[hidden falcon]

Anyone have issues with saved changes no taking effect on your nitrado server?

[opaque pivot]

Server has to be shut down to make changes

[hidden falcon]

I shut it down

[wide spindle]

same after update do u know when it will be fixed?

[hidden falcon]

made the changes and saved.

[lilac jetty]

hey when you figure out how to fix it dm me

[opaque pivot]

Tell your ISP to turn off their security services

[sharp shore]

Do the servers like puck said to have direct connection only, then apply the mod that increases server frame rate

[wide spindle]

ill try

[opaque pivot]

Or you can try to use a VPN service like Windsribe - just make ssure that whatever you use allows p2p

[hidden falcon]

I turned the server off and saved the changes. Even cleared my browser cash. Do you happen to have something i could try to get it to go through?

[crisp quarry]

Any solution from dews regarding the loading screen problem yet?

[opaque pivot]

You shut server down; download / open file in text editor; make changes; save / upload file; launch server drink booze

[severe laurel]

Would interest me too i cant enter the game

[hidden falcon]

Thank you good sir/maam

[silver light]

So it says to do this but I don't have this folder in my game dir. Does it just want me to throw backup files into main save files in local?

[opaque pivot]

what loading screen problem? Can you launch the game? Do you get to the main menu at all?

[crisp quarry]

Nope

[modest plaza]

Our multiplayer world is unplayable since the "server stability" update. Seems to have done more harm than good. We have terrible desync and lag now. Game ran flawless before this....

[wild inlet]

I can get to the menu, I can ge to play and solo/offline I cannot select any worlds and even if I make a new one I cannot use it. What do I need to do?

[opaque pivot]

Did you tell steam to verify integrity of files?

[opaque pivot]

Use direct IP option and not the invite code

[modest plaza]

hmm i'll try this, ty

[severe laurel]

I have the same issue and i already did everything + reinstall the whole game

[opaque pivot]

I'm not sure where you're seeing that, saved games / profiles are not in the steamapps folder, it's in the local app data folder

[silver light]

It says in the main post that you linked that its in the game dir

[opaque pivot]

Does your computer meet the minimum specs?

[severe laurel]

rtx 5080 cpu amd ryzen 9 9950

[crisp quarry]

Yes i did all of it. Updated my grafic card cloud off. reinstall the game 4 time+ reinstall steam. i did play friday, saturday i did miistake to log in on another device, after that nothing works

[silver light]

Connection works. Dragged all of the backup files into the main save files, world backup did not work, same problem

[modest plaza]

do i need to provide the IP for my friend to connect? only the server port is displayed.

[subtle estuary]

"Drop Item" doesn't seem to have a keybinding, I have dexterity issues and can't click the middle mouse button well. Heavy attack keybinding (also the middle mouse button) can be changed.

Anyone else notice degradation (more lag locally, and on online games) ?

[lime topaz]

Which exact problem ?

[opaque pivot]

I think whoever posted that pasted the wrong location because they also posted it as C:\Steam\SteamApps when that's not the default location. It would be the same folder I told you

[opaque pivot]

You would give them your external IP if you're using direct IP option. You also likely need to forward the port that you used

[silver light]

Thats great and all, but you said "I'm not sure where you're seeing that" but you literally sent that link to me and in that link it says that.

[crisp quarry]

Stuck on the loading screen. I did Updated my grafic card cloud off. reinstall the game 4 time+ reinstall steam. i did play friday, saturday i did miistake to log in on another device, after that nothing works

[opaque pivot]

yeah, I see it now. Didn't bother reading the location they posted because I just assumed it was correct (I'm lazy too)

[lime topaz]

Which exact loading screen ?

[severe laurel]

Having the same issue

[severe laurel]

When you start the game

[lime topaz]

Did you try to clear local saves from %LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved ?

[native bobcat]

Anyone know how to upload mods for the hosted server?

[severe laurel]

yes

[sturdy fable]

How do i choose which world i being hosted on my server?

[lime topaz]

Create a thread in #1493364524705775657 and provide dxdiag report and game log file.

[crisp quarry]

i have no "saved" in R5 folder

[silver light]

So they just want us to take the backup files and drop them into the main save folder? i tried that with the 3 backups that were shown but those backups were all after the update that broke everything. I think i'm boned

[lime topaz]

Not in SteamApps, in %LOCALAPPDATA%

[winter geode]

can we share player saves with another person?
as i terid but it would not load or show up in game

[crisp quarry]

Nope

[silver light]

hosting for 4 people, now i have to tell them the world is corrupted because of the devs, all the rep on our factions and their bases are gone smdh

[opaque pivot]

Sounds like it, sorry :/

[lime topaz]

Create the thread and also include screenshots of the R5 directory.

[halcyon yew]

im restarting the server and even changing the WorldIslandID to my old world but everytime i restart the server it just creates a new world

[opaque pivot]

There's only 2 folders in %appdatalocal%\R5 - that's .sentry-native (hidden by default) and Saved.. If you're not seeing saved, it sounds like you don't have any thing saved like you've never created a character let alone a game

I'm gonna have to tell the devs to start paying me for this support 😉

[crisp quarry]

I have reinstall the game, so i don't have been manage to create a character yet

[opaque pivot]

Then that's why there's no saved folder for you. Once you create a character you'll have a saved folder

[karmic tree]

Hello, i don't know if as been solved, I can't create or join any multiplayer session, i get the message "unexpected error". when i try to create i multiplayer session it just load for a couple of seconds and sends me back to main menu without any error message. Anyone has any workaround, unfortunately i can't access router options as i'm using my mobile phone connection atm

[opaque pivot]

Can you play / load single player?

[karmic tree]

yes i can

[rain trout]

have kinda the same issue, except it doesnt throw me back... stuck on infinite loadng screen loop

[lone cape]

any help in UseDirectConnection in Linux + Wine?

[opaque pivot]

Mobile hotspot probably doesn't have the bandwidth needed to host, and the ISP (phone service provider) probably has blocks on their service

[rain trout]

regardless hosting the game or joining a friends i stuck on the infinite loading screen.. i can hear music, water and seagull (so i assume it is not frozen or something), also the tips on the bottom are changing.. i have disabled the cloud saves as suggested but no difference. i checked also the files, no repair was needed. did all the tips with firewall, router restart etc and logged also via mobile phone hotspot but still not able to pass the loading screen.. any suggestion?

[hearty leaf]

i have this problem. does anyone knows how to fix it?

[opaque pivot]

Linux not officially supported yet, but make sure your config file looks like this for direct connect (should be the same on linux) #🚧│tech-support message

[karmic tree]

i'm doing that on other games, never had issues

[silver light]

What are the odds they fix pre-patch corrupted worlds in the future? Probably nill right? (debating on starting over)

[opaque pivot]

Your ISP is likely blocking the ports, call them and ask them to turn off their security services (depending on the ISP it depends on the name)

I doubt it Kaj

[hearty leaf]

is there any other way to get this around?

[outer adder]

anyone know how to fix this?

[lime topaz]

Is your antivirus blocking the game ?

And I posted in your thread like 20 minutes ago, no need to spam the channels.

[opaque pivot]

you can try to run a VPN software. I have really good luck with Windscribe, just need to make sure if supports P2P connections depending on the server setup you're using

[opaque vapor]

After the update, I can't connect to my friend's server. It just keeps loading forever—I've been waiting for 12 minutes.
My friend was able to join my empty server after 3 minutes.
How can I fix this?

[opaque pivot]

Tell him to fix his server, it's likely on his end

[outer adder]

No, it doesn't!

[lime topaz]

One of your apps is.

[compact smelt]

I am having an issue, i set up a new server. I was able to join along with 2 friends after about 5 minutes we all got kicked and when trying to join we just get a loading screen and then kicked back to lobby no errors or anything on console

[opaque pivot]

Did you try restarting the server?

Direct Connect or Invite Code? (AKA P2P)

[compact smelt]

yes, restarted the server, restarted the PC ( Ive hosted pal world server no issue). I used the SteamCMD method. We are direct connect via IP

[opaque pivot]

Hosted on the same PC you play on or a dedicated machine?

[compact smelt]

I also have hosted minecraft servers no issue (probably much less demanding) but i am only about 40-50% cpu usage and not even 25% ram usage

Its a dedicated seperate PC

[opaque pivot]

After restart are you able to connect again?

[compact smelt]

No cannot connect at all after restart. I just get a loading screen then kicked back to main menu

[opaque pivot]

Does the console show your connection attempt?

[hearty leaf]

do you think they will fix it anytime soon?

[compact smelt]

No i do not believe so, I put the logs into claude to see what it thought the issue may be but it just said "Bottom line: Server is up, registered, and waiting for players. Nothing in here suggests any immediate problems." (summarized)

Did i need to change the IP on the config file?

(the Dedicatedserver.md file)

[opaque pivot]

the .md file is just a readme file, instructions basically. You want the ServerDescription.json file under R5.

[somber lichen]

Wish I can get mine to work, ive tried everything, maybe im just not doing right idk

[hearty leaf]

@opaque pivot since this is a today problem, do you think they will fix my problem soon?

[somber lichen]

Anyone have any luck with Survivor Servers?

[twilit kestrel]

There are a bunch of us unable to get into games and servers we have been playing on for a couple of days since the update.\

[opaque pivot]

dunno, might just be a temp thing with your hotspot.

[compact smelt]

This seems to have worked, You are the goat. Not sure why it let us on for a few minutes the other way but this fixed it. Thank!!

[twilit kestrel]

I use Survivor Servers and it is the same issue Gemrose.

[umbral thorn]

I cant seem to join my friends. when I enter the invite code, I can only play the tutorial and then after the tutorial ends IM GETTINGS STUCK on the loading screen indefinitly. I ve tried every solution online but nothing helps.... Please anyone can help me

[somber lichen]

ok ive tried to use direct and it doesnt work either

[opaque pivot]

Glad you got it working

[opaque pivot]

#🚧│tech-support message

[somber lichen]

tried that also

something about the IP its using wont work

[opaque pivot]

On the server machine go to https://whatsmyip.org - that's the IP it should be using; then you open the port on the firewall / router

but you don't put that IP in the config anywhere

That's just what clients type in to connect

should look like like my pic

except for the redacted parts that say don't touch this

[halcyon yew]

So I've moved re-created my docker container > uploaded old world > changed the ID's in ServerDescription but its ccrashign whenever i join it, any ideas?

[brittle adder]

Right people, i'm facing the same issue as a lot, infinite loading screens either before main menu, or, if sometimes (randomly) I go through I face another infinite screen when joining a server
But all of this is fixed as soon as I get rid of steam cloud
BUT, I play from 2 different machines (home/work) and it ended up causing problems on BOTH
Would it be a solution to have the cloud off, play the game and when i'm done I upload my "save files" somewhere, download them on the work PC and carry on from there ? If yes that could be a temporary solution until they fix it for people that face the same issue as me

[opaque pivot]

Right now I would only play from 1 machine. Can you stream from home to work instead of loading from work? I mean you should be working but I'm not your boss so IDGAF

[somber lichen]

So i dont change anything in the .json file

[brittle adder]

Perks of being your own boss, now on the paper this theory should work, no reason it doesn't, so i'll try and let people know later tomorrow

[opaque pivot]

Servername; If you want it password protected or not; the region if you want to use a specific one, UseDirecConnection=true and if you want a port other than 7777 - all that you change but nothing else (unless you're restoring a save from either SP or another machine)

[round plinth]

Got a client whos main character wont load in, or it crashes the game, . Had her create a new character and she can now get in just fine. How do i reset her original character ID to a safe refresh location to keep her progress?

[tame birch]

Hello, I've just got the game yesterday and it was smooth and fun for about 4 hours, no complaints on performance, but today I downloaded a small patch and now I get UE5 fatal errors every few minutes

[summer violet]

Hello, I need help. My game is stuck on the loading screen and I can't host or join a server.

[tame birch]

I've tried most easily accesible fixes, dx12, verified files, administrator mode, compatibility mode, fullscreen resolution, my drivers are up to date, so on and so forth

[brittle adder]

Main loading screen you don't even reach char creation? If that tried turning off steam cloud in properties of the game and launch it again

[opaque pivot]

If you're running NVidia card - it's been suggested to try Studio Drivers instead of Game Ready ones

[tame birch]

I

[high sapphire]

you are not alone, i have exact the same issue. Do you use Widescreen?

[tame birch]

I've got an AMD 7800XT, no widescreen

[somber lichen]

do i need to put the new IP in there as well?

[opaque pivot]

no, just the port

in the json file, you'll need the external IP to connect from the client though

[somber lichen]

i left it 7777 but i dont know how to change it on the firewall/router

[opaque pivot]

if you don't know how to do port forwarding you may want to try not using Direct Connection

Then you would use the invite code instead of the IP, but that is also dependant on your router / firewall

[somber lichen]

now im confused

[dreamy socket]

the invite code and direct IP connection is either/or, cannot use both.

[opaque pivot]

Direct IP / Connect usually requires you to know how to port forward.
Invite code uses P2P / NAT Punch Through - Not all firewalls / routers have this ability
It's one or the other, not both. So you need to know how to get into your router and forward ports, or you can keep it "UseDirectConnection: False to use invite / P2P

[summer violet]

I created my character and then did the tutorial on the boat, but I'm stuck on the next loading screen while my friend is on the island.

[opaque pivot]

Friend hosting dedicated server or a rented one? Tutorial is done local, then it connects to game server. If you can't connect, it's likely a bad setup

[brittle adder]

#│français-chat

[opaque pivot]

ok, I'm going to the store.. need food for the house.. GL to those I didn't get fixed up :/

[summer violet]

We're on a dedicated server, but whether I launch it or join it myself, it doesn't work.

[round plinth]

Update new character is being logged out and sent to lobby after timing out . Possibly her connection?

[serene hemlock]

I'm hosting a game for a friend and while the game runs fine for me they experience frequent crashes when fast traveling is this a known issue for multiplayer atm?

[dreamy socket]

haven't had any reports across the servers I run.

[twilit kestrel]

none of the ip connect changes helped.

[charred scroll]

How does that work? Just download the Studio Drivers?

[dreamy socket]

correct https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/232934/

[charred scroll]

Well, it\s not letting me

[dreamy socket]

need to clean that drive a bit.

[charred scroll]

Yeah I removed 15gigs the other day, today it\s full again. I dunno what\s going on

[dreamy socket]

it's most likely nvidia shaders caching.

[exotic harness]

anyone have the new files yet for dedicated server ?

different version of the game were loaded onto steam
22851748 for the server and 22851825 for the game. both were uploaded to steam at the same time this morning

[mighty garden]

Anyone have a fix for this audio glitch?
Ive already updated the drivers to most recent and seem to be still having troubles

[edgy edge]

I can't get past the very first loading screen and can't get the main menu.

[dreamy socket]

definitely sounds like a bottleneck/bad driver.

[mighty garden]

Any idea on where i should start looking to fix it? Right now I have the most up to date driver for audio. Graphics card is updating now too

[dreamy socket]

I personally use Drive Booster on steam, free version, then get the other drivers from a simple search like openAL, the XNA frameworks, and VC package

[civic thorn]

How to fix it? I can neither create a server nor connect to a friend

[dreamy socket]

3rd party provider?

[nocturne narwhal]

Yo do someone have an the issue when u leave UI like inventory or map ur game just freezes a little bit, nothing big but its annoying, im running the game on 7800x3d + 5070

[dreamy socket]

nope smooth as butter

[nocturne narwhal]

can u share ur settigns please?

[twilit kestrel]

survival servers

[dreamy socket]

keep in mind im on a 3070ti 😄 I have the medium preset on

[nocturne narwhal]

yeah well frame gen does nothing, barely getting 140fps

[polar breach]

i mean i sit at like 60 fps pretty much and its always smooth

[charred scroll]

I was too until the hotfixes came, now it\s just stuttering and audio problems

Even if it\s disabled?

[molten flicker]

Hello , is there any solution for UE-R5 Error ? game keeps crashing with this error flag. I have done all the basic checks n stuff to fix it , but it remains unfixed.

[opaque pivot]

You have some sort of firewall blocking your connections. Could be windows, software (like a network security / anti-virus) , hardware (router / firewall) or ISP

[civic thorn]

I've tried many different solutions, but nothing has helped.

[opaque pivot]

I'd check with your ISP, likely they're running security on their hardware

[halcyon ether]

Right, part of ship loot are crates "LABELED" as for sale to the good people of Tortuga who in fact have no interest in the DAMN CRATES! Could someone provide insight as to why the item is labeled as Tortuga only? You are better than this.

[charred scroll]

Not really a tech support issue, but you need to find their home base

[late vector]

Anyone noticed that when the dedicated servers lag the server fps drops to single digits right beforehand?

[small light]

getting 0x6 when trying to update server files dedicated steamcmd.. using
force_install_dir [diretoryofserver]
login anonymous
app_update 4129620 validate

[lime topaz]

Redownload the server from scratch to another directory.

[small light]

ok but why? there isnt a fix?

[dreamy socket]

Has to cache somewhere

[lime topaz]

It's a simpler fix than digging in appmanifest and figuring out how it got corrupted in the first place.

[violet loom]

Silly question but anyone knows if the update corrupted world files? I updated my game and went to put my world back in and it just crashes the server when starting it with:

WindroseServer-Win64-Shipping.exe!UnknownFunction []
KERNEL32.DLL!UnknownFunction
ntdll.dll!UnknownFunction

when I do a fresh world it starts fine

[small light]

yes but @lime topaz i cannot keep doing this every update

[heady barn]

Hello I can not play windrose after purchasing it. here is the problem:
I right click the Windrose.exe "run as administrator"

A Popup appears:
"BootstrapPackagedGame" Verified publisher: Digital Entertainment Hong Kong Limited
File Origin: Hard drive on this computer
Program location: "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Windrose\Windrose.exe"

I select Yes.

Popup closes and game launches to a black screen, after about 1-2 seconds the game will crash and the popup re-appears asking me to select yes or no again.

If i select yes the cycle repeats infinitely, If i press no the game closes and the cycle ends.

Solves I have done/tried:
-DX11 (2 Popups: see images)
-DX12
-Safe
Right clicking Windrose.exe, -> properties -> compatibility -> Disable fullscreen optimizations, run this program as administrator, Run this program in compatibility mode
Updating My Nvidia Graphics Driver
Updating Windows
Verifying Local files through steam
Uninstalling and Re-installing
Restarting computer
Hard restarting computer
Updating/downloading Microsoft Visual C++

I am truly at a loss here for what to do to get this game to run.

[lime topaz]

Then you have to figure out why it got corrupted on your side.

I updated the server 2 times without any issue.

[dreamy socket]

same mine auto update and auto restart flawless

[rose fractal]

Heya! Is anyone able to help me with connection issues? Connection servers N/A, Direct IP loading then kick to main menu, firewal checked, internet blocation checked (we switched 3 providers) reinstall checked

[lime topaz]

The 2 screenshots you provided are both user errors, DX11 isn't supported.
Provide the original error messages.

[dreamy socket]

no issues with self hosted dedicated.

[heady barn]

No error message appears when the game black screens and crashes, unless it’s in a log somewhere

[lime topaz]

YOu have to investigate if the client even attempted connection (which would be logged on the server) and go from there.

[rose fractal]

how I can do that?

[lime topaz]

Disable "Smart App Control" in Windows if it is enabled.
And remove "Run as Admin" from Steam and Game executable.

[violet loom]

anyone knows what world files can get corrupted? server does not load when trying to load a backup world after update

[dreamy socket]

it should in the panel console if it's a 3rd party host

[rose fractal]

No my IP

Direct Connection

[dreamy socket]

if it's on a local machine it's the cmd window that opens when the server is started and running.

[fallow zinc]

After this morning’s update, I can no longer get the dedicated server to run at all using Winrose Server Manager; it crashes consistently at the end of the loading sequence. I have attempted to launch via Steam, SteamCMD, and the Windrose Server Manager with no success. Have there been any recent changes to directory structures or port requirements that I should be aware of?

[dreamy socket]

like this

[heady barn]

Issue changed,
Smart App control was disabled,
I removed run as admin, i no longer get the "BootstrapPackagedGame" but the game still launches black screen and crashes after 1-2 seconds

[dreamy socket]

direct IP is now allowed other than that, and port forwarding not much has changed, all my servers booted up fine after the update

[charred scroll]

What are your system specs?

[fallow zinc]

Not mine, it crashed my server and wiped my database. 10 hours of gameplay was lost. What could be causing this to happen with Windrose Server manager? I can't seem to get it to run as I did two days ago

[heady barn]

Windows 11

[dreamy socket]

not sure about the "server Manager" you would have to investigate the logs, I use windowsGSM it works perfect

[lime topaz]

Provide r5.log file from %LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\Logs (no, not in SteamApps)

[lime topaz]

Did you test it with a new world save ?

[fallow zinc]

I never used WindowsGSM, there's no support for Windrose, do you import the server?

[small light]

thanx @lime topaz i reinstalled and it worked. including even updating surely after

[dreamy socket]

plugins, are how you install not natively supported it's made by the community.

[lime topaz]

You sure this is the entire file (99kB) ? 👀

[fallow zinc]

I started over again and it doesn't launch the server at all. I've never dealt with this type of server

[graceful sedge]

mouse is not controlling anything in game now,... played a couple hours earlier with no issues, now It wont do any actions, and even getting into the game it doesnt activate any of the buttons, have to use enter key to get the buttons to "click", in game no actions working

[dreamy socket]

does it pop any message up when attempting?

[lime topaz]

Could you provide some details about your server setup ? (OS, hypervizor, hardware)

[opaque pivot]

What version of Windows? Those error boxes don't look like win11

[fallow zinc]

I'll pass on windowsgsm, seems very complicated

[dreamy socket]

it's actually really easy. shrug

[lime topaz]

Could you start the game, let it do its thing without you doing anything and then grab the "r5.log" again and upload it here ?

[opaque pivot]

Try studio drivers instead of game ready drivers

[fallow zinc]

I used Windrose Dedicated Server. I imported from a steam server install, changed the settings to my liking and launched the server. Everything was fine. They updated and crashed my server and my files were wiped. It turns out Saved folder is your database but the engine is the ServerDescription.json file. Once that was deleted, the information to my server was wiped. This happened twice including this mornings update and now no matter what I try, I can't get the server up from a fresh install. Everything I did two days ago doesn't work today. Honestly, I've never dealt with this type of server architecture. It seems a bit suspect the way they have it set up

[fallow zinc]

Sorry, I'm trying. I went to WindowsGSM Plugins, no search feature and there's over 200 plugins. Kinda feels like a waste of time sifting through the plugins

[opaque pivot]

#🚧│tech-support message

[lime topaz]

Generally, don't use the bundled server, download it via SteamCMD or Steam client > Tools > Windrose Dedicated Server.
Once you create one from scratch see if it launches.

[fallow zinc]

That's basically what I do. I downloaded through SteamCMD. In Server Manager, I used the SteamCMD files to install with server Manager. Did exactly what I did two days ago. Launched the server and at the end you get a bunch of red text and crash. This time, it doesn't launch

[keen verge]

is survival servers down?

been restarting for almost 30 min now

[dreamy socket]

i'd recommend opening a ticket with them if you think it's down

[fallow zinc]

The problem I’m having is the same as this. Now I can’t even launch a dedicated server anymore. https://youtu.be/-ZH3km7ldao?si=SMqeDIYqG4csb8vc

[opaque pivot]

You have to talk to your provider on that one

[haughty jacinth]

any good links on how to migrate from local save on steam to Nitrado?

This connectivity fix has made it so that we cant play mp without lagging to death

anytime anyone other than host tries to enter combat their ping goes to 700+

[wise spade]

was able to play on server most of the day now when I try and log into the server is says not found and then closes my game anyone have a solution?

[hearty parrot]

i just got home after i was at a friends and showed him the game, now i have an infinite loading screen, i saw a steam post about cloud saves but im unable to get the game working except for no save...

[weak yacht]

hi every one my server kick me when i join every time any one have same issue?

[viscid vale]

Hey all, I recently setup a hosted server through G-Portal and it works great for everyone but myself, I have looked up a ton of information on fixes and tried all the stuff i can find, I have forwarded ports, done all the netsh, dns flush and set the dns to 8.8.8.8 - 8.4.4.8 , I have turned off the steam cloud save and checked both my router and windows defender firewall to enable access to windrose. We have 8 players total and all others can join the server with no issue. When i load it up and log in i get to the loading... screen it takes a while and then just goes right back to the "play" screen. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

[round plinth]

I got one friend having the same issue with my gportal server and i submitted a ticket with them at this time

[viscid vale]

I am no the host for this server but i have logged in to view logs and see whats happening when it kicks me out, It does not give any clear information as to what is happening. Of course, it seems like a router firewall issue but i have enabled all ports with steam, g portal, and windrose itself. Even tried a direct ip connection with no changes, I can still log into a solo world with no issue.

[wise spade]

anyone having the problem where they join the server and the game closes while you are in the loading screen?

[weak yacht]

when i join the server restarting

[viscid vale]

Would you mind if i tried to join your server and see if anything different happens? i have not tried to log into another Gportal hosted server.

[round plinth]

One thing i saw people try was removing all your local saves out of the savedgames folder. everyone get out of the server. Repair server, reboot server, all load in . create a fast new toon do the fast tutorial. Then if you can get into that server and stay in, close the game and put the old savees back into the right folder and try to get in

[wise spade]

lol ya not doing that but thank you though

[round plinth]

Anyone have any steps when a character file seems corrupted? Since the patch today my dad’s players is unplayable. Can’t join a world or play locally.

But if I backup thr r5 file and start new the game loads

[hearty parrot]

i have the same thing just started the game and its stuck on a loading screen

[vagrant portal]

Mine just crashes the game just before connect. I can see his character load. But it never loads

[fallow zinc]

Hi, I'm an idiot, nice to meet you all. I figured out my issue. I didn't have a proxy server set for Windrose Server Manager. Thanks for thelp for those who tried. Idiot signing off!

[real ivy]

Collection with pickaxe is not working for me. Anyone else have this issue?. went to another mine and its fine. strange.

[stray agate]

Hello, i can`t play my off serever, any one the same probs?

[dreamy socket]

Could be desync ie a resource that is not there

[twilit kestrel]

my server provider had us make new characters and try that. it worked. It's the character files on your pc that are corrupted and that's what's causing the unable to load and server crashing errors.

[stark thicket]

I cannot join other servers. When I try to exit my own world, it freezes up.

[hardy rock]

Having the same issues. Friend has a dedicated server, 4 others can join it, It gives Server not found for me, all connection serviecs listed Avaialble

I'm online in steam ...

[storm canyon]

Xfinity, Spectrum and some others - Go in your router settings, Advanced, turn off security shield

[hardy rock]

was off in the xfinity app. enabled then disabled to be sure -- no luck. Thanks for the suggestion though

[nova fable]

I finally fixed my issue, the problem with the weapons not working was because the server and client had different mods

[hardy rock]

I can steam - join game off another different server, just not the one my friends are playing on?

[quaint glacier]

make a new level 1 and test if it works; to see further if its character or client or world related

[olive hawk]

Hi my private server is having 5-10min crashes after the latest update, I have updated and restarted it and everyone on my server crashes.

We have no issues playing a hosted co-op server but the paid server we can't play it.

[quaint glacier]

I only know of the steam tool called Windrose Dedicated Server, you should be using that

spin up the world and take er for a ride

[viscid vale]

When i log into the game it goes straight to a loading screen instead of the home screen and i can't do anything, i have uninstalled, and verified game files. nothing is changing unless i delete the saved profile... is my file corrupted?

[quaint glacier]

what specifically are you deleting after uninstalling and reinstalling? uninstall+reinstall should fix any client side issues generally or simply verify integrity of game cache steam option from reaching the main menu of the windrose . exe

[viscid vale]

unless i delete my saved profile in the R5 folder when i open the game it goes straight to the "Loading..." screen like you are loading into a server. nothing else happens

[steady elbow]

Anyone else having issues being kicked back into main menu while in a co-op server? We have like 3 people

[quaint glacier]

how far was your character levels? if it was under like 5 it is probably not worth investigating and just make a new level 1 honestly if its that corrupted in the amount of time it will take to get fixed behind the scenes

[olive hawk]

I'm going through Streamline Server hosting for my private server. It was perfectly fine before the latest update, now you log in fine but crash every 5-10mins (everyone on the server)

[viscid vale]

It was level 5 yes, I mean either way i still can't log into the dedicated server i created but other people can log on the server and even with a totally new profile i can't log into it

however, i can log into other peoples servers

[quaint glacier]

do you know how to get your client logs in r5\saved\logs? im sure the server devs would want to see those for where it breaks on your client

[viscid vale]

yes i do

[quaint glacier]

friend code or did you change your json to direct IP?

[marble shell]

I cant connect to a server via IP. I put it in but the button is greyed out. Anyone know why or how to fix?

[quaint glacier]

use friend code and see if it works

[marble shell]

tried that. or the code they gave was bad. lol

Also, how do you adjust how many players your server can have? Like can you set it to 5 or is 4 the default?

[quaint glacier]

json file in the dedicated server folder has the config for playercount

[dreamy socket]

I have a 30 slot running

[tacit sluice]

same issue on ours

[vast arch]

Hello! When I launch the server it creates a new world that takes precedence over the world I copied into the worl folder. How do I fix this?

[hot ether]

Anyone knows if you can use a server gamefile on a local game?

[dreamy socket]

like make a local world into a server? https://www.survivalservers.com/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_Transfer_a_Windrose_Local_Save_to_a_Dedicated_Server

[hot ether]

Thats not what i asked, but thanks 🙂

[dreamy socket]

it should work the same way inverse

[hot ether]

it doesn't for me, but i'll keep trying. Just thought someone might have done that before

[dreamy socket]

did you replace the serverdecription.json, and the world files?

[vast arch]

Yes, and made sure it matched. Just copied and pasted from the original

[dreamy socket]

care to paste them to me, you can dm them to me so you don't send someone your join code

or omit it

[gray island]

I need help, I can't connect to my friend's server or my own.

[quaint glacier]

you should host your server with steam windrose dedicated server and then join it with your friend code from the server configs json

[stuck skiff]

my pc instantly crashes whenever i launch the game. I just bought it. I have a new MSI laptop, updated drivers, no error code. Instant crash when i launch windrose on steam

[quaint glacier]

check your windows event viewer click on windows logs > application logs > filter current log > criticals and warnings > click ok > post pic

[lean rose]

So, I've played 7.6 hrs & the game just randomly closes. There isn't a specific thing being done when it does. It did it after the first 45min of game play, then 2 hrs after that. At that point i just stopped playin for the night. Tried playin today and it shut down 4hrs in to playin and again after 1.5 hrs.....

And there is nothing in the Event Log

[quaint glacier]

my friend had MSI and he had to do something with MSI afterburner to set his GPU fan curve to work good or something

[stuck skiff]

thank you @quaint glacier , hopefully this helps

[storm sphinx]

my friend can join other gportal servers but is unable to join mine for some reason. gets this error in the logs and is stuck in loading screen limbo/ Error on Ue P2P connecting. Error 'Failed to connect to remote'

[stuck skiff]

Im downloading afterburner

[real ivy]

Also have a friend that can not join my game. please help

[stuck skiff]

OMG @quaint glacier i fixed it. Installed it on a different drive

[karmic pivot]

HUGE NEWS

[quaint glacier]

yarr sometimes it be the sea drive ehh

[languid fox]

This is kinda weird. I am using ExitLag to LOS ANGELES because Nitrado LOS ANGELES IS SO LAGGY.

After changing my ip to LA why is my ping 200 ???? Nitrado, are you sure LA server is really in LA???????

nitrado this is crazy. I am in LA with this LA server you guys have

[karmic pivot]

interesting

[radiant wyvern]

Is there a way to transfer ownership of your server to another user

[stuck skiff]

Nevermind… I got it to launch once but now it’s crashing again anytime I try to launch it

[sudden vale]

Just pointing out for a anyone having connectivity issues they have had some issues on their backend and they're working it out from what I understand but this game is also early access so there's bound to be major bugs and issues like this

[karmic pivot]

Was ther any chance that the first time you started the game you were accepting a steam invite ?

[sudden vale]

I know it's frustrating but they will undoubtedly get it resolved as time goes on

[stuck skiff]

No, I launched it like normal with the play button on steam

[stuck skiff]

^

I just got it to launch, sitting in the loading screen

But I’m afraid it will crash 90% of the time I try to launch it

[languid fox]

Nitrado wth all of us have this and we live in LA

[radiant wyvern]

Does anyone know how to transfer ownership of a server to another user in this game?

[stuck skiff]

I’m still in the loading screen 😫🥲

Is this a known issue or should I just refund for now?

[broken river]

Me too, but no need to refund lol, chill

[open wigeon]

You can find the world save file for a dedicated server in this directory:
C:\windrose-server\R5\Saved\SaveProfile\Default\RocksDB\0.10.0\Worlds\{WorldIslandId}
If you're looking for the world safe file on a local machine I can only assume it would be something like:
C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\{PlayerId}\RocksDB\0.10.0\Worlds\{WorldIslandId}

[karmic pivot]

Lost , the first time you started the game, post install, were you accepting a steam invite from a friend ?

[stuck skiff]

U right I won’t refund it but this infinite loading screen sucks!

[gloomy saffron]

need help have abuddy who is unable to use his talent points wont let him how to fix that?

[languid fox]

Transferring from Nitrado to Gportal its not working. Something is messed up in Nitrado world file

[broken river]

agreed! lol

[open wigeon]

It's likely a configuration issue and Gportal support can probably solve it.
In the configuration file ServerDescription.json there is a field called "WorldIslandId". This needs to be set to match the name of the world folder.
Does Gportal admin panel have any option for that?

Alternatively if they allow you FTP access or any file management you can just find that json file and edit it to your needs.

[daring warren]

So everyone got the infinite loading screen too?

[stuck skiff]

i do

when it launches and doesnt insta crash my pc

[daring warren]

I was just playing like 2 hours ago too. Now just sitting on loading trying to start. I never had any crashes though

[deft kelp]

I submitted a ticket, but I'm curious if anyone has resolved the issue of the quests all missing from the journal. Also missing all challenges, collections, and library.

[dreamy socket]

quests are not server side, they are character based.

[deft kelp]

Oh sorry, missed the reading at the top. Thought it was just a general chat!

[vapid pier]

anyone having issues updating DirectConnectionServerAddress in the json? i shut down the server, make the change and restart but it keeps reverting back to using the local IP instead of WAN IP

[karmic pivot]

Anyone stuck on loading screen try toggling Nvidia Auto Optimization for Windrose game settings ?

[stuck skiff]

did that fix it for u?

[burnt heart]

anyone keep disconnecting and rubberbanding since the patch?

[languid fox]

yup we did all that after adding the world but it keeps saying "Failed"

[sweet meteor]

Hey folks. Which folder do I need to make a backup of in order to revert to a past point. Is it the Worlds folder in the AppData/Local/R5 - - - Rocks DB / 0.10.0

Reason for asking is I'm making a YT series and I like my little cinematics and nonsense shots so after recording a bunch of b-roll I'd like to "go back in time" so that there isn't a continuity breaking passage of time suddenly :/ hope that makes sense.

[quaint glacier]

its in the pinned message

[sweet meteor]

ohhhh, derp shoulda checked thar first. ty

[gray hare]

Is anybody having problems with trying to run the game and have discord the going. To be able talk?

[gritty nacelle]

Have not had that issue

[gray hare]

It was working perfectly fine and now I'm having nothing but issues trying to play in the server just crashes when she get in with discord running

[gritty nacelle]

Check your ram / cpu useage

[fathom creek]

Hey is anyone having issues with "N/A" for servers?

I cant connect to any servers

[gritty nacelle]

Known issue, Try one with direct connect enabled

[gritty nacelle]

I had it crash earlyer with chrome and discord open

[frank sleet]

Anyone having issues connecting to a dedicated server? Worked last night no problems and today it goes to load in but before you get into the actual game it kicks you back to main menu

[fathom creek]

what do you mean? direct IP? I dont think my friend knows how to get that info

[vapid pier]

i was able to solve my issue. for anyone else hosting a server using Pterodactyl if you're behind NAT then you're going to need to edit the egg to either make it a variable or remove it from the config parser.
The egg currently sets the DirectConnectionServerAddress to the $SERVER_IP

[gritty nacelle]

They enabled direct connect. Who are you with host wise or self hosted?

[gritty nacelle]

This may be of use for you in the future
https://github.com/pterodactyl/game-eggs/tree/main/windrose

It tends to be updated fairly offen so you can check if they have it sorted.

[vapid pier]

that's where i got my fix. by chatting with the guy who made the egg.

[fathom creek]

I'm not hosting but I cant create my own server either it says N/A

How do you enable direct connect?

So I can tell my friend

[trail jewel]

Is there way to make the dropped items dissappear? It seems that the more you drop the worse the server runs.

[vapid pier]

edit the ServerDescription.json. set UseDirectConnection to "true". set DirectConnectionServerAddress to WAN IP. Set DirectConnectionSeverPort to the port allowed through your firewall

[gritty nacelle]

I dont think they disappear.

[trail jewel]

I think that's what causing teh "memory leaks" that people are complaining about

when we pick up the dropped stuff the server runs better

[gritty nacelle]

Will be more for the server to keep track of.

[crude breach]

What about those insane stutters guys ?? I have an rtx 4080 with i7 14700k .. even disable FG but keeps doing it

[paper mulch]

Hi, installed the server using SteamCMD, but when I run the bat file nothing happens. EXE pops up then just closes, no json files get created either

[dreamy socket]

try adding pause onto the bat file, and seeing if an error is displayed

at the bottom for pause

[paper mulch]

Nothing, just a blank console window

[dreamy socket]

do you have netcode 3.5 installed?

[dreamy socket]

netframework 3.5 and 3.8*

[paper mulch]

That might be it, just checking

[dreamy socket]

need to set it to true, then the server address, and the server port.

[dreamy socket]

I rarely have stutters

[daring warren]

Tried various solutions posted to fix infinite loading with no luck. My hope is a patch will fix it. Don’t really want to start over.

[limber oak]

Apologies if I missed the extra pointers elsewhere; one thing worth note: in the dir with “…Default…” is also “…Default_Backups…”, which has a snapshot of the same world (either 25, or 30 revisions back) with [DateTime]/WorldID each time you shut down the server. This allows one to restore to a previous state without having to manually take a snap before restore.

[dreamy socket]

feel free none of us are stopping you.

start menu > dxdiag > display what does it show for directx12

the features tells you which versions on dx12

I have it on a server running 12_1

which card? and driver?

To check your AMD driver version, open the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition app, go to System, then Software.

opening the NVIDIA Control Panel (found in the desktop context menu), navigating to System Information in the bottom-left corner, and looking for the "Driver Version".

[sweet meteor]

Thanks. I’m just a little confused how it works. I play solo so was expecting to have save slots or something I can just save the game - take a bunch of b roll shots - go back to the save for continuity reasons.
I’ll give it a go. This game saves when logging out right. So logout, copy files to another location- go back in

[dreamy socket]

it should if it's a local game, servers I believe it's every 20-30 mins or a restart

supports dx12

last driver I see was 2021 which is fairly old

[trail jewel]

That's what I mean, maybe the "memory leak" is actually the server having to use more memory to strore that other garbage. There should be either a timer for them to despawn, or a command that could be entered to remove all unclaimed loot.

[dreamy socket]

mine is a lot newer, can try to redownload directx and see if it'll correct it, otherwise I'd say try the -dx11 launch option

[dreamy socket]

I don't have a memory leak with 8+ players throwing stuff out.

[random sigil]

game doesnt support dx11

[dreamy socket]

i forgot, it was a battle on my matrox gpu. 🤣

[trail jewel]

I used "" because I don't think there's actually a memory leak. But people are seeing server issues when there are more things on the ground. Or so they claim

[dreamy socket]

Mine is usually cpu usage on 40 threads.. I get what you are saying

[olive hawk]

Can you reply to the person your helping so we know when we are being helped and who's getting answers for their issue please. It's very hard to keep track

[limber oak]

As TheBeardedDrake says, yah, that's the gist.
%AppData% -> Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles<SteamdID>\RocksDB\0.10.0\Worlds<GUID> (long random string of letters/numbers.. IMPORTANT: Do NOT rename these!)

This is where you'll want to save files from when the solo (or self-hosted server) is not running. I have not personally tested, but I suspect it's required to be down for a consistent state of the files.

If you are running a dedicated server, there will be a slightly different dir structure.

[vapid pier]

is there a way to change how many recursive backups are kept on dedicated server? i don't really need 25-30 of them.

[dreamy socket]

not that I've found, I manually clean them next day @vapid pier

[limber oak]

Alternatively, and this is of course entirely up to you, they aren't very large, if you have a bit of storage to spare:
windrose/4129620/R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default_Backups # du -sh
73M .

They do auto-rotate out, fwiw

[fathom spruce]

..........why though?

[round flicker]

Hey guys has anyone had issues with Windrose when you are trying to stream it on discord to show someone something your working on and the game just completely crashes?

[dreamy socket]

nope been streaming none stop for 3 days in discord with the game

[round flicker]

Ah okay well this is like the 3rd time the game has forced crashed on me when I started streaming it on discord so I was trying to see if it was a common thing or just me.

thank you.

[feral island]

I'm experiencing something really weird. I'm hosting a server for my friends, using docker container on quite a beefy machine. Everyone is able to connect to my server, except for me. Thought was that its because I'm on the same network, so I took my computer to another IP outside of my local LAN, and I tried to connect. I'm told that I show up in the game as connected, but I get kicked out to the main menu screen. I tried creating new character, no luck. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, no luck. I can connect if my friend hosts the game, but cannot connect to this dedicated server. I"m getting this in logs:

Thoughts?

[viral night]

anyone else have the problem of being stuck on a lo0ading screen trying to load into the game? Tried restarting and reinstalling

[sterile swallow]

Anyone else having more lag spikes AFTER the "patches" they did to fix the lag spikes? The first day or two, didn't have a single connection issue, lag spike, nothing. After the first and 2nd patch, they've gotten worse

[lime topaz]

You'd have to install the unofficial NimeZ driver for that card since it's failing on the DX12 Agility SDK which came out after this GPU stopped being supported.
R9 300 is able to run the UE5 feature set this game uses.

Brother, i just woke up, wdym "late"

[lime topaz]

Any news ?

[lime topaz]

As hinted before, i went to bed And i do not accept files in DMs, also it's better if you share them in a thread so other admins or game devs can pick them up instead.

I saw your other reply so I'm glad you got it running in the end !

Fortunately the mobile Discord client freezes in the past when it's put to sleep

The sad part about Microsoft DirectX Feature levels is that they are unreliable metric.

Legacy AMD cards somehow do support 64bit shader atomics ( or they emulate it) despite listing FL12_0 and this being a Shader Model 6.6/FL12_1 feature.
And on the other side Intel Iris Xe reports itself as FL12_1 but it fails on this exact hardware feature (UE logs report it as SM6.5 capable).

MS made half the features optional

[olive hawk]

So is there a solution yet for the private hosted server crashing every 5-10min issue yet? Has anyone worked out if files are corrupt or if its on the devs end?

[lime topaz]

My solo game is yet to crash.

[gentle chasm]

This seemed like the general area to ask for something like this, so I'm kind of stumped. I have frame rate issues and I've done everything I could think of.

I at first had it on an HDD, switched to SSD, no difference.

I went from medium to epic quality graphics and no change.

I've changed upscalers and chose ultra performance and done everything I could think that would make a difference and nothing.

The strangest thing is that my gpu isn't doing anything and my CPU ain't bottlenecking (I've checked and all threads are not maxxing out)

Everything is up to date driver wise, I'm stumped. If someone knows something, I'd appreciate it, please mention me so I see the message.

[olive hawk]

Solo is fine I'm asking about private paid hosted servers

[lime topaz]

Which hardware and which settings exactly?
There are reports of AI fake frames stuttering the game.
And some people on big.LITTLE Intel platforms have to force the game to not use E-cores.

[rich fossil]

anyone knows if the server COOP modifier
{"TagName": "WDS.Parameter.Coop.StatsCorrectionModifier"}

• which should handle the scaling for multiple people on server - works with proximity or server wide? I mean does it apply only if there are other players AROUND you or is it a general modifier as soon as someone joins the server

[trail jewel]

It's general to how many are on the sever, no matter how close they are

[rich fossil]

ok thanks... but this sucks a bit if sometimes people are just running around alone 😄

[trail jewel]

yup. that's why I turned it off

[rich fossil]

doing this now too thanks 😄

[twilit lake]

So hdr button works now. But drops fps by half

[manic ore]

what setting did you use to turn it off? set it to 0?

my wife and i usually run around together but the other 5-6 people on our server do a lot of solo stuff, even when other people are online.

I was gonna turn it off so they don't have to solo rly hard enemies but then when we do stuff together it would be super trivial it seems?

i wouldn't mind them scaling for more people but scaling when we are all separate on the server just rly hurts the solo people so i dunno wtf to set it to lol.. i think turning scaling off might be the best choice for now, especially since a lot of the people are just starting out.

[trail jewel]

set it to 0
"{"TagName": "WDS.Parameter.Coop.StatsCorrectionModifier"}": 0,

[manic ore]

nice i think we have it at the default setting... we went to the 2nd biome and there were people online elsewhere and omfg it was brutal lol... we felt like day 1 again O_o

i will try that right now. thx!

[trail jewel]

I also found that the default mob damage is way to high, had to drop it down. Even at lvl 11 gear the lvl 11 mobs on Jungle will one show me with over 1k health

"{"TagName": "WDS.Parameter.MobDamageMultiplier"}": 0.25,

[wide urchin]

Перестал подключаться к серверу друга, помогите

[rich fossil]

ye default is like 1.0 and its pretty stupid if there are couple people on the server. They need to fix this and only scale NPCs around people. But I guess this would not very high on their priority list 😉 Anyways, I also set it to 0 now and I think this will be much better for everyone since most of the 4-5 people do solo stuff

[rich fossil]

good information. I may take a look at this setting too. But we are only lvl 7-ish so I think for now the coop multiplier will do 😄

[potent seal]

Is coop working again maybe? Yesterday big problems with it

[fallow bobcat]

I'm running a Dedicated myself and i have the co-op health thing tuned down from 0.5 to 0.1. After multiple tries. Even 0.5 was ridiculous; after wailing on a single goat for 30 seconds i only got it down 1/4 health. Usually have about 6-7 people in the server. Resource draining at the start makes start up so slow, most of us play solo till we get our ketch before we rejoined the server. After that for other players who come in later, we made a rule to leave the copper in the first two islands alone.

[trail jewel]

The lowest is only 0.2, not sure if it works at 0.1, but per the guide it's 0.2-5.0. Personally I haven't had an issue with the health, but the damage is nuts

[fallow bobcat]

Eh? i didnt realize it was 0.2, either way i also tuned down the damage because people were getting one shot by feckin goats. I'm not pissed, just that I think they need to work on scaling a little to sort this out

I think the damage/health multiplier has to be tied vicinity based rather than a flat number across the board. My personal problem is that with it at its minimum value, when we hunt as a group, everything becomes too easy.

[hearty lark]

A lot of times I’ve opened an UI i start lagging for a 30 seconds. Happens a lot. Any idea how to fix?

Hello, guys. Can you help me with something? We want to try to set up a server, or a friend is creating a game via direct connect by IP address. We have friends who use cloud gaming, and for them, such programs as Radmir VPN are not available. Can you suggest how to set up the connection for them properly, or what needs to be done for that?

i have the same problem. if you find a way to fix it tell me please.. ahah

[restive cedar]

Why do NA and EU servers show N/A for some users while functioning normally for others?

[charred kayak]

Anyone know how to find world file in the games files?

[iron scaffold]

right. been ok all day, until i reloaded game just now. Now EU and NA arent available :T

[timber flax]

Is anyone having issues with the game closing on it's own with no crash report or anything like that?

[oblique wind]

They need to make items despawn ,islands littered with stuff u dont pick and just stays there cant be good for performance in the long run

[pseudo granite]

Whats a step by step guide to directly connect through IP session?

[olive hawk]

Yes I've been trying to find out if it's being worked on for hours. This gets skimmed over...not sure if my host can fix it or we have to wait till the devs fix it...

I'm presuming the devs need to fix it but I'm not getting any help

[zinc surge]

Hi Guys! I have a weird problem.
My Display just turns black randomly. It does not happen in other games nor in GPU Benchmarking or anything else.
I know those issues from bad cables and stuff, but as it only happens in Windrose i think its related to something else

[fickle jetty]

is there a way to increase fast travel bells ?

[zinc surge]

Mod

https://www.nexusmods.com/windrose/mods/54

In any case, use at own risk, backup savegame etc. Mods can break stuff.

[sand lily]

Yes, I've been getting 3 kinds of crashes while playing. In order of frequency, with most frequent at the top:

1. Game just closes - no errors or anything
2. Game goes to loading screen and then back to the main menu (this happens while actually playing)
3. UE-R5

[boreal ocean]

the game is using 50% of my memory or 16gb?

[cedar bough]

A player access my ship inventory. I thought no other player can access ship ship inventory. Can roll back saves?

[boreal ocean]

they shouldnt be able?

[cedar bough]

He drop lot of very rare items

Can I roll back my save files? If so can. how can do it

[olive hawk]

How do you know it was your ship and not his

[glad tartan]

Server we bought is lagging like crazy how can we fix this, we paid money for this

[olive hawk]

How many slots and gigs did you get?

[cedar bough]

Because he was use my ship and few days a player when my server take a lot stuff but found out ship the only locked chest in game so far

[olive hawk]

Don't think anyone else can access your inventory

[glad tartan]

10 slots

[subtle thistle]

what are your specs i have made a diagnostic tool to check your pc for the game

[wraith kettle]

Suspicious/10

[olive hawk]

It was recommended to me to pay for 16gigs if I got 10 slots

[glad tartan]

and no lag?

how many people?

[olive hawk]

No lag

16gigs 10slots

[glad tartan]

have you tested?

[olive hawk]

We get about 6-7ppl on

[wraith kettle]

how much memory it consume at this 6-7 players level ?
Im arround 7Go with 4 players connected (vanilla no mod)

[olive hawk]

But I'm paying $170 with streamline servers for my server

They use the latest hardware

[glad tartan]

is Nitrado bad?

[young shale]

Yes

[subtle thistle]

its all powershell commands there bud

[jolly rock]

I can't join my buddies in the game, and they can't join me.
I've tried some Youtube videos with DNS flush, port forwarding, firewall settings and so on.
When i try joining my buddy, the games starts up the loading screen.
And then after a minute it sends me back to the Main Menu - no error messages or anything.

My buddi gets a message that says I left the world right before I'm sent back to the Main Menu.

Anybody who have experienced this, and found a solution??

[subtle thistle]

a freely posted on github as well

[olive hawk]

You need a invite code

[glad tartan]

why?

[jolly rock]

I'm already using the invite code (and password)

[young shale]

I used them for a couple years, the customer service left a lot to be desired and there was always an issue with my servers. So bad to the point it forced me to build my own box and learn how to self host my servers.

[subtle thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/mando-way-this-is-the-way-mandalorian-star-wars-gif-18467370

[subtle thistle]

you can test and see if everything is working and you are connected

[jolly rock]

.. How? I can host my own server, but my buddies can't join me there either

[olive hawk]

I managed to get my server for $53 cheaper for 3 months with streamline which included the windrose discount for new server so first cost was $127

[subtle thistle]

you have to have all the correct ports open and that your isp is not blocking you

[jolly rock]

So do i just open port 1-9999?
And how to I check the isp?

[subtle thistle]

dont know if this will work given im new here lol

https://github.com/1r0nch3f/Windrose-Captain-Chest

hey look at that

as it has a lot of private info there is a option at the end to to redact your private info before it makes your txt info so it is shareable

[olive hawk]

To everyone having issues with your server crashing every 5-10mins, my game server provider fixed my server when I asked about it which had something to do with my game panel. I've asked for further detail. But so far it's not crashed.

[jolly rock]

I'm not that big of an IT guru.. Was just looking to see if anyone had the same issues as me, and had a solution that issue

[olive hawk]

I'd remove your password as it's not needed.

[jolly rock]

.... I did, it didn't help

[olive hawk]

Are you going through a gaming server provider? I'd contact them

[sage delta]

Well, that's fun. Slapped server on, moved all the save files and did the json configs. I have a workin' server - with correct progression. BUT - all my constructs are no where to be seen and I have zero map coverage. Huh.

[mystic vine]

That’s still so expensive given the limited resources they often give you access too in running 2 Windrose servers on a ancient pc with 32GB of ram and it’s free if you don’t factor in electricity 😂

[mystic vine]

Sounds like it’s not correct then your progression is tied to your character not the server check the world id make sure its loading the right one otherwise it will start a new world each reboot

[sage delta]

Yeah, need to dig in deeper. Weirdly just need to approach any of those ? marks and they become done.

[mystic vine]

Yeah if you’ve already done it on that character it will just mark it as completed cause you’ve already done it, Test it place something restart the server if it’s gone double check your config and make sure its loading the correct world id

Otherwise you won’t be progressing much in terms of building

[sudden igloo]

Hey guys, any idea how to actually host direct IP servers? One of our friends is only able to join through invite code using a VPN and its super laggy

[mystic vine]

Free vpn?

[sudden igloo]

nope, he paid for proton

[mystic vine]

Ahh good not a crap one, I mean varying in what server he connects will obviously add latency so make sure he’s using something local for starters.

[sudden igloo]

Yeah we connected to* the aussie one which hasn't had issues for us in the past

[mystic vine]

Are you Australian?

[sudden igloo]

ya

[mystic vine]

Yeah up until the patch mine was routing through Germany but it’s since been fixed thankfully it was adding 280ms to a server located no less than 2 metres to my right…

It’s doing it with the VPN and without it?

[sudden igloo]

we can't even connect without the VPN

with the VPN its like completely unplayable for him

[mystic vine]

What ISP are you with?

[sudden igloo]

He's with Telstra

I'm with spintel

mine works perfectly fine

[abstract wyvern]

well if you want to connect with direct ip you can try RadminVPN

[sudden igloo]

We'll give it a shot

[mystic vine]

also just for my own curiosity and sanity he doesn’t have a Telstra smart modem does he 😂

[sudden igloo]

he does

[mystic vine]

Ugh ok I mean it’s unlikely but having worked for nbn

The only good thing about Telstra is they don’t use cgnat however the smart modems often have a wireless SIM card backup in the back of the router, for his own sanity if it’s a gen 2 just take it out as that does indeed use cgnat and cgnat & gaming never gets along also check upnp is enabled if you can the smart modems are really restrictive

[sage delta]

@mystic vine It was one wayward extra space in the id that blew that world down. Pesky things.

[mystic vine]

Once had a customer lose their service (FTTP) modem never flicked back over to fibre they had been paying for 1gbps and only getting 20mbps for a year.

[mystic vine]

Yeah sounds about right

[sage delta]

But all in all, surprisingly simple. Just getting those ID*s are somewhat a hassle.

[mystic vine]

It ain’t that bad until you see space engineers server config

[sage delta]

I can believe that.

[sudden igloo]

this worked perfectly, tysm dude

[abstract wyvern]

no problem, it also works great for other "LAN" games, for example Minecraft

[mystic vine]

Brings me back to the ol hamachi days lol

[abstract wyvern]

yeah, this one is a bit better than hamachi, but generaly the same thing

problem with hamachi was its tunneling that didnt want to work for me and some ppl no matter what

[mystic vine]

I never had any issues with it idk if it’s still the same anymore

[abstract wyvern]

well on my old laptop i didnt have any isues and on my pc it just didnt work, and i tried everything to fix it

[mystic vine]

Hamachi hosted Minecraft Tekkit server and being in a ts3 server with my homies will always been in my memory

Miss those days minecraft modding is too annoying now too many mod loaders, apis, compatibility issues.

Started playing a pack a while back and all of a sudden it just stopped working would boot fine but the moment someone joined instant brain fart wouldn’t crash because it was so fruited it just sat there forever - turns out it was a modded crop that had grown and didn’t like existing. A crop… from a random farmers delight add on…

[mystic vine]

But don’t think it’s limited to Nitrado any host sucks they are a hosting company they want money at the end of the day and the only real way to do that cheaply is to oversell their resources.

[subtle thistle]

yeah bad things with mods is if the mod makers is not up on the updates and patches then everything breaks, go through it a lot with HD2

[cloud holly]

i played the game fine / an then played game on laptop / now back on my PC i cant get pass the loading screen?

[opaque pivot]

Known issue, don't play on multiple devices

You'll have to restore from backup if the backup isn't corrupt

[mystic vine]

Unfortunately common think there was a announcement made about it but I guess most people have joined here because they’ve had an issue lol

Given the amount of ppl encountering the issue I’m sure a fix will be implemented soon at least now you have backups you can put on if you lost it 🙏

[cloud holly]

lol where do i find the backup ? im an unga bunga 🥴

[plain berry]

Hi, I'm experiencing a loading issue and would appreciate any help.

Platform: Steam
Play mode: Solo only
When it occurs: Immediately after launching — stuck on the loading/main menu screen and cannot proceed at all

System specs:

• OS: Windows 11 Pro 64-bit
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
• GPU: GIGABYTE RTX 5080
• RAM: 64GB DDR5 (32GB × 2)
• Storage: NVMe SSD

What I've already tried:

1. Fully restarted PC and Steam
2. Verified game file integrity via Steam
3. Checked for the MANIFEST fix — but the Saved folder does not exist anywhere inside the R5 directory
4. Attempted save data reset — no save files were found

It seems like the game has never successfully written any local data on my system at all.

Has anyone else run into this? Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks!

[opaque pivot]

There's a pin in #1493364524705775657

[split plinth]

My friends and I created a dedicated server, but after almost 30 hours of gameplay we can no longer connect. Anyone else having the same problem?

[opaque pivot]

Update drivers, use studio drivers instead of game ready, update bios on motherboard - these seem to be common fixes for that issue

[split plinth]

same here, we can load our game. start but the game crashes or return to menu. we are running a local server

4 people, almost 120 hrs in total.

[mystic vine]

Shut down the server and ensure it’s updated, double check the configuration since the update.

hello, my friends cant connect to my server, in logs i found
Error: Unexpected BL disconnect. AccountId 9E99D7C6485F6F8DDBF9C786940E7B98. BLPlayerSessionId '43c9f8ee71ce4887890dea7e2150f6f9'

[subtle thistle]

also make sure all you VC and NET fream work files are uptodate

[feral island]

I have same issue. Many users can connect, one can't

[spiral rune]

i can connect to my friend, but they cant connect to me

[feral island]

Yup

[subtle thistle]

you have a blocking issue for your network or your friend does

[feral island]

No blocking, all ports are open

[spiral rune]

i added rules for this game in brandmauer

[subtle thistle]

then they have the issue

[feral island]

How is that possible? They can connect to other games

[spiral rune]

why i can connect to them, but they cant connect to me?

[subtle thistle]

quite a few ISP block and a lot of users are behind a CGNAT and dont know it

[feral island]

Both users are on the same ISP

[subtle thistle]

because major games pay to have the ports open so there is no issues

[feral island]

I posted logs no one looked yet I guess

[spiral rune]

should i turn off nat on my router? or upnp is enough?

[feral island]

That doesn't explain why other people are able to connect

It's only this one user running the game on Linux that is not able to connect

[subtle thistle]

so then its their router

[feral island]

Both users have identical routers, both users have everything network wise identical, the only difference is operating system

[subtle thistle]

ah then there as it handles differently than windows

[feral island]

If you're going to keep pointing at stuff at least backup your statements or ask qualifying questions

[subtle thistle]

cant answer the question correctly if i do not have all the info and a different OS would have been a major one to say first

[feral island]

Did you read the logs I posted? That has all the info.

[subtle thistle]

are they posted in here?

[feral island]

Yes

[subtle thistle]

one sec

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-sunglasses-book-reading-gif-17804335886508438673

[subtle thistle]

i see a backend disconnect im guessing its on the backend layer, they are connecting fine it seems but my guess would be its the linux build for the game

those should go to the support team to have them look at it

[spiral rune]

can u check my logs about error?

[feral island]

What is the correct method to submit full logs to support? As this is snippet?

[spiral rune]

check it please @subtle thistle

[subtle thistle]

the message txt would work im guessing check the support channel

[subtle thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/frantic-studying-reading-exams-exams-week-gif-7530000

[dark elm]

I have essentially the same issue and im guessing its my router, but I can play other local multiplayer games like repo, lethal company, peak, content warnings etc (I am on windows tho)

[subtle thistle]

yeah i built in a network check for the diagnostic script in power shell for the game i might just seperate it out and make it a stand alone lol

[dark elm]

https://tenor.com/view/nayib-yonki-brozo-gif-21674202

I aint that clever man, thanks for your work tho

[subtle thistle]

lol its a batch file that just runs powershell commands to check ports hardware etc

[dark elm]

ahh that I understand

[subtle thistle]

https://github.com/1r0nch3f/Windrose-Captain-Chest

[dark elm]

Thanks, will report back

[subtle thistle]

you have the same issue as that is a Linux user trying to connect

[spiral rune]

so, what should i do?

[subtle thistle]

same error code as well lol

tell the user to use windows

seems that there is a client side bug for linux

[spiral rune]

[feral island]

Oh trust me we will be trying that

[river adder]

подскажите, пожалуйста, как передать прогресс созданного сервера другому пользователю правильно?
дело в том, что прогресс у другого пользователя сохранен, но как только я как прошлый владелец захожу на сервер, то у другого пользователя перестает функционировать мир

[spiral rune]

another my friend cant connect too, but he use windows

[subtle thistle]

that is prob a router and or update im guessing

[spiral rune]

maybe i should turn off NAT?

[dark elm]

@subtle thistle I appreciate the comitement to theming

[subtle thistle]

for both of y'all i would try and check what proton they are using

[subtle thistle]

i mean why not lol

[spiral rune]

or working upnp is enough?

[subtle thistle]

i would have them restart steam first

[steady rose]

Hi there, I'm having issues with the dedicated server. Whenever someone joins, through invite code OR direct connection, it crashes. Logs in thread

[opaque pivot]

You can't use both invite code and direct connection, it's one or the other.

[stray agate]

Hello, why i can`t play in Offline ?

[restive quail]

Not sure what you mean. Normally you can play single player worlds when Steam is in Offline mode.

[pliant kestrel]

Why cant my friend join my server, it keeps crashing the game for him everytime he tries to connect to it? 🤔

[subtle thistle]

are they on linux?

[pliant kestrel]

No, we are both on windows

[subtle thistle]

then a port,ISP block on your and or their end

[pliant kestrel]

how to fix then?

hello, help me pls!

[shy cloak]

Anyone has idea how it works ? Whenever I change something - it feels the same.

[pliant kestrel]

narc i was first in line

[gritty nacelle]

For sanity sake, You are hitting save yes?

Also i advise stopping the server frist

[steady rose]

does the server auto read config updates? i think you may have to restart it for changes to take effect

[shy cloak]

Yes, I stopped server, changed setting and click save. Game is kinda hard for my son, so want to change few things.

[steady rose]

are you using invite codes or direct connect

[pliant kestrel]

i have tried with both

[gritty nacelle]

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1495674763094523985

I assume your on nitrado, try this

[pliant kestrel]

i have tried with both, but both kick him

[steady rose]

no idea then, sorry
-# the advice on ports blocking would be applicable for direct connect (you need to make sure to have port forwarding set up for the port you choose)

[pliant kestrel]

what the flip

[dreamy socket]

Windows reigns supreme KEKW

[silver lantern]

Anyone got this bug whee you cannot move enything in ur inventory or interact with much and npcs are naked?

seems to be only me my server is hosted from home server

how does the game work cus my stuff smelted and grew when i was not playing

[silver lantern]

Nah i have no mods active

[cobalt python]

I need help! I am stuck in loading to going to the game title.

Ok i don't need no more help i fix it!! 😀

Hi im stuck in loading screen going to a server

any way to fix?

Whatever I do, it resets on 1.

[lime topaz]

Are there any log files present in %LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\Logs (no, not in SteamApps) ?

[fathom meteor]

PLEASE HELP. I’ve been playing this game on a Gportal server with a friend on Saturday. Game ran great no issues at all. Sunday after the update I can’t get into his world anymore. The game freezes on a loading screen when connecting to his world. I can hear the ocean audio but stuck on a frozen loading screen. PLEASE HELP

[lime topaz]

But did you have had any on the server/client using that world/character particular save ?

[rocky cypress]

is there a way to rebind the ship management key at the helm ? and the deposit similar key at chests?

[silver lantern]

Nah never had mods active

[stray agate]

Hello, does anyone know why I can’t play offline? Every time I press start, after a short loading screen it kicks me back to the start selection. Reinstalling didn’t help, creating a new character in a new world didn’t help either.

[lime topaz]

Unfortunately not yet.

[rocky cypress]

alright thanks

[honest matrix]

There is no Logs folder in %LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved, only SavedProfiles (this folder has my Steam ID and the steam_autocloud.vdf file)

[lime topaz]

There might be a crash log entry in Windows Event Viewer somewhere.

[honest matrix]

In Windows Event Viewer, I found error in BootstrapPackagedGame.

[fathom meteor]

Same that was happening yesterday! Never happened before. My dad is sick so

[spiral carbon]

i just checked, my ISP is blocking the game :/

[stray agate]

What is ISP ?

[fathom meteor]

Does that happen randomly?

[spiral carbon]

wait, i need to try port forwarding for maybe it will fix it.

[errant bough]

Hiya, is the save file location always C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\Logs even when the games installed to a different drive??
I don't have an R5 folder in that location.

[lime topaz]

So before anything else, reinstall MSVCR 2022 (vcredist x64, 2022-2026 from microsoft's official website).

But the chaance is that the game might not be recognizing that your CPU supports AVX instruction set, so a BIOS update/reset might be needed.

[lime topaz]

Unreal's default save file location for Shipping build is indeed %LOCALAPPDATA%, it is not in SteamApps.

[errant bough]

Am I in the wrong place?

[lime topaz]

That is correct location, have you booted the game on that PC yet ?

[stray agate]

Hello, does anyone know why I can’t play offline? Every time I press start, after a short loading screen it kicks me back to the start selection. Reinstalling didn’t help, creating a new character in a new world didn’t help either.

Hello, I wanted to know if this is a known issue and if it will be fixed soon. I currently can't play online (hosted games and joining games), I'm not talking about Nitrado servers. My game is stuck in an infinite loading screen...

[lime topaz]

It's a gamble between hosted server issue, networking issue and corrupted save.
Way too many issues in this game build sadly.

[wind dome]

Anyone know the files path for saved game on linux. (Linux noob just switched a week ago) Is there a version of appdata%?

[errant bough]

Windows decided to not save it to the local account. /groan

New problem. I dropped the save file my friend gave me into there, but it's not showing up in the game. Only my original world save is showing up.
Any ideas? (Or do I need to go #1493364524705775657 for that?

[fathom meteor]

Yeppppp

[lime topaz]

No clue for either of your questions.

[errant bough]

I'll give a go what I just found in pins.

[fathom meteor]

That’s really sad. Was having a blast playing with a friend on his Gportal server Saturday. Sunday came and he could connect but I get stuck with a frozen loading screen and a game that won’t ALT F4

[daring warren]

Yeah I had to delete 10 hours of save progress to play again...

[ripe tiger]

Certainly a json file which has the world number etc named something like that WorldDescription.json missing to load the good world

[errant bough]

This?

[honest matrix]

I turned on AVX in the BIOS settings, disabled running as administrator, and the game started working. Thanks!

[green cosmos]

Hello , i cant join or host any server, it always says connection error or servers are N/A

[daring warren]

For those self hosting servers using docker, make sure to add network_mode: host and you should be able to join the server without getting kicked back to main menu

[ripe tiger]

Yes. It may be helpfull https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3706337486

windrose is pretty intensive on the cpu side, so when you load a live map (tracks ships and other stuff) it most likely is bottlenecking your cpu and causing your system to ramp up to keep it cooled

[grizzled shard]

Hmm, that should be optimized on the Devs side then I guess

But thanks for the answer

[frozen gate]

will do if it repeats

trying fully removing (inc demo) and re-installing game

[polar breach]

yeah it will be over time I assume, when running our server it always runs at about 30fps, but the client will run at 60, but once a hour or so i get major fps drop on the client side for about 10-15 seconds then it fixes itself for another hour or so

[daring warren]

Steam cloud saves are whats killing my save at least. I suggest turning off for now.

[grizzled shard]

Oh alright, well I've been hosting 2 friends yesterday and that was working pretty good tbh

[polar breach]

self hosted on your pc as well?

[grizzled shard]

Yep exactly

[rugged shoal]

I did that. I also made sure comp region lang was English(US), cleared steam cache, selected russian then english in game and none of it worked....but, uninstalling and re-installing did. Musta had a corrupt config from initial install.

[rugged coral]

my old save file got stuck on loading screen how can i fix this

[remote cargo]

Im stuck after the game stuck in loading screen for like 14 minutes my character is not on someone know to fix this?

[tight olive]

Hello there, got some serious performance issues randomly appear when opening / shutting a chest or a menu

[lime topaz]

That's probably a corrupted save, so disable Steam Cloud and start over, or if you have a working backup you could use that.

[wraith kettle]

Some people get the server crash when they just click "reorder" in inventory so...

[prime vector]

Hi guys, all the connection services show n/a and when i try to join a friends game it shows unexpected error. Any tips ?

[wraith kettle]

At this point there is so much connection issue reported that i really hope a patch is in the way

[boreal apex]

anyone got a server I can try joining? I see that they've done a new patch and I wanted to test if I can finally join people and not be stuck on loading screens

[remote cargo]

I do it but still doesn’t work

[timid terrace]

so im struggling with cloud agian its not working

[remote cargo]

This patch fks everyone haha

[rare field]

Could anyone help me with how I could change my server from p2p to direct connection?

[red hearth]

not sure if this is the right channel for it, but this pops up if i try to boot up the game. how do i fix it?

[timid terrace]

cloud is not working i have to start a new game every time i get on, when game does a cloud update then game will not run. if i delete the clud uplad then game runs.

[lime topaz]

Post either dxdiag report or game client log file.

[red hearth]

i dont know what this means

[twin stirrup]

hello, me and my friends are unable to joinn to the server after we bought it from nitrado ?

it returns us to main menu or crashes

[timid terrace]

this is solo game im having issues with

[lime topaz]

Create a thread in #1493364524705775657 and ping me in there.

[timid terrace]

is this cloud issue being worked on

[sullen adder]

what graphics setting would i need to lower if having more fire around makes me lag, the more fire there is the more frames i lose

[fickle tartan]

Hello, i created my server, i DL and do the transfert with FillZilla ,i join my server, i keeped my stuff, character but i have lose my all base, it's normal ?

( i used 4netplayers)

[tranquil wharf]

what does status r5 check mean?

[mighty garden]

Anyone know a fix for this issue? Someone mentioned something about bottlenecking but im not sure where to start to fix it? ive updated all my drivers using a software and audio and graphics both are updated

[dusty forum]

hi. any moderators around?

@covert elk

[charred scroll]

@mighty gardenLemme know if you find a fix for it, also experiencing this

@dusty forum It's <@&1354821664998817822>

[dusty forum]

thanks

[subtle thistle]

that would depend on your specs

[mighty garden]

Anythihng specific you would like to know

[subtle thistle]

i mean general, cpu ram and gpu

[dusty forum]

does anyone know the devs who made the game?
Their ig, yt or twitter accs?

[sweet tapir]

why @are American joining servers and everyone else around the world cant even host their own server?

[mighty garden]

CPU is a INtel i5-9600k
GPU is RTX 3080
Ram is 32gb

[subtle thistle]

check the socials on steam

[subtle thistle]

desktop of laptop

[mighty garden]

Desktop

[subtle thistle]

1080p?

[mighty garden]

yup

[subtle thistle]

yeah your cpu is stuggling to keep up

[misty turtle]

Yesterday when me and 2 friends got our first ships, our server crashed (self hosted) and is no longer starting, I can brefily see some error messages in console before it crashing, anyone that can help me?

[subtle thistle]

that is the reason techtuber use 1080p to test how good one is with like a 5090 as the cpu becomes the bottle neck

[rugged coral]

same issue

[mighty garden]

Ah

I also noticed something under my dxdiag under sound

from 4/6/25 could this also be an iss ue?

[subtle thistle]

you have usb headphones?

[mighty garden]

Yeah

hyperx

[subtle thistle]

that is the windows usb driver it is using then

[subtle thistle]

local server or hosted one?

[mighty garden]

ah gotcha. Its just weird. I havent noticed this isssue in any ot her game ive played recently. Even new releases

Thanks for the help though NERDS

[charred scroll]

Did you play before the hotfixes and it was fine?

[misty turtle]

self hosted dedicated server, worked fine on Sunday, no issues at all but yesterday like 15 min after getting our ships and installing canons it just crashed and now wont start

[fickle tartan]

nobody know ?

[mighty garden]

Ive had the problem since launch

[subtle thistle]

the new patch seemed to have an issue with some also its not a widely used port

[subtle thistle]

make sure y'all updated to new version

[misty turtle]

all updated, we played on the new update before the crash

I mean the server wont even start, I can see like 10 error messages in console before it crash but not long enough to see what it actualy is

[subtle thistle]

im in the middle of working on network script to check ports lol

[wind adder]

anyone have luck getting the game to work past the cloud save loading screen of death?
i'm updated, back up files have been accessed, not sure what to do next.

i'm trying a reinstall to see if it's playable for me rn.

[grim zinc]

server

[sly fox]

Tried selfhosting a just now, people on my local network can join however, if you're from another network then you "leave" the game after just a few seconds. Then they host and people on their local network can join however we on out network get kicked after a few seconds. Any solves?

[icy vine]

hi I have the problem that my friend can't join me and I can't join him every time we try to connect to each other it just puts us back to the main menu

[upper glacier]

it could be a number of things, but if it's not a common experience for you, did you happen to install a windows update around the time you noticed the stuttering (last week)? i had a very noticeable issue directly following the update that i'd never experienced, that rolling back actually fixed.

[icy vine]

i really need some help

[subtle thistle]

That "kicked after a few seconds" pattern when hosting is usually UDP/3478 being blocked on your side or your router security.

[sly fox]

how do i fix this UDP/3478 then?

[icy vine]

I don't even know what UDP/3478 is.

[copper ether]

When i try to join a server the game loads then game closes it self back to desktop anyone found a fix for this?

[icy vine]

we have the same problem
in between

[copper ether]

Its so fustrating😅

Its like i need to afk in the server to be able to play in the server when i get off for the night

But i cant keep my pc running constantly

[upper glacier]

-check "allow an app through firewall" and make sure you have windrose allowed on whichever type of network you're using (private/public)
-you want your device to be discoverable on a network in this case
-make sure you have upnp enabled (typically via your router)

[hexed mountain]

when i host a DS sometimes my ping are low, sometimes high. why?

[copper ether]

Tried this to doesn’t work

[upper glacier]

check event viewer for any logged info regarding a blocked connection, perhaps

[subtle thistle]

i have been accumulating a TS guide that y'all can go through

[copper ether]

Ive done everything they have given me to do for connections none of it works

[subtle thistle]

https://github.com/1r0nch3f/Windrose-Troubleshooting

im working on the powershell script to check ports and such

back on my profile there is also a captain chest script top check everything lol

[copper ether]

Theres obviously no fix for it yet so i guess i have to wait till they bring out a hotfix to play this game

[subtle thistle]

ok i think i got it working for the quick check lol

[upper glacier]

you could run services.msc and check if ssdp discovery and upnp host are enabled/running...
sounds like NERDS has something that could help

[subtle thistle]

kind of in the same boat as when helldiver2 came out

get it boat...pirates....

[copper ether]

My isp isnt blocking it ive already given them a call about it I’ve pretty much done everything i can play any other game no issues but this game some reason is a bug issue

[lavish juniper]

Hi i have problem with my game the problem is Endless loading times and no menu on the home screen

[misty turtle]

btw manage to save my server with one o the backups, just swaped out the folder in the root folder and now it's working again

[subtle thistle]

Windrose TS

ok back to regular work

[copper ether]

I play with a big streamer its really frustrating that this game has server issues sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t

When he needs me on i cant get on

[upper glacier]

oh yea, i've never experienced an isp blocking anything, it's just common for overzealous security features to disable (by default, at least) important settings/services/features that are required for all of this networking to function, and it's really sensitive.

[copper ether]

I have them disabled

Theres nothing blocking it so idk why the game closes it self while joining a server with no error message

[upper glacier]

if any exception occurs, it should be logged in the event viewer

[copper ether]

Ive already given nitrado my r5 logs

[cedar oak]

Hi tehre, can you reach out in #1495518685719433246 ? Please provide your user ID as well to locate your account.

[copper ether]

I have the best paid internet as well plus ethernet

Also have a 5090 pc

[upper glacier]

just search for "event viewer" and check out the summary of admin events and see what exactly is happening when your game is messing up. it's not about internet necessarily, it could be a number of things.

[copper ether]

Where do i go to find event veiwer

[open turret]

[4/5] Probing UDP/3478 with STUN (the port commonly blocked)...
FAIL : STUN/TURN (P2P signaling) 3478/udp (no STUN reply, likely blocked)

I used the powershell command, how can I undo this and not to be that guy but why in the hell do we need this port for a game that doesnt have voice or prox chat lol?

[upper glacier]

just use win search, or, win button + s, and type in "event viewer"

[copper ether]

Gotcha

[upper glacier]

upnp uses that port to make its initial connection

[open turret]

i have the rules and nothing on my isp page or my router, short of calling my isp what else can I do

[copper ether]

@upper glacier now what do i look for

[upper glacier]

through your router you should be able to enable upnp, or, NAT forwarding, which should allow it to connect

[open turret]

hmm its on always for other games so yeah dont know anymore

[mild current]

I have a dedicated server on a standalone machine through AMP. My two friends are playing on it ATM. I can't connect. Just gets put back to the main menu. I can do the tutorial, but when I finished it I am kicked back to the main menu

[winged thicket]

Does anyone actually have an answer to why the ping to a local dedicated server has unstable ping, so much its unplayable? I have tried to connect with direct IP as well, ping is still way too high and it laggs

Is the game forced through steam relays or something?

[main spoke]

Guys, I have a problem where I start the game and it just loads, the main menu doesn't load either. Can you help?

I'm trying on my laptop... my desktop works perfectly...

[upper glacier]

so, under event viewer and custom views, there is usually this "administrative events" log.
scroll through that and see what's happening at the time your game attempts to connect, then doesn't, then closes....there should be an error or warning

[maiden path]

Same problem since 2 days

[main spoke]

It worked but I'm not happy about it, I deleted my profile data... and it started right away.

%LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles

[maiden path]

From what I read Playing from different devices, the Steam cloud corrupts save files. Even tough I didnt play on a different device then my PC.

[opaque pivot]

Don't play on multiple devices until they can fix the cloud ssync issue

[maiden path]

And this causes it

[copper ether]

@upper glacier 😂

[opaque pivot]

and disable cloud sync for single computer play

[maiden path]

So is my save file of 10 hours just gone now?

[subtle thistle]

have you ran the check to see?

[copper ether]

how do i do that

[subtle thistle]

if it was me i would run the full sail on the script but even the triage also there is TS guide i have been collecting as well
https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1495848830510436354

[mild current]

Disabling cloud and deleting save does not fix it. Crash to main menu after tutorial still

[copper ether]

tcp/ip failed to establish a connection with a risk of data corruption

that is wild 😆

[plucky estuary]

Based on what I have read in the troubleshooting, they are using STUN .. which means a connection to a local server would use NAT Hairpinning which your firewall/router might not like.

[copper ether]

from what i read on my pc its forced

my pc does not like it at all

[upper glacier]

is that the error you're getting, the tcpip 4227? so basically there are no open ports, or, exahausted ephemeral ports, or something to that end...?

[copper ether]

yes

[scarlet owl]

Hello, if my friends and I want to rent a server for the game on Nitrado, is it possible to transfer my friend’s save to the server? (I’m guessing it is possible without doing too much research for this specific game.)

[digital drift]

I'll take "I clicked a suspicious link for 500" please Mr Harvey

hello mods!

[digital drift]

Yup! Their KB should have a guide on it, or you can ask their team direct via #1495518685719433246 ✅

[plucky estuary]

click all the links !

[scarlet owl]

, Appreciated. Thanks!

[upper glacier]

i know of a couple of ways to maybe fix this and it's not something i'd suggest here, but try searching online for how to fix that specific event

[copper ether]

ye no thx

even myself as tech its not something i would touch

i rather wait for them to fix these issues then play around with anything

[maiden lake]

Hello. I seem to no longer log into my solo world. It hangs in the Loading Screen and goes no where. I treid login her into a Hosted game and have no issue there. Any idea what is wrong? Oh yeah, I tried Verifying the files, already.

[upper glacier]

that's the best idea, tbh

[balmy coyote]

does anyone have a solution for this yet?

[opaque pivot]

You should be connecting via local IP and not the public IP

That's assuming your network is where the AMP instance is running at

[sly fox]

So we finally found a fix that worked for us. We joined a private VPN Server (using the free Radmin VPN) - then joining via IP and using the gameservers port along with the hosting players IP.

[opaque pivot]

save is probably corrupt, delete / move the save somewhere else and try to start a new game

[maiden lake]

So I lose the world? Well that poots. 🙁

[opaque pivot]

you can move it to another folder to test, but likely yes. That seems to be the main fix

[hushed dragon]

I was looking for cause on not being able to start game server on my older PC i7700k. Figured out that cause was missing TPM module (sad)

[maiden lake]

ok

[maiden lake]

Move.....wher would I move it too?

[opaque pivot]

Check for firmware updates on your board, that old of a processor usually needs an update or two

[opaque pivot]

desktop. Just out of that folder, you want to test it works without the save, but not delete it, you just move it to another location and see if it works. If it still doesn't work, it's something else and you can put the folder back

[maiden lake]

ok ty

[rigid temple]

hello. Is there an INI file or anything for server settings? Hosted on Nitrado.
We love this game btw.. freaking love it.

[winged thicket]

What does this server status mean:

[cedar oak]

Hi there!
Only basic General Settings are available in the web interface. Some additional configuration can be adjusted manually in the save files folder, inside the WORLDDESCRIPTION.JSON file

[cedar oak]

Hi there, you can follow the steps in this wiki to do so.
https://server.nitrado.net/en-US/guides/how-to-upload-a-local-world-to-your-windrose-server/
I hope this help you with the process.

[hushed cloak]

self hosted Docker based server stuck at server is starting in logs

[elfin raven]

is there a full sample .json file somewhere? The default one is missing the custom stuff. I've seen a few possible ones in here

[hushed cloak]

https://github.com/indifferentbroccoli/windrose-server-docker , this shows a default server ServerDescription.json you can copy paste from

[maiden lake]

Its not the save. it seems to be the chracter. I had her on a Hosted Server for a bit, now she can't get back on my Solo game.

[empty perch]

ive been playing with 6 friends on my own server.

but it is SUPER laggy. is it a issue on my side (server) or of the game?
because befor the last update it was MUCH better

[elfin raven]

Thanks - at least I already had the basic stuff working and can connect fine 🙂

[lavish juniper]

where is my menu

[plucky inlet]

@cedar oakhi, we have a server hosted by nitrado. Now we wanted to play, but the server died, we rebooted, but it hangs. What should we do?

[small pulsar]

did invite codes on dedicated servers break?

[serene egret]

My friends have lost connection in coop, but me and they have good internet connection, is it some problem by Windrose ?

[fleet elk]

Hello, I can't launch a hosted server. It just takes me back to the main menu, do you know why?

[cedar oak]

Can you create a ticket in the #1495518685719433246 ? Please provide your user ID in your request

[safe karma]

guys from SurvivalServers where trying to do something to help with lag/rubberbanding, nothing helped. Latest patch completely killed gameplay. Its a dissaster. What I nottice is that game is transfering insane ammount of data, most the time over 20 000 B/s sometimes even 38 000. Thats a lot compering for example to World Of Sea Battle, where game transfer less then 5 000 B/s. Hope some day you can fix that and hope it'll not take month as you know, these servers are not for free.

[uncut crow]

There something going on with Nitrado right now? I can't connect to my server at all just kicks me back to main menu and I've reset the server

Oh I guess i could have scrolled up by half a second to see in fact people are having issues with Nitrado lol....

[wraith kettle]

Can't try now but was working 1h ago

[dense jolt]

Hello , my wife and I recently started playing and she seems to lag a lot when I host the server. I noticed there's a "direct IP" option available when joining a server. Is there a way for us to connect directly through that ??

[restive quail]

It is a different way of connecting, but it is not actually fully direct IP connection. Still has to talk to the Windrose servers.
You can try it, but in my testing it was more hassle than it was worth.

[dense jolt]

Ahh okay, good to know before I put time into messing with it. Im aware that Windrose is having issues with server at the moment so we will survive until they are fixed 😅

[restive quail]

Host should be whoever has the best CPU, and Intel's fake E-cores do not count.

[dense jolt]

Gotcha!

My laptop has a 14900hx she has a Ryzen, not sure which gen

[restive quail]

Yeah, your CPU is a problem unless you are running Linux.

[upper glacier]

Could also help to enable edge traversal, which is probably disabled

[dense jolt]

Understood

[dense jolt]

Ill look into that too , good to know

[restive quail]

Though the 14900hx claims to have 24 cores, only eight of them are good for anything that isn't a lazy background task. You can use Process Lasso to make sure programs don't get stuck on the fake cores, or just disable them in BIOS.
It's sad when Intel's leading CPU only has 1/3rd of the silicon actually able to do anything. Windows doesn't help with it's process priority handling either.
