🙂

[lost matrix]

It does not hurt to try. Likely you have a statically configured DNS server and theirs are dynamic. You could also change to dynamic and get the same they have.
I would not set theirs statically unless your computer always stays in that house.

[umbral flicker]

When I open the map it's says fast travel is available but I can't do anything

[shell birch]

Can someone else join the game and see if it's a me issue vs a Nitrado issue

[lost matrix]

Got kicked out to main menu

dinner time gl guys

[atomic flax]

Whats the best way to set the game network traffic up with the server behind a firewall? want to make sure my friends can connect

[west plover]

does anyone know how to upragde the shipwright station to lvl 2? ive already completed i need a bigger boat. i have the sawhorse, the weapons workbench, the wharf, and everything

[upper rain]

@lost matrix I can now connect to the server. Thanks a lot for the help. Have a nice weekend

[rough wren]

Has anyone set up a dedicated server behind a pfsense instace? I can't connect to the my server and I'm not sure if its a UPnP issue or something else.

[haughty peak]

I tried. Entered credentials and it kicked me back to main menu

[shell birch]

That's great

It's got to be Nitrado. Is there a better system to host?

[scarlet laurel]

Wait, was the game crashes caused by steam cloud corrupting the saves, unable to get into the saves after leaving once? Because that's what happened to my game >>

But the weird thing is, I tried to make a new game, and it still crashed anyways.

I've only able to play it once, and never again after that >>

[still musk]

Hello, i am experiencing the seemingly frequent issue: i launch the game, get past the unreal engine logo, then i get permanently stuck on the loading screen. I have tried disabling the cloud saves, deleting the r5 folder in appdata, but nothing works. Please help

[patent galleon]

has anyone nailed down a fix for the dedicated server same network issue?

[lost matrix]

Docker?

[azure roost]

it works once you run on admin it has somethijng to do with windows it seems

[patent galleon]

i have it running on a linux server not my main PC. i can connect if im not on the same network like a mobile hotspot or if i connect to my guest network

[lost matrix]

Search for messages from me. There is a link to the faq which fixes this

[patent galleon]

i havnt found that link yet but i do have all my network traffic going through PiHole. could that be an issue? i have the DNS configured in my Archer AX55 router

[wraith kettle]

Hi! Is it true that a native Linux Dedicated Server is something Windrose team is working on?

[lost matrix]

If your linux host uses docker and people online can use it. You cannot. Your linux is not the same computer you join from. Everything then fits the link faq

[lost matrix]

It is rumored. You can run docker on linux, wine or a vm with win10 for example.

[rare badger]

eternal loading to friends server
help pls

[wraith kettle]

rumor... damn,ok. Thanks.

[haughty peak]

My group is also using Nitrado and can't get in today. (which is why I'm in here lol)

[lost matrix]

Docker works well though

[shell birch]

Well I lost my world anyhow so guess it doesn't matter

[woven delta]

Ever since this morning patch i havnt managed to get my nitrado dedicated server back online..constant restarting..

[lost matrix]

Do you have a backup?

[shell birch]

Not really. It's ok. I'm just frustrated that I can't even play on Nitrado.

[glass kindle]

Whenever I:
Host a Game ->I Select the Server-> Confirm -> Confirm
A loading screen appear and after few seconds it return me to the mean menu

[lost matrix]

Can you not download it from nitrado?

[shell birch]

I did the reinstall option

so no. It's just gone.

[lost matrix]

Force update game in steam i think may help

And there is option to let things update prioritized. Someone posted a screenshot from steam above

[south bramble]

Hello,

I am experiencing a problem. Today, twice already my pc crashed when I was playing the game. First, my screens just turned black, still could hear my friend, still could speak to him. Restarted pc. Thought it's drivers problem, so I updated them.

About 20 minutes later my pc restarted itself during the game saying "no problems detected on your pc" or something like that. Anybody experienced a smilar issue?

Never had this problem before.

[shell birch]

How do you force update.

[lost matrix]

Think you right click the gqme and properties or something

[shell birch]

didn't see an option to force update.

[glass kindle]

there is no such a thing called force update in game properties -_-

[lost matrix]

Yes immediate

And dont pause

[sly ocean]

working on cleaning solved threads in #1493348541177794601 and #1493364524705775657 – sorry if you weren't able to create athread here previously, guys

should be good soon

[glass kindle]

but there is force refund instead

[ivory grotto]

Any news up FG being fixed since it will randomly decide to stop working in one way or another when you’re exiting menus, etc?

[patent galleon]

the only link i see in the chat from you is for the docker install. was it in a different channel by chance?

[vast swan]

when you got a dedicated server,
and the tip to restore your old map is to move your saved files into a new world.
what am i missing as it will force a new world everytime i try and launch it?
but the world ids doesn't even match up on our old map so i can't figure out what i should even put them as is.

[lost matrix]

Copy the original json file too

[wraith kettle]

Need fixed ports for servers.

[lost matrix]

It has world id and uniqur server id

[vast swan]

will try

[polar breach]

Yeah you need the server description.json

[graceful fiber]

Any news on this? We're all stuck with this.

[wraith kettle]

i have no clue, just saying the obvious need I face atm

[azure roost]

nvm it again keeps on going on restart loops

[graceful fiber]

Even our admin, who's a developer, has been tearing his hair out over this since 2 PM 🤣

[wraith kettle]

Can't have games instances opening random ports without control on it
Too wild, this force to think specific rules to prevent collisions, its overcomplicating everything

[lost matrix]

Why?

[graceful fiber]

As I told you previously, most of the servers are down due to network problems

[sudden arrow]

is there a potential memory leak for hosted servers? mine is constantly booting us out at roughly the same time. i am hosting a few other games on the same server (in my house) and they are fine, but this game specifically just has like server crashes

[wraith kettle]

Feels like the only optimal way to run this game server for now, is to have a dedicated IP for every instance

[cursive flicker]

its nbd man just have windrose open 22 what could possibly go wrong

[pale jackal]

I wish the game allowed you to just expose a port and connect by IP. I submitted a feedback request, but not holding my breath.

[fringe temple]

Playing since yesterday and I can't load into my hosted game anymore... I get the loading screen, but it never actually loads into the world and it either goes back to main menu or crashes completely to desktop.

[wraith kettle]

industry standards

[fast bridge]

sometimes verify integrity of game files will help force an update

[pale jackal]

?? I host many other game dedicated servers. It's just this game that seems to not let you keep it simple.

[wraith kettle]

thats what i meant ^^

[lost matrix]

I am running multiple with one public ip.

[wraith kettle]

with port allocation?

[wind dome]

Anyone know the ports for the server. We dont want to use UPnP

[lost matrix]

Dont need to

[wraith kettle]

😄

[lost matrix]

Dont need upnp eithrr

[polar breach]

i just use a docker and assign it a game port and a query port

[pale jackal]

You can't connect by IP so it doesn't matter if you know the ports. They only let you use the NAT punch through method

[ocean pelican]

yeah we're doing the same thing works fine, game just will select ports

[polar breach]

doesnt really matter what port

[sudden arrow]

so what you are saying is every time i start / restart my server it is just randomly taking a port hoping its a good one (from my ISP)

[lost matrix]

Seems to me its using some sort of hocus pocus reverse proxy solution

[pale jackal]

It's using STUN protocol to punch through your NAT

[wind dome]

The docker and egg both dont specify required ports. They say to let UPnP assign. Randomlly assigning doesnt work through cloudfare and pteradactyl

[round raven]

anyone else lagging?

[lost matrix]

Pretty sure I dont have upnp enabled here. I gotta double check

[ocean pelican]

also no upnp and running on my k8s homelab

[safe hornet]

Port is 7777-7778 default

Several can change them but that’s what I have seen and working ok after forwarding

[wind dome]

So are you using a docker/egg with DNS through cloudfare. I dont want to give out my own IP. If ~I cant assign ports like my 5 other servers. Is bad

[lost matrix]

yeah I don't even have upnp feature installed, so this STUN thing is STUNNING

Dont need DNS because clients can't connect directly using DNS

[final vortex]

anyone seen this on Nitrado servers?

[lost matrix]

Everyone who uses nitrado has seen this

[strange pawn]

i had to restart my server

[final vortex]

is there a way to solve it? im not the one hosting it..

[lost matrix]

Did that fix the nitrado version mismatch?

[strange pawn]

it did and i was in playing but i just got kicked out and now i cant get back in

[cursive flicker]

dedicated servers dont auto update and nitrado hasn't manually updated theirs hahah

[lost matrix]

But maybe they auto update when you restart them?

[tight summit]

does anyone know how often a dedicated server do a world save?

[strange pawn]

mines back up now

[lost matrix]

By itself?

[indigo blade]

Anyone able to host a game? mine loads for about 10 seconds and boots me back to main menu

[ocean pelican]

not if you're relying on steamcmd cli for your hosting, I had the same The client and server versions do not match error and it's because steam on my pc auto updated and my server uses steamcmd but since the game is gated you can't download it without logging in. I ended up copying my local game files to my server for the update

[strange pawn]

no i restated it

[sudden arrow]

I dunno why, but it seems like my server crash is basically tied into people trying to join

[lost matrix]

steamcmd can download the server anonymously

[sudden arrow]

1. i start it
2. i log in (fine)
3. m friend log in (server insta crash)

[lost matrix]

certain player profiles can crash servers. Last instance it was mentioned one player had finished the boss in act 1 on a different server, but when he joined the server again where nobody had done that he crashed the server after ~2 minutes.

[indigo blade]

i cant join my mates game either, whats going on?

[ocean pelican]

i'll try again but couldnt do an anonymous pull last time

[lost matrix]

use the correct appid 4129620

[sudden arrow]

so we are a group of 6 and 2 of the people are currently crashing the server

[lost matrix]

likely if they create a new character they will stop crashing the server.
A hypothesis about different game progression levels would be nice to have confirmed. Can you fetch some info about how far they have gotten?

[vagrant tiger]

Anyone having issues with steamcmd not updating to build 3373? My steamcmd even after a full uninstall is only going to version 3173

[brave vortex]

no respawn copper in caves anymore !? i think yesterday it would refresh the resourses inside !?

[vagrant tiger]

polyc respawn works, just takes a while

[lost matrix]

takes a long long time for respawns. We had it happen after checking 24 hours later

[sudden arrow]

we are all at the same main quest, one have done some side quests and the other is the least progressed of us all

but we are all at the same main story

[lost matrix]

so nothing special that the two crashers have in common

maybe they could try to empty their inventory and see. Don't think anyone knows what causes these crashes

[vagrant tiger]

what's your max player count at?

[sudden arrow]

i have player count set to 10 but we are about 7 playing

i dont think they have anything common other than we 1 have done more side quests and the other one have done the same as me

[vagrant tiger]

Niyar can you join them if they host?

[sudden arrow]

we dont host

we have a server in my house

[lost matrix]

And can they join other servers without crashing them?

[vagrant tiger]

are there multiple people on the same IP?

[lost matrix]

and does the server crash if only one of the crashers join? meaning the server is empty beforehand

[sudden arrow]

its me and my wife and the server, (she crashes the server) and my friend from the outside also does

[vagrant tiger]

is she connecting with external or internal ip?

[sudden arrow]

there is no real internal ip to conenct to windrose (as like runescape or enshrouded)

[hot fox]

Lol. Still can't play 12 hrs later. Neato

[pale pine]

guys, what's this error?

[normal needle]

If you get this figured out can you let me know, I'm getting the same and the wait for support is taking ages

[regal sun]

I cant enter tha game, inf loadscreen)

[sudden arrow]

let me test this you mean one of the two who is crashing it or other people?

[pale pine]

My mate is trying to join my private server and that error is all he gets. When he tries to host a server it throws him back to the main menu

[lost matrix]

server empty, no players. Your wife, the server abuser, joins alone. Does it crash?

[indigo blade]

i am getting the same

can literally only play solo

[sturdy quarry]

i can only play solo stuck on loading screen coop

[lost matrix]

So it doesn't matter if anyone else is online. She can crash it

Can she crash my server? Join this id: crashme

[digital patio]

Anyone knows how to force SteamCMD to upgrade to the latest build, my dedicated Windows server updates, but only has version 0.10.0.1.6-02cb3254

[vagrant tiger]

Bahumbaba if you find out please let me know, keeps giving me 3173 for the build id

[lost matrix]

f:\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir f:\windrose +login anonymous +app_update 4129620 +quit

[digital patio]

ill try that in a jiffy

[vagrant tiger]

doesn't work for me sadly

"buildid" "22823173"

[fast bridge]

f:\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe < replace where your steamcmd is installed

f:\windrose < replace where windrose is installed

[vagrant tiger]

are you all just copy/pasting the google ai stuff?

[lost matrix]

is google ai using my stuff now?

[sweet vortex]

Server was visable but i was stuck on the loading screen for 5 minutes with no activity in the server cmd window.
Anyone know why ctrl+z on the server cmd window would allow the server to begin functioning again without requiring a reboot?

[pure jackal]

how do i join a server?

so i dont have to play solo

[fast bridge]

get a join code for a server

[lost matrix]

if you accidentally click and mark text in the console it pauses the server.

[fast bridge]

there are server promotions/looking for a party if you are looking

[pure jackal]

in witch chat

[sweet vortex]

oh this in interesting

[atomic breach]

is there a coop crash fix? One friend can join but when the other is joining, my lobby crashes

[lost matrix]

Server hasn't crashed yet. Do you want to send me a copy of your savegame + json so I can try hosting it here and see if it crashes?

[pale pine]

I have a similar problem. my mate has joined my srvr but my other mate can't. He's using O2 ISP so I don't understand why. We've checked his firewall settings too and all seems to be in order

[digital patio]

Didn't seem to work, says it's already updated and stuck at the previous version 🤔

[lost matrix]

Multiple people report this same issue. Certain people can crash certain servers and it is repeatable. Dont yet know what causes it

[ivory grotto]

Any news up FG being fixed since it will randomly decide to stop working in one way or another when you’re exiting menus, etc?

[atomic breach]

fr? wtf

[lost matrix]

Mine did that for about an hour after the patch was released. It took quite some time before it showed up. But that's many hours ago.

[sudden arrow]

looking into the logs a bit more it seems rather unrelated to players and more to using Wine since i run a linux based server

[hot fox]

Having the same issue

[lost matrix]

I run linux + docker on mine

[sudden arrow]

i dunno if i can paste the entire error code in here that i get

[lost matrix]

What is your server setup?

[atomic breach]

i am the host

[lost matrix]

through ingame menu?

[atomic breach]

ye

[lost matrix]

how much ram?

[atomic breach]

64gb

[craggy lichen]

Where is the file to adjust various game values in the self-built server

[atomic breach]

2024 price :D

50% ram haha

[lost matrix]

I got 128 in 2024 too 😛

ddr4 though, so a bit sad

[atomic breach]

ddr5 mine

[lost matrix]

ddr5 was cheaper than ddr4 when I bought mine

[vagrant tiger]

https://steamdb.info/depot/4129621/ anyone know how to change the depot for the install on steamcmd? lol

[atomic breach]

so my friend who crashes my lobby did a pc restart, windows update, graphic update and game update, and she can finally join

also my dns is 8.8.8.8/8.4.4.8

[lost matrix]

is that a broken unupdated depot?

[vagrant tiger]

that's the newest, just doing app_update doesn't point to the newest

[lost matrix]

I think it might default to a regional source, which may be out of date

[vagrant tiger]

ooh interesting, wondering if it's a US based issue then?

[lost matrix]

could try to delete appcache/appinfo.vdf

[fast bridge]

FYI you can download the dedicated server via steam and just replace your version if steamcmd is not working

little bit more effort, transferring the save files and stuff over but thats how I would handle it

[vagrant tiger]

can not, no steam on the server :p

that's why steamcmd is needed

[fast bridge]

I originally downloaded and used WinSCP to transfer it to my server

Before I added steamCMD

[vagrant tiger]

rather /wrists tbh lol

[lost matrix]

could try to use steamcmd to download to a different folder

see if that fetches the latest

[vagrant tiger]

i'm going to see if i can force the new depot

[sudden arrow]

right now it just seems to be a scheduling error in the Wine code what docker do you use? a self built one or?

[lost matrix]

broccoli

[sudden arrow]

same as me then

[lost matrix]

just clone it to a new folder see if that works.

[vagrant tiger]

tried that too

[lost matrix]

git clone that is

[sudden arrow]

so we both run linux + docker compose and broccoli, only difference is that you got twice the ram than me, i got 64

[lost matrix]

I'm on Arch, btw

I am hosting the docker on my gaming rig

[sudden arrow]

right now it seems like its when the 3rd person log in it crash

ah yeah i got an extra PC so i am running linux on that

[digital patio]

It seems that if i change the folder and force it to download to a new folder, it downloads the latest version

[vagrant tiger]

wild

[lost matrix]

maybe run as admin makes a difference

[undone scroll]

What kind of crap is this with Steam? I had the game installed a week ago and now I'm supposed to pay for it again?

[elfin python]

guys, to fix the issue with update, first you need to login to Steam client (SteamCMD) on your server, once login is sucessful, it will add your data in to cache, and then try to update app, but not as annoymous, but as an exsisting user, the one you logged in

[vagrant tiger]

@elfin python not the problem, problem is a depot issue with steamcmd i think, can't run a steam client on most dedicated servers homie

[elfin python]

ofc you can login, there is a command to install it and login, on steam guide

no need visible user interface

[indigo blade]

i cant even get into the main menu now, jsut sits loading

[reef olive]

hi all my friend just brought a dedicated server he joins perfect but wen i try joining i get past ship tutorial then infinate load screen and ansers or help please

[lost matrix]

I got the update this morning after a few attempts and waiting about 1 hour. No steamcmd login

[elfin python]

good to you then 🙂 but seems like not everyone could for some reason, and what is the reason i have no idea, but have found a solution which works to me, so shared it maybe someone will try this way and fix it as i did

[lone dagger]

I cant click on my server to play its grey out I can see it in recent played but cant click on it.. also when I try to use the code it said server not found anyone know how to fix this?

[trail plover]

I'm getting client and server don't match. Steam shows no update. and I just updated my server, but no change.

[digital patio]

Tried logging in, didnt work for me. In the end i saved the "world" folder and ServerDescription.json, removed the server folder and forced a new download, restored the files and it's running again. Sure hope it's not a regular exercise at every update 😁

[lone dagger]

if I click on the restart server does that help?

[pale pine]

guys, that problem we had with the connection my mate had, it sorted WOHOOO. That faq document with the network settings helped

we had to change the DNS and only then it started to work

[copper grotto]

Hello 🙂 I'm thinking of buying the game, however, I suffer from PTSD from gun- and explosion-sounds. Is there a way to replace the soundfiles or mod it so it uses different sounds (e.g. Star Wars blaster sounds)?

[patent galleon]

where can one find this FAQ lol

[pale pine]

https://playwindrose.com/faq/

[mental meteor]

to my frend game is crashing when using old character in old world saves if he starts playing new game with old character or old world with new character it works is ther a way how to fix it

[lone dagger]

"Make sure your client and server versions match. To update your server:"

how I do that? my Server Version

0.10.0.1.6-02cb3254

[charred scroll]

Is anyone else getting really bad stuttering on the new patch? (singleplayer) Like it runs fine for 30s then it starts stuttering for a good while and doesn't want to recover, the audio starts cutting out and becomes delayed, then it goes back to running fine for a bit and the cycle repeats. It was running fine before the patch, It doesn't seem to matter if I put the graphics on high or low.

I got the latest driver patch and it got even worse.

An actual problem. I have the same problem

To the chap who helped me figure out if my rig will run windrose yesterday I wanted to let you know it runs well on my laptop!! Thank you for the help.

[still trail]

server hosted somewhere else or self-hosted?

[lone dagger]

Nitrado server I bought.. but I can see the game version is 0.10.0.2 something and my server is 0.10.0.1.6 so I am trying to update the server now

anyone know how to update the server inside Nitrado web interface?

[gritty nacelle]

Either open a ticket with the host or ask in #1493364524705775657 you can find nitrado peps about.
Not sure how they tend to handle updates.

[still trail]

same, I self-host mine

[gritty nacelle]

Via Steamcmd or the server app?

[lone dagger]

maybe Nitrado has not uploaded the new dedicated server build yet, so the problem its on Nirado`s side :/

[still trail]

headless ubuntu server, steamcmd

[gritty nacelle]

Should be able to rerun the command that you used to install.

[still trail]

more or less, you just add a validate check. doesn't help him though.

[gritty nacelle]

Ah my bad i assumed you had the same issue.

[hot fox]

We found out if you change the game settings in a dedicated while the game updated, it makes a second island map which bricks your save until you remove the dupes. Very weird

[still trail]

oh, no, was just echoing that I have no idea how nitrado handles updates.

[tired ibex]

Impossible d'entrer en mode démolition, est-ce que je suis le seul?

[lone dagger]

ok, I updated the server all u need to do go to web interface of Nitrado server then top right you will see shutdown or restart.. click on restart the server then it will updated it to the news version of the game.. and now when you log into the game you can join the server 😄

[unborn pewter]

Hey, Sorry if this is the 100th time this is being asked but
I cant host a server on my pc for some reason, and when I bought a dedicated one it doesnt let me join

[gritty nacelle]

Best to contact your host, Who are you with?

[lone dagger]

go to the Nitrado page, and top right you will see restart server option do that and ur server will work again

[unborn pewter]

gportal, but it doesnt let me join any server including ones being hosted on my friends

[gritty nacelle]

Most hosts are the same i just didnt know if they had any toggle anywhere.

[unborn pewter]

Am on gportal

[sweet tapir]

I also cant find any servers

[lone dagger]

sorry I dont know what is that 🙁

[gritty nacelle]

#1493364524705775657 Top post in this channel has a post about it.

[empty arch]

Every time I join my friends hosted games, my game works properly for about 5-10 minutes and then I get disconnected, and then the everything on my PC that requires an internet connection (Discord, Chrome, etc) stops working. My internet comes in and out intermittently. THIS ONLY HAPPENS after I start up Windrose and try to play. All other devices on my network (laptops, phones, etc) are fine and do not have this issue.

[dreamy wave]

If my friend started a co op server with him and I, is it possible to pull that same one over to a dedicated server?(not very savy on how all that works)

[keen parcel]

Does anyone know how to use Playstation controller input on my PC for this game on Steam???

PLEASE HELP 🥲💔

Im using Victrex Controller on my PC and playing on Steam

[vestal quiver]

Does anyone know why I only get around 65 fps even though I lowered my settings, turned vsync off and selected unlimited framerate?

[zenith prairie]

PlayStation controllers have to be wired directly to the PC or you have to get USB Bluetooth adapter.

[keen parcel]

Im using Victrex not PS controller

• its wired but not reflecting

Other games provide an option to switch and choose between PS and Xbox inputs, how can I contact the devs to request this?

It’s extremely important

[zenith prairie]

Make sure the toggle on the back of the controller is set right and try toggling the enable steam input.

[keen parcel]

Tried everything, unfortunately nothing works 💔

[zenith prairie]

Sorry homie best I know. I use my PlayStation remote. I can’t play games without controller support so I get the need. There is #1493272028646477986

Thx brother

[young imp]

Hello guys.
Can someone tell me how to solve this problem? When I connect to a friend's server, the game simply closes without any errors.

[exotic pike]

Cant start the game says system does not support DirectX 12

[nocturne hamlet]

Hey there. I just loaded into my save, that I played for 8 hours in 2 sessions. After 1 Minute Unreal Engine Crashed just with a Dialogue Box that says "Fatal Error". Since then every time I boot up the game I cannot even get into the main menu... any similar issues here?

[glacial bolt]

im hosting a server for friends and im getting this

server is up to date as far as i know and so is client

[rich fossil]

is it normal to have rubberbanding with the NITRADO server - especially when sailing? Its def. a server thing - game is at constant high FPS....

[lime topaz]

Selfhosting or rented ?

[glacial bolt]

self. used the steam app had the problem and just now tried steamcmd

same issue

[exotic pike]

What do I do about the direct 12?

[lime topaz]

Any error in Steam log or SteamCMD log ?

People got a corrupt manifest 0x6 error code

[lime topaz]

Nothing ?

[exotic pike]

?

[charred scroll]

You need a graphics card that supports it

[exotic pike]

so... need to do a refund then huh ok

[lime topaz]

Or you could post the entire error messgae and basic specifications of your PC ?

[exotic pike]

Just says system does not support DirectX 12. not sure how to do last part

[glacial bolt]

to be honest, im pretty proud of myself for setting it up and not catching my pc on fire... so i dont really know what / where i should be looking

[lime topaz]

Generate DXdiag and send the report here or go to the following directory and upload your Windrose.log file here (copy paste thisin your file explorer)

%LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\Logs

[exotic pike]

??

[lime topaz]

You could verify that by downloading the server into another directory, ideally with clean SteamCMD download as well.

[young imp]

Hello guys. Please help me figure it out

Hi, I’m setting up a server on my own computer so we can play with our friends, but my friends can’t connect to the server. When they try to create one, only the person who created it can join. How can we fix this?

[lime topaz]

Before the update ?

Have you rebooted it since you noticed the issue ?
Might be just a desync or a genuine bug.

[glacial bolt]

fyi deleting the file and revalidating as this thread i found worked https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1494773942320234576

i have restarted server yes. And its updated, but now getting other errors...

[tame wing]

My apologies, Admiral if this has been asked previously. Will there be Linux support in the near future?

[wet agate]

the linux user is the linux support

[tame wing]

indeed

[wet agate]

what kind of support did you need?

[tame wing]

to host a server on my linux machine

[wet agate]

you can do that already

[brave vortex]

hello ppl. we have rented a server from gportal we are 5 friends. one of us couldnt connect. same ISP same country (Greece) almost same road and we could join but he couldnt. we hoped the hotfix could fix but nothing. we tryed numerous fixes. and just now we changed his dns to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 then ipconfig /flushdns then rr pc and he finally connected. hope it helps!

[deft plover]

hello. When I click on the game on Steam, it keeps showing as if it's starting but never actually starts. It keeps trying to restart. I've reinstalled all the files but it didn't fix it. Can you help me?

[lime topaz]

Were you able to boot the game at any point before ?

[iron ridge]

Check with your Anti virus software make sure it is not blocking it. If running Win 11 there is also security software there that can an issue.

[deft plover]

Yes, I started it. I wanted to join the server where my friends were. After a few attempts, I managed to get in, but when I reconfigured and closed it, the game completely froze, and I had to restart my computer. After that, I experienced the problem I mentioned earlier of not being able to join the game.

[deft plover]

I don't use an antivirus program. All Windows antivirus protection is turned off.

[mossy crag]

Do you know if 8 people can log in to a server from my PC?

[iron ridge]

What are your PC specs?

CPU?
Graphics?
RAM amount?
Installed on HDD or SSD?

[iron ridge]

If your PC can handled it however devs said day one 8 is possible but 4 is recommended. #│announcements THinks that is where it was.

[deft plover]

ryzen5 5600,4060ti,16gb ram and ssd installed

[iron ridge]

Using Windows 11?

[deft plover]

yes

[hardy flicker]

would a dedicated server be better to reduce desync? this is 2 players

[iron ridge]

RAM issue. Games needs 16GB free for it to use.

Need to find that Core something in Win that could be blocking the game. Perhaps someone else remembers the name.

[iron ridge]

There are a lot of issues with MP right now see #1493364524705775657 So not sure how much they have worked through. Check out those threads to learn more.

[deft plover]

I have friends with lower-end systems who are currently playing games. When I researched online, I saw that people with 64GB of RAM are also experiencing these problems.

[sudden arrow]

We had a lot of issues but honestly we found it probably something to do with serverseeds not updating with server updates

we just refreshed our server and we had no more issues

[deft plover]

It keeps restarting and never turns on.

[hearty escarp]

Is anyone running a dedicated server through steamcmd and ran the command below to update the server, watched in download files, but when the client tried to connect still says "The client and server versions do not match"? The cilent has also validate their game files.

steamcmd.exe +login anonymous +app_update 4129620 +validate +quit

[neat cairn]

Im also like this currently

[hearty escarp]

When I check my server logs looks like the version is 0.10.0.1.6-02cb3254 but the steam client is 0.10.0.2.54-451ec92d

[neat cairn]

yup same exact here

[hearty escarp]

I wonder if the dedicated server tool in the steam client is different than the steamcmd, maybe that got updated but steamcmd didn't?

[neat cairn]

hopefully someone answers us

have a bunch of guys wanting to play haha

[hearty escarp]

I tried to update again but just keeps saying app up todate now

[fading kayak]

yea I had problems, it thinks its updated, but doesnt seem to, use the force install, it wont overwrite your saves, but back it up just in case.

[hearty escarp]

i'll try that ty

[young imp]

Hello guys.
Can someone tell me how to solve this problem? When I connect to a friend's server, the game simply closes without any errors.

[iron ridge]

Sadly a Steam issue. May need to run the update bat a few times. Faster solution would be pull your SAVED folder and Start bat (if it is in there) then delete the server and reinstall.

[fading kayak]

the force install worked for me

[hearty escarp]

Yep, ran below backed everything up and just put back after to be safe and its working. Thanks again.

i LOVE that this game has worked almost flawlessly on linux since the demo. keep it up!

the one thing i haven't been able to get working is HDR. The button to turn it on is simply unresponsive. i'm running cachyos with these launch options:

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%

i'm also using the cachyos version of proton. these settings alone are usually enough to get most games' HDR working. has anyone gotten HDR working on linux that has any tips?

[keen flower]

Since I applied the hotfix this morning and updated my self-hosted dedicated server, I am not always hit with an infinite loading screen whenever I am trying to join. Anyone else see this or know good workarounds? I've rebooted the server a few times and reinstalled the client. So far can't find anything in logs that show an issue, but maybe I am looking in the wrong place.

EDIT: Wow it just connected for the first time today.

[devout river]

Woops. Sorry, should have sent this here:

When hosting a server using steamcmd, how does that invite code allow me to connect both on the LAN as well as people connecting from outside my network? Usually with things like this the published ip is a parameter.

[woven delta]

Taken me 12 hours to get my nitrado dedicated server running and now it just keep kicking me back to main menu each ime i try to join

Which card do you have? I am unable to get HDR working on NVIDIA. Might just be a Proton/NVIDIA driver issue since it is so new.

[cold heron]

Hey guys, i believe this is very common topic now, but we are not able to host any game with my friends.

I guess this is a known issue, but I was playing on my work pc earlier today, got home, and now I can't load into the game. It just gets stuck on the loading screen. I've restarted my pc, uninstalled the game, deleted the cache, and reinstalled. Is there a known workaround for this?

I'm getting an error when I try to log into my dedicated server, it says the client and server versions do not match.

Which is true, but when I update the server via steam CMD, I get a message that it successfully installed the update. But it's still not the most up to date version. Is a newer version that matches with the client version not out yet ?

[polar breach]

someone else had a issue like that and I migrated him to another host and fixed it, but since nitrado is using windows server back end idk how to advise you to fix it from their panel

From the error logs. Happens whenever anyone tries to connect 🤷 Server deaded 🙁

[polar breach]

do you have console access?

does it say kernal32.dll error in the bottom of the console when its crashing?

[livid epoch]

Yeah, self hosting via Docker. So afer that I get:

windrose exited with code 21 (restarting)

😂

[polar breach]

are you running wine?

[livid epoch]

#1494863172920807554 message

[livid epoch]

It's the indifferent broccoli Docker image. I believe it's using Wine in the container, yes

[polar breach]

if you can find the .wine folder in the docker delete that and then try starting the server up again

but it might be a windows server docker idk i never messed with broccoli

[livid epoch]

windrose | Wine initialized: wine-8.0 (Debian 8.0~repack-4)

Is it a bad version of wine? It's been great so far

All been working fine. Bricked itself half an hour ago or so

[polar breach]

Mines on version 11

but when a user had the crashing issue and got stuck in that loop, I took his world save and was able to get it to boot by removing the .wine folder and letting it repopulate itself

[livid epoch]

Any quick way to do that, or Google fu?

[polar breach]

prolly gonna have to google it unless your docker has a panel attatched to it

[livid epoch]

It's all Ubuntu CLI 😂

[polar breach]

yeah google fu it is XD

[tawdry abyss]

Yo I can't seem to get the game to run. Ik my device doesn't meet the minimum requirements. which is weird cuz the demo ran just fine...

anyone got any advice?

[polar breach]

upgrade the device?

[tawdry abyss]

it's a laptop. can't be upgraded. i'm in the process of building a pc tho

[polar breach]

well i would assume that's your issue if you don't meet the minimum requirements. Demo most likely was very limited in what features/functions were active and in the game. released 'early access' version most likely utilizes more.

[tawdry abyss]

yeah I suspect that's the case too

The game does run tho I just get suck in a loading screen for what seems like forever.

[tardy shard]

Same issue here

[tawdry abyss]

guess It'll just have to sit in my libary till I get a pc built

[earnest gate]

I switched to the steam version and it was up to date

[hollow sentinel]

Just happened to me, now always

[elfin apex]

is anyone having trouble using Nitrado? i just started a server and it keeps saying incorrect password

[cunning idol]

my nitrado server is in restarting loop since i change the password for joining the server , nitrado support could you help me please ? @copper knoll

[polar breach]

https://tenor.com/view/flamingo-albert-gif-5132144481751800826

[tawdry abyss]

How long do you normal have to wait?

[tardy shard]

How'd you actually do this? Because Im updating via steamCMD

[hollow sentinel]

About 30 seconds, im able to run around and open menus in the loading screen

[earnest gate]

In steam, download the dedicated server "game" and right click, browse local files. Then it's the same as steamCMD folder.

I assume you would need to transfer your world save if this isn't your first time playing (it is mine)

Annddd now I'm getting the infinite load bug

[indigo obsidian]

You can try just renaming the folder of "SaveProfiles" to something like "SaveProfiles2"

Then boot the game up - it will have you make another character. Just spam through

Then close the game out and delete the newly created "SaveProiles" folder. Then rename your original folder back to "SaveProfiles" and relaunch the game. That got me through without losing anything

[gritty zenith]

can anyone help? Everytime i pull out a weapon it does the animation but weapon stays put i legit cannot play the game now because of this

[copper knoll]

Create a thread with your used ID in the support channel please 🙏 We would be more than glad to assist you further

[cunning idol]

already done

[earnest gate]

When I play in a solo world, it seems to work. It might be a server thing

[violet yew]

this is happing to my friend after pc crash only happened when he is in game in server it not happing to me or anyone else

[rustic wasp]

Does the Dr need his own bed? He seems to be sleeping in mine.

[keen shuttle]

So I've figured out how to stop the crash and driver reset due to high temperatures, by limiting my PC to only boost to 4400 mhz or whatever, instead of its max. (therefore avoiding the 93C) but no other game goes that high with temperatures. (Star Citizen, CP2077, things like that for example on ultra). Its a temporary solution until I can understand why its only Windrose that runs my CPU so hot. I've even tried lower settings and it's the same.

[elfin apex]

@copper knoll is getting "incorrect password" after changing a servers password a common issue or am i just doing something wrong?

[wary kraken]

Hey, since there is no more room to make threads in #1493364524705775657 I figure I'll ask here;
Has anyone had to restore a backup save on their nitrado server? Their support said our save file is corrupt.
Currently FTP'd in and there's over 5k files and I've no clue what to delete or mess with in order to go to a previous save state

[unkempt onyx]

When I create a world on solo I can't select it and confirm is grayed out, please help

[torpid drift]

I'm trying (and failing) to get it to work on a linux hetzner server, it can't reach out to windrose.support to register the server. Can I ask which datacenter you're in to rule that out? I'm in us-east, Ashburn, VA

[livid epoch]

I have fixed this by deleting the docker image and repulling it from IB. Rebuilt all the server resources on first start. Cheers for the pointers!

[polar breach]

glad you're able to get it goin :}

[keen inlet]

Since I can't put it in the bug report, have this here I guess

I can play solo, I can play a hosted server with my buddies, but I can't join a dedicated server. As soon as I join a dedicate server, when it would load me into game, I instead either get booted to the main menu or the game crashes (50/50 chance). It happens every single time I try to join this server, but I can play otherwise fine. It's not the server as there's currently 4 other people connected just fine (I was trying to join from the time there was 0 dudes, so it's not player count)

I've done every little bit of troubleshooting I could find, along with getting in touch my my ISP who confirmed things aren't being blocked.

I attached the latest log and crash report if that says anything

My system specs are:
i9-14900k
64GB RAM
5080

[copper knoll]

Open a support thread with your user ID please 😄 and feel free to tag me once done ^^

[final ember]

Hi everyone, this is only happening to me. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I play for about 30 minutes and then this happens.

[limber hornet]

anyone ever gone to open the game and after it loads theres no main menu

[midnight summit]

Did the servers go down again or is this just me?

[outer spruce]

i have brought 2 different servers from 2 different providers and both are not working

[midnight summit]

i had one from gportal and nitrado and can at least say both were working so...

[outer spruce]

yea i have the same both say there working but can not join them in game

[midnight summit]

I was just booted out of mine but it's back

[drifting prism]

Hey I got a question if its happened to anyone else yet, I was playing on online and had the server crash, and now it wont load the world and kicks back to main menu. Is there anyone who has recovered a world?

[outer spruce]

i been trying for an hour and a half to join both servers and nothing just stuck in the loading screens

[solar helm]

Try checking from the files. If the server file is corrupted like me, you have to make new world, which is so frustrating. That's why I'm trying to ask for a server save donor here

Anyway My dedicated server just got corrupted. Tried to restore but the server just deleted all remaining files instead.

Tried starting new one but it doesn't even tell me where's tortuga, and the faction hq since i finished lot of them.

So as i said, I'm looking for anyone that has least tortuga, smuggler hq, brethen hq, and bucaneer hq unlocked and willing to post their world save somewhere.

It will really help to set me back on track.

Location at
%LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles<YourSteamID>\RocksDB<Version>\Worlds<World-ID>

Or dedicated instead of localappdata if you are running a dedicated

[drifting prism]

I had a backup from HOURS ago, so I was REALLY hoping I could get in and see what pooped and remove it

[solar helm]

Nice at least you have a backup. I was self hosted and didn't have any

You can just paste the back up to the working one

[drifting prism]

thats 6-7 hours ago of play time

[solar helm]

True but did you store it on your boat? Your boat and char inventory persist, but not the world chests

[drifting prism]

Nope most ofd it was world and we JUST built a sick lair

or camp

[solar helm]

Oof
Welp same thing happened
I managed to build above water abode and now its gone

[fresh kernel]

while i am playing the game freezes and is very choppy any help

[atomic grotto]

My game keeps freezing whenever I join solo/offline. Requires me to restart pc.
I tried Reinstalling the game but the same thing happens. Created a new character and server and issue persist.

AMD 9800x3d
AMD 9070xt - (Driver ver. 26.3.1)

[thick kelp]

Created a dedicated server on Nitrado - I can connect fine with the invite code, but my friend tries to use it and it just tells him 'Server not found'.

[torpid drift]

There's a site that will let you generate an interactive map from a seed so you can find them in a new save. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post it, but I can send you a link to it if you want to DM me.

I'm not affiliated with that site, btw

[solar helm]

i'm looking for someone that willing to donor their save at least for teleport points. im not sure interactive map will help me and get me motivated enough to start over

[torpid drift]

I just started a new world because I didn't like my seed, took me less than an hour to sail around and find the lot of them. Your ships and their inventory (and yours) are attached to your character, not your world, so you can pop your ship in the normal way.

Same for quest progress

[solar helm]

yes i know, but i had spent 8-12 hours decorating my base just to be above water and also did tons of furniture
to make things worse, i had tons of stuff to almost build a brig, and just little wood and copper away from it

so yeah currently at least i want teleport points before i want to start regrinding it. i dont mind losing my beautiful base, but roaming around in my ketch isn't exactly fun

[torpid drift]

Gotcha.

[onyx shale]

dang, my video and FPS have been amazing all day, but when I died on boat now my fps is hovering around 15 to 20 :\

I have been well over 60 for 5 hours today, i even went as far as setting things to low graphics and still nothing

i have updated the drivers and have done 2 reboots

nvidia Geforce RTX 4080

[urban quiver]

was playing on my server with some friends an dserver crashed now it wont relaunch

[bronze pine]

is a GPU really needed for a dedicated server?
my friend has a server with no GPU and I just tested to setup process on my gaming pc, seen this in the console.

                Total: CPU = 3.721000 KB; GPU = 3.721000 KB.

[urban quiver]

it goes to loading screen and goes back to main menu

anyone else have that issue or have the fix?

[onyx shale]

i am not running a dedicated server

[polar breach]

no

[midnight summit]

Depends on the game, gpus can often be used for the parallel processing

[bronze pine]

Windrose

[midnight summit]

doubt it

[bronze pine]

humm found this.
Server won’t start or crashes on launch
Verify game files in Steam. Update GPU drivers. Update your OS. Add firewall/antivirus exceptions for WindroseServer.exe. Restart PC and router.

I searched GPU with ctrl+f
Honestly I'm surprised.

https://playwindrose.com/dedicated-server-guide/#wsg-advanced

[midnight summit]

I doubt if it's needed its for a worthy reason

[abstract sonnet]

I am in Germany.. And my Server is a Windows Server..

[torpid drift]

Thanks! It doesn't rule anything out unfortunately. It could still be just that datacenter, it could be something in my config. I'll keep poking at it.

[still trail]

I am running mine on a headless server with no gpu... so... nope.

[main sky]

i have this issue, no fix 🙁

[bronze pine]

good to know. I set up a server on my end and I was able to transfer the world with no problems. My friend was using Chatgpt so God knows what problems he created for himself. I just packaged the entire server on my end sent it to him all he has to do is unpack it and run the bat file.

[devout cairn]

i am ready to stop playing this game, i really like to game but if im a level 6 person i should not be having trouble

defeat richards which is a recommended character level 4.

[cedar bough]

Hi everyone Made a windrose dedicated server for me and my friends and when run StartServerForeground.bat file ( some red text show up). It keep on crushing every time run it. So can't run the server

[lime topaz]

Could you provide more details about your setup that you host the server on ?

[cedar bough]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwPMoqaxN5A I follow this guide on youtube

[lime topaz]

Which hardware, OS, hypervizor, etc.

[cedar bough]

okay

INTEL CORE i9-14900K OEM

32 gb ram

4080 Geforce RTX

[lime topaz]

On your desktop on whcih you also run the game ?

[lime topaz]

Could you also upload the server log file from ".\R5\Saved\Logs" ?

[cedar bough]

which one?

[lime topaz]

Whichever has the issue, I presume the last one "r5.log"

[cedar bough]

No just made server this morining and try get to run

I import my save files from offline save to this server @lime topaz

[lime topaz]

The log needs loggin'

[cedar bough]

@lime topaz How do that?

[lime topaz]

The same way you uploaded every other file up to this point.

[cedar bough]

@lime topaz okay Thank u. I got go to work and look into that tonight

[woven delta]

Playing this online with friends since yesterday mornings patch has been a nightmare, Firstly it took all day to get the dedicated server back online then once you do , each time you try to join it eithers crashes your game or kicks you back to main menu

[lost dust]

are the servers lagging like crazy for anyone else or is it just my buddies game?

[timber bobcat]

My windrose server on Nitrado crashed and wont start. We tried everything we could but it just keeps trapped in a restarting and stopping cycle.

[sacred charm]

i try to host a game but i never get out of the loading screen. starting a singel player game works and is fast

[red jungle]

As the game goes through development, Is it likely that minimum requirements will lower? Or are they more or less around the spot they'll be? (Just curious, I haven't noticed any glaring, or even smaller ones honestly, issues yet)

[prisma aurora]

How are you at 60 with a 4080? I’m on the same and 145-160 on medium-high settings

[woven delta]

I have just about given up with trying to join or host a dedicated server, yes i use nitrado but i hear other providers having same issues, Im playing solo untill they throw out a fix

[unreal slate]

Was hosting a game with 1 friend joining having one crash every so often, now every time it loads in it crashes even if its just me loading the game. What's the deal all of a sudden?

[livid sequoia]

having this same problem

[restive elbow]

We were playing on a rented server yesterday, but none of us can login this morning. Restart didnt help. Has anyone an idea what could help?

[brazen kettle]

same

[cloud pier]

G portal?

[brazen kettle]

Y, i have it hosted there

[cloud pier]

Seems like no one who had g portal can acess thire servers today. Everyone is beeing sent back to main menu

It's very unclear why

[indigo blade]

still cant even launch the game, sits in loading screen and never makes it to main menu.

[rapid cliff]

yes same, my friends and I think this is caused by the NPCs whenever they fight, they seem to take out a lot of the environment which spawns a lot of loot drops around the island that lags us out like crazy. haven't found a fix for this unfortunately

[restive elbow]

The G Support replied they are currently working on it

[cloud pier]

So why is thire support saying delete the server. Giving dubble info atm

[livid sequoia]

is anyone able to host a world even without a hosting provider like jsut through the game

cuz it used to work but now i just get sent to the main menu after loading for a long time

when i try to host but it works perfectly fine on singleplayer

[modest frost]

it's the same with dedicated servers too

[livid sequoia]

when are they gunna fix this i really just wanna play this game i paid for man :c

:/

[solar pecan]

early access bud

[unkempt blade]

hosting game stuck me in loading forever, but when i delete game folder it run okay meanwhile i have to do everything from beginning ....

[livid sequoia]

i know but like the game should at least be playable

[livid sequoia]

i had this issue and i kept trying for many hours and eventually it loaded

but now i want to play again and am having to deal with the same thing

[untold schooner]

Did you guys open a thread in #1493348541177794601 ?

[modest frost]

we have just today the problem, i played since day one about 28hrs i don't think that you can speak of "not working" when it worked. issues can always occur. and obviously you are not the only one with the problem and maybe it's not only a "developer" thing

[modest frost]

not yet, bc, i thought it's probably a known problem

[cedar bough]

I made a dedicated server for windrose game. I run start bat file and red text show. Crashes the server and the commands you gave look at the error. Not work can you help me

[untold schooner]

I have not run into that bug yet , my server runs on nitrado.since day 1

[modest frost]

our server is on g-portal and the server is running, no crash report or anything, just throws back after loading to main menu

[covert sleet]

Hello, I'm experiencing a rather strange problem. My computer usually downloads and plays games normally, but yesterday I updated to a new version of the game, and the problem started there.

I used my Steam account to open the game, which I purchased with this account. The loading screen lasted quite a while, about 20 minutes, then it showed the image below.

When I logged in with a different account that I also used to purchase the game on my computer, the game ran normally.

Part of error I'm getting

[covert sleet]

i need help

[livid sequoia]

i gave my save to my friend and i was able to join them when they hosted

[cloud pier]

its unforutnatly a wide spread issue atm

[smoky arrow]

Hey. I'm technologically illiterate.
I'm having issues where the graphics look... grainy, I guess.
Like everything looks granular around the edges, especially during movement.

Running on this.

[modest frost]

we are on a dedicated server i don't think that i have a "own" save-game to share, i've read that we can try to "delete" our server and reupload the save game and maybe that works, but i am hestitant to try that tbh

[covert sleet]

I opened the game and waited a long time, then it showed up like this image. Has anyone else experienced this?

I used a different Steam account and was able to log into the game and play normally.

[cloud pier]

you do have a save file in your server files

[lime topaz]

It's basically a save corruption issue. Plenty of folks have had this.

[safe karma]

Yeah we bought server on SurvivalServers for 8 players, we experience rubberbanding when we on sea. When we all inland it works smoothly

[covert sleet]

Have you come up with a solution yet? :(((

[modest frost]

ja, of course, that is what i meant. I read that part, but i am not sure if i want to try it (in fear of losing the progress) and if it's the only way to get it fixed

[lime topaz]

You mean other than disabling Steam Cloud and removing your save ?

[covert sleet]

I will test

thank

[covert sleet]

how i can find file save game and delete

[novel hare]

can confirm this worked for me. created a new server with a different IP and it's letting me connect just fine, savegame seems to be fine as well

[lime topaz]

Disable Steam Cloud first then go to here and delete this (also, make a backup in case it will not help) :
%LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveGames\

[covert sleet]

what now sir :((

[agile veldt]

Having the same issue with my G-Portal server

[glossy atlas]

Looking for a bit of advice, never had a rented server before, myself and my friends have an ongoing game. We’re looking into a nitrado server. Can we move everything including the base into a dedicated server or do we lose everything and have to start again? Any help would be appreciated

[agile veldt]

you should be able to move the world safe file over
