[undone heart]

modded? vanilla? private server or local save?

[ashen pawn]

Vanilla local save

[copper brook]

You're the best. I'll let you know if this doesn't work!

[undone heart]

try resetting your graphics card. Win+CTRL+Shift+B , screen will go blank. wait a few seconds, and launch the game again.
also, make sure you have no windows updates, and seeing if you have any gpu updates using nvidias control panel/whatever AMD uses

[tawny yoke]

is this for me?

[undone heart]

no, sorry, for @ashen pawn

but it doesnt hurt to try it @tawny yoke

[ashen pawn]

I've done all updates through windows and adrenaline and also reset the GPU. Still won't load. Worked yesterday for both of us now it just sits here and loads

[undone heart]

but ive been on the game for a bit, both private server and local save, i havent experienced any issues with my SSD

[ashen pawn]

I see there's also a few people on reddit and YouTube that are having the same issue as of today

Thanks for the help by the way. I'll keep looking around though and hope I come across a solution

[undone heart]

you can try running as administrator or running it with a dx12 or dx11 parameter

[ashen pawn]

I'll try that

[undone heart]

Start Steam and click on its Library tab.
Right-click the Windrose game in the left sidebar to select Properties.
Enter -dx12 into the launch options box.
Try starting Windrose.
If the game still doesn’t start, enter -dx11 in the launch options box for Windrose.

if you needed help with it

[ashen pawn]

Lol thanks I got it but it's good to have it up in case someone else might be able to benefit from it

Oh hey that's wild. I get a message saying the game doesn't support dx11

Nothing worked unfortunately. Still infinite loading screen

[undone heart]

have you tried saving a backup of the r5 folder in your appdata, and then wiping the original. could be an issue in the config folder

see if it will launch a vanilla clean copy

[ashen pawn]

Yeah I've gone offline then deleted the r5 folder still to no avail

[undone heart]

did you turn off cloud save prior to?

[tender thicket]

@livid latch is a griefer he joined my world and destroyed everything and then proceeded to block me after please ban him so others don’t go through same thing I had to

[ashen pawn]

Yes. The machine is also disconnected from Internet

[undone heart]

i recommend opening a modmail for grievances

[potent gust]

I have picked up multiple items in different zones and it is not updating the discoveries, ive restarted my game, dropped and picked them up again, etc.

I am playing modded, i can provide list of mods if required. but played an entire world with the same mods and am just now starting to find this issue.

[ashen pawn]

Ok so I've figured out it has something to do with my characters or worlds under the SaveProfiles in AppData. If I remove it while offline the game works and lets me create a new character and world. The moment I bring my character back is when it loads forever

[shrewd swallow]

The game luckily creates backup saves, so should be possible to restore things.

[tender thicket]

Yes luckily I mange to find it I don’t get it why people do this ts

[turbid ether]

anyone know why its not letting me load into my friends world, i will try to load in and it will kick me out with no error and put me on the main menu

[shrewd swallow]

Yeah, it's terrible what some people choose to do.

[ashen pawn]

Figured it out. It seems there was a player deep in the SaveProfiles folder that for some reason was causing the infinite loading screen. Deleting that specific player restored functionality to my Ally X. I will say though it seems steam doesn't recognize removing it as changing the files so it keeps reuploading the corrupt player. Anyways hope this helps someone else in the future

[exotic gorge]

i have done evrything wiped drivers lowered graphics settings and 100 other things everytime im playinng the game i go about 20 minutes and my whole screeen goes black and i have to hard shut down my pc. i have tried evrything in existence and i cant play the game

[lime topaz]

Currently Steam Cloud is responsible for a lot of corruption issues with local saves.
Especially if you are trying to use it to sync multiple devices.

[lime topaz]

DX11 isn't supported, FYI

[ashen pawn]

It wasn't until recently it started giving me problems. At work I'll use my Ally X but at home I use my PC. Sometimes it loses the save but so far nothing catastrophic. Hopefully we get a fix

[lime topaz]

Create a thread in #1493364524705775657 and share your dxdiag report there

[muted sage]

I'm having the same type of issue. Started happening after the last patch, was fine for Demo and when game went early access. Once that patch hit, it drained my laptop battery (I am plugged in all the time), then just black screen and nothing til I rebooted the laptop.

[lime topaz]

If you see no writes or reads with high usage time it's because the disk or I/O stack got corrupted.
The game freezing is a secondary issue to that.

[lime topaz]

If your battery got drained it wasn't plugged in (or rather, the system didn't detect it was connected, which sadly happens a lot) or your charger isn't powerful enough to keep up with full load on your system.

The first issue is usually resolved by unplugging and replugging the charger.

[muted sage]

On a side note, I have spent the last 2 days logged in to Warframe, even afk for literally 18 hours each day, both playing and walking away to do life, and zero black screens, zero crashes, zero anything wrong. Alt-tab to look at X, facebook, look up searches on google. No problems.

[latent hound]

So is the SSD issue bad or just blow out of scope?

[muted sage]

My PC crashed a year ago, all I play is a laptop, plugged in all the time. it's set up like a PC. I checked the charger, checked the connections, and even changed to a new charger. Same problem. the laptop has not left its location in over a year.

[waxen echo]

can someone please help, I cannot connect to the server of mine anymore, all I get is a forever loading screen. It worked just fine a day ago

[muted sage]

i played for 10 + hours the first 2 days the game came out, no problem. After the patch when it went "live" is when I ran into issues. Mostly in co-op, like 6 times. A few times in single player, like 2.

I mean, I have 58 hrs in game, but theres an issue there somewhere

[waxen echo]

my bf got bsod (blue screens of death) from the game, he got a pretty beefy pc so we were confused turns out slowing his memory speed or something fixed it entirely (he is the tech savy one not me, sorry if I explained it wrong)

[crude juniper]

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1496921814431961178 It's a confirmed issue. The devs have responded regarding it as of the most recent post in this thread. The proof and other information is in there.

There is a confirmed issue of excessive writes made to SSDs, however this would not create stuttering or lag within the game and would not have any impact on game performance.

The thread detailing the SSD issue is here https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1496921814431961178 .

But that would be a separate albeit real problem from your stuttering and lag.

[still trail]

And it's nowhere near enough writes to be concerning for drive health. High, yes. Destructive, no. At the rate mine is writing, it would take 20 years of windrose to use my drive's TBW.

[hushed raptor]

Is it just me or is anyone else having a hard time TRACKING THE QUESTS on their game? I keep pressing track and it does not pop up on the map

[tawny yoke]

Ohhhh, so fear mongering? I'm not a tech guy so I really need help with translating the jargon

[still trail]

SSDs "wear down" by writing data, reads are free, but writes slowly take their toll. Thing is, drives measure for long they'll live by TBW, or terabytes written. This varies by drive but usually it's 100-600.

[rustic sparrow]

anyone know a fix to stutters and frmae drops

[crude juniper]

It's good that you have enough space on your SSD for that to not be a concern. I do not. A float of about 20% or 30% by some estimates of free storage space is necessary based on how SSDs write data.

[wicked mortar]

Anyone have any luck with the game being stuck on the loading screen?
I have done the usual steam cloud stuff, reinstalled, reboot, change network etc
No luck at all, but was working fine last night

[crude juniper]

I'm assuming you're already familiar, but I expect many other people will not be so I'll link an explanatory video for reference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwYttFnXRps

[still trail]

Looking at mine from the game, it's around 80 GB in 18hr. And my drive is rated for 600 TBW. 600,000/80=7500 days, or 20.54 years.

[still trail]

That's not even how SSDs work any more. They do use empty space for caching for speed, but they overallocate so much (it's called over-provisioning) they you don't need to leave space empty for speed, and that's irrelevant for writes/drive health anyways, two entirely different issues.

If the drive is near end-of-life, then it could be an issue, but you have so much hidden space and drives have so much TBW that it's unlikely. You can check your SMART data using something like HWINFO64 if you're really worried.

[inner star]

brothers pirate.

do you have some issues like me if you play in dedicated server? that every 6-10 hours, the world is bugging, every npc is nude, and cant use item / consume item?
or its just me ?

[rustic sparrow]

anyone know a fix to stutters

[manic mulch]

lower your gfx settings 🙂

[tawny yoke]

got worse for me when I did this actually HAHAHA

[warm vale]

Hello, I am in a situation where I don’t know what to do. I need someone who knows the game well. I started the game and I have 10 hours on it, so I made some progress, and yesterday I invited a friend who was starting from zero on my island. He therefore had his first tutorial missions, but then my more advanced shared missions are not linked in his progress. Should I do each of his own missions until he reaches my mission level and our progressions link? Or won’t it work because we have to start together?

[manic mulch]

https://giphy.com/gifs/paramountplus-beavis-butthead-butt-head-jSE82eofMQcaIiyOoU

[tawny yoke]

In all seriousness, put your game in Fullscreen and turn off frame generation type in the graphics settins

[crimson raptor]

Hello, does anybody use it this https://github.com/indifferentbroccoli/windrose-server-docker?

[manic mulch]

Many have

[crimson raptor]

I don't understand why I can't connect to it, I'm trying to run it in LAN. So I set P2P_PROXY_ADDRESS to LAN IP as stated, but still loading screen, nothing in logs and main menu

[still trail]

That's one of the more popular dockers I see referenced here. Lots use several, and run it bare metal.

[crimson raptor]

If I try to connect to server via LAN should I open ports on my router? May be it's neccesary for some reason, idk

[still trail]

Nothing in logs then that isn't your issue (though it's needed once you do figure out the issue).

[crimson raptor]

So it's the last what I see in logs. When I'm trying to connect there is nothing =\

[still trail]

Using invites, shouldn't be necessary, and direct connect would stay on LAN (tested it offline, it works).

Hmmm. Maybe try direct connect? Would probably be easier than trying to figure out why your connection isn't reaching it via invite.

[crimson raptor]

I'm trying to connect directly

[still trail]

Oh! Show your settings for that?

[crimson raptor]

Without invite code. When I'm trying to use invite code game tells that there is no server

So my .env or server setting json?

Or how is it called. Server description

[still trail]

json

and how is the server set up - bare metal, docker, or? and linux or windows?

[crimson raptor]

Docker

Frankly speaking container manager on syno

{
"Version": 1,
"DeploymentId": "0.10.0.3.104-256f9653",
"ServerDescription_Persistent":
{
"PersistentServerId": "262AF82C442270D738D404B679040D3E",
"IsPasswordProtected": true,
"Password": "....",
"ServerName": "Pirates",
"WorldIslandId": "DA92B11E1BA14033308C57E7C1C50D4B",
"MaxPlayerCount": 4,
"UserSelectedRegion": "",
"P2pProxyAddress": "192.168.1.3",
"UseDirectConnection": true,
"DirectConnectionServerAddress": "",
"DirectConnectionServerPort": 7777,
"DirectConnectionProxyAddress": "XXXXXXXX"
}
}

[still trail]

take out DirectConnectionProxyAddress, leave it the default (I think 0.0.0.0)

all you need atm for that is the port

[crimson raptor]

Hm... Okey will try now

[still trail]

and for docker, set network mode to host

(I don't use docker but I see that advice thrown around a LOT)

[crimson raptor]

Already done

[crude sky]

who do i need to talk to about my name?

[crimson raptor]

Just the easiest way to expose all ports container needs lol

[still trail]

right click your name, edit per server profile, set it to whatever

[crude sky]

i dont understand what the issue was in the first place

[still trail]

swearing in your name most likely

[crude sky]

well my ttv name is KissMySASS_TTV

[still trail]

not my call but don't be surprised if it happens again or they ban you lol, they do have swearing blocked in the server I believe

[manic mulch]

It's not going to run with proxy address like that needs to stay 127.0.0.1 then you just direct IP to connect threw client said machine 192.168.1.3 said pw and 7777 as port

[crude sky]

i fixed it that is so wild

[still trail]

P2pProxyAddress changed to local server IP does work, that's how I run mine

[crimson raptor]

So just readme of repo

[manic mulch]

Ina docker container?

[still trail]

no docker for mine but that's what half the docker instructions say to do too 😛

see what Comard just posted

[crimson raptor]

I'm reading the docs then asking usually 😄

[manic mulch]

Well if it works great if it doesn't do it the way I.said

[still trail]

you can't connect locally with the default. literally will not work.

[manic mulch]

No you can

[still trail]

right now his issue is something else, the server isn't even getting the connection

[manic mulch]

Because I do

[crimson raptor]

I'll try. Deleted docker image accidentally, downloading

Btw, my server is on the other pc in lan, not on mine

[still trail]

direct connect or invite?

[manic mulch]

Yes so is mine

[crimson raptor]

I'll try direct connection ofc. Just loading image

[still trail]

oops meant for Goat

[manic mulch]

Hehe

[still trail]

replied to wrong one rofl

[manic mulch]

Anyway what i.was saying was more then one way of doing things

[still trail]

wondering if it has an impact on direct connect, I haven't tested that. I do know for invites it really throws a fit when it's just got the local loopback.

if you're using it with direct connect, that would be useful info

[manic mulch]

Also intive and direct don't work together.

[still trail]

yeah if direct is true, invites are turned off

[crimson raptor]

Seems it starts working. According to logs the world is generating

YEP! FINALLY!!!

[crimson raptor]

That was the solution

DIRECT_CONNECTION_PROXY_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0
P2P_PROXY_ADDRESS=192.168.1.3 (machine LAN)

And network_mode: host in compose ofc

[still trail]

right on. idk why the two IP settings for dc are exposed, right now changing them breaks it

just true and port and go

[crimson raptor]

Thanks for help

[manic mulch]

Like in my case changing proxy just crashes the server over and over 😂🤣 which is why I just leave direct.true and change nothing but port

[still trail]

That's odd. Wonder what's up with your network, that shouldn't happen.

Well - if it works, it works. Can't argue with that, even if I am curious why lol

[manic mulch]

I haven't a clue really , maybe cause no proxy stuff ever been set up? Shrug I really don't know lol

This only game I've had had any weird issue with tho

[still trail]

Yeah the networking for this game is really odd

[manic mulch]

Needs some more cooking heheh

[blazing edge]

hello my friend cant join any server via ip or invitation code or server nitrado he enabled the firewall of windows is there any fix

[gleaming jackal]

I found a video exposing an ssd rewrite issue that was responded to by the devs, but the devs have since blocked and closed that response. Can anyone here direct me to or explain to me if the large rewrites on the ssd are a thing (and a thing to be concerned about)?

[shrewd swallow]

People are getting it mixed up on what is happening and then assuming it's far larger because it seems scary.

Have not seen anyone actually show any actual degradation to their SSD, just people "talking about it" or "people heard others talking about it"

[gleaming jackal]

This is the quoted comment (and pinned) on the video "We're aiming to deliver the fix in one of the nearest updates (most likely in the next one)."

[shrewd swallow]

Ther can be a lot of read/writes, but the way that people are taking it is over blown.

[gleaming jackal]

This video shows task manager and how much rewriting is going on

[shrewd swallow]

More often-than-not, the game is doing 0.1 MBps

[gleaming jackal]

as he plays in real time

[shrewd swallow]

I've put A TON of hours and I have watched Task Manager

Also have run tests on my drives.

[gleaming jackal]

Windrose excessive read/write issue for SSDs (WINDROSE DEV RESPONSE IN PINNED COMMENT)

are you tech support or just a random player

[shrewd swallow]

Just a player like anyone else.
Only red-names are employees.

[gleaming jackal]

did you watch the video?

Windrose excessive read/write issue for SSDs (WINDROSE DEV RESPONSE IN PINNED COMMENT)

[shrewd swallow]

I have and I've read the comments

[gleaming jackal]

can you tell me why the devs deleted thier discord thread about it?

they acknowledged it was a problem

so you are saying Sean that the issues witnessed by Pixel Operative was erroneous?

[shrewd swallow]

People are making this vastly overblown than it actually is when it comes to modern computing.

As for them deleting it? Are you sure? Because I can find a few threads in the #1493364524705775657 section on it.

[gleaming jackal]

click on the link provided by Pixel Operative

[shrewd swallow]

Literally right here:
#1496552267594334450 message

[leaden venture]

<@&1354821664998817822> SSD bs again

[shrewd swallow]

Yeah, really.
sigh

[gleaming jackal]

Just a new player

can you explain why I haven nothing to worry about?

[shrewd swallow]

I get that, but you're just doing the same thing that I've been saying.

Taking something that is already vastly overblown because it sounds scary.

Then it continues in the cyclical nature.

[rapid lintel]

idk if i should be concerned that you said "again" or not 😂

[gleaming jackal]

i need somethig more than "don't worrya bout it..it just sounds scary"

the DEVS RESPONDED

[shrewd swallow]

If this was 10 years ago, it'd be an actual issue.

Both can be true, a lot of read & writes, and sometimes excessive, but it also won't kill your drive.

[gleaming jackal]

This is a quote (from the Devs) "We're aiming to deliver the fix in one of the nearest updates (most likely in the next one)."

so if its just "scary" then why did they respond?

[shrewd swallow]

The people pushing the "kill your drive" angle are basically pretending SSDs haven't improved in 10+ years.

[leaden venture]

It's been flagged as something the game is doing but the extent to which it's an issue to drive health has been overblown

[leaden venture]

It was a hot button topic in genchat a few days ago.

[shrewd swallow]

And it crops up often and ALWAYS from the SAME source

Which at this point, I'm tempted to just say it's all for attention to the original person

[rapid lintel]

I see I see. If server mom addressed it then that's good enough for me tbh

[shrewd swallow]

because the views / attention he's geting....

Ad revenue is probably doing well

[gleaming jackal]

how many gb of rewrites per hour would you say the game requires?

[leaden venture]

They responded because of the amount of rumours and misinformation going on.

[shrewd swallow]

99.9% of the time, I see it as 0.1 to 1.2 MBps, an occasional spike to 8MB, rare instances of higher.

[gleaming jackal]

"Based on player reports and technical discussions, Windrose is currently experiencing an issue where it excessively writes to SSDs, with some users reporting approximately 50–60 GB per hour of data written"

[rapid lintel]

If they didn't then people would say that the devs don't care, which these devs very much so do care. At the end of the day if you're really worried about it then just don't get/play it until the next update. Seems like the easiest solution here instead of a never ending back and forth.

[gleaming jackal]

okey doke... sorry to bother. I'm confident you'll get more like me coming through the turnstiles

[shrewd swallow]

All good, and yep, most likely, lol

[leaden venture]

we already have lmao

[gleaming jackal]

I'd suggest not calling it "bs" as i think at face value to a new person coming on board it is a legitimate concern. I'd just hit them with this...

[timid nacelle]

Sorry I’m late to the conversation but is that about the infinite load screen? I’m 100 hours in and can’t play the game anymore… 🙁

[gleaming jackal]

"Based on a writing workload of 50 GB per hour, your 3TB Samsung Evo NVMe SSD would likely last well over 10 years, and potentially up to 15–20 years or more, depending on the specific model's endurance rating"

[gleaming jackal]

no you're just late to me beating the dead horse.

[shrewd swallow]

You won't be getting that in the vast majority of instances btw, this is what I see more often.

[leaden venture]

You know what. Fair I was probably harsh in calling it BS, but for those of us who have been in the server for a while, seeing the same "the sky is falling! The games destroying my drives" is grating

[shrewd swallow]

That may be tied to Steam Cloud screwing with your savedata.

Tried restoring from one of the backups?

[gleaming jackal]

oh i'll disable steam cloud for sure good idea

[shrewd swallow]

Yeah, I keep it disabled globally, has prevented a lot of annoyance over time, lol

I also don't use multiple devices for gaming, so it doesn't affect me.

[timid nacelle]

I’m not sure how to do that tbh…

[wise turret]

I am having issues - I have a local server (running in Docker) no Mods but I experience massive hitching when out in the ocean, its making ship combat just about impossible, investigations lead me to believe that it could be my aging SATA SSD wasnt up to the job, so as its quite a beefy server I moved all the server files into a tmpfs (ramdrive) partition and used it there, and the hitching was still occuring...the server is only 2 players a moderate base nothing huge. we've had to suspect playing until we can find a solution the error in the logs is showing as - [windrose] 2026-04-27T21:28:22.418916000Z [2026.04.27-21.28.22:313][898]R5LogBLDalAQ: Warning: [005898] R5BLDalAsyncQueue::DetectProblems [s:1102: 4110: commitT] Slow task.

[windrose] 2026-04-27T21:28:22.419420000Z Commit transaction any ideas?

[gleaming jackal]

i'm gonna run game w/ task manager on. If I see some shenanigans... (in best Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "I'll be back"

[shrewd swallow]

So in this folder:

C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles

You will have two folders, one with a series of numbers, another with the series of numbers, but + _Backups

In the _Backups folder, you will have a lot of individual backed up instances of your save data.

If you dig through each, you will see these

Can safely take a batch from the backed up folder and copy/paste it over the matching folders in the main one.

BUT would be good to copy the ORIGIANLS to your desktop as a precaution.

[still trail]

Writes in this game are excessive. It will wear your SSD down faster than usual, by a decent margin. But it would still take years to kill a drive, it's nowhere near an immediate danger.

So it is a problem and needs fixed, but unless your drive was already nearing EOL, it will not kill it.

[shrewd swallow]

It also isn't a constant thing, there are spikes, but it won't be like that all the time, or even most of the time.

[still trail]

You can do the math simply by getting any of a hundred programs that let you see SMART data, check the writes before and after a session, then divide that by your SSD's TBW (terabytes written, estimate on how long it'd take to die).

For me, I saw 80GB in one day of playing, and have 600 TBW, so it would take 20 years.

far faster than the MTTF (mean time to failure, also called MTBF) of my drive, but longer than I expect this computer to be alive.

[still trail]

task manager isn't great for this btw. The one I use is HWiNFO 64, I use it to pin gpu and cpu temps to my tray, but it also shows drive SMART data:

[timid nacelle]

Okay I’m gonna try and see if I can figure this out

[still trail]

and for anyone wanting to try this on a linux server, you'd use smartctl -a /dev/nvme0 | grep "Written", changing /dev/nvme0 to your drive. (apt install smartmontools to install it)

[valid flame]

Is it just me or the ships is getting laggy? It wasn’t like this few days ago

[wise turret]

unplayable here on a dedicated (self hosted) server only just into T2 islands and its mostly unplayable

[still trail]

single player, non-dedicated host, dedicated host, or joining someone else?

[valid flame]

Self host

[still trail]

dedicated or non? if non, any resources capped on your machine? if dedi, same but for either?

stuttering should have an underlying cause, usually either ram, cpu, or gpu capping out.

[devout patrol]

Its happens mostly when at sea right? on your ship

[potent kelp]

I’m running it as a container in my Kubernetes cluster

[subtle thistle]

its because ue5 thrashes the pagefile, especially if you don't have enough ram for the game. its a memory hog, and being early access doesn't help

[subtle thistle]

do not forget ping

[subtle thistle]

yeah that happens a lot out on the ocean as the shaders and all the backend UE5 engine really hits the cpu for processing

[devout patrol]

Hmm.

[exotic harness]

Still not found out why my server is crashing... But it seems down to the persistent world... As if I start it with the same world but a different persistent id it seems to run without any issues but once I swap it back it crashes again so something somewhere has gone weird

[vivid hemlock]

do we have any ETA on the patch for the said SSD problem

I love this game but at the same time am too paranoid of killing my old SSD

[serene dome]

Whats up with hosting a dedicated server for this game...Server is running but cant connect.

[fervent maple]

Seems dedicated server hosting is outright unstable, if server crashes it crashes, logs don't help and nothing on the admin side gives us power to influence it, it's just up to game devs patch up these

[exotic harness]

Yea I have one that crashes... Gives me one of two error codes... But there is nothing anywhere to say what the error codes are. Even if I just look at general error codes of the unreal engine there is nothing about them lol

[still trail]

They said probably next patch, though I haven't seen at eta yet.

[still trail]

If you're really worried you can check yourself how much life you have left (ssd's tbw - smart data writes) then play one session and compare smart data writes before/after, then divide by what's left.

[prisma anvil]

has something changed recently? games been running smoothly since launch but now my gpu is running really high, noticeable fps drops and a laggy delay when tabbing out

this is on the menu screen as well

[lime topaz]

There have been a few hotfixes weeks ago.

[prisma anvil]

it was fine on sunday

[lime topaz]

No patches between last and this week.

[iron ridge]

Look for Hardware and OS updates. Check your Temps for your CPU/GPU. Very likely something on your end, even what you have built in the world if too much for this early in development could cause issues. Easy to build large but does not mean the game will handle it well.
Finally if you have a Nvidia GPU (this works with another game) change your Driver from Game Ready to Studio. I am still on Studio and have had 0 issues with this game. Over with Icarus people are reporting issues until they switch to Studio. Can not confirm that Icarus is only game having issues with Game Ready but feels unlikely the game is the issue.

[subtle thistle]

for a bought server or you hosting one?

[fervent maple]

hosting on my dedicated server

[subtle thistle]

you have blocked ports or your ISP is blocking p2p then

[fervent maple]

oh I don't have issues related to connection, it's just general stability, that is server crashes

[subtle thistle]

then that is your hardware

[iron ridge]

Have a look in #1493364524705775657 as well there is a lot of information in there that can help even from the Devs. Yes game has issues but we are not 30 days into Early Access and there are a lot more playing then the devs could have anticipated. Like Ark however the game will complete there is too much money made already for it not to be so that is a great thing.

[subtle thistle]

that doesnt mean it will happen, there is no promise what so ever for that

[iron ridge]

Oh nothing is promised, at the same time some games fail because of poor managment or lack of funds. Lack of funds should not be an issue here. I was however a victim of the game Just Survive the last name it went by where plenty was made but still they quit. Also own Atlas too so I get it. Positive thinking however works best right?

[wraith lark]

idk if its already been talked about but i'm having issues with windrose killing my internet when i launch the game, it only does it for windrose, other games launch just fine

[languid vigil]

Is anyone else currently having connection issues with dedicated servers? Since last night, it's impossible to join mine.

I checked SteamDB and it looks like a new server-side version was released, but the client-side update isn't available on Steam yet. This is likely causing a version mismatch/compatibility issue, preventing anyone from connecting.

Can anyone confirm if they're seeing the same thing? If you have a fix or a workaround, I’m all ears!

[lime topaz]

It's not the game but either your antivirus/firewall if you lose connection on only your PC, or a modem/router kicked the bucket if you lose an entire LAN.

[strong beacon]

Unsure what keeps causing this issue, but my player indicator, discovered location map icons, etc vanish.
Only common ground I can find, might be related to base building.

Restarting my game does not remedy the issue, whereas either connecting to a new server, or loading a new world seems to remedy it.
Rebooting the server that is affected, only seems to be a temporary fix as it happens again very quickly once the world has been afflicted.

I can see other players (when on a shared server), but I can not see myself. Only custom map markers appear to still work.

If it helps, I'm playing on Linux, rather than Windows.

[wraith lark]

i tried turning off firewall still didn't work, it only kills internet for my computer and ive played numerous times before with no changes to my pc

[subtle thistle]

then its your pc, windows update or AV or even firmware update on router and if router is ISP rented then they could have blocked p2p games, use a moble hot spot and see if you connect

[paper kayak]

Long Loading screen canrt even play the game on my PC , but i can play on my steam deck

[subtle thistle]

hardware issue

or any number of things lol

[lime topaz]

If you are loading into the Main Menu for too long it's an indicator of corrupted local save.

Currently the game kicks the bucket if you use Steam Cloud to sync saves between multple devices.

[iron ridge]

Loading is usually tied to RAM and/or Drive Type/Speed

[subtle thistle]

and connection even solo because it has to talk to backend services

[prisma anvil]

idk man ive reinstalled my driver, tampered with a few settings but 100% gpu usage on the menu still, my other games are absolutely fine and this is all with the recommended settings 😭

[wraith lark]

Tried mobile hotspot it worked and didn't kill internet when i launched game, I use Spectrum is there any fix cause I don't have good enough mobile signal to play a game without lag

[iron ridge]

Oh I was just throwing some ideas out there to try to help. No clue what other games you refer to but again remember this is very early in development so can not compare this to others. Turn down your Resolution too that can help. I get it you have a good PC want to play in 4k and all but remember just because you can does not always mean you should.

[subtle thistle]

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1495848830510436354
go to the troubleshooting doc and look at the spectrum list of what to turn off

[wraith lark]

that works thank you

dont know why it was working fine before and now spectrum is suddenly decided to block windrose

[dusk plinth]

is there any way to transfer the structures of a world to a dedicated server? my buddy is having issues, they got the save and everything to be on the server but all the data such as structures and whatnot didn't transfer

[blissful crater]

hello every one dose any one have connecting problems ?

[rough tartan]

Does anyone know a solution for this error? It keeps showing up from time to time during ship battles.

[digital drift]

Did they ever give a update on why this was happening? 🤔 Fairly rare an ISP is blocking stuff like this unless theres a setup problem on the infras end

If it works it works, but its weird you gotta disable the security shield for your ISP just to game ha

[subtle thistle]

that is not true most isp do not like p2p and quite a few users are behind a CGNAT more than you think

[digital drift]

Perhaps im a lucky lucy then ha I've yet to have to do this for any game and I use Spectrum

So many variables

[subtle thistle]

welcome to networking

also do you have their modem?

[digital drift]

Sure do, I used to use my own router/switch but ended up switching back cause I got tired of upkeep 🤣

[prisma anvil]

does it on low settings too 🤷‍♂️

[digital drift]

The router tho hasnt been replaced in.. 2 years, so perhaps its some driver thing on newer models? 🤔 or absurdly old ones

[blissful crater]

any one can help me plz i cant join my friend server

[subtle thistle]

there is a long list of things it could be

[digital drift]

Truth

Hopefully its sorted pre 1.0 at the very least! Until then, we have fixes ha

[subtle thistle]

check your ports use the script i wrote to do so#1495848830510436354 message

[woven trellis]

Good morning everyone. I'm having a problem and I'd appreciate any help. I created a dedicated server on Proxmox using a Windows 10 VM. I've already opened the router ports, added the internet service with the provider and the public IP address, and confirmed on the website that the ports are open. I've disabled the Windows and Proxmox firewalls, configured the game files, and done a number of other things. However, when I try to connect from another computer on a non-local network, it doesn't connect; it goes back to the initial menu, and the server displays the following image (which I will post below). Can anyone help me?

[subtle thistle]

Four things to check, in order of likelihood:

1. UDP forwarding. The sites that say "port is open" almost always only test TCP. Windrose needs UDP forwarded too, and that is the actual gameplay traffic. Make sure your router has these forwards going to the Windows VM:
   7777 TCP + UDP
   7778 UDP
   27015 TCP + UDP
   27036 TCP + UDP
   If your forwards are TCP-only, that alone explains the symptom (lobby joins, then drops back to menu).

2. Proxmox networking. If your VM is on a private Proxmox bridge (something like vmbr1 with a 10.x.x.x address) instead of bridged onto your home LAN, your router forward stops at the Proxmox host and never reaches the VM. Easiest fix: put the VM on vmbr0 so it gets a real 192.168.x.x address from your router, then point the forward at that IP. The harder fix is iptables DNAT rules on the Proxmox host, but bridging directly is way simpler.

3. CGNAT. Compare the WAN IP in your router admin page with what whatismyip.com shows you. If they are different (especially if your router shows something starting with 100.64 to 100.127), you are behind carrier-grade NAT and no port forward on Earth will work. You would need to ask your ISP for a real public IPv4.

4. Quick sanity check from inside the VM. With the server running, open PowerShell and run:
   Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 7777
   Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 7777
   If nothing comes back, the server is not actually binding to those ports and we need to look at the server config instead.

1day problèm

[vernal heron]

Am I the only one that's seeing the wild amount of server performance issues? Huge latency and lag spikes.

I'm assuming it's a Nitrado issue since my dedicated server specs are pretty dang good. 9700X and 128gb of ram through Indifferent Broccoli

[cold whale]

Are there zero fast travel options for admin controls?

[timid nacelle]

So I guess we’re just gonna have to wait for some patch for this whole infinite load screen bs, I have 100 hours in, everything was fine, and since yesterday I haven’t been able to login…

[vernal heron]

Could be that your save is corrupted. Did you back up your R5 file before you used mods?

I'd suggest deleting the file and replacing it with the backup if you did

Otherwise uninstall and reinstall

[iron ridge]

Guys if you look around the different channels in here there is a ton of help. Not everyone of you will get answers to just you. I have pointed people over and over the the channel where you have some answers by the devs. #1493364524705775657 go have a look learn and help yourself. Or do not and do not play. Solutions are there for those that want to find them.

[timid nacelle]

I haven’t used any mods, I tried watching a video about the R5 file with the save profiles but I didn’t quite understand and didn’t want to mess anything up, I guess I can try reinstalling

[iron ridge]

Anyone that cannot see that channel go to id:customize at the top of the left column. Like any Discord choose your channels and roles.

[wise turret]

I have same issues massive hitching thought my SSD wasnt up to it, moved the game server files to a tmpfs (ramdisk) same issued occured its made sea combat unplayable

[hazy parrot]

i was gifted this game by a friend on steam. i have the steam notification, i have the email. but interacting with either one doesn not get me the game. they take me to my steam account and there is nothing. any help is appreciated.

[iron ridge]

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1497216214416490626
First thread in the channel already pointed you to folks.

[languid vigil]

It’s a server-side issue that’s been causing this since yesterday.

[vernal heron]

Honestly Nitrado is a crap host for DayZ and it's the same case for Windrose as well.

They need to take some of the money we gave them and separate from Nitrado asap

[iron ridge]

That would be a Steam issue and would not be something others could likely help with.

Could Google how to except a Steam Game that is Gifted

[hazy parrot]

understood. ive never heard back from a steam ticket in all 30 yrs of my life so, i will try that i suppose. ty.

[iron ridge]

Oh so I am not the only one? ROFL. Wait no at one point they responded told me it was my PC that was the issue. My month old PC. ROFL.
Google should have info or one of the Steam Forum chats not one for a game just Steam itself. Sorry i do not know how to do it or would help you.

[hazy parrot]

nws. any help is better than nothing at all. thx.

[languid vigil]

@woven trellis "Are you still having the issue right now?

[wise turret]

I am running on a local server and its unplayable (but wasnt at the start)

[subtle thistle]

then you pissed them off cause they get back to me in an hour

[hazy parrot]

can u ask them to get me my gift then pls n ty!

[subtle thistle]

any time you pay for a server services you get bare minimum for specs

[subtle thistle]

that is between them and the person that gifted it to you

[vernal heron]

They tell you exactly what the specs are. It's not lacking

[subtle thistle]

i have A LOT of questions

[vernal heron]

And IB has a very decent reputation

[subtle thistle]

if you pay for top tier yes but 90% here are not

[timber birch]

Message Nitrado direct on their website. We were having a ton of issues, especially while at Sea (rubber banding/lag) and since talking to them our issues have been 90% resolved.

[subtle thistle]

they must have gave ya 2 more vcpu cores and some ram then

[timber birch]

We upgraded our RAM before that conversation happened, and it didn't resolve anything. They said they moved the server into an experimental slot whatever that means

[woven trellis]

@languid vigil I'm having lunch now after testing it and I'll give you feedback soon.

[cunning void]

when i try to launch the game an error comes up saying does not support direct x12 try to run another way? what do i do ?

[vernal heron]

What did they have you do?

[timber birch]

Go into your server logs on your browser, You can find this by going to your web interface → Tools → File Browser → windrose folder → R5 → Saved → Logs → R5.log (the most recent one). and look for anything that says "Slow task" "quite slow task", that's what was happening to us.

[cunning void]

anyone here?

[timber birch]

It wasn't anything on our end, I explained the issues and they fixed it.

[wise turret]

I see that on my local server so need to know how they fixed it

[timber birch]

They got back to me within 2-3 hours.

@wise turret I am not sure how they fixed it. This is why I rent a server instead of doing local stuff because I am big dumb.

[wise turret]

Fair 🙂 I am to stingy to fork out for hosting when I have kit at home

[timber birch]

This is a line from them. "The issue is server-side database performance bottlenecks during transaction commits. This explains why all players experience it simultaneously and why RAM upgrades didn't help."

[iron ridge]

That looks like it would make sense if you know what they were talking about. ROFL.

[timber birch]

They moved my server into a different host system, whatever that means.

[iron ridge]

Running your own server locally is easy. Troubleshooting it with EA games like this with all the issues that is hard. So far I get to wait utntil it is all sorted.

[timber birch]

After they did that, our issue was resolved

[subtle thistle]

you cant fix it as its on kraken side of things and the "experimental" server means what they are working on im guessing

[cunning void]

can someone help me?

[iron ridge]

So then there are solutions out there for some of these issues if people look for them. good to know.

[iron ridge]

Depends on the type of help?

[cunning void]

will not let me launch the game says something about the directx 12

[subtle thistle]

its all backend routing

cpu throttling and memory bloat as well

[cunning void]

any ideas where to start

[iron ridge]

Ah, do you have a Windows 11 PC? I think that runs DX12 by default. With Win 10 I think you have to force it.

That is just a guess though, others here know a bit more but get busy and do not always answer.

[cunning void]

ok im looking on the windows site to see if i can run directx 12

[subtle thistle]

hello when i boot the game today it sits at this first loading screen just before the main menu and just loads indefinitely. has anyone else seen this?

[serene dome]

Granted my dedicated is a seperate ISP then my local pc im trying to connect from...uPnP is enabled on my server box

[cold whale]

The game would be golden for my group if we could hardcode the server to have zero fast travel. I highly recommend this to be a option within server admin controls

[lime topaz]

Share DXdiag report or game client log.

That message tells you the game engine did not find compatible driver/hardware for the feature set the game uses.
This also includes OS being too old and GPU driver crashing on launch.

[cunning void]

ok im trying to update drivers now

[lime topaz]

Means that your local save is likely corrupted.

[visual seal]

Heya all. I've been playing for several days just fine. But today I got a notice from Steam that said something to the effect of failed to sync single player game. The game now runs super clonky. I don't know any other way to explain that sorry. But it's like really jerky and slow. Can anyone give me some guidance? I've tried restarting my computer and that didn't work. 🙁

[subtle thistle]

verify your files on steam

[visual seal]

Could you tell me how to do that?

[subtle thistle]

right click the game go to properties and verify game files

[visual seal]

Found it. Doing that now. Thanks. Let's hope that fixes it.

It told me this:

[subtle thistle]

had to do it to mine this morning myself

[plain plank]

i cant seem to even get to the main menu just stuck in loading screen hell if i remove my local save would that do the trick?

[lime topaz]

You can try to use one of the automated backup saves the game is doing since the last hotfix from few weeks ago.
But yes, removal of the corrupted save is the only known fix for this kind of an issue.

[plain plank]

okay thank you!

[blissful stream]

uhh anyone know how to fix this?

Having slight issue, I have a gportal server set up and a code afe7f90f to join the server, it is not working, it states g server not found, I am having to manually type in the IP address, anyone know why this might be going on?

I was given a page to go to and look at FAQ's but I am not hosting this server.

anyone know a fix

[lime topaz]

Also keep in mind that older Intel integrated GPUs are not supported.

[mossy bramble]

Game wont play any audio to my earphones, only my pc speakers, anyone know a fix?

[cunning void]

DirectX 12 is not supported on your system. Try running without the -dx12 or -d3d12 command line argument.

how do i run without dx12

[lime topaz]

Not possible, again, share dxdiag or game client log as both will have the info about which part of the pipeline isn't supported on your specific PC.

@languid vigil Thanks everyone. The solutions presented worked; it was a problem with the port because the TCP+UDP port had to be 7777 and the other with UDP port had to be 7778. I had only added one at a time, but I changed it according to the solutions presented in step 1 and it worked.

My brother who is connected to the same router both via ethernet can join from his pc but when I tried to login from his pc to the game I couldnt join again. I have verified files and redownloaded the game. I also deleted my char and tried with a fresh character still couldnt join. Offline/Solo works no problem

[mossy yarrow]

Why is the game slowing down the PC while alt-tab?

[junior patio]

Are you using direct IP of the 8 digit code?

[woeful yew]

8 digit code

[junior patio]

OK I am having issues with that as well, I have a dedicated server and I am having to go in via the IP address

[lime topaz]

Your antivirus is blocking the game or you set the game executable to run as Admin.

[junior patio]

working with folks here and with gportal

[woeful yew]

what port ?

[lime topaz]

You can host it yourself (ideally on a separate machine), rent it from number of game server providers or simply host the lobby from within the game.

Dedic server guide can be found here:
https://playwindrose.com/dedicated-server-guide/

[blissful citrus]

Is it cool alto ask a question about this here?

[junior patio]

If you go to gportal, depending on how many you want on will be a different cost, there is 0 set up other than putting your server name and password if you want.

[flat tiger]

kinda erm

[junior patio]

Tide I had to restart my game, it took about 4 min to enter game,

[flat tiger]

its done this several times do i just wait it out

i verified files n all and it still doing it

[woeful yew]

I've tried now everthing and I can't play on my account but with my brothers account everything works fine same pc

[junior patio]

had a guy who had same issue he had to reload his server, something got currupted.

[woeful yew]

Even hosting doesnt work. My dedicated server is on my second pc

Only Solo works

And I can join my dedicated server with another steam account without issues

[woeful yew]

I restarted the server also still the same

[junior patio]

Is this a local sever?

[woeful yew]

its the Steam dedicated server that I host from my second pc which is connected to the same modem

[junior patio]

Ok so it is a locally ran server, I would start from scratch that is what my friend had to do,

[edgy shale]

Just a tip: If you are connecting locally to your (locally hosted dedicated server) server too, you need to make adjustments to your config (bridge-mode: host in docker stack and P2P_Proxy=your_local_ip) otherwise you get back the main menu when connecting and it will fail. (tested with indifferentbroccoli - see the README on github!)

[woeful yew]

But why can I join from another steam account?

[junior patio]

My issue is, I am with Gportal and I click on Connect to Server - I put in my code and it says it cannot find server. I can connect via IP

[woeful yew]

Yes but when I login with another steam account I can join the server without issues just with my account which worked couple hours ago I can't join

[edgy shale]

@woeful yew A GPortal is no local server, with local i mean self hosted dedicated server on own network. would need to check the logs whats happening :/

[junior patio]

Totally get it, was hoping someone would maybe know why this is not working

[edgy shale]

If you can connect via IP you have the Direct IP Connection active and not the invite code in your server settings?

[junior patio]

aye I have a code but when I try to put it in it says server not found

[edgy shale]

You can only have neither of the two modes, not both. Ive used Invite Code successfully (USE_DIRECT_CONNECTION=false, DIRECT_CONNECTION_PROXY_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0)

[edgy shale]

As far as is see you configured both invite and direct connection.. Your Server Port ist missing to work with Direct Connection (SERVER_PORT=7777 is default)
Also DirectConnectionServerAddress is not used, should be DirectConnectionProxyAddress ?

[raw storm]

is there any param exposed to increase the max number of bells here?

[junior patio]

I do not know this is what Gportal had set up?

[junior patio]

Will ask them

[tribal oriole]

What FPS should I be looking to achieve with an RTX 3080 and an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D ?

And why am I getting 70 FPS in my base with every single setting set to low, with DLSS Balanced?

And in HWInfo, my GPU Core Load is "locked" to 97% usage

[subtle thistle]

turn off dlss and turn on fsr its more optimized thus far in the releases

[tribal oriole]

Ok, I shall give it a try ❤️

Which upscaler type? Cuz I've been running "Ultra Performance" to combat the FPS "problems"

[twilit compass]

anyone else have the issue of beating richards and the game crashing about 15 minutes after and then get stuck in the loading screen death loop? new character no mods just base game

[subtle thistle]

that is a personal preference

[tribal oriole]

Well, anything sub "Ultra Performance" is giving me sub 60 FPS, and Native sub 40 FPS 🙁

[subtle thistle]

1080 or 1440

[tribal oriole]

1440

[subtle thistle]

i would think just performance, but again have to adjust and see what you like

[tribal oriole]

My biggest question is why doesn't it matter what I choose on the settings when it comes to GPU core load, regardless of what I choose it's still sat at 96-98% usage. That is really weird.. My CPU is just giga chilling though

[subtle thistle]

its because you have gpu bottleneck with that 3080

[tribal oriole]

This particular one, or 3080's in general?

Any login attempt results in me being returned to the game menu. The same characters can log in to other servers ok. Files verified, Steam sync forced, no VPN used. My friend has not knowingly banned me from the server.

[whole jungle]

Hello, does anyone know how I can allocate more memory to my dedicated server ?

[atomic token]

Do recently played dedicated servers just not show up in the list if you connect by ip?

[lavish sequoia]

I’ve had the same issue since around 8:20–8:35 PM 🙂 we’ll have to wait 😢

[mighty onyx]

How long do u think ?

I've turned off the tv

[midnight thistle]

I hope this is the right place to ask, but is anyone else having issues today after the update with 5120 resolution? I started playing the game yesterday and had no issues, today there is no 5120 option, the highest available resolution is 3840...

[grim depot]

Why server restart doesnt remove the stuff thats on the ground, the stuff u can pick up . Isnt that like step 1 thing to happen after restart ?

[mighty onyx]

GeForce is back ?

[mental tiger]

No

[blissful crater]

can any one plz help me why i cant join my friends server with a video or telling me in a call

[serene charm]

hei. any idea why it fails ?

[lime topaz]

The manager or the OneDrive, probably both.

Run the server in an intended environment.

help, i can't stop aiming or switch weapons. I've already tried changing slots, weapons, verifying game files, restarting, changing controls... nothing works.

I can store the weapon, but I can't aim on my own, neither with alt nor with right click.

[granite ravine]

Ok so I'm ABSOLUTELY sure at this point that when I'm sailing the seas in solo- no crashes.

But when I load into my hosted private server regardless if someone has joined yet or not, in deep and choppy waters I'm crashing.

It is ruled out that its a graphical issue and may have something to do with private game server setup kinds of things. I am not that tech savvy ofc but idk this might help find a solution.

I'm taking suggestions too.
I'm playing on a steam deck which is supposed to- according to people online work pretty well with windrose

[wary cosmos]

I crash sometimes in my server but never when I play solo, they just need a few stability patches

nothing on your end just a game in EA

[hasty cedar]

Got a 3060 and decent specs, except I have 16GB of RAM

The game has constantly crashed for the last few hours

Different reasons but mainly the low VRAM error which I know it can't be

I'm going to now try turning off framegen after putting my settings down to medium and ultra performance

Which didn't seem to help

[charred echo]

Any recommended approach to reboot Dedi server or to stop it? Other than killing task in t manager?

[pastel flame]

Anyone know any fixes for this issue? Ive tried restarting the game, steam and the pc and it still dosnt work, i am stuck on loading screen until it crashes.

[urban shard]

Hey, since yesterday the game wont see my world i host to play with a friend, i checked the steam cloud saves and they're there, but I cant get the game to read it even after a reinstall, any advice?

[abstract holly]

Anyone cannot get into the game? After selecting the World. my game just sits on Loading screen, and after 5-10 minutes it goes back to main menu and the only option is "Quit"

[celest cairn]

question: my friends are currently hosting a game and its really laggy (were 5 players)
will making a server instead of hosting will fix the issue ?

[atomic token]

youll probably trade lag for it crashing every 10 mins

[prisma frost]

can someone help me get past this screen so I can play the game again?

[atomic token]

at least thats what happened with us

[fleet steeple]

I am having problems with getting the first ship i have all the stuff needed to fix it and have rescued the crew, am i having a bug?

[abstract holly]

I have the same issue. Looking around, but I havent found a solution yet.

[prisma frost]

Please please please if you find a solution let me know and Ill do the same

[abstract holly]

how long have you had the issue? Mine was working up until 5pm EST. Its also Teusday, and could be Steam update.

[mystic vigil]

soooo.. is it a known issue that for people with a bit older pcs that larger player build structured can cause frame drops?

[inland arrow]

Currently having issues when playing co-op with buddy after about 10 mins itll suddenly freeze and i have to use task manager to shut down the game. has anyone had this issue?

[whole halo]

Hi all, I've recently built a fresh PC with AMD hardware. I'm getting a UE5 Game Fatal Error crash on Windrose and Expedition 33

I've tried a few things to fix it with no luck.
I tested my PC in 3dmark and cinebench and had good results with no hiccups and healthy temps.
CPU: Ryzen 9 9950X3D
GPU: Gigabyte 9070 XT Aorus Elite
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30
Motherboard: Gigabyte X870 Aorus Stealth ATX AM5

I've verified game files, installed DDU to remove drivers and re install them, tried turning off EXPO in bios, RE-SIZE BAR in bios, turning off background apps like icue, GCC, Discord, etc. I've tried running the games .exe as administrator and oddly enough windrose gets stuck in a boot loop when I do that. I have the DirectX up to date, microsoft visual C++ Redistributables up to date too. The crashes always happen within a few minutes.

Other games like Battlefield 6 and riot games work completely fine. Sorry if this topic has been covered already

[sullen compass]

This can happen when the game is having an issue reconciling your player profile. The easy annswer is to remove that player profile from your computer and restore one of the backups - i would chose based on the time 2nd closest to you failed loginnnn
ENSURE YOUR GAME IS NOT RUNNNING.

1. Navigate to the Players folder: %LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles<SteamID>\RocksDB<Version>\Players\
2. Removed the folder with your Player_ID . (backup anything you touch , if you are not sure what you are doing, first!
3. Navigate to %LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles<SteamID_backups, copy the folder whose name matches the one you removed inn he first step
4. Paste that copy into: %LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles<SteamID>\RocksDB<Version>\Players\
   Start your game and login - you will have lost sime progress..but its better than starting over

[delicate helm]

could someone help walk me through on how to transfer a save file to my dedicated server file, please and thank you

[prisma frost]

Will let you know if this fixes it! Thank you!

[sullen compass]

If you have an issue doing the work ping me direct; if I am not in game I will walk you through it.

[prisma frost]

I don’t have a saved file past R5

[rustic sparrow]

anyone know a fix to stutters

[sullen compass]

you a looking in the wrong place......C:/users/yourloginneme/appdata is where you should start

[pure anchor]

ue5 is pain.. 200W at ultra performance dlss.. i can not play if i look at trees lol

[prisma frost]

I don’t have an AppData:/

[pure anchor]

press WIN + R and enter %appdata%

then u normaly land in appdata/roaming.. just go a folder back from there

[prisma frost]

Empty for me

[pure anchor]

win + r .. i am tired lol

[sullen compass]

meet me in that channel i will walk you through it

[pure anchor]

if appdata is emtpy.. ur pc is wrecked lol

[whole halo]

Is this a pretty universal experience haha?

[prisma frost]

Nah you got me in, you’re a genius

[prisma frost]

Delete these and then start game correct?

[sullen compass]

attaboy

not those

[sullen compass]

those you keep

[wind token]

Know for a damn fact the system in question is DirectX 12 capable.

[sullen compass]

goto rockdb

then the folder with the numbers

0.10.0

then players

[prisma frost]

Okay I’m following you

I’m in players

[sullen compass]

then show me that folders contents

[sullen compass]

perfect

cut and paste that folder onto your desktop for safekeeping

[prisma frost]

Okay done, I swear I’m computer smart just not that smart😂😂 players folder is now empty

[sullen compass]

noww go back to the folder that had your steamID _ backup

[prisma frost]

Logs or SaveProfiles?

[prisma frost]

Okay I’m there

[sullen compass]

how many folders in there/

[prisma frost]

10

[sullen compass]

tthey are name based on time

show me

[sullen compass]

when was the last time the gamew worked for you?

[prisma frost]

Last Saturday

[sullen compass]

wait you have had this issuie 3 days?

[prisma frost]

Yea I haven’t been able to login since then

[sullen compass]

olden the oldest folder...

[sullen compass]

show me whats in the oldest folder...

[sullen compass]

Given you have no saves before your game failure... lets cross our fingers for luck.......open 0.10.0

thennnn open players

[sullen compass]

copy that folder

and paste it where we deleted the other one

[prisma frost]

Done

[gilded path]

I probably should have thought about this prior to doing it, but oh well, does anyone know a fix for when I played on the x100 drops server, loading back into my single player it infinitely loads

[sullen compass]

Start her up...

[prisma frost]

Alright will report back after the 4 hour load screen

[sullen compass]

If it takes too long then your backsups are borked as welll. and you will have to start from scratch.

It should be no more than 4 minnntes...

[prisma frost]

Idc about restarting lol I just wanna play the game I paid money for😭😭

[sullen compass]

aH! Now you tell me!!! That is a quick fix! Delete everything past %LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\

If you delete SavedProfiles and all its subfolders the game will log you onto the NEW CHARACTER page

[ashen pawn]

I had this problem yesterday. I'll try and find my post one sec

[sullen compass]

Its square - i have help fix this a dozen times... IBut post it for the next Joe.

[ashen pawn]

"Figured it out. It seems there was a player deep in the SaveProfiles folder that for some reason was causing the infinite loading screen. Deleting that specific player restored functionality to my Ally X. I will say though it seems steam doesn't recognize removing it as changing the files so it keeps reuploading the corrupt player. Anyways hope this helps someone else in the future"

[sullen compass]

Turn off the steam cloud save for the game its its steam proprties, to circumvent that part.

[rocky forge]

Hey what is happening with Windrose recently; I played yesterday, all fine.
Today, launch is OK, I go to my owned server, and it BSOD me, telling me windows need repairs.
Finally, all is good, but I noticed it's linked to HEAVY SSD spike, can't do much on that.
Have anyone do something about it ? Are the dev aware of this ?

I can't think of anything needing multiple Go/s of SSD usage for a game. Even at loading point, i'd prefer a slower loading if it doesnt burn my hardware ...

[ashen pawn]

Go to search at the bottom of the screen type %appdata% and click on that. Go back one page to where it says local locallow and roaming. Click on local. Scroll down to R5 then saved then SaveProfiles then the one that isn't the backup then RocksDB and then 0.10.0 then players and save this file before you do anything. Turn off steam cloud. Go into the file and delete the files one at a time and restoring it once you've found it doesn't fix it. I had to remove two profiles to fix the problem

Once you remove a profile start the game and see if it works. If it didn't work restore the profile and try another.

[sullen compass]

I have had success restoring backup profiles but you have to ensure the DTG stamp is prior to your failure ..otherwise just delete everything past the ../R5/Saves and create new toons.

[ashen pawn]

I'm in no problem with my character and everything. Just unfortunately have to delete those two files every time I play but hey I got my stuff back and it's working I call that a success

[sullen compass]

The lonng then failed login is a timeout after the gmaes gives up on repairing the DB; normally a poinnter.

[prisma frost]

Okay so that didn’t work, so for a total start over I just delete the save profiles folder?

[sullen compass]

Thattaboy...

Onnnnce youtold me your saves were newer than your failure, it was up to the gods at that point.

delete everything PAST Saves

delete SAVEPROFILES

do not removed the savce folder only its child...

[prisma frost]

Okay I removed red headed step child

NO WAY

[sullen compass]

restart -- you will up innn 3 ticks.

[prisma frost]

IT WORKED

YOU ATE MY HERO SIR

[sullen compass]

ATTABOY....

[prisma frost]

Thankyou so much fr

If there’s any devs for the game in this chat, please make this dude mod or something lol

[sullen compass]

now you can help the next guy.

[prisma frost]

I can help you now bro

[sullen compass]

Great job...pay it forward....Good luck, cya around

[abstract holly]

Im reading from the top

[prisma frost]

Not all heroes wear capes, thank you again bro have a blessed night

[sullen compass]

Ditto kiddo.

[abstract holly]

I'll have to translate all of this in Steam OS/linux coz thats what I use

[prisma frost]

PM me if you need any further help, easiest way is to just delete SAVEPROFILES, but ONLY IF YOU DONT CARE ABOUT RESTARTING

[prisma frost]

Oh boy😭😭😭

I have a little bit of coding knowledge, used Linux here and there along with Python and Git, I assume it would be same procedure kinda? Just access SAVEPROFILES thru the COMMAND Prompt or Ubuntu and boom?😅😅

[whole halo]

Has anyone had these issues?

[sullen compass]

Imma start with obnvious have tried reinstalling UE5

[wraith lark]

internet dies still when i open this game, i use spectrum and have security shield turned off

[sullen compass]

then imma ask have you validated your files?

[whole halo]

No I don't have UE5 installed I think? I thought it was a developer tool, not needed to play the games :l

I've verified the game files, also tried a full uninstall

[sullen compass]

Have you tried clearing your directx Shader cache..its known to be the culprit.

[whole halo]

ill give that a crack thanks

[sullen compass]

goog luck.

[wraith lark]

Can anyone help me figure out why I can no longer launch this game without my internet dying.
I've played numerous times before this just fine, but trying to play the last 2 days if I just launch the game internet cuts out.
I have spectrum and that wasn't an issue before, I've tried turning off security shield and port forwarding just incase and still running into this issue.
I have reinstalled and verified files, rebooted the computer and modem and router multiple times.
Have reset the adapter and reconnected internet, made sure it is allowed past firewall, have even disabled firewall at one point.
Did a dns flush, cleared steam download cache, I've tried numerous different ways and it still isn't working.

Has anyone else run into this problem?

[still trail]

internet dying is vague - is your pc losing connection, router, or modem when it happens?

[wraith lark]

pc is losing connection, everything in the house is still connected just fine

[still trail]

are you connected wireless or wired?

[wraith lark]

wireless

[still trail]

ok this is going to sound off topic but it's not - exclusive fullscreen or borderless windowed?

if exclusive, try swapping to borderless and test for me, see if it stops happening.

(and I assume 5 ghz connection)

[tawdry meadow]

My friend is continuously crashing/disconnecting from Dedicated server... any ideas?

[merry anvil]

The game does not like to run using mobile hotspot internet connection.

Also it doesn't really like using NordVPN

[wraith lark]

tried both borderless fullscreen and windowed and still running into same issue where internet is just dying

[still trail]

hmmm

probably not the bug I thought it was but you could try the fix anyways if you want.

[wraith lark]

like its trying to work but it was basically the same as before

[still trail]

I've seen this before when channel width set to 160Mhz for the 5GHz (not sure of the actual cause behind that) and exclusive fullscreen and it kills your connection entirely. You could try going into your wireless adapter settings (Start, Wifi Settings, Hardware Properties, more adapter options), configure, advanced tab, Channel Width for 5Ghz, and changing it from Auto to 80Mhz or 20Mhz, whatever setting it has.

honestly probably won't fix it in this case, since swapping off fullscreen didn't, but can't hurt to check

[wraith lark]

that seemed to have worked

[still trail]

...

well that's a first. never seen that windows bug happen WITHOUT exclusive fullscreen, but I'm glad it fixed it!

[deep sequoia]

So im hosting a dedicated server and I saw there was some sort of temp patch for users who use docker to prevent the cpu killer bug. Is there way to get it to work without the use of docker?

[wraith lark]

its not dying immediately

[still trail]

OLD windows bug, idk how it's still a thing, been fixing this since win11 released lol

instead, they somehow they made it even worse. lol. microsoft for ya.

[still trail]

have a link?

I could tear it open and see if I can see what's doing it

(also, cpu killer bug?)

been running a server bare metal since launch, haven't had cpu issues really

[deep sequoia]

There's a bug with dedicated servers that cause cpu cores to throttle up to 100% when no one is in the server

And i saw someone have a solution, but people are using docker to host their servers. I just have another PC for server related stuff for games.

[still trail]

ahhh. mine definitely hits higher load, but not capped. (nevermind, those cores are actually capped, yeah) and yeah if you have a link to the docker I can check it out

[atomic pilot]

Hello, can anyone help me with a directx 12 is not supported issue? I know my pc is directx 12 capable and ive already run through all the basic checks, verified game files, checked for system and driver updates, . . . still getting the same message when i try to run the game

[still trail]

that patch doesn't appear to be limited to docker in any way, it patches the windrose binary from what I see

[deep sequoia]

So a simple run and its fine?

[still trail]

can't hurt to try. back up the binary to be safe.

[deep sequoia]

Gotcha

[still trail]

just download that py file specifically and follow the usage note

[deep sequoia]

Yeah i just wanted something to prevent my cpu from taking damage

Idk when the next update will finally pop, but I have friends who want to play whenever im not online

[still trail]

100% util won't damage a cpu, temp will if it's not properly cooled, but it should cool normally and throttle if it gets too hot regardless

still, not a bad idea to fix the issue, but you shouldn't have to worry about damage even without it.

[deep sequoia]

Just not a fan of seeing isolated cores going 100% util and the sound of my fans blowing over night

[still trail]

absolutely valid

[deep sequoia]

Even my Minecraft servers never got to that point

Thanks! I'll take a look once I get home

[dusty coral]

Any fix for the UE5 fatal error crash yet? this is pretty horrible

[still trail]

yeah, I'm used to mine running hot, it's in a tiny case (x300w deskmini) and I usually run 3-5 different servers at once on it lol

windrose is running its cores at 100% but it's still not getting above 70C so I haven't given it another thought

k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Tctl:         +63.1°C

[whole halo]

I'm still trying to fix mine. I've been getting help from an AMD tech but still no luck

[tender laurel]

Question? I have a dedicated server it's a Poweredge R710 with 256gb of ram and 2x Intel Xeon chips. How would I make a dedicated host with that so I can invite friends and mod and such?

[still trail]

windows or linux?

[hushed hawk]

Windows

[tender laurel]

Windows.

[still trail]

you want steamcmd, should be able to use winget for that, sec

[hushed hawk]

We did that

[hushed hawk]

Watched about 5 vids on it and AI'd it lol

It isn't creating a proper .JSON file or the .bat file isn't opening the server cmd

[still trail]

don't trust chatgpt rofl. just run the batch file or executable, let it run a sec, then close it. you'll get two files.

[hushed hawk]

I did.

It isn't creating any

[still trail]

settings files don't exist?

[hushed hawk]

Or the JSON yeah

For like, the server code

[still trail]

same thing. sounds like it's not running. hm. are you getting errors on the server?

[hushed hawk]

It isn't even showing up lol

[still trail]

running the batch file didn't bring up a console?

[hushed hawk]

It opens for a 1/4 sec then closes

[still trail]

try running the executable directly then, it'll be in R5/Binaries/Win64/WindroseServer-Win64-Shipping.exe

[hushed hawk]

I did lol...

[still trail]

what's the log say?

[hushed hawk]

Did the same as the batch, opens then closes instantly

[still trail]

ok - so what does the log say?

[hushed hawk]

Nothing.

[still trail]

R5/Saved/Logs/R5.log is empty entirely?

[hushed hawk]

THere wasnt even a saved folder lol

[still trail]

interesting. open a command prompt then try running the file from there, so you can see the output instead of it closing on you.

[hushed hawk]

Let me do it all again and then SS it and show you

[humble onyx]

Yo does anyone know what happens to your world if you stop paying for a server? Does it do a full reset of the world or does it save everything and just needs to be repurchased to get everything back?

[hushed hawk]

Just repurchase

[still trail]

that will depend on your host.

[hushed hawk]

I would absolutley not use Nitrado.

[still trail]

some just delete, some save the data until you come back.

in all though, you should be able to download your world and keep it on you

[humble onyx]

GPortal is what I am using

[still trail]

gportal has ftp access to your servers, you can absolutely download your world folder for a local backup

get your ftp credentials then a program capable of ftp like winscp, connect, download the folder, boom

[still trail]

any luck running it in a console so it don't close the window on you?

[hushed hawk]

Gotta redo the whole process again hold up

[still trail]

ahh

[humble onyx]

awesome news! Thanks for the help!

[still trail]

no problem, and to be clear, your world files are transferrable between dedi and non, so you could even download your world and self-host or play it single player if you ever stopped paying

[hushed hawk]

Doin the whole "force install" rn

Okay, so. I am in the "windrose-server" file

I open "StartServerForeground" and it shuts down instantly.

[still trail]

yeah ignore that one. I'd open a command prompt, cd to the actual shippin executable, run that there.

[hushed hawk]

Like the PC cmdpt?

What's the command for it do you know?

[humble onyx]

By chance is there a way to sync up quest progress? I played 6~ hours solo and then joined a fresh server (the above server mentioned) and it transferred all my progress into the server. Would I have had to of deleted stuff in my save folder before starting in this server for an actual fresh start?

[still trail]

command prompt would just be cmd

executable would be [install location]/R5/Binaries/Win64/WindroseServer-Win64-Shipping.exe -log

[still trail]

quest progress and POI completion are saved by char, not world.

[humble onyx]

ah okay

[still trail]

doesn't matter what world you join, your char will always have the same stuff completed - a side effect of exp only being gained by those two

[hushed hawk]

You able to make a VC Fade? For one reason or another I'm confused lmao

Or I can

[ivory tide]

Hello.
Is there any way to see one's own AccountID? I want to create a whitelist based on each player's AccountID. I know I can see it in the logs, but how can people who haven't yet joined the server find it?

[mighty mauve]

can someone help me get my server up with my solo world imported? I tried filezilla and winscp, then tried nitrado and am now on bisect hosting but when I launch my server, It either crashes my game or kicks me back to the main menu (thats what usually what happens)

[whole dew]

my buddy is running a dedicated server on docker on a good server pc. Land combat is ok, water is unplayable stutters/lag. no fps drop

any ideas? others having this?

[sudden ember]

My world won't load anymore. I can start a new one and it works fine. I've tried several fixes but nothing is working. Am I just cooked? I'd be losing 77 hours of progress

[ivory tide]

If you are talking about melee combat on ships, which is common, it goes very badly.
or literally walk on the ship.

[ivory tide]

Create another world and replace the save

[lime topaz]

Which exact xeons and which exact host and guest OS ?

[whole dew]

i mean even the boat in the water, everything is horribly stuttery

even watching boats from they shore

they are all jerky

[sudden ember]

How do I do that?

[gilded path]

I probably should have thought about this prior to doing it, but oh well, does anyone know a fix for when I played on the x100 drops server, loading back into my single player it infinitely loads, did I bork my character? lol

[ivory tide]

I know not is a dedicated server but is the same process

[ivory tide]

Mod is server or client side?

[gilded path]

I dont know, I connected to the 100x that is from the VC here, I never downloaded any mods or applied

But my character went over there for some resources and now I cant load my own solo game.

[sudden ember]

Well I don't have a backup thats not corrupted anymore because I tried loading the world too many times during attempted fixes

that kinda just ruined the game for me :/

[ivory tide]

It does not matter, just create a new world and replace the files; some people have solved it that way.

Same problem when you enter in other server/world?

[ivory tide]

Do you know if the stack of objects exceeded the normal number?

[gilded path]

Yes they did lol, I am guessing that is the reason why?

[lime topaz]

Provide both the full dxdiag report and the game client log files.
Looking at the first page of DXdiag won't tell you actual Feature Level compliance.

[sudden ember]

No, I can load into other worlds fine. I just tried to overwrite the files on a new one and it kicks me back to menu after like 5 seconds of loading

[woeful yew]

mine is worse I can't join with my account but others can join

when i enter the password for the dedicated server it loads for about 20-40 seconds and then shuts down the game

[ivory tide]

What I would do in your case is:

1. Rejoin the server and disable anything that isn't in the vanilla game.

2. Go to Nexusmods and download the tool or mod that allows you to have larger stacks; that might be the solution.

[ivory tide]

If you create another character, you can join in this world?

[sudden ember]

My problem is just this one world. my character is fine and can join other worlds including ones I've made. When you say replace the files, do you mean just the "worlds" file or the entire backup save file

[ivory tide]

Only the world save

Only the folder of you world save in WORLDS

[sudden ember]

It's just not working for me. It still either loads the world for a few seconds and then goes back to the menu or crashes

[ivory tide]

Can you send me your save world to try?

[gilded path]

What is the max stack for piastri?

[ivory tide]

9999

[gilded path]

I was like 90% sure it was higher than that

Cause IIRC in my vanilla server I had 12k stack at some point

[gilded path]

I think I found the issue, the server with higher max stacks had a mod that let you progress past 15, although you stay lvl 15 your skill points and talents kept increasing

[gilded path]

And I think that borked my character unfortunately, so I made a new one and am able to play normally, I guess I just have to have a character that transfers mats

[charred echo]

Hey yall whats the cleanest way to stop/reboot the server without just closing the terminal or task prompt end task?

[ivory tide]

If you reset the points, does it give you more than you should?

[ivory tide]

If you are using Windrose Dedicated server tool in steam, you cant use commands

this only display logs/information

[charred echo]

Yeah im just doing a SteamCMD install with RunServerForeground to run the server, considering most management tools seem laggy and broken Lol

[gilded path]

Yeah unfortunately

[gilded path]

I think the character is just borked but thats totally fine lol I dont mind, Ill just have fun going through the quests again and re-looting everything on my main island

[whole dew]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFY-cB2-sHc

here is the ocean stutter im talking about, only playing on someones dedicated server. smooth on land, unplayable on water

figure its just a needed game patch?

happens to a few of us on server, not others

butter in single player

almost like rubberbanding...

[ivory tide]

Perhaps you can fix it with a mod or value editing tool? 🤔

[ivory tide]

In all servers?

[whole dew]

thats the thing, im not sure, can anyone DM me a server and ill just hop on real quick? feel free to ban me after?

[gilded path]

Mayhaps, I would like to get him back, maybe if I can rollback or value edit the amount of stats and talents he has, but am too lazy to figure it out rn lmao

[ivory tide]

f235b56a

Coop host not dedicated server

[whole dew]

worth checking

[whole dew]

its totally smooth

[ivory tide]

We could test now on a dedicated server.

[whole dew]

sure, if you dont mind!

[whole dew]

seems fine also. i guess its his server. seeing other complaints online too. maybe because its running in a docker

Hey I'm having a weird issue with Discord in this server specifically, So in the Tortuga voice channel I cant hear anyone and no one can hear me but if i join any other channel in this server that issue dissapears entirely, i hear mute deafen join leave notifications and all of my audio stuff is setup right, ive restarted the app the pc i just wonder if a mod maybe changed a setting or albeit highly unlikely changed my perms on a user level not a role level? idk any ideas would be helpful cause i use this channel every day no issues till i just got back from dinner lol

thanks for helping @ivory tide

Hello. I cannot load the game. I was playing fine in the playtests. Not sure what's up.
I click "play" in steam, and after a few seconds a black or white (depends on?) screen appears for a couple minutes and then "The UE-R5 Game has crashed and will close." and I can hear waves and seaguls. I searched here for others but haven't found anything.
I am on Linux CachyOS
I've already rebooted and restarted steam
I've got the latest drivers for my Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti
Verified my game files in Steam
Uninstalled and reinstalled
tried with Compatibility on and off.
Not sure what else I can do.

[tacit granite]

Hi I'm trying to play with my friend but every time he gets through the opening cutscene it kicks him back to the menu. How do we fix that?

[woeful yew]

Hey Folks,

Since yesterday night when they released the news on steam about the future updates I can't join my own dedicated server anymore, after trying to join the world it loads for about 30s and then the game shuts down.

What I tried so far and still couldn't Join:

-Created a new character
-Created a new dedicated Server
-To host a game directly (Couldn't create)
-login from another pc
-Use a different internet connection
-logged in with another steam ID (I could join the world)

Other friends can join the server and only experience a bit of performance decrease.

I can join my solo world but nothing online.

Thanks in advance for anyone who is trying to help

[abstract saddle]

Hi, I have an issue with loading my save. I have a solo world, but when I try to load it, it just keeps loading and nothing happens. I can wait a very long time, but it still doesn’t work. Is there any way to repair the save?

[whole halo]

Anyone know how to fault find for crashes on here?

[hushed latch]

Any ideas on how to stop a random flash bloom effect that is only happening on my large furnace? It is not mod related as it started happening in vanilla with no mods. I have made sure my GPU Drivers are up to date, verified game files via Steam, reset all in game settings to default, used the "auto config" button in the video settings tab, turned on FSR and turned it off, I do not know what else to try to stop these very random occurrences of the top of my large furnaces glowing more than the surface of the sun blinding the crap outta me. Check the below screenshot for visual details about what's happening.

If I leave render distance on foot, or via fast travel, or on my ship, the bloom thingy goes away and is gone when I return. It is so random that I never know when or if it is going to happen, so I have no idea how to recreate it. Please help.

[brittle summit]

@edgy shale hey, quick question re #🚧│tech-support message⁠ -

My friends were able to connect, but I had trouble connecting to my locally hosted dedicated server using the indifferentbroccoli docker.

Once I made the changes listed in the README I was able to connect, thanks for the tip, I should have finished reading the README.

However, now my friends outside the LAN aren't able to connect, similar issue where I see them show up for 1 second in-game, then they get disconnected.

Any ideas on how to fix that?

[rigid pollen]

can not get past the loading screen

[neon ginkgo]

Anyone else get crashes with an error saying not enough video memory? i have had it a couple of times but im running a RTX 4080 super so it shouldnt really be an issue right?

[slate shell]

There does not seem to be a dedicated channel for technical suggestions however is there any way the devs can put in some kind of alert that warns players of an immininet server update? Nothing more jarring than being unceremoniusly dumped mid-battle!

[lime topaz]

Pinging you as well: Which exact Intel Xeon and which exact host and guest OS ?
The dedic server package have certain minimum hardware (AVX) and software (DirectX runtimes, vcredist 2022) requirements.

[hushed hawk]

I got it all sorted bossman. Just doing a dedicated on my personal PC lol

[lime topaz]

There's an in-game Feedback button on main menu and now a website for feedback as well as bug reporting:
https://windrose.support

[hushed hawk]

The original idea was too old. ‘09 resources lol

My dedicated (windrose dedicated server on steam) works pretty damn good. Then again I got a higher end PC so idk

[hushed hawk]

Never see this happen tbh. Do you have an external app or anything like ReShade?

[lime topaz]

Or an HDR monitor / HDR in-game / HDR overrides in OS or drivers ^

[hushed hawk]

^

My monitor used to go into “ultra sharp HDR” and it made games look like doooooggggg. See if that’s the case @hushed latch

[woeful yew]

Can anyone DM a server where I can join to test if it is my server or my account

[crimson wind]

So for some reason, I cant connect to the dedicated server my friend and I use. It sits in a greyed out state. I can connect to solo and host servers but cant connect to the dedicated.

[edgy shale]

did you check the part "LAN connection" ? You need to change network:mode: host in docker and set P2P_PROXY_ADDRESS to your local IP address. worked for me, but tested locally for now. https://github.com/indifferentbroccoli/windrose-server-docker#lan-connections

[brittle summit]

I did that, it works for me personally, I can connect now. However, my friends outside the LAN are not able to connect anymore (they were able to connect before I changed network:mode: host in docker and set P2P_PROXY_ADDRESS to my local IP address)

[edgy shale]

did you check your port forwarding now ? since it might be another local IP, i will test that.

[brittle summit]

Hmm, I have 7777 forwarded to the local address of the host running docker on the LAN in the router settings (like I had before, I figured it was necessary for outside connections, and indeed friends were able to connect). I think the local IP is still the same with those new settings, wouldn't network_mode: host make that even more strict (portainer doesn't even show an IP for the container)?

[edgy shale]

yes, i see the connection dont *even gets to the server from outside.

[gentle silo]

Guys, can you tell me what the error is in the game? I reinstalled it. The error didn't even go away.

[lime topaz]

Have you played the game before ? If not, share dxdiag or game client log.

[blissful stirrup]

what to do when fishing challenge ring fell to ocean cause of full inventory?

[gentle silo]

No, I didn't play it, I just downloaded it

[lime topaz]

Share the full game log or dxdiag report.

However I can already say that one of your system components (OS, GPU driver or the GPU) is below minimum requirements, that's what the message tells you.

[edgy shale]

okay find the solution: you need to USE_DIRECT_CONNECTION=true and connect via IP/DynDNS:7777 ingame otherweise the game uses EOS (EpicOnline Service) or AWS and do dynamic ports trought NAT which is not working.

[brittle summit]

I tried this as well, but I couldn't get it to work. What did you use for DIRECT_CONNECTION_PROXY_ADDRESS your WAN-IP/DynDNS? Still using network_mode: host?

[edgy shale]

I use DIRECT_CONNECTION_PROXY_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0 to bind for any interface and network_mode: host, P2P_PROXY_ADDRESS=192.168.2.3 and USE_DIRECT_CONNECTION=true - will continue checking

[brittle summit]

This worked for me connecting with the WAN-IP and DynDNS as well, but this still may be all local. I'll ask friends to try in a few hours. Thank you for the help, looking promising! I think DIRECT_CONNECTION_PROXY_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0 is the key.

[edgy shale]

I've tested it via USB Tethering and it worked too. Sad its a bit complicated.

[iron nimbus]

Solo game keeps stuttering and sometimes crashes. Any suggestions to fix the issue?

[hushed latch]

I don't have any Reshade nor do I have a HDR monitor.

[subtle thistle]

@edgy shale i made a simple tool that checks all your ports for you and tells you what is blocking

Hello. I tried to play this game with friends, but i cant. Every time i try, my router resets, but the weird thing is if i disable the router firewall i can play, but my computer is exposed like that. Anyone having the same issue?

[blissful crater]

me i have the same thing i need help i have a friend too have same problem

[unkempt pendant]

We tried another world and that works. (I have stronger PC than my GF, so I am the one hosting the coop game). But when we tried another world, it works

Our main world (a lot of hours in)... She cant connect. I tried backups and everything from FAQ and nothing seems to work.

[blissful crater]

ok my friend have 5060ti and a good pc i cant join him he cant join me we cant join others

[unkempt pendant]

Have you tried the Cloudflare WARP?

[blissful crater]

i dont know what is that

[blissful crater]

i have added u can you help me plz ?

[unkempt pendant]

Its in their FAQ. It's a program that you download and just activate it to get "private" network connection. That fixed our first issue.

Helped the guy. Cloudflare WARP fixed it for them.

[tawny yoke]

For the Dedicated Server, can my friends open the same world in their computers even if I don't open my computer (where we installed the dedicated server)

[tranquil sierra]

Is there a way to limit the ram usage of the dedicated server? I don't have a ton of ram available and would like to restrict it to only 2 players which says 8gb of ram

[barren ruin]

hi the game worked great before. i tried playing on an ASUS rog ally x and it ran fine on the console but i preferred to go back to my PC and now the game doesn't load after launching from steam. it gets past the unreal logo and then loads for a very long time (much longer than before). i am curently trying to re install the game hope it helps
UPDATE: re- installing the game didn't help

John missing from camp. Is there a way to force spawn?

[rain hazel]

they don't approve new posts, i posted one 24 hours ago and still nothing

here very detailed and clean example:

Crew capture and prisoner management system
The game currently lacks a deeper system for what happens after boarding enemy ships.
I suggest adding a system where surviving crew can be: Recruited into your fleet (for patrols or defense)
Assigned to your base as workers (farming, resource gathering, etc.)
Exchanged or released for reputation, rewards, or other benefits
This could be tied to a base NPC or facility (e.g., a “Crew Manager” or “Quartermaster”) that unlocks through progression or quests.
Players could then assign captured or rescued individuals to different roles, adding a layer of management and long-term progression.
This system would: Give more purpose to boarding mechanics Add strategic decision-making after combat

i got 5 major ideas and every single one don't get approved.
i do hope devs look into the main menu feedback because its the only hope to be heard

[raw plover]

This is tech support channel not recommendations 🙄

[rain hazel]

ping mod to remove it

[barren ruin]

update 2 the game finlay got past the loading screen but instead of the main menu i got only the background and a quit botton. also i created a new post in game support channel on the ame issue in case this one is not the right place for this

[raw plover]

Are you carrying around the endless bag full of stuff? I found that that was one of the major issues I have been loading into worlds.

[barren ruin]

the issue isn't loading into a world but loading the game itself. i can't get to the main menu ( it can't be a HW issue because the game ran perfectly before)

[proper rampart]

I need some help with a server i am hosting on an Oracle Cloud instance (arm 4core 24gb).
I am using this docker: https://github.com/falcononrails/windrose-arm64-server
It runs, but I am unable to connect through the invite code.
Connecting to the public IP seems to work, but I can use any port and it is not asking for the password.

[stray pier]

Do you have both direct connect and invite code enabled at the same time?

[proper rampart]

no

i am restarting a new instance, so its all fresh

its downloading the game now

[stray pier]

Im experimenting with running a server in a docker container. I got the invite code to work after an hour and in the end relizing that i forgot to change the code from changeme lol. Now i have other problems

[proper rampart]

you can make up your own code?

[stray pier]

Yea, it must be at least 6 charecters long

[proper rampart]

first i want to get this running 😛

[stray pier]

if you gonna have you own code just add INVITE_CODE=yourcodehere in the .env file 😉

[proper rampart]

i don't know if that works with this container

ah looks like it works now

[stray pier]

Ay nice

[proper rampart]

at least, im hoping 😛

the generated invite code worked

[stray pier]

Hell yeah

[proper rampart]

the env INVITE_CODE doesn't work with this container

guess i'll manually edit it

[tribal aurora]

can somo ne quick help ^^ would be great

[lime topaz]

Did you provide dxdiag report yet ?

[mossy summit]

Elaborate

Hope I'm wasting nobodies time with this

But even if it's in Early Access, I still want to play the game

[lime topaz]

Brace yourself :
The message tells you your PC is in one or more ways below minimum software or hardware requirements, that's what the message means.

in Windows, you can generate a dxdiag report which lists your hardware and DirectX driver components, so it neatly has all the info necessary for folks like me to tell you which of the components is not meeting the requirements.

[pliant gulch]

Can anyone help me with the infinite loading screen? I already Tried deleting the save profiles in the r5 folder that worked but now i don't have my character. Need help please

[lime topaz]

There is no point in hiding stuff when I need the full report, brother.

Besides there are no personally identifiable information there.

I was on last night on the server im part of now its not showed it and all the diffrent area servers all say N/A

Driver Date/Size: 8/26/2019 8:00:00 PM
Your AMD graphics driver is 7 years out of date and below minimum supported version (at minimum you need driver from like 2022 or 2023 for this game).

Manually download appropriate driver for your RX5700 XT from the official amd.com website.

[mossy summit]

Okay. Only issue is that my PC is a rental

Hey so I have a corrupted world, I lost all the backups do to having to reinstall windows. Is there another way to fix the corrupted world? Will there be a tool that can find the corrupt file and potentially restore it? Or am I SOL and send that world to the dustbin?

[simple verge]

do you have manual copy of world or only backups?

[true bay]

Seems I'm in the same boat as Icemandies, my 80hr save is corrupted and I've tried everything. The only way I can get back into the game is to load one of my old backups and start off from level 11 again. Which is very disappointing because I moved my base completely and spent hours building in a new area and everything was perfect! Everytime I load my cloud save i run into the issue so it seems like I'll need to turn off cloud save start a new game and turn on cloud save then replace it with the local save file. Which means I'll start at level 1 again. 🙁 Would anyone here have any recommendations for this fix? I'm sure a lot of us here are going through the same thing. Thank you..

[misty python]

Any updates regarding the issue rn on the rented servers just randomly disconnecting people?

[broken sphinx]

Have you tried using the character on another world? Character level/inventory/quest progress seemed to be stored separately from world saves so maybe(hopefully) you won't have to start from level one all over again if it's just the world save being problematic

[true bay]

I only have 1 character, and I can't even get passed the loading screen on my cloud save file.

[broken sphinx]

Try making another character and seeing if you can join the world with that one! Alternatively, try making a new world to join with your leveled character
Either option could be a tempfix until someone with more tech knowledge can help you out

Yes that is there error that I am getting

[urban sierra]

So fresh downloads of the game are just a black screen for me. Any help

[rose fractal]

Heya guys/lads!!! anyone experiencing this? I made my bindings and after every restart I got this... so I need to bind hotbar to random key and again back to get rid of that texts... functionality is there still... only text issue

[wary delta]

Anyone else have the issue when switching from Fullscreen to Windowed Fullscreen after latest Nvidia card update the game remains open but does not appear on screen?

[terse topaz]

any1 still stuck in the loadinscreen 4 ever?

[hidden hemlock]

Hey there! Were you bale to get this issue resolved? I'm happy to help if not! Feel free to ping/dm me. 🙂

[stone pine]

So I am hosting a server and 3 players are playing on it.
The problem is that 1 player has very weird "rubber banding" issues when building stuff. If he places something, it takes up to 20 second for it to appear on his screen. The strange thing is, the platform he want to place appears instantly for all other players. He can place like 10 platforms and they all appear for other players just not for him.
The "lagging" player has a stable ping of 70. He still sees other players moving around in real time and can still interact with other stuff while he waits for his platforms to appear.

anyone any idea what this could be?

[faint ibex]

@ocean pelican Did you get rid of the mod discussion or did it get delete lol?

[woeful hull]

hey guys, i think am now affected, along with some that are experiencing this

game was fine yesterday, and i open today - black screen after loading, then affecting my whole PC that i need to reboot

i may have tried now the deletion of the game saved files, although i got a backup of them

i launched the game and was already at the character creation, and then same issue of black screen

any other fix? or waiting for a game update?

[hollow sentinel]

I am seeing the same thing since I brought my server up last night. Only one CPU core is spun up to 100%, so it's not a huge deal. Is there a work-around for this and/or a planned fix?

[deep sequoia]

The announcements just said there's a patch for it this week

[hollow sentinel]

OK, cool, thanks. I'd rather have a new binary than patch it via the script.

[magic crater]

Were you able to resolve this?

My PC that I host the dedicated server on crashed and restarted. Now when I try to run the server again I get red errors.
Many red lines saying LogOutputDevice: Error:[Callstack] and then an error code but there are many lines like this and many different error codes.
I tried verifying the files but no luck.

[real parrot]

Anyone else encountering a hard game freeze that won't resolve unless manually shutting down when entering Tortuga? I've had no issues since launch but twice now today the game just freezes solid shortly after fast travelling into Tortuga, and then won't load back into the game again.

game crashes everytime i try to connect to my server

[austere crow]

The connection services are all showing n/a so won't let me log into my server

[pearl wraith]

Does anyone know how I can transfer my offline map to the dedicated server?

[ocean pelican]

I didn’t, I think it got deleted by the admins 🙁

[edgy shale]

Yes you can, its saved here %localappdata%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles Someone made a video guide for it, how to modify the Server Settings to grab the copied World: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohQamECPZw8

[magic crater]

I was able to open the server again but with an older save, four hours older than the last one, from the Default_Backups folder.
Is there a way to make the backups more frequent?

[undone mirage]

Hi, discoveries is bugged, my friend picked up the same items as me but its not unlocking in the discoveries has anyone encountered this issue? Note that he is the host of the game.

in adition he saw the prompt for it appearing but its not unlocked on the discovery page.

anyone has a fix? or the save is now junk?

Major discover are not unlocking btw

We already have beaten Israel hand too.

[still trail]

dedi server, and linux or windows?

[magic crater]

Dedicated server. Windows

I eventually created a Powershell that does a backup of the saved folder every ten minutes
