[glossy atlas]

Thanks for the reply I’ve never done a rented server before so I have 0 clue about how it works

So do you just moved the saved file somewhere ?

[agile veldt]

I'm sure if you get stuck someone can help. Yes move it to the same directory but on the dedicated server side

[glossy atlas]

You recommended gportal over nitrado or is there no real difference?

[agile veldt]

Honestly just what I use it's personal preference they both do the same thing

[glossy atlas]

Ok buddy thank you for your time hopefully il get it sorted later on today then

[agile veldt]

Happy Saling sir

[terse topaz]

Hello! i cannot pass the loading screen, it only stays in the loadinscreen and i can never play the game

any tips

?

[undone venture]

Same boat as you chibs,was just about to ask the same question

[terse topaz]

yeah it is very annoying and i kinda want to get my monney back if i cant play the game...

[agile veldt]

I think everyone has the same issue rn

have to wait for a patch

[terse topaz]

oh okey.. i did the toutorial then stuuck in loadingscreen forever 🙁

[agile veldt]

Are you on solo or co-op

[undone venture]

ive tried unistalling/reinstall,validated all the files,checked the saves but no joy

[terse topaz]

i tried both

buut i can never play haha

[agile veldt]

Oh so it's not just a server side thing

[terse topaz]

nope :/

[agile veldt]

hmmmm, seems some people are able to play

[terse topaz]

yeah my friend can play but not me

[willow sedge]

same server?

[terse topaz]

yes, i tried to host a game, play solo, join friends. but still always stuck in the loadingscreen

[agile veldt]

Do you have mods or full vanilla?

[terse topaz]

just downloaded the game so vanilla i think

[agile veldt]

yeye. thought maybe it could me a mod error cos I use some mods but maybe not

[fallen zinc]

That have a lot of people at this moment

[terse topaz]

yeah need a patch or i refound the game

[amber tangle]

Any new info on the intel arc b580 bsod issue?

[willow sedge]

its only gportal? Or other as well too?

[undone burrow]

Something that might help: The tutorial actually still happens "locally", and you only actually connect to the server after the tutorial is completed. You may want to consult the options at https://playwindrose.com/faq/

[fathom aspen]

game crashes randomly for me

[fallen zinc]

i have some frinds on G portal and it works .. my server friom G portal Dont work xD

[light delta]

so im hosting a server using Bisecthosting and want to change the difficult setting but i dont have any game.ini files. can anyone help me out?

[vapid gazelle]

Hi, someone know how to export sst files from Nitrado pls ?

[cloud pier]

look for a file calleed "dedicatedserver.md" <- at least thats what we have on g portal

[manic mulch]

you could copy the world from the server put it in the local on your computer edit it with the game off line copy it back

[swift bough]

My Gportal go to main as well

[light delta]

would i add the difficult settings in that file?

[terse topaz]

i can only play offline and not host or join a game with my friends.

[cloud pier]

for anyone having issues with your gportal windrose server loading and sending you to main menu - https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1494954994279907338

[cloud pier]

exactly.

[manic mulch]

are you runing panel of some sort?

[unreal summit]

My Gportal have the same problem

[terse topaz]

how do you mean?

[manic mulch]

like pterodactyl?

[terse topaz]

i wanna play with my friends not solo, and i cant play on their host games and i cant host a game it just get me stuck in the loadingscreen 4 ever

[light delta]

i have to use a vpn to play with my friends

[thick marsh]

Has anyone tried running on an N100 host?

[covert sleet]

After successfully deleting my old character, I realized the error stemmed from me exiting the game and shutting down my computer while Steam was saving my gameplay to the cloud.

Now I'm playing again from the beginning. lol

[minor bobcat]

On G Portal, done a restart just now and back up and running

[cloud pier]

from G portal

[ivory tide]

My server in G-Portal is on

[vivid spoke]

HI all, me and my friends are currently trying to do our coop server but every time the person who is currently hosting the server and has the save loads in he just get kicked back to the main menu. is there something going on at the moment with servers or is it just some thing that is happening at the moment?

[errant sinew]

Hey, I have a question. Is there such an option? My friend and I started playing on his server (joining with the code). If we buy a dedicated server now, will it be possible to transfer all our progress we made on his host to the dedicated server?

[cloud pier]

yes. should be possible by just upload the save file

[errant sinew]

yeah but i wanna be 100% sure cause someone here said he tried it and the game isnt just loading the world

[cloud pier]

i had to reinstall my server and downloaded my world and then just re upploaded it, and it worked.
but it was all on same server host - dedicated

[astral forge]

Anyone facing data loss on his player but no in the world he's playing on?

[gloomy mountain]

Been having crazy high CPU Usage and a lot of input lag. Anyone else?

[sweet tapir]

do you have to have a dedicated server to host? I cant see any servers?

[wind tree]

Hey guys im facing an issue rn which i cant join my friends server but i can play offline with no issues, everytume i try to join my friends server it takes me back to the main menu when the loading screen ends and same thing with them they cant join me bit they can join each other. What can i do to fix it?

[cinder turret]

we also did this, you need transfer following from the old to the new server:

R5\saved\saveprofiles\default\RocksDB\0.10.0\Worlds - the whole folder
R5\ServerDescription.json

[cloud sundial]

hey all im still having this issue with connecting to a nitrado hosted server. The code is perfect, ive reinstalled the game, i have the correct code and game files all checked, ive reloaded multiple times and still cant access this server but others can. Is there anything i need to do in the client? Or steam to get it to a version i can access or is there any fix that can help

[keen parcel]

Guys I joined my friends server, if the host isn’t online is there a way I can enter his server? Or at least go solo then bring my buildings and progress to his server??? 🥲 💔

[cinder turret]

did he host the server or do your friend have a dedicated server?

[keen parcel]

He did host

[cinder turret]

then, you have to wait, till your friend plays

[lost matrix]

you can play offline on a new world and bring your inventory along

[keen parcel]

How much does the dedicated server cost? And does the progress transfer with me to the dedicated server (missions completed and points and ship aquired) ?

[lost matrix]

ship, ship inventory, upgrades, quest progression, everything follows your character

[cinder turret]

there are different offers. i payed 11€ for 30 Days at g-portal. your friend need to transfer the world files from his lokal world(which he hosted) to the dedicated server

[keen parcel]

Oh thx

[keen parcel]

How?

[simple lance]

confirming, game purchase and running on low setting perfectly fine. Thanks again

[lost matrix]

when choosing a hosting provider I would search the chat for the hosting provider and see how many people have issues with each hosting provider

hosting a dedicated server can be done for free if you have enough cpu/ram and don't mind having your computer running for your friends

[rocky zealot]

Has there been any troubleshooting for the loading screen of death ? ( When loading back into a server )

[keen parcel]

It has to run 24h?

[lost matrix]

it has to run when you want people to play on it.

[cinder turret]

at least every time you and your friends wanna play

[keen parcel]

I need them to play even if I was offline

[cinder turret]

then you need to get a dedicated server

• hosting profider
• lokal on your pc, but then your pc must run 24/7

[keen parcel]

I just searched it .. It’s toooooo expensive to have a dedicated server😅💔

Toooooooooooooo expensive

[cinder turret]

11€ for 30 days?

[keen parcel]

anyone has another idea rather than Nitrado?

[cinder turret]

g-portal

[keen parcel]

Im looking for 365 days

[lost matrix]

I would look at the broccoli guys

[keen parcel]

It shows 133$

[keen parcel]

Hmmm, Ill have a llok

Look*

[rotund galleon]

Hey everyone, does anyone know a fix for not connecting to a friend on a server? (It loads endlessly and then kicks out.) Or, conversely, there's no server on another server if you enter the code on the server.

[lost matrix]

check out indifferentbroccoli too for hosting. They make their servers open source source. Which is a very nice thing to do for the community

[cinder turret]

but are you sure you want to play the game for a year?

[lost matrix]

you could probably split the bill with your friends too

but I'd look at a monthly plan

[cinder turret]

thats how we deal with, if the game is running on windows server better 😄

[native monolith]

Same here - nobody seems to know how to fix it

[lament tartan]

hello im having prombles with the quests showing no entry

[keen parcel]

I just found a way of creating a server using SteamCMD, can I do it with Windrose?

[keen parcel]

Question for u also 😁

[lost matrix]

Yes of course

[keen parcel]

If I do it, my PC should be on 24h right? I don’t have to be online in the game

[lost matrix]

you can run this command to do it:
f:\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir f:\windrose +login anonymous +app_update 4129620 +quit

Of course you will need to change the paths to fit your computer

[cinder turret]

but, if you wanna do this on your pc, the pc have to run every time you and your friends want to play

[lost matrix]

Only your PC needs to be running with the windrose server in the background. You can turn off your game

but you also probably want to tweak the windows sleep timer so it doesn't go to sleep

[cinder turret]

i sent you a yt tutorial we used first

[lost matrix]

and make sure you keep windows up to date so it doesn't just update and reboot the computer unexpectedly

[keen parcel]

Will it make my PC weaker with time? Consume something?

[lost matrix]

nah you can do it for 10 years no problem

[keen parcel]

Thanks, much much appreciated ❤️❤️

[lost matrix]

server doesn't demand much

[keen parcel]

That’s a relief, I was scared tbh

[lost matrix]

nothing to worry about at all

I've done this sort of thing for many years

[keen parcel]

Im trusting you then, thx for the help both of you 🫡❤️

[lost matrix]

There are also guides for how you can copy a save file from the game and run it on the server

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

[boreal gulch]

Hey all, me and my wife play with me hosting (not a dedicated server) and we are on DC (isp is Verizon). Love the game, but there's a lot of rubberbanding/lag (internet lag, not fps lag) , most specially when doing the ship battles. The ship even keeps "catching up" and going from 20kts to 5kts on a cycle. I've read some things about around that this is an issue they are aware. Only wanted to report here as well.

[vestal quiver]

Hey, I hosted a private session and selected 4 players. Is it possible to increase the amount of players after having played on that session? I read on the web that it's possible to do via the in-game files, I just wanna make sure that's correct

[brave surge]

Sup guys, i have tried to run a dedicated server via steam server, and also steamcmd, both versions if I click forehand bat and windrose server exe all end in windownclose immediately or nothing. Tried running as admin, tried cmd to folder and running to keep window open nothing. Server is running windows 11 has .net can run other servers through steamcmd, any help please or a way for error log to find out whats occurring. Server has correct specs etc?

[lost matrix]

Yes you can edit a json file and change it there

[vestal quiver]

Awesome, thank you!

[lost matrix]

in the R5 folder there is a file called ServerDescription.json.
Simply change MaxPlayerCount, but be careful to keep everything in the correct order, keep the comma etc. Sensitive file.

[cold heron]

HEY guys, before i buy server on Nitrado ... could you please help me?
If i am trying to connect to my dedicated server on my pc, i cant connect to that server due to "unexpected error".
didnt find any possible fix for this.

Will Nitrado server somehow bypass this and let us connect?

[lost matrix]

How do you host your dedicated server?

[cold heron]

i followed the guide on their site and downloaded dedicated server from steam.

[lost matrix]

a dedicated server should work just fine. If you want I can send you an invite code so you can test that you are able to actually join a dedicated server that works

[cold heron]

that would be awesome

[lost matrix]

if you can join that code then it doesn't really matter if you choose nitrado or any other hosting provider. I would recommend another hosting provider though, based on how many people have had issues with nitrado.
And I would advice you only pay for a month to see if you are happy with the performance.

[cold heron]

well, unexpected error occured, so still the same unfortunately

[lost matrix]

try creating a new character and see if that makes a difference

or try connecting to a vpn like protonvpn to see if your ISP or DNS settings may interfere with the game

protonvpn is free

and make sure your game is updated

I'll test that server just to make sure it works 😛

[violet shore]

I am stuck in a load cycle.... I have a Gportal account

[cold heron]

created new character and still unexpected error occurs. 🙁
going to download VPN to check

[violet shore]

been playing on it since the 15th

[lost matrix]

just confirmed the server is operational. I could join with no issues

So guess a nitrado server won't help you out

you could also try to just change your DNS server settings. I use 1.1.1.1 / 8.8.8.8 to avoid any ISP limitations.

but a VPN will also avoid such limitations

[hearty hornet]

hello, anyone tried to host a game in multiplayer (new world new player) but got kicked back to the main menu while the game is loading ?

[cold heron]

i have done this yesterday as well. Also port forwarding. UpNp enabled, nat type moderate. Also own static IPV4 from my provider.
im trying VPN currently to check any results. Will get back

[cold heron]

Hi, yes. Im trying to solve it now here with @lost matrix 🙂

[ebon jungle]

Hello, i have a question about my cpu. I have a i7-12700KF. I have read, that this kind of cpu will get very hot with games that use U5 like windrose. I found reports of windrose player (with that cpu). They said they fixed this problem by undervolting the cpu ( -0.050 V to -0.080 V ). Can anyone confirm this solution?

[lost matrix]

You don't need port forwarding or upnp enabled. a punchable nat should do the trick

[lost matrix]

Other factors also matter for CPU heat, like which fan, paste, case and room temperature you have.
CPU's can get hot without it being dangerous. They usually just become temporarily slow to avoid overheating.

There are tools that show you the CPU temp, like Ccore temp

[ebon jungle]

Ok. I use hwmonitor. A few games make my temp up to 98 c. If i remember right it were u5 games and x4. I try to avoid such games atm, but windrose is calling me haha

[cold heron]

Ok, so ProtonVPN solved the problem. I can see your server now.

do you have any issue that is between me and provider in your mind? Is there any way i could fix this with them?

[wraith kettle]

Can anybody help me and test this invite code ? a220d491
Got no friend to test it

[lost matrix]

There is a rumor that the windrose game needs to connect to a backend, and that its hosted in russia. That may be something certain ISP's block

[cold heron]

i see it 🙂

[cold heron]

that makes sense... thats probably why they ask for ISP and country, right?

[wraith kettle]

thank you ❤️

[wraith kettle]

I've read about that on Steam Forums... That's also why I was suspicious about that "no port attribution" method.

[lost matrix]

There is a FAQ here:
https://playwindrose.com/faq/#faq-isp

However, I personally cannot test that port on windrose.support:3478. I don't have any issues though. So not sure if the FAQ is up to date on this point

Good luck. Gtg

[deft plover]

Hi. I have a quest to craft a melee weapon. I'm crafting the weapon, but the quest isn't being accepted. What should I do?

[sharp galleon]

my pc freezes all the time!!!

[nocturne root]

Hello everyone,

Does anyone have any advice regarding the endless loading and inability to join or host a game?

[outer plover]

Hey guys can someone help please? Trying to play online and one of my friends is constantly booted out straight after they join the server.
Server is hosted by player A, Player B can log in fine, player C constantly booted, players B and C are on the same network. is there a known fix or is it just pot lock? this happened yesterday but they eventually got in..today is much harder

[hollow compass]

I am having the same issue

[nocturne root]

I want to play it with three other friends...

[civic jetty]

I am also having the same issue

Any communication from Kraken???

Also can't quit game without end task. Was fine yesterday

[still trail]

quest text says craft, quest itself says upgrade

all you really need to do to complete it is equip any level 2 weapon

[civic jetty]

Does anyone have a fix for the connection issues on paid servers?

Keep getting booted back to main menu

[short dock]

is there a way to see why my dedicated server just closed itself suddenly?

[civic jetty]

Same with other people on the server

[civic jetty]

Same problem here

[short dock]

you on dedicated hosted by yourself or on a service?

[grave kite]

Same here, assuming update

[civic jetty]

Service

My solo client works fine

[pale jackal]

My dedicated server just shut down and won't start back up

[slow grotto]

hosted server just closed again... does anyone know why this happens. Two players in one's game...

[dim rock]

Same here

[civic jetty]

Seems wide spread at this point

[graceful gorge]

y had disconnect as well

[devout river]

Ah. Ok cool. I was losing my marbles troubleshooting lol

[lucid basin]

yep, their auth servers are borked it seems

[hot roost]

Their remote host is unavailable, all servers do some form of session authentication via a server from the devs and when that is unavailable it kills your hosted box

[dense edge]

just happened to me too, wasn't sure if it was a me problem or game so I joined the discord

[devout river]

Don’t love that. Why can’t I connect to my locally hosted server without their servers operational.

[civic jetty]

Same here lol

[storm otter]

Because they act as a middleware

[dense edge]

do we know if our progress will remain intact
my main concern was wiping due to server crash

[hollow compass]

Does anyone have any advice regarding the endless loading and inability to join or host a game?

[hot roost]

I imagine this'll be removed at some point because it's not tenable long term but I bet during development they used this to build or test a server browser or something similar and it's just poorly implemented

[devout river]

I literally just unlocked the first boat and was building my first wharf

[civic jetty]

Not much support in this tech support channel

[devout river]

It’s borked

What more do you need 🤣

[severe shore]

So pirates can't pirate the pirate game, for one, ||not that it really stops them||

[lucid basin]

the multiple times my dedi server crashed i've lost seconds of progress. Seems like rollbacks aren't really a thing.

[unreal summit]

Gportal is ok for me

[storm otter]

woooooow you lost SECONDS the game is so broken

[hot roost]

This would be fine for client authentication but you don't need a license for the dedicated server so not sure why it would need to authenticate anything

[sand karma]

Interesting that self hosted servers are tied to a third party api authentication

[lucid basin]

you idiot, i'm telling someone that there's nothing to worry about.

[devout river]

Do they have an official system status page. I didn’t see one besides this random one https://status.technobezz.com/windrose

[lucid basin]

stuffs back up.

[severe shore]

sure, you can host a dedicated server without owning the game or anything (which makes perfect sense if you think about how dedicated servers work), but all clients need authentication anyway

[devout river]

So if I lose internet at my house I can’t play my pirate game because of real life pirates lol

[lucid basin]

i think this is, ironically, an anti-piracy measure more than anything.

[civic jetty]

Statement made by Kraken acknowledging the problem

[lucid basin]

kind of weird that it's on the server side and not the client.

[latent blaze]

LAN-incapabe games, Grrrr!

Just got here, assuming the servers are borked? Can't login to my own server running on my local network.

[hot roost]

hahaha, just checked, you can't post the url of the API gateway that is down which prevents your dedi from working

Looks like their k8s cluster has died since even the ingress is blocking

[latent blaze]

I checked, it WAS running in EU AWS

[devout river]

I’m back in. Had to restart the server

[still trail]

I restarted mine twice and it's been working after the second, for the last five or so mins?

[lucid basin]

one very concerning thing is that the auth server was in moscow, the dev is uzbek and now they've moved everything out.

[fair holly]

stuff crashes, relax, its not the end of the world. relaying via their servers is probably temporary, its easier for stuff in development as it doesn't require any network changes. all good now it seems. they need some more intelligent error correction as the server must be restarted for it to retry the connection to the relay.

[onyx shale]

That is my question. Its been amazing graphics I’m sure it was close to yours. But after a death its down to 20ish

[grand orchid]

My friend is trying to join my hosed game and his game keeps crashing while he try to join
how can i fix?

[raw spoke]

Hello,In the settings, I disabled shared quest progression. There are 10 of us, but we mostly play in small duos now.My question is: for example, when we clear a camp, only one person drops the insignias.With shared quests enabled, does it validate the quest for all 8 players in the game, or only for the two players nearby who are actually doing the quest? And does it allow both of them to get the drops?Do the pirates in the camps respawn?What settings are you guys using?

[terse reef]

They are having issues currently. We're not able to relaunch our server -- very possible it's causing your issues as well.

[tribal oriole]

Question about the ordering mechanic!

Is this a tooltip typo, or is it a bug?
The stack size is 30, but it says each contains 50.. In that case, it should be one stack plus 2/3 of a stack.

This might not be the right channel for this question......

[sleek glacier]

Ok about to throw this game into the fire, so yesterday out of nowhere had to disable the cloudsave feature and delete the folder trick to even get the game to run. Then today I cant load into any server other than local game only, because loading into a server kicks the entire server... or shared games kicks everyone as well... and now its back to the stuck on game loading again...

[tropic harbor]

why when i join my own solo/offline map the game crashes/closes
also any dedicated server i try ( ive tried 2) we cant join them
im about ready to give up spent more time trying to get in a game than playing

[tribal oriole]

NVM.....

[full warren]

Hello all! My dedicated server went down, like others are reporting. It is back up now but everything not on my charater is gone. Base. Map is all shroud. I am.........annoyed LOL. I have been looking for ways to restore this. Inm my R5 folder, deeper down, under folder named the version number I see about 7 folders with world IDs.

PLEASE tell me I can do something to restore what I had

[still trail]

assuming you have some sort of backup, the R5 folder ServerDescription.json 'WorldIslandID' field is the folder you need to restore.

[full warren]

I tried that but then it changed in that JSON and created another one

It was A4FB59450345433B4193F386D5D4C293, I changed it to ACE52D4ACE6244A03A815D59F6F3758C then started the server and now its E49E5D2592374803638033380DF295F8

[still trail]

then you'll probably need to look through the WorldDescription.json of each to find the original by name.

[full warren]

What do I look for?

[still trail]

assuming it's generating them, the WorldName should only be unique on the one you made (if you named it)

or just go back in your backups until there's a single folder?

[tired ocean]

is p2p multiplayer working again? or is it still down?

[full warren]

I don't have backups. I am using Pterodactyl and just noticed backups were at 0

[still trail]

it's been back up, was only down for a few minutes

[full warren]

It appears to be creating a new worldID everytime it is turned off and started up again

[terse reef]

Our server has not connected yet. Not sure how widespread that is.

[still trail]

restart again, it doesn't seem to recheck while still up

definitely an oversight

[terse reef]

Hm. Yeah, ours isn't connecting. We were fine until it kicked everyone out, but now it won't complete the handshake to authorize the server. It checks for updates and then stops.

Last two lines we're getting:

Disconnected from Steam
Server install complete

Aaaand, we're back. Nothing done; just started working again.

[leaden lark]

Why cant i click on my server to join it? im up to date.

[stuck nexus]

I am running this game on 2 computers, my sons third computer will not even launch the game. It just cycles back to the play button on steam and never launches. I have updated graphics drivers, windows 10, and checked file integrity already. It is also allowed through the firewall.

@still trail

[lime topaz]

Share DXdiag report of the PC that has the issue.

[lime topaz]

Report it in #1493348541177794601 so the devs can confirm

[lime topaz]

Look this one up in a CPU database on TechPowerUp or on ark.intel.com

Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G4620 @ 3.70GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.7GHz

It probably doesn't support the AVX instruction set and thus will not be able to boot the game.

[weary burrow]

Has anyone encountered low fps near base camp cause mine get as low as 14 fps

[lime topaz]

Depends on how intricate your camp is and on which hardware.

[weary burrow]

Its just the start of a new game. All I have is a bon fire, 3 charcoal kilns and 2 smelters

I am at the first island that you start in

I have to be an island away to get some stable fps and Ive set the graphics resolution all to low

Yet in the demo I was getting higher than 60 even at base camp

By then I could build castles and get like 10 frames difference

[tribal oriole]

#🚧│tech-support message

I figured it out, it spawns 30 in your inventory, then 20 drops on the ground for some reason.

[lime topaz]

Oh.. max stack is 30 probably ?

[restive quail]

Even without that issue, it is almost 60% slower than the minimum hardware spec for the game.

[tribal oriole]

Yes, max stack is 30, but I had space for a 20 stack too, which is why I was left puzzled.

[weary burrow]

and it doesn't look like my gpu is being utilized properly

[lime topaz]

The kiln/smelter produce a demanding VFX so best not to have them around unless you need them.

But again, depends also on hardware as well as which exact settings you have.

Nvidia DLSS-FG is known to cause multiple issues in this game for example.

[restive quail]

What hardware setup do you have?

If you don't know, post the dxdiag output

[weary burrow]

4070 mobile gpu, 64 gb ddr4, 1tb ssd, i7 12th gen

[restive quail]

Ensure your fake E-Cores are disabled completely, or use software like ProcessLasso. Your CPU likely only has two usable CPU cores.

[sudden plume]

Hi everyone. My friends can join the server I created, but I can't join theirs; it keeps redirecting me to the main menu without giving an error message.

[weary burrow]

That doesn't explain why the demo was more stable compared to the early access

[restive quail]

Your GPU doesn't get used because your CPU is bottlenecking. Windoze doesn't allocate processes properly for the fake cores.

[lime topaz]

They are not really 1:1 identical, and the demo didn't have DLSS-FG either to my knowledge.

[restive quail]

Demo had a LOT less going on than the EA version.

Also probably had less optimization, so it was telling your hardware to put it on an E-Core. With better optimization, it isn't hitting a heavy load, so the stupid OS puts it on a useless core.

This is why Intel chips are crap since the 12th-Gen.

[weary burrow]

Is there a way to rectify this?

Ive looked into the bug reports and not one mention of low fps

[lime topaz]

Do you have DLSS or DLSS-FG enabled or ?

[weary burrow]

I disabled it and set everything on low and still the same resul

[lime topaz]

At which resolution you play ?

[weary burrow]

I swapped btw 1600 and 1920 with the same results

Much worse now after updating the drivers

[proper mural]

People get regular framedrops? It's not really that big of an issue to me but when I for example run through the jungle I get like 3s of good perf and then 1s of framedrops

[weary burrow]

Im hitting single digits

[proper mural]

Scrolling up, your issue is pretty similar to mine actually, because I get the framedrops when walking inside my hut. Did think it was the smelter/kiln at first too, because smoke effects are usually an fps killer

[proper mural]

Mine might actually be lower than that lol. It's weird because 'normally' my fps is fine (30+ at least)

[hollow ether]

anyone got fps problems today with the game? yesterday it runs fine with over 140+ and now it barly running with 50 fps

[weary burrow]

This is me in a cave after a min

[hollow compass]

Does anyone have any advice regarding the endless loading and inability to join or host a game?

[worthy nexus]

Are there server issues? Had a dedicated server going last night and now owner of server says he can’t get logged into the game

[still trail]

it did go down earlier, for a few minutes.

and mine didn't seem to auto-reconnect when the auth servers were working again, so if his restarted immediately on closing, it may still be stuck in that state and need another restart

[copper hawk]

does anyone have issues to connect to a hosted server i can see them but cant log in ?

[still trail]

that happened to me earlier and I had to restart my client

[sudden plume]

+1

[copper hawk]

i did it 4 times still cant connect but i see them

[sudden plume]

my friends join my server but I cant

[final karma]

my dedicated server has took 2+ hours to restart and wont force stop/start any help

[versed sorrel]

I saw the dev post on the steam forums about deleting your data and turning off cloud save. That didn't work for me. I assume this is a known bug and I'm just SOL until it's fixed?

[weary burrow]

This game is not utilizing my system resources properly and its always base camp which drops fps like crazy

[worthy nexus]

Is there a way to not lose your progress because it looks like our world reset again and we lost another base

[copper hawk]

this is what i see for the servers of my friends but cant connect

[still trail]

dedicated server or someone joining you?

[worthy nexus]

Like the achievements are there but the camp is not

It’s a dedicated server

[still trail]

then I can't recommend enough looking through their settings and seeing how to set up a backup (or schedule them yourself if you're self-hosting)

you're not the first that's run into that issue, but I haven't seen a fix for it yet. backups are your best bet.

[indigo blade]

been three days now and still can tload the game, tried all fixes as well

[worthy nexus]

Thanks appreciate it. He’s looking into it now. Happened yesterday too

We were making decent progress too. 😂😂😂

[sleek glacier]

cant get the game to load on startup... this is really frustrating

it just sticks at the loading screen

[indigo blade]

same mcgyver jus sits loading forever

played the demo no problem as well

[worthy nexus]

And I thought my fps was bad

[sleek glacier]

i didnt have this issue until last night

[manic sand]

refreshed as simple restart ?

[indigo blade]

I got in on launch day played fine and since then i cant even load the game up, just sits in the laoding screen.

[polar breach]

my fps sits at 60 and server fps at 30 seems fine for me

summoning the pig pet caused a lot of lag tho

[sudden arrow]

As in we had to completely remake it

[modern wing]

this is with Skyeserve hosting

[versed sorrel]

Does anyone know the dedicated servers default difficulty, or where to change it? I'm self hosting.

[still trail]

R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/0.10.0/Worlds/[world]/WorldDescription.json

[hearty escarp]

how do you get those stats to show?

[versed sorrel]

Tyvm.

Is "Medium" High sees?

[modern wing]

settings general show gameplay statics

[hearty escarp]

[still trail]

for defaults look in DedicatedServer.md, in the server's root

there's examples of each preset

[versed sorrel]

You're amazing tyvm.

Odd, my partner in the same room as me can connect from her PC but I get infinte loading screened.

[lone oxide]

Hey guys. I must be doing something wrong because both Co-Op and dedicated servers are significantly laggy sometimes even taking a whole second to react to inputs. and I didnt have this issue during the demo.

game is installed on an SSD and I have gig fiber so not a hw or network issue

has anybody else experiance this?

[honest juniper]

Lots of people are, it’s the relays and relay selection

[finite barn]

typed this in another chat as well but not a lot of activity there, is there any way to increase the in game text size? It is very small and I have a detached retina making it very brurry and hard to see. I need it at least half larger than it is. Getting close to the screen i see color blind and intensity accessibility options but nothing for text size. Is there a way to ask devs or are there any mods to address this?

[vestal quiver]

What happened to the feedback channel? I assume too many posts?😅

[restive quail]

Curious, what resolution is your monitor?

Also, I think a probably good workaround would be to set the game to a smaller resolution, and let your GPU upscale it.

[slim mango]

Why is DLSS FG not working?

I have to use FSR FG along with my DLSS

[finite barn]

1920x1080 scaled at 150%

[versed sorrel]

Yeah I've done the save deletion recommended by devs, and disabled cloud saves. Worked for my partner in the same room to connect to my self hosted dedicated server. But my client gets stuck in an infinite loading screen.

[lone oxide]

is there a fix for this?

[restive quail]

Your OS scaling won't affect a lot of software like games. I would set the game to 720P then and let the GPU upscale it to 1080.

[finite barn]

ok will give it a try, ty

[viral plaza]

Can't find tortuga on my map after finding it on a friend's world? Can't restart quest to get a marker on my world map! Please help??

I can connect and do the tutorial, but not play the game.

[worn quartz]

Please tell me, when I try to log into a rented server, I'm thrown to the main screen and that's all, what could be the problem?

[versed sorrel]

Having the same issue with a self hosted server.

[hybrid briar]

I'm a little late but have you found anything on this? Curious if there's any update or if this is confirmed bug?

• Host: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (6C/12T)
• Server: Windrose dedicated server running on Ubuntu 22.04
• Empty: 2 CPU threads pinned at 99.9% (the UE5 GameThread — confirmed via top -H, ~287 min accumulated CPU time in a few hours). Host temps hit
  89–92°C.
• With even 1 player connected: GameThread drops to single digits. Host temps settle at ~70°C.
• Stopping just the Windrose server drops host temp ~20°C within seconds.

Other people having similar experiences in discord community.
I5-12600k showing similar usage, but not a temp increase like mine.

[restive quail]

There is a thread on this. One sec I'll get the link.

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1493727563678482472

Our 3900X isn't doing it as bad, but it is holding a steady 8.5% CPU when idle.

[hybrid briar]

good to know, my workaround for now is to expose an api call to start the server and have it auto shutdown when active user = 0.
definitely not ideal, just wanted to make sure that made it to the devs thanks for that link ❤️

[hasty apex]

you have to give the game access to the internet, it should do a popup when you log in to a server

[frail dagger]

the games just poorly optimized, not an issue with your pc/server, just optimization

[umbral carbon]

anyone else have dedicated server crashes for "out of memory"?

[honest juniper]

yes, for at least a few of teh contributing causes and i've reported them in another channel - they're not easy for users to apply, but quite easy in teh game code

[lone oxide]

Would you mind linking me to them?

Когда заходишь в инвентарь то генерация кадров dlss выключается, а когда выходишь из инвентаря то она опять включаеться, но в этот момент игра очень сильно пролагивает, с fsr такой проблемы нет, он работает даже в инвентаре и не выключается

[sudden arrow]

nvm we are back to being able to play on my server, but every time a 3rd person try to log in the server crash 😄

[honest juniper]

the short version fo the most major issue in the r5 connection code is the stun bindings being set by doing gethostname() then getaddrinfo(hostname) then using the resulting ip to bind. on multi-homed systems this will often result in the wrong interface being bound to, preventing the udp hole punching from working, causing the falling back to relays. the fix in the game would be simple, use an unspec bind and connect(2) to get a local address bind, which is the traditional and portable method to get that reflexive address without having to understand the routing topology. the quick hack for linux hosts is to edit /etc/hosts to contain an entry for the hostname pointing at the hosts lan ip that's hosting the default ipv4 route. the hack might also work on windows for that issue, but i've not brought up a vm to test yet

[wild garden]

you can use https://windrose.tools/map to show your full map, and it will show Tortuga as a marker

[dreamy bay]

Anyone got resources for running the server in a Linux docker?

[vocal epoch]

Please solve unlimited loading when host start.

[lost matrix]

Get started with Docker on linux here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTmyNHTQ0AA
You don't need to watch after the docker desktop part

[lost matrix]

Here is the docker I'm using:
https://github.com/indifferentbroccoli/windrose-server-docker

git clone https://github.com/indifferentbroccoli/windrose-server-docker.git
cd windrose-server-docker
mv .env.example .env
nano .env (make changes, :wq to quit)
docker compose up -d

[mighty thorn]

hey guys, when me nd my friend want play together, he cant join me, unexpected error apears, when he wants join my session, and he cant host game bcs when he want to start hosting, it instantly throw him in main menu back, any solutions? Thanks

[lost matrix]

Alternative docker is this one, but I haven't tried it. Good documentation though.
https://github.com/indifferentbroccoli/windrose-server-docker.git

[lost matrix]

he can try running protonvpn and see if that works. Free

[dreamy bay]

Thanks @lost matrix

[mighty cradle]

"an unexpected error occurred " was fixed?

[haughty breach]

sooo im new and my friend and i try to play but we cant connect to our host game. is there a solution?

[unreal anvil]

hi how can i upload a older world after my world got grieft ?

[outer prism]

My friend keeps on trying to join/ host a game online with myself and 2 others. The 3 of us can join, but she just gets in a loading screen. Doesn't matter if she hosts or not.

[cunning dock]

Same here

[timid marsh]

You can try my docker container, using it for last couple of days

https://github.com/UberDudePL/windrose-dedicated-server-docker

And few other people confirmed that it is working for them as well

Some people reported running a vpn can get around it. protonvpn is free

For anyone else running into a crash to desktop when loading into a game no matter the game or character, this happened to me after an initial CDT and I was unable to play. Even making a new character I could play through the intro but loading into the island crashed. I had to locate my graphic config files and remove them letting the game rebuild them at C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\Config\Windows. Remove or rename the config files here and re-launch.

[unreal anvil]

i can not finde player report i wanna report a player in this chanel what grieft me and other peoples

[silver radish]

how to enable text chat?

[cloud pier]

there is no chatt function ingame yet

[silver radish]

There was just no way to post to ask/request about it, cant do it in general, just get flooded out with jibber jabber an images, no FAQ about it, ping'n a Dev generaly is a no no, ping'n a mod about it is like just about as bad of an idea, so i figured ask'n fer tech support on how to Enable it an maybe get seen by some one who can post some kinda status on that area of the game would best serve here.

Stuck in infinite loading screen today. Can’t play at all

#💬│windrose-chat message

they said something about a server issue

[midnight nimbus]

Hallo ich habe einen Server gemietet aber ich komme nicht drauf, bzw wenn ich drauf komme fliege ich gleich wieder, gportal meinte ich soll hier fragen, das hatte ich noch nie in einen anderen Spiel, im Router habe ich die dns auch schon geändert aber das bringt nichts, hat jemand Ideen

[dense willow]

is the feedback channel hidden for everyone or did I somehow get shadow banned from there?

[unreal slate]

Has the constant crashing been addressed yet? I cant host a multiplayer map without getting booted as soon as I log in

[regal juniper]

it's gone for me too, maybe they took it down to work on some of the issues there?

[dense willow]

yea I was just told its down for a while

was worried I got shadow banned xD

[regal juniper]

doubt you would unless you really badmouthed the game, or people playing it.

[dense willow]

I did have a bit of a heated discussion that went on for a while, but no name calling or disrespect, this was just as heated it got lol

So I thought maybe they thought I broke some rules based on that lol

[zinc cobalt]

Guys - I have a bit of an issue. I'm hosting a dedicated server on a separate computer in my network using Docker. My friends externally can join with the invite code, however, I cannot join my own server, the game just crashes to the main menu. Is there any way to troubleshoot this?

[dense willow]

you should bug report that if you havent

sounds really strange

maybe you can join with a vpn? lol

[keen shuttle]

I've posted a few times about my issue to little fanfare haha. So the only thing that has worked for me. I made a togglable script around "sudo cpupower frequency-set -u 4400MHz" my cpu can boost to 4.9ghz. So now when I play Windrose I hit the toggle and dont go above 73c, then when im done and want to play any other game at all, I turn the toggle off and play with my full speed available to me.

[leaden lark]

Cant click on my server to even attempt to join it.

[normal arrow]

I was able to play Windrose on a private server until 2 days ago and it stopped being able to log in, it just constantly returns to the menu screen. I've verified files, and completely reinstalled. Is there something else I can do? I've verified that the server is up and others are on it

[spark grail]

hello is anyone having issue where can't join friends or host game at all only play solos?

[spark grail]

same here can't join game only solos

[leaden lark]

yup same here

[normal arrow]

What happened? It was going so well

[spark grail]

it was working yesterday now its not

[leaden lark]

ever since the server shutdown at like 3am today i havent been able to reconnect to servers

[spark grail]

I tried my phone internet and it worked but can't play all day on mobile data

I hope this get fixed if not then I want refund

[dense willow]

get a good vpn, most have 30 days free

if it worked on your mobile it would most likely work on a vpn

Nordvpn is great

[spark grail]

I have one it tried everything and didn't work yester day used vpn today vpn didn't work

[dense willow]

hm that is strange, deffinly something you should report if you havent

[spark grail]

yeah when I connect to a game the game shuts down

[digital drift]

Anyone else seeing strange RAM increase over time? 🤔 Just sanity checking before I submit a report ~

On one of the servers im monitoring, over the course of about 5 hours the server with 2 players online went from on boot using about 5.8GB and by the end of 5 hours was @ 8 ~ Increasing this further to 10gb still had the growth to cap happen

*Some growth is expected, but at 2 players not in endgame eating as much as 4 feels off 👀 *

[brittle adder]

Hi, facing the same issues as lots of people : First launch was successful, I then left and reconnected hours later and once trying to join the same server and I end up in a loading screen for what seems the eternity, waited over 10mins for nothing to happen

Tried the steam on/off cloud/delete savesfiles to relaunch on a new char but faced the same result

[south ether]

Did you find a solution? Im also at the loading screen/

[vital wharf]

Hi nei mir im lager wird kein john doe, Doktor Gehlen etc mehr angezeigt nach dem ich das feuer umplaziert habe

[solid acorn]

Not seen anything to bad with ours.

Had a few customers running since day 1 and at the moment the highest we have running is 5.69gb and thats with 3 players on and pretty established bases etc

[digital drift]

Interesting.. May be save specific then?

[solid acorn]

Idle CPU useage is the big one at the moment xD

[digital drift]

Will do some testing, thanks for the clarification! ❤️

[solid acorn]

Got me checking through all our servers now xD

[digital drift]

Sanity check, is Skye Windows or Linux based?

Just wanna check if this is somehow Proton/Wine misplaying w/ gc or somethin

[solid acorn]

hmmm so not that..

Hi, me and my friends hav a dedicated server. all but me can join... i keep getting this error. i tried to make an hotspot with my phone and it still gave me the error. so it's not my internet....

[unreal slate]

Doesn't seem to be like any of these issues are being addressed. Going to see about getting a steam refund.

[solid acorn]

I know there are a few support tickets open for people in a similar situation at the moment. Haven't trawled through to see if solutions yet though

[unreal slate]

There isnt hasnt been. Ive looked. Im also on linux. Just got asked to send a dump but id rather getrefunded at this point. Might be the worst early access experience ive ever had.

[normal arrow]

I was able to get in by using the Cloudfare Warp

[neon ginkgo]

I get this error at times when i start the game.

[manic magnet]

@neon ginkgo
Run System File Checker (SFC) and DISM: Open Command Prompt as administrator and run sfc /scannow to repair damaged files

or you can choose to disable that warning and play the game normally
In services.msc, you can set the "Windows Error Reporting Service" to disabled, though this is not recommended as it hides system issues

[lapis swan]

Anyone run into a bug where all discoveries and journal entries disappear?

[iron ridge]

Then you do not buy EA very often. Also most games do not support Linux especially on the first week. People are trying to help but seem you do not want help just permission to leave. Good Bye, Good Luck........If you pay attention you would see this team is working very very hard to clean things up. The response from Devs in the #1493364524705775657 channel has been top knotch that I saw. Seconds after a thread is created devs are in there to at leat let the person know they have been seen. Find a AAA game that has that level of support.

[unreal slate]

"Most games do not support linux" my steam library says otherwise.

Like the game was working for hours then suddenly stopped working when hosting a multiplayer game. It legit makes zero sense.

[iron ridge]

Going based on what I have seen. I know for a Fact that Icarus is one of those games. So run off that is fine but to say that things are not being addressed is a LIE. I am not going to sit here and allow that without speaking up. So refund and good bye. Clearly you do not want to support development you just want to complain.
Conversation is over so please leave it be okay. Good luck to you.

[unreal slate]

You have issues

[iron ridge]

I will never get the people that buy EA but do not want to support the game. Glad the Block Button exists. I am out for now guys. SP works without a flaw, MP usually is more complicated with nearly every game out there that started in EA.

And respect the kitty.....never cross a black cat, even a mostly black cat. HEHEHE HEHEHE

I'm really confused as to what the issues is going on here, not one of my customers has had any issues with connection. Is anyone answering as to what the problem actually is? Is this something us other hosting companies have to watch for?

Thank you 🙂

[unborn idol]

For the quest "How My Sea Adventure Began: Destroy Blackbeard's pirates' ketch, is there a command or a config file to edit to complete the quest for myself? Before having to research, we assumed Shared Quest was simply that and did not have Tracking turned on and we took both our ships out to destroy the ketch and one player got the rewards and the quest was marked completed. I however got a long # maybe 7 or 9ish characters long pop up on the lower left hand side of my screen then go away and was given some Piastre only and the quest remains incomplete. I went and did the quest solo a second time and still no completion of the quest. I am hosting the game and other member connecting via LAN.

[lucid basin]

Anyone try out mods on dedicated servers yet?

[craggy compass]

I can’t join the game with my friends. I bought the game on Epic Games, while they are playing through Steam, and when I try to connect, it sends me back to the main menu. What could be the reason? Is there any official or knowledgeable person who can help with this issue?

We’re trying to join using a room code. The game is sold as multiplayer, so why does it redirect us to rent or purchase a server?

[cunning idol]

hello nitrado support could you help me please my server is restarting in a loop since i change the settings ,my id nitrado is : 11078374

[clear orchid]

It's something the devs need to fix

Recommend trying to see if your friend can join your server and if so, host it yourself until they fix

[lucid basin]

search for your issue in #1493364524705775657

[craggy compass]

Unfortunately, neither of us can join each other’s servers.

[manic magnet]

maybe try using google DNS
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

[cold talon]

I'm on the ship where I picked up the food supplies that the undead were guarding. I died twice on the ship, but my things are not there, neither on the deck nor in the hold nor in the water.

[stable frost]

same cant jjoin or host and dns fix doesnt works

[craggy compass]

Don’t sell the game as multiplayer when we can’t even play together. There’s no one even addressing the issue, and then you wonder why people leave negative reviews.

bllsh*t

[void rampart]

We play together just fine. Maybe troubleshoot your end before you blame the game.

[fluid wren]

Has anyone encountered not being able to load into your game when you host a co op? Or having an infinite loading screen trying to load into a friends hosted game? Playing solo is perfectly fine but the moment my friend tries to host or join any sort of mp, its just infinite loading screen

[craggy compass]

Everyone is having issues—if you’re the only one who can join, congratulations. Then refund our money and you can keep playing, kid.

[polar breach]

me and my friends playing just fine on our server, maybe you got poop internet

[craggy compass]

We tried everything, man. Unfortunately, nothing is working.

[void rampart]

Not everyone, just those that try to do something technical over their heads Son 🙂

[craggy compass]

k

[polar breach]

If you tried everything then you'd be playing, you're obviously missing something. Game worked fine on release date and has worked fine since then even after the update.

[violet lance]

It’s a mix of players being able to and not. They are looking into it. You bought an early access game, let them fix bugs as they come, it’s not gonna be flawless from day one.

[craggy compass]

The game kicks us back to the main menu when trying to connect. Unfortunately, we’ve tried everything that’s been suggested.

[polar breach]

that on a local hosted game or a dedi host?

[craggy compass]

Local

[polar breach]

i havn't messed with local hosted but I assume its either something with ports or something conflicting with windows like nitrado had going on

i just use rented server a lot easier xd

[void rampart]

I don't envy the guys doing the trouble shooting. Just imagine how many variations these people that are having issues have on each of their computers. Could be hundreds of different programs they have installed, drivers they're using for other apps, firewalls, etc.

[polar breach]

yeah it was fun troubleshooting the servers creating whole new maps each time they rebooted after the latest update XD

it wasnt saving its worldID

[latent sphinx]

So the performance of the game has degraded since the update yeaterday, constant lag hiccups and outright stops for ten/twenty secojnds at a time, any ideas?

[granite tusk]

hi im having a issue i cant join my friend just get server not found or unexpcted error was working fine yesterday & i also cant host a game

[polar breach]

i have noticed random spikes of low fps but other than that its not too bad

i get it maybe once every 10-20 minutes

it's always client side as well server fps stays fine

[latent sphinx]

So we are in coop its not as bad with the single player, but it is there still, what happened dos anyone know?

[manic magnet]

@latent sphinx devs should fix this
what you can do from your side:
set fps cap to 60 it will reduce stutter spikes significantly
and toggle vsync off

[void rampart]

TBH, the whole P2P thing as a multiplayer platform is sketchy in the first place. Servers and clients shouldn't really be on the same box. Grounded solved this some what by using a third party to save/share the save files for game sessions

[willow tide]

Was wondering where do saves get saved to in file manager?

Am wanting to move my save to a server

[manic magnet]

@willow tide in here
C:\Users[user]\AppData\Local\R5\Saved

[latent sphinx]

Overall that hasn't been an issue for us until the update. I know a lot of people were having issues but we were smooth sailing now this

[willow tide]

what type of file is it?

[void rampart]

They can be opened with notepad or any text editor

[manic magnet]

they pushed a hotfix for a few issues, and this fix may have caused other issues, because you're right this started happening after the update (happened to me too) i made it alot better only by capping fps and disabling vsync

[willow tide]

I mean where would I find the world in that folder?

[manic magnet]

sec

[void rampart]

.vdf isn't it? Cant remember

[willow tide]

Is the world under save games?

can all thats in there is enchancedinput

[manic magnet]

that's the steam cloud sync metadata (not your actual progress)

[granite tusk]

why can my friends join the sever nut i cant i just get unecpected error

[void rampart]

Jus use the Windows key and R then paste this in %LOCALAPPDATA%\R5

[willow tide]

yes im in R5 in the file manager, im just trying to find the acutal world so I can upload it to a server

is it R5>saved>savedprofiles>76561198101719840>rocksdb>0.10.0> worlds?

[manic magnet]

i'm guessing that you need the saved file for your world you can find it in here
C:\Users(user)\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\76561198412860777\RocksDB\0.10.0\Worlds

[manic magnet]

yes

[willow tide]

they did not make this easy

[manic magnet]

if you already created a world in a dedicated server, i'd recommend just copying all the files inside worlds (in your local) and pasting them inside the worlds folder in the dedicated server

[willow tide]

alright, im using Nitrado, and at least right now theres nothing in the FTP

[grave kite]

Servers down again? Edit: Scratch that

[keen bear]

entschuldigt das ich kein englisch schreibe ist nicht so das beste) ich musste in meiner Fritzbox die Ports freischalten,dann ging das auch mit dem connecten auf den Server. Wir haben einen Server bei Gportal. Steamcloud hab ich deaktiviert.

[willow tide]

right so I tried to upload the world but it didnt seem to work, any suggestions?

[steady viper]

Having multiplayer issues can’t set up or join servers.
I have changed dns
Any ideas please.

[still trail]

what you're looking for is going to be in R5\Saved\SaveProfiles, select your profile, then go to RocksDB\0.10.0\Worlds

it's the entire folder there

[willow tide]

yep I got it now

[shut ridge]

didnt work server connection with friend

he tryis

but dont

[willow tide]

I cant connect to my server either

wish we could just put in Ips

[shut ridge]

well I connect to my but friekbd cant

[solid acorn]

No troubleshooting here, all my customers playing fine xD

I'm just here cus us small hosts like to watch the big hosts squirm sometimes xD

Fatal Error AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-Core Processor 32.0 GB Ram 9070xt black screen crash playing on mostly maxed settings at 1440p

[fresh kernel]

i can not play game when i get in its so slow and my character is white and takes so long to load and freezes and game is choppy

[minor harbor]

Do you have thermal paste on your computer?

[quaint shell]

Do most people usually have to port forward to connect with other players?

[still trail]

wouldn't work on windrose, it changes ports randomly each time

got a server running on the network, and play it with friends and direct connecting to others without forwarding anything

[quaint shell]

Ok thank you my sibling and I trying find why we crash when we join each other on steam decks

[final ember]

The same thing is happening to me!!!

[teal bobcat]

Has anyone had an issue of a dedicated server not launching? Launching the bat file shows the cmd window for just a half second and then disappears. In task manager I see the bootstrap launch and immediately close. Nothing else happens and no logs that I can see. Even if I open the terminal and run the bat file, there is no output

The server is running in a Windows 10 VM

[tender hound]

dedicated just crashed a second time

[atomic glen]

Same thing. Same error for many people.

[umbral python]

Are there any plans to add support for a Linux dedicated server? No Wine or Box64 required

[sturdy spindle]

Same thing on my VM, No outputs no logs written. Starting WindroseServer.exe directly also fails.
I just tried to set it up via Wine on a mint vm but that also does not seem to work.

[atomic glen]

Guys there was a small update. And since then nothing works.

[hollow lichen]

Can you tell me if a cooperative is working?

[still trail]

vague question. in general, yes. some people are having issues, and they're going to be here... lol.

[teal bobcat]

When was the update?

[sturdy spindle]

Ah that explains that part then, ty

[teal bobcat]

I just installed for the first time yesterday and had the issue

[wooden agate]

anyone have audio issues? specifically when sailing and listening to shanties?

[sturdy spindle]

But... wait... Freshly installed Windrose Dedicated Server runs on my main machine

[still trail]

if you're doing it in linux, launch the actual executable directly

/R5/Binaries/Win64/WindroseServer-Win64-Shipping.exe

[teal bobcat]

W10 VM seeing this issue

[still trail]

was responding to the wine/mint part

running ubuntu server and just raw with wine/xvfb/screen and no issues before or after update

[south ether]

How do i get past the loading screen?

[sturdy spindle]

Any special wine setup on your end? Is your setup headless?

[still trail]

wine64 and winetricks win10

and yes, headless

[sturdy spindle]

ok ill look into it some more, ty for the pointers

[still trail]

actual launch command is just screen xvfb-run --auto-servernum wine /home/windrose/server/R5/Binaries/Win64/WindroseServer-Win64-Shipping.exe -log

[sturdy spindle]

oh, i see framebuffer might actually help

[south ether]

How do i get past the loading screen?

[rapid cliff]

Do we have a way to somehow host the dedicated server without the windrose backend?

[rugged rose]

Played on a friends server last night with no issue. Today I choose the server, put password in, join it goes to map screen then never puts me in the game and sends me back out to the play screen. I see no patch that might have happened. Is there something in the R5.log file that might tell me why I can't get in?

[south ether]

How do i get past the loading screen?

[solid acorn]

Join the 100's of other players waiting for the fix

[violet lance]

A lot of people have this, kraken express is having issues with internet providers blocking their services in certain regions, so when you join their windrose relay server cant route your client to the end server.

[solid acorn]

Do we know what regions? Our HO is here in Ireland and we fine, I have customers in the US and Europe playing fine

[violet lance]

Not sure if they have said anything about regions. I am in Denmark and run a self hosted server and have had the problem since around 20.00 local time.

[solid acorn]

Hmm odd, I have 2 customers in Denmark specifically running fine

I'll give them the heads up anyways just in case 😅

[still trail]

problem from what I've gathered is that they're blocking some of the servers used for the routing

so even in areas impacted, it's not everyone that sees it

[rugged rose]

My friends is being hosted by Survival servers, not self hosted. I am in the US, I assume he created it in the US as well

[mystic vine]

Sad there's no way past the relay having the server rack next to my pc and being in the hundreds in ping isn't ideal lol.

[violet lance]

Im looking at my server right next to me as well 😅 cant remember where in the long list of support threads i read it but there was some talk about looking into/working on ip connection

[mystic vine]

The thought of the packets running from my gaming pc through the wire to my router, all the way to the EU and back to australia through the same router to my server isn't very playable lmfao, Australian internet sucks generally this doesn't help.

[manic magnet]

anyone faced the inifinite loading screen and fixed it?

[storm canyon]

Im getting the same thing

[storm canyon]

It took about 25 or 30 mins of that, then it finally came back up.

[atomic glen]

It has been 2 hours.

[finite sentinel]

the range from the basic enemy sailor is broken ,it has way to much range, also crew mates only block my hits but the enemy can pierce through my crew and hit me even if i stand 2m away and 2 or more crew mates stand infront of me, enemy ignores hitbox from my mates, there is no normal sea fight possable. On the higher lvl with faster enemy and perfekt blocking enemys, no dubble handed weapon is usable because those weapons are way to slow

[sturdy spindle]

Got it to start after changing the CPU type to host in proxmox, seems like wine was unhappy with the emulated instruction sets

[finite sentinel]

if u stand on the small boot u get sucked in the enemy ship if it crashes you

[elfin apex]

anyone else get randomly kicked off their server and have it been stuck on restarting for like 15-20 minutes

[unreal fox]

I can't play the game online, even on my own server.

[elfin apex]

oh wow

[finite sentinel]

no online issues here we use gportal sever

[unreal fox]

I cannot create a server and I cannot join another server.

[finite sentinel]

The enemy can strike through the mast and on land through stone

also can the enemy strike througjh the deck of the shil

[ebon gull]

I can't load into my sever, how long will it take to fix?

its been 4 hrs

[finite sentinel]

change ini data

[toxic abyss]

I'm having an issue with the quest called needle in a haystack. I was supposed to board the ship called the unsinkable however I accidentally destroyed it and it's not respawning and the quest isn't updating

[finite sentinel]

to standard settings with zero changes

[lime topaz]

The Not-So-Unsinkable

I believe there's a bug report about it already

[toxic abyss]

So am I stuck? I don't wanna restart i grinded alot

[iron mica]

Everyday at 8pm CST my server shuts down and restarts for no reason, I do not have an automated restart timer set for that... what is going on Nitrado???

[iron mica]

someone told me that there are Nitrado reps in this chat, and i'd really like to know why it keeps doing this...

[tired otter]

i cant load the game and my friend have the same probleme

[lime topaz]

Create a support thread #1493364524705775657
They can be pinged in there.

[plucky hazel]

this has been constant and I can not pinpoint it

[lime topaz]

Make a #1493364524705775657 thread

[plucky hazel]

I actually found it .... I will be making a bug report this is a memory leak, it looks like

[cold tide]

Heyall! A buddy just gifted me the game, and I'd really like to play with him, but while I can play solo no problem, whenever I try to host a game or join his game the loading screen just never ends. Anyone else encounter this and can help? Thanks!

[regal birch]

Goodevening gamers, I just bought the game on steam. But not getting it to start up for me. Anyone else having this problem?

[nova fable]

Hi i am having this issue:

Game client: 22823373
Dedicated server: 22823173

The difference is subtle — 373 vs 173 — but that's a newer client build that your server hasn't received yet. The game got a patch that the dedicated server app hasn't caught up to.
This is likely a developer-side delay where they pushed a client hotfix but haven't updated the dedicated server app on Steam yet. Given it just launched into Early Access last week and they've been pushing rapid hotfixes, this is pretty common.```

I can't use my weapons rn until this is fixed, hmm...

[past pumice]

Mine initially crashed at start whenever I used msi afterburner with riva tuner. If you have that on, try quitting the app

[mystic vine]

I hope for my own sanity that's not an Ai summary at the bottom, Try updating your server ours is fine at the moment it's just unplayable without lag due to routing issues.

[devout river]

Are there widespread issues again? Game keeps crashing for me out of nowhere.

[hot fox]

Game keeps kicking us back to main menu on login

[tropic lava]

Same here

[desert frigate]

is there any setting to make it so my mouse doesnt go off onto my second monitor while playing. tried putting it on fullscreen and didnt change anything so randomly will end up clicking out

[hot fox]

I'm curious how this is happening with dedicated servers lmao

[tropic lava]

Perhaps its the dedicated server version mismatch? Just checking in with people that owns the server I'm in if there was an update on that side

[devout river]

I restarted the game a few times and the server app and I’m back up. Not sure if anyone else was randomly having issues just now.

[thorn patio]

Hello - I am running a self-hosted server on a VM via Pterdactyl Panel. Each ime I try to connect to it, I'm booted back to the main menu.

This issue only occurs when connecting to the server from the same LAN. Players outside of my home network can connect without issue.

Anyone else experiencing this?

[devout river]

I’m connecting to my server on the same LAN successfully. I haven’t had anyone test it externally but it’s all open.

Frankly, I have no idea how an invite code can give out a LAN and WAN ip address lol

[royal venture]

Anyone have a solution for this crash? Its only happening when a 3rd player tries to join a hosted server. It doesnt matter who it is, it always crashes when a 3rd player joins

[devout river]

I lied I’m still not able to get it running consistently. I was playing fine for 12 or so hours

[polar breach]

thats me today ;l time for a nap lol spent all day goofin around building a new house

[summer flower]

I'm reading through the dedicated server guide on the website, and it's saying there's no dedicated ports being used, and is rather done via UPnP. Am I just misunderstanding this, or is this game server unable to be ran via port forwarding?

Wait, I think I've answered my own question if someone wants to verify. Port forwarding isn't needed since there's no direct join and is done instead via join codes, right?

[nova fable]

there is a mod to have direct ports, but it requires unofficial setup

[slate apex]

anyone using nitrado and running into issues at the moment?

[nova fable]

well the dedicated server steamcmd files aren't up to date

[woven cloud]

Question anyone using Nitrdo hosting and have infinity loop resets after the patch today that was pushed?
got a group of people been trying to figure it out so far nothing.

[nova fable]

its new give it some time ig

[remote verge]

yeah pretty much everyone

[woven cloud]

gotcha.

[remote verge]

seems like its a windrose backend issue, id recommend playing on a player hosted world

[jagged crow]

im in the same boat

[thorn patio]

Correct.

[cold tide]

Problem! I can play solo no problem but whenever I try to host a game or join my friend the loading screen just never ends. Anyone else encounter this and can help? Thanks!

[north axle]

Holy crap I’m so happy I’m not going crazy I thought I was doing something wrong

[slate apex]

yeah man, really frustrating

[fresh kernel]

i can;t even play the game so laggy and choppy

[nova fable]

same here, for those with the infinite loading screen, i had to get rid of ddos settting on my server ,but that is a werid workaround specific for m e

[slate apex]

looks like it is up?

[nova fable]

lot of ports to open through firewall, but it seems to use its own port pnp thingy

[vocal wadi]

If i have hosted a game localy/played solo, If I want that save file on a server hosting site, can that be done?

[slate apex]

can yalll try, looks like it's better

[jagged crow]

it automatically started restarting again

[slate apex]

gotcha, mine is currently running

[granite ravine]

Am i doing something wrong? I have 34 stone ammo it is in my ammo slot-
Flintlock pistol saysss I don't have any ammo what

[shut owl]

Do you have gun powder

[marble reef]

you got gunpowder?

[granite ravine]

Ooooh

[small pulsar]

what server options can I config? im lookin for a file for config and am not seeing much

[granite ravine]

Hehe makes sense kay thanks bye

[mystic vine]

I had an issue like that earlier had to box my ammo, powder & gun and reequip it and it counted it again.

[undone cliff]

I am trying to connect to a friend's server. We have the correct invite code and password. We have all done the tutorial, we have all verified game files. I cannot connect. Any suggestions?

[summer flower]

Nitrado hosting? Been seeing people have problems with it

[marble reef]

is it hosted by nitrado by anychance?

[undone cliff]

No it is GTX

[summer flower]

Probably the same issue, tbh

[marble reef]

i'd say go ask for help on their discord but they're about as responses as the other hosts

though GTX have always responded fairly quickly to their own ticket system maybe give that a try @undone cliff

[mystic vine]

Damn I haven't heard of GTX since they got partnered up with space engineers years back glad to see they're still going lol

[devout river]

I don’t think it was a hosting provider issue. I self host and I was having issues too

[summer flower]

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

Look here for the world options. You have to set them in the WorldDescription.json file. The "Advanced" section of the guide shows all the available settings

[woven cloud]

unironically there more active here in #1493364524705775657 then there own discord.

[marble reef]

it's wild isnt it

i did tell everoyne in nitrado to come here instead

[woven cloud]

valid

[marble reef]

bunch of the nitrado support here have been non stop helping from what i've seen all day

barely a peep on their own discord

[woven cloud]

well ngl, i was told by the end of the week there will be some good hosting options so ill prob ditch Nitrado.

[mystic vine]

honestly a good idea wish more server hosts put in that effort

oh god support is all nitrado related posts lmao

[woven cloud]

games new and all stuff happneds but its hard to even get support or even a site notice there are issues with a new game they are offering to host is crazy.

[marble reef]

i think a quick announcement would of solved alot of the chaos

[woven cloud]

agreed.

[marble reef]

been happening what 12+ hours for some people

[woven cloud]

since 10am PST, its 9pm.

[marble reef]

Rough

[woven cloud]

yea more so when the server has been crashing a few times over the last 2days prior.

new game, EA, stuff happens all good.
communicate with your clients.

[summer flower]

Can confirm that SteamCMD has the latest files. Just had one of the guys test the connection and it's working fine

[small pulsar]

is there a setting to change the max fast travel points?

[summer flower]

Not that I'm seeing

[small pulsar]

big sad

[summer flower]

That doesn't necessarily mean there isn't one - I'm just not seeing it so far

Seems to just be limited to the scaling and difficulty for now

[marble reef]

i see a mod for it on nexus but dont think nitrado support mods atm

[mystic vine]

someone mentioned a unofficial way or mod involving port forwarding earlier could you send me a link to that ._.

[summer flower]

I have a custom firewall setup that everything on my network goes through, and I didn't have to set anything for it to work. Throwing that out there in case it matters to you

I normally have to go through firewall rules pretty extensively to host servers, but this one was the fastest setup for a hosted game I think I've ever had

[zenith pier]

Anyone have a resolution for the server infinite restart loop? Or just wait for support..

[marble reef]

Nothing so far sorry

so far the only thing they've said is to load a backup file but that hasnt worked out for anyone i've seen so far

[somber lichen]

Mine just keeps going to the main screen after loading. and then when i hit Play again and then go to connect to server its there but not highlighted where i can click on it

[zenith pier]

Yeah no clue.. tried different things and been waiting for 2 hrs for there support to look at it I guess

[mystic vine]

I was more looking for a way around having the unnecessary routing through Europe from Australia for the server hosted on my server rack no less than 2 metres away from me lmao

[summer flower]

It may just be a server mod to force a particular port to be used. You'd have to check and see if there's a client-sided mod to allow joining specific IPs/ports. Otherwise you're still stuck using a join code to join the server

[urban scroll]

anyone getting major server lag? im having to press crafting button multiple times to craft anything

[summer flower]

I'm told mine is fine right now. Might be worth a server restart?

[mystic vine]

let me guess dedicated server?

[urban scroll]

ya im using gportal

[mystic vine]

I don't know much about that host all I know is most hosts are subpar when it comes to performance but if your servers resources look fine then it's probably the routing issue that everyone has atm just gotta wait for a fix

[lime topaz]

They are.

[summer flower]

Mine is hosted on a residential ISP, so I want to say the likelihood of it being exclusively a routing issue is somewhat low, and will be dependent on ISP for something like that

[summer flower]

Confirmed. I only just hosted mine as of around the time that comment was made and people are connected fine with updated clients

[torpid quest]

windrose servers with no players on them seem to use significantly more CPU power than servers that have players lol

[marble reef]

thats wild

[torpid quest]

10% vs 3%

[lime topaz]

Just to rule it out : there's a known server crash when an outdated client tries to connect.
Is that your case perhaps ?

[torpid quest]

I have to write a script to read through the log file and see how many players are on the server and throttle ones that are empty, annoying.

Because there's no server query protocol.

Oh well, that's a problem for tomorrow.

[lime topaz]

Known issue since the Demo days.

[torpid quest]

Wild.

Surprised Nitrado didn't help fix that before launch.

[mystic vine]

Might not be too noticeable but in the instance of routing through germany from australia is definitely is, used to 0-1ms when playing on servers hosted on my homelab going from that to 280 is annoying but i understand it's EA will just keep playing hosted worlds meanwhile lol.

[marble reef]

im surprised theres still not announcement on any of the hosting discords about this issue

[summer flower]

I'm assuming RCON implementation etc is on the roadmap for the future

[royal venture]

Its for sure not an issue with outdated clients, any 2 individuals can connect to the server but the moment any 3rd tries to connect its crashing. It doesnt matter the order of whose connecting, just that a 3rd connection is crashing the server

[fresh kernel]

now i got to work perfect by running the game as administrator

[lime topaz]

Could you create a thread in #1493364524705775657 and provide server and client logs ?

[lime topaz]

If you need to run anything like a game as Admin you need to solve the issue of your apps or system services blocking the game.

[fresh kernel]

how do i do that

[summer flower]

If you're using a startup script, go to properties on the file and set it to launch as admin. If you're using something like Task Scheduler to start it up, you can set it to run as admin in there

[slim frost]

Has anyone found a fix to the endless lOADINg SCREEN bUG?

[hasty yacht]

I keep getting game crashes and just now got DC from my own world

[nova fable]

For some reason the weapons don't work in steamcmd server, the build numbers are different but is that intentional?

I don't know if its that or a syncing issue

Dedicated server: 22823173```

it shows here:

https://steamdb.info/app/3041230/patchnotes/

vs

https://steamdb.info/app/4129620/patchnotes/

--> I'm going to try one more thing, i'll let you know how it goes.

[vapid spade]

Hey, anyone else having trouble hosting on a Legion Go? I can't seem to start a host game. It always kicks me back to the main menu after the loading screen. My Steam Deck with the same setup works fine, though. Any help would be awesome.

[reef quail]

So uh.. Why does my friend look like this? lol

[mystic vine]

hosted world or server?

[reef quail]

Hosted world

We're actually back to a problem we had previously.. Where he cant join. He will start loading in; his ship appears, then he appears, but his game will freeze (but he still hears audio) and eventually he gets a "application hang detected" error and the game closes

This started happening after the April 16th hotfix. Before that, he was able to join with no issues effortlessly

[mystic vine]

I haven't encountered anything like that hosting worlds what's he playing on?

[reef quail]

Windows 11 like me

[odd pagoda]

Does anyone know where the save game folder is located on Linux?

I lost a 20+ hour save due to a crash earlier and would like to have a backup for my character

[mystic vine]

Is he able to play solo or join others?

[nova fable]

something like this i imagine:

~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Windrose/

[thick marsh]

Dedi or listen server?

[reef quail]

He can play solo, yeah. And we havent tried having him join anyone else

[odd pagoda]

Not a Nitrado server

[thick marsh]

You do know you can run your own dedicated right?

[odd pagoda]

?

[mystic vine]

._.

[odd pagoda]

I thought that was a paid service

[thick marsh]

no,, the question was are you running the dedicated server binary or locally as a listen server

[odd pagoda]

I'm not sure

[nova fable]

if you are sharing your game or sharing someone elses game by default it is a listen server

[odd pagoda]

Then it's a listen server

[somber island]

is their anyone here that can help me i was able to log into my dedicated server this morning but i now i am not able to, my buddy is logged into it now and is playing but i just get stuck on the loading screen, it has been here for almost 30 mins now

[wide rampart]

Anyone find any solutions to Disk Response Times with multiple people in server? I have 3 of my friends on my dedicated server, and its on an Gen3 NVMe with 36g of ram and 14 cpu cores, and if we're all in different areas disk response time introduces crazy latency. No network usage or anything else, seemingly just disk. Just picking brains

[thick marsh]

are you running it over chipset nvme?

[thick marsh]

alt+f4 and restart, i had this a couple days back

[somber island]

i have restarted already this is the third time now that i am not able to log in the solo game starts and i can play its only the MP

[wide rampart]

No, it's on a x16 riser card, but its the only nvme so no bifurcation needed. Numa and IRQ are squared away now, just seems to have constant Response peaks. Beyond aggravating lol

I run a valheim server and 2 ark servers in the same config, but on their own NVMe risers, and they're perfectly fine with 10-12 of us in it, but Windrose is struggling to handle 4 of us

[thick marsh]

check what slot its wired into, I havent had any issues using a relatively slow nvme, directly connected to a CPU slot, but I have had issues with other games where if its routed to a slot that goes through the chipset it can cause weirdness.
I am assuming CPU load etc is in check given the detail in your post.

Im actually trying an N100 atm to see if it runs acceptably

[wide rampart]

Yeah, CPU sits around 15% and mem is 30% static, its tied on CPU 1 on the server, and the CPU's are static locked to the same CPU the NVMe is connected to for lanes. I dont want to setup direct passthrough given its a bit of a pain, but I'm running out of ideas.. cache-write back is configured, Windows and Linux sides, and it brought it down from 120-130ms peaks, but just cant get stable under 1ms like it ought to be

[thick marsh]

Windows vm or wine docker?

[wide rampart]

Windows VM

[thick marsh]

maybe try the wine docker, full windows vm can do some utterly weird stuff when using vdisks

not that overlayfs and docker are much better

[cursive flicker]

this is the setup we use and its pretty stable for us: #1495306794766172160 message

[wide rampart]

Lovely lol

[cursive flicker]

its not windows vm tho :/

[wide rampart]

Can't hit your link, whats the breakout?

[cursive flicker]

go to id:customize and select mod

[thick marsh]

I've had so many issues with winvms over the years

[cursive flicker]

hyperv lol?

[thick marsh]

hyperv, vmware, qemu/kvm, xenserver
take your pick, all have had weird bugs ive spend days tracking down

[odd pagoda]

So where would I find the save files on Linux playing on a listen server?

[thick marsh]

Try this
$XDG_DATA_HOME/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3041230/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/76561198008312825/RocksDB/0.10.0/Worlds/<<worldhash>>
But not 100% sure what the default is for client linux

[somber island]

ok i have done the alt f4 and im still not connecting

[thick marsh]

try creating a new world, if so that means that world is likely corrupted

[somber island]

for just me? like i said my buddy is playing right now

on that server

[thick marsh]

Then could be your character is bugged?

[odd pagoda]

Thank you, had to modify the search a bit but I found it

Hopefully I won't lose this one

thankfully my first one was only level 9 and I'm already back at level 4

[somber island]

o man so i made a new character and it starts right up but my main guy had all our money is there any way to fix this?

[safe karma]

Hi, sorry im not following issues with the game, I see that ppl has rubberbanding issues with dedicated servers. So do we unfortunately. We pay for SurvivalServers yesterday we wherebfighting boss on 1st biom and it was nightmare, lots of freezing and teleportat
ions. Is there any quick fix for that. Are kraken team working on that?

[past tapir]

Anyone found a fix for hosting local servers? I can play single player fine, but neither me or my pal can host or join multiplayers.

[narrow stratus]

Same issue as others above I was playing my own hosted local world fine 12hrs ago tried to load up same world now and it sits on loading forever before finally giving application hung error and closing the app.

Had this issue yesterday thought it was related to the steam cloud save game issue as coincidentally when I turned it off it loaded yesterday. Turned it back on it still loaded. This time that fix doesn’t work and I had backed up the save when it was working before turning cloud on again deleted what was there now put the backup in same issue.

Reading the issues with dlss frame gen I did update to the latest nvidia drivers. Same issue.

Since the game is loaded to main menu just hangs during loading of local hosted save I decided to turn frame generation type to off and what do ya know it loaded!!

[regal oracle]

guys my building catlog only have the first page and all the others are empty what can i do

[narrow stratus]

I dont understand why now that im ingame i can turn fsr or dlss frame generation back on and it stays working yet if its on when i exit game and try go back in I get application hang during loading screen.

[narrow stratus]

Play the game and unlock them? 👀

[past tapir]

So.. no one has a fix for the endless loading / failing to host? We don't even get errors. Jist bsck to a "blank" main page with only the quit option

[regal oracle]

roof floor all of this is lock ?

[inland tangle]

Hey, anyone figured how to fix the infinite loading at the start of the game ?
I already played for 20h and was going for another session today, and for some reason my game wont get past the initial loading screen. It loads for 20-30min and then i get to the "main menu" but theres only the exit option.
I did restart my pc, verified the game files, reinstalled the game, and it doesnt fixed it...

[narrow stratus]

I don’t remember exactly what u start off with but u don’t have much that’s for sure.
Even now I don’t have anything other than 65 degree leaf roofs despite having marble walls etc.
I been buying the blueprints from the faction vendors or finding them ingame pirate camps etc

[regal oracle]

i only have the first page for the work stuff anything other is empty

[narrow stratus]

How long u been playing?

[regal oracle]

2 hours bro

[narrow stratus]

That’s normal u don’t start off with locked blueprints showing up.
What u don’t know u don’t see in your catalogue until u discover it.

[regal oracle]

can i send u in privte photo?

[narrow stratus]

lol um no…

Just play the game u will be fine

[regal oracle]

ty for nothing like dont answer at first place if u cant help and write the same stuff

hello im having a problem with one of my three friends not being able to join my server. two of my friends can join fine. i have no server password and player limit is set to 8 also im just hosting off my pc not using a 3rd party.

[lime oar]

Are they getting any kind of specific message? Does it lag and then kick your friend out or just hang permeanently or....?

[sweet widget]

no just loading forever and crashing/back to main menu

[lime oar]

hrmmmm

if its just the one friend but others are joining fine, I'd say that's some kind of issue on his/her end. Their PC has the minimum specs and all that?

The other thing I'd guess is maybe something with their internet/peer to peer/firewall settings potentially

[sweet widget]

he was able to join when we started but i crashed and after that it started the other two are fine

[barren silo]

im having that same issue, im the friend that can't join. I was able to join 2 days ago but now I'm stuck. If I leave it loading for like 15min it pops up with a quit button. I am able to load solo games fine. Last night I wasn't able to host either. I tried the troubleshoot advice to delete the safe file and let it resync but that doesn't seem to work.

[past tapir]

A lot of people are having this issue. Both me and a buddy are the same. Infinite loading until it eventually hits a "main menu" with only.the quit option.

I have tried basically everything offered as a solution but have had no luck

[agile walrus]

Hey all does anyone know how to add mods to a nitrado serevr ?

[cold heron]

Try using VPN, this helped me and my friend and solved the problem with getting back to menu.

ProtonVPN is free.

Let us know, if it helped

[agile walrus]

ok i mean the mods work on single player but i want to take my world save ffrom nitrado to my si8ngle player instead then lol i ddid it but it just wouldnt open 🙁

[waxen spear]

there's no way to do this currently, as the way Nitrado and other server hosting providers split the files

[violet lance]

Second this, using a vpn client side lets me connect, not that this is a permanant solution in any way, but for now it works

[rich fossil]

someone knows how the "coop scaling" settings really work. Does this work in proximity with your friends only? Or is everything getting scaled up on the server no matter if other players are close by or not? ty

[waxen spear]

basically if you try to do it, the world doesnt load properly and it'll be better for you to just transfer things via Player Inventory and ships than trying to copy the world over

[cold heron]

??? You’re on something?

[waxen spear]

from what i've noticed it's just from when people join the server

[rich fossil]

hm okay thats sad

so if 10 players are on and you try to do solo anything it will be bullet sponge 😄

[cold heron]

Atleast something. Some update could solve this. Soon hopefully

[waxen spear]

you could always just lower the coop multiplier which is what I did

[cold heron]

In my and my friend case, ISP was blocking connection. When used VPN, we were finally able to connect

[rich fossil]

i have it on 1.0 right now - we mostly 4 players. What you suggest?

[cold heron]

If you go up in chat, you can all find it there. 😉

[waxen spear]

I changed mine to .70 and we average about 5 so i'd just do that

[rich fossil]

thanks mate will do that too now ! 🙂

[cloud torrent]

I can log in as a single player the game opens and I can play without any issues. However, I can’t join any servers. When I host, my friends can’t join either. It just keeps sending us back to the main menu without giving any error.

[cold heron]

Hey. As mentioned above. The only workaround that worked for me is to use VPN. ProtonVPN is free, so I used that one.

Your ISP is probably blocking the connection. Let me us know if that worked for you

[steel crypt]

Will the game run smooth on my system? Notebook Acer nitro v17 Ai ryzen 7, 16gb, Nvidia rtx 5050

[barren silo]

yep the vpn worked, thanks heaps

[urban blaze]

Hey I'm hosting my server on my PC, but right now I cannot establish the host, it loads and then returns to the main page afterward

[knotty apex]

I have been having issues with lag in co op. Im playing by myself all settings are on low, pc all up to date. It freezes at this screen when getting on or off

[mystic vine]

we need specs to work with^

[knotty apex]

@mystic vine I can get them when I wake up in the morning

[queen anchor]

Anyone know best settings for higher FPS ? I am on a 1050ti - many thanks

[gilded anchor]

Game literally wont open for me, have tried multiple times over last couple of days.

Average setup but surely that cant be the reason that the game literally wont open?

2080 Super
Ryzen 5 7600X 6 core

[queen anchor]

Sometimes systems on full window crash and do not open, someone advised force launching in steam settings by typing in windowed

Worked for me

[slow harness]

I played since realse a coop save today the game wont find it but in the saves there is still the World save any information how to fix

[gilded anchor]

Will try, ty

Doesnt crash though, literally just cant get past first loading screen xD

[sudden plume]

Hi everyone, I’m having an issue joining my friend's server. Every time I try to connect, I get kicked back to the main menu during the loading screen. Interestingly, my friends can join my server without any issues, but since I have a low-end system, I really need to join my friend's host instead of hosting it myself.

We are a group of 4 people. Currently, only one person can successfully join the friend's server, while the other two of us (including me) are unable to connect.

[cold heron]

Hello, if you go up I have mentioned solution. Only workaround at the moment is using VPN. Download free VPN such as ProtonVPN and use it.

Your ISP is probably blocking connection.
Let us know if that worked:)

[restive quail]

That isn't the only workaround. Most of those ISP's have enabled an "advanced firewall" feature that you just need to turn off.

[cold heron]

Oh yeah, correct. Mine is O2 in Czechia and we can’t control these firewalls even on our modems and security app

But you’re right. First try to enable windrose to pass ISP security, then VPN

[restive quail]

The firewall is on the ISP side, and you usually have to manage it through their management app on a smartphone, or through their web interface that isn't part of your modem at all. It's really stupid.

[fathom aspen]

for me performance is all over the place

on a 4080

[restive quail]

Have an Intel CPU?

[fathom aspen]

yes

[restive quail]

Windows automatically puts the client into a low-power restricted state. If you have a 12th-gen or newer Intel CPU, your CPU is the problem. Use Process Lasso to ensure the process doesn't get put into restricted mode, or disable your fake E-Cores.

[raven vector]

I have an issue with the dedicated server (SteamCMD), When running "StartServerForeground.bat" it's generating no config files. I've run it in command prompt hoping it would show me any errors but it doesn't. It opens, closes, creates no files, so something is preventing the server from starting up and generating those config files. Where do I begin troubleshooting this? Is there a way to force the server to dump logs or at least show the terminal window to see any messages?

[lime topaz]

Which enviro, host OS, guest OS, hardware, etc. ?

[restive quail]

If you have Win 11, see if Smart App Control got enabled.

[raven vector]

Baremetal, HP Proliant, Win Server 2016

[lime topaz]

Which exact CPU model

[restive quail]

Isn't 2016 no longer supported?

[raven vector]

I think it's LTSC, server OS LTSC chains are way longer than home chains, it still gets updates

I may be wrong though

[restive quail]

No I mean by Steam, and most similar newer software.

[lime topaz]

Steam client, and it's not used when you download the server using SteamCMD

[lime topaz]

Which CPU exactly ?

[raven vector]

2x Intel Xeon 3.07 GHz X5675

[lime topaz]

Not supported, missing AVX instruction set.

[restive quail]

Oh, pretty sure that CPU is too old.

[raven vector]

FFFFUUUUU damn, alright

Makes sense though

I've been trying to push this thing for YEARs

[restive quail]

That's been obsolete for a decade. I had a couple of R710's with X5680's that i retired a couple of years ago.

[raven vector]

You'd be surprised at what it can still run

[lime topaz]

Dragging that undead pirate on a leash

[raven vector]

Yeah I run everything on this, Palworld Servers, Ark Servers and a bunch of other games

[restive quail]

Oh I know. They ran a full Ark SE cluster. More of the games I was hosting needed more power though.

[raven vector]

I am deeply saddened by this, as I cannot afford to get a new server...

And I refuse to rent one on principal

So I guess I'm stuck for now lol

[restive quail]

Renting ends up costing more anyway

[unkempt pendant]

Do you guys have problem with connecting? Yesterday we played normaly (I had to download a specific app to even be able to join the game) Today... We cant join each other agtain

[raven vector]

I worked for Aarons rent to own in like 2002 and it blew my mind when I saw how much renting things costs you in the end, so now I refuse to rent if I can avoid it

[restive quail]

Probably maintenance. Check announcements.

[lime topaz]

Me and my sys admin ditched refurb Xeons a while ago and basically assembled a server from spare desktop parts.. I mean, R9 5950X as a spare part because he be rich yo.
Refurb servers have too many restrictions, F their licencing shenanigans.

[raven vector]

Waaaait...my wifes PC (that she doesn't use) has my old 5800X/6700XT..........

[restive quail]

We picked up our servers on Ebay for about $600. It took them less than a year to pay themselves off compared to what renting would have cost.

[restive quail]

That would work sweetly.

[raven vector]

You may have solved my issue here

[lime topaz]

Reposes, adapt, assimilate

[restive quail]

I'm currently hosting ours on a R9 3900X

[raven vector]

Marriage with wife is ENDED. Currently married to WINDROSE SERVER

What's the resource usage looking like with the Windrose server (32GB DDR4, 5800X) Do you think I can get away with running it and it not impacting her daily tasks?

She never uses it anyways but one day she will randomly try to use it every so often

[restive quail]

Ours is sitting at 8% CPU. RAM might get tight though.

[raven vector]

She doesn't game on it, web stuff mostly

[restive quail]

Fine then.

[raven vector]

She HAS games

[restive quail]

Server calls for 16GB RAM, but I personally haven't seen it get that high yet.

[raven vector]

Awesome, time to break the news to her lmao, Good thing my couch is comfortable

[lime topaz]

Currently the server does not idle properly so it puts more load on the CPU when empty than when it has a player connected.
But the overal requirements depend on how many players it will host and how far apart they be in the game world.

[raven vector]

4/5, never further than draw distance. We're a bunch of goblins and tend to zerg so we try not to split up

[lime topaz]

Also, there's a patch coming today.

[restive quail]

It was funny, I looked yesterday, and it was actually using less CPU with people on than it was idle.

[lime topaz]

Brother my sys admin put some industrial 3000RPM Noctua fans on the server box and then we've put it in my room.. hearing those jets an entire workday ain't funny

[restive quail]

We have a basement I shove the servers in.

[lime topaz]

The only basement here is the street 7 stories down
Would get too expensive t run fiber down there.

[tired ocean]

just got kicked back to menu - are there server issues again?

[raven vector]

My server fans crank up to 70% when the raid controller starts heating up. the SoS thinks the entire system is overheating because of that one component. My server sits in my living room next to my PC. My wife always thinks an airplane is flying low overhead when they kick on

[lime topaz]

There's a maintenance going on

[restive quail]

#│announcements message

Not sure why people don't read announcements

[tired ocean]

Yikes. I'm so sorry I happened to miss one random message please forgive me

[restive quail]

Saves you a hell of a lot of frustration to go look before asking. Especially when they notify for it.

[tired ocean]

Noted. I'll be sure to be perfect in future.

[restive quail]

It's just being smart is all.

[novel estuary]

After patch, I can't connect to servers and my friends

[cinder turret]

yeah, we have the same issues

[novel estuary]

ok thx Mings

[hollow cosmos]

I was hosting a game online with friends and it all of a sudden kicked us all out. I cannot host an online game now but I can start an offline version.

[tropic lava]

Maintenance is still ongoing

[restive quail]

How long did they say the downtime would be?
#│announcements message

[strange mirage]

how long til the servers are back up will be about 20 to 30 it say about the patch notes

[hollow cosmos]

Oh very well. Thank you

[unique ermine]

yes servers just kicked us out too

middle of striking down a crab

[novel estuary]

Thx for info mates ^^

[restive quail]

And take whatever time they give you, and set your expectations at three times that.

[hollow cosmos]

Was there an est. time for the maintenance to end?

[wispy estuary]

will the loot stioll be on the floor if you died and got kicked

[ember escarp]

hey me and my buddys game crash and the small dingy/boat will not die lol it just kills the game cant get back in now Noooo

[cursive prawn]

Am I the only one who has a problem where when I try to join my server it just gives me a loading screen and then immediately kicks me out to the main menu?

[prime compass]

nope

[hollow cosmos]

Yeah server os dpwm

[noble rampart]

[hollow cosmos]

[slender hawk]

Hello! I was playing with my partner and got kicked from the game - is the server down atm ?

[restive quail]

Pretty much everyone due to the previously announced maintenance.
#│announcements message

[restive quail]

#│announcements message

[twilit lake]

servers will not work until they turn the back end back on at their end

[restive quail]

Direct IP should work without that if you have updated.

[coarse dagger]
