[vivid hemlock]

whats the deal with the SSD stuff that's been floating around on the forums

[random elbow]

I cant get into the game at all with my server? I dont know what it could be ive tried restarting the server

[leaden venture]

See above

[neat folio]

Seems to be multiple discussions about it, here's what i found:

[frank sleet]

anyone else having really bad lag on Gportal servers?? Is this all hosting or just gportal

[shrewd swallow]

A lot of people are really stuck to how SSDs used to work.
They did have a short lifespan before, but modern SSDs can take a serious beating.

Pretty much any in the past decade would be more than fine.

[silver wing]

That's kinda besides the point tho. If the devs said themselves that's a "known issue", it means it IS an issue - whether it's been blown out of proportion or not.

[blissful stirrup]

Hello, I copied a player folder into my appdata folders just to check what happens and now I am in an infinite loading screen, even if I delete the character folder he gets remade from steam cloud (I suppose)

any ideas?:D

disabling cloud worked, now I have to figure out how to delete the corrupted player folder from the cloud

[ruby palm]

In the future, never do this without first having a backup of the original files

[blissful stirrup]

I mean, the problem is that the files are uploaded on cloud not my local files

it didnt corrupt my character

[ruby palm]

You might be screwed, I don't know if you can access the steam cloud.

[blissful stirrup]

I found a solution, disabled cloud, deleted the extra "players", then navigated to steam UserData/AppId and deleted the cloud wtf file there, and it's fixed ^^

re-enabled cloud too and it prompted by to use my local save file and overwrite my cloud, so all good phew

[ionic path]

just did a Trial Circle Ruins and the last chest after doing all that stuff to light the fires was nothing in the big chest 😄

[zinc canyon]

if i delete a character is ther e a way to restore it ? - i moved items from it to a chest, made another chracter on same world, but half the items were gone

[tardy shale]

Hello! I am playing with friends on a private server, and I keep crashing every 8-15 minutes. I have a hardwired connection to my internet, I verified the integrity of the save files, and I did that mod to make compatible with windows 8 (mine is windows 10) what do I do

[tranquil wharf]

what does this mean?

[lime topaz]

Depends on your CPU.

Always share screenshots of visual issues.

[low plume]

Having an issue with dedicated server. When playing it randomly crashes while mid game and doesnt pop any alerts, nothing seemingly in the logs and doesnt show anything in the console

The console closes as if the task was ended

[civic cloud]

So whats the point of renting a server if i only get 6 gigs of ram?

[amber ridge]

we're on a rented server but seem to ahve no issues with ram

[gritty nacelle]

Hosts tend to have more then 1 package, Each one may have something different.

[civic cloud]

We have 3 people on a rented server with the max ram you can get and it keeps crashing going over the alotted ram and we barely have built a sizeable base

[gritty nacelle]

What host are you with?

[civic cloud]

Nitrado

[ionic path]

this game loves to make your 50% load 4090 take lessons on how to fly to the moon

[gritty nacelle]

Thought there plan was diffrent. But alot of hosts to keep track of

[civic cloud]

The max ram that he can get is 6 gigs and if 2 people are on the server crashes

[gritty nacelle]

You can always swap to a different host. There are plenty of options

Just note to download from nitrado with sftp & binary on seen a few people destroy there world because of that.

[civic cloud]

Well its my friends and we wanted to have a server to play on because we get on at different times. So we arent familiar with the lingo of the the servers. All we've done is have mandatory restarts every day and its been working fine until we decided to build up our main base

Like right now im the only one on and hes watching the server logs and he watches the ram spike almost to 6 gigs and we're just lost atp

[gritty nacelle]

Well your friend can ask in #1495518685719433246 . But if ye end up wanting to move off. I have biased Recommendations

Ya the game will use about 5-6 with 2 players on i been playing a few days with a friend at it sits about 7ish

[bitter summit]

Guys, is it just for me windrose is consuming 100% cpu almost full time?

[gritty nacelle]

Client wise i havent noticed that. It does have a issue with cpu for servers atm.

[civic cloud]

I appreciate your help thanks for the advice 🙏

[bitter summit]

I mean it is single play lol, I haven't playing co-op

[gritty nacelle]

Ok it does seem to have been mentioned a few times.

[lyric scaffold]

Hello, I am going to get a dedicated box, with that being said, how do I transfer over the map so we do not lose progression?

[random elbow]

Im having the same issue let me know if you get an answer

[fast hull]

Why can't I join a friend? I get thrown out of the game all the time.

[tardy fractal]

I cant join a friends server, I'm stuck on the loading screen forerver. It worked fine when I join another friends server but trying to join someone else's doesnt work.

[brave isle]

It didnt need it actually the other guy totally saved my life

[brave isle]

Try to activate frame generator or Low Latency mode in the video options

My friend, I just want to say thank you so much, you solve my problem perfectly and saved my gameplay!! Just thank you!! 🙏🙏

[languid hare]

anyone have a fix as to why i cant join any server but people can join me

[velvet token]

Is anyone else finding that the server hoster's game crashes when fast traveling to Tortuga?

[thorny vigil]

This infinite loading screen bug is really annoying 😭 I fixed it one time and now it is back again and the last fix isnt working

[vital lion]

Same was fixed yesterday I just got kicked from my server and now I can’t get back in

[vital lion]

turning off steam cloud saves fixes it for me

[glass jacinth]

@vital lion i did that did not work for me

[vital lion]

i let it load for like 3-4mins then force closed the game then launched again and it worked

[glass jacinth]

@vital lion will give that a go

[sharp solar]

Can't join my dedicated server, keeps putting me back to menu. Any ideas???

[manic mulch]

are you on the same network as it ? (meaning local) within your home?

[glass jacinth]

@vital lion did not work bud thank you tho

[vital lion]

worth a try 🙁

[rapid wyvern]

so i take it this game is very memory hungry for servers anything i can do about this?

[gilded path]

@digital shuttle this channel for tech support and login support

[digital shuttle]

thanks

Hi there i cant log in into teh game

it was working fine this morining. now looks like that

[fallow aspen]

I was thinking of playing multiplayer, but it goes into an infinite loading screen.

[digital shuttle]

Im play with few friend as new still slow to log in

[opaque abyss]

My 3 friends and I are on a dedicated server. Everything is good on land but as soon as we try to sail it is laggy as heck, does not get better. Is this known? Or is there something the server admin should check?

[digital shuttle]

We only lag at base sailing seem to be fine for us.

[opaque abyss]

strange yeah on land is just fine but at sea is choppy and laggy like crazy I am just seeing frames of the boat moving

my server admin is checking settings lol

[glass jacinth]

this infinite loading screen bug need its own channel

[charred echo]

I've been running docker container of the server for last few days and its been fine, now my container is randomly restarting, i dont see anything in logs sticking out. Is this happening to others?

[errant path]

Hello hello!! It was mentioned to me that I should put this in Tech Support, so I'm noting it here as well along with my message a bit back. But there is a serious issue I've discovered.

You in fact, CAN bury treasure chests and make it look entirely natural, and I did so wit ha chest that held ALL my saved up money, consisting of around 8,500 silver coins and 7,100 gold coins. I had done so to store it and have it be a fun little safeguard for my money that I could go back to one day and collect as a reminder of the work I'd done, though I decided to move its location, went to fetch the chest, and the game had despawned it. The chest was in range of a bonfire as well. I cannot figure out any reason why it would remove the chest save for it being underground.

This is a very serious problem that I really do believe should be addressed, because in a game about piracy and treasure, I feel we should be able to bury treasure without fear of it vanishing from under our noses, and like in my case, losing out entire savings since the start of our world.

Here was the initial message I sent in #🤝│player-help, but moved to message it here as well.
I doubt anything can be done, but if there exists a way to recover my lost money, I would be eternally grateful!

[main mulch]

Hello, friends client is stuck on loading main screen in map window

[digital shuttle]

[digital shuttle]

looks like those 2 is what u have created

[manic mulch]

[glass jacinth]

be nice if some help on this infinite loading screen bug thing starting to pmo

[blazing elk]

i made the bug world to try if i can still login using other world and it works seems like the first world i created which is "haven" i cannot connect into

[manic mulch]

heh theres nothing to connect to (if its an offline world is what im geting at) the world its self is most likely buged what happens if you create a new one?

[blazing elk]

all things in the storage are gone

[digital shuttle]

your lucky to get that far i cant even load to that page

[blazing elk]

only things you got in the bag you can bring to other world

then all quests you done on previous world you cannot gain the rewards again because its marked as completed already

so all quests rewards gone if its not in your backpack

[digital shuttle]

at all i see when i load up

[blazing elk]

ohhh i think in this case im still lucky my loading still works just fine

[digital shuttle]

lucky u all my friend playing but me 🙁

[dawn breach]

@hushed trellis sorry for pinging you out of the blue was curious if the application ended up working for you (even more an appology if you mentioned if it worked and i just dont remember)

[glass jacinth]

@dawn breach what application bud

[dawn breach]

They were having issues with multiplayer so i directed them to a conversation that was had recomending 1.1.1.1 cloudfire and i was just curious if it worked for them...

[glass jacinth]

gotcha

[thick palm]

stuck at the loading screen from starting the game

[glass jacinth]

@thick palm welcome to the gang we all are bud

[dawn breach]

Usualy means a corrupted file somewhere there is a bunch of support messages on things to try

[azure zealot]

Hello, my game crashes as soon as I spawn a boat. Any idea? Thanks.

[dawn breach]

@glass jacinth sorry if i came off a bit defensive just the wording of thag out of the blue seemed like you were accusing me of being malicious

[glass jacinth]

@dawn breach not at all bud i was hoping you had the fixs

[dawn breach]

Your having errors trying to launch game?

[manic mulch]

https://giphy.com/gifs/13d4d3Cq9ocpgY

[thick palm]

is there any way to fix the corrupted file instead verfiying integrity

[dawn breach]

Unfortunatly its verifying and making sure disabling steam sync because for some reason thats been causing people issues. You could also rry deleting the R5 folder in your local appdata folder

[glass jacinth]

@dawn breach yea bud got the infinite loading screen bug i have done all the so called fixs nothing working

[dawn breach]

You could try 1.1.1.1 if you havnt already

[inland crown]

Unable to join my friends server, its start loading an then after 30 sec redirects me to the main screen or closes the game

[glass jacinth]

@dawn breach what is that bud sorry to rek ya head

[dawn breach]

Its a cloudfire free vpn just works out directing of your isp

I was able to play solo fine but infinate loading trying to host or join multiplayer and its because my router for some reason was directing the traffic weird even after manualy setting ipv4

[azure zealot]

Hello, my game crashes as soon as I spawn a boat. Any idea? Thanks.

[dawn breach]

Thats an odd one that i havnt even read yet sorry mate wish i had any ideas on that one

[glass jacinth]

@dawn breach how do i get that 1.1.1.1

[dawn breach]

#1495821783293624350

@inland crown you could try it aswell could help with it being a more multiplayer based issue

[somber lichen]

So if you dont steam cloud on, how can u save your game or will it. Do you have to do a back up every time or just when you change pc, I have a work laptop and then a home pc. I thought I lost my main charc but I find it, I mean not the way I left it but its pretty good, its better than start at 1. But I just want to make sure I dont lose it again or whatever since I disabled steam cloud. You know it makes me almost want to just get rid of my server and play offline ugh

[crimson zinc]

Is there any reported memory leaks with this game? Just started playing, for some reason the game starts at only 30 fps, but after 2 hours of gameplay, it reduces to 15 fps. i dont get this with other games so wondering if its the unreal engine or the game beta mode? How do I prevent this and increase to 60 fps?
My cpu:
Intel core i7 5.4GHz
win 11
RTX 4060 8gb
64 GB ram
solid state hdd

[dawn breach]

I get that for sure disabling steam sync just means you cant play the same charecters on 2 computers unless you manualy move them say with a ubs drive. Steam sync has been reported by devs for unknown reasons corrupting data when people switch pcs back and forth

The charecters still save localy

[dawn breach]

Im gonna be honest i have no idea ive read people reporting frame drops and you have a similar set up to me but i havnt personaly expereanced this however there could be some aspects rhat could be causing some or just poor optimization on spwcific aspects

[hushed trellis]

We got it to work!! Was meaning to tell you but forgot after a long windrose session thank you again for the help we had lots of fun 🫶

[dire fractal]

my game been stuttering, dropping FPS during combat that is almost unplayable.

[crimson zinc]

yah im doing some optimization stuff in windows/etc, so if this fixes it, really annoying....

[dawn breach]

Glad to hear it all worked qnd mutch better and easy to get lossed when playing with friends that happened to me yestarday played for 5 or 6 hours before work lol

[dire fractal]

ping me if any of it fixes for u, thanks.

[atomic plover]

Im trying to port my local save game to my newly bought server and whenever i put the files and world id in i get my items, ship and quest progress but not world progression (Like fast travel points, Builds, map discovery, etc.) any clues as to what im doing wrong here?

[lean birch]

WE setup a Dedicated Server, but we cannot connect to it, it just keeps on throwing us out back to the main menus

any advice

[covert ore]

got same probs. if u change any setting about loot/harvest or smth youre full charakter is bugged.

you also cant connect so single player after that. so you have to create a new char 😄

[manic mulch]

did you put world id in what ever hosting servce you used so it knows what folder to load?

[glossy reef]

This is a bug when using IP connect; try using the server invite code instead

[manic mulch]

direct ip and invite code dont work togher its that way on prupose

[glossy reef]

my bad, I thought that was what was happening based on "kicking us back to main menu"

[manic mulch]

i was just telling its not bug between the two is all 🙂

[wind wren]

Same problem

[atomic plover]

I have but every time i reboot the server after changing it to what i needs to be, It resets or goes to a whole different Id

[stable beacon]

anyone point me in the right direction, ive downloaded my save from nitrado and want to load it locally ive put into the right folder ect but when loading it just throws me back to my charc screen any ideas ?

[manic mulch]

what host are you useing ?

[stable beacon]

Nitrado server and wanting to bring that into local play

[atomic plover]

Bisect (reluctantly)

[lime topaz]

Share dxdiag report here.

[manic mulch]

maybe you can edit the ServerDescription.json and put the id of the world in there ?

[atomic plover]

bisect has the setup tab and Ive put the correct world id in there, And whenever i launch the server the file itself changes to a completly different Id

ive changed it manually too, and it still just changes to a different id

[manic mulch]

ahh =\

[manic mulch]

and the world is in the right folder? (named as the id?)

[atomic plover]

R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/0.10.0/Worlds

[manic mulch]

R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/0.10.0/Worlds/1F32D75DB16C41521DB6A6DB0E57ACE7

as an example

[atomic plover]

its there as you showd, i just didnt include the world id in the path

[manic mulch]

what happens if you use one the folders already there? dos it still change?

[manic mulch]

you can also try "ziping " your world then puting it on the server . if you havent then unzip there

[atomic plover]

Im honestly just going to give up and rebuild whats lost, i at the very least have all my gear and quest progression. Whats a little more time sailing the seas

[manic mulch]

https://giphy.com/gifs/pretty-water-EqtEGtIFozqIE

I am getting send straight to main menu when joining my friends hosted server.

[lusty nacelle]

guys how do i increase my the server fps on my dedicated server

[atomic plover]

I was trying to migrate my world to the server i had set up and when i do i get my items and ship. But the builds and map discovery are just gone

[subtle thistle]

better hardware and internet connection

[lusty nacelle]

i mean it runs fine, just always capping at 30fps

[subtle thistle]

i wonder if you got it corrputed, was it on windows or linux?

[atomic plover]

Windows 11

[subtle thistle]

check your settings

[lusty nacelle]

on the dedicated?

[subtle thistle]

your using a hosted server i take it

[lusty nacelle]

im using my secondary pc to host

means i go through the files myself which is kinda rough

[subtle thistle]

hardware specs?

[lusty nacelle]

with 16 ddr3, server files stored on ssd

[rose oasis]

Hey, can anyone share their saves?

Level 7 after Act I.

I'm playing with my wife; I'm on a desktop computer, and she's playing via the cloud. Her saves have already broken three times, and I've had to start over. We're making the same progress, but I can't transfer my saves. We both have the same character ID, and we can't play together anymore.

We really like the game, so please help us make this family happy.

If you know a way to transfer my saves with a different ID, I'd be grateful.

[subtle thistle]

well its usually the other way around as most odnt have nothing, i would post in #1493364524705775657 and see what they can do quite a few times its can be recovered

[lusty nacelle]

i monitor the stats every few minutes, the cpu usage doesnt seemthat bad and the srvfps ranges from 30-31 which does seems like i can really go over it, just wanting to unlock the cap

[subtle thistle]

how many people you trying to host?

[lusty nacelle]

only 3 for now

[atomic plover]

thank you for the assistance, im just going to bite the L and rebuild. I dont mind as i quite enjoy windrose

[lusty nacelle]

it works really fine, sometimes i get the first hit on my enemies which dont stun them, i could be overreacting but just really wanna see that 60 server fps

[subtle thistle]

im guessing you have a cap somewhere

check and see if there is a maxcap or targetfps in your config files

and if there is a launch argument

[lusty nacelle]

yeah for sure i will, thanks for the help

[subtle thistle]

[merry storm]

out of curiosity, i had to delete the game after finding out it might be harmful for my ssd, because i've spent way too much money on my pc, is this on the priority list of the staff to fix? the constant saving issue?

[manic mulch]

this isnt a bug on all ssd... as far as i have seen so you "might" be fine.

[subtle thistle]

correct especially if its not an actual ssd

[merry storm]

yeah my ssds health seems fine in general but i also noticed it saves WAY too frequently which isn't something that happens in the other games i play usually

[glass jacinth]

@subtle thistle who do i sent the file to from that capt chest bud

[manic mulch]

like i can play for hours on end and not see that bug at all with mine (nvme's)

[subtle thistle]

ok in the #1493364524705775657 one of the kraken devs said to make a thread the other day

[tardy tendon]

I want to put Dash on one of my thumb mouse buttons, but it instead maps it to '4' on my keyboard. Similarly, mapping it to my other side mouse button maps it to '3'. Which is slightly odd because when I tried this on first loading up the game, I swear they mapped to 1 and 2.

[manic mulch]

i think more diging is needed for an actual fix tho

[subtle thistle]

yeah that is not an ssd and that might be the problem as people throw around terms for hardware and what you call and ssd someone might call something else so its best to use models and names for things like that as it can change from year to year on hardware trust me

[manic mulch]

its still an soild state drive (just uses nvme protocal ) when older ones use (Sata protocal)

the problem i had mostly was (everyone cuold join but me -when it was set to invite code) lol on dedicated server i was hosting - but since they did direct ip fixed that issue for me lol

aside from that its been fine 🙂

[crimson zinc]

Got it to stick at 60 fps so far so good... its in the in-game graphic settings...

Here's exactly how to turn on DLSS in Windrose (it has full native DLSS support in Early Access, including DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution and Frame Generation on RTX cards).Step-by-Step to Enable DLSSLaunch Windrose and go to Settings → Graphics / Video (or Display settings).

Set Window Mode to Borderless Window or Fullscreen (Borderless is more stable with DLSS for most people).

Look for the Upscaler section (usually near the top or in Advanced/Rendering options).
Select DLSS as the Upscaler (you should see DLSS, FSR, and TSR as options).
Choose your DLSS Mode:
Quality — Best image quality (recommended starting point).
Balanced — Good mix of quality and performance.
Performance — Big FPS boost, slight quality loss.
Ultra Performance — Maximum FPS (for very demanding scenes).

Optional but recommended:Turn Frame Generation → On (for extra FPS, especially with DLSS).
Enable NVIDIA Reflex → On or On + Boost (reduces latency).
Set VSync → Off.
Sharpness → 20-30% if the image looks soft.

I used the Performance option btw..

Yes and have tried all the fixes and reloading cloud data after starting over and same problem.

[crimson zinc]

... but keep in mind, unreal5 engine is known for memory leaks.... so only can do so much.

[lethal quartz]

servers still dont work 🙃

[crimson zinc]

... also kill your xbox overlay, huge resource hog...

[sturdy field]

I'm trying to retro engineering the game but it's hard to know where this issue is

[small spade]

Looks like a lot of people are having issues connecting to servers. I crash to desktop or am kicked out to main menu when I try to connect to the one I rented

[lethal quartz]

yeah the issue started yesterday and none of their "fixes" work

[grizzled gyro]

I cannot launch windrose and get to the main menu after the unreal logo appears. It just sits in the loading screen forever. I went and tried turning off cloud settings and copying the old folder and relaunching with steam cloud off. I make it to the main menu where it restarts character and progress. I then exit the game as instructed and turn cloud save back on and load from the cloud (not local)relaunch Windrose and get stuck after the unreal logo again.

Either I restart progress after 40 hours or I can't launch into main menu.

[sturdy field]

Interesting it semm that even if we are hosting the server the game still call the official api and fail. I will investigate and share here if i found how to fix this issue

[thick marsh]

Check read/write perms and server descr /world descr json

[viral thorn]

is it normal that windrose is constantly maxing out 2 cores on my server?

[jolly basalt]

same,,,cpu spikes like crazy

[jolly basalt]

mine just hit 110 percent and kicked us,,4 times in the last 20 minutes

[viral thorn]

are you emulating the server?

[jolly basalt]

no

through ping players,,they said it is a know issue waiting for devs to fix

[blissful fable]

hey ho .. a question .. i have my windows server on a proxmox with Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6136 CPU is this possible to run a windrose dedicated server on this maschine?

[viral thorn]

I am on wine and the only real bug I had was the water lagging ; fixed it by restarting

[viral thorn]

yes it should also work fine in a debian lxc

[lime topaz]

Should work so long as you set your ProxMox to pass through the CPU HW:

[blissful fable]

i have a vm with windows server 2022 but it will not start i have no idea what i can do

[deft geyser]

hi, I am trying to restore my save files (36hours played) and the backup copy paste thing does not help. Is there any other fix?

[blissful fable]

i have my cpu on type HOST

[sturdy field]

@grizzled gyro @small spade i found out the issue on my side check your DNS and don't use cloudflare dns 1.1.1.1 use your local DHCP

[manic mulch]

Yes you will most likely have to use. Direct IP to connect

[iron ridge]

According to that log looks like the server is in fact running. Read the bottom 5 lines

[viral thorn]

I think the os is to old; I run on debian and it works perfectly fine; I can send you my start and update scripts, you just need wine

[blissful fable]

mh ok

[viral thorn]

can someone ban this scam

[iron ridge]

Tuvok you have others more experienced helping did not see that sorry.

[blissful fable]

i have enable this on the config

[blissful fable]

windows server 2022 is to old? ok

[iron ridge]

I hope not that is what we just bought. ROFL.

[manic mulch]

Yep in the server discrp.json. file

[viral thorn]

it is still supported so might work but linux gave me the most stable experience for now

[blissful fable]

@viral thorn yes but i have at the moment windows running for all my games 🙂

in a datacenter

[grizzled gyro]

Okay, thought it would restart progress I will try local this time, thank you.

[blissful fable]

@viral thorn It doesn't do any good for you to say that Linux runs better if I'm using Windows and have to figure out a way to solve the problem there

[viral thorn]

oh ok, do you have any other logs?

[blissful fable]

i can send you the complete log

[manic mulch]

Also if it won't start you need newest c+ redis installed

[blissful fable]

ok .. what is the newest have you a link?

[blissful fable]

is installed

[viral thorn]

I think it would also explicitly say that in a error, if it would not be installed

[blissful fable]

hm is on a log file are critical informations?

[viral thorn]

in the startup logs like you allready send not realy just some info like difficulty and map name and stuff

[small spade]

I was on the phone with our ISP tech support and we set the DNS to what they told me and still nothing

[blissful fable]

@viral thorn https://pastebin.com/8VJabQkv

[viral thorn]

@blissful fable could you say your exact problem because the server log does not show any major problems

[grizzled gyro]

Yeah I tried the local way and goes back to restarting progress even when I go back to cloud save after local. I can get into the main menu screen by restarting progress with no issue. However the problem is I do not want to replay progress after 40 hours of game play. That is my issue-resolving the loading issue on my 40 hour progress character.

[blissful fable]

the server will not start and show the invite or password and says its ready

[glass jacinth]

well windrose was a fun game till all this loading screen stuff am done uninstalled cya all best of luck

[grizzled gyro]

Yeah, giving it a little time before requesting a refund. Unfortunate as its been very fun.

[glass jacinth]

@grizzled gyro requesting a refund now been a day an some done waitting now no reply to tickets or out

[viral thorn]

@blissful fable I can try connecting if your ok with that?

[blissful fable]

i can check

[amber ridge]

Anyone have their monitors lose connection after the game loads?

[sturdy field]

ISP ? You have to change it from your pc

[terse topaz]

any new updates on infinate loadinscreen?

[viral thorn]

@blissful fable I think it´s a network problem, you could try if it works without direct ip

[small spade]

I did change it on my PC. They had me manually type in IP and DNS. DNS we used were 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

[blissful fable]

yes direct ip works i think invite id not ..

but wait a little bit

[manic mulch]

They don't work together it's one or the orther

[blissful fable]

yes a friend say he is in the tutorial

ah ok

[signal tundra]

my game keeps crashing when i try to load into my server. anyone else had this problem ?

[small spade]

welcome to the club bud

[signal tundra]

lol

[viral thorn]

computer/steam restart fixed it for me

[blissful fable]

thank you for the help 🙂

[signal tundra]

Steam restart did the trick, thanks

[amber ridge]

Anyone have this issue….?

When I start the game and load in on any server or solo world, I have about 10 seconds, and then my monitors show no signal. They can’t find a connection. It only happens with Windrose. No other Game randomly disconnect my monitors. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the latest drivers, rolled back the drivers to a earlier version, adjusted full screen, borderless window, window aspects change the ratio of the monitors. Also tried multiple different resolutions. All of these have failed verifying game files works once in a while but not a consistent fix or Band-Aid.

[viral thorn]

what os are you on?

[amber ridge]

Windows 11

[restive quail]

This sounds like it's trying to force the incorrect frequency for the monitor. Like you have a 60Hz monitor, and the game is attempting to push 75Hz.

[amber ridge]

This just started after their last patch

Ahould I change the frequency to something? I typically leave that set for default

[viral thorn]

you could try adding +fps_max 60 to your steam startup parameters

[amber ridge]

Where do I’d o that st?

[amber ridge]

10-4. I just set fos to lock at 60 instead of unlinitrd. Going to try this

I have a RTX 4090. So idk why I need to do this but we’ll see lol

It’s been over 10 seconds and it hasn’t done it. You might be onto something.Ty :). I’ll keep you posted if it continues and I’ll try the next suggestion I said

[manic mulch]

But yea you would use internal IP to get to the server if it's in your home lan and friend would use isp IP and port to connect or ddns

[rapid wyvern]

Is there any fixing of how much memory it absorbs why the server is running? It’s very memory hungry.

[viral thorn]

you cant reduce how much memory it uses but with two players it should be around 6Gb

[manic mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/pacman-video-game-eating-marshmallow-gif-6008098

[glacial hatch]

question about linux dedicated server: do you have to install a graphic environment in order for Windrose to run? Whenever I try, I get

[viral thorn]

thats completly normal and should not cause any problems I am also running headless for a few days now

[glacial hatch]

It quits out immediately after. Never creates the R5 folder

[manic mulch]

Is the vm set CPU host?

[glacial hatch]

It is

[rapid wyvern]

We have 6 players but usually 3 or 4 is in at a time and it uses around 9.4gb out of 16 so sailing it’s kinda glitchy stuttering

[viral thorn]

could you send the full log?

[manic mulch]

What was thatblip

😂

[viral thorn]

thats not a ram problem; but I had that too a server restart fixed it

[rapid wyvern]

I thought of that too. I restarted the server and the whole computer and it ran great for about five minutes or less and right back to stuttering again while you’re sailing.

[viral thorn]

weird how many times have you tried restarting?

[thorny vigil]

anyone know why my hotbar just stops working? I can't pulll out my sword, or anything.

[rapid wyvern]

Twice and within five minutes, it started tugging again. I have 16 gigs of RAM into it. I run all my other servers and I don’t ever have a problem, but this one sucks up memory hard.

[viral thorn]

it should only be a memory problem when your realy hitting the 16gb

[rapid wyvern]

Well, what would you think would be the problem why the stuttering like that it didn’t start until yesterday

[viral thorn]

is the water like stuttering but your sailing is smooth?

[rapid wyvern]

No, it would be like you’ll be sailing and it will pause then it’ll catch back up again then it will go slow but stuttered a little bit pause for a quick second then I’ll catch back up again

[viral thorn]

could you send you other stats like cpu usage because that definitly sounds like a performance problem

[rapid wyvern]

Ok I’ll try to get them right now where would they be at

[viral thorn]

depends what system your using

[rapid wyvern]

Windows 11

[viral thorn]

just the task manager then

[rapid wyvern]

Ok getting it now

That is with no one on server just idol

[rapid wyvern]

And yes, I have tried it with him without the server manager, and still the same. I thought the server manager might’ve been doing that I started this game without the server manager, and it still does the same.

[restive quail]

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

There is an issue where idle server is pushing a couple CPU cores to 100% almost constantly. That thread has some workarounds, or you can submit your data to help the devs find the issue.

[viral thorn]

I got that issue but I dont think its the problem from @rapid wyvern

[restive quail]

Oh I see, moved back a bit. If you have FSR turned on in the game, turn it off.

[rapid wyvern]

That is me just jumping on and started sailing

[restive quail]

DLSS same as FSR. Try turning that off, and set your frame rate limit to the closest that is the max for your monitor.

[rapid wyvern]

You only have three choices in office, not one of them

[restive quail]

hmm

[rapid wyvern]

I just started sailing

[viral thorn]

its definitly a game bug

[rapid wyvern]

So nothing wrong with the server or my PC is the game itself that probably I can’t fix until they update it so they can fix it

[viral thorn]

if it also appears in solo yes

[rapid wyvern]

I’m not sure how I would do on solo like right now. I am the only one on the game. It seems like it’s sailing fine right now no glitch you know hesitation.

[glacial hatch]

That's all I get out of the steam log, and the game doesn't produce any logs that I can find before closing.

[viral thorn]

do you have c+ redis installed?

[nimble cradle]

Hi Guys.

So I bought a dedicated server for me and my friend via Nitrado.

When trying to connect to the server, the game just crashes to desktop.

Any ideas?

[viral thorn]

try restarting steam/computer fixed it for me

[wise gate]

i logged out of the world i was in at the israel chamber and now i crash when i try to join the server

[compact forge]

i was just in my server i switch games come back and now i cant load into my world i dont know if that is a perfomance issue or just something that is happening

[wise gate]

i think somethings happening

servers prob down again

[compact forge]

i mean there are people playing right now

[wise gate]

nvm i can load in now

[rapid wyvern]

That’s two people sailing and now it’s nonstop crazy stuttering

[compact forge]

it says loading then after the 3 dots stop appearing and im stuck there

holy

[devout spade]

Ah yes, weekend time. Would be nice to be able to actually load into a game rather than crashing every time.

[buoyant oxide]

Whats with the constant crashing?

[buoyant oxide]

Same, takes about 10 tries to get in the server then play for 10 min and crash again🤣

[compact forge]

dont blame them tbh game i still in progress but it was working well yesterday lol

[devout spade]

It's there game? lol who else do you want to blame. Nobody told them to create it, that was there choice

[vital drum]

small indie company early access bugs are to be expected with small dev teams like this sometimes a 1 line change can break something and go unnoticed during a project push

if you really care roll back your game a update to the stable version and move on

[nimble cradle]

So is everyone crashing when trying to connect to their own dedi server?

[vital drum]

i personally have not had issues this morning

[nimble cradle]

I just bought a server from their reccomended provider, but it crashes when loading in

[vital drum]

try connecting via direct IP i noticed issues with their ice protocol yesterday

[nimble cradle]

will try now

[vital drum]

you do have configure it in the config ill help just let me RDP into my server

[nimble cradle]

ill turn that on now, and try again

[vital drum]

put your machines local ip as direct connection server address (or public ip with no proxy)

open port 7777

direct connect port to 7777

make sure proxy address is 0.0.0.0 this is what worked for me

i also use a proxy service to direct to the local machines IP so it may be different for doing direct connect another way

[unkempt umbra]

For those who have issues with infinite loading after having joined another dedicated server. Goto Nexus Mods and download "Windrose Save Repair Tool", run that and reset your character back to vanilla that will fix your problem most likely.

[buoyant oxide]

Crashing in the main menu also now its getting worse

[nimble cradle]

na no joy, still crashes

[nimble cradle]

So we have to reset our character?

[vital drum]

can you pull your crashlog?

[unkempt umbra]

it doesnt reset your character it checks if theres something wrong compared to a vanilla character and repairs it, itll show in the menu

[nimble cradle]

ill take a look

[vital drum]

its in appdata/local/r5/saved/logs

[unkempt umbra]

it doesnt reset your character (just repairs it) it checks if theres something wrong compared to a vanilla character and repairs it, itll show in the menu

If your character is somehow corrupt itll show status 'suspicious'.. press repair and you're good to go.

[buoyant oxide]

After a week game becomes unplayable what a disaster 👍🏼

[vital drum]

see without a crash log no one can really help you tbh i personally have not experienced crashing despite the countless people complaining about it

[buoyant oxide]

Doesnt give me one when it freezes my whole computer the game is just completely broken

[nimble cradle]

Worst part, I only just bought the game and server today lol

[vital drum]

what are your computer specs? possible ram leak

[buoyant oxide]

Not about the specs everyone i play with has the same issue and lots of people complaining about the same issue

Just fix it someday pls

[vital drum]

well i mean it kind of does matter when minimum requirments is 16gb and recommended is 32gb of ram

[buoyant oxide]

I have 32 ddr5

[nimble cradle]

My account is good

So its not that

[devout spade]

Enormous shoutout to this person. This actually worked, I've been trying to login for days. Thanks again

[unkempt umbra]

Glad to help.

They should sticky that.

Would solve alot of issues for alot of people.

[devout spade]

Tag one of them fellas that @ashen fog guys been pretty helpful

[winter saddle]

Hello and good morning how is everyone doing this morning? 😄

[spring agate]

Hello, is there a way to host windrose server on linux other than through WINE?

[trail estuary]

hello could someone help me I can't connect to my friend's server, when i try it either crashes the game or brings me back to the main menu

[wise gate]

dedicated?

[trail estuary]

yes via code

[vital drum]

ive noticed a lot of issues with the code joining protocol for Dedicated servers have you been able to connect via code before?

if not then id suggest direct IP connection

[trail estuary]

no i just downloaded the game

[wise gate]

ip connection always makes it go into main menu again

[lethal quartz]

got my nitrado server working, if you have a leveling mod and you go above lvl 15 host server and join server will break

[vital drum]

i was having that issue aswell if the config file isnt configured properly it goes back to menu you can actually verify if connection was even attempted via the prompt window idk why but its very picky i ended up using a reverse proxy and have it pointing to my local ip on my server

[nimble cradle]

My Nitrado server doesnt work with both id or ip connect, just punts me back to the menu.

Brand new server install, and I only bought windrose today

[vital drum]

i would say its probably not even receiving the conenction attempt

[nimble cradle]

Tried that nexus mods thing, and it says my account is fine

[unkempt umbra]

youll have to check nitrado log for the error code you get

[lethal quartz]

go to their diagnostic menu for connection

if that dosent work i file transfered every missing file/folder using filezilla to nitrado

[vital drum]

if its exiting to menu its probably not even getting a connection attempt.. for a failed connection i noticed it issues a disconnect in the log but keeps client infinietly loading

[lethal quartz]

check firewall/windows security make sure its allowed then check IPv4 & IPv6 preference and try the DNS change

[unkempt umbra]

dns 8.8.8.8 / 4.4.4.4 or 1.1.1.1

[ashen fog]

Sup?

[vital drum]

he wanted someone to sticky this @ashen fog

[ashen fog]

Oh, thanks, let me get our guys to check it first

We're working rn on save files issue precisely

We've already had ppl downloading mods with viruses and trojans, so recommending mods for installation is something we're very careful with

[leaden venture]

#💬│windrose-chat message

[nimble cradle]

Can I put my R5 log file here to see if anyone knows why the kick back to menu happens trying to join a nitrado server?

[wintry patrol]

Hello i wanna optimize my game with my config too bad on FPS someone help me ?

[ashen fog]

We're a bit on a heavier side in terms of saving data to the disk. We're aware of it, looking for ways to improve. While we ourselves don't consdier it disk-ruining, we know that people tend to be very cautious with their hardware, so it's in the "fixes pool" rn.

[unkempt umbra]

The repair tool doesnt have a payload it's save, but putting it under attention would save alot of people looking for a solution.

And tech support to 😉

[ashen fog]

Yeah, if it's something that solid number of ppl worry about, we consider it worth investigating, so we're looking into this one as well

Saves, connectivity, server cpu load when idle, disk write, radeon gpu crashes, other issues, we've noted them all down and going through them one by one. Basically everything that was common complain in support/bug sections is logged internally. I can't promise any 100% fixes or ETA (sorry for that :( ), but you can be sure that significant majority of issues/reports were not left unnoticed and we'll do our best to tackle them.

[vital drum]

rabble rabble rablle how dare you take time to fix a early access game 😆

[ashen fog]

:(

[lethal quartz]

only early access and the best pirate game since black flag lol

[crystal spire]

why cant i join my friends dedicated server?

[lethal quartz]

yall using mods

[glass jacinth]

that repair thing did not work

[ashen fog]

Save files repair? Random files might be borked, I dought this nexus mod can fix all the causes

Your best call is to restore from backup

[gritty nacelle]

By chance is it known what mods have viruses?

[ashen fog]

No idea, we've seen reports but we're not tracking mod scene extensively atm

[glass jacinth]

@ashen fog i been at it a day an half hoping to get bk on the game so burnt out plus no clue what am doing

[ashen fog]

Dpread too thin for that :(

[ashen fog]

Have you tried restoring from a backup?

[vital drum]

So i was helping someone and their log is suggesting that Nitrado is refusing a Turn connection UDP port

BTW

[glass jacinth]

@ashen fog would not know how to do that sir am pc thick i just install an play

[charred echo]

Anyone running Windrose Docker server and know where I could check logs to see why either 1. game crashes and restarts or 2. What might be causing the container itself to restart? (Dedi Server)

[vapid raft]

Hi, is there any feature coming to the game where uncollected items or dropped items are automatically removed/destroyed, e.g. a wolf attacks and destroys a bush, it becomes fiber that remains on the ground and when that happens often, the game starts to lag when there are a lot of unpicked items in the game world?

[vital drum]

r5/saved/logs ?

[ashen fog]

Yeah, it's also on to fix list (right now only items player drops disappear, but we'll make it so all dropped stuff will disappear unless within bonfire radius)

[vapid raft]

That's great to hear, and thank you very much for answering so quickly ❤️ ❤️

[glass jacinth]

@ashen fog did not work did as you posted

[pulsar fiber]

I have a problem. It doesn't let me log into my world. I press Play - Solo/Offline - Confirm. After some loading time, it kicks me back to the "Play" screen. Is it the game or my pc's problem? Any thoughts?

[iron ridge]

Others have had this issue so it could be either or. What are your PC specs?
CPU?
GPU?
RAM Amount?

[charred echo]

Codex + Logs is fun lol

[pulsar fiber]

dont know, I'm at a net cafe but the pcs are good enough, I've played here before

[charred echo]

Wonder if my save is corrupted just a bit

[blazing nest]

so im new to hosting but i just bought a server and have copied the save file and changes config to match game file save but everytime i restart the server it creats another game save file and doesnt open mine anyone have an idea

[charred echo]

I think you need to check the World ID#s and match them up

[spring agate]

@ashen fog sorry for tagging, but I see you active, will there ever be a linux dedicated server? having some issues with starting it on wine on linux server

[blazing nest]

by that you mean the saved folder name

[charred echo]

Yeah but i think it also needs to match a .json file. Let me check there was a guide explaining it

[blazing nest]

yeah i changed the file name in the json file and saved but then i restart and it creats a new game again haha#

[charred echo]

Did you spin game down, then make change - then boot up?

[blazing nest]

sorry not sure of that term haha if you meant shut game down and server yes then i rebooted

[charred echo]

Yeah sorry that was vague, I think theres alot of writing occuring upon game reboot - So if you make changes while its running, it can overwrite and corrupt stuff. Check this one at maybe: https://low.ms/knowledgebase/windrose-backup-restore

[vagrant marten]

question does anyone know if i set up a server on Nitrado do i need the 10 slot or can i just use the lower 8 slot one. its only 2 of us playing but i wasnt sure if there was a difference in performance

[blazing nest]

def had shut it all down so not sure, same save name in both as i cpoied and paste both

[lethal quartz]

server ram matters more

unless you have 10 do 8 and use the extra money for ram

[midnight arrow]

Any way to clear all dropped items? Like an admin command?
I would even settle for a mod that makes everything expire after X minutes.

[charred echo]

If it helps at all, my server with 5-6 players on average sits at about ~10-13gb memory usage pretty comfy

[weary finch]

Is there a guide how to edit the dedicated Steam Server? If i install the Steam server i can connect to it, but i can't configure anyting. Any Guides to this topic?

[vagrant marten]

config files should be in the server folder

[weary finch]

Yeah i've found the config to change the Password/Name etc. but not the difficulty etc. any ideas where to find this?

[iron ridge]

@weary finch should be in the same folder that it would be in the Dedicated Server. Which you can find a guide for that #1298583059402063926 the only difference between them should be that one is done with Steam CMD the other with Steam Client.

[weary finch]

thanks!

[vital drum]

just note i was helping someone diagnose a connection issue to their Nitrado server earlier and i found out that a UDP port that is required for the turn server was being blocked in his case

so keep that in mind

[vital drum]

the difficulty settings are found in <root folder>/R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/<game version>/Worlds/<world document id>/WorldDescription.json` theres actually a file in the installation called dedicatedserver.md that can help you it has a lot of useful information

[undone burrow]

Yo. Did you verify that the target IP was in our ASN? What port was blocked?

Trying to understand if you saw the connection to the actual game server or the connection to the coturn server for the region

[vital drum]

i literally cannot send the exact thing it said but it was port 3478 the message was blocked but its their turn server being blocked

it was the EU turn server connection that was being blocked

[undone burrow]

Yeah that's the STUN port. That would probably fail for the user on any EU server then. Might be worth a report to the studio (or a complaint to the ISP)

[vital drum]

gonna DM rq is that alright?

[undone burrow]

Sure

[flat dock]

when hosting a dedicated server. I get MANY server crashes. Is this a known issue?

[amber ridge]

Anyone else have the issue where when your in the game for 10 seconds your monitors lose signal ?

[iron ridge]

That would not be the game that would be your Monitor having issues. All a monitor does is display what the GPU tells it to. Check the connections on back of PC make sure they are good. Check for heat if too hot could turn off. Dirt/Dust build up can cause this.

[amber ridge]

It’s definelty something with the game. It never happened before and only happens when I play windrose after the part update. Definelty a game based issue

[iron ridge]

AI Overview
No, playing games cannot physically damage a monitor, as they only send display data. However, risks include burn-in from static UI elements on OLED/plasma screens, or hardware failure from incorrectly overclocking the refresh rate. Excessive FPS over a monitor's refresh rate causes visual tearing, not damage.

Faulty Connections: Damaged cables or bad connections can create flickering or black screens, but it is rarely the game software's fault.

If you are seeing lines or artifacts, it is almost certainly a failure of the monitor panel itself, not caused by the game you are playing, as discussed in this Tom's Hardware forum thread.

Very simple Google Search and no the monitor is not effected by the game.

[amber ridge]

It’s something more than that. Monitors are fine. Already checked cables and their connections. I see no artifacts, nothing outside of the monitors are just no longer recognized after a few seconds in game

[iron ridge]

ROFL

[vital drum]

I mean could theoretically be a faulty GPU driver but still wouldnt be because of the game

[iron ridge]

Okay then wait for the devs to fix your monitor. Did your car not start because you played the game too? Do some searching and learn. GEEZ.

Tried to help with facts was told no those facts are wrong so instead of further upsetting them I will leave it alone. Good laugh though.

[amber ridge]

The card is fine. Monitors are fine. If this were to be the issue, it would persist between all games/appa. Not just the one. Definelty something going on

[shrewd pond]

You're being a bellend. If you are unable to join in forums to provide assistance without acting like a child you should just keep out.

[grizzled igloo]

not necessarily any actual game trouble. but does anyone have the steps to add the stack mod?

[iron ridge]

Who put you in charge kid? I miss something. Butt out.

[shrewd pond]

Cool man, carry on embarrasing yourself, your call

[vital drum]

its a support thread not a make a clown of yourself thread

[shrewd pond]

Luckily I wont have to see it anymore with the blocked function 😄

[amber ridge]

I appreciate it but I just blocked and reported that assclown lol. Thanks tho.

I’ll keep trying to get and figure out what’s going on. Will post when I figure out the issue/solution. I found a couple or temporary workarounds with the help of some peeps in here but nothings actually fixed it yet

[sick cloak]

Any dedicated servers having issues with lag when fighting or anything?

[vital drum]

i would say its probably a Resolution difference between what the game is trying to display and what your monitor is actually displaying if you put it in windowed mode do you still experience this?

[shrewd pond]

Reinstalling your GPU driver is the obvious first step imo

[wary parrot]

hey quick question, i made a ded server and now I lost all my fast travel spots, thoughts?

[amber ridge]

What I thought originally too, so I’ve adjusted the window version full screen and borderless window. Also adjusted resolutions matching that of the desktop at different types of resolutions. Nothing’s fixed it if I do a verification of files, go to window set both game in desktop to the same resolution sometimes it works. Let me play but the moment I log out even if nothing has changed as far as the settings go it repeats the issue. I truly think it’s more so something that needs to be fundamentally patched, but I haven’t seen any other post with this issue.

[amber ridge]

This is true. It’s the first thing I did. I also roll back to the drivers to the previous version. Nothing fixed it.

Also set my FPS to lock at 60 instead of unlimited that helped for a while, but the issue started to persist again.

All the fixes that I have done to make it work have now failed. I’ll have to wait for the next update/patch to play again. Pretty disappointing

Thanks for those who tried to help but I think I’ll just move onto a different game for low

[zinc lava]

I'm not seeing it posted anywhere, how much ram does the Nitrado servers use? Can you increase it? Or should you?

[vital drum]

like 16gb i have 32gb on this VM and its only using 13

but thats also with only 2 people on right now

[real oriole]

hello there... have same one problem with crushing/lagging sound in game? i tryed everithing and nothing what i and my friend found working.... i made clear instalation of whole system, but problem not solved... sound was crushing/lagging whíth headphones and speaker too....

[opal gale]

yeah it would probably be only 2 of us.. maybe 4. But as I'm going through getting the server I don't see the option to increase it if I wanted too

[vital drum]

could very well be dynamic i would have to look into how the U5 engine handles servers

[zenith quest]

is this the right channel for talking about server hosting?

nevermind i see the channel description

does anybody use the indifferentbroccoli windrose docker image? is it difficult to set up on debian?

[vital drum]

why not just use proton instead of running some random image you found on github

i havent looked into it personally but Proton is working fine with it

[zenith quest]

ive been wanting to experiment with docker, so i thought i'd take the chance

[sick cloak]

I think we are going to move to a G-portal server vs nitrado.. they are having tons of issues

[vital drum]

i was talking to a rep he said direct connect will work they will work on the issue i put forth turn server is being blocked

[manic mulch]

heh all the hosting pros are haveing some kind of issue

[opal gale]

Going through the search on the channel for Nitrado and I'm seeing quite a few people having issues with it... should I maybe look at a different server provider

[vital drum]

G-portal is a option Self host is the best option Nitrado will be fixed soon now that they know what the issue is

thats my opinion on it all

[gritty nacelle]

There are may options on hosts

[opal gale]

I've used LogicServer in the past for Enshrouded and Soulmask

[vital drum]

A lot of the hosts are overpriced and have shiet support TBH if i got my way everyone would be using a VPS instead

[gritty nacelle]

Most ppl just want to boot there server & Join, 90% of people dont even use mods.
So most will never want to use a vps

[gritty nacelle]

Running fine on proton 🙂

[vital drum]

Yeah my server is running the dedicated on proton inside a VM been having no issues all in all

[gritty nacelle]

I have not noticed anything my self on our own servers.

[sudden arrow]

anyone else having server stutter? i dunno if its cus we progressed far enough for the server not to be able to handle stuff?

RANDOM FREEZING CRASHING IN GAME FIX : turn off frame gen 🙂

[twilit osprey]

Hello. I launched a dedicated server from the Steam Library tools, and yesterday we played as a trio with no issues. Everything worked fine.

But today, one friend can join without any problems, while another cannot. The friend who can't join sees the loading screen where the "Loading" title flickers from small to big, and then either the game shuts down completely or returns him to the main menu.

He tried to join 7 times, and the same issue happened every time. He already restarted his PC and verified the integrity of the game files.

Does anyone know what might be causing this problem?

[nova cedar]

Anyone running Windrose plus on their server?

[astral patio]

i was open my server with windroseplus and eu4ss i change the multipliers. I play few min after restart the servers. But i never join again that servers. Always passive.

[digital drift]

Heya! Bisect peep here 👋 The only real cause of this in most cases is the ID you passed not being found in the Save Directory (or a file in said save is corrupt - leading to it failing to load); the Windrose server itself will forcecibly change it + regenerate a new one 🤔

If you're still having trouble, give our team a holler on the site via bisecthosting.com/support - our team is happy to help ya get it sorted 🫶

[sick cloak]

what do you mean by turn server is being blocked?

[sick cloak]

do you know why our new server wouldn't be showing up in recently played? we are having to enter the IP and port everytime we connect, and the invite code won't work

[vital drum]

Turn server is the server that connects users to P2P so you connect to the turn server the turn server redirects you to the game server

[jagged zinc]

heyy guys this case already happened with u?

Yesterday I was playing normally using self-hosting in the game. Today I can only open offline sessions.
I created a new character and it worked fine, so it seems like the issue is with my main save.
It’s kind of funny because I can play normally offline, but when I try to go online it loads for a while and then sends me back to the main menu.

[rustic pendant]

Why does it restart my game everytime I join my server. It's happening to all of my friends including me

[vital drum]

i believe there is currently a issue with services but dont quote me on that

[manic mulch]

its one or the other not both - (as for saveing the info they are working on it ) so useing direct ip - cant use code

[sick cloak]

ah ok thanks!

[winter saddle]

My buddy bought a server or rented 🙂

[languid hare]

I need help I haven’t been able to join any multiplayer game with friends but they are able to join me just fine I’ve tried just joining there multiplayer game and a dedicated server that he got and I get either stuck on a loading screen and eventually goes black or it just force closes the game

[winter saddle]

It works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't

[twilit osprey]

Same problem here. But im the owner of dedicated server and me with other friend can join all the time no problem, however one friend is getting back to main menu from loading screen

[winter saddle]

Even starting it by administrator doesn't work 🙁

[manic mulch]

so did they switch there server over to direct?

[winter saddle]

Same here!!

[winter saddle]

Oh I'm not sure, but I will ask thanks for the next step ❤️

[twilit osprey]

However yesterday we played as trio with no problem

[winter saddle]

Yeah trio works and if they log off and I'm there palying by myself it works for about 3 hrs then it kicks me off

I mean I almost have 100 hours in this game and I keep disconnecting and reconnectin haha I love this game!! Just it would work every time haha ❤️

Hi, I'm struggling to setup a dedicated server on my AMP server for Windrose.
I have created the instance, and tried to start it, so that it creates the world data (at least that's what I think I'm supposed to be doing), but it's failing to start with the following error:

"Failed to install app '4129620' (Missing configuration)"

[twilit osprey]

However now we both left the server and let that one friend join, so atleast now he is not getting kicked, now its just loading screen forever

[winter saddle]

Yeah mine just exits to windows or back to the main menu 🙁

[twilit osprey]

Identical to my friend

Maybe you have high ping?

[winter saddle]

I can show you a speed test. It says 17ms in Miami

I'm not even on wifi, but i've tried wifi and hotspot

[twilit osprey]

then its ok, i though maybe it ping connection problem, but no

turning off dlss frame gen fixed all issues for me and my brother

[twilit osprey]

Could you give me more detailed instruction how to do it?

[buoyant oxide]

in game--> video settings --> frame generation type OFF

[twilit osprey]

for all of us or just only for the guy who has problem joining to server?

[misty kernel]

Lol the game cant push 60fps natively without DLSS/Frame gen

Turning it off will make the performance abysmal

[buoyant oxide]

everyone who has problems

[buoyant oxide]

yea but i was crashing and freezing every 2 min and couldnt connect so win is a win 😄

[misty kernel]

Frame Gen has nothing to do with that

[buoyant oxide]

for me AND my brother it was the only thing that fixed everything i said

we tried lots of things and frame gen for some reason was the solution

[misty kernel]

Thats probably because your computers arent set up properly.

[buoyant oxide]

they are trust

[twilit osprey]

This is the message i got when my friend cant join, anyone know what that means

[buoyant oxide]

you dont have to believe me that turning off frame gen worked but i have no reason to lie xD

[misty kernel]

I think the servers are struggling right now, because I keep getting booted out of my own server

[still trail]

lol what? I'm getting 60 without upscaling OR framegen with a 3060TI at 1080p

[twilit osprey]

But we are hosting servers on our own PCs on our own recources independend no?

[misty kernel]

Same and for whatever reason the connections keep dropping but nothing else is effected. Took to google and outages are popping up slowly

[misty kernel]

Show your graphic settings

[twilit osprey]

So we just need to wait so devs fix this issue?

[misty kernel]

Yea whole graphic settings, including DLSS, Frame Gen, and a video of you playing with an FPS clock

[still trail]

it's def laggy in places, Tortuga I get drops

but that happens even if I drop settings, so 🤷‍♂️

silly little hotfix that was done has stopped me playihng it again on linux AGAIN lol... nvidia 5080 wiht the 595 drivers... had it working and now its stopped again lol

[still trail]

wonder if that 3060 has anything to do with our difference, my ex had a 3060 and it was surprising how much better some stuff ran on mine than hers

it has the memory on a lower bandwidth than the rest of the 30xx series

[manic mulch]

?

[misty kernel]

3060 12GB OCe is a powerhouse in its own rite because its not the usual hardware inside, it has modifications.

[still trail]

oh don't get me wrong, there's great applications for the extra vram, but the lower bandwidth has its own issues

going to ping you so we don't fill this channel up lol, but yeah I can help there 😛

[misty kernel]

Depends on what you are doing with the card that will require more bandwidth or not.

[still trail]

tl;dr screen, xvfb, and wine-11.0 should fix those

[misty kernel]

A windows install bypasses all of these issues

[exotic harness]

its the only game I have issues with on linux tbh.

[misty kernel]

Well it is brand new and 90% of the time games are made on Windows devkits so Linux is an after thought.

had it working with out any issue and then it broke again lol

Give them time to centralize a version for linux, everyones linux install is different as you kinow

[rose basin]

I NEED HELP me and my friend cant get on multiplayer i was told its the internet company blocking something can any1 help me solve the problem

[exotic harness]

the main problem is probably the crappy nvidia drivers more than anythin

[rose basin]

what ports do we use

[misty kernel]

Yes, but Nvidia also backseats Linux because they dont want to waste resources

[exotic harness]

I would hardly say its wasting resrouces

[still trail]

yeah but then you get... windows.

[exotic harness]

very much this

[misty kernel]

Windows in of itself isnt the problem. Its the fact people try to frankenstine it with their own "intelligence" or they fail to uninstall things (copilot, one drive etc) and then complain that they keep getting "ads" but once you uninstall those, you get 0 notifications for them anymore. Also, people forget they are part of the insider program and get sent beta builds and complain their windows is always broken LOL.

Its not a problem, people just dont know how to operate their computers. I've been IT for over 16 years and I have worked for Xbox and helpdesk for Microsoft both as interns during college and after. But I digress

[fierce estuary]

I supposse there's no definitive solution to the endless loading screen

[still trail]

it's not that it's a problem, it's that it's annoying.

[misty kernel]

It might be backend of the game for now until they can find a solution to loading handles

[delicate ginkgo]

Hi everyone. Have you ever encountered a player who can't connect to me? The servers are working fine. I can connect to the player's server. We can't figure out how to fix it

[misty kernel]

I guess I am just built different because its no different than having pre-loaded apps on a iPhone or Android that I never asked for

[fierce estuary]

I had the same issue yesterday but was able to join my friend's game twice, now it's impossible

bum ahh game i'm way past the refund window by now

[misty kernel]

If you would rather complain than actually seek help or have paitenence then you are free to leave. The game is in Early Access, there will be issues.

[fierce estuary]

I've tried 4 different methods from the FAQs by now

[misty kernel]

Once again, the game is in Early Access. There will be issues.

[still trail]

who said it was the pre-loaded apps?

[misty kernel]

Moving the goal posts to conform to windows-hate stereotypes is unbecoming. Lets end this topic, its not on topic.

[still trail]

moving what goalpost? 🤣 I never set that one, you threw it there and then attacked it all on your own

[still trail]

that's rough! hopefully they get some fixes in soon, they have already fixed a few things fast, including adding direct connections

[winter saddle]

Just tried this didn't work for me 🙁

[misty kernel]

What issue are you having?

[winter saddle]

Just logging onto the sever without other people being on the sever and sometimes even while they are on the server I can not connect to said server

I've tried so many things 😄

At this point I think I'm just going to bend over and take it up the straight pipe 😄

[misty kernel]

Sounds more like a network related issue.

I’m trying to upload my co op world to nitrado. I’m following a YouTube guide but don’t see the “AppData” folder anyone might know why?

[still trail]

go to %localappdata%/R5

then follow the tree down from there and you'll find it!

[modest stag]

Quick question - If your back up's have reset because cloud saves have updated and you have the infinite loading screen. Is that GG?

[modest vessel]

How do you upload a whole world file to nitrado? tried figuring it out but cant seem to upload.
Is it just me or does Nitrado UI take a learning curve? its so much more complicated at least in my opinion compared to Bisect

[still trail]

I don't use nitrado but can you upload an entire folder there?

[dim nexus]

https://server.nitrado.net/en-US/guides/how-to-upload-a-local-world-to-your-windrose-server

[modest vessel]

To bisect? yea I just literally drag and drop the folder into the directory but was thinking of giving Nitrado a try

[modest vessel]

tyty !

[light roost]

Which distro and are you using wine emulation or docker image? I'm trying to get a dedi server running on my cachy system and I'm fighting it tooth and nail.

[dim nexus]

No problem. But I can't recommend Nitrado for more than 4 Players.

[modest vessel]

What would you say is a better option for more than 4?

[dim nexus]

I didn't try yet but read on reddit G-Portal, Indifferent Broccoli

[still trail]

you asked about uploading, you should be able to just drop your save folder in whatever host you choose

[mystic vigil]

sooo... opposite to the prior question ... how do i download the world file folder...
like the small files have a download button but the folder dosnt..

[still trail]

ok for both @mystic vigil and @modest vessel I just glanced and they have FTP credentials

you can just get WinSCP or another similar program and connect then copy in/out

Question, is there something wrong with direct ip? I try to start one and it just kicks back to main menu

[slender cradle]

yes i am familiar with the bounty npc's. there is no way to interact with them. no prompt to press "e" nothing happens when i do. same for two other players on my server

[still trail]

hm - do you have mods? first instinct would be to shut those off, second would be just a restart, server in this case since it's not just one client

[slender cradle]

no mods. just a windrose server hosted on havoc.

[light arrow]

Do i need to have internet to use this? Trying to do it via lan

[still trail]

darn. was hoping it'd be that simple - I've only seen one other person have that issue, and they never said if they got a fix for it. sec.

@bronze sand any chance you ever fixed your NPC interaction issue?

see if he responds lol

I can test for you if no one answers. never tried but I can real quick

Hello

i cant selected map :((

[bronze sand]

Not really: I just created a new map, found the Buccaneers, and could interact.

I did some fumbling around and found

• that while the NPC's avatars were there, their names didn't pop up at all, not just that the E interact wasn't there.
• it was server based, not character. I took one of my other characters in to that world and they had the same issue

[still trail]

darn, Bonxxy is having the same issue, only seen you two mention it so far so was hoping. thanks for letting us know!

[light arrow]

Thank you

[slender cradle]

yup same issue but with buccaneers only

[still trail]

lol that was for Bonxxy's issue, I'm spinning up a second server to test yours, don't want to shut mine down so I'll be just a sec

[still trail]

just tested, it works just fine with no internet, so the issue isn't directip itself

something else is causing that

I do not think you can do that - I've tried that with both chars and worlds to test, and it didn't work in any attempt, partial or full

I imagine the files contain the ID somewhere, or some such

that said, if you're having an issue still, what is that issue with? you said you deleted that second char.

is the first char not loading? or one of your worlds?

[rustic ice]

I uh..... I have no sound

[north elbow]

Got a bug where the game will quit to the main menu whenever an item is picked up now. Any suggestions?

Turns out it's a corrupted save file

[gaunt kernel]

I'm in a similar boat. My personal save (solo offline) works fine. My buddies server we've all played on since day 1, crashes anytime we "autosort".

[north elbow]

Huh it's such a weird bug lol. We made a new character and it's fine now.

[timber seal]

Hey folks, i bought a 6 man premium server with survivalservers and for 2 weeks they keep saying the server random STOPS are because of windrose the game not theri servers. Are any of you having this issue? We just hopped in just my wife and I, went to an island to free the last prisoners (yes we are that far behind, have had to make new characters because of some corruption nonsense + servers random stops) and the server just stopped here again 10 min into playing while walking over to the objective.

[still trail]

running a dedicated server on my own hardware, that doesn't happen.

the char corruption is an known issue, though

[gaunt kernel]

Yeah, we're typically restarting our server every couple hours. Things have been getting worse and now we can barely play. I'm not sure if so much patching has happened since day1, that the older servers are cooked?

[timber seal]

Well shucks, im paying for significantly more resources at 60 bucks every 3 months for the server, and they claim everyone is having this issue but i dont see any twitch streamer with it

I guess hosting server and just playing when I am able to play on weekends is best option right now, see if the server will refund??

[gaunt kernel]

Yeah. Thats my advice tbh. You can play and progress in your own solo (offline) games, and then have a "community" game that you host together on the weekends. All of your progress (character, items, quest status, levels, etc) carry over to other peoples hosted servers.

[still trail]

that, or if you have some technical experience, you can get the windrose dedicated server and leave it going

it's in the steam store free, and in steamcmd

[timber seal]

havent hosted my own since minecraft days with kids, but i guess we could, but if it is windrose crashing the server, will that make any difference?

[still trail]

if that was the case, then it wouldn't, but I haven't had those issues at all personally. I run mine on linux so I did have some wine issues, but just got those resolved.

[timber seal]

sounds like it's worth a shot, just frustrating having buddies deployed that cant play throughout week with the family here at home

which app is it on steam for that?

[still trail]

right, and keep in mind you can transfer the world files between servers

so you can take your world off the current host and bring it locally, and use the same save in a dedicated server, and if that doesn't work, just move it to your personal game

just search windrose in your library if on steam itself

for steamcmd if on a different machine, it's 4129620

[timber seal]

got it, gonna go give this try with wife and kids real quick

many thanks\

[still trail]

good luck! and just toss that world file around until you find what works 😄

when mine was down from the wine issue, I just hosted the same world myself until I got it fixed

[timber seal]

excellent

[thick ledge]

What is the best way to troubleshoot game crashes using this Discord? Do I post here?

[still trail]

here or https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1493348541177794601

[snow iron]

game occasionally crashes only when im in a friends server.. im the only one in the server experiencing this. any tips?

[thick ledge]

Thank you. I will look for it first in the bug report. I find the error name hilarious being called "Unexpected Error". Now it is should be called, expected error.

[winter saddle]

Me and many others are having the same issue and no one has any answers apparently 😄

[timber seal]

really doesnt feel like they were ready for multiplayer implementation yet in my experience in the last 2 weeks. Going through setting up my own server and doing fresh characters for 3rd time now. Just frustrating

[stoic ether]

unable to connect to servers...

[night ivy]

Hi guys, just wondering if there was a fix for not being able to join others servers? I am able to join some that I have found online but not able to join my friends nor host my own. It was working fine yesterday untill it booted my out of the server when loading out of a mine and havent been able to load back in since. I have tried hard rebooting my pc/network, using command prompts, network code prefferences, and a bunch of other stuff so far over the past 2 hours with no results

I have found that I get stuck on a loading screen for 20 mins consistently then get booted to a blank menu screen if I join off of recent servers/steam, and if I input the ip/port I load for about 30ish secs then get but back to the main menu with no error messages

[grand jungle]

what do you do when some one is using racial slurs?

[brisk citrus]

Any dedicated server support here, like from Nitrado? My game crashes when I try to connect on a new server I just bought and can't figure out why.

[naive token]

The first character files are still there but the world / main menu wont load for some reason

[fallow dagger]

So ive been trying to play with my family, and people keep getting sent back to the homescreen randomly on multiple occasions while playing. Anyone got a fix for this?

[snow iron]

a lot of people having the same issue @mods need to address this with devs

[brisk citrus]

Are you on a dedicated server with Nitrado? I just bought one and getting the exact same thing

[dawn canopy]

so i get the inf loading screen whenever i try to connect to a server. Only solo works. Sigh

[snow iron]

So, a fix that has so far been working for me and has worked for a few others is downloaded and connecting Cloudflare WARP

[polar moon]

Im having really good luck with Gportal hosting, but just today, It seems like resources, because they don't despawn, are causing some minor performance issues.

[snow iron]

DNS override creates a more stable connection for windrose servers reportedly

[fallow dagger]

No im just hosting my own and they join me

[naive token]

Found a fix, deleted the character file of the 2nd character that i tried to duplicated and prior to that i ensured that cloud save was disabled on my steam in this case so that when i launched the game it didn't redownload the 2nd (corrupt) character file and tried to read /load it. (re-enabled cloud save after the game launched and ensured that the 2nd (corrupt) character file wasn't re-downloaded)

[hybrid summit]

so i had the issue with game inifinite loading when starting up game from save and then it would crash. i thought thiwas fixed when i did the delete, backup, and shutoff cloud backup. But now even with cloud off, it is doing the same thing and 'hanging' until it crashes. Oddly enough I can boot and for a bit others can join the server fine, but i cant. Any resolutions to this?

[steady copper]

is there resources on opening ports just to host the game, i just want to play the game with a friend we just bought it and we cant use the normal hosting in game, is it possible to get a small session just for me and my buddy without paying for a server...?

[hybrid summit]

tried validating file, and clearing download cache, still doing it. I basically hear the game on loading screen, but is frozen there then crashes.

[raw raptor]

stuck on infinite load after 50 hours gameplay and coop world hosted between two pcs, any advice?

[dense axle]

Any backups?

[raw raptor]

i followed forum advice

deleted save profile folder in r5

reenabled cloud

[spark lotus]

bumping cause i had the same issue

[raw raptor]

have any devs acknowledged?

[raw raptor]

I'm beginning to feel like it is. Lost 50 hours here.

[spark lotus]

not to me directly but i just messaged like a bit ago

[dreamy scaffold]

hubby cant get the game to load hes tried everything he know to do

[vast moon]

I give up, man...

My save file is screwed. Again...

I play at a LAN house that barely meets the minimum requirements to run the game... Then I'm at a friend's house who has a PC with the recommended specs and the game won't even open... Stuck for 1 hour 30 minutes on the game's start screen...

I bet if I go to the LAN house the save file there is gone too

Gonna start only playing with a local save backed up on a flash drive

Because OMG bro....

Is there any other way I can load my save file onto another PC via the Steam cloud without causing problems?

[lime topaz]

Yes but not via the Steam Cloud, because that's what causes the file corruption to begin with.

[pale sequoia]

Hi. In the bottom section with the 8 selectable slots where the weapons are, would it be possible to switch between them using the mouse scroll wheel instead of only using buttons?

[lime topaz]

The game by default uses UPnP NAT punch / p2p protocol for when you host a session from within the game itself.

The dedicated server is entirely optional.

[lime topaz]

Use the feedback button in the game's pause menu since the functionality isn't implemented.

[sudden pagoda]

So idk what happened recently, but our nitrado server today has started kicking us all out every 20 minutes or so, then restarting itself?

[still trail]

I've seen quite a few people talking about Nitrado issues today

[minor aurora]

Yeah, I've had several disconnects from my Nitrado server today... it hasn't been restarting itself but it has been kicking me an unusual amount.

[twin rampart]

Is there anyway to disable shared inventory space for a co-op server?

[minor aurora]

No, but a work around is keeping items you dont want used by others on one of your inactive ships

[pale gull]

Hey guys, I have an 8 gb server on a server host, have also tried another host, but my server right now is just horribly laggy on water, both while driving the boat and while fighting. I have like 6 of us playing usually. Has anyone had any success with 6-7 people on a server or is it always laggy?

[wind briar]

Everytime time i try join my friends dedicated server, it takes me to a loading screen and then back to the main menu.

[vast moon]

So I have to play only with local saves and not use Steam cloud in Windrose?

[lime topaz]

Yes for the time being.

You can still transfer files between systems manually.

[open maple]

Anyone else dealing with the cloud save problem leaving you at an Infinite loading screen?

I’ve tried the fix that was suggested by the devs but still not working.

[vast moon]

So in that case, I have to delete my current save folder, start a new one with Steam Cloud disabled, and keep a copy of the local save folder on a USB drive, correct?

[lime topaz]

If all your backups are corrupted ? Yea 😕
Though it is worth trying to see if some backups will work first.

[vast moon]

I only have one save file with about 45 hours of gameplay (my first one had 5 hours and it got corrupted too).

I don't have any other backups... I didn't save my current one on a flash drive. I could try to get the folder from my current save file on the computer at the internet cafe and save it to a flash drive to see if it still works with the steam cloud service offline.

[flat narwhal]

Ну что разработчики , довольны , отказали мне в возврате игры , за 4 часа попыток играть с друзьями , на почту [e-mail] не отвечаете уже неделю. Бедолагу обокрали на 15$ , что же не так с вами?

[wind briar]

Everytime time i try join my friends dedicated server, it takes me to a loading screen and then back to the main menu.

[flat narwhal]

Yes, this is a crooked game, support has not been responding to my email for a week.

[lime topaz]

Since the last patch a week or 2 ago the game creates backups by default.

[still trail]

yeah that's a known issue, they're working on those

they did add direct connection as a way around some of the issues for now

[hot valley]

what’s the direct connection?

[still trail]

you can choose a port and connect via IP instead of invites, the host sets it up

[wind briar]

when i use that it still doesnt work

[still trail]

but windrose severs definitely take a bit of technical experience this early in.

[hot valley]

ah okay. so rn the only way to play co-op is through dedicated server right

[still trail]

hence 'some'. doesn't fix everything, but does help with some port issues.

[glass jacinth]

i still can not get to the menu stuck loading wish it was fixed

[still trail]

no, there's non-dedi, you can host from the client

[heavy geode]

I created a server on Nitrado, but when I try to connect to the server, it stays on the loading screen and the game never starts.

The client environment is Steam on Windows 11.

The Nitrado server log shows the following error:

Error on BL P2P connecting

There are also messages indicating that the account was disconnected and that the P2P connection was closed/destroyed.

It seems possible that P2P communication is not working properly.
Is there any way to resolve this issue?

Something about the game constantly writing data, corrupting or potentially breaking peoples SSDs, is this BS or factual?

[empty vortex]

Breaking is a stretch - it’s not good for the drive by any means though, the usage is very excessive.

[split acorn]

open task manager on a second monitor, play game and watch C partion usage on task manager ... draw your self conclusion

[next hill]

well i suppose we'll soon find out, not sure how to check all that, i'd expect its BS otherwise the thousands and thousands of people playing would be having problems

[still trail]

check it yourself, get hwinfo64 and check writes before and after

compare to your ssd tbw

to answer the question in the blurb "IF it's an issue, would it impact all SSDs", yes. all SSDs have a TBW (though it's just an estimate) and their life is measured in writes.

as to whether it is, not sure, would have to check a session

[split acorn]

Skip is not a BS is a fact game it constant write on ssd (primary partition were you have SO install) that for not proper SSD what are not ment to be used on heavy load it is bad ... yes ssd they will not brake in few day but it kill from edurance ... or if is not a proper ssd crap thing can happen

[still trail]

glancing at mine though I'm not seeing anything super concerning

[lime topaz]

People's SSD were broken before they even booted the game, so it's the last thing they tried before they noticed is all.

[still trail]

TBW is measured in something like 3-600 TB usually, though it does depend on the drive

[split acorn]

yes that is endurance > estimate life time BUT that not means is just a number it show if that ssd is for heavy load or not to ... aka a ssd with 120-200 twb is for office usage not for gaming ...

[still trail]

even 1-200 TBW will usually outlast the MTTF for the average user

even for heavy gaming

[split acorn]

nop they will get broke before that max TWB hit max capacity because they are not meant / build for that purpes ...

[still trail]

wrong drive, sec

there. running 18hr and this is what I see:

even if that's all Windrose, that's 80gb in 18hr, which is a full day. that's 7500 days, or 20 years of the game running to use up my drive

[still trail]

^

not an issue, pretty sure!

[split acorn]

well i will make a joke get a light car and goo with that off road ... it will goo yes ... it can brake yes ... some thing are build to be use in some condition some on other ... 🙂

[lime topaz]

Brother the cells are literally made for storing data.

[still trail]

I wasn't going to say it, but... yeah, someone fell for the marketing

[lime topaz]

The constant load is a non-issue whether you have a consumer QLC SSD product or an entreprise SLC SSD, beside the SSDs use SLC caching anyway.

[still trail]

right, it has nothing to do with endurance but the caching, dram, and/or it being nvme and using hmb are the biggest differences

the rest is just overallocation or 'spare' to allow it to live longer

that impacts life more than anything else, and I've found cheap drives with crazy good endurance, and expensive 'gaming' ones with less

[lime topaz]

There are SSD's that will overheat if put underneath the GPU PCIe slot, but that's not a game problem.
There are SSDs that are on the bring of collapsing, adnd that is yet again not a game problem.

People claim "the game killed my xyz HW" for ages. They did the same for the Intel Raptor Lake debacle in UE5 games, they did the same for the RTX3000 debacle in New World.

[still trail]

often it's just something with heavy load exposing an underlying issue you weren't aware of until something stressed it enough to show the cracks

[next hill]

yeah i just wanted to make sure, a friend was asking, hes interested in playing. but as i told ihm, all these many.. many thousands of people playing, this long some one would've noticed.

[still trail]

that said, on topic, that does NOT appear to be the case here

80gb in one day of writes sounds like a lot... but it's not.

that's 3750 days for a 300TBW drive, which is longer than most drives are rated for anyways

[still trail]

someone non-technical noticed a big number and it freaked him out, it sounds like

not realizing the SSDs regularly deal with such numbers

[shrewd swallow]

It's all just hysteria at the end of the day.

[next hill]

same kinda issue i had with some people and their new Itnel CPU's hitting huge temps, the new ones or atl east from a year or 2 back run very very high.

But yeah im convinced this isn't an issue, as i said this many people, you'd notice it, people would be posting left and right

[still trail]

yep! that was even funnier since the CPUs are built to TRY and push themselves until they get to certain temps, then throttle back

they got that hot because intel set them up to TRY to do so, to squeeze out the power they could from it

given a heavy enough load, they're doing it on purpose 😄

[next hill]

yep!

[shrewd swallow]

The bigger issue seems more to do with the way Steam Cloud functions and the size of the save folder that is regularly updated too.

Considering what I've pushed the game through, never had an issue with my save, but I also just keep Steam Cloud off as a whole.

Have had it screw up far too often in the past.

[still trail]

in normal use cases, pc wear is slower than pc obsolescence

[still trail]

honestly, less that and more the way their db is set up in a file structure

really should be a single file

[next hill]

yeah i havent had a reason or seen a point in overclocking in like 10+ years. like.. I can run a title say.. KCD 2 smooth on 1440p with a 5700x then why do i need a 9000 series right now?

the leap forward for CPU need isn't really there yet from what i can tell.

[shrewd swallow]

Haven't checked it (as Steam Cloud is off for me), but is Steam Cloud also attempting to backup the "_Backup" folder?

[still trail]

I undervolt mine, it's a tiny ITX so cooling is an issue

and it's a 5600/3060TI and I haven't felt any need to upgrade

[still trail]

no

[next hill]

i i got 7800XT but i did that when i went to 1440p

use to have a 3060TI got it for Cyberpunk 😄

[still trail]

the VDF is in the SaveProfile, the backup is literally a copy of that folder

R5/Saved/SavedProfiles has ### and ###_Backups, and the ### folder for your steam profile is what contains the .vdf

so the backups is completely outside that

[shrewd swallow]

Interesting then.
Got me wondering after seeing some people say even the files in that folder were corrupt for them.

[still trail]

well, the game doesn't test corruption before backing up, so that can still happen

[shrewd swallow]

True, but the sheer number of them.

That folder currently is sitting at ~2GB for me.

[still trail]

while true, the backup system is new

guessing a lot of people had corruption before or right after it was added?

[shrewd swallow]

Possible, and if things were corrupt while they stayed on a dedicated server, never once actually "exiting", never really would have noticed anything being "wrong".

[still trail]

right, especially if the corruption impacted joining, like so many seem to

I have my dedi set to do a regular tarball of the saves so I've had backups since day one... but haven't had to use them, thankfully

[lime topaz]

Consider the devs would've noticed long before anybody else, whabam, a literal non-issue.

people think they have enterprise SSDs or something

[shrewd swallow]

I stay solo/offline, though only did co-op briefly to test their FPS.

I did have to restore a player-save of mine, but only due to something of my own doing, lol.
-# Quest progression issue, not a "corruption" issue

So been able to avoid the game itself "breaking" my saves.

[glass jacinth]

wish that was the case for me i can not get to the menu

[still trail]

like launch?

[shrewd swallow]

Have had some odd behavior regarding "quit to main menu", though it's not something I can actually tie to the game. Would have to see if it can be replicated without mods though.

[glass jacinth]

yea bud

[still trail]

have you tried moving your saves out entirely and launching, just to check if they're the issue?

[glass jacinth]

tried it all bud

[still trail]

like cut and paste the entire %localappdata%/R5 folder

guessing a hardware or compatibility issue then

[glass jacinth]

i had 113hrs an out the blue just stop loading

[still trail]

oh wait - it WAS working before?

[glass jacinth]

yea bud

[still trail]

yeah I'd take your entire %localappdata%/R5 folder, move it out, uninstall and reinstall

[glass jacinth]

i`v done all that bud

[still trail]

well there's only three places it'd store information. app data, registry, and game file location.

if it worked and stopped, and nothing else changed, the issue is in one of those

[shrewd swallow]

Even without any saves, you're not getting to the main menu?
Made sure Steam wasn't trying to "recover" anything?

[glass jacinth]

yep

just stuck on loading all the time

[shrewd swallow]

Any driver or OS updates?

Really just any change at all on your computer.

[glass jacinth]

i do the steam cloud thing an still no go

my pc all updated an drivers

[shrewd swallow]

I was more meaning that if you updated and then issues started happening.

[glass jacinth]

oh sorry no

[still trail]

sometimes newer drivers can break things

[shrewd swallow]

I'm still on an old Nvidia driver from before they did a ton of "vibe coding" with their AI slop.

[still trail]

but I just dug throgh the registry and they don't store anything important there that I see, it's all just windows and steam entries

pretty sure anything relevant is in the app data or steam folder

if you wiped both and it's still not launching from zero, something changed.

[still trail]

I update mine when something new won't run, other than that I tend to leave them alone

[shrewd swallow]

I don't really do too many new games, think newest (other than Windrose) is that Expanse game.
It does throw a warning ("This driver is etcetcetc"), but literally no issues in it even then.

[still trail]

my best friend loves to hop games so... 🤣

I get pulled along to what she wants to play. that's why I'm here in the first place.

[shrewd swallow]

lol

[tired valve]

sooo i quit to main menue like normally closed my game and restarted my computer because my mic in discord was not working when i restarted my game it stated there was a conflict in my cloud save and local save and i had to choose one to start the game only thing is both files where old from yesterday not today not that it mattered because when i tried to load in next it just kept me stuck in this forever loading screen though many attempts to fix it all i could do was get the game to a fresh start completly erassing my 80 hours of progress..... ummmm is there anything i can do because im going to be honest i might be done then lol

[still trail]

%localappdata%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles has backups

you can go into the backups, pick a date/time, copy the folder and file in there, then go to your profile/RocksDB inside SaveProfiles and delete that/paste it there.

[tired valve]

yeah so i did that and the only thing i could do was get back to the charecter creation menu something in either the player or world is messed up but one wont work without the other or simply starts me off new again

looks like i lost everything

[shrewd swallow]

There's backups to your character and your world separately in there.
Should be able to take any of them and swap them around.
