[light forge]

The server itself detects the player connecting but they never load into it

[smoky widget]

yeah i figured since theres alot of others having same problem, theres not much we can do as players rather than report and wait

[light forge]

sadly seems like the case

[smoky widget]

thats aight, hopefully the wait's not that long, since we paid the server for a month already

[light forge]

we tried setting the server's world back to one of the backups from last night, that didn't work, same with the IPV4/IPV6 thing

[tough warren]

I cant even load into the game. No ones been able to help me. Kinda frustrating

[rocky heron]

who are you using? im using gportal

[smoky widget]

im using Survivalservers

oh u asking him

[thorn vigil]

Hello, anyone has a problem to join windrose hosted server too?

[simple sage]

yep im getting a CTD whenever i try to join my hosted server. Also causes the server to crash too, so that's fun

[mild current]

Big problems. Got further disabling invite codes, forcing IP connect. But still unstable.

[mild current]

I got server crash later, when reconnecting. Rebuilds and everything.

[thorn vigil]

Soo, hosted server doesnt work? am not alone right?

[dreamy socket]

I self host, 40 cores, 512 gb of ram KEKW

[dreamy socket]

Mine are 100% operational

[rocky heron]

does anyone have a list of public servers i can try to join to see if its my ISP or something. if i can join somone elses then ill know its gpotal being weird 100%

[dreamy socket]

there's no "official" public servers as you can easily grief and steal items most people wont want to hand out their server info.

[rocky heron]

oh i see

[torpid peak]

hello, can anyone has fixed this ? 🙂

[serene otter]

cant connect to game on same network. is there a problem

[kind harness]

It seems to be a problem somewhere, I can't login either

[serene otter]

its just loading and nothing happens

[violet grail]

Guys, got a rentet Windows Server and it has more then enough Power to run the game... the Server (Windrose) it self runs prty smooth, but the longer we play, the longer it takes to loot and starts lagging a bit... were 5 guys playing - cutting trees (in swamp atm) does take to spawn the loot a long time now and it is rly frustrating.. does anyone has the same issues or maybe a fix for it?

The CPU and RAM never goes above 60%... could it be cause the server is live connected to the update server? (im wondering why there is a connection to it, because singleplayer wont have it either)

[silver fractal]

Same issue, not tech savvy enough to know, but the issue is on Windrose devs' end, specifically with the dedicated server client build they sent out to server providers.

[violet grail]

nice to hear that we are not alone

[barren canopy]

In my 5 hours playtime my game has crashed at least 20 times. Does anyone know what I can do? I disabled GPU hardware acceleration, checked my windows for corrupted files, tried running as admin (which didn't even let my game boot at all), verified the integrity of game files, Enabled compatibilty for other windows, ....

[lime topaz]

Could you create a thread in #1493364524705775657 and share your crashlogs in there ?

[little flame]

Seems like the Co-Op issues are happening to everyone. Anyone with AT&T Fiber have issues connecting with friends?

[potent dawn]

i created a invited code was able to get on with external players, on a dedi in my network, now invited codes doesnt work tried p2p setting and got ports forwarded to the server machine, but external ip:port doesnt work but internal:port ip does

[silver fractal]

Our best guess is, tracking player positions especially when on the open water contributes to it.

[potent dawn]

does "UseDirectConnection": true, disable the invite code

[kind harness]

still not working

[lime topaz]

Yes, it's "either or".

[signal sluice]

Hello, is there any chance i can get i contact with a support staff? I've had this corrupted save problem like 20 times so far, and normaly the official instructions have worked to fic the problem, but not this time. I've spent 6 hours trying to get access to my character.

[humble horizon]

Hey guys, the game is giving me and my boyfriend a fatal crash error. It has forcefully crashed my computer twice now. Is this happening to anyone else? (We are not within the same internet, hes in a different state, yet we have experienced the same thing)

[lime topaz]

If the save as well as backups are corrupted there's no saving it.

Did you disable Steam Cloud to prevent it being the source of the file corruption ?

[lime topaz]

During gameplay or on boot or ? 👀

[signal sluice]

I have saved ALL the save files so far and now im just trying them out one by one and see witch one works.

As of right now i have disabled cloud sync.

[granite abyss]

so every time i join our groups dedi server it crashes the server and gives this in the error log

[humble horizon]

During game play

It either disconnects me from the game, or crashes my entire computer. It disconnected me 10+ times, and then crashed my entire computer 2 times. It crashed my boyfriend's computer once and then wouldn't boot up again after he turned his computer back on. I don't have this issue with any other game and all of my drivers are updated, as are his.

We've been playing for about 10 hours over the course of 3 days.

[gloomy delta]

Hello can u help me i have a lot freezes in game, i always have to CTRL+ALD+DELETE and kill process to restart game.

[hardy lava]

I completed the quest that was supposed to give me Truffles but I didn't get it... is there any way I can get it now? 🙁

[gray bluff]

whats that

[hardy lava]

A legendary item that you can use to summon a boar pet

[gray bluff]

how on earth an dplease how did you begin it

[pure gate]

certain cannons are pushing themselves without crew. gives a weird feeling. can you adjust crews to a reasonable lvl?

[hardy lava]

just google bro, i'm here for tech support... lots of guides available

[lusty steeple]

I've had a terrible time, I was playing with friend. He was off for a few days and I was going to build base a bit whilst he was gone. So I took his save files and put them in mine so he can then join my save when he returns. Now the issue is whenever we try to connect to one another our games crash.

Help me. I downloaded 3 of his folders, one in account, the other in world and the other in player.

I try to delete them and sync cloud puts them back in the folder.

I disable sync cloud, after I reenable and it downloads them back.

What do I do? we cannot connect to each other

Tech support of all questions above ^^^^

help

[lime topaz]

Create a thread in #1493364524705775657 and provide crashlogs there.
The devs will look into those or provide direct support.

[thick marsh]

beefier hw, / move host

[thick marsh]

You only need the data in worlds/ for game server state. remove the extra folders in account with his userid, might work?

[lusty steeple]

Tried this, cloud sync just keeps putting them back there

[thick marsh]

disable cloud sync, delete files from staem

[lusty steeple]

I did

then quit game and syncd new files but then I turned on cloud sync and then bam, files are back

[thick marsh]

well dont have cloud sync on?

[lusty steeple]

Guess I have to try

[cerulean heart]

anyone else encountering an odd bug where building pieces no longer snap in place? suddenly your snapping is slightly rotated and unable to align with previously placed pieces?

[brazen copper]

found a weird bug where the shanties are super quiet on my Brig, but when i switch back to my Ketch, they are normal, and switching back to the Brig makes them quiet again 💀

[kind harness]

Weird because i can play Solo or Host myself, but can't connect at all

[coarse swift]

Uhhh....all part of the agreement you signed when playing an EARLY ACCESS game....

[proven prism]

relax bro the game is amazeballs i was just saying

[coarse swift]

well, judging by your comment, you are the one who needed to relax..

[proven prism]

are u well it was just a silly goofy comment get a grip

[livid tinsel]

anyone else having a problem with their DS where it crashes whenever someone joins? we have been playing on the server for a while, we are both level 9, but it just broke one day

[cyan pewter]

So I am having the same problem that @pearl shoal was having and I'm wondering if there were any solutions found.

Dedicated Server Via SteamCMD in Windows

I'm trying to setup direct connect on my server. When I start my server with just the invite code, it runs just fine and I've had 6 people connected at the same time.
If I change the settings Direct Connect to True and manually enter port 7777 for it, all of a sudden the server won't start.
It gets to the part where it shows the R5LogWater but not the part past that. If I leave direct connect off and remove the port, the server starts fine and runs well.
I'm wanting to change it to direct connect using my dyndns address to reduce ping times.
As far as I can tell, all ports are properly forwarded

[vapid imp]

my game crash while trying to join Nitrado server, anyone having the same problem? any solution to that?

[storm lily]

does anybody know if i can clone my character and world by just copy pasteing the files a second time? i dont wanna start again and my friends are not always there to play ^^

[livid pagoda]

Characters aren't tied to the server so you don't need to worry about copying your character. You can look at the pinned message to see how to transfer a world.

[storm lily]

Its not transfered from a server, i host our coop sessions so its technically my save thats why i ask :3

[livid pagoda]

So you're wanting to duplicate the save so you don't progress the world without your friends?

[storm lily]

yes exactly ^^ Character and world so i can play alone with our current progress and continue with them when they have time :3

[livid pagoda]

So just a theory but if you clone the world file and just change one of the characters of the folder name, maybe that will work?

[storm lily]

It shows up but it wouldn't load up sadly

[wraith kettle]

Copy/paste the full game server directory ?
I mean it's only 2-3gb

[chilly sonnet]

Is there any available work around for the cloud save issue on a steam deck? I won't be home at my desktop for a few hours so I won't know if it even works for me there

[wise gate]

hey so i have messed up me and my friends have a world on nitrado i tried downloading while the server was still up and now i have stopped the server and both the downloaded version and nitrado version is corrupt i think
nitrado server wont start
i go into main screen when i try to load it in singleplayer

[wraith kettle]

You may have to restore a backup (the server do backups)

[wise gate]

aight ill try that

[wise gate]

these right

[summer gust]

Quick question: did the devs say when the massive SSD writing issue (50gb per hour or more) will be fixed? i really wanna play the game but i wont waste the health of my hardware/ssd....seems like the game saves every damn second you do something in the game.

[wraith kettle]

Yep

[wise gate]

dang

4 hours since last backup

[wraith kettle]

oh damn im not the only one................... 30mbps.... That COST A LOT

[wise gate]

ive spent the last 4 hours building a castle :/

[summer gust]

its an insane usage of the ssd...lol

[wraith kettle]

@summer gust yeah i have no idea what it does, especially it's not reading but writing lol

[summer gust]

Yeah that is the strange part...someone said that it spams save files on your ssd

is it possible to "ping" the devs to work on that? Its kinda frying SSDs lol

[wraith kettle]

im already disapointed, was expecting a fix already. For the cpu when serv empty + this + ...

[gloomy delta]

i have beast pc, but a have lot crashes :/

[wraith kettle]

A client with a corrupted save shouldnt make a server crash for example, that is :S

[grim depot]

whats the optimal amount of ram for server ? 9 gigs seem to lag alooot when under 10 ppl

[sharp linden]

After hours of headaches I finally got proton to run inside pterodactyl 🥺

[wise gate]

can you help out?

it still wont

[summer violet]

Hello, I'm still stuck on the server loading screen; only the single-player mode launches. Do you have a solution?

[manic mulch]

i dont see this happen when i play what else is going on in your os ? 🙂

[summer gust]

Its a common problem i think. A friend of mine has the same issue and in steam there is a huge thread about it. But it seems to be only since the last patch (changing back up save files) 🙂

Without the game, the usage is at 0-1%. With the game, it starts spiking to 55% ssd usage..just need to watch it for some time and keep playing the game. eventually it will start. 🙁

[manic mulch]

i dont see a bug report thred about it nither do you have a link to the steam one?

i have played hours and not seen anything like that

[summer gust]

Sorry, dont know how to send a steam forum link, but here is a screenshot:

It should be on the first page 🙂

[manic mulch]

how much system memory do you have

[summer gust]

32 gb of ram

i guess around 25 gb of ram are free after windows

if you mean my ssd space, i should have 1,5tb left. The PC Is kinda new :/

[manic mulch]

no system memory also i posted thing in that thred leting pl know they shuold post in the bug thred here in discord

[wraith kettle]

not really :S You may be facing also a local save corruption case.
Try to reach the server with a brand new character to confirm that the server have an issue or if it's on client side

[wise gate]

i got an older backup and i loading in singleplayer gonna try on server now

[wraith kettle]

I did the maths. If I host 3 servers, my almost brand new nvme will be dead in less than 6 months

(based on manufacturer specs)

[subtle thistle]

high volume nvme are what is needed iof your going to do a server

[wraith kettle]

Or just fix the serv XD

[manic mulch]

this is not the case for server it stays in memory untell shutdown

[wraith kettle]

no it keep creating/editing/removing files in the world folder

that database system is terrible

[manic mulch]

backing up a save file /thats tiny to begin with is not an issue really

[wraith kettle]

30 mbps

[manic mulch]

what do you think happens when you watch a youtube video ?

it downloads gbs and deletes it ... every single video

[wraith kettle]

omg im tired of thoses people arguing and knowing nothing
30MBPS. It's Like 50 Rust Instances !!!!!!!!!

bro telling me "yeahh 30mbps is fine its like youtube".

I FF15

bye

[manic mulch]

no im telling you its doing the same thing you just dont like that i am pointing it out

files are constantly writen and deleted from ssd no matter what program

[summer gust]

Sure but the numbers are way higher than any other game or survial out there right now. That is the problem we have right now.

[manic mulch]

i get that

[summer gust]

People are already mentioning that the game is shortening the ssd lifespans, that should be optimized i guess? 🙂

[manic mulch]

the other thing is the ones with dramless ssds shuold worry

[queen fern]

has anyone ran into the issue of buying from a provisioner crashes the server (personal or friends)

[lime topaz]

no it's not frying ssds, can people simply stop this sensationalist nonsense ?

It's a literal non-issue blown out of proportions.

[raw jungle]

Anyone had any issues with Bisect-hosted servers? I can authenticate and I attempt to load into the server, but it kicks us out to the main menu. Help!

[manic mulch]

thats thats what i am pointing out

[hearty folio]

I'm getting a lag/stutter when coming out of inventories is that normal? how do I fix it

[lime topaz]

Do you have DLSS FG enabled ?

[hearty folio]

yes

[karmic tree]

is there any news about the "unexpected error" when joining other players? any info from developers? soo frustrating i can't play with friends

[lime topaz]

Disable it and try to replicate the issue.

[shadow tide]

does anybody else cant connect to a Local host server?

[hearty folio]

that fixed it thanks, is it a bug?

[shadow tide]

i have an forever loading screen

[karmic tree]

in my situation, when i try to host it just go back to main menu without any message, when i try to join it gives me the "unexpected error" message

[lime topaz]

Partially, DLSS FG is purposefully not running during a fullscreen UI so it's turning on and off again.

[hearty folio]

that makes sense thanks

[manic mulch]

dos it take you back to main menu?

[shadow tide]

nope

just this screen

[manic mulch]

hmm

[lavish wolf]

why are some servers saying NA again?

Yesterday it was working fine and today it doesnt work anymore

[manic mulch]

enable direct connection on the server and try directly with your internal ip of it

[shadow tide]

so my friend and i have to be in the same LAN?

[karmic tree]

this is what i got

[placid garden]

same

[manic mulch]

no they wuold just need the port you opened on the router and wanip (also the port like 7777)

and pw if you made one

[shadow tide]

strange

[earnest lintel]

anyone got the linux wine setup running? i'm trying to get it up on my vps, but it won't start the server

[shadow tide]

i cant even join my own local server

[manic mulch]

did you click on direct ip at the top ? and put it the "local ip adress of the host machine?"

[wise gate]

didnt work

[manic mulch]

do you use pterodactyl or ?

[wise gate]

and now its stuck at reinstalling

[shadow tide]

yes

[primal furnace]

Anyone know where the crash reports goes if your game randomly crashes? I have several times today crashed randomly without any warning or option to see the reason. It has been on the sea or in the swamp biome. Playing on a dedicated server

[shadow tide]

but then i will be kicked out to main menu

[crimson fractal]

Me

[lime topaz]

Game client crash logs are in %LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\Crashes\UECC..\

Game client logs are in %LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\Logs

And if it's not logged at all there, it'll be in Windows Event Viewer.

[manic mulch]

hmm switch directconnection back to false then im not sure why you are geting what you are geting

[wise gate]

found out its nitrado thats down

[earnest lintel]

simply followed the instructions on an ubuntu distro

[manic mulch]

okay which one lol 🙂

[earnest lintel]

which distro or which instructions? 😄

[manic mulch]

yes

[earnest lintel]

plain ubuntu 24.04 and the playwindrose.com instructions with wine

[wraith kettle]

wine?

[earnest lintel]

under the dedicated server guide page from playwindrose.com they have a section called:
Experimental: Windrose Linux Dedicated Server Guide (by williamwolfen)

that's the one i've followed

[wraith kettle]

Use wine 11 and not 8

Its not going to solve your case but prevent you further issues

wine11 wasnt main in my debian 12

hum... So it doesnt start... You must have logs!

[earnest lintel]

wine --version
wine-9.0 (Ubuntu 9.0~repack-4build3)

might be able to upgrade. won't fix the server not starting though i guess 😄

[wraith kettle]

yeah will not solve starting but will solve server randomly crashing when people join

do that later

/R5/Saved/Logs : check what you got there

[earnest lintel]

actually there are almost no logs.
but first of all, which is the correct executable? windroseserver.exe or winroseserver-win64-shipping.exe?

because running windroseserver.exe did not provide any output for me.
the other one [...]-shipping.exe at least went until world generation but froze there for ~40 minutes. killed it then

[wraith kettle]

ahaha. WHat make you think it's world generation 😄 ?

the cpu usage 😄 ????

[earnest lintel]

cpu usage was exploding and the log said "UR5Preloader::Load Start preloading GenlandiaMulty"

[wraith kettle]

😄

[earnest lintel]

had to find the log again 😄

[wraith kettle]

Well my friend, welcome in the terrible Server Mess Festival

It is not generating world

It's a bug 😄 2 CPU threads will fry at 100% usage until a player join

[earnest lintel]

that sounds so stupid 😂

[wraith kettle]

And THEN, once a player join : you'll see memory usage increasing : its loading the game for real

[manic mulch]

this is no longer the case it says at load - even with joined players

[wraith kettle]

and once loaded, cpu go to 20%

[wraith kettle]

It is lol
no update got released since 20th

[earnest lintel]

i'll try to restore my system to that point and will try joining. did not think that joining would be even possible

[manic mulch]

its really not when was the last time looked? the bug yes... ( the %going down no)

[earnest lintel]

by the way, is that just a linux issue or is that considered "standard"?

[wraith kettle]

i dont understand you, im sorry

[wraith kettle]

occur on windows too

[jaunty nacelle]

hold on guys. can someone resummerize this "randomly crashing when ppl join the server" issue? that exactly what we are facing right now

[wraith kettle]

that is a server with more than one player connected (or 0)

[manic mulch]

im currently in it right now with my freind

[wraith kettle]

If you got wine 8 on linux. Just use wine 11

[wraith kettle]

so you got a huge map or a slow cpu

[jaunty nacelle]

we are on wine 9 currently

[wraith kettle]

@manic mulch

[manic mulch]

cpu is amd 7950x . am5

[wraith kettle]

try 11

[jaunty nacelle]

thanks a lot! 👍 #

[blazing lotus]

Hi, I cann't join or host any servers? I'm trying to join a friends sever but theyre red and says unexpected error has occured. Can anyone please advise?

[wraith kettle]

nobody say it... Every people promoting Dockers builds on Github who all fixed it, but nobody just share that tips lol

[earnest lintel]

thanks for the help Granadilla, i'll try to get it running with the infos you've provided

[obtuse drift]

is there a way to save the passwords when login into a dedicated server. its annoying to have to put it in everytime

[wraith kettle]

SOoo to resume : YOu were fine with the WindroseServer-Win64-Shipping.exe
Just join the game. Wait 1-2 min and you should be in

[earnest lintel]

use ssh keys

[manic mulch]

not yet maybe in next patch (if you mean in the game client)

[obtuse drift]

TY!

[faint bough]

Anyone else who cant join up with a friend? and if so, how did you fix it?

Has anyone managed to get direct IP working? guessing theres something I need to update in ServerDescription.json to make it work?

[sudden bloom]

Hey there. I know there’s a separate channel for this but seems. It seems Nitrado has stopped responding to people that are dealing with bad lag and disconnects, rubber banding. They were so good at first. When only 3 of us are on the server the ocean battles are unplayable

[edgy hornet]

So.. all of a sudden I cant join my friends server that i was just playing on today.

ive already tried validating my files and the server was just restarted. .. also any fix for the "Fatal error"?

[vital hare]

Is DLSS Frame Gen not working for anyone else? It was working up until today, but it is straight up just not working anymore. FSR is working, but I am getting massive input delay with it

[livid pagoda]

Yeah there's a Direct Connection toggle from false to true in the json and you want to set the port from there.

[edgy hornet]

this is what is in my event log when the fatal errors happen:

The description for Event ID 153 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

\Device\Video3
Error occurred on GPUID: 900

The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table

[hushed trellis]

question i did the captainschest troubleshooting and everything in my isp is working but p2p which is blocked. is that one important and causes me to not be able to connect to coop? the other 7 of 8 works

[edgy hornet]

i have been FIGHTING this bloody issue for months.. and NO one seems to hav ea concrete solution

[thin frost]

Im having an issue where all my quests has dissapeared from my journal but I can still see them on the map. But if I open journal it says not available. Any advice?

Its the same if I make a new char as well

[manic mulch]

heh its TDR error i supose you tryed disableing windows mpo ? and updated drivers

[thin frost]

Ive reinstalled the game and verified files but still no change

[jagged urchin]

Is there any way to fix/refresh a hosted dedicated server? People who join it can't see Quest Markers - sometimes not even their own Player Markers. I've tried restarting the server and using several backups, no dice. I also can't see my own Quest Markers

[hidden hemlock]

Heya! Haven't had any issues on my own server but there may be something wrong with yours. I would suggest opening up a ticket so that our staff can take a look and get you sailing the high seas. 😄

[uncut coral]

If someone is playing with a partner on the same internet connection and is having problems joining the same server, either the game crashes completely or they are thrown back to the menu, they are either playing with the same partner or the partner is having trouble joining the same server.

[zinc cradle]

Hi everyone, quick question is there a way to fix somehow a solo game saves? I'm stuck on a loading loop and after a long time, there is only an "Exit" button.

I tried to remove save games, from AppData/Local/R5/Saved and it works but I don't really like loosing everything to start over again and again

[edgy hornet]

a what error and what?

[manic mulch]

it means the driver reset becuse the GPU stoped responding

[edgy hornet]

ah.. and i have tried updatign drivers many times, ive tried reverting to a specific one .. still happens with any unreal engine 5+ game x)

[manic mulch]

what gpu is it ?

[edgy hornet]

3060

and ive tried th whole renaming/replacing the nvlddmkm.sys files but it alays tells me i dont have permission despite giving myself and every possible "user" thing full control..

[manic mulch]

it cuold be over heating or have some sort of error in hardware of the gpu its self

[edgy hornet]

its done it even after my computer is freshly blown out of dust

[rose basin]

multiplaye is not woring for me and my friend

[manic mulch]

sure dust can cuse over heat - but so can dryed thermal pads and paste

[edgy hornet]

i am havin gno others issue rekate dto overheating

[rose basin]

we cant host a game direct ip just loads and returns to home screen

[manic mulch]

what im saying the gpu its self "cuold be over heating" when you play UE5 games.

since you tryed all the software things it make me belive its a hardware problem.

[edgy hornet]

well i havent been able to try replacing the nvlddmkm.sys file one because despite being the admin on my computer it tells me i dont have permission

it says "you require permission from Users to mage changes to this file"

[lethal wagon]

hey i am having issues wqith my server can someone help me out please it crashed

[maiden cargo]

Ya still cant create my own game offline/host

[subtle thistle]

hi, I’ve set everything up, no filter

[subtle thistle]

you can grab hdinfo64 and have it log the sensors to see what you are running during game play and then upload the sensors and your specs adn i can have a look

do it all the time for helldivers to sort out driver and psu faults and timeouts lol

[fierce zephyr]

my game froze i have been playing since the release, and now i cant get to the splash screen at all

just stuck on a loading screen

[subtle thistle]

do you see the unreal logo?

[fierce zephyr]

yes, for a second while starting up

but never goes to my character screen

just seems stuck on loading

i didnt think i got that screen till i tried to connect to a server

[subtle thistle]

you prob have to manifest files

[fierce zephyr]

verified, rebooted, uninstalled, reinstalled

nothing works

[subtle thistle]

i have this on the TS on the git repo one sec

https://github.com/1r0nch3f/Windrose-Troubleshooting/blob/main/docs/errors/save-corruption-rocksdb.md

the steam cloud sync messed it up if you play on one or more machines

[fierce zephyr]

dont want to loose my character for sure, i'm 135 hours in

[subtle thistle]

yeah i hear ya it also tells ya how to backup your save as well

[fierce zephyr]

i dont play on more than one machine, but when my game froze, i did have to ctr-alt-del to get out of game

[subtle thistle]

if your hardware is iffy then it could cause more issues as it is early access so not fully optomized lol

[fierce zephyr]

finally loaded, took about 30min, and got this

[subtle thistle]

what hardware are you using

[fierce zephyr]

not my hardware, thinking what you said first cloud sync problem

[subtle thistle]

oh i know it is lol i turned it off and have not had issues since launch lol

[fierce zephyr]

well, i only have one manifest file

[subtle thistle]

well that is good

[long sand]

Game runs fine but the sound is hella desynced and can be disorienting, is there anything I can do to fix it?

[near arch]

game crashed, memory message and whole pc restarted, was weird.

i have 5950x ryzen 9, 3080TI, and 32 gigs of ram

and an AIO cooler on the cpu

and 11 fans in a roomy case, updated nvidia driver yesterday, but also played yesterday and had no crash.

i only played 20 minutes, and crash, seems weird. whereas i played 2-4 hours yesterday, and before driver update i played 6-8 hours no breaks.

could just be nvidia shipping a crappy driver

their driver gave me BSODS onetime back in 2020 and for 4 hours i troubleshooted and thought my graphic card was dying. then i researched the driver and found out it was their software.

[charred scroll]

If it works, don't update it

[near arch]

the question is, did the game save 😛 or do i need to beat the boss again

[charred scroll]

The game is saving so much people are freaking out over their ssd's breaking

[near arch]

makes too many save files?

yeah the game saved during a crash, wild. im standing in the exact spot

[charred scroll]

More like it's saving everytime you take a step, I dunno it was difficult following along with everyone just throwing insults and whatever

[near arch]

every breath you take, every move you make... every step you take, i'll be saving for you.

[hazy glade]

It seems the game is saving base on movement checkpoints, they really need to change it to be based on:

Begin cave,
End cave,
Mission completed,
Begin Teleporting,
Enter ship,
15m timer,
Game Exit.

And that's it.

[near arch]

does it matter if it saves too much, as long as they only allow a certain amount of files in the save folder? so cap it at 20 files, and keep saves at checkpoints different from saves at every step or whatever.

so you have 1 save file that updates every 1 minute, while the checkpoint one only updates at checkpoints, and the game exit one only updates at game exit. and then you also keep save files from previous day. that's 6 files so far.

[hazy glade]

More likely if the horizon or your travel distance increases, that’s why when you’re in a ship it saves more since you're going faster.

[charred scroll]

It seems the longer you play and the further into the game you go the more it saves and it becomes a laggy mess

[near arch]

well i mean as long as it wont add to lag, or add to huge save folder sizes

i am not sure i notice any lag yet, though maybe my crash was related to save game

[charred scroll]

Probably depends alot on your pc, could be save game crash. Atleast it didn't corrupt the save 😬

[hazy glade]

PC shouldn’t run that hard, heat wise too.

[near arch]

it was very weird because i was in my house one second, next second, i see a black screen, with windrose title on it, and grey text on bottom saying memory loader/buffer issue, and it was literally explaining it's closing the game. but then my computer restarted on it's own.

[plain void]

I joined here because of this. i got the game for a few friends and some of them have this same error

[near arch]

yeah i did not expect computer to restart. i glanced at my computer, and i saw liquid temp was 46c

which means my processor was probably around 55-60c

and i saw the error code on my motherboard changed to 6e or something

but it might just cycle codes when its restarting

typically the mother board always says 9E

Error code 6E on a motherboard typically indicates a problem with the CPU or memory detection. To troubleshoot, check for any bent pins on the CPU, ensure the CPU is properly seated, and verify that the memory modules are correctly installed.

[charred scroll]

Computers are weird... Alot of people with top of the line stuff are crashing, and I'm here with an absolute garbage frankenstein pc and I've never had it crash. 😄

[main hill]

I’ve got a question: When are they gonna separate the people with pirated copies from the ones who actually bought digital copies?

[subtle thistle]

yes change over to studio driver its more stable

[subtle thistle]

check your bios update for the board and update it

[subtle thistle]

EVGA 3090ti still the GOAT!!!

[twilit panther]

Hello, I'd like to inquire about the game. Will it be available on PlayStation? And will it support Arabic to make gameplay easier?

[shrewd pond]

My friend has come online today and cant join the server I am hosting, according to them, under connection services everything is stated to be not available... Is the one.one.one the only solution to this right now? I'm not familiar with how it works.

[long sand]

Any thoughts

[flint crag]

What would you guys say is the best server provider with the least lag in Europe?

[west tundra]

Hello! I have a dedicated server up and every single one of my friends has been able to join except for one. No fix seems to help !!

[split acorn]

o7 small question about auto-save option what was implement and save sistem what game use ... is any option were to set game make save evry x minute like set to be done on 15 min ?

[manic mulch]

so is yours set to "invite code?" or use direct connection - my testing finds - if you use invite code - cpu% gos down when someone enters - but if you use Direct Connection "cpu% donst change"

[wraith kettle]

Good find. I confirm I stayed on invite code.

[manic mulch]

alrighty cool thanks

[wanton totem]

gportal. Nitrado and several other hosts are having issues (from my own testing) with rubberbanding when you're on ships, aswell as 4-6 hours after booting up your server, it starts diminishing in performance. (Lag, delay, rubberbanding in fights etc.)

I have not yet experienced this on G-portal.

[edgy ember]

Friends, how do I fix an infinite connection to a friend's server?

[potent scroll]

It seems there is no real solution; I think half of the posts are about that very same problem.

[pseudo pendant]

I have seen a bunch of descriptions on how to move the server over from a user to a server but I am having an issue.

I copy over the alphanumeric folder in it's entirety to my server and add it to the ../0.10.0/Worlds folder, I delete the other world that was in there, I ensure that the ServerDescription.json is updated with the matching WorldIslandId and I start the server.

A new world is created and the ServerDescription.json is overwritten with this new world ID.

If I reboot the server that new world continually persists. It's only when I try to inject my world that I am moving over that it doesn't work. I even tried using the new WorldIslandId to name the folder that I am moving over and tried updating the WorldDecription,json to match as well, thinking there were some other links somewhere that weren't working.... but that didn't work. I made sure the ownership for the files and folders are the same and made sure all users have full read write and execute permissions on the folder and all its contents....

Any ideas?

[edgy ember]

it's sad

[mossy socket]

anyone elses server host just quit working and wont load up the server

[gritty nacelle]

You with a provider or self host?

[coarse pike]

how do I download sst files from nitrado website? I want to download the files

[potent scroll]

If you mean that it stays on the infinite loading screen, this is happening to many

[gritty nacelle]

Hm i dont see anything from with what you did, Is the server offline when you are doing this?

[velvet cargo]

my friend just got the game, wecurrently have a self host server of 4 people (now 5 with this new friend) but he's unable to join. He loads into the game, we see the notif that he joins but then it sends him back to the main menu with no error code. How can we fix this?

[wicked citrus]

Good evening, I have an issue with this quest. In the French version, it says "pièces de bois", but I can't figure out what that refers to. I’ve tried using regular wood and hardwood, but nothing works—I can’t complete the quest. Does anyone know why, or what “pièces de bois” corresponds to?

I have these items for my quest, but it’s not working.

[gritty nacelle]

Consider making a bug report.

[wicked citrus]

ok thx

[potent scroll]

Apparently there is no way, if you check half of the support threads they have the same problem, I'm afraid we just have to wait for a fix

[true garden]

so im on the first mission, when you gotta place down a bonfire workbench n tent but even though i have plant fiber and wood i dont have the tent

anyone know why?

[iron ridge]

You have the quest to put one down but do not have it unlocked? Did you place the Bonfire yet? Do each one in order you are told.

THis is meant to be a tutorial and so it is important to run it in that order.

Sure in time that will improve.

[charred scroll]

I believe it's timber, made from hardwood

[iron ridge]

Are you running a Dedicated Server that is always on or trying to host through the game? Have you checked in #│announcements about the update that came earlier this week with some fixes?

[wicked citrus]

I have all the items in my inventory, both hardwood and regular wood, but it’s not working.

[wicked citrus]

look my last pictur of my stuff

[iron ridge]

Relog, shut the game day entirely and start it back up. Could be just hung.

[wicked citrus]

ok i will try

[charred scroll]

Take the hardwood to a workbench and you can turn it into timber, It looks like a support beam

[wicked citrus]

ok thx

[mellow thicket]

can i use mods on a hosted nitrado server? and if i do, do i use the R5 directory on the modpage or the R5 thats uploaded?

[iron ridge]

Best to ask that in #│modding-support

Keep in mind that mods right now will very likely break your game. Read the top thread in #1491867519395299508 and read #1491867249298903102

[mellow thicket]

my bad, didnt see that channel lol. forgot to put it on the roles

[charred scroll]

It's not recommended to use mods at this stage of the game, it can corrupt your saves. Just fyi

[iron ridge]

Then just follow the directions the modder supplied.

[iron ridge]

All good, always happy to help but I am staying away from mods because it is just too early.

[wicked citrus]

Thank you very much, that was exactly it. ❤️ you are the best

[velvet cargo]

Yeah we had a friend who had the issue but it resolved after a restart and post update from a few days ago.

We host our own server, our friend who hosts is currently AFK but left his game open so we could continue playing. Just our new friend is able to join the server, gets to the loading screen, but then he gets sent back to main menu without any error codes or anything.

[iron ridge]

Okay so that is not a dedicated server. That could be one issue. Also the game can do up to 8 but 4 is recommended by devs. Finally this could be an issue with the host hardware, friend that can not connect can they join any other servers? Perhaps have them join any server not locked as a test. THis sorts out if it is an issue on their end or the host. Have them test Singleplayer too again to determine where the issue is.

A lot of people have been having issues outlined in #1493364524705775657 I have not followed that but I know the devs have been working really hard to get it all cleared up.

@velvet cargo https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1495363806396944526

[pseudo pendant]

Yes

[true garden]

yeah so basically it says bonfire, workbench then tent. i put them down in order already, but even after having hte materials for tent it wont show up in my crafting page

[gritty nacelle]

Is it with a server provider? they may have a overide someplace

[iron ridge]

Relog, remove mods, verify game files. Did not have that issue so not sure how to solve it other than that.

[pseudo pendant]

No. I am running a docker container on unraid that is using wine.

[gritty nacelle]

I dont know then

[modern sluice]

I'm having issues with fullscreen, I have an ultrawide monitor and my GPU is AMD, it's forced to go UHD or 4k, I can't lower it to 720p

[empty vortex]

I believe I’ve seen this happen as one possibility if the world upload is incomplete(or broken I guess), i.e if the world doesn’t have its own world description file included it will just generate a new world, and the logs will mention that one isn’t included too.

(Re reading the original message it seems you alluded to already checking that files were the same, at least permissions) whoops.

Atleast I saw it once, I think that was the order of what happened but didn’t test personally. Still something to double-check and confirm.

[pseudo pendant]

Well thanks for trying lol

[pseudo pendant]

Hmm ok that's something. I'll take a look.

[lament wedge]

can someone help me out, i been stuck loading my game and i restarted my pc 2 time and still cant load in

[iron ridge]

Have you ever been able to load in?
Verify game files, remove mods, post specs here.

[lament wedge]

yea i already put 10 hour into the game and it started to happen 20min ago

[iron ridge]

SP or MP?

[lament wedge]

i already verify game files and so far havent play the game with mod

[lament wedge]

SP

[iron ridge]

I have not had any issue so mostly asking questions so that information is there for others that maybe can help.

Make a new character DO NOT delete this one. Start a new world see if it works as a TEST. At least then you will know if it is the game or the save.

[lament wedge]

the main menu still havent show up yet

[near arch]

okay updated bios, seems the last time i did it was in 2022 (and they have a 2025 version). and i switched to studio driver.

[iron ridge]

Ah well that does not sound good. Not sure if that would be the game or your PC honestly. Do you have 2 screens by chance? Could pull up Task Manager on the spare screen see if your PC Jis maxed

[plain void]

What do we do if we are stuck on the main page but it only lets me quit. (like cant load or make a new person.)
If someone knows that would be great!

[iron ridge]

Guys I would look over #1493348541177794601 and #1493364524705775657 To me sounds like hardware issues like you lack RAM or something. Best I can say is I never had an issue but know some others have.

[plain void]

128g ram so idk

ill go look around there tho, thanks.

[iron ridge]

Sorry could not do more. Hopefully you at least will learn why it is hanging.

[lament wedge]

Yep same problem

[quartz prairie]

having the same issue after joining a dedicated server then trying to go back to my solo game

[ruby palm]

My friend is now having this issue as well.

He was just playing, hopped off to go get dinner. Came back and is now stuck in an infinite loading screen before the main menu

[iron ridge]

Guys I would look over ⁠🐞│game-bug-report and ⁠🚧│game-support To me sounds like hardware issues like you lack RAM or something. Best I can say is I never had an issue but know some others have.

#🚧│tech-support message

Wish I could help more but again my game runs great so I am not sure how to help. Clearly there is a small number with issues but who knows what causes it.

[ruby palm]

It's definitely not a RAM issue, he already has 70+ hours in game. First time this is happening and it seems extremely recent its popping up

[iron ridge]

AGain there is nothing I can do I am only a player like you. Offered up where to go to solve this, up to you if you want to put in the effort. Fix could already be there but you will not know sitting here. Wish you good luck.

[ruby palm]

I understand that, and have already checked it as well. As I said, it is seemingly a new issue and is effecting a lot of other people as well. No need to get defensive dog.

[slate wigeon]

i havent really read to much into this in this discord, but has anyone been having an issue where your system will lock up and crash from a driver issue when playing co-op?

[iron ridge]

Not defensive just tired of being pinged on this when I offered all I can and said as much more than once. Clearly you want to argue rather than fix your issue. OVer a million people own the game so unless over 100k have the issue it is not a large issue. So go figure it out and LEAVE ME ALONE. Tried to be nice tried to drop hints now just telling you outright leave me alone.

[iron ridge]

This has helped over at ICarus, Switch to Studio Drivers from Game Ready IF you have a Nvidia Card. May help may not.

[slate wigeon]

yea ill try this, screw it ive tried everything else at this point so might as well lol

[slate wigeon]

thanks for the suggestion bud appreciate it

[quartz prairie]

actually my issue is different. I joined a dedicated server for like 30 seconds, then tried to go back to my singleplayer game. Now I cant log into that world on that character. My other character can, whom hasnt been on a dedicated server.

[iron ridge]

Otherwise only other thing can suggest is review the #1493348541177794601 and #1493364524705775657 there could be more info there.

[spice robin]

My friends and I (4 man group) just switched from Nitrado to GPortal and have absolutely 0 lag

Nitrado's lag was unbearable

[dawn breach]

It wqs off steam not a dedicated server

[spice robin]

whoops didn't mean to send that as a reply Super, midclicked

[dawn breach]

Its fine tho i got the problem solved

[spice robin]

was just posting general sorry

[dawn breach]

Lmao its all good

[pseudo pendant]

I got it! I was previously sending the unzipped folder over the network to my server which I think caused some weird permissions issues. Unzipping the folder in the destination folder solved it!

[manic mulch]

that do happen heheh

[smoky widget]

update: tried to login today, got in smooth as if nothing happened yesterday

[dreamy bone]

Hello! Does windrose have an open api?

[amber robin]

Server Specs:
Ryzen 1800x 8Cores 3.6GHz
RAM 32GB 2133Mhz
SSD Samsung 980
Nothing else running except Windrose Server

Regular crashes. R5 Log shows "Slow task" events and then the server crashes.
Windows Event Logs show "Ran Out Of Memory" errors for R5 but there's still 21GB of RAM overhead when this happens.... so there's PLENTY of RAM left to eat up.
Anyone else seeing this?
I increased my pagefile from 4GB to 16GB rebooted the OS and tried again. However, I'm still getting the same results.

Anyone have any ideas?

[chrome walrus]

our dedicated server we're on with worse specs is running flawlessly with 4 people on it. We tried a server host and it was terrrrrible stuttering. They tried to blame the game. Is not the game.

[jagged urchin]

RIP, subscribed to a Nitrado server, uploaded the save and the issue persists. The World Save itself is bugged

[dreamy bone]

check the settings file for the world. You might have the 'Story" mode on

[jagged urchin]

Just verifying, is the underlined what you're referring to?

[dreamy bone]

yeah thats right, It still might be worth checking the file tho

check the value for it there.

[tranquil smelt]

hey just curious im hosting a gportal server for myself and freinds like an idiot i put on direct ip connect and i swapped to invite code and now the game just crshes when trying to connect is this a known issues or?

[dreamy bone]

if you switch to direct IP, the invite code doesnt work. you need to switch it to invite code instead

you cant have the direct IP connection and try to connect with invite code, that just wont work

[dreamy bone]

damn bro, not sure what it could be

[jagged urchin]

Yeah I'm pretty sure the World's just borked somehow.
Hosted the server myself, switched to Nitrado, same issue on both ends.
So it isn't my machine.

[dreamy bone]

actually, did you check the serverfile ? the one that has to match up with that file?

[jagged urchin]

Not sure what you're referring to.

[dreamy bone]

serverdescription.json

nvm, just checked it and it doesnt include data for that

[rare igloo]

Why can i not use both of them? It works well fine.

[dreamy bone]

IDK the technical reason, but all servers i've hosted on, dont allow the use of both, only one or the other.

[jagged urchin]

I think the World Save is just busted. Unfortunate. It's still technically playable without Quest Markers, but I'd be lying if I said I wanted to play the game that way.

[dreamy bone]

for sure

[rare igloo]

Humps. Ok. Eill try it once again later.
And even i think we must wait on an update to play with more then 4 people right?

[dreamy bone]

no idea lol

[prisma aurora]

When is nvidia giving us a better driver

Recent driver literally stole like 10% of my fps and didn’t even fix dlss bugs

[jagged urchin]

Perhaps it would help narrow it down in saying it doesn't apply to every character. I just made a new character and it properly displayed Quest Markers.

One other friend reported having this problem. My other friends have yet to tell me.

So maybe it's corruption in just specific character files for that World?

I wonder if that helps narrow it down

[somber lichen]

Anyone else having issues with their serveres, mine just keeps stopping and then I start it and then get in game and then it kicks me out again and I have to do it all over again

Was there a way to fix a multiplayer server with isp blocking? I cant make my isp unblock this game so was there anyway to work around it?

[dawn breach]

1.1.1.1 works there is a mention of it in the #1495821783293624350

Its how i gor multiplayer working

[hushed trellis]

Thank youu🫶 ill check that out

[dawn breach]

Not a problem glad to put my ADHD hyperficastions to helping others enjoy the game lol

[hushed trellis]

Haha, im not a tech savy person so this isp blocking and all this is making my head hurt to try fix and work around on my own so glad there is someone who wanna help 😌

[dawn breach]

When it comes to isp things i know very basic lol however ive always worked with tech and doing dumb things lol

@hushed trellis if you dont mind me asking because i wanna think on something whos your provider and is it satlite internet? (If not comfortable answering thats fine im just theroising and thinking)

[hushed trellis]

Im in sweden and got tele2, did the piratechest test or what it was called that checked your system for problems and it said my p2p was unreachable

[dawn breach]

Are they similar to a cell network internet?

[hushed trellis]

Yeah

[dawn breach]

Hmmm intresting

[hushed trellis]

My friend with another swedish provider but also cell network got the same problem 😔

[dawn breach]

Ya i had the same issue with a cell network aswell but my friend could load in fine

[twin pier]

it seems the only solution for now is to delete your save files 🙁 Iam having two friends that cant play on their second machine with the same issue

[hushed trellis]

@dawn breach hello again friend 🫶 is all you do when you have the one.one.one.one downloaded is to activate it and host your server as normal? or do you need to do something else

[brave forum]

I have a short question. My CPU is loading only 30% and my GPU only gets to like 70% all the time. So is there a fix to make my GPU go up to 100% or like 99?

[dawn breach]

Nope just install,run,enable warp and should be good to go

Sorry working same time lol

[topaz python]

and what is the problem ?
My GPU is running 40% at 1440p resolution and maybe at max also 70%.
So it isn't holding back my system 😉

[hushed trellis]

No its okay haha, just wanted to make sure, thanks again! ❤️

[brave forum]

The Problem is that the game doesnt use the Full potential of my GPU. The Framerate keeps stuck on 70-80

[topaz python]

And you did check your RAM and SSD ?
A lot of players has issues with Memory leak and recently we found out that their is a very bad unoptimised Read/write activity of 80% on your SSD/HDD.
The can all cost some performance aswel.

[dawn breach]

Glad to help how i can hope it works for you

Mmm scammers my favorite

Is there no place to share game ideas and improvements?

[subtle thistle]

uh why

[subtle thistle]

i would think #1493364524705775657

Hi guys. I have a problem with playing on a remote server. I created a new server on gportal. Connected to it. Played for about 2 minutes, completing first 2 fights, after which I got kicked out to the main menu. Subsequent attempts to connect to the same server fail and either crash the game or kick me back to the main menu. I tried restarting the server/game etc. If I create a new character, I am able to again, play the first 2 fight, after which the game kicks me out

what can I do?

[brave forum]

Yeah thats right

[subtle thistle]

sounds like save/session corruption on the server and or server memory as if your at base tier of gportal are pretty weak

[foggy dagger]

this is the server log:

I don't think it's a gportal issue looking at your log

[upbeat sage]

i suddenly can't host games anymore, any advicable fixes? the main servers are constantly in N/A and hosting via IP directly boots me back to main menu

The game crashed. anyone else with this Problem?

[subtle thistle]

welcome to networking 101 lol there are steps there that walk you through how to fix it and what to check

[subtle thistle]

Seems the issue in your log. The server can't open an internal proxy connection on port 44915 - it gets a null address (0.0.0.0) which means the port either isn't available or g-portal is blocking it.
Go into your g-portal server settings and check the port configuration. You need TCP port 44915 added to your allowed ports list. It may also be worth checking if g-portal has a specific section for "additional ports" separate from the main game port.
After adding it, restart the server and try again. If g-portal doesn't let you add custom ports on your current plan tier, that's a plan limitation and you'd need to contact their support.

[subtle thistle]

i need more data lol

[remote solar]

i get an black screen 😛

[subtle thistle]

oh prob nividia modle not loading so see if its loaded
lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia-smi

[subtle thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/tired-bored-ernest-ernest-p-worrell-reading-gif-23758850

oh man a 5070ti and the new driver i would roll that back and try it as the new driver is been giving issues even on windows....thanks Jensen

[remote solar]

thatś what i do before i write here. but the rollback doesnt work if a new kernel version included. Cachy said no homie, go home and die 😄

[subtle thistle]

i would also check proton as well
~/.steam/steam/logs/stderr.txt or even set as launch option

PROTON_LOG=1 %command%

[remote solar]

i set this

PROTON_VKD3D_HEAP=1 %command%

[subtle thistle]

you get that from chatgpt? that not even a standar option lol

pull the log and post it
PROTON_LOG=1 %command%

so launch with that and lanuch the game and lets see what the issue is

and if it black screens great then we have data to go off of

the log should be in your home directory and be with todays date

i mean the steamid windrose...man im gonna grab more coffee lol

[junior jetty]

did anyone get back to you on this? i'm also seeing this 7x in the last 2 hours. i'd like to get to the bottom of it to stop the server crashing

[frozen rivet]

Hello captain! Can you check my server? I and my friends cant play coop 🙁 Invite code:1b5c0e1e. thx

[wraith kettle]

corrupted save file.
The player could join with a fresh new character

[junior jetty]

oh, lovely. did you start again or did the Devs assist with this or?

[rose basin]

i cant host online games it dosent start my friend has the same internet company and has the same issue

[subtle thistle]

you are being blocked

[rose basin]

can you help me?

[subtle thistle]

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1495848830510436354

[wraith kettle]

I didn't found a solution. I believe it may be about that Steam Cloud issue.
I have this issue only with an imported world, using mods

[subtle thistle]

yeah the steam cloud sync is messing things up for sure i would turn it off as there is some mismatch on data and its borking save files from the 20+ people i have seen

had it happen to me and turned it off 3 days after launch and have not had an issue since

[rose basin]

can i get extra help i want someone to simplify things for me i cant understand what i need to do i looked at many youtubevideos

[subtle thistle]

networking is not a simple thing to do and HUGE learning curve for most that are not tech savy

[subtle thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-sunglasses-book-reading-gif-15790482

[rose basin]

im very bad at pc things and the game is very fun i want to play it with freinds we spent two days we cant figure it out

[remote solar]

https://giphy.com/gifs/waiting-loud-polish-QZyBvNVaMbIZ9yadec

[rose basin]

should i call the internet company and tell them to stop blocking it?

[subtle thistle]

yeah driver issue lol, its getting lost on the vkd3d layer

[rose basin]

will there be a fix in the next updates?

[subtle thistle]

on that git repositry there is a powerhsell script go run it, it will check all your ports that need to be open to run the game

[subtle thistle]

ok so lets add this launch option
VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv %command%
that disables the upload heap and if that does not work cause you know team green lol
VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv,no_advanced_cbuffer_descriptors %command%
and if its still crashing try and roll back the previous kernal
sudo grub-reboot "Advanced options for CachyOS>CachyOS GNU/Linux, with linux-cachyos 7.0.0-1-cachyos"
sudo reboot
and all else fails check for newer nvidia-open
sudo pacman -Ss nvidia-open | grep cachyos

if its still a pain then i would roll back the driver to like 570.xx

[junior jetty]

alright, ty. i'm not using mods but hadn't seen any info about the steam sync thing. would've expected something in announcements

getting them to check this over now

thanks for the help

[remote solar]

https://giphy.com/gifs/Living-Puppets-living-puppets-praktikant-menty-4tcPxmxIIBpye9tLuM

[subtle thistle]

most of the time its not the game is internet providers blocking ports and or your router

[rose basin]

do you have a video that can i follow to fix it?

[subtle thistle]

did you run the powershell script?

[rose basin]

nope

its the one you sent me right but i dont understand it im asking help form a friend and i will see if it works thank you so much

[subtle thistle]

are you trying invite code or direct ip?

[remote solar]

Nope, nothing works.

[rose basin]

both dont work direct ip dosent start the game and invite code dosent work

[subtle thistle]

if rolling back to a 570,xx driver didnt work then we are at the end

[remote solar]

ha i found it 😉

[arctic jackal]

SYnology DS220+ how to run host server ? So i can play with friends ? Donwloaded (Docker file) but after configuring its just reboots on the loop

[subtle thistle]

you have an ARM cpu trying to run windrose that uses x86-x64 windows binary

and that is not powerful enough to do it

[arctic jackal]

i have no idea what i have 🙂 I know it has TB and 10gb ram 😛

[rose flint]

This HEAP command, Is this for crashing on startup or random crashing while playing?

[subtle thistle]

you need to run full emulation and that will not do it, get an old windows pc lol

[subtle thistle]

👀

[arctic jackal]

So its not good for DS220+ to run servers ... i May be able to get one PC running. But on Linux. Is it Possible ?

[subtle thistle]

yes that ARM cpu in the NAS is your hold up different architecture

[rose flint]

I'm having an issue with random crashes on Bazzite, this is the only game thats doing it. Sometimes its fine for hours on end and others will just crash after 30m

[arctic jackal]

Had same shite on Windows 🙂 Apereantly my MB died. Now rebuild PC and Running Linux Mint

[subtle thistle]

yeah the new patch messed with some Linux distros and then of course Nvidia did its thing as well

[arctic jackal]

@subtle thistle Any guidance hot to do server on linux PC ?

[subtle thistle]

tons of youtube vidoes on that for server setup go research

[rose flint]

This explains why it was pretty stable the first couple of days I had it and then decided it was going to randomly crash, but I have a AMD card, not Nvidia

[subtle thistle]

well its not the card its the Linux, the team green just adds to it

[rose flint]

I think its crashing my entire graphics drivers because one of the crashes had EVERYTHING close. The last crash had the sound continue to play

[dapper tendon]

Whats hosting is good to run for my friends and i

[iron ridge]

G-Portal, Host Havoc are 2 that I have personally used in the past and were happy with. Nitrado is popular but sadly too popular, so you get more issues less personal service. I have a feeling they may be biggest with Windrose and Ark. Keep in mind these companies can sometimes try to over sell hardware, having more servers on it than it can handle. So small communities get the negative effects. The companies are of course in it for the money and keeping costs down.

[subtle thistle]

your own if you have an old pc to do it or if yours is newer hardware

[subtle thistle]

it is sad really as what i have the game server running on is something i bought at a yard sale for $100 lol

[dapper tendon]

I get gportal then looks easy

[iron ridge]

I have often suggested that to many many people. Given that CPU and RAM are the only real considerations.

[iron ridge]

I can say that for Atlas they had a super simple UI to work with. I knew a Customer Support Tech there and she allowed me access to the hardware they gave her to use.

[subtle thistle]

yeah and if its just you and like 6 friends you can pretty much run it on a potato

[iron ridge]

Lock I know at one point I was overwhemed by the idea of running a server without a host. Then someone allowed me to explore their hardware they had through OVH. Now I am the expert in my group and we bought hardware that is run at my friends house since he has the 1GB Fiber.

[iron ridge]

Keep in mind that could change however upgrading is easier than buying new IF unlike me you can do that. I have bear Paws sadly, no one believes me. US KB I can put pinkie on Shift and Thumb reaches Enter. ROFL

The paws come in handy at times but not all that often. Usually just when someone wants to get stupid with me. ROFL. Opening jars, working inside a PC, all very hard.
Should have said I have Great Dane paws not Bear. HEHE HEHEHE HE HE HE HE

[somber lichen]

anyone havinh problems with Survivor Servers today?

[subtle thistle]

that are live as far as i know they did have a note for windrose though

[somber lichen]

ok i just got home from work and tried to strat it on my home pc and its the same issue

[somber lichen]

where

[subtle thistle]

i seen something about a hotfix in a brief

youcan check their X and see

[somber lichen]

well i do know that windrose plus had an update 2 in 1 day odd maybe thats why

[subtle thistle]

i mean they did mess with the server side of things and borked linux distros as well so might be

[somber lichen]

maybe, i hope they fix it soon, im level 8 and i was in the middle of getting more stuff from ruins to upgrade my gear and weapons ugh

I just got a reply to my ticket. They are looking into the crashing on the servers for Survival Server.

[dapper tendon]

havoc good? gportal billing error

[iron ridge]

That was the last company I used before going to OVH and getting dedicated hardware to run any game server I wanted. That was 5yrs ago however between a few communities like Icarus, Dayz, I have still heard good things about them.

[dapper tendon]

SO HAVOC good to go

10 slots windrose

[worthy parrot]

Any suggestion on port 3478?I've made rules to allow it but its still saying its not working

[iron ridge]

Try a different port that may be too close to one already used?

[blazing cape]

Other than just killing the process - is there a preferred safe way to shut down the Windrose dedicated (steamcmd) server?

[iron ridge]

Not sure but look in #1298583059402063926 for the server guide should tell you. Usually killing the process can interfere with saving.

[subtle thistle]

its your isp blocking it then

[slender tendon]

• Has anyone migrated from Nitrado to self-hosted Docker?
• Are there any known issues with RocksDB and Wine when migrating saves? My server keeps crashing on startup when using the nitrado save files, using a fresh world works :/

[subtle thistle]

the safe option is a rcon quit command

[subtle thistle]

so there are a few......questionable ones lol

[worthy parrot]

I disabled all security and added rules for it on there as well.
I just switched it over to direct ip and that seems to work.
I’ll let you know if anything changes. I appreciate the help.

[subtle thistle]

well that is good you direct ip works

[blazing cape]

Just make a new world then... The save from nitrado is prob corrupt.

[subtle thistle]

well rocks writes platform specifics on the file, more times than not when you "modify" the files it breaks anyways only on an extreme case like if you like lvl 12+ or so i would even try it with a backup

[blazing cape]

Yea fair

[quaint vector]

hello ho can help me whith my game cannot join my frend server or any online or host server

[blazing cape]

I was able to transfer a local save to dedicated (self host) without issues. But thats definately a different set of circumstances than that of nitrados "peak gaming servers 🙄 "

ok bummer. the nitrado world still works though. so shouldn't be corrupt. Either way i'll figure smth out. thanks for replying

[blazing cape]

My little mini pc - 35w TDP ryzen 2400G is working 1000% better than the POS nitrado server that i originally ordered.

[subtle thistle]

the base tier is prob running a 4790k or something

[subtle thistle]

yeah you can change files and that to work but again chance of breaking is very likely

[grizzled moat]

Hey, I'm playing the game on Linux CachyOS and I get a fatal error as soon as I start it. Any ideas? I've already downgraded my graphics driver.

All the launch commands via Steam don't help either.

[subtle thistle]

i have 25 people on mine no issues and that is a N150

[blazing cape]

Yea

Aside from the server really loving to be high CPU usage when empty - it works pretty decent.

I was having some studdering issues but that could be cause i never restarted the instance for like a week loll

Server Specs:
Ryzen 1800x 8Cores 3.6GHz
RAM 32GB 2133Mhz
SSD Samsung 980
Nothing else running except Windrose Server

Regular crashes. R5 Log shows "Slow task" events and then the server crashes.
Windows Event Logs show "Ran Out Of Memory" errors for R5 but there's still 21GB of RAM overhead when this happens.... so there's PLENTY of RAM left to eat up.
Anyone else seeing this?
I increased my pagefile from 4GB to 16GB rebooted the OS and tried again. However, I'm still getting the same results.

Anyone have any ideas?

[grizzled moat]

I´ve already tried everything that´s been suggested . Nothing helps 🙁

[arctic jackal]

Download the Server: Run SteamCMD to download the Windrose dedicated server files to a dedicated folder.** How i can do that ? **

Linux Mint

[zinc lava]

Does anyone know if Nitrado use Windrows+ I am ready it can cause stuttering/lagging on other server platforms

[ebon quail]

Has the Frigate nuking FPS etc been reported anywhere?

[drifting sleet]

Hello! I can't connect to my friend's server it keeps rerouting to main menu

[ebon quail]

It's basically unplayable near the current end-game as your Frigate plus all enemy ships are basically Frigates so a 1v1 destroys your FPS, a 1v3 takes it to like 30-40 from the usual 100.

[neon quiver]

So getting the infinite loading screen bug, I have tried

• turning off steam save
• deleting R5 folder in appdata/local
• updating graphics drivers
• reinstalling
• restarting computer
• running as admin
  The R5 Log just says 'No description for loading screen reason LoadingScreen.Reason.DataKeeper.WaitingForIslandAndLocalAccountId'

[marble patio]

Im getting directX12 Error

[iron ridge]

They are already aware of this that is why the reommend nomore than 4 per server. Read through #│announcements

[ebon quail]

I am playing alone.

[iron ridge]

Oh no 30FPS yeah that is so so unplayable they should pay you for such a thing. ROFL Geez....

[ebon quail]

Who took a crap in your cereal?

When you're sailing and you drop from 100 to 30-35-38 as soon as another Frigate class enemy ship enters your FOV - it is quite unplayable to enjoy the large scale battles to it's full extent.

[iron ridge]

No one that was sarcasim based on your silly it is unplayable at 30FPS comment. People with lower quality PC are happy to get 30 and that is completely playable. Stop staring at the fps this is not PVP

[ebon quail]

You're not worth the effort lol

[iron ridge]

Okay well you know how opinions go, they are like other things we all have them you got mine.
Yet you still keep coming kid. You have a good day my game runs perfect likely on an inferior PC no less. ROFL.

Love the block button prefer to just not see anything from those sort of people but.

[ebon quail]

What a weird guy you are, attacking me for claiming a 60% FPS drop is normal..

[drifting sleet]

any troubleshoot for can't connect to friend's server?

[iron ridge]

Seems to be a common thing right now. Try looking through #1493364524705775657 for some tips and tricks. I thin the first thread is by a Dev with some info.

[open mulch]

HELP!! I really enjoyed this game the first day I played it. Had it running through steam for about 7 hours with no issues. Second day I got to play, game crashes about every 10-20 minutes, no changes to the settings. I’m already running everything on low settings and I have a GeForce RTX 4060 with 32 GB RAM, i9-12900K CPU so I feel like I should have no issues but this isn’t my only game I have problems with. I’m very confused and need help please🙏

[abstract grove]

hmm.. random dc from dedicated server, but server showed no downtime..

[prisma aurora]

Seems he’s upset you get more performance even after a 60% drop than him with no drop

[ebon quail]

I just wanted to ask for feedback, so weird 😭

[icy hare]

help please

when i start the game its stuck on the first loading screen without getting me to the title screen

i waited for too long but nothing changed

[fast falcon]

anyone having issues not connecting? been stuck in loading for the last few mins, on a rented server.

[fast falcon]

same question at the same time hah

[icy hare]

my friend is playing it normally but sadly i cant join him

[manic quarry]

I'm in a similar state, have been all morning. Was playing last night with no issues, launching the game this AM I get to my character, host the game, pick the server, it sits there for a few min, then throws

checked the files in steam, rebooted, nothing seems to help

[subtle thistle]

if your connecting to a server the server may be down as A LOT are having issues

[manic quarry]

ahh, ok. I've tried all 3 of the ones I can see. What are "rented" servers I see folks talking about?

[subtle thistle]

its for self hosting

you and your friends want to play together and you dont want to host the game

[fast falcon]

to keep it up 24/7 so you dont have to wait on certain person to log into the world

[subtle thistle]

if that server doesnt go down

[manic quarry]

ahh, ok, that's not me, I'm hosting for me and my son

so the issue is the main servers are having issues, that makes sense. is there a place I can see that status to not bother you kind folks?

[fast falcon]

and here we are

[prisma aurora]

I resolved my connection issues with my friend’s self-hosted server by simply changing dns setting to use google’s dns

[subtle thistle]

meh we are players just like y'all there is very little about they main "main" servers they have been bombarded with an influx and i know they working on it, you can go through the info i have been gathering on issues and possible solutions https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1495848830510436354

[subtle thistle]

that is one of them for sure lol

lots of time its the ISP that block the p2p traffic

[timid grove]

Question why does the game nat punch to a dedicated server that I host and play from , first time I ever see this behavior in a game

[alpine terrace]

Is there a way to make the HUD / UI smaller? It feels like the itens hud is too big, it messes up with my livestream overlay

[subtle thistle]

like gone or smaller?

you can use / or -

[night ether]

i restarted my server now it says "the client and server versions do not match."

any idea? afaik there wasnt any updates

[subtle thistle]

yeah it uses stun infra on 3478 where other use direct im guessing for info data gathering and its biting them in the booty because of the load

[subtle thistle]

there was a few days ago and either you or the server is not updated

[night ether]

ive been playing the last 10 hours, i restarted it a few times and then it works now

feels like a .lock file or something was broken or something

[timid grove]

Also another weird observation, a friend rented a server and I get less fps then me running a dedicated server on my gaming rig at the same time that I play XD

[buoyant oxide]

hello why does my game suddenly started freezing in the loading screen and saying : the application has hung and will now close. I verifired game cache, did all the updates for drivers and changed my in game settings 100 times, what is problemo

[subtle thistle]

there is a list brother lol

[subtle thistle]

got to love that ping baby lol

[night ether]

I have a 2nd pc with 32gb of ram and i7 8700k running a server with 10 people running really well no lag but I have 50 ping

which i cannot understand lmao

[subtle thistle]

specs?

[timid grove]

Never seen it in other games XD, they seriously need to optimize the netcode

[subtle thistle]

i mean that can be the NIC card or ISP and a few other things

[buoyant oxide]

W11, 32GB DDR5, RTX 4070, I7-14700KF, B760-PLUS WIFI

[night ether]

I had a cs2 server on same pc and I had 1 ping

[timid grove]

Instead of going to your router and back to your machine, it nat punches and goes to your isp and back, but 50 MS is crazy at worst it should be 20

[subtle thistle]

switch to stuidio driver for your gpu and roll back to the previous on so DDU the new driver

[night ether]

i feel like its cos you connect thru id instead of a ip and port

[alpine terrace]

smaller, " - " did nothing, " / " hides it for good

[buoyant oxide]

will try, thanks 🙂

[subtle thistle]

them is your options as far as i know

im old AF and blind so fine for me

[alpine terrace]

i miss an "percentage" option for the size of it T-T

Hello everyone, can you tell me why none of the servers are available?

[vital rose]

Hi all. I'm running a server locally on a private windows machine. When attempting to join the server the loading screen sits there for a few minutes then dumps me back to the main menu. This wasn't happening yesterday and I've been up to date on server and client releases at least according to steam.

Anyone seeing similar?

@hot kiln what are you seeing?

[wanton willow]

Hello everyone,
does anyone know what I need to change in my settings to remove or reduce this grainy effect in the water (see image)?
It seems to me that it must be coming from the shadows, but since I'm not an expert in graphics settings, I'm relying on your knowledge... 🙂

Thanks in advance

[fast falcon]

mine goes black, was hoping for an eta on when servers would be back to normal

[lean dew]

so i want to play my same character on another friends server, but i don't want to alter my progress on my current server. is there a way i can duplicate my character so i have what i have done so far on both servers. i tried copying files over into another folder in the save files but that didn't work game loops out.

[obtuse tundra]

any helo before i refund and smash my laptop up

[tight parcel]

hello guys, is it possible to transfer the saved data from a hosted server to a dedicated server?

[vital rose]

it looks like there's a large outage at Microsoft, I don't know if any part of the Windrose connections to servers runs through Azure, but that could definitely be the cause of the server woes right now.

[lean dew]

you can just copy the big number folder under "player Profiles" over to the same subfolder on your server. i have 2

[tight parcel]

thank you very much

[ionic path]

have they fixed joining servers yet?

[vital rose]

Doesn't look like it.

I just tried a few minutes ago.

My discord is up in arms they can't connect to our server.

[ionic path]

i imagine they will tell u to ring your isp or dl cloudflare which does not work for me

they shouldve pusshed a fix by now its been2/3 days not using a temp fix that may or may not work i wanna play with frens;(

[vital rose]

Our was working up until sometime overnight last night.

[ionic path]

mine was working fine 2days ago then just booted to main menu when loading, i hear the ocean and can even open "inventory" then just boot to menu

i thought it was mods but turns out its not tried on different isp's aswell same thing

used my mobile hotspot

same thing used cloudflare same thing removed firewall etc etc

[lean dew]

looks like corrupted file data is causing alot of issues, poor file and game save structure causing memory leaks and poor performance

[marble patio]

I wont to start playing windrose but I keep getting directX12 error even if I put -d3d12 are the lower directX11 and d3d11 i get no start with windrose

Good afternoon Tech chat! i want just wondering where to find my world ID, im about to get a nitrado server. i was chatting with Nitrado on twitch, he gave me a link for the "how to" but my steam apps folder doesnt have a "folder" for the save, just a serverinformation . json file

[lean dew]

whats crazy is i had a corrupted character file and it was crashing my server. made a new character an never happened again, one player on the server can cause it to crash.

[ionic path]

thats in the R5 folder

[glossy kraken]

so ill just need the .json file?

[ionic path]

there are windrose save file repair mods but disable cloud sync cuz it will try to sync the corrupt save

[glossy kraken]

.

[ionic path]

yes it will be in there

thats it

[glossy kraken]

I appreciate you sir!

[lean dew]

can you dm a link to me

[marble patio]

Do you get dx12 error

What about directX12 error how do I stop it from popping up

[ionic path]

could be gfx card update or a windows update maybe

[ebon quail]

What are your render scales on guys in your Graphics settings in-game? Is the slider set to 60?

[ionic path]

you tried -dx11 /-d3d11 /-dx12 launch options?

[marble patio]

Yes tried all of them

[ionic path]

do a dxdiag

on the display tab feature levels must say 12_0 12_1 or goto direct x website and dl latest

[marble patio]

Did that my system has dx12 but dx12 ultimate is deactivate

[charred scroll]

What is your graphics card?

[ionic path]

dx ultimate is only supported by modern cards

[marble patio]

The brand is adm Ryzen

[charred scroll]

Ok but the full model name please

[ionic path]

what ryzen?

is it intergrated

[lyric shadow]

its normal when i create new world and all object is clear ? i mean ? in map

[marble patio]

This my back up cpu

[ionic path]

GPU 😄

u confused me lol

[coral stirrup]

Friends cant join host server any ideas?

[charred scroll]

If you cleared them with the character you chose to join the world with then that seems normal

[lyric shadow]

yeah okey thanks

[grim zinc]

Hi Everyone! What .exe i shoud add to split tunnel into AmneziaVPN, to have windrose works without my vpn connection (i'm speaking only about co-op servers)?
I added almost every .exe i found in game location (Windrose.exe, WindroseServer.exe, WindroseServer-Win64-shipping & Windroseserver-win64-shipping), but it did not work out.
I also have steam working off tunnel and it does not help

[uneven perch]

Anyone has an idea how to fix not being able to make a coop server? Both of us are stuck on a loading screen after the tutorial, verified files, deleted our characters and remade them, tried turning off steam cloud saves but nothing seems to work. It just loads forever

[gusty nimbus]

Just me or did Windrose start hogging a lot more resources at some point in the last couple of days? Second time in 2 days now that my PC has been on the verge of crashing and I open task manager to find that Windrose is using almost 11 GB of memory

[spare imp]

So I have all the requirements to run the game but I have some very bad lag issues to the point I have to close the game and steam frequently and relaunch to keep playing the game. I have done everything I can including changing settings, readjusting virtual memory, ram, removing malware etc. you name it I've done it. How can I get the game to run more smoothly?

[marble patio]

This is what I'm getting when trying to start windrose

[gray crane]

No bsod on arc b580 here, running older drivers too. Seems like the only fix for now. GL!

[subtle thistle]

what dedicated gpu you have

if you are using that 3200G that is where your issue is

[charred scroll]

Too old and unsupported.

[marble patio]

This is my spec for my pc

[charred scroll]

Yeah your graphics card is not supported

[timid grove]

Sheesh gonna check this one later didn't know this kind of tb tools exist thx for creating those

[marble patio]

My system has the standard directX12

But it let me play other games

[charred scroll]

Yeah but the graphics card is too old, even if you could get it to run it\s not gonna run well at all

[ionic path]

does anyone know the windrose back end service port?

[spare imp]

What is that?

[marble patio]

It can not be old other wise I will not be able to play soulmask

[timid grove]

Min spec requirements is a 1080

[glossy kraken]

joker, last question (maybe) i promise. do i just upload the json file to nitrado like this:

[timid grove]

It's a ue5 game, ue5 loves VRAM , if you have less than 8 gb of VRAM u won't have a good time

[charred scroll]

That game has completely different system requirements, this game needs a more modern graphics card. Your graphics card is over 11 years old.

[ionic path]

no idea but if u open with notepad it tells u all info

[glossy kraken]

i mean,.. it definitely has my world details in the file. i was just curious if i did it correctly. My apologies for pinging you

[ionic path]

thats ok

[cyan jetty]

Anyone else experience bad performance/lag/rubber banding on Nitrado servers and had any luck migrating to any other server?

Thinking about copying my world over to G Portal or something but looking for recommendations

[lime topaz]

That Vega is funilly enough able to run UE5 Nanite :3

That GTX750 not so much.

[glossy kraken]

been watching behavingbeardly and Nitrado on twitch all morning, servers seen stable

[cyan jetty]

My nitrado server runs like 💩

[steel palm]

my game is stuck on the loading screen and wont load my character to select, i tried the fix of turining off cloud sync, deleting the file and trying again but still stuck, how do i fix anyone?

[lime topaz]

GTX 750 is a DX11 card, and Soulmask has entirely different minimum requirements as well as it runs on older UE4.

[vital lion]

my windrose keeps force closing when i try load into the server

[floral atlas]

By the way is anyone on a 5000 series experiencing texture flickering?

Or odd strobing light patterns with global illumination above low?

[quaint marsh]

Another problem came up: I wanted to change a map I created from a private network to a public one. Is that possible, or only by modifying the game/map files?

[rugged shore]

Hi Guys,

My friend used to be able to connect to my server, but for some reason he can’t anymore. We’ve tried a lot of different things—having him load a solo game first, both with and without a password—but nothing seems to work.

What can i do? 🙂

[vital rose]

There seems to be an outage of some sort.

[rugged shore]

But it used to work. Now he can’t join my server, and I can’t even join his new server either.
This seemed to be working like 4-5 days ago.
We would still have abit problems, but just restarting or making the game with no password/password would do the work.

[vital lion]

having the same issue with my own server rn

[rugged shore]

Maan so annoying. Like mine has been on for 4-5 days. Me and my friend trying to connect like 30 min everyday, but now we are soon to be done 🙁 Was a great game though 🙁

[vital lion]

i have just verified my files on steam to see if it fixes it

[zinc reef]

hi everyone im looking for support, we started me and my duo a server and now i want to move that server to my machine because i will start playing solo how can i do this?

where i can find the world files

[steel palm]

this game is broken, game still wont load due to a corrupted save file on steam...

how has this major issue not been fixed

[rugged shore]

Starting to get fck annoying.. 🙁
@vital lion Did it work for you ?

[vital lion]

nope infinite loading rn

[rugged shore]

Ye okay GG 😄

[vital lion]

they will fix it dw

[rugged shore]

Ye a fix in 2027 i hope

[sudden granite]

hey i requested to join server 1 but was informed after i sent the request that i need to be a member for 5 days is there a way i can cancel and resend to join a different server \

[scenic pelican]

i hope they fix it soon i cant play anything but solo and i wanna play with a group of friends 🙁

[pulsar ferry]

Hey fellas. Was hosting my server via the in-game host option for a while. Moved onto the Nitrado hosting. I started up the server, joined for good measure so all files were created, shut it down, uploaded my old world via cyberduck, updated the WorldIslandId and whenever I join the server, it seems like the map's wiped

[steel palm]

I cant even play my solo game anymore without going back to a save from yeserday, not wasting my time with that

[grim frost]

hello

i did everything as recommend to play the game but still i get infint loading screen

[ionic path]

means u have a corrupt save turn off steam cloud sync as it is trying to use that save

[steel palm]

how is this a solution? I play on 2 different PCs, was working fine until today

i have no way of turining off cloud saves

[vital lion]

its a steam setting

[steel palm]

im saying i will not turn it off since i have no local data that is recent

im not going back 3 days of gametime

[vital lion]

that never worked

[vital rose]

Here's what I did and mine is working again:

1. turn off cloud sync in steam
2. start the game
3. connect to the server
4. If connection was successful, turn on cloud sync while still in game
5. Quit to menu
6. Quit Game
7. Relauch Game
8. Connect to server
   At this point everything was working fine for me again.

[steel palm]

im assuming i have to go to the PC i last played on to make this work, not going to be possible on my second pc since the files here are too old

[ionic path]

sent u a dm

[wispy trout]

I have had a few issues on a hosted server, where being on a ship lags me very stuttery. Its hard to move around, and Its hard ot engage in combat while boarding.

Anyone here know anything about this issue?

[cyan jetty]

I got a G portal server and I can connect through IP but

1. I don't see an invite code in the g portal dash anywhere
2. The invite code in my ServerDescription just leads to "Server not found"

Any ideas?

[subtle thistle]

if its yours its the hardware if your renting its the ping AND the ahrdware lol

[subtle thistle]

Look at the server console output in g-portal's panel for lines like "Server registered" or an invite code being printed on startup
Restart the server and grab the invite code from the fresh console output immediately after it starts, before trying to use it
Make sure port 3478 (STUN/TURN) is open on the server side, not just 7777, since the Connection Services path needs it to finalize registration
If port 3478 is blocked on g-portal's end, the server will partially register but clients will get "Server not found" when trying to join via code

[cyan jetty]

Ah you know what, Direct IP Connection was enabled in the 'Basic Settings' by default

Turning that off enabled invite code

hey guys when i try entering my friends game it just stays on a loading screen and then kicks me off to the main menu, does anyone know how to fix this? we tried connecting with invites and through ip

[timber hamlet]

Hi, I have purchased a dedicated server and have tried to transfer files from an “internal” save to the dedicated server. I followed the instructions as described, but when I try to start the game, I get “server not found,” and a new folder is created on Nitrado. Anyone that have any solution?

[formal sluice]

Dedicated Server -- any plans on adding a broadcast feature?

[glass jacinth]

Game stuck on Loading Screen and i did the steam Cloud thing not worked reinstalled not work

[timber hamlet]

No, no plan doing that

[formal sluice]

Would be nice to be able to warn players before pulling down the server

[glass jacinth]

be nice to get help with the Game stuck on Loading Screen

[bold cairn]

i mean is there any solution anyway?

[glass jacinth]

@bold cairn no clue mate

i done all the so called fixs an none have worked was all good this morning now

[bold cairn]

yup same nothing worked for me

does it get fixed after awhile or no

[glass jacinth]

just gonna get refund then shame was fun game

[lethal quartz]

Y’all have the load screen and then menu deal going on? I try to join my nitrado server and it’ll force a restart for the server and host doesn’t work either

[glass jacinth]

@lethal quartz i can`t even get to the menu

[lethal quartz]

Dang, it was working fine yesterday for me

[glass jacinth]

same for me this morning bud

[molten geode]

Did you have any network issues with your pterodactyl setup for this game? I think that's where my issue is. Actual, I didn't even test it with direct connect and only tried the invite code for myself and my friends tried it as well with the same issue; stuck on loading screen and then exits to main menu.

[glass jacinth]

@lethal quartz 112hrs an just stop working on me

[lethal quartz]

So much for some after work gaming

I’ll keep digging tho and see if I can’t find something

[bold cairn]

if u find something let me know plz

[glass jacinth]

@lethal quartz gl bud

[subtle thistle]

@bold cairn @lethal quartz @glass jacinth have a troubleshooting made for this if you download the power shell script and run the captain signal it will tell ya all your ports that are and not open and the full script checks EVERYTHING
its all documented and there is also a TS guide as well where you can run commands if oyu dont want to download the script

[cerulean brook]

Stuck at the loading screen, not loading. Was loading earlier today.

[subtle thistle]

yeah kind of sorted out the other day it might be a wine issue, try and run proton on the host if you can

[manic mulch]

Needs to be set to direct connect to work also is it set up in proxmox vm or ?

[uneven perch]

I found one I think

[plain escarp]

ia there away to entity wipe?

[slim dagger]

Hey guys. Did anyone come up with a fix for being kicked back to the main menu when trying to join a friend

[raven sage]

Why am I not able to join my friend using my already played and leveled character, but I can join him with a fresh character aswell as my other friend being able to join him?

[raven sage]

I have the same, it works with a fresh character

[uneven perch]

For me running a VPN and running this command helped:
netsh interface ipv6 set prefixpolicy ::ffff:0:0/96 60 3

restart after the command ofc

[slim dagger]

what VPN do you use?

[uneven perch]

nordvpn

came free with revolut premium XD

[slim dagger]

You think the command will help without vpn?

fresh character didn't work

[uneven perch]

uhh i didnt try

but w vpn we are both in now

[olive wind]

Has anyone had their computer blackscreen while playing?

[viscid nest]

Hi Team; We have a dedicated server running on AMP. And we're getting server crashes and restarts when people join. We thought it was only when other people were sailing but now it's just randomly when people join.

[subtle thistle]

dying during startup when it tries to connect to the Windrose backend. The gRPC layer is getting a truncated response mid-handshake and hard-crashing instead of failing gracefully.
That's why there's no invite code and "Server not found" -- the server never finishes starting up. Direct IP works because it doesn't go through that same backend registration path.
Try these on AMP:
Make sure outbound port 443 is allowed (not just inbound ports)
Check if AMP's host is doing any deep packet inspection that could be cutting off TLS connections to *.windrose.support
This is also arguably a dev-side bug since gRPC shouldn't hard-crash on a truncated write, so worth sending that log to the Windrose devs.

[tranquil crag]

i treid to start a new game in solo ...when i did the things i had in my inventory went away when i click on them ...and everting i tried to pick up it said no space in inventory when it was empty.. if i try to pick somthing off the ground the game cashes

[novel whale]

can anyone help? Im trying to migrate my save data onto the nitro server, following the pinned comment. But the step "Stop your server, upload your world folder (e.g: 04A4F36F41134855B3AD6FFA08FD11A1) to /R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/[GameVersion]/Worlds/ on your server"

Does not specify where to uplaod. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

hello guys my friend tries to join my dedicated server but instead of connected to the servers it says n/a for him anyone has a solution

Anyone know why my Discovery and Adventure tabs are blank ? I am assuming its a mod but before i test the 4 im using i wanted to see if it was just a game bug

[sharp jetty]

Hello. I created a dedicated server but I am having issues logging into it. Anyone know much about Nitrado servers?

[spice shale]

My game opens fine but when I try to load into my island (hosting), nothing will load. It will either just close the game altogether or kick me back tot he main menu. Already restarted PC and verified integrity, any additional ideas?

[hollow kindle]

Any thoughts on this matter?

[frozen hedge]

I have about 15 hours on the game and have had no such issue sounds like that guy might have installed a shady mod idk though

[hollow kindle]

ayt, thanks for answering

[elfin python]

Are devs aware of the issue with server crash once new user join the server?

[fair cove]

I'm having issues crashing and i've been in this dedicated server for about a week now

No issues at the start

[unkempt umbra]

I joined a random dedicated server (modded i have a feeling) from someone in Tortuga Chat to help him out with something, but it seems to have somehow corrupted my character (cloud-save).

• Going back to Solo / Offline = Infinite Loading
• Hosting Server = Crash back to Main Menu
• Join my Nitrado = It actually makes the server reboot (so kick back to main menu eventually)

I can only join that dedicated server now with my main character, is there a way to fix this?

Edit:

• Reinstall / Verify (no difference)
• Disable Cloud -> Delete R5 -> New Char -> Exit + Reload Cloud = same issue
• Creating a new Character and i can connect everywhere directly.

Seems like something in the cloud-save went 💀 for my main char (120+hrs) ..

[iron ridge]

A lot of people are having issues with Steam Cloud. In the past it has been nothing but trouble for me so it is been disabled across all games. I have no use for it anyhow as I play on this PC only. Once again seems Steam may have done it again. ROFL

[shrewd swallow]

Steam Cloud always has issues with games that save frequently and with a large save folder, which Windrose hits both. It is really just best to turn it off and handle save migration manually if that is really needed.

[unkempt umbra]

Doesn't really answer the question, i have over 120+ hrs into this character. 10+ frigates etc; would be a serious drag to have to restart.

[amber ridge]

Anyone have the issue where the game starts and after about 10 seconds the monitors are no longer recognized? It just started after this last patch.. originally it worked after a reboot or two by holding down the power button till the PC goes off but now it doesn't fix it. I have done the following..

1. Reinstalled all driver updates (everything was up to date prior to this happening)

2. changed the resolution of the game to match that of my desktop.

3. ran the game in windowed mode, Borderless windowed, and fullscreen mode.

None of these have fixed it. anyone know a fix for this issue?

[shrewd swallow]

Tried to use any of the saves from the _Backups folder?

Should see it in:
C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles
-# %LocalAppData%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles

[solid flare]

So... connected to my dedicated server..... got through the first tutorial mission, and boom kicked me out, now can't get back in. Server is still up and active.

[amber ridge]

@solid flare you just starting out? You're welcome to play with us if u want

[livid pagoda]

tutorial mission is client side, not on the server so you likely never connected to the server in the first place

There's some issues with hosting on the local network using the invite code. You could try setting your server to direct connect and see if you can access it by IP.

[lethal quartz]

anyone have any luck?

[brave isle]

Why is my TAA making my game blur and with a low res image look? I already use native resolution, antialiasing on epic and DLSS - DLAA.. what am I missing ?

[silver geyser]

I need some tech help: How do I make it so Windrose isn't using 100% of my CPU whenever I'm playing it?

[sonic urchin]

I'm having that inf loading screen glitch but I've already done the recommended solutions and have Uninstalled and reinstalled the games and it's files but I don't have any user app data showing up in the R5 folder so now game is basically unopenable and I'm pretty sure I lost a 25 hour save now

[unkempt umbra]

backups that are there, corrupted to

[random elbow]

Anybody else having the problem whenever you go into a dedicated server it loads for a while then immediately crashes?

[boreal pewter]

Is there any way to change how often resources respawn?

[lone pike]

I seem to be having a network issue/ISP problem. Can anyone help me? What do I need to do?

Just saw this up on the Nexus, might be worth a shot:

[amber ridge]

@brave isleWhat's wrong

[brave isle]

Why is my TAA making my game blur and with a low res image look? I already use native resolution, antialiasing on epic and DLSS - DLAA.. what am I missing ?

[amber ridge]

what GPU do u have?

[brave isle]

Rtx 3050

It’s the 8gb version

[amber ridge]

turn off TAA and turn on FXAA

[brave isle]

I dont have those options

[amber ridge]

try that once. or u can use the nvidia control panel to sharpen it

[brave isle]

I cant turn off taa and i dont have the fxaa option

[amber ridge]

what kind of cpu do u have?

[brave isle]

Its a Xeon 2680

I know, Xeon name scares, but it’s a good CPU I swear.. I use it for a couple years and works just fine for everything i play

[amber ridge]

do you have motion blur on?

[brave isle]

Already turned off

[amber ridge]

10-4

[brave isle]

Helped a little but i can still see the low pixels some times

[amber ridge]

are you new to windrose? has this been happening since day 1?

[brave isle]

Im playing for 2 weeks now.. and yes, it’s been happening.. i make it a little better with DLAA and moiton blur off but not 100%.. i tryied to get used to it but unfortunately makes my experience not to good everytime i note that on image

Sorry for My Bad english I’m actually Brazillian.

I could try to use NVIDIA app for better image configs but the filters on it doesnt appear for windrose

Just the RTX Dynamic Vibrance.. Maybe I should update the nvidia app?

[shrewd swallow]

C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\Config\Windows
%LocalAppData%\R5\Saved\Config\Windows

Engine.ini, add this:

[SystemSettings]
r.AntialiasingMethod=0

In the NV Control Panel, can enable FXAA via it.

[limber prairie]

anyone been getting a lot of lag spikes yesterday and increasingly today with dedi server? ive restarted it earlier and no change just wondering if just mainly increased server load

[brave isle]

Thank you friend, i’m gonna try this later

[brave isle]

I got some spikes today.. didnt have it before.
