[shrewd swallow]

Disable Steam's Cloud Sync so it doesn't do anything stupid again and just do a full swap of any one of the full folders in the _backups section

[tired valve]

yeah i disabled the cloud and tried to use the backups but the only too outcomes ive reacher are either forever loading screen or new charecter

exuses my spelling ive been at this for hours

anyone want to help me get a decent load out back 😭

[shrewd swallow]

I can, just going to fully disable my mods and check if things still load properly.

Looks like things still work, so yeah, you can take literally anything from any box. Will DM server PW.

[formal loom]

Hey, is anyone else unable to launch the game on Boosteroid and GeForce Now because of an update?

Did I miss any info, and if it’s maintenance, how long is it expected to last?

[undone mirage]

AFAIK there was no update 😕

[formal loom]

Geforce Now got resurrected but Boosteroid is still dead.

[bleak scarab]

Good morning Sailors, i would like to transfer my already played self hosted multiplayer savegame to a new rented dedicated server, anyone who did this already ? which data do i need to transfer to get it working properly ?

[lime topaz]

Pinned messages here.

[vast moon]

Where would that be? In the local folders?

[native plank]

upon loading the save game i just get sent back to the main menu anyone have suggestions

[dark tundra]

This is secound time ive come across now where closing the game does not fully close. It still runs in backround and steam says its running even though i only see my desktop

[dull carbon]

I can't find any connection service, can anyone help?

[lime topaz]

Yes it should be somewhere in the local save directory.

[ocean lintel]

Hi All! Does anybody knows if its me or there are some server issues? Neither can i create a server to play with friend nor join his. When i reinstall the game i can once enter my server but after 5mins it just disconnetcs ...

[frozen moss]

Hi. I have a problem with the game, namely I played the game the day before yesterday on my second PC and today I wanted to play again on my main PC. But now the game somehow takes a very long time to load, and when I start it, I'm stuck on the initial loading screen. Can anyone help me?

[dull carbon]

the same with me

[daring lodge]

Ahoy Kraken Express! I love the game, but my voyage is getting hindered by a small anchor. I’m a disabled player and I find it very hard to use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom the map. Would it be possible to add keyboard keybindings for map zooming in a future update? It would make the seas much easier to navigate for me. Fair winds!

[crystal gorge]

Hi, i have friends on another server, they sent me an invite code but says it cant find server??...any help would be good, thanks @azure lichen

[robust river]

any info when the maintenance on Boosteroid will end ?

[ocean lintel]

did you solve it somehow?

[hasty dock]

after loading the game and i get to the opening screen to click play my game just turns off after 30 seconds ? any idea ?

ive checked windows for updates, nvidia for updates and verified the files all seems good but the game still closes 30-60 seconds in

[dull carbon]

No

[jovial marsh]

Does anybody else have an issue where DLSS/FSR don't boost fps at all no matter if it's quality or ultra performance? I see that visually the game changes, but fps is still 30. I have to use frame gen to get 60.

[tight parcel]

u got an answer for that? 😄

[distant night]

Windrose corrupt disk I have verified files cleared cache repaired library nothing will work

[still trail]

Do you have vsync on?

Vsync will set your framerate to a multiple of the monitor's

So if your monitor is 120 it'll force 240, 120, 60, 30, 15, etc.

[shrewd swallow]

If you setup the game within the NV Control Panel, a global setting may be affecting it which can screw with that at times.

[jovial marsh]

I have 144Hz monitor, in the Windows settings I have 60 Hz set. VSync in the game is on. But.. I should have 60 then?) Disabling vsync doesn't change anything for me

[pallid crypt]

Hey I want to play with friends and I cannot open a sever any reasone why

[shadow tide]

hey i cant join servers. No local Servers und neither dedicated ones. Via IP i will come back to main menu and via direct i have an endless loading screen

[still trail]

and @tight parcel go to %localappdata%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles, your profile, \RocksDB\0.10.0\Worlds and copy the world you want. in the server go to R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\Default\RocksDB\0.10.0\Worlds and paste. make a note of the folder name. then go to the R5 folder just above root in the server and set the world ID in ServerDescription.json to that folder name.

[winter saddle]

So I found out the reason is 3478 is blocked

[pallid crypt]

?

[still trail]

Teams uses that port

[winter saddle]

Do you know how to disable it?

[still trail]

there's no reason anyone should block it?

disable the port?

for this game it's used for turn/stun I believe.

and that's not just randomly picked, it's a part of the RFC for turn/stun.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5766

[winter saddle]

Well it was saying that if it's blocked it's not going to let me play on a dedicated server

[still trail]

yeah you want to unblock those, who is blocking them and why?

like I said above, it's used for Teams, not to mention all turn/stun, so there's no reason it should be blocked.

[winter saddle]

Would my isp be blocking it?

[shrewd swallow]

Might be your AV.

[winter saddle]

Sorry what's AV?

[shrewd swallow]

AntiVirus

They often are coupled with a firewall.

[winter saddle]

Oh I never installed one so just the default one

[still trail]

your ISP should NOT be blocking that one, but I can't say if they are or aren't.

but if they were, they'd break a lot for a lot of people

[winter saddle]

Heard 😄 well now I just have to find out how to unblock it and it should fix the problem 😄

[dark osprey]

hi, when I try to join my friend local host serveur, I have an infinite loading screen (doesnt happen when playing in solo on my own computer). did anyone else got the issue and know how to sole it?

[hardy locust]

Im stuck in loading page. Cannot access

if i delete the saved profile and create a new profile, it works. If I use my saved date, stuck in loading. How can I play with my saved data?

[tight parcel]

appreciated, is it common that the already explored map is not included? Like we have to explore again and set fast travel points?

[wheat wind]

Probably the files are corrupted cause of the steam cloud saves. They recommended to turn off the steam cloud. Somehow it works but the disadvantage is you can only play 1:1 ratio

[dark osprey]

already done

[wheat wind]

Might the devs will help on that one

[shrewd swallow]

There is this:
https://nexusmods.com/windrose/mods/158

I have never used it, but the posts on its page look promising.

[still trail]

My map has always remained explored. Verify that it's got the the world listed properly in your settings file.

No map likely means it's not your old world

[winter saddle]

Hey fade it's saying something about sudo do you know what that is?

PS C:\Users\vince> sudo ufw allow 3478/udp
Sudo is disabled on this machine. To enable it, go to the Developer Settings page in the Settings app
PS C:\Users\vince> sudo ufw allow 3478/tcp

[tight parcel]

ya it switched back just saw it 😄

[digital wren]

having an issue connecting to a nitrado sever my mate has created, when we connect to the server the game crashes

[still trail]

Sudo is Linux equivalent of running as admin in Windows basically

That user is not allowed to sudo, which is normal, your server doesn't need it. Swap to an admin for things like the ports

[winter saddle]

Yeah I'm dumb don't look at me

[still trail]

No you good, Linux has a lot of unusual terms lol. Often silly or weirdly named.

[willow dirge]

Does someone have the issue with the inf loadingscreen and in the end it shows me quit game

[brisk citrus]

Anyone experience game closing or returning to main menu when trying to connect to a dedicated server on Nitrado?

[winter saddle]

Well i'm still wokring on it 😄

[tight parcel]

but regardless of switching it to the right one again, it still remains not explored 😄

[still trail]

Ok so check again. If you changed it while it's running, or the world doesn't exist, it'll swap it and create a new one instead

I'm guessing your folder is missing or didn't have everything, or the world id is being mistyped, maybe missing a letter, in the settings

[twin parrot]

i cant block any more??? how do i fix that

[still trail]

And make sure you retain the format, quotes and everything.

[tight parcel]

hmmm i stopped it and had it one by one, thats whats weird to me

I'm restarting the game, maybe helpful

[brisk citrus]

Anyone?

[winter saddle]

Well I just logged in!!! I'm never logging out!! haha

[still trail]

Sick! Have fun. 😄 and hope to never see you (in this channel :P) again!

[brisk citrus]

Same thing here. Already verified files and restarted the server multiple times.

I was in chat support last night for over an hour waiting, fell asleep and was told that it was on my end to verify my files. Even though it's happening to my friend's side as well.

[tight parcel]

i'm wondering why it always sets the world back to default, even though i changed it like described, wildin

[still trail]

If it can't load the settings or the world, it makes a new one

[subtle thistle]

it may be you ISP blocking not anything you can do but call them

[still trail]

I think he means game combat

[brisk citrus]

I just want to be able to connect to my dedicated server that I paid for.

[tight parcel]

yah i thought so, but i've double checked, everything is set like it should 😄 But unfortunately nothing is discovered. When I'm going to an undiscovered place it shows i've been there

not a biggie, just confusing to me

[still trail]

That is normal, your poi completion is stored in your char, not world

[subtle thistle]

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1495848830510436354
go run the chest and it will tell you what is block and what is not

[still trail]

EVERY world you go to will show that. Because xp is tied to poi completion

[brisk citrus]

umm, what?

[tight parcel]

makes sense, okok 🙂

[subtle thistle]

as this game is depending on being server heavy and even new college kids i get in networking has a hard time grasping it i made a powershell script that you can run and it checks all the ports to see if its open and also if your ISP is blocking your connection
https://github.com/1r0nch3f/Windrose-Captain-Chest

[twin parrot]

what is ISP

[still trail]

Internet provider

[subtle thistle]

internet service provider

there is a list on the git repo that are known to block p2p connections

[twin parrot]

what does that have to do that i cant block attacks in the game>

[limpid ingot]

i was playing several days on my friend's non-dedicated server (by invite code), then all of a sudden now when i try to join it kicks me back to the main menu, no error. we've tried moving the save to a different host, no difference. we didn't change any network or computer settings.

i tried reinstalling the game completely, then it worked once, now it's broken again. verifying all files does not help.

[still trail]

It didn't. Misunderstanding!

Check your keybinds first

[subtle thistle]

i thought you were talking about server blocking as this IS the TECH SUPPORT not game support

[twin parrot]

it works

just had to restart the game

lol

[brisk citrus]

I get what you are saying now, and not to flex but I'm a network administrator and assure you that there isn't anything blocking as I've performed trace routes already. Checked the server logs on Nitrado and it shows my connect attempt there. Also, a friend of mine has the same issue and is on a totally different ISP than me.

Not to mention, someone else mentioned here he's having the exact problem.

[limpid ingot]

i also can't start a server of my own, same issue, but single player works. i'm on the same network as another person who has no problems joining the server.

[subtle thistle]

If the server logs on Nitrado show your connect attempt arriving, that means TCP made it through, but Windrose uses UDP/3478 STUN/TURN for the actual gameplay session. A successful connect attempt in the log doesn't mean the session traffic is getting through. Have you packet-captured the UDP side?

[late turtle]

Hello, I have a problem with the game. See the screen.

[subtle thistle]

verify your files on steam

[flat narwhal]

Help

[late turtle]

this didn't help, it still gives this error

[subtle thistle]

you might have a anti virus or windows defender blocking try and run steam as admin

[iron ridge]

Well
=== Error on Server ====================================================================================
ServerHostName ''

Suggests that there is no name for the server which could be an issue check that.

[flat narwhal]

That's not the point, I and other people have tried to create it, but I'm the one who can't log in, and everything works for my friends.

[iron ridge]

You posted a log with no other details. So how was I to know that you are the only one that can not connect if you did not say it?

[dull jay]

HOW I GET PORT NUMBER ?

[iron ridge]

So who is hosting this game? Is it a server or host through the game?

[flat narwhal]

This is a shortened version of the logs, as discord has shortened the text.

[iron ridge]

Ask the server owner what Port they are using.

[dull jay]

i just buy nitrado server but nothing shows port number

only ip

[orchid pawn]

Anyone have a fix to not being able to connect, like it still loads for a good amount of time, sometimes it connects for a split second and then boots to main menu?

Okay well can not help you at all without the answers to the questions. THat is if I can even help at all. Try looking in #1493364524705775657 for answers

[iron ridge]

If they are using the Default port you may not need to enter it, should be entered automatically. Have you tried just the IP to connect? Otherwise look in the server guide in #1298583059402063926 to find the default port

[flat narwhal]

What is the problem with responding to my letter, in which I described everything in detail and where there is the full text of the logs. My letter has been unanswered for 6 days now. [e-mail]

BUMP, same issue, was able to join my friend yesterday

[iron ridge]

I am a player, I have no access to anything you sent the devs. I am attempting to help you figure this out.

[tardy blaze]

guys i have Windrose Stuck on Loading Screen for long, how can I fix it ?

[iron ridge]

Read 3 posts above answered that for someone else.

[tardy blaze]

can you mention me on it ?

[iron ridge]

#🚧│tech-support message

To all that are having issues loading in. Sent you all to a channel for help going one step further. There is a Dev response in this. https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1496297777586507857

Good luck.

[flat narwhal]

I have a problem with the NAT connection, but I don't know how to solve it.

[small spade]

I still cannot connect to my dedicated server. I say we give them a week to solve this and if they don't let the negative reviews start

[iron ridge]

Well neither do I. Gave you all the information I have. Linked everyone to a Dev response to the issue. I am just a PLAYER like you I have no other ability here. If you can not except the help provided nothing I can do but no need to keep bothering me if what I have given you is not enough for you. Do the work and figure it out.

[acoustic needle]

Hi, after reinstalling game on Steam Deck my save with over 15hours in just vanished on both PC and Steam Deck. Is there any way to get it back?

[iron ridge]

I say READ the conversation as the solutions are out there but if you do not want to do more than be toxic then I say we vote to ban you. Geez kid just got done sharing with everyone. I volunteer my time to help you but seems that if I can not do it for you that is not enough. So I will remove this channel and carry on. Sunday is a day of rest I am done with being annoyed. Good Luck.

[signal orbit]

I have changed the ServerDescription file to match my local save worldID also uploaded the whole folder into the proper spot and whenever I boot the server up its not matching my local save and also multiple different world folders keep being created and the serverdesciption folders gets changed again

[late turtle]

I turned off Defender, ran it as administrator.
The game started and was loading into the server for about 7 minutes (I have bad internet).
After loading, I just get a black screen and nothing happens.
Is that normal, or do you know what could be causing it?

[iron ridge]

Save may be locally on the PC not sure. Could check the Dedicated Server Guide in #1298583059402063926 there you find how to move a save. That will tell you what to look for. Also I would pick a device and disable Steam Cloud for now. Look here #🚧│tech-support message
Dev response to others having issues. Good luck

[small spade]

Not being toxic at all but being realistic. I can connect to a dedicated server hosted on literally any other game I have without having to do anything special. If the game does not work as advertised then they should expect negative reviews.

[flat narwhal]

In order to play the game, you need dancing with a tambourine.

[subtle thistle]

yeah if the internet is bad then its prob timing out due to it communicates with the server even when you playing solo

[cobalt zephyr]

Hi, I just have to ask about the SSD "problem." Is it just fear-mongering? Does the problem actually exist? Yes, it's an EA game. It's understandable if it has issues. But I'd really like to know if it's real and if I'm putting a massive strain on my hard drive or not. Yes, of course I can just skip the game and/or return it (because I'm about to), but it's a really great game and I don't know what the right way to deal with it is.

[still trail]

I checked last night

18hr, was playing the game for maybe 6-8 of them, 80gb of writes

high? yes. nearly enough to harm an ssd? no.

[rugged shore]

Guys anybody know if they fixed the multiplayer issue with connecting to same server?

[still trail]

if I ran this game 8hr a day, it would take 7,500 days to use up my TBW

20 years

[still trail]

what do you mean?

server on same network? if so, that's always worked with a minor config file change

[rugged shore]

Not on same network..

He was playing on my server, but then suddely like 1,5 weeks ago he couldnt join anymore.

[still trail]

can't connect to that specific server only? if so, haven't seen a fix for that

[cobalt zephyr]

Ah, okay, because I wanted a fact-based answer like yours. Thanks.

I'm a fan of the game myself, but somehow I've either read that the game kills your hard drive, or fanboys claiming that the error doesn't even exist. Thank you so much, that's reassuring.

[still trail]

you can check for yourself

get a program like hwinfo64 that reads your smart data, check before and after a session, subtract to get your GB written in a day

then check your drive's fact sheet to see how much TBW it has, and divide to get the days it'd last lol

[sly ocean]

has anyone seen ship knots jumping down and stuttering while sailing?

[still trail]

(and remember people posting on youtube and whatnot are not there for facts, they are there to get clicks and money)

[cobalt zephyr]

Yes, I tried everything, but afterwards it doesn't write anything to the SSD it's installed on 😄 I only see some writing progress on my C drive

[still trail]

yes, your world and char are stored in %localappdata% so it WILL be writes to C

or, better said, writes to your windows drive

[cobalt zephyr]

Yeah, that's why I haven't googled it yet 😄 I thought Discord would be a better place to start.

[cobalt zephyr]

Yes, and then I'd have to differentiate where the writing processes come from. And since I'm nowhere near at the level to be able to do that, I thought I'd better ask here. I didn't mean to make a big deal out of it or anything. I just wanted to reassure a friend who's already racked up a good 70 hours of gameplay with me 😄 Thx again and have a nice day

[sudden arrow]

we get it all the time now 🙁

[median mason]

hello! My friend is hoting a dedicated server and he can't join the game himself. He can join us if we host(non-dedicated)

[still trail]

his server is on the same network as he is?

[median mason]

Yes

[still trail]

have him change P2pProxyAddress from 127.0.0.1 to the internal server ip in ServerDescription.json

[median mason]

In the game files?

[still trail]

yes, in the R5 folder

he can get the server ip with ipconfig in windows or ip addr show in linux

[sudden arrow]

anyone else that is having that issue with the kts chaning and ship rubberbanding

[languid bobcat]

Does anyone know when the game will be patched for Boosteroid?

Boosteroid says it's game related & it's being worked on by devs, but not sure on how this stuff usually works?

[twin plume]

Hi,
I'm the freind in question.
Do I change the address to the local IP, or the public?

[still trail]

local

see above

[twin plume]

Still not connecting

Do I have to connect via this direct IP then

[still trail]

shouldn't have to, I'm hosting mine via the invite method, but it can't hurt to try

wondering if it's a feature on your router blocking it, then, or some such

[twin plume]

I host different steam servers on that machine and all work

right now windrose is the only one running

[still trail]

right, but this one uses some weird networking tbh.

[twin plume]

Strange thing is, that my friends from outside can connect.

[still trail]

yep. I had that same issue. swapping the p2pproxyaddress fixed it for me.

could def try the direct connection. don't touch the proxy or address for it, just set port and change use to true

[lavish axle]

what is with the directconnectionproxy? would that help?

[still trail]

and forward the port, ofc

it may. depends on what the underlying issue is.

[twin plume]

Just to be sure - we are talking of a dedi server hosted on a different maching, but within the same network

[still trail]

yep

those IPs I put above? the x.x.x.70 is my machine and the x.x.x.10 is my server

[twin plume]

Are we talking ServerDescription on my game machine or der servber?

[still trail]

server

[twin plume]

Ah

[still trail]

that file is referenced only when starting up a hosted server, dedi or non.

[lavish axle]

you are amazing sir

[still trail]

working now?

[lavish axle]

(I am the guy abvle to join from outside 😉 )

not yet working wip

but it makes a lot of sense

[twin plume]

on it

[still trail]

honestly it took me a second to find it, since their own files say to never edit that field 🤣

but considering what it was set to, figured it was a loopback of some sort, so figured can't hurt to be explicit in the declaration

[lavish axle]

now we have a restart loop

[weary gull]

friend has a server hosted on his machine. Every time i try to join i load in for half a second then get kicked back to menu...cant anyone help pls ? it was working fine for hours until i restarted the game

[lavish axle]

of the server

[still trail]

the server is restarting? and x.x.x.250 is the server, not your client machine?

weird, that's exactly what I have

ignore the empty invite and pw, ofc, removed them for this but:

do you have ipv6 disabled by chance?

they have mentioned that being an issue, so I turned it off on my machine before even setting it up originally

[twin plume]

No

[still trail]

not sure if that's related at all but that's the only other thing I did to set it up. disabled ipv6 and set the ip in the proxyaddress

everything else worked out of the box

[twin plume]

The server is running in a docker container - might thát be a difference to your setup?

[still trail]

possible, mine is pure bare metal

before we go any further, what version of wine are you using?

[gray cape]

check if you are in proxmox the cpu choise are HOST

[still trail]

if earlier version, once all done here, upgrade to wine 11 or you will run into an error later - there's a function it calls once buildings exceed a certain point, that wine 9.0 fails at. ran into that a few days in.

my server ran fine until it didn't because of that lol

[twin plume]

The docker image uses proton, not wine

[still trail]

proton is wine underneath, so same difference

just make sure it's a newer wine version that's used for that proton

[twin plume]

I set the proxy address via the docker env now and that works

Let's see if I can connect

[still trail]

sweet!

[fringe karma]

Cachy-Update broke my Windrose ;_;

[twin plume]

Still no connection.

[fringe karma]

Anyone know if the devs will work on linux improvements?

[still trail]

that's the turn/stun port, hm

[still trail]

they've mentioned a linux binary but no timeframe on it

[fringe karma]

it's something and I gladly take it :), was working before until a update from my distro broke it :/

[still trail]

interesting. yeah that's the price of linux, definitely got to get in the weeds sometimes to get stuff working

honestly docker is nice but that's one reason I do run all my stuff bare metal with screen/xvfb, it's what I know

[swift oasis]

Hi I cannot connect with direct ip to my hosted server (hosted on hetzner) When I try to connect to it, I allways get an error in the log file:

[still trail]

and sorry I can't help with that one, haven't run into any turn/stun errors or port issues at all on my end 🙁

it's clearly getting the request, idk why it has a problem with it

[twin plume]

Ah shoot, changed the wrong setting - with the correct one I#,m back at the restart loop

Trying to redownload now

[still trail]

any chance the log shows why it's restarting?

[twin plume]

It show's a lot - haven't been able to find the cause yet.
Let's see if the reinstall helps

It doesn't
giving up for now - maybe try later.

[sudden arrow]

So no1 else have the kts changing randomly and the ships rubberbanding ?

[still trail]

kk - feel free to poke me whenever. if nothing else for now maybe you could use a vpn to get in

since it's clearly a local network issue, cutting that out might let you play at least until then

[twin plume]

Thanks for the help anyway!

[sudden arrow]

server is running okay, no issues with other games on the same server but this suttering is making it basically unplayable at sea

[red flower]

I uninstalled and reinstalled the game on Steam and lost all character progress, forced to create a new character to rejoin my friend's hosted server. Is there a way to get that character progress back?

[full epoch]

Is anyone having issues joining a nitrado server? it worked fine lastnight. we played like 8 hours before bed but today it wont let me join. It acts like it will but then sends me back to menu. There was a server side update but no steam update.

[fervent pebble]

i contantly cant seem to get on - like have to try to login to the hosted server 4+ times.
friend playing is kicked out on the regualr also.

[dawn meadow]

Can anyone tell me if Nitrado is a good dedicated server provider or should I go for something else please ? I've seen many bad reviews of Nitrado even thought it is the official provider of the game...

[brisk citrus]

I can't connect to my server that I bought yesterday. Keeps taking me back to main menu or it closes my game currenly

[fervent pebble]

this seems to be a regular thing for peeps it seems.,,,

[quartz sandal]

Is just the Miami severs or all of them?

[brisk citrus]

I'm about to try and find a different provider... The lack of support is frustrating

[still trail]

Nitrado is like a lot of shared hosts, they have tons of machines and give you space on one, some are great and some are terrible, it's a roulette.

As for their support, they're about standard that I've seen, which isn't a good thing really.

especially combined with an EA game that has its own issues atm regarding dedi servers

[carmine acorn]

Has anyone heard any updated news about the Boosteroid issues?

[scenic dagger]

Any idea how to get Nitrado to let you upload your world folder and not just a single file?

[still trail]

Look for their ftp/sftp credentials

then find a program that lets you connect, I like winscp personally. connect then drag and drop.

[still trail]

I forgot to 'reply' on those lol

[limber sphinx]

Hi all, wondered if anyone has had or knows a fix for things not discovering? I mined some of the new metal in the swamp but its not popping on the descoveries page. I've beaten the 2nd boss already, tried changing worlds that someone else advised might resolve it but still not working. Any help would be appreciated.

[brisk citrus]

This would be game support, not tech.

[still trail]

I don't think the game would have deleted your %localappdata%/R5 folder on uninstall, try checking that for the backups

[limber sphinx]

No worries, will pop over that side

Hi, I'm having trouble connecting to the co-op game with my friend. I connect with the new character, go through the tutorial, and when I try to enter the game, it takes me back to the menu. Has anyone else experienced this? How did you solve it?

[potent kelp]

Experiencing the same issue, not solved yet.

[brisk citrus]

Same here.

[languid bobcat]

No, but it's very frustrating. The game is working on GeforceNow and on peoples PCs. Boosteroid are saying the Devs are fixing the issue. But the game is still down.

[swift dock]

Hello, I would need some help. I was playing with a friend via a hosted server, and I was connecting using an invite code he sent me. The game worked for about two hours, then I disconnected and haven’t been able to reconnect since. Either I get an infinite loading screen, or the entire game crashes without any error message.

Currently, when I launch the game, I can’t even get into the lobby anymore — it just stays on the loading screen the whole time, so I’m unable to play at all. I’ve tried updating drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling the game, repairing the game through Steam, and even solutions from the Steam Community like deleting or replacing folders in APPDATA… but nothing has helped.

[carmine acorn]

I feel you. I've been watching people play it on Twitch and finally figure out how to get it on Mac...and played for an hour and then maintenance...LoL Doh!

[languid bobcat]

Oh thats unlucky! Fingers crossed we get it back soon! Something to look forward to at least lol

[last sleet]

IF I GET A dedicated server i know i can copy my world and character over to it but can my friend copy his character over to it?

[mortal badger]

yeah i just bought a server and cant connect

[last sleet]

which provider?

[mortal badger]

nitrado

[last sleet]

rofl i literally was just about to click purshase, putting my CC info in......somethign wrong with nitrado that u cant connect?

[mortal badger]

yea me nor my friend can connect

[last sleet]

i read this in the dedicated server comments and i was worried about nitrado

""For nitrado users living in america:

Windrose quirks use Geo Localisation to display the servers you are able to see.
Nitrado is european company hosting servers in (Germany-Netherlands)

On the dashboard of Nitrado it might say location New-York but that is only the route used.
The machine itself is still in europe and its IP address is from there.

Although it works when you first install the server, once you restart it. It will correctly use it's european IP to display the server.

Windrose will not allow you to find a server from a different continent and that is why the server cannot be found.

Workaround as of now: Use VPN from Germany/Netherlands. Once the server is displayed you can turn off vpn and login.

Currently Testing: asking nitrado customer support to host my server from an american device.

Update: Nitrado can not give an American IP which makes sense. Therefor, i strongly suggest you do not use Nitrado FOR WINDROSE SPECIFICALLY if you live in america.""

[thorn radish]

is it normal for the servers to lag a little bit while fighting or sailing

[valid roost]

Are there any built-in methods to determine how many active connections are open to a dedicated server instance? Or simply if any client connections are online at all? I put together a Discord bot last night to allow friends to start/stop the server, so I can reduce resources while nobody is connected since it still pegs two of my cores at max when there's no connections. If not, I'll just scan for connections on the port, but it'd a be nice shortcut if there's something already there.

Could be that your saved data doesnt match with your friend's

client or server?

[zinc lodge]

as a server host

[patent socket]

Do you know how to fix this?

[thorn radish]

have your friend (not host owner/server) remove his cache

[thorn radish]

Could also be a version mismatch, check if you both have the same game version

[patent socket]

We have the same game version. How do we remove his cache? Sorry i'm a noob boomer

[red flower]

Sure did.

Hopefully. A whole weekend that I hoped I'd be playing. Guess I need to go actually outside and stuff. Fingers crossed!

has anyone else found a working method for this. after playing the game on a different computer i now have an infite loading screen and can only get it to work if i delete my data, when i resync it from the cloud the same problem happens again

[patent socket]

Thanks a lot my friend. But that would result in his character to be deleted right?

Your friend can make a backup maybe, I'm not 100% sure your character gets deleted.

Hey everyone Im trying to connect to my friends server but its loading for 10 20 minutes without letting me in and it gave me a black screen

So, my game crashed earlier and when I started Windrose back up, its in an endless loading screen, now i've tried about everything from validating my files, reinstalling the game, restarting my pc and restarting steam. nothing works except for uninstalling the game, deleting the R5 file and then reinstalling the game, then it works again except I don't have my old character, I have to start a new one

[real wedge]

Hi everyone, I really need some help. My game is stuck on the loading screen before the main menu. I’ve been trying to fix this for over an hour now, and it’s incredibly frustrating because I have 10 hours of progress that I can’t access anymore.

What I’ve tried so far:

• Verified integrity of game files on Steam.

• Disabled Steam Cloud & cleared Steam Cache.

• Reinstalled the game and used the -dx12 launch command.

• tried to "re-save" the save profiles.

The game only works if I start a completely new character, but I still can’t get my old character back no matter what I do. It seems like my main save is bricked or corrupted.

I have my game files and logs ready—should I upload them here or send them to someone specific? I really don't want to lose those 10 hours of playtime.

Thanks! 🙏

I don't use proton, but it's basically wine+, can you check what wine version is underlying it?

I was using wine 9.0 and got the same issue with missing functions in the dll, upgrading to wine 11 fixed that

[quiet obsidian]

Summary

I run a small Windrose server using Nitrado. With three people, we have ≈60 hours collectively on the server. It is unplayable because it restarts every hour due to out of memory issues. I've upgraded our RAM to max but from the logs its Virtual Ram that is going to zero not physical RAM.

Question

Has anyone experienced this problem? Is there a client side fix for this?

Are the devs aware of this apparent memory leak that breaks centrally hosted servers?

Logs attached

[simple verge]

ITs bisect hosting 🙁

i tried to restore backup

it was working all good, the server was fine, but on backup restoration it fails

[still trail]

the issue from what I can tell is that once your world has a certain amount of buildings, it starts calling a specific function

world works fine until that point, with older wine/proton, but as soon as it gets past that threshold it won't work any more. figured it wasn't the world when it still loaded fine on windows

then someone here mentioned wine 11 and I tried swapping, and lo and behold, it works again

[simple verge]

so I should ask bisect to update wine ?

[still trail]

I'd see if they can swap what version of wine or proton it's running, yeah. likely they have multiple options?

I really hope Kraken Staff reads comments here because I dont know where else to go. A lot of us who LOVE your game and are putting so many hours into it are really struggling as you can see in the Nitrado Support channel. MY wife and I used Nitrado because its literally right on the home screen in the game but the game is almost unplayable in many occasions weather it be the insane lag or rubber banding on the oceans making ship battles impossible. The disconnects are annoying but I mean I can deal with that but there has been no communication from Nitrado in the support channel for days and days and they started out really good. No communication as to why its happening or if they are working on a fix. Its gotten to the point where other discord members are stepping in to try to help people who have been waiting for days for a response. Something needs to be done or remove them from your home screen because its making what should be an amazing game a very negative and frustrating experience.

my main character could not load my main world anymore (for some reason, could still load some other worlds), so i did a backup replacement.

[pliant bear]

Is there a way to launch a server on Linux? I want to run a dedicated server off my homelab server running Proxmox without the need to try and open a windows VM.

[ember junco]

https://pterodactyl.io/panel/1.0/getting_started.html

Personally I run Pterodactyl and there is already an "egg" for Windrose but it's a server manager that runs whatever game servers you stand up in docker containers and uses wine to run the steamcmd based ones like this game

[pliant bear]

I appreciate this, I'll read up this documentation. Only server I've ran on my homelab was Project Zomboid and that can just be done through cmd. Windows is pretty resource heavy so I wanted to avoid that as much as possible as my homelab isn't huge, just a hobbiest machine

yeah personally i have the one server on proxmox running Ubuntu server and that server runs strictly my pterodactyl setup and saves a ton on resources

An 8gb server is really only meant for about 2 players; any more than that you're lookin at 10-12

It does have a slight issue where RAM goes up on fast travel/movement quite heavily and doesnt seem to drop which should be resolved in time tho, doesnt sure to toss in a bug report 👀 assuming the slots match the RAM, should run at the very least for a while

I can load into single player but not into my friends dedicated server I got frozen at my ships wheel couldn't get off of it so I closed the game to relog now I get a indefinite load screen

[ionic temple]

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

[signal orbit]

moved my local save to dedicated server and i dont have any of fast travels options or map discovered

[rocky rampart]

I know damn well other players has to be experiencing this problem with freezing on the server like when you're battling or running it would freeze and it wouldn't unfreeze until after you're dead

[cosmic rover]

Does anyone know if there are any reported issues right now for stuttering on a dedicated server on my own hardware? CPU/mem usage look fine and everything has ran fine since day 1.

Issue follows the world file between 2 of my machines, direct connection on/off, only 1 player online. Issue seems to stop when I rollback to last nights save but would rather not.

[brave isle]

So… everytime i start windrose and play for some time, eventually my Computer just restart, without any error or blue screen, just turn off and on again.. this only happends with windrose

I saw that when im playing the game, my SSD Goes 100% a lot… could be related ?

[still trail]

that means your world transfer didn't happen fully, that is a new world.

check that you put the world ID properly in the server settings, and that all files transferred.

[still trail]

yeah, sounds like windrose is exposing some underlying issue, but that's a bit out of the scope of this channel. generally you want to look into your windows logs, through event viewer, to figure out what's happening.

[brave isle]

How so?? Isn’t This the channel for technical support ??

[still trail]

Windrose tech support, not diagnosing windows/PC crashes. that can get quite a bit in depth, could be anything from slightly unstable ram/cpu, psu not giving quite enough power, etc. tons of things that are only exposed on very high loads.

event viewer is usually the first place I'd go when nothing else is giving an indication

[craggy yew]

start menu -> search event viewer -> windows logs -> Application. look for R5-PID(somenumber). it will probably have ran out of memory. ive been having the same issue. its not a windows thing.

[still trail]

that could very well be a memory issue, yeah, the 100% ssd usage could be due to it trying to use a page file

that said, windows usually warns you if you're running low on memory, and everything will start to run really sluggish, rather than straight crashing the entire PC.

[paper pecan]

138 GBs written in about 12 hours of windrose, is this normal?

[still trail]

a bit more than I got, I had around 80GB in 16 hours, but in the same ballpark.

sounds like a lot but it's honestly nothing to worry about.

[paper pecan]

one of my friends who was hosting for us got a bluescreen and his SATA SSD died, later we discovered that this is a common issue on steam forums and had to check by myself using hwinfo64

[still trail]

your SSD will not die from a measy 138 GB of writes. SSDs are rated in TBW, or terabytes written. Both of mine are 600TBW for example.

if you played windrose every day and it wrote 138 GB, that's 4347 days or 11 years before it would reach that

it's high, yes, but it's nowhere near something your SSD would notice

[craggy yew]

i have a 5950x, 128gig ddr4 @3600. it also looks like its having some threading issues. if you check the game with process explorer the threads look like a mess.

[nimble geode]

I've run into a new issue that wasn't present yesterday. I'm on mouse and keyboard and while I can zoom in just fine, I can't zoom out at all.

[still trail]

yeah I had that same event show up with Icarus a while back, and in neither case it was using all of my PC memory.

I assume the program is exceeding the allocation, or windows is just too slow to handle rapid memory allocation.

it definitely does not mean your computer is out of memory

[twin plume]

Sharing my progress:
For now, I solved the issue by setting the docker network mode to host and then setting the p2p-proxy to my servers local IP.

On top I opened an issue for the docker image:
https://github.com/mornedhels/windrose-server/issues/11

[craggy yew]

could be rouge thread going brrr

[still trail]

yeah I've been seeing that docker advice since day 1, and giving the p2p one myself for local access for the same, both known issues.

Is there any news on a fix to end the Maintenance on Boosteroid please? It's been down for a while now. Game is working fine on GeforceNow and PC, but Boosteroid are saying devs are working on a fix for Boosteroid?

[umbral bramble]

Anyone else getting microstutters in the game lately? I have played 50 ish hours and the last 10 hours or so i am getting little microstutters

[shrewd swallow]

Nope.
There's been no updates to the game in the last week, so check your PC and if it happens on newer saves / worlds.

[versed pagoda]

is there no fix for these random crashes?

[shrewd swallow]

I don't think that's something consistent.
I haven't been having any crashes.

Where can i send my Server crash reports?
I had a server with up to 5 Players paralel and host a server since 8 Days.

[shut relic]

Hey,

I’ve got an issue, the game is using most if not all my CPU while ignoring my GPU, is there any way to make it use the GPU so that the CPU is not constantly overwhelmed ?

[frank pawn]

Hey guys. I started the game after a few days of not playing and suddenly i can't load into my world with my first character. The game keeps crashing when i get into the loading screen. Any ideas?

[shrewd swallow]

It may be Steam Cloud, it has a tendency to screw with things.
Try loading one of the save backups.

And also disable Steam Cloud, at least for the game.

C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles
-# %LocalAppData%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles

[frank pawn]

I got no /Saved/ folder inside my Gamedata 😄

[shrewd swallow]

It's not in your game data folder

Users -> AppData -> Local -> R5

[frank pawn]

ok found it so how do i load one of the backups i got like a dozen there

[shrewd swallow]

Yeah, just pick one of the newer ones and use the Accounts, Players, or Worlds folders (or all three) and copy/paste them into the non-backup areas. They'll overwrite the existing saves, so would be a good idea to copy the originals to your desktop as a precaution.

[fluid chasm]

Hey everyone, a friend of mine is having trouble logging into the game. It crashed a few days ago, and now he can't log in. He reinstalled the game, but the loading menu hangs for a long time, and nothing happens. Has anyone else encountered the same problem?

Acctually, the loading takes about 30 minutes and then a menu appears with only one button, "Exit the game."

[rigid quarry]

Did your friend buy it from steam?

[fluid chasm]

Yes, he did bought it from Steam, he did "repair" in Steam, didn't helped...

[rigid quarry]

Maybe try to re download the game

[fluid chasm]

he did it too, nothing helped

[rigid quarry]

Hm… is there a specific error code shown?

[patent socket]

My friend instantly gets kicked when joining my server. He has already deleted saves from %localappdata%, and we still get experience the problem. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! We have also tried disabling Steam Cloud saving, plus changed DNS to different numbers... We have now tried to join each other for 3 hours. 🙁

[whole spruce]

Hey my game start crashing when i just want to load my game. Its UE5 Error and instant crash any tipps to solve that problem?

[fluid chasm]

Nothing, just game loading approx. 30min and then just showing "Exit the game" button

[frank pawn]

Thx man it worked

[lime topaz]

Their local save is corrupted so they need to use one of the backups the game is automatically creating or, if all backups are toasted, remove the saves entirely.

[subtle jasper]

hello,
i am needing to have a cloud save profile deleted. it is corrupted and causing infinite loading screen.
my current work around is just manually saving my good character save for now and runs fine. the second i turn on cloud save is when it pops that bad save back into the folder and puts me back on infinite load screen. i have attempted everything i could on my end and steam stated to reach out to developer to remove cloud save

[pliant bear]

This thread doesn't really address the issue I am dealing with. Its not crashing on join cause the server isn't started yet. It's failing to create /temp/.X11-unix so it's unable to start the server.

[crimson zinc]

Public announcement: Disable motion blur in graphic settings, increases FPS dramatically. 🙂

lol sorry to many convo's
the panel isn't the right tool for this game. Native Windows hosting or host-level Proton are the two paths that actually work

Anyone know why hosted nitrados server (i just bought one yesterday) keep moving me and my friends to main menu?

[wraith glade]

Why is it always like this?

too often

[next solstice]

Make like this to me after and update usually. To prevent that try to set an automatic restart on the server so the server can install the update and works fine.

[wraith glade]

where can i set auto update?

[mossy yarrow]

Where is file saves located for character & world?

[pastel wasp]

I am so confused i thought frame generation type set to DLSS will improve frames i turned it OFF and now im chilling at 77-90 with it on it was 47-60 -.-

Anyone else try this or had this issue?

[muted rapids]

Is there a channel where i can send the logs? (not Public)

[subtle thistle]

because your paying for a service that at best is giving you 2 cpu cores and barely any ram to run a game that has bombarded the work load and your paying out the nose for it

[subtle thistle]

there is no official channel that i know of, a dev in here said to make a thread in game support but that does not make it private, you can redact your logs and i can have a look, kind of why my ps tool asks if you want them redacted as networking exposes a lot of private info to send out into the world 😂

[subtle thistle]

yes its not made for it or implemented yet as its STILL early release, FSR is better if you want upscaling as it seems to be worked out better in the game

[subtle thistle]

Press Windows Key + R and enter this:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles
Open the folder named with your Steam ID, then navigate to RocksDB[GameVersion]\Worlds
Note down the WorldID folder name of the world you want to upload, you will need this later.

[mossy yarrow]

I managed to get the world working but not the character

[subtle thistle]

i could be corrupt turn off your steam cloud sync as that has fixed it A LOT of times and then load the world

[mossy yarrow]

I can only see my level 1 character I just made. Can that be issue?

The world loads fine but cannot find my level 8 character

[subtle thistle]

if you only copied the wrold then you didnt grab the character

your character should be in your worlds folder

Make sure the GameVersion folder matches between source and destination. If one machine is on a newer build, the RocksDB[version] folder name will differ and the character won't be picked up

[mossy yarrow]

I copied these 2. Both says 0.10.0

From _Backup

[carmine acorn]

Nothing new it seems...sigh. Unsure what to do, but that was a whole weekend wasted without being able to play.

[frank pawn]

Hey Guys another question after i get the loading screen crash fixed.

Since i started playing today my game works like 5 Minutes normal and after that i get ton of lags and screen freezes. So i changed the graphic settings to low but nothing changed.

My PC should run this game without any problems.
Any solution for this?

[subtle thistle]

im thinking it tanked hard given the extended maintenance

[subtle thistle]

solo or on a server

[mossy yarrow]

Looks like this now

[frank pawn]

@subtle thistle playing solo sry

[mossy yarrow]

Do I need to add anything to Accounts folder?

[subtle thistle]

if its 5 min and then tanks what are the specs of the rig?

[subtle thistle]

yes

[mossy yarrow]

Such as?

The character and world is from another account

[subtle thistle]

copy all of it

[mossy yarrow]

Accounts data into my Account?

[subtle thistle]

Heads up since you mentioned it's from another account: character and world saves sit inside a folder named after the Steam ID they were created under, and the game may check that the save matches the account loading it. Copying another account's Accounts data into your own SaveProfiles folder isn't guaranteed to work, sometimes it loads fine, sometimes the game ignores or rejects saves that weren't made by that Steam ID.
To try it: copy everything from the other account's Accounts\ folder into your own Accounts\ folder (the one under your Steam ID). Don't replace your folder, just merge the contents in. Steam Cloud sync off on both ends before launching.
If it doesn't show up after that, it's likely the ownership check blocking it and there's no clean fix. Worth a try though.

Uhmmm so what choice do I have if most of my recent save backups are corrupted (infinite loading to Crash to Desktop) other than reverting back my 10 hours of progress?

[wise turret]

I am also facing really bad hitching when playing co-op with a friend on a selfhosted server - ship speeds are inconsistant flicking between 22 and 7 making naval combat quite a challenge

[mossy yarrow]

How do I clear the cloud sync?

[stuck glacier]

Good morning, I run a dedicated server using SurvivalServers for myself and friends to play on. The server crashed the other day and now one of my friends sees the server but cannot connect, it's like it corrupted his save file. I've read online that save files can get corrupted, is there a fix?

[pastel wasp]

gained an extra 8-12 FPS from turning frame gen to FSR
Thanks for the tip its a little but ill take as much as possible.
edit: feels more smooth as well

[subtle thistle]

yeah my guess is not quite coded into the game quite yet

https://tenor.com/view/hello-jack-sparrow-pirates-potc-gif-25842197

[mossy yarrow]

I'm stuck here after "merge" accounts folder

Can I "wipe" the cloud sync?

[subtle thistle]

you can try and turn off steam cloud sync and load the save file if its has wrote over it or if you are on a server ask to have the files fix if possible

[subtle thistle]

not at the momnet but that seems like more of a #│modding-general question

[subtle thistle]

that is your internet connection and or theirs as well

[subtle thistle]

Two places to clear it:
Disable cloud sync for Windrose specifically:
Steam Library, right-click Windrose, Properties, General tab, uncheck "Keep game saves in the Steam Cloud."
Then clear what's already in the cloud (if you want a clean slate):
This is trickier since Steam doesn't expose a direct "delete cloud saves" button. Options:

With cloud sync disabled per above, launch the game once. Steam will detect the conflict between local and cloud and prompt you to choose which version to keep. Pick local.
Or globally: Steam, Settings, Cloud, uncheck "Enable Steam Cloud" (this disables it for all games, you can re-enable after).
For a hard reset, the cloud files live on Steam's servers and can be wiped via the Steam Cloud page at https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorageapp/?appid=4129620. You can view and delete individual cloud files there.

Order of operations for your situation: disable cloud sync for Windrose first, then copy the saves in, then launch. That way the cloud can't overwrite what you just placed locally.

[wise turret]

the server is hosted in office 🙂 and connected via 1Gb ethernet, the hitching occurs when its just me online as well - similar effect happens when fishing

[mossy yarrow]

Hardware issue?

[subtle thistle]

Run the host and client at the same time and watch the host's CPU. Ship physics and fishing both push per-tick load, and a self-hosted box doubling as a client tends to choke there first
Background sync (OneDrive, Dropbox, Steam Cloud, Windows Update) on either machine can stall the game thread for a second at a time. Easy to rule out by pausing them and retesting

[wise turret]

I dont have access to that room, how do I get in

[subtle thistle]

not sure perhaps you need to accept rules or want to see mods

[dreamy moth]

I'm playing co-op and I'm the one hosting. So I basically turn off cloud save and try to load my saves locally, is that correct?

[subtle thistle]

i mean killing any background task cant hurt at all lol, the games relies on heavy cpu when hosting and again its early release so its not optimized so you just have to see what works for ya

[wise turret]

hardware is solid its only intermittent around ship combat and fishing - no other issues in games

[subtle thistle]

so if you have discord open, chrome, youtube or even steaming it all adds up lol

[dreamy moth]

I'm on a Ryzen 9 9900X3D, it should be enough to do that right?

I didn't have issues rolling back to a really old backup back when I was level 4 but the most recent ones are all corrupted and I legit do not want to lose 10 hours worth of progress.

I'll try running my save locally for now and see how it goes.

[subtle thistle]

well i hate to tell you that you are running on a 6 core x3d cpu as that only has the 1 CCD with the 3dV cache so that is pulling the weight and my guess is the game will not take advantage of the extra cores on the die and just local the on with the L3 memory
make sure you have the newest chipset for the cpu as that may help with that and of course check and make sure you windows is no corrupt as well cause you you know....windows

[shut relic]

This is my biggest issue, the game uses 90% of my CPU while not caring about the GPU, anyone has a quick fix or is it gonna be worked on by the devs later on ?

[wide minnow]

I'm using both Linux( cachyos) and Windows in dual boot, I use linux as main OS. I've got the UE-R5 issue in first day, I followed some steps from https://www.protondb.com/app/3041230 it worked. The next day, same error, had to set sg.GlobalIlluminationQuality=3 -> sg.GlobalIlluminationQuality=1 again, it worked after that. Today, nothing worked, so I went to windows and installed the game, booted, had the issue regarding save files on diferent computers and I could only create a new character,( i tried to solution regarding disabling cloud save deleting the file-->create a new character, close the game, enable back cloud and resync, didn't work). Any solution for either of this issues?

[simple verge]

which version of Wine ?

Hi, me 👋

[livid shard]

someone know why i cant join my friends server

[digital drift]

You mentioned UE-R5, is the save data modded?

https://www.nexusmods.com/windrose/mods/158 Could try using something like this, in the event a modded save entry is causing trouble?

[digital drift]

Without more info unfortunately not. The common cause are network based, so using something like Cloudflare Warp may help 👀

[flat coyote]

I used no mods

[flat coyote]

I don't see how it could be network based, the game doesn't open I get UE-R5 right when I start the game.

[digital drift]

That was a reply to someone else 😉

[flat coyote]

oh sorry

[digital drift]

Hmmm.. the crash from what I can see is solely graphics based, the other is from vcruntime

[potent kelp]

Has anyone found a workaround/fix for whatever issue is returning us to main menu when trying to load a dedicated server?

Its also possible the Windows version its emulating is old, so using a trick like win10 could help? 🤔 Just will require some playing around with tricks / the FSYNC / ESYNC / WAYLAY args Proton uses iirc

[violet pewter]

Hello! Can someone point me to a walkthrough on what I'll need to do to get some help? I have been experiencing freezes that completely lock up my game. I thought it was network related because when it happens, it's only happening to my end. The freezes last anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. During this time, other players report me as continuing the last action (sailing, running, etc). I did the commands to force Windrose ipv4 over ipv6 but that seems it may have made the freezing happen more often. What started as lagging/stutters during multi-ship combat has turned into a game ruining experience. I do not have these issues with any other games.

I have verified the cache via steam.
I have run SFC scannow to resolve any system file issues.
I ran DISM checks to resolve any file issues.
I have 2GB fiber internet with zero network related issues elsewhere.
I am renting a server via BisectHosting and the freezing doesn't affect any players.

Here are my specs:

Gigabyte Motherboard Model Z590I VISION D
Intel i9 11900k
Gigabyte Vision RTX 3080

Yah started for me last night, previous 60 plus hours no problems then last night and today it seems to have an issue when in combat it just freezes the screen for a quick secound and goes right to the endless loading loop which I have to manually exit and then restart to get back into the game.

[restive spear]

I am having issues with the map stuff not showing

[shrewd swallow]

Maybe a save corruption issue?

Disable Steam Cloud, try loading an older save from the _backups folder.

Because it sounds similar to this chunk of convo:
#🚧│tech-support message

[round thunder]

Why? We paid for this... I should not have to disable basic game functions (steam cloud saving)

[shrewd swallow]

Steam Cloud has issues. A lot of issues, and this goes beyond Windrose.
Notably when a game saves frequently.

[earnest reef]

if it's for testing, to see if the problem lays there.. why is it a problem? it helps narrowing down the root of the problem >.<

[round thunder]

This is the ONLY game out of 350 games i have on steam that has this issue

[round thunder]

not my job to dev test the game.

[chilly sonnet]

It is early access isn't it tho right

[earnest reef]

ok so just there to complain for the sake of complaining.. gotchu ❤️

[shrewd swallow]

I've seen it A LOT in quite a few games, mainly with RPGs and games that can have a larger save folder.

[round thunder]

no.. i paid for this.

[edgy sonnet]

Its an early acces game dude. If you want it without problems,. wait for the 1.0 release

[round thunder]

clearly you dont pay for your own stuff

[buoyant bison]

if I accidentally deleted my character how do I receover it - is it possible??😢

[earnest reef]

early access... don't buy it then if you don't want to run into possible issues 😂

[shrewd swallow]

The game also has only had a SINGLE update after getting into Early Access.

We are so far in the earliest of early days.

[round thunder]

Not the point.

[earnest reef]

lol.. I have my own business next to a job.. I don't need anybody to pay for my stuff.. I'm more than capable 😂 😂

[round thunder]

Good for you.

[frozen yew]

Hello everyone ^^ anyone else having lags on their server ? Do we know why it is ? We tried to remove far away bonfires and houses from the map but it looks like it didn't help

[shrewd swallow]

Should be able to find them in the backups folder.

C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles
-# %LocalAppData%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles

[earnest reef]

ours is fine, only time we have a little bit of lag is when one of us takes the fast travel ❤️ is it a dedicated server on hosting, or is one of you hosting from the pc ❤️

[round thunder]

Just like EFT? LOL

[shrewd swallow]

You have options you can try, up to you to do so. 🤷

[round thunder]

Yes, I'll play one of the other 350 games I have

[frozen yew]

it's a dedicated server ^^

[queen fulcrum]

Hey all, is there any update or fix in the works for the locally host server with constant R/W to drive?

[earnest reef]

have yall rebooted the dedicated server? just checking sorry.. since people tend to forget those steps sometimes :p

[buoyant bison]

I tried and removed the _backup but it didn't work

[frozen yew]

Yes we did :/ Np thank you for answering haha

[shrewd swallow]

There's A LOT of backup saves in the backup folder.

You'll have to go in there and pick one of the more recent saves.

[grim depot]

Hello! When loading to dedicated server, after som time it sends you to desktop . Happens to everyone on the server . Ideas ?

[earnest reef]

ok ok ❤️ just making sure! was it laggy from the start, or just after a while? Maybe they're being overloaded on servers and just don't have the capacity (or server being to far away?)

[shrewd swallow]

You'll see each having their own batch of "Account", "Players", and "World", much like the normal non-backup save folder.

[ancient coyote]

I'm trying to connect to my friends dedicated server, it was working yesterday, it tries for about 20 seconds and then puts me back on the main screen, is there a debug console or anything? Is this an issue others are having?

[grim depot]

same problem

[ancient coyote]

Just saw your message too

[buoyant bison]

ohhh okay I see it and how do I restore a backup? sorry for my ignorance

[sour sigil]

Hi would this be a good channel to offer the devs ideas?

[chilly sonnet]

I love that this has become the drama channel

[twilit osprey]

When you will fix that server joining problems? One day we play trio no problem, next day one of us cant join, then other guy launches server, and again everyone can play. Following day third guy cant join.....

[frozen yew]

It was ok at the start ( we played day 1 ) but since last week it just is constantly lagging unless there's only 1 player on the server 🙁 I think you might be right maybe it looks like an overload

[earnest reef]

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1498373922096414883`<-- bug report post about the server connection issues ^_^ Might be interesting to collect the issues in 1 post (maybe?) as it also makes it easier for everyone having the issue to keep updated on possible fix suggestions (can follow the report post)

[earnest reef]

I think they prefer ideas/feedback through the feedback option on the main screen when you load up the game ❤️

[sharp galleon]

We expect them to resolve it; we've opened a case and reported it.

[shrewd swallow]

No worries.

So first I suggest to copy & paste the main save folder from AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles to your desktop for safe-keeping.

But after making that backup, look inside the folder (the main one in AppData), and you'll see RocksDB\0.10.0

Then inside of that, there will be "Accounts", "Players", and "World".

So then take the version of those folders from one of the _backups save folders and overwrite.

[digital shuttle]

Im asking helping how to log back in. This is what I've getting

[earnest reef]

between checking internet connection on your end, and checking if firewall might be blocking.. there seems to be some issue with (especially) dedicated server connections.. I'm not sure what mods/devs would prefer, to collect all reports in 1 report, or make individual reports.. but https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1498373922096414883 for example is a report post about connection issues :3

you are my hero thank you so much it worked!!!

[shrewd swallow]

nice! 😄

[copper pendant]

Hello pirates, I am looking at buying Windrose atm but one thing as me on the fence. many steam users report a bug where the game is writing gigabytes of save data in a few hours. I have yet to see it addressed in the patches the devs have dropped nor do i see it reported in the tech support or bug reporting chats. I am wondering if anyone knows if it has been fixed or if a fix is on the way, ty ❤️

[shrewd swallow]

They know of it, but the main thing is that it's the textbook definition of mass-hysteria.
It really is overblown as people are just reacting to it sounding scary.

This is what I'm getting right now btw.

[foggy chasm]

Can anyone help i have my bonfire right next to my workbench but it dont let me place anything else down?

[earnest reef]

wouldn't save data be the amount of space on harddrive?

[spark dome]

Hey Guys, is there a Tutorial, on how to bring my Savegame from a Server to Solo Play? I tried vice versa from the Tutorials to bring Solo Saves on a dedicated Server, but copying the Save-Folder from Server to Installed game seems not to work. Well, the folder is in here: C:\Users*****\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles

But does not appear in Menu when i start the game

[shrewd swallow]

The game keeps its save folder fairly consistent overall at about 70-90MB.
There is a _backups folder which exists that gets made, and even that is pretty small.

[earnest reef]

yuh yuh, that's what I was pointing out.. because Game was talking about save data.. not memory usage?

[shrewd swallow]

Overall, my save folder (including backups) is less than 2GB.

[shrewd swallow]

The main "issue" is constant read/writes and people seeing it sometimes saving frequently as it being "bad"

[teal imp]

I'm up to just under 42 hours of gameplay, and my game crashes more than once every hour now. Is there something I can change to make it crash less? I've tried lowering graphics. Any help would be appreciated

[shrewd swallow]

And most people commenting on it just seeing the topic active any not really knowing why of things.
-# most, not all though of course

[earnest reef]

but get angry if the game doesn't constantly save and they crash and lose progress right? :p

[shrewd swallow]

Pretty much.

[copper pendant]

people are saying the game writes out 60 GB of save data per hour. Meaning your SSD is writing an extreme about of data for long periods of time. this can wear down the hardware and damage older SSDs, I was hoping that the devs had mad a statement or a work around had been found

[winter zealot]

The gamesave workaround works for corrupted saves when playing on multiple devices but I just lost an entire level of progress. Is there any way to recover the progress?

[shrewd swallow]

"People are saying" is the key part of that.
It's people saying, and even that, people extrapolating far beyond

It literally is mass hysteria.

[copper pendant]

yeah but people dont say this about other games so something has to be wrong.

[round thunder]

Well perhaps if the devs decided to tell their paying customers what is going on, there wouldn't be "mass hysteria".

[earnest reef]

I have an older computer, because I just haven't upgraded it yet.. and I am playing the game for 41 hours... I'm not having any memory or data writing issues.. and my pc is running just fine 😬 So I don't know for sure.. but our older devices are running just fine for now 🙂

[foggy chasm]

Can anyone help i have my bonfire right next to my workbench but it dont let me place anything else down?

[copper pendant]

im glad to hear that

[earnest reef]

I haven't had that issues at all, so I wouldn't know how to fix it.. other than giving you generic reconnect to server, restart the game etc >.< if it keeps happining post in #1493348541177794601 maybe? ❤️

[shrewd swallow]

You get one person make a comment with scary numbers, then it just takes the right people to comment on it, though without seeing it for themselves.
Then people see that activity and it becomes a circle.

Happens far too often throughout history even.

[round thunder]

There are multiple people who have experienced this issue first hand, myself included.

[stiff zenith]

Has anyone been seeing issues with movement, such that certain diagonal directions no longer work? Restarting the game didn't resolve it, but rebooting my pc did; I'm just curious if it was a one-off or something others are seeing.

[covert hemlock]

Hello,

I have gifted Windrows to a friend of mine but he can't connect to the servers.
So we're trying direct IP until the server issues get resolved.

Which server port should I use for Direct IP?

[copper pendant]

glad to see someone not calling me hysteric, i assume the devs havent mentioned anything about it yet?

[round thunder]

no because when/if they do say something about the game being unstable people will request refunds.

[earnest reef]

https://playwindrose.com/faq/#faq-connectivity-samenet there's this. But top of my head that would depend on which port they're using for the portforwarding? it's been a while since I set it up that way

[copper pendant]

understand, itll sit in my wishlist till i see a patch note about it, thank you for your help

[round thunder]

np :3

Guess it's just me, then, fair enough.

[vapid dust]

K, just making sure

[hidden hemlock]

Hey there! If you haven't already I would suggest opening a ticket on our site and ask about an MTR. It can help determine/rule out packet loss/networking problems.

I would also check your graphic settings and try disabling/enabling DLSS/Frame Gen and or reset everything to default.

Aside from that check your pc performance when its happening. Is memory/cpu/gpu spiking? temps rising?

I personally haven't had any performance issues with Windrose and this is the first I'm hearing of an issue like this.

[queen fulcrum]

This was my exact concern as i am hosting for 5 friends so 6 ppl including myself. The drive read/writes are insane. I'm not freaking out but I also dont want my drive to be impacted. Saved game data is only sitting at +-700Mb.

We had some issues with our server last night where it was just kicking people trying to join back to menu, we restarted the server yada yada and it continued to work, however over night something happened and nobody could join the server, same thing and console would go nuts, I checked the backup saves and there was an 8 hour gap in the saves between 11:30pm and 8am (where ever our server host is based). The 11:30pm save works, the 8am one (and presumably every save after) doesn't. How can I connect with devs to send saves for investigation.

apparently people lost about 30-60 minutes worth of progress even though no other saves exist in that time

Can anyone assist me in uploading a local save world file to the nitrado server? I have the file, and a backup. The server is stopped and my game is closed.

[light kraken]

I have a question regarding modded servers. If I host either a dedicated server or a standard 8‑player session with mods enabled, do players who join need to download every mod the server uses, or can they connect without installing the mods themselves?

This happened us when we were on a server that was lagging with our host, we contacted them and they were able to put us on a different box, and it has solved the issue since for us.

[round lantern]

Around 5-10%

Nope

That could be a server issue with the places your running it from

whatever the devs have done in last few days has ruined the game for many people

[round lantern]

The devs have done nothing as far as I know

[atomic token]

Just a heads up but it seems like your password option on a dedicated server is busted. If I set no password friends can join fine. If I set any password even a simple test123, everyone always gets rejected with invalid password.

[round lantern]

Gportal and nitrado are getting slapped with too many servers to handle and the game just needs an optimisation update cus I think the crops are what's killing my frames

this is what windrose is at rn

[covert scaffold]

All of a sudden I cant connect to my friends server. The game just loads forever then closes

I tried to create a new game with the same character and I can load in. I dont understand what happened

[still trail]

password option is unlikely to be the culprit, every server I've joined has been passworded

[still trail]

what CPU?

[round lantern]

The component I'm using?

[still trail]

yes. 99% doesn't tell us much on its own.

depending on the CPU that could be expected or problematic

[round lantern]

[thick wagon]

Hey y'all. Just a quick question/ guidance help needed. I have been trying to get my local save, even just finding it, to be able to put it on a dedicated server but the path that I see everywhere, my game is not anywhere found in it as far as the path that I see everywhere. But when I go to host a game it connects with no issues.. any ideas?

[still trail]

honestly, not unexpected but looks like the 7543P generally benches lower than the 8700k on single threaded performance, so my best guess is the game doesn't strongly utilize multiple cores, which would be the server chip's strength

(the 8700k being the minimum spec they listed on steam)

so it looks to me like the performance you're seeing may be entirely expected, especially since I'd wager the minimum spec is for playing, not hosting

[round lantern]

Would potentially having a server over hosting solve that?

Atleast partially

[still trail]

server over hosting? not sure what you mean by that phrase.

[round lantern]

Like one through nitrado or gportal?

[still trail]

ah! honestly hard to say, it's still right around minimum spec so while it'd probably help a little, idk how much. maybe see if you can join someone else's game to test before doing that?

it's possible the server is threaded separately and not causing any more load on that chip than just the client

definitely test before trying that!

[round lantern]

I'll definitely do some tests beforehand

[thick wagon]

yeah, in through the game you can host a server, not a solo/ offline. but then I am trying to take that save and put it on a gportal server. But the path that I see to use everywhere, doesn't even exist for me

[still trail]

your local saves will be in %localappdata%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\###\RocksDB\0.10.0\Worlds

[thick wagon]

Yes, I don't have that.

That's is what I am saying

[still trail]

where ### is your steam ID. for a server, replace ### with 'default'.

[round lantern]

Unless you have the pathing to an external?

[still trail]

you have local saves but no save folder?

[jade mango]

Is there somewhere I can go to get some Nitrado questions answered?

[thick wagon]

correct, the only way I can find anything with r5 is through "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Windrose\R5"

[round lantern]

Also anyone able to host a session temporarily to test if my frames stabilise?

[still trail]

that's your install folder, and will not contain your saves.

they are 100% stored in %localappdata%\R5

try typing that directly in your windows explorer

percent signs and all

[thick wagon]

"%localappdata%\R5 (0 items)"

[still trail]

yet you have chars and worlds saved when you launch the game?

[thick wagon]

Yeah! I can launch and even have friends join my host a game no issues, everything saves, items, map progress, game progress, all of it 😬

[still trail]

want to hop in a vc and share screen rq?

[thick wagon]

STANDBY, I think I found it.. I put it in my actual search bar for the pc instead of the file explorer search bar and I think I found it

does it have a rockdb folder in it yeah?

[still trail]

OH yeah don't trust the start menu

and yes!

[thick wagon]

😮

I literally have been searching for this for like 16 hours 🥲

[still trail]

ahhh. the start menu search is VERY finicky, sometimes it's great, other times it can't see what's right in front of it lol

[thick wagon]

thank you so so so much

I was so upset that I couldn't see that path, I thought it was me lolololol

[still trail]

I don't know if that one is the issue, it's just labeled warning so it shouldn't be what's breaking it.

Disclaimer : There is no place apparently to share general feedback and the feedback form website is not suited for this so i'll just put all of this there. Also i'm not native english so there might be errors here and there, did my best.

Full list of improvements from 4 players after 105 hours and 100% completion (Quest, Exploration, Progress, Upgrades and massive builds)

Introduction :
First of all, what an incredible game, we had a tone of fun on it, i had like 10 hours solo and 90+ hours on a dedicated server with a team of 4 and we all had a blast on it. Honestly, beside minor fixes and QoL improvements, if the game released in 1.0 in this state it would have been a cool pirate game already. But there is at least 2 years of early access in front of us so here is a complete list of improvements we thought together with elements we have note through our 100+ hours of experience with the game.

Quality of Life :

• Make a special design and color for each fast travel icons from factions and town on the map to differenciate them from player's fast travel.
• Add deep UI personalization in the settings and a key to disable UI completely.
• Add more keybinds options, one for every actions, for the moment, some are missing.
• Add icons of building items we are unlocking next to schematics we want to buy, to know how it really looks. For the moment its just an unclear description.
• Add a clear, defined white horizontal line to the end of the boat's sighting arc because at the moment it is not always clear whether we are aiming where we want, below or above, especially long distance shots.
• Make the bonfire upgradable. For example with 3 sizes, a shorter one than we have now, the one we have and the last one being the double size to the existing one. Each ones requiring 3 different types of wood for example.
• Let sailors sing shanties even when we are not at the helm.
• Add the ability to climb at the crow's nest to have a long range view. It would also add another role to take for our friends on the same ship.
• Add an ability to add a "parking" at our bases for our ships. I know my ships are able to float to my dock but it still spawn very far away from my dock.
• Pause option for solo players or solo players when alone on a dedicated server.
• Add a table like in Valheim to share exploration.
• Option to take the skin of an armor while keeping the stats of an armor that have more suited stats for us. Also an option to hide armor parts, at least helmets and hats.
• Much slower drain of stamina while swimming.
• A better quest sharing system or a more clear one at least. Sometime quests without quest sharing icons are sharing, sometimes not. This need some improvements.
• Add more travel points depending on player numbers. We were 4 on 4 different islands because everyone wanted his little islands and building style so we were left with only 6 fast travel points to place on this very large map with around 60 islands.
• Add a photo mod, your game is beautiful, let players share this quality and their builds.

Technical improvements :

• In solo the game runs very well, in coop with just two players also but in a dedicated server, when we were 4 at the same time, desync and crashes were happenning a lot. There is a lot of improvements to be made on this side. Also this game would be insane with servers that have like 20 people, this game is very suited for Role Play and Community servers, hope you'll find the ressources and time to improve on this aspect.
• Loose items never disappear, vines, wood, EVERYTHING stays on the floor forever if we dont take it, it really sounds like a bad idea, it is maybe a good part of the reason that servers are not working well with up to 3 players.

Building system :

• Add options to precisely raise, lower, and rotate building objects on different axes, as well as an option to disable the inability to place certain objects due to collisions, allowing for truly free placement. This is particularly problematic when building on the edge of a cliff, as the cliff's hitbox is often much larger than the cliff itself.
• Beside this, of course, don't stop adding more building form, new objects and tons of decorations.
• Would be awesome to add placeholders for our ship's crew, when we're not at sea, to dress up and bring our villages and towns to life. We envision, for example, placeholder animations that loop: a sailor sitting and reading a book, a drunken sailor, a dancing sailor, a sleeping sailor, which could be placed where we want, and also simply a patrol zone, like the workers already do.

New content we would love to see :
Basically Pirates of the Caribbean stuff, like Sea of Thieves did, all the legends from pirates. Kraken, Megalodon, Sirens, a canibal faction, legendary boats to fight, more ship customizations and weapons, new biomes, new gear, weapons, more type of quest, underwater stuff and mechanics, you get the picture, nothing new, just cool pirate things.

Conclusion :
These are the major improvements and things we want to see in the future but we are already thankful for what you achieved and we hope the future of this game will be as successfull as its start. Good luck and good sail !

This was a well written topic. One issue my family is seeing is the shared quests are ALL bugged for us. Never once completed, and were always by eachother.

[peak zinc]

I asked this in player help... but at this point I'm willing to ask anywhere... So in the quest "How My Sea Adventure Began" I am at the point of crafting the 12-pounder cannon. I have a Bonfire, my Shipwright's Workshop is under a roof within the range of the Bonfire, my ship is nearby... I craft the cannons..... and it does not register as complete in the journal nor can I build a Wharf. The journal does not give further instructions. This is either a game breaking bug or there's a detail I am missing. I have scoured the internet to no avail and this is my last resort. I have also verified file integrity and even went as far as starting on a new world. Same story. This is all playing on a solo world

[near forum]

Good afternoon, So I'm sure this has been talked about in this thread somewhere, and hopefully someone can point me to it. I have roughly about 48hrs of playtime so far. yesterday when I was playing I was gathering materials and it was showing that I was getting the stuff but the stuff was not being destroyed. I decided to restart the game. when I restarted the game it took me to a loading screen to which it never progressed. I read your post about doing copying the backup file and placing it in the folder to which it goes to. I did all that and it still has me at the loading screen. Is there anything else that I'm missing? Or am I SOL? I have the backup file from the day that it happen still. I really don't want to have to go through the grind again, I don't think I can afford anymore broken controllers..lol

[spice shale]

I'm having an issue where anytime I try to host/join a server, I get stuck on the loading screen and the game just closes out. I've verified game files and had no previous issues, any ideas?

[pearl estuary]

@mods can you please ban 'Billy' it's the account with the red panda icon, his account was hacked

[sturdy copper]

Not sure if this is worthy of its own post in #1493348541177794601, but I'll leave this here

[swift ravine]

HELP!

[sturdy copper]

try holding Z and scrolling up or down a little and then try placing it again? Thats worked for me in the past

[pliant bear]

Finally got a dedicated server running. Now, how would I go about importing my solo world onto the server?

[still oriole]

I think the pin topic may have the answer im not sure

[pliant bear]

Ah, thanks. I see what I did wrong. Uploaded the wrong file lol

Hm.. still having troubles. It's refusing to recognize the world file and still generates a random one

[burnt gorge]

i try to load into my saved game and keep getting stuck in the loading screen. is this something to do with new nvidia update or what? any ideas?

[slender turtle]

i need help its not saving my progress

the game is closed but is showing that is still runing

and if i close now it will not save anything!!

[earnest tide]

Hi, I can't join friends for some reason. I just get booted out of the game completely to desktop

[violet glen]

I also am having issues with the game not closing though im not losing save data, i will close the game and come back to steam saying its running, ill attempt to close it but it doesnt, i have to close steam and restart it entirely to resolve this issue.

[slender turtle]

what can i do bro

[violet glen]

dunno posting for the same issue lol

[unkempt garden]

so my hotspot lets me join a friends game but not my actual internet

[vivid hemlock]

do you have a VPN enabled?

[lost bear]

Anyone have an issue where they can't join any worlds? Only worlds I can join are new ones I make offline.

[waxen echo]

got the same issue rn, but my boyfriend is hosting the server on our 2nd pc, I am not the only one?

[lost bear]

I had been playing with a friend on his world. We moved to a dedicated server, no I cant join his game or any of my old worlds on my local machine.

[waxen echo]

Is there a known issue for being in a forever loading screen?

[violet pewter]

I can't seem to find where to submit a ticket to ask about the MTR, but I'll work on that.

I did reset everything to default and then watched task manager while playing and discovered this

[unkempt garden]

no i dont

[vivid hemlock]

try adding the game to the firewall? see if that helps

sorry im not tech savvy lol

[unkempt garden]

i believe its on there its on the communication part

[vivid hemlock]

you can try changing the DNS to cloudfare or google

some ISPs are "strict" when it comes to blocking connections

I use cloudfare and I have 0 issues

[granite ravine]

The game is great! Except one thing.. when I and my partner are in the deep waters the waves are so heavy that it crashes us.
I'm hosting and they're on my private server

When I play alone the waves do not crash me.
What gives?

[copper brook]

Good day! I am experiencing an issue with "Mystery of the Expedition." I am on the first objective "... I should find the remaining graves to learn more." But I do not see anything on my map of where they could be.

[tawny yoke]

Hello, I've been having problems with stuttering and lag in the game. I searched up solutions online and people are saying that the game is breaking my SSD? Is this true or just fear mongering? I really want to continue playing but if it breaks my computer T-T idk what to do

[undone heart]

is there a|| ghost nearby who may be able to|| give you more information. This is an exploration quest, so you have to|| read, and talk to people nearby||

[vivid hemlock]

no clue lmao. Devs said they're working on a fix and a patch will probably be deployed next update. but not sure when that update is coming.

[undone heart]

trying to remain spoiler free so i dont ruin the experience

[hidden hemlock]

Oof. Yeah that is a problem. Did getting some space cleared help?

[copper brook]

@vivid hemlock It's all good. There's a very high chance I am the issue here haha. @undone heart do you recall where the beginning of the mission is found? I am forgetting at the moment lol

[violet pewter]

Still working on it, but it showed me the problem. It's always the easy things you never think of

[undone heart]

i can link you a walkthrough, but t||heres a ghost of a spanish sailoor who you interact with that tells you about some graves. theres other graves you can interact with to uncover more clues about the treasures whereabouts. the 3 graves are Estaban Vargas, Jaime Lopez, and Guillermo Sanchez||

look for magnifying glass icons on your map, if it helps

[ashen pawn]

Hello there I'm having quite the issue. The game won't load. It just sits at the startup splash screen and waits for 30 minutes or so. It will once in a while load the game but the screen is empty and there's only a quit button on the bottom left. I've tried everything and I'm not sure what's wrong. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and I've deleted the app data folder as well as verified the files. My wife's PC is also doing the same
