[still trail]

for windows what you want is task scheduler, can just make a script somehow. vba, powershell, whatever to make a copy of the save folder and log it by timestamp, then set it to run as often as you want.

yeah that's what I was thinking. I have a cronjob to tarball mine regularly on linux

[magic crater]

Can I run the dedicated server on Linux as well?

I saw that it should not be possible but wine/proton is a thing. Though maybe it's not recommended idk

[still trail]

I do.

one caveat - you NEED wine updated to 11, it will initially work on 9 but eventually fail once your world gets past a certain point

that's been the only serious issue I've had though. headless ubuntu lts server

I run bare metal but if you prefer docker there's at least three floating around too

[magic crater]

Got it. Thanks a bunch!

[gentle thistle]

whenever i attempt to join my friends server after a long time loading it goes straight back to main menu

[oblique nymph]

I cant join game after opdate? Just stuck in loading game?

[abstract kindle]

that happened to me

there is a corrupted file in the save drive

[oblique nymph]

Did you get it to work. Delete file ? And if yes what file ?

[abstract kindle]

yes it ended up working after alot of actions and trys. your going to have to go on the R5 file from the User folder in there you will find files with dates. save them all on your desktop and start testing the dated files from latest to oldest. before doing that verify files through steam that could be a fast fix.

[oblique nymph]

oh dear. Ok will try.

[thorny copper]

game crashes when joining server but single player is fine, i dont understand

[abstract kindle]

That should be an easy fix. its to do the IP Something if its set 4 change it to 6 and vise versa.

[scenic needle]

Any Idea why it crashes when I get a call on discord?

[abstract kindle]

dont keep it full screen. windowed or windowed bordless should solve that issue

[scenic needle]

I love you thanks a million homie!!!

[abstract kindle]

Always happy to help i was stuck with an issue and had to fix it which took me 4 hours to fix and lost a full level as 1 file was corrupted

[faint ibex]

Unfortunate, seemed like a great containerized option lol

[abstract kindle]

well its a solve with the amount of issues as its early access

[deft sparrow]

buddy got a server. right now it just keeps loading. never finishes. is there server issues atm>

worked just a few hours ago

[abstract kindle]

it is loading when joining the server or stuck at loading before the main menu?

[deft sparrow]

stuck on loading screen

into the paid server

[fickle tiger]

@deft sparrow I got the same issue, I have a sever and cant connect to it since yesterday.

[dry salmon]

I’ve never been able to join a coop game

[ocean pelican]

thanks me and @cursive flicker literally do this kind of work as a day job so we try to bring all the same best practices and will keep supporting the repo (we love the game)

i’ll prob make a steam community thread but either way sucks that the 400+ comment thread got deleted

[gray isle]

did you already try to use the launcher?

[fickle tiger]

I just got back in, this is what i did. open Windows Defender Firewall , Advanced Security, select Inbound Rules, found all the rules named windrose and deleted them. launched game, went to my server and firewall prompted like first time joining a sever, hit ok and im back in.

[still trail]

sounds like your network was set to public and swapped to private, causing rules to stop being useful. seen that happen before.

or the reverse

[toxic oracle]

anyone have a fix for corrupted saves?

aside from the FAQ stuff that doesn't work

[deft sparrow]

what launcher. just load from steam. click the server. enter PW and go. but now it never loads.

[broken sparrow]

this may be stupid but i'm new and can't figure out how to get to the actual game can someone help me?

again sorry if it was a stupid question

[vernal beacon]

download it on steam

[broken sparrow]

ok thanks

[floral sandal]

Happened after downloading cursed forge

[vernal beacon]

Try to verify your file

[floral sandal]

Tried and it passed verification, clean uninstall/reinstall twice too

[deft sparrow]

thanks for the info. tried but no luck sadly

[vernal beacon]

did you verify the files via steam?

[floral sandal]

yes

[turbid ether]

is there someone who can join in a vc and help me figure out why i cant join my freinds server

[vernal beacon]

try clearing your temp files maybe?

go %temp% in search then skip all that dont delete then restart steam all instances in task manager

[floral sandal]

still same rip

somehow fixedd it

[clever crescent]

Has the crashing issue with the picking up of resources been fixed yet?

@copper knoll Do you know if the issue with the crashing when picking up resources has been fixed on the servers?

[deft sparrow]

side note. my friend who paid for the server reset the whole server and it triggers a server update. now were all back on

[faint ibex]

This is why i do backups of important convos lol, as a swe student i can see the work and id never really seen a repo that used claude so it was quite interesting to see, thinking of getting the free month to test

[tight shale]

I keep crashing while plaing Windrose, is there something I can do or check?

[manic mulch]

just wait for patch and see if its better

[tight shale]

when is the patch?

[manic mulch]

in about 2 hours or so

[crude juniper]

In less than 2 hours and 20 minutes.

[tight shale]

A friend downloaded the game and when he trys to play it, https://gyazo.com/1e5f8f1338892669f0c720980425830d

and can't play it does anyone know what"s going on

[manic mulch]

what video card are they useing

[tight shale]

https://gyazo.com/bef3a182bcb3e4793d05fd89d677853e

[manic mulch]

whats there display tab?

[tight shale]

don't know what a display tab?

[manic mulch]

its right there on the directx page

[chrome island]

he's going to copy it, just a second

[ocean pelican]

definitely lots of steering involved and helps that i've been doing it for over 10 years but my work even requires ai first eng it's wild to see things change so quick. If you use something like openrouter.ai then you can get a lot of free usage to try out

[faint ibex]

Oop, interesting, i will check it out! Thigs did indeed change quite quick, when I started studying no GenAI existed (een elss so coding agents) but only the future will tell how the whole thing plays out. Fortunately a lot of sectors still need junior programmers and do not rely so much on seniors + AI like banks and stuff 😄

[tight shale]

@manic mulch https://gyazo.com/b34e6260bf4415dcaa1ec7825473beab

[blissful stirrup]

@tight shale If you have no Graphics Card it looks fine, if you do, you don't, your pc is running on integrated graphics which means you haven't installed the card or the drivers correctly.

[tight shale]

he's on a intel iris XE graphis,

[manic mulch]

thats the olny gfx they have right?

[blissful stirrup]

If they don't have a GPU and using IRIS XE, then they should go here and download the latest drivers for starters
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download-center/home.html

If that doesn't work either try putting -dx11 on steam launch options

[manic mulch]

they shuold probly try this

[blissful stirrup]

this but 11

but first make sure they have the latest drivers

[lime topaz]

Iris Xe is not supported and won't be able to boot the game.

[lime topaz]

No

[tight shale]

he did try to put dx 11, but didn't work

[blissful stirrup]

хуйno

[manic mulch]

try the -12

[blissful stirrup]

I guess arc is right, iris XE isn't supported by the game

[lime topaz]

Nothing they do is going to make the game boot on that GPU.
And it's the same for all other UE5 games using Nanite/VSM.

[tight shale]

ok, tyvm.

[blissful stirrup]

I'd trust @lime topaz , bro has made it his life goal to tell people Iris XE is not supported

[lime topaz]

Technically, i tell people their win10 build is outdated more often, Intel GPUs are on like a third place in terms of occurrence

[rich mural]

I can't build a frigate. I have all the mats and the plans for it.

[blissful stirrup]

@lime topaz im on 1\0 too i hate 11

[rich mural]

I just click and it takes me back to the ship listing.

[lime topaz]

Not soon enough

[tacit granite]

Hey everyone so yesterday I posted about my friend not being able to join my dedicated and now I can't join it. I saw someone else asked about it but didn't see an answer. I tried using the direct IP with password and port info and it just kicks me to main menu. Any help would be great because I've been trying to play this with my friend for weeks and I'm so so close...

[charred scroll]

There's an update coming in around 2-3 hours, might be worth waiting for that to see if it solves your issue

[tacit granite]

I can try invite code too I suppose I just wanna get this resolved so badly and I love this game I just hate the hiccups it comes with lol

[manic mulch]

was the dedicated server actualy set to directip?

[charred scroll]

And is it allowed through your firewall? Open ports etc?

[tacit granite]

I'm not sure. It shows the ip as well as an invite code and PW as well as the server version

[tacit granite]

Yea I was in last night but my friend couldn't join. He got in but now I wouldn't join. I got in now using the inv code now so...guess we will see

[charred scroll]

Sounds like it's sort of working 😄

[steep stream]

hello i am having trouble getting windrose to run through a black screen when starting through steam. can i get technical support to help with the problem?

[charred scroll]

Have you tried verifying the game on Steam? If Steam is the platform you are using that is

[steep stream]

i tryed repairing not verifying

[charred scroll]

I think that's the same thing. What are your system specs? CPU, RAM, GPU?

Are your GPU drivers updated to the latest?

[steep stream]

954 gb cpu ssdi 16 g ram 12 g ik 1222700kf

[manic mulch]

okay but in the serverdiscption.json is direct connection set to "true"

[steep stream]

sorry gpu 10 g rtx 3080

[tacit granite]

I have no idea. Haha where do I even look at that?

[manic mulch]

in the R5 folder for the server

[steep stream]

nt gpu driveres are now up to date

[tacit granite]

Uuhhh

[charred scroll]

What is your cpu?

[manic mulch]

okay how are you runing the dedicated server ?

[steep stream]

april 28 th version 59636

[tacit granite]

I don't understand the question. I paid for the server. I turned it on. Right now I was able to get in thru the inv code and PW not the ip

[manic mulch]

so its not turned on then "directip i mean" if invite code is working

[tacit granite]

As long as I can get in I'm happy lol

[manic mulch]

yep

[steep stream]

intell 1222700kf

[charred scroll]

Alright specs are looking good, make sure you restart your pc now that your drivers are up to date. Then try and run the game

[steep stream]

hang on thats intell 12-1200kf

[tacit granite]

and "in" i certainly am now

[steep stream]

ugh 12-12700KF

12th gen i7 12=12700KG

omg

lol

[charred scroll]

You're good to go, restart your pc, then try to run the game again

[steep stream]

black screen with music running in background

[charred scroll]

Try shift+tabbing a few times

[steep stream]

ok

[blissful stirrup]

@steep stream try alt+enter (puts games in windowed mode)

[steep stream]

omg i thihnk that worked

[charred scroll]

Shift+tab or alt+enter?

[steep stream]

both but alt enter made the priority and no blackscreen

[blissful stirrup]

go to game settings now and put it on borderless

[charred scroll]

Alright, hopefully it will be smooth sailing from now on!

[blissful stirrup]

such a kind potato

[steep stream]

yep got it thanks

[crimson stump]

Hello community and developers,

I’m having an issue with my dedicated server. I set up a server on a home PC that runs 24/7 so I can play with friends and family.

We’ve spent quite a lot of time building and exploring the map, and everything was working perfectly. Last night around 23:00 I was still online and everything was fine.

However, this morning when I logged in, the map was completely blank. All constructions are gone and all exploration progress has been reset.

It’s important to mention that the character progress is still there — only the world (buildings and explored areas) seems to have been wiped.

Could this be caused by an update? Or does anyone know what might have happened?

[manic mulch]

in the serverdiscption.json theres a world id (change that to read the correct folder)

[hollow hull]

still same problem.. long loading and no network at all.. have anybody solve this yet ???

[tribal aurora]

same here whit the loading screen

[spring geode]

Any Aussies here? Was using a Nitrado Sydney server but it disconnects me constantly back to the menu last night. Very frustrating

[strong cedar]

Yeah I feel that homie happening to me atm

[twin plume]

Are there any server problems on Publisher Side?
My dedicated server shows

Cannot create Coop NetServer. Error Login finished with error. ErrorMessage Server Authorization failed. Error 'Internal error [Internal error]'

[candid topaz]

me and my friends have no acess the the servers anymore just says N/A

[spring geode]

Apparently Gportal is better. so I started up one, but my mate is still lagging on that making combat impossible. Didn't have any disconnects yet though. Don't see why this should be happening.

[cobalt rain]

same

[candid topaz]

we got kicked out midgame

[halcyon whale]

its updating

[runic mirage]

what part of the world are you guys in?

as I too am affected

[ivory oriole]

Any update on the fix?

[candid topaz]

i updated it

[lapis sphinx]

colorado usa down

[runic mirage]

this is post update, i still have no ability to connect

[surreal hinge]

is there an anticipated down time?

[empty vortex]

#│announcements

[halcyon whale]

i alraedy finisehd mine

[empty vortex]

An hour or so, should be 40 more minutes

[candid topaz]

i see

[manic mulch]

anyone useing direct ip shuold be able to play agin the other stuff gona take time i think

[candid topaz]

sadge bed time then since its 3am night

[twin plume]

Ahoy @Lookout! Just a heads-up, we're going to roll out a "housekeeping" update for Windrose from 09:00 to 10:00, 30. April 2026 (your local date & time). Online play won't be available for approximately 30 minutes during that time.

[cedar bough]

Just update my server and this happen. Can anyone help me?

[cobalt rain]

game is being updated

[cedar bough]

Oh okay thank u

[tardy wigeon]

anyone knows how long its gonna take until the servers are back online?

[cobalt rain]

steam just started my update download

[harsh prism]

look up, Taraman just said

[outer python]

this kind of outage normal with updates?

[cobalt rain]

yes

[tardy wigeon]

oh! thank you!

[cobalt rain]

they have to take the server down to update it

[outer python]

bummer, but thx

[cobalt rain]

np

[tardy wigeon]

Servers still not online after update 😭

[swift harbor]

why is windrose apparently a live-service game that dies without the game owner's server being online?

I'm kinda confused what about this game needs a constant connection back to the Windrose servers?

[manic mulch]

is it set to invite code? if so you will need to wait longer

[manic mulch]

its for invite codes to work

[swift harbor]

shouldn't direct IP work then?

[swift quest]

Just updated whens server gnna be back online

[manic mulch]

yes it dos

[open lantern]

looks like an authentification gateway to connect clients per invite code to the hosts

[swift harbor]

It wouldn't let me host direct-IP at least internally. not a dedicated server, though

[swift quest]

I cant gwt it to let me host so me my buddy can play again

[manic mulch]

that wuold be why

[sweet thunder]

My game crashed mid sail. Was wondering what was up, but seems others are having the same issue. Glad I didn't lose my progress.

[carmine rapids]

is it just us or you guys have servers down ?

[swift harbor]

it's wild that the server just... shuts down

like, everybody was already connected

[swift quest]

Ya

[swift harbor]

suddenly kicks us out, no warning, lol

[carmine rapids]

we were fighting that fast boss and it desconected almost destroyed my keyboard

[harsh prism]

Servers are up

[swift harbor]

I could understand preventing new players from joining, but bringing the whole server forcibly down is... a choice.
-# not a good choice

[runic pagoda]

what happened to the severs ): i cant get on

[manic mulch]

then use a direct ip dedicated server 🙂

[swift harbor]

they should still fix that.

[harsh prism]

I closed Windorse and Steam down, then started it back up. Servers are up

[swift harbor]

their connection services going down shouldn't surprise shut down a hosted server

dedicated or not

[past fossil]

Servers down. I´m woried to loose everything Just Restarted several times.

[knotty charm]

this is the "housekeeping" update they mentioned earlier in #│announcements

my question is, will my Nitrado server update automatically, or will I have to do something?

[manic mulch]

just like cloudflare going down and takeing most the internet with it right? its services on top of services.

[dawn latch]

It popped up on Steam for me right now. Downloading the update from there.

[swift harbor]

okay that was clownshoes too

[rancid sail]

Stil not fixst

[manic mulch]

well you dont seem to understand that its a service a service gos down - are you able to connect to it? or use it?

[swift harbor]

the service didn't go down. I was hosting the game. my clients and I didn't go down.

if the data for that game goes through another service beyond connection, that's the issue. why.

it should be peer to peer like every other game

[manic mulch]

so you just dont like that its useing a proxy and not your connection right? (if you use direct ip its not a thing its peer to peer)

[swift harbor]

I couldn't host it direct IP while the servers were down either. It kicked me out.

[cobalt rain]

Playing on my friend's server and it says "server not found" hopefully it comes back soon

[manic mulch]

if your hosting threw game its self yes it will do that - becuse its still useing proxy- if you run the dedicated server - direct ip wont do that

[inland moat]

im stuck in a loading screan when i start up the game?

[scarlet jolt]

me too

[crimson stump]

Hello community and developers,

After the latest update, I’ve completely lost my world on my dedicated server.

Before the update, everything was working fine — we had built a lot and explored a large part of the map. Now the world has reset (blank map, no buildings), while character progress is still intact.

I do have a backup of the world, but when I restore it to the server, I get a version mismatch error — the client is not compatible with the server version.

So effectively, all our progress (buildings, resources, exploration) is gone.

Is this a known issue after the update?
Is there any way to convert or recover the old world to make it compatible with the current version?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[daring eagle]

and i can't loading the server. not the same version (g-Portsl)

[keen heron]

Ye, same here, getting 'client and server versions do not match' on g-portal. Potentially update hasn't been rolled out on g-portal or is having some issues

I've tried forcing an update through restarts/switch off and on but nothing yet

[manic mulch]

is this a bot or ? i saw the message earlyer and replyed the fix they didnt anwer

[daring eagle]

me too and i have start a ticket but nothing helps. How can i make an update on the server i have the ootion only found with automatic restart

[keen heron]

Nothing you can do with the current settings, if the update isn't there to grab then the server won't realise when restarting. Just have to wait. There's a setting called 'Restart for update' in g-portal, if you have that on, the server will automatically update when the update becomes available to it

[crimson stump]

it was working what you say .. but now after update NO

[crimson stump]

and im not BOT :)) LOL

[lilac parcel]

The package for Dedicated Server does not seem to have been released yet at least seeing no updates yet for the Server Package so hence why it does now not work yet for many.

[daring eagle]

your sure 😄

[manic mulch]

change the same thing agin alos are you useing a panel of some sort ?

[crimson stump]

didn't help ! i try ..

[manic mulch]

okay are you useing a hosting servce or some sort of docker/panel on another pc?

[lime topaz]

"DeploymentId": "0.10.0.4.268-9d2ca277"
Server is out for a while now.

[frosty echo]

is 10GB enough RAM for Nitrado server host services? or do I need more? i have 4 players online at a time

[crimson stump]

I’m running the server on an older PC that stays online 24/7.
It has dual Intel Xeon E5 processors and 32 GB of RAM.

All the world data and saves are stored locally on that PC.

[frosty echo]

i restarted my nitrado services 6 minutes ago and it installed the update

[terse pike]

they were released

[manic mulch]

okay and are you useing something like pterodactyl panel?

[terse pike]

and they broke our map

[runic mirage]

is it back up?

[silent wind]

Im having an issue that the game wont stop in steam when i close the game. it is showing as running , and i have to close down steam completly to be able to run the game again. anyone had the same?

[crimson stump]

no simpl Terminal ( .bat File ) after i create the server with CMD

[manic mulch]

strange it shuoldnt be changeing worlds then o.0..

[crimson stump]

exactly.. that'S it why also wonder

[manic mulch]

https://giphy.com/gifs/cinemagraph-beard-stroke-x43pXtJShv93a

@clever yew

[manic mulch]

okay so you shut the server down. - then changed the correct folder saved then started agin?

[rustic sluice]

Updated my server and now it won't start 😮 Anyone else?

[crimson stump]

ok il will try then i come back later ( and in not BOT ! again )

My g-portal server just updated on restart

[clever yew]

The day they add sharks and krakens, i'm going to have so many complaints. The ships already don't move fast enough.

[manic mulch]

they might need to update 🙂

[clever yew]

You both need to update your games. And also wait for any mod updates if you use them.

[manic mulch]

really i thught the big boat gos fast

[keen heron]

Try restarting your server now, mine just pulled update

[clever yew]

It says for the BB Frig 21 max speed, but i've never seen it go over 20 kts.

[manic mulch]

it feels fast to me

Any suggestions?

Edit: saving the map locally and running it as solo/offline works fine

[arctic kraken]

someone know why its kicking me out of the loading screen when i try to load into the solo map and get back to the selection?

[hot nebula]

Quick question : I can't join our private server hosted by a friend... got kicked out of the game when playing this morning, had my friend reboot the game, then I got the update for the game itself on steam. Now it says that game and server versions don't match.

SteamCMD says the server is uptodate as well.

What's going on ?

[tribal aurora]

it seems like its fixxed thanks for fixxing the game love yall

[lyric lark]

So the new update corrupted my save file. :/

It now just hangs at the loading screen after selecting the world.

[tribal aurora]

damn

[lyric lark]

I'm also very surprised the Tortuga fast travel crash hasn't been addressed yet. It's pretty major.

For anyone else who may experience issues, I fixed it by turning off cloud saves, deleting SaveProfiles, starting a new game, turing cloud saves back on and then resyncing cloud (NOT local save)

[outer spade]

hi. is anyone else got problem with Nitrado server after update? server cannot be found ?

[jolly basalt]

my ping players isnt taking the udate

[runic mirage]

really long connection times when spinning up private servers again

[fossil oxide]

Thanks for the suggestion, no luck unfortunately, server crashes even with a completely new character 🙁

[lyric lark]

Bugger, sorry to hear man. :/

[proper bramble]

Just updated dedicated server from steam, and on local client -- shows version mismatch

Did validation on both devices. The server is on my local network.

[livid epoch]

Is this resolved? I fixed it by deleting and re-pulling the windrose docker image. Everything rebuilt and came back fine. JUST THE IAMGE, don't touch anything in the mounted volume.

[fossil oxide]

unfortunately not - I'll try a steamcmd reinstall later, just strange how it suddenly stopped working (before the update)

[livid epoch]

#🚧│tech-support message

Yeah, we had it on a dedicated server running docker.

[fossil oxide]

I'm not running the docker image, I'm set mine up following this

#1493527844318347294 message

[proper bramble]

This is the message shown on client side. Server is running straight off windows 10 professional, and was working fine before this update push, if that helps at all.

[hot tusk]

I just updated my game on Steam, but my dedicated server is showing a message saying it's not compatible.
The server is hosted by Nitrado.

[livid epoch]

Fair enough - back your world up and try to reinstall. Worked immediately for us.

[livid epoch]

Has your server been updated?

[proper bramble]

Yes i ran the update in steam for the Dedicated Server installation

[livid epoch]

Both reading this under properties -> game version:

And the server has been turned off, patched, and turned back on again?

[still arrow]

my server (dedicated AMP) won't load my savegame anymore :(sth. about a missing 1854568.sst. But that File doesn't even exist in older backups

[proper bramble]

Yes, I restarted the server entirely before and after restarting the device updating the server

[lilac parcel]

That is most likely new in mem data for manifest which calls that sst file, was everything shut down and non writing anymore before updating?

[still arrow]

jepp, shut everything down and then did an update (bofore that there was the version mismatch)

[vernal current]

Game server keeps crashing after the update

[livid epoch]

And it reads the same version on the Dedicated Server exe?

[vernal current]

Can play for like 5 minutes before it shuts down.

[lilac parcel]

If manifest calls 1854568.sst but it's nowhere to be found best you can do is revert to last known working world save backup basically, since basically "corrupt" at that state.

[proper bramble]

The first screenshot was from the server, this is from the client (my PC)

[livid epoch]

Something's telling your client it's the wrong version. Do you have 2 versions of the server executable running? Is it possible to reboot the server box to flush out potential caching?

[proper bramble]

i will reboot the physical machine again and retry. are there any changes to the batch file that launches it?

[granite ravine]

Crashing immediately to steam after trying to load a private server oof

[livid epoch]

Don't know your launch config or server setup, but if there's a specific version specified in there it might cause conflict.

[granite ravine]

Should I be running proton 10-34?

[dull carbon]

Every time I use the fast travel feature, my PC freezes and everything stops working. Can you help me?

[proper bramble]

server is win10 pro, was working with that .bat before this update for everyone

[livid epoch]

Yeah, nothing in there suggests version conflicts. Give it a reboot, see if it clears out the problem. Restarted the client as well?

[polar tulip]

Hi. Does anyone know how to fix the issue where me and my friend can't join each other's hosted game? Both just reverts back to the main screen without any errors

[proper bramble]

yes, and verified files in steam's built in. but ill reboot both again and report back.

[granite ravine]

Yeahhh it's just crashing every time I try to host a private server
Steam deck: SSD 512 LCD model
Was working before now it's not
Back to enshrouded until they fix it I guess..

[hot nebula]

my friend says it's back online, at least for us

[granite ravine]

I'm trying to load into a private server and everytime I do it's not getting past the "map load screen"

I'm testing rn to see if it does the same on solo

Solo loads

[fossil oxide]

Sounds similar to my issue - does the server crash/restart when you try to connect?

[blazing wave]

Does anyone know when the native Linux server will be released?

[proper bramble]

Rebooted physical server, my own machine, same result

[granite ravine]

So it has something I mean it goes right to black screen back to steam is then crashes

[fossil oxide]

Ah, sorry, this is private server hosted within the client itself?

[granite ravine]

It's a private server within the client yeah. Not a dedicated server

[still trail]

no timeframe yet but for now the windows one with wine/proton works really well, haven't had any issues since updating to wine 11

[granite ravine]

It was working as far as getting into the server and playing with someone before but would crash on the open seas.

Now it doesn't get past the load screen..

[fossil oxide]

fair enough, not easy to tell if its the client or server side which is crashing then 🙁

[granite ravine]

The problem is that it was working fine except for when we traveled to the open seas before the update it wouldn't crash until we went sailing.

Now it crashes regardless whether I have someone joining or not. The only way it plays stable is if it's on solo

[narrow pier]

Hello. Saw the update this morning, restarted my server, game is updated and now the game tries to connect to the dedicated (Nitrado) server, loads, then kicks back to title screen.

[still trail]

Is it updated on nitrado's end? I scheduled my dedi to update and restart at 3 est and it was out of date, had to manually update it

Not sure what their update schedule looks like

[narrow pier]

Not sure, I am new to using Nitrado. How would I manually update the Nitrado server? I thought rebooting did the trick.

[foggy crane]

hello, i have a dedicated server on steam, everything was fine playing with some friends and from yesterday 1 of my friends can;t join de server anymore everytime he try's to connect, the dedicated server shuts down....

[still trail]

I don't use them so not sure. You can check /steamapps/appmanifest_4126920.acf for the build id to check though, should be 23016965

[narrow pier]

Okay thank you. Nitrado says it could be a few hours after update is pushed so may have to wait a bit. Thank you.

[simple verge]

Huuge frame drops during boarding after the patch 🙁

[oblique chasm]

Hello, I bought a couple of ship paint schemes, but they're missing. I have all three ships, and the ones I had are already there, but the new ones haven't appeared. Someone on my stream also complained about them being missing. Specifically, the ship side paint scheme. The sails and flags are there.

[cosmic yew]

I need some help..
I had no Problems at all with this game, but since yesterday evening my GPU goes crazy high - thought okay, i'll hopp off - did Update, start the game and within 5 minutes into the game my GPU Temperature is at 80-85°C

I havnt build anything crazy, yet my settings arent ultra either - it just appeared out of nowhere

It also started to hardly stutter (3-6 sec. freezes)

[mortal delta]

does anyone know if nitrado is up yet?

[lucid lynx]

evening all not shore on what's going on with the game but every time i try and fire it up the game crashes and just goes back to my desktop screen with no error codes or any thing

[livid epoch]

Depending on the skin, they may only apply to specific variations of the ship. Blackbeard paint, for example, can only be put on the Blackbeard Ketch, Brig, and Frigate.

[manic mulch]

Maybe beta next week maybe

[half lodge]

Nitrado server still down ? any updates ?

[prime shore]

hello, i have probleme with game, when i select my friends server to join, the server crash, i also hasve this with my own solo game, when loading it loads me back to home menu. how can i fix this probleme plsse?

[zenith panther]

I have the same problem, not even solo play loads.

It would be great if someone could help.

[prime shore]

my luck was that i have multiple steam accounts and they are in family libary, so i stil can play the game, but from other steam acc

[sand void]

My mate is hosting a server, Ive not had any stuttering issues, but all the others who are playing have had it where both on ship, and combat, it stutters to unplayable.
Even after this mornings patch, it seams to be the same. Not a connection issue as the host is next to the sever, and he gets spikes. Our video settings the same. Any help or ideas would be grateful 🙂

[serene steppe]

I have a Nitrado server and still no access either; we have to wait until they decide to do the update.

[terse osprey]

Rubberbanding or FPS stutters?

[sand void]

more rubberbading for them

[terse osprey]

We've been having this, but there's absolutely no reason for it... The update hasn't done anything to resolve it

There's about 5 of us a couple are completely unaffected, but then the person is rubberbanding for everyone else, but everyone is fine

We tried Nitrado, and it was nothing but a lag fest even after a ticket
We swapped to someone hosting on a laptop, which was so much better but then once we started getting into it, there was this awful sailing lag making any combat entirely unplayable

Once we got to the first boss, we flat out had to migrate to one person hosting directly because all of us would die due to desync or the boss hitting people where they weren't

So now the host just rubberbands for everyone else but its at least remotely playable

I came here to ask about it but it seems the first two things I've seen are the exact same issue

[mortal delta]

yea the update did literally nothing for my connection issues, and as much as id love to say its my internet no other game kickes me out of sessions at the slightest sign of lag

and then I go and pay for a nitrado server to hopefully solve this issue thinking "hey there partnered, p2p is buggy so lets spend 12$" servers still arnt up, and apparently 12$ gets me 1 gig of ram on a server, so thats just not gonna run smooth at all regardless

[lyric lark]

Do Mahogany 13, 26 and 64 degree walls just... not exist?

The patch notes specify they added some missing triangles, but these are still missing.

But Mahogany 45 degree do. 🫤

[mortal delta]

and to put cherry on the pie not only do a spawn back on the starter island/base but I have to eat more food or suffer the downsides of being hungry

[ivory oriole]

[livid epoch]

Think you're at the reinstall stage 🙁 Back up your game world first.

Might be worth running your local server in a docker container. Can pull the image down from a few providers, but indifferent brocolli have been amazing both in provision and support.

[proper bramble]

honestly, never messed with docker. and before the update things were just fine. and it seems apparent im not the only one with issues. is there a doc page where to see what files i need to backup for the server? and do i need to do it for the client side too?

[queen crane]

Seems a bunch of hired servers arent working, im on aussieserverhosts and can't get it to work

[livid epoch]

There should be a guide somewhere. Maybe under #1493364524705775657 ? Docker's been easy. I run a Linux box for my mates, and 0 to us on the high seas took 3 minutes.

[proper bramble]

ill take a look, but like i said never used docker and just the .bat from steam for the dedicated server was working just fine before this update push

[solar cave]

i have a bug, steam say me the update is blocked

[proven yacht]

Hey, have you tested how to turn on new feature UseForceP2pConnection to true? i cannot find where i need to set it, it always false in logs on startup...

[oblique chasm]

I'm aware of this, but I don't see any changes to all three ships. There are still four rows of skins. Also, could you please give me the ability to change the crew color? I often get confused between the enemy and my pirates, and it's really annoying that everyone wears purple clothes. I'd like to be able to change the color of the pirates' gear. If that's too difficult, then at least make it a neutral color, but one that would make them stand out from the enemy.

[proper rampart]

Does settings a password work with invite code? When i use my invite code on a server with password, I can connect to it without the password.

the ServerDescription.json shows my password and IsPasswordProtected = true

[oak python]

My friend has a problem with the game; he launches the game and it gets stuck on the loading screen before the main menu. Do you have a solution for this problem?

[lyric lark]

Very common issue it seems, but I've found a way to fix it. Be VERY careful and follow the steps exactly:

Right click the game in Steam and in the Properties turn Cloud Save OFF

[oblique chasm]

I found them on the stream where I bought them. Everything was unlocked, as you can see in the first screenshot. However, the skins on the ships themselves simply don't have them—four paint jobs and all the ones that were there. I already bought the second set of paint jobs, called the Brotherhood paint jobs, and they're missing.

[lyric lark]

Then go into the game files and delete folder called SaveProfiles

Open the game and make a pirate, then exit once the pirate is made

Turn cloud saves back ON, and click that you want to use the Cloud save (NOT THE LOCAL SAVE!)

It'll resync, and you can continue as normal.

It has happened to me three times. The latest patch didn't address it at all despite being a well known bug.

[proper bramble]

@livid epoch would this have anything to do with anything? line 3

[lyric lark]

I'm sure they're working on it regardless.

[oak python]

thanks pro

[livid epoch]

Quite possibly. Back it up, change it to the latest version, test 🙂

[proper bramble]

what is the proper version code?

[livid epoch]

Does it say on the client main screen?

[proper bramble]

let me check

[livid epoch]

Give that a go as the DeploymentId

[proper bramble]

ok stand by

seems like it rewrote it to 0.10.0.3.104-256f9653

[livid epoch]

Suggests something in your installation isn't updated properly, and it's overwriting it with what it knows.

Try making the file read only

[proper bramble]

i do not have shadow copy or whatever going on, but i will try again making it RO

[green parrot]

hi everytone after the recent update i cant load into my world the game just keeps crashing saying the game has hang and will now shut --- Also is now using 100% CPU never did before

[livid epoch]

Terrible. Send me your graphics card so I can test.

[proper bramble]

** ** triple checked before making the json RO and ensuring it was using "DeploymentId": "0.10.0.3.104-256f9653", i mean to say it reset back to that

[proper bramble]

i changed it to "DeploymentId": "0.10.0.4.268-9d2ca277",

[livid epoch]

It may be getting generated when the server starts - in-game settings dumped out to JSON. It sounds like your executable is still on the older server version. Have you got a second installation going on? Checked file paths?

[proper bramble]

verifying all that now

[charred sequoia]

i changed the upscaler to DLSS, fixed that problem for me at least.

[proper bramble]

so those IDs changed too after update

[livid epoch]

And it works?

[proper bramble]

nope, it starts loading with new ID, then game on client crashes

old ID shows DCd

[still trail]

Changing the id won't help if your server is out of date

[proper bramble]

i ran the update already via steam etc etc

[brisk fulcrum]

hiyo sorry if this has already been asked. is there a way to change the difficulty settings on a dedicated server?

[vivid hemlock]

unless you're the server owner i dont think you can change it

[brisk fulcrum]

i am owner

[still trail]

For a dedi, check /steamapps/appmanifest_4126920.acf for the build id to check though, should be 23016965

If not, it's not properly updated for whatever reason

[vivid hemlock]

R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/<game version>/Worlds/<world ID>/WorldDescription.json
make sure to back up the whole folder just in case
and turn off steam clouds

[proper bramble]

yeah shows wrong location (the shortcut to the batch file, the desktop) and build is not right either

[vivid hemlock]

im not sure if the server setting are all same but this is what I got when I searched it up.

http://xrealm.com/en/blog/windrose-server-settings-guide

you can use this as a guideline i guess? the names for the tweaking and such.

[proper bramble]

not sure why its using the desktop path when the game lives on another drive. and obviously the things are mismatched

[woven vessel]

Hey. I updated my client. But SteamCMD seems to not update. In my ServerDescription.json its still '"DeploymentId": "0.10.0.3.104-256f9653",'

Do I have to delete the whole windrose folder and then reupload my game world or how is it handled?

[proper bramble]

basically same issue i am having atm

[woven vessel]

Are you using one of the two community docker containers in unraid by any chance?

[pastel wasp]

VERY happy about this every time i would open my inventory FPS goes to 10 and stays there.

[proper bramble]

no, hosted on win10pro not docker

[woven vessel]

Okay thats good that you use something different. Then its not the community app lol 😄

[neon python]

hi, there is problem with teleporting bells. When u're using sometimes game freezing and its need to be restarted. After update and 1 freeze and restart game is no loading anymore, just infinity loading or freeze on loading screen.

hi am having issues getting my game to load it was working fine a bout an hour ago but i alt tab to do something and havent been able to get in since

[proper bramble]

@livid epoch made progress, able to connect to server but all my fast travel points are gone along with markers and map uncovering is gone now. all i see is markers for quests on the map

[woven vessel]

I pulled the container again into a fresh folder. The then generated config file had the correct version number. I just copied in my old values and the old Game World. The server now works again.

[proper bramble]

ship and personal inventory is intact, but not sure exactly where if the base i have been working on is still there or where it is

[queen crane]

that sounds like a whole new map, like when you switch between servers

[proper bramble]

i agree, and i attempted to put in the old seeds and map IDs so i could at least get connected to my server. doesnt explain why they changed up after the update (code, seed, etc)

[queen rain]

i was having issues with connecting to a a multi player game so i have tried playing it as a single player and it worked fine so i disconnected and tried connecting to the multi player game and it seems to be working for now

[proper bramble]

literally the only thing i did was run the update via steam on my dedicated server, along with the update on my client. it was working perfectly fine for me and the people that i play with before the update

[astral swift]

I can't access our server that my friend created, and unfortunately I don't know how to restart it since I don't have any data.

[weak pecan]

My Game just sits on the loading screen since the update, I cannot play the game now. I hear the sounds load in but it never leaves the loading screen. Ive restarted the PC/Steam, went to breakfast came back an hour later and still on loading screen.

[proper bramble]

i dont want to nuke the dedicated server and lose all the progress my friends and i have made thus far 😭

[vital rose]

Hey all, anyone know if there was a corresponding server update to bump the version to match the client version? I'm running a private dedicated server through steamcmd and I'm checking the version available and it doesn't look like it's been updated...

[fossil oxide]

there was, and there is an update available via steamcmd

[vital rose]

Ok thanks. Weird that the build number isn't showing as being updated.

[fossil oxide]

A completely new install on a fresh proxmox container seems to be working, for a new world at least, unfortunately lunch break over so I didn't get a chance to copy our existing save to the new server yet

[livid epoch]

Shouldn't need to. Server files will be in your mounted volume, outside the container

[fossil oxide]

it's an LXC, not docker

[proper bramble]

yeah for some reason it keeps wanting to revert to 0.10.0.3.104-256f9653 in the ServerDescription.json file. throws errors if i set it to read only @livid epoch

[iron nimbus]

Game keeps stuttering and crashing. Any ideas? This is before and after the recent update.

[sterile gazelle]

Anyone having issue getting to the main menu at all? i just re installed the game and restarted my pc and still infinite loading screen

[weak pecan]

Yep

[sterile gazelle]

Thats wierd, i was just in the game an hour ago

[weak pecan]

They need to get this fixed

[woeful yew]

Thats cloud issue. You can check the support website it has a step by step guide on how to fix that. Make sure you backup your profil folders

[weak pecan]

Already tried

does not work

I can get in the main screen but it will not load my SOLO offline game, I can join my friends server but not my own

[sterile gazelle]

Tried launching without cloud now but still nothing

[woeful yew]

Delete the profile from Appdata and let the game create a new char. Once you in go into a solo game and finish the beginner tutorial and when you land on the island pickup some items once done backup to the main menu and then exit the game. Whiile doing this your cloud service needs to be off. Once this is done you copy paste your old profile back in the appdata folder and turn on cloud and restart the game

[sterile gazelle]

That worked, can this have been caused by the save editor?

I have used it once didnt work and rewerted to a backup

[weak pecan]

I did all of the above but im now stuck in an infinite loading screen on launch, cant even get to the menu now

[molten bolt]

i still have no acces to private server

[woeful yew]

The way steam uploads and downloads files is a bit weird. Thats why it is always good to save your files just incase it messes up your cloud save so you can restore from local files

[woeful yew]

Same for me I can't host a game and I can't join anyone

[blazing cape]

Is there a server browser / favourite list on the horizion for those servers who use direct connection over the UPnP stuff?

[sterile gazelle]

Is the whole finish tutorial part necessary?

[woeful yew]

Not sure about the tutorial part but it is necessary to pickup some items so the cloud realises it needs to update. Anykind of change in the inventory or level etc needs to be done

[sterile gazelle]

Okey, thanks for explaining makes sense

[paper zinc]

Yeaa update broke my game. The fatal error previously got stopped when I out post processing to low, all else on high. Now I cant even load in game. Infinit map screen. I tried pulling up steam to force close it sinxe the other methods didnt work, but the steam window went black and wouldn't go away so had to restart pc.

[median axle]

so just installed the game on my desktop, had been playing on laptop, went to start it up and got a warning that it was unable to sync with cloud files and i may lose progress permanently.... anyone had this issue? or was it fine

[sterile gazelle]

You have the game on another pc yeah?

[median axle]

yes first played it on my laptop and now trying to play on my desktop

[sterile gazelle]

I would just try tbh, if it fails just take the save file from your other pc

Most of the time, its just false flags

[median axle]

any chance you know where the player save file is at? i might go ahead and make a backup for it first just in case

[sterile gazelle]

win+r and search %appdata%

then go to local - R5

[sterile gazelle]

There seems to be some issues with cloud sync atm btw so i expect a hotfix or something soon

[median axle]

is it the saveprofiles?

[sterile gazelle]

yup

[rich mural]

Here is the screenshot showing I have everything needed to build the frigate. Once I click build, it takes me back to my ships page and no new ship is there. It doesn't take my resources, thankfully. It's the same for the brig. I was once able to build the brig, but I deleted it to get mats for the frigate.

Things I've tried:

• deleting and re-making the wharf
• making a second wharf
• deleting and re-making my bonfire
• making a second bonfire
• using someone else's wharf in my base
• using someone else's wharf in their own base
• going back and re-defeating the first two bosses

This is affecting at least one other person that I know of on my server.

Thank you!

Nvm. While low post processing setting fixed the fatal error, the new update brought it back even though that setting got rid of it. Ugh

No luck - after updating the serverID and putting my save back on, I'm getting the same issue

It is downloaded and the server does not enter

how to fix this

i only updated it

UUUUUP same here

[clear cradle]

im on epic and having loading issues, is it not just steam with this problem?

[lime topaz]

It means something on your PC is blocking the files, typically antivirus or the game process still running at background.
Reboot your PC first and see if that resolves the issue.

[left wolf]

nitrado server restart long time update

[lime topaz]

Steam Cloud for this game is not really working, it's best if you disable it till the devs improve their saving system (there's an experimental Beta branch for this FYI).

[wild kiln]

got this fixed following the post in "game-support"

I have already gone through the server host support who moved my server onto new hardware which initially seemed to fix the error, however about an hour in the server status changed from "fine" to "R5check [CH69/1|EN0/0|ER0/0]".

My (limited) understanding of this tells me that there is a channel error when reading Json string, however I have no idea how to stop this happening.

Restarting the game clears the R5check status temporarily, but it ultimately returns within 10-50 minutes of play. Happy to provide line from the R5 logs if that would help.

Is everyone elses Nitrado server still down? I cant access it at all for the last 8 hours

[clear cradle]

is it just steam players with the loading issue? im on epic and my worlds wont load

[unkempt pendant]

I dont play over the server. We use ingame connecting to each other.

[wise hinge]

I saw the update so I restarted our Nitrado server and it has been stuck on "A new update will be installed now" for the last hour or so

[signal hedge]

Hi, why i'm still cannot host a game

[haughty jacinth]

one of my friends is having issues playing via CrossOver...anyone else getting stuck on loading screen?

[radiant shoal]

#1495518685719433246 for those with nitrado issues

[mild wedge]

how frustrating

[echo seal]

is Nitrado been just awful for everyone?

[wise hinge]

honestly it's been pretty stable for the $13 so far, some lag at times. This is the first major hiccup I've experienced, but also the first major update.

[raven lintel]

Hello,
I'm hosting my own server and despite I updated both the game and server files on my server
the client and server version still does not match

Has anyone encountered the same problem, i was thinking it's the world version but i got no idea tbh..

[mild wedge]

I think everyones having this issue

[gusty pine]

what do I do if one of the 3 x marks the spot maps got picked up, showed up briefly on my map and vanished completely?

[echo seal]

we basically dont both doing any kind of combat friday nights because the lag makes timing combat so much harder

[raven lintel]

reading the chat, i think that's what happen on thoses who bought Nitrado servers

so that's a dev problem in that case

[radiant shoal]

[storm oyster]

Hi, im stuck on loading screen. Sameone have this problem?

[chilly sonnet]

Just posting appreciation for them working hard on the cloud save issue 🙏 keep it up mateys

[lean marten]

Happened to me past 2 days, steps in this link worked right away the first day. Second day I had to reinstall the game and then it worked
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3041230?emclan=103582791475068287&emgid=725783900692939217

[mild wedge]

my nitrado server is up

[sharp galleon]

After the update, the game gets stuck on the loading screen. Deleting the save file opens the game, but reinstalling it causes it to get stuck again at the same point. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

[final beacon]

Has anyone been having issues where they leave the windrose screen and their entire computer freezes up?

Im 90% sure whatever the issue is where thats been happening is due to the PCI-e not getting enough voltage
Update: Lowering post processing Seems to resolved the PCI-E voltage issue and raised it from 6.0 to 12.0

[weak pecan]

Yep same issue, I can even create a new character and join my main characters map but my main level 15 character cannot load into its own map, this is sooo dumb

[night tulip]

I cant even start my game now after the updating my nvidia drivers. Just goes black screen and says nope not starting. And after 3 attempts it force rebooted my pc. Like what the hell.

[brisk girder]

Hello, I’m not sure if anyone else is having issues with Windrose where the game crashes and the entire computer fully restarts.

It seems very random, since sometimes it happens in the game menu before even entering a match, while other times it happens after playing for a while.

When launching the game and reaching the main menu, the GPU immediately jumps to 98–100% usage while doing nothing, and then the game crashes, completely restarting the PC.

I’ve tried checking the game log, but it’s impossible for me to understand.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

All drivers are up to date.
GPU: RTX 3080
CPU: i7-14700K

[night tulip]

Does the same for me now after updating my GPU drivers.

[brisk girder]

I’ve never had this kind of problem with any game before, even though I play titles that are far more graphically demanding. It’s frustrating, and I honestly don’t know what to do.

[night tulip]

Rolled back the drivers and that fixed it

[brisk girder]

i never rolled back drivers, how to do it?

[night tulip]

https://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to-rollback-or-uninstall-nvidia-drivers-in-windows-11/

[brisk girder]

nice thank you very much

[final beacon]

What roll back did you do?

Like which driver

[night tulip]

I installed the new version 596.36 nvidia drivers in the app today and that made my game not work and my computer crash. Did a rollback via the device manager and game is running again now.

[final beacon]

Okay but which driver

[daring pasture]

Yeah my wife's pc just fully crashed and deleted her GPU (AMD) drivers

[night tulip]

The graphics driver i just mentioned? 🤷

[wise urchin]

What server host provider can you suggest? I tried GPORTAL but it was so unstable.

[final beacon]

Okay but is it verison 596.36?

Or is there a specific version?

Like do I look for one and it completely wipes them?

[night tulip]

Thats the version number in the Nvidia app yes. And that one broke my game

[brisk girder]

rolling back didnt fix it the scrrenshot showing 94% gpu usage (sometimg dips into 98-100%) its just in the main menu with an RTX 3080 and all graphics set to medium-low and DLSS.
Doesnt make any sense.

average frame rate: 30-35 fps

[fading mesa]

Is it possible to move your Windrose Dedicated Server to a Hosted Server from a company? Been hosting a server for my friends off my computer and it's starting to slow down because we build a lot

[near talon]

what res

[night tulip]

Yeah im running high GPU also on mine but i am running 60fps at ultra settings

[lime topaz]

Intel Raptor Lake and Nvidia Ampere are like the quintessential catastrophe combo:
https://community.intel.com/t5/Blogs/Tech-Innovation/Client/Intel-Core-13th-and-14th-Gen-Desktop-Instability-Root-Cause/post/1633239
+
https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/k5lgm4/psa_3090_3080_transient_load_spikes_north_of_500w/

That and Nvidia driver bugs galore.

[brisk girder]

PFFF i dont know i will just give up, uninstall and wait for the game to fix what they need to fix as i am playing other titles more demanding and FPS never goes under 100-110FPS

[final beacon]

Okay so what type of issue is it, a Nvida drivers one?

[brisk girder]

That doesnt explain why this happens only in this game

[lime topaz]

Like those specific Nvidia cards blowing up in New World and it turned out to be faulty power stage design on certain RTX3000 cards.

Certain games can also trigger driver bugs while some other games won't.

[grim depot]

my god its annoying that this game throws you out of dedi server randomly, and now cannot get back

[brisk girder]

That is the same saying this game crashes and others dont cauz its not well made? Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate all the help I can get, but that doesn’t really say anything at all.

[haughty adder]

Hey guys, is there a way to see current players on nitrado server webinterface ?

[lethal light]

Hello guys! I'm newbie in hosting own server. How can I keep my basic dedicated server "up to date" with all game updates? As I understand, after I moved the server folder from the steam directory it won't auto-update

[wanton saddle]

For those with amd rigs : setting windows power mode to performance (not power options) fixed my low fps

[modern lava]

Normally, the updates should happen automatically.

[prime shore]

ue keeps crashing

[lethal light]

But the manual says I have to move the "server folder" out of the game directory. Will it still get updates?

[pale gull]

Is there a setting to change bell limit on a dedicated server?

[void remnant]

anyone els having backpack issues? backpack upgrades no longer add extra slots

[final beacon]

This issue with a full computer freeze seems to be PCI-E power issue imma try a rollback now

[lime topaz]

Depends on how exactly is it that you host the server.

[ocean void]

Hello one quick question does Windrose run any anti cheat software

I had a Bluescreen today after closing Windrose and my PC Support said its most likely because of a anti cheat software

[dense flare]

after the yupdate I am on a blank map. I have my character and my progress but no map and no base.

[pale kelp]

When trying to load in to a solo game, it is not loading in.

Stuck at the loading screen and gets stuck

[keen coral]

Im stuck on a forever Loading screen after launching the game

[shy crow]

no

[celest matrix]

im trying to load up windrose and it just freezes every time i click something. ive restarted and verified files

[ocean void]

Okay thanks

[nocturne rose]

I logged out from multiplayer yesterday just fine. Now there was a patch and I can not connect to or host an online session, single player works just fine. Restoring a profile backup did nothing.... This sucks 🙁

[sturdy quarry]

still cant connect to my partners game and vice versa i know this game is in early access but not to be able to join a coop game is pretty bad unless your a wiz on a pc which im not this game need some serious work needed just to get the basic stuff to work

[keen coral]

So do I have no way but to start the game over? Lol

Im stuck on the loading screen, can't select character

I've tried so many things and nothing works

[tulip glade]

Not sure where to put this. I'm having an issue when launching the game it launches at full-screen and seemingly 4k and it keeps messing with all my monitors and windows since my monitors are only 1080p. Every time I have to get into the settings and change it back to borderless full-screen while only being able to see the top left corner of the game.

[sturdy quarry]

same here theres bugs galore on this game they fix one thing and 10 more appear

[rugged shoal]

what file can you copy from an old server to a new server that contains your resources....items in storage chests and the like?

[tulip glade]

Yeah, wasn't sure if it was a bug or if something else was wrong since when it does that, every application on my computer will do the same thing.
But unfortunately with bugs, that typically how it goes, you fix one and 10 more appear.

[fierce ridge]

yeah same here, but mine launches in 6k for some reason and never saves my settings, so everytime I have to redo the settings over whenever I launch the game

[ivory oriole]

hello anyone solved black screen issue in the game

[tawdry stump]

hey, I have the game on epic and when im hosting to go into my server it loads infinitely and won't let me in does anyone else have that?
12 hours ago was everything fine

[nocturne rose]

jup same here

all I get in the log file is
[2026.04.30-18.38.39:551][280]R5LogLoadingScreen: [004280] UR5LoadingScreenManager::UpdateCurrentReason No description for loading screen reason LoadingScreen.Reason.CoopProxy.WaitingForBLConnection [D:\Source\Build\work\gameRepoCheckoutDir\Plugins\R5CommonUtils\Source\R5LoadingScreen\Private\R5LoadingScreenManager.cpp:221]

[tawdry stump]

me and 3 other friends have this, I tried hosting a new server and it didn't fix it.
When I go offline it works just fine

[sturdy knot]

Having an issue with running the dedicated server on my R240 PowerEdge, i start the batch file and it scrolls some text and then crashes. Running Server 2025, fresh install

[olive pulsar]

Yep, a bunch of us having the same issue if you scroll up. I’m playing with a group of folks on a Nitrado server and as of today I can no longer connect to it. Nor can I connect to a privately hosted game, nor can my friend connect to my game.

My friend can connect to the Nitrado server though, so apparently whatever changed is only affecting me.

I’ve tried all the usual troubleshooting things and none of them have helped. Always just loads infinitely.

[tawdry stump]

well this doesn't sound good man, I hope we get a fix soon

[frail orchid]

Download for the end, there is no solution????

[open lantern]

same here Loadingscreen will never end.... no Game Menu will appear....

[sturdy knot]

Here is my log file

[frail orchid]

What is the solution?

[hallow stream]

nice got my game broken as playing 2 diffrent computer... need to restore files from other computer, shame its 300km away from me....

[crimson otter]

When I play the game after a while my PC is all alone for no reason

[merry orchid]

Are the servers back up from yesterday's maintenance?

If yes, anyone else not able to launch a word online ?¹
-# ¹In direct ip mode, we are able to host

[nocturne rose]

sooo.. i set my nitrado server to directIP mode an now i can finally connect!!

[untold osprey]

so do we just start over if we get infinite loading screen?

[hallow stream]

backup from old save will work...

[olive pulsar]

@haughty jacinth can you give this a try for us?

[tough rune]

Hello I'm having a problem with an infinite loading screen before the game menu even appears.

[iron ridge]

How long have you left it?
What are your PC Specs?
CPU?
GPU?
RAM Amount?

[open lantern]

I uninstall the game... restart.... install new... and the loadings screen will never disappear....

PC: 9800x3d/5080/64GB

[iron ridge]

If you use the SEARCH in the top right and look for infinite loading screen as I just did many have this issue and many of them have solutions.

[keen coral]

No solutions work lmao

[sturdy knot]

Fixed the dedicated server issue, now I have an infinte loading screen too

[iron ridge]

Ah well seen at least 2 or 3 claiming to have solution.

If you get this right after an update always always VERIFY game files through Steam.

[sturdy knot]

I'm on a 7800x3d/4080 super/64GB RAM and a Gen4 NVME

[iron ridge]

Just trying to connect people to solutions.

[sturdy knot]

It finally kicked me back to the main menu

[iron ridge]

If running in 4K or WideScreen maybe revert back to normal screen/2k?

[keen coral]

I've verified, did a full reinstall, tried using an old backup save. Nothing, 64 hours gone lol

[iron ridge]

I have found some games for me if they are not installed on the same drive as Steam have horrible performance where my friends have no such issue. If that helps anyone.

[sturdy knot]

Running 4 monitors, my primary that the game is on is a 1440P/2K monitor 27"

I'm also on Bazzite/Linux

[iron ridge]

Ah was just a shot in the dark. Not a dev not an expert only trying to help.
Ah I do not know the first thing about Linux. Not even sure it is officially supported for Windrose.

[eager oasis]

Quick question and I’m sure it’s been answered already but how do I get the new update to my dedicated server with indifferent broccoli?

[tough rune]

i played ealier today at 13:15 pm
Ryzen 5 5600GT with Radeon Graphics (3.60 GHz)
Radeon RX 560 XT (8 GB)
Ram16gb

did my game just broke out of nowhere?

[open lantern]

I played today after the patch for 10 minutes to see it is all ok... All works. since 8 p.m. germany, infinitive loading screen. The I uninstall it, restart pc, install it again, and : infinitive loading screen. on a R7 9800x3d/RTX5080/64GB machine.

[hasty bobcat]

Guys, I was playing Windrose at a computer club and the screen keeps loading at the beginning. How can I fix it?

[lone cloak]

All I had to do was update my game and then update the server, it restarts and it's live.

[eager oasis]

Yea that was kinda a dumb question I found the “update” tab right after asking this lol

[lone cloak]

No you're good haha 🙂 Glad you found it! 💜

I'm having an issue with the infinite launch bug, when game launches. I've followed the FAQ but I don't HAVE the "C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\R5\Saved" folder. The appdata folder doesn't exist. I've reinstalled my game three times after trying to make changes to mods/config/r5, renaming folders, its stressful, I was playing it just fine about 3 hours ago, I got off to do some stuff around the house and now I can't get back in :/

[olive pulsar]

That folder is hidden by default, you need to be sure your View Options are set to show hidden files/folders

[digital shell]

i can get in if i create a new world but then my base is missing but still have progress

[scarlet drum]

inifinte launch bug since the update today was fine playing last night and logged on today with infinite loading screen.

[open lantern]

It is a corrupt save maybe. Use the backup folder in your "AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles" with the latest working save and copy it into the folder without the "_Backups" suffix.

[iron ridge]

That is not enough RAM for the game. Check the Steam Store page as the game Requires 16GB FREE RAM you only have that installed. Far from an expert that is however your first issue.

[twilit osprey]

yup after update cant join my friends dedicated server even with cloudflare WARP. Be carefull devs, if the bug would be inside the game (cant chop tree/ cant use boat) it would be not that punishable, but when you cant even launch game with your friends and have to use various methods to join game, and even then you cant.... You will lose players soon if you will keep going like that. Thats my guess.

[tough rune]

My mistake, I installed the game on the 1TB SSD.

[clear cradle]

same, so i assume its not just a steam issue

[lone cloak]

So I got through it, deleted the folder, was able to launch but all my characters were gone, I can't seem to get them back now. Not for my solo or my dedicated server.

[iron ridge]

This happen after the update? Epic should have a way to verify the game files as Steam Does. Could be an issue when you updated.

[snow shoal]

anyone know how to fix the infinity loading screnn issue whit out losing the charakter i got to the point where i manage to get the game running but every time i try to load my backup in its again in the loading screen

[iron ridge]

What folder did you delete? May have deleted your save.

[iron ridge]

Many with this issue and if you use SEARCH you find many have solutions. I did this for others and there are too many threads to share them all.

[scarlet drum]

they all dont work it gota come from developer side ive tried them all for 6 hours believe me

profile, account and also server affects the log in process

[lone cloak]

The SaveProfiles one, it was the only thing that allowed my game to launch, just unsure how that's a fix when you have to start all over on everything 🙁

[iron ridge]

Then if everyone reports it and supplies all the info they can it may get fixed faster. Only so many hours in a day so more people with the same issue means it could get more attention from devs.

[scarlet drum]

already have 😄

[iron ridge]

@scarlet drum Do you use Steam Cloud? There are a lot of issues with that and todays update notes said that fix is coming but not here yet. Suggestion was do not use Steam Cloud.

[tawdry stump]

My game works now
Just backed my characters up and deinstalled reinstalled und verified the game files from epic and turned off the cloud option.
That seems to be the fix in my case

[iron ridge]

I can tell you in SP with a medium spec PC I have run on Epic with 0 issues and solid 60FPS. So little personal experience with issues.

[iron ridge]

Yup Cloud Save was likely the thing.

@scarlet drum #🚧│tech-support message
See there solution maybe works for you.

[scarlet drum]

done a new load with cloud save off and on still nothing. from what i can see it conflicting profile, account settings as certain LOCK files or MANIFESTO files need to be in certain folders and the game then needs to read just one of those CORRECT profile + account settings that somehow ive tried to pinpoint but cant change my older account (OLD LOG) into the new working loading game.

using steam cloud it puts 5 more accounts and 2 more profiles into the folders which would confuse it even more

when it cant pinpoint the correct 2 files plus all the stuff in those files it continously loads as it cant find a profile or account to load. when you reinstall and delete the R5 folder it lets you start the game again

[honest glade]

how to get game to work as all i get is loading

[scarlet drum]

with a new character

thats an extensive description as i can give

[tough rune]

ok i fixed my problem

thanks who sugested to use backup savefile

🙂

[snow shoal]

hm idk i really tried everything at this pint

[bronze leaf]

Can anyone help me? My game doesnt start anymore. I have deleted local files, verified game files, reinstalled. It keeps stuck on loading when i start the game

[mild current]

Checking in after latest update. Dedicated server issues, how goes it with them?

[fringe laurel]

yeah my level 11 character is most likely going to be gone from this too having the same issue

[open lantern]

Use the backup folder in your "AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles" with the latest working save and copy it into the folder without the "_Backups" suffix.

[stone trench]

game keeps getting fatal error on main menu right after startup. yesterday was perfectly fine. today woke up to this. any ideas?

[scarlet drum]

they update it

d

now its broke

for a lot of people some people can fix it with save files but ive tried

all we need is when you log into the game to have a window come up with WHICH CHARACTER IS YOURS out of your now 10 profiles made after reinstalling it

[snow shoal]

alredy tried that i think my backup file is corrupted

[fringe laurel]

yes mine too

it has something to do with the characters fs

[scarlet drum]

yep

[fringe laurel]

yeah my whole game is now cooked turning off the cloud made it worse now i actually cannot even get on at all rip

[ivory oriole]

@woeful hull check this thread alot have the same issues as yours

[scarlet drum]

yeah reinstalled with cloud off u can get on but no characters

with cloud on it confuses the loading process for the game

[stone trench]

only way i fixed it was to fully delete save file and launch with no cloud saves...

but you have to start over.....

[royal prism]

any way to fix the infinite loading screen when i try to host my game with friend ? (happening since the update)

[fringe laurel]

yeah uh lol this might backfire everyone may not be happy but i hope im so wrong on this

they said no wipes but they may have to make us wipe characters

ofc till they fix it

[stone trench]

rip player base. inc bashing articles

[fringe laurel]

it sucks but nothing we can really do

we may even not

[stone trench]

so if you want to play that bad fully delete save folder turn off cloud then launch. you gotta start over but better then nothing.

seems to be working everytime for me now.

[scarlet drum]

yeah with a new character and profile it will do

[flat tiger]

Whats this about?

[pale kelp]

I'd rather not start over after spending 38 hours on this character

[fringe laurel]

save issues right now with characters

[scarlet drum]

yeah ive been up to like 2.30am every night last week solo working on a server

[pale kelp]

I can't even log in to a solo game let alone the dedicated server I've been playing on

[flat tiger]

wait update me whats happening

so people cant load in?

[scarlet drum]

profile, account and server folders are confusing the loading process

so infinte loading

[fringe laurel]

its mixed some people cant even load onto the world they had some cant even get past the first main loading screen to get to main menu

[scarlet drum]

some people had backups other do not

[flat tiger]

when did this happen

[stone trench]

.... now im back to crashing on load up ....

[flat tiger]

like start i mean

[scarlet drum]

after todays update worked fine last night

[flat tiger]

interesting. do you use save editor mods or anything of that or are u vanilla?

[stone trench]

no mods at all fully vanilla

[flat tiger]

really weird

[lone cloak]

Are you on dedicated or a solo host?

[silk stag]

anyone else getting infinite loading screen while hearing the beech in the background when launching the game?

[pale kelp]

Was working fine at 1am

[scarlet drum]

vanilla just on a nitrado dedicated server with 2 others who dont even play but still can play

[pale kelp]

This is the issue I have

[stone trench]

solo host. just trying to play on my own world but i cant even get past main menu

[flat tiger]

im able to load in solo on my own map

[pale kelp]

When loading in to a solo

[silk stag]

but you're able to get into the main menu?

[flat tiger]

lmme restart my game ill see if i have the same sort of thing

[scarlet drum]

cant even get into main menu

[stone trench]

i cant get into menu lol

[silk stag]

oh okay

we all experiencing this then?

[stone trench]

not all but a lot

[scarlet drum]

The ACCOUNT, PLAYER and SERVER has to be correctly linked for the profile to load correctly

[ivory oriole]

alot my brother is getting black screen before the menu

[scarlet drum]

and it still wont work

[fleet spoke]

Guys, thanks for adding triangles and other things that were missing. But please, add a 1x1 block that goes with this foundation in red. The blue ones go together, but what the hell is this weird 1x1 block doing in green? It doesn't match any other block.

[flat tiger]

so are yall expeiriencing this dot dot dot process

[scarlet drum]

its kind've funny how we can all spend hours fixing something we didnt even build. and still not fix it lol

[silk stag]

yeah as soon as I launch the game, been sitting on loading screen for 25 minutes

[ivory oriole]

days if you count for fixing

hoping its address in a major patch

[silk stag]

sounds like its a game issue, will just wait for them to fix I think

[stone trench]

yeah nvrm mines fully dead. even after deleting save files it crashes shortly after getting to menu

[flat tiger]

how did others again say they fixed it?

[ivory oriole]

its 40 hrs of gameplay that's going to be wasted because of a bug or game issue

[scarlet drum]

its annoying as my mate who doesnt even play much owns the server lol so its wastd time for me atm

[silk stag]

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1498945241477156946

[scarlet drum]

game backups which most of dont have or cant see which 1 is the older one plus messing with files in the actual folder using notepad

[cinder latch]

Just wanted to shout out i play on a hosted server permanant since todays patch server keeps locking up forcing us to manualy restart the server.

[scarlet drum]

yeah there is known issues with nitrado servers but it should still alllow people into the game to see their characters to either select solo or server

[grizzled plover]

Question... dedicated hardware server (not hosted) - launch the .bat file and it exits immediately , no log file. I've had as many as 4 instances of valheim running at the same time and it only utilized about 15% of 2 cores (Xeon E5) Any ideas? Update Nevermind - requires an SSD drive, I'll have to wait until I get home and build a new server - thanks anyway!

[flat tiger]

so if you didnt back up a new created world its damaged?

[scarlet drum]

it appears like that to me. i cant navigate which combiations it needs with the folders and files to actually load my old character

ive got 3 accounts and 5 profiles after steam cloud only have one with a fresh start

[dense flare]

does anyone know what to do if you load in to a blank map? My base is gone. I can't see any of the map. I do see quest icons for the last 2 quests (I am level 14).

I basically only have what I've got on me and everything else is gone.

[stone trench]

ughhh im sad

tried everything in all guides but nada

[flat tiger]

how many worlds do you have that u dont use?

or dont really use

maybe if you try uninstalling and reinstalling

[stone trench]

did that also

[scarlet drum]

i have 1 world the dedicated nitrado server and 1 more my friends own hosted server. i only used 1 character which was level 12. i played on the server for 55 hours whilst 2 friends didnt play as much. i was playing last night late and logged on today to upgrade my stuff after gathering all mats last night and got inifnte loading screen so tried the fixes online as it said all the servers were up and fine with windrose

[brazen kindle]

anyone having issues fast traveling to tortuga it freezes my game than i eventually get an application hung error msg and i have to restart my pc

[twilit osprey]

I mean i know its early access but damn, if it would be bugs with something else but not the launch game itself then it would be ok... but...

[scarlet drum]

cant stand complete lost progress i cant understand rollbacks etc

CAN

[dense flare]

I lost a base full of endgame stuff. I think the devs need to provide a way for admins to spawn in items, including coins, in case this happens again (which it will).

[mild current]

Anyone got dedicated server working with Ubuntu and Wine? I am using AMP but server crashes.

[livid glacier]

My game freezes at loading screen and I cant quit the game sadge

[livid glacier]

getting that multiple times 10 min ago

[iron birch]

okay so... i have a weird problem just tonight.

joined my friends world no problem, played for 30mins and got disconnected suddenly without any error messages and now trying to reconnect it's stuck at loading and throws me back to main menu..? even tried without firewall etc.

2 of my friends are playing rn normally but i just can't reconnect, any advices what could be wrong here?

[brazen kindle]

ye i had to restart my computer fixed itself

[livid glacier]

oh ill try that too then. nice

[twilit osprey]

Game is fun, but i will give it a pause until devs will make this game playable...

[twilit osprey]

give up same problem was with my friend and myself. Sometimes it works sometimes its not. I get tired of messing around, when i payed 30euro

[scarlet drum]

seems like most of us 😄

[iron birch]

so game issue? 😄 should have know update and they break something lol

[flat tiger]

The backup issue is the only way around, luckily i had about a billion backups

[scarlet drum]

can you explain how you did this

[twilit osprey]

so some players even lost their chars?

[scarlet drum]

please lol

[flat tiger]

yep lmme just get the details so i dont gotta like type it all out

[stone trench]

........................................

I FEEL SO F!$@#ING DUMB

[frail orchid]

الووو

[scarlet drum]

where even is that folder with all them in?

[dense flare]

<rant mode on> I get that this game is early access but losing 60 hours worth of progress/materials when an update is rolled out is nonsense. I didn't change my server, I just ran the app_update in SteamCMD and now when I load I have no map and my base full of materials is just gone. No fast travel markers, no idea where Tortuga or the fanction hubs are, just a bunch of grey and an empty beach. Beyond disappointing.

[stone trench]

i figured out my issue.... -_-

[flat tiger]

what was it lmao

[livid glacier]

Restarted and it didnt work. getting the "Hung" warning

[stone trench]

i forgot to adjust my overclock settings

[twilit osprey]

i like how you guys try every single fix method when you shouldn't do it, its devs job to fix it, not yours

[livid glacier]

its fun to try tho

[stone trench]

irdc. i enjoy starting over occasionally. i can do better this time around

[dense flare]

My husband is just starting to gather things again, but I'm mad because I wasted so many hours gathering materials! My time is worth more than that to me.

[autumn whale]

Is everyone here stuck in loading screen?

[stone trench]

i was but dont take my advice on how to fix it

[cerulean oar]

please help. what do i do??

all i can do is quit

[scarlet drum]

same

[twin barn]

infinit loop in Tortuga for me

[cerulean oar]

i just fixed mine

so i had a few mods . i updated them and i looked in my recycle bin and i accidentaly removed the pakchunk3-release steam file

hope that helps u . good luck

[scarlet drum]

"Unfortunately Steam Cloud Saves fixes are still in the works (we want to be especially careful with your game progress!), but even without them, it's going to be a substantial improvement of your experience in Windrose" on the announcement page earlier. that aged well

[inland arrow]

Not getting stuck in loads but right after I fast travel almost always in Tortuga it freezes the entire game and i have to close. Does anyone know whats up with that?

[night tulip]

Sounds like an update needs to be rolled back and fixed before a rerelease.

[inland arrow]

Was happening before the update too :/

[night tulip]

Yeah the cloud save issues. Everything else not so much lol

[scarlet drum]

yeahmy backups are gone and the steam cloud saves arent helping at all i cant do anythnig else now been 9 hours of trying to figure it out

[frail orchid]

[dusty chasm]

why am i getting a server error when it all says available. I cant log into the server my buddy created??? i was playing on it just fine and then all of a sudden it just updated the game in steam and now i cant get back on the server

[jaunty wolf]

I also just got DC'd from a friends dedicated server and cannot get back in

[inner orchid]

anyone know why my fps has dropped really low since getting the new frig (blackbeards) i was on 80+ now on 35 when sailing or near it ? is it common with that ship?

[sage silo]

Im playing on a steamdeck… ever since the update i cant join the dedicated server me and my friends are running. Anyone with same issue or a solution?

[cinder latch]

same keeps happaning to our server just have to restart it thats it for now

[sage silo]

Restart the server ?

[still trail]

was the server updated?

[cinder latch]

yes if its a rented server ourts is ZAP hosting the server locks up only thing can do is to restart the server

[sage silo]

My friends are currently in there playing rn, so im assuming it has been.

[sage silo]

Ok ill ask the server host to do a reset, thanks!

[lunar oriole]

So I did all the fixes that i could find for the infinite loading screen from, disabling cloud launching renabling cloud on the steam side, to updating my graphics card, to running as admin, and none of the fixes ive found have worked

[livid glacier]

im just going to wait to see if the devs need to do something

[lunar oriole]

its crazy how cloud just straight up screws the game over

[still trail]

likely the fact it's hundreds and hundreds of small files

guessing best solution would be to archive them into one and expand in memory instead

that's what I do on my server, tarball the world for a backup so it's just one file

[pine compass]

yep same thing here, may be an issue with new patch

Im just putting the game down until its fixed I guess

[olive pulsar]

Part of the problem is people talk about infinite loading screen but there’s 2 different types. One is it loads infinitely and you never even get to the character selection

The other is it loads infinitely when you try to connect to a server.

The original issue has happened for quite a while and the fix usually involves restoring a backup of your character.

The new issue seems like more of a recent problem due to some changes to the networking. Someone posted that changing the server to use Direct IP connection might be a workaround, but I haven’t seen much confirmation yet.

[lunar oriole]

my issue is loading into the game, but i can load into the game when i disable cloud i just dont have my character

[iron ridge]

Also make sure that IF you are playing with others that 100% no one is running mods. https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1499498191052214302
Had this issue and the issue....buddy was running a mod and they were not. Simple things like that make for huge issues. Also a variable the Devs can not account for IF they do not know of it.

[iron ridge]

That would be an issue with Steam. From what I have learned Steam is meant to backup your save in the cloud but the file should exist on your PC still. Have you looked in your AppData/Local forget the rest for the character files/

#1491867519395299508 has tools to help with working save files too.

[unkempt pendant]

Today me and my gf, we have found out that we need to disable Cloudflare WARP when we needed it before. The new update made it unconnectable with it.

[iron ridge]

Together between the 2 find a way to solve this for you.

[still trail]

disabling mods is kind of a quick step to always take if you're running any

[warped sun]

everytime i try to host a game, it gets back into main menu right after loading

[still trail]

even if you don't think they're related

[iron ridge]

That thread I linked to however the person did not know that their buddy was using a mod so they did not have the mod. I share information I think could help on any level. May not be much but in the past it has been a great help. I do this not just here however. Game is new so less info. Learn as I go so always happy for legit information.

[fading hull]

Anyone know whats wrong with me joining my dedicated server? I previously was able to join and then i noticed some lag and then I disconnected to see if it would fix and when I tried rejoining, it wont fully connect me anymore. My friends are still able to join but I can't. I dont want to lose my players save progress has anyone encountered this and was able to resolve?

[sage silo]

Are you on steamdeck? Cause im having same issue

[fading hull]

No not steam deck

[steel thorn]

what is that fix ? i have it while connecting on my server every second time. Strange thing... when i click i hear me attack.

[fading hull]

It definitely is something wrong with my player save file and i really dont wanna reset im level 13

[edgy hornet]

yaaa im suddenly stuck in an infinite loading screen just trying to load into the main menu... it started with i was on the dedicated server i play on and suddenly couldn't interact with like doors and couldnt go into build mode so i quit out... now i cant even load into character seection suddenly (i had been playing off nd on on solo all day till now)

[trail wharf]

Hello!

I'm having a couple of weird things happening in my game, and am wondering if this happens to anyone else and if anyone has a fix.

I've picked up Essense Arborum, but my discoveries don't show it highlighted and I can't build the table that turns it into bars. Other players on the server can build it.

My Forgotten Relics quest is telling me to find other writings in the swamp, but I have no map markers left. It says I have 3/4 priestess writings, but I don't know where the last one is.

[marble drift]

I logged off while sailing... now when i try to log back in i just get an infinite loading screen. I restarted my computer and nothing. I can't even get to the character select screen.

[trail wharf]

Infinate loading before getting to the main menu seems to mean that the player info is corrupted 🙁

[marble drift]

So how did that happen? And do I reinstall or what?

[restive quail]

Have this happening to someone else right now.

[fading hull]

Yea my player info corrupted as well.. gonna go kermit sewer slides

[restive quail]

Except they were on our server, and the server crashed

[marble drift]

It appears to be something to do with Deleting a charcter from the in game menu

[trail wharf]

The how I don't know.

My guess for fixing it would be - Go to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles and rename the folder, that should get the game to work again but it will create a whole new player account. You could then try copying folders/files from the corrupted save to the new save to see if you can recover the world again.

I had the save corruption, when I was trying to move worlds between me and another person. I messed it up somehow and it wouldn't load.

[marble drift]

i recently did that

[light oar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XG3yeCZo42I

[trail wharf]

I totally forgot, there should be backups in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles

[marble drift]

Yep, that was the problem. Reccomend just not deleting any characters

Additional question since I'm having some FPS issues while playing. Which video setting affects performance the most? I used the "Auto-set Quality" button but i'm still having issues while in my base and while in naval battles.

[edgy hornet]

i watched this and followed along and i do not have those extra files...

[light oar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEl0mUDlMBM

[light oar]

extra directories in Account? I copied everything away and deleted contents of Backup dir in AppData/Local/R5..... Then cleared everything in main folder, and just copied back 1 dir in Accounts that matches AccountDetails.json , then from backup folder coped Worlds and Players trying different dates (as the backup folder structure is date_time) until finding one that works, then going forwards by backup date with my main untill it stopped working.

with cloud saves off

[edgy hornet]

ya i dont have extra directories under account, players or worlds

[light oar]

Did you play coop with someone or only solo? Or someone played through Steam Familly/Game sharing?

[edgy hornet]

i mostly play on a dedicated server but sometimes i hop into solo if our serve ris down

and the game is on my accoun

attempting to load in with cloud saves off

[frozen talon]

I cant connect to my dedicated server either with windrose. Windrose just updated. I am going to restart the server and see what happens

[pine compass]

I think theres just connectivity issues rn

[light oar]

Does the world match the AccountDescription.json file content in RocksDB folder?

[pine compass]

You're far from the only one

[edgy hornet]

yes

[light oar]

Can u check your backups folder, it should have structure like

[edgy hornet]

or well the alphanumeric sequence matches the folder in account but players and world is different

[light oar]

go 1 up. Should have 7656......._backup

[edgy hornet]

?

[frozen talon]

I restarted my Nitrado Server and restarted Windrose. after restarting Windrose the connect to server screen was slightly different. I am now playing on my server with my friends

[pine compass]

:0

[light oar]

Cd Up to SavedProfiles directory

[honest siren]

Did you ever figure this out? Update made server lose all progress

[light oar]

If you remember the last time it worked that list is in yearmonthday_time format

[trail wharf]

Check to see if it changed the World ID in the ServerDescription.json. It did that to me and created a new world, but once I changed it back to the original one, my world was back

[edgy hornet]

like earlier this morning

proly the 12:54 pm one

[honest siren]

ty i'll look into it

[edgy hornet]

that folder also only has 1 folder in each of accounts/players/worlds

[light oar]

enter in that one 200260430_125415

[trail wharf]

Check R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\Default\RocksDB\0.10.0\Worlds to see if there's multiple world folders. The newer one is probably the one it just made - if there's only one folder though 🙁

[light oar]

replace contents of Rocks_dB\0.10.0\ with those ones (backup the 3 directories first ofc)

[edgy hornet]

ok

[light oar]

if it does not work, try 1 earlier from 12:54

[edgy hornet]

ok

[edgy hornet]

it loaded into the menu at least thx

[light oar]

good stuff!!!

Now, backup the player directory, and try to copy the ones later in the day

[edgy hornet]

now hopefully i can load into the server xP

[edgy hornet]

?

i loade dintot he dedicated server im on

[honest siren]

We keep changing the worldid but it keeps reverting back

[light oar]

if you played after 12:54 your player progress is in those 20260430_xxxxxxx directories. You can try to copy only the player directory to retain the progress

[edgy hornet]

funny thing is its way after tht 12:54 pm time but when i loaded into the server my progress was exactly wher ei left it when i first had the interact not work and had to force quit my game

[light oar]

ok, then keep the 12:54 one as at least it works

[edgy hornet]

ya ty very much 🙂

[light oar]

anytime

[snow hull]

Release notes say that server was optimized when idle.

doesn't seem any better from looking at this

ah wait, disregard.. I got the update bug 🙁
Update state (0x3) reconfiguring, progress: 0.00 (0 / 0)
Update state (0x0) unknown, progress: 0.00 (0 / 0)
Error! App '4129620' state is 0x6 after update job.

[olive pulsar]

FYI, for those having the issue of not being able to connect to a server and it just gets stuck loading forever, try configuring the server to use Direct IP connect instead. That fixed it for me.

[trail wharf]

The server is shutdown when you changed it? If so, maybe copy the whole dedicated server folder to somewhere else on the computer? That way Steam shouldn't be able to touch it?

[trail wharf]

Mine dropped from 20% CPU to 3% CPU when idle

[snow hull]

Yeah, looks great now.. had to clear manifest to shake steamcmd loose

[reef quail]

So my friend STILL has the same issue of joining, where he will join my game, i see his ship spawn, i see him spawn, but then his game freezes on the loading screen and eventually gives a "Application hang detected" error, and crashes.
And there seems to be no reason behind it, its ENTIRELY random when it happens, and when it doesnt happen. We cant figure out what exactly the issue is.
Also the new force join thing they added doesnt help

[honest siren]

We use bisect hosting not local

[agile cloud]

Hey does someone know how i can trasnfer my world to dedicated server?

[honest siren]

Yeah it is shutdown, I am very confused

[trail wharf]

Does bisect have admin software that lets you set the world id? Maybe it's overwriting the file? The other option, copy all the files from the old world folder into the new world folder and hope it works?

[pale wind]

Sorry guys I think you're actively talking about this very issue, but confused about the responses. Any idea why I can't connect to my dedicated server? Using SteamCMD and getting this error. Just can't get it to work since the new update

[trail wharf]

Yes. You copy the folder under C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\USERID\RocksDB\0.10.0\Worlds folder to your dedicated servers \R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\Default\RocksDB\0.10.0\Worlds folder and then set the world id to the folder name you just copied in the ServerDescription.json file in in servers R5 folder.

Assuming your user folder is on C:

[tame moat]

so when is windrose going to fix their broken update ?

[trail wharf]

In the future?

[tame moat]

pff now

[fierce spoke]

Waiting for a Hotfix

[agile cloud]

Perfect brother thanks !

[honest siren]

Yes, we changed it there too. It keeps creating a new world everytime we restart

[trail wharf]

For me, the file got updated by Steam once, but changing it made it work. If it's making a new world every time, there must be something wrong with the software that is controlling the server 🙁

[honest siren]

Looks like it yeah... gonna open a ticket with bisect hosting see if they can resolve it, thank you for your help

[trail wharf]

I hope they get it sorted. I suggest backing up your world off their server, just in case. Probably overly cautious, but if they can't fit it, you could maybe move it somewhere else.

[near radish]

can i get a refund?! i'm not about to delete my save files for a second time! give me a refund how do i get a refund

[trail wharf]

Don't know how to get a refund, but did you try restoring them from one of the backups?

[near radish]

nah i shouldnt have to do this bs or look up how to do this bs

[merry oriole]

we have a odd error where our dedicated server says its updated but still says a client version mismatch. i think we need a hot fix lol

[digital drift]

Yeah defo give us a holler! 🙂

[trail wharf]

Is this a ded server you downloaded running locally?

[merry oriole]

my buddys running it locally on his spare pc

[trail wharf]

I can tell you how to do it. It's happened to me too a few times.

[mild sigil]

My game just updated today and I tried to manually update my dedicated server (it said it updated successfully) but it still says the versions do not match. I have tried multiple things from the website and it still says they do not match. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[trail wharf]

Same setup as me. I made a copy of files and use them to run the server, that way I can have Steam delete and redownload files if updates fail, without it messing with my server settings and world files

[trail wharf]

Same issue as @merry oriole . My suggestion is backup your server files, make sure you have the world files (R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\Default) backed up, then delete and have it redownload everything, assumign you only have one set of files.

[merry oriole]

we just tried that and yea same thing

[fading kayak]

Yes I get that also, here is how I fixed it, just re-run the install script, dont remove anything, will not over write your saves. But backup always.

for some reason the steam update scripts dont work

[trail wharf]

I used the Steam desktop client to download the server files, before copying the files over, making sure I didn't copy the ServerDescription.json file. SteamCMD doesn't always work for me

[haughty jacinth]

Changing your Nitrado server to connect via direct IP seems to fix the forever loading screen issue by the way

[autumn jewel]

So idk whats going on with my game, but when i attempt to connect to my freinds sever...it casues my router to reset and knock everyone off my wifi

[azure wind]

Is there any known issue with Windrose locking up if you tab to another window?
I run dual monitors and didn't have a problem until around monday. now everytime I tab out to type in Discord or anything else, Windrose locks up and I have to restart my computer to be able to restart Windrose.

[glass bay]

I followed the instruction from this video and I am still having the infinite loading glitch. I even went and deleted the whole R5 folder and reinstalled the game and it's still happening.

[charred echo]

One of my players on my dedi is hitting "GsStream P2pClient is broken ... BL P2PGate disconnected ... " - is everyone getting this? Any fix?

[autumn jewel]

Is there any reason why connecting to Server would cause it to complety crash my router

[halcyon yew]

correct me if im wrong but last time i got it working again...

Backup world > delete docker container > reinstall > move world > change Server Description to poitn to world ID...that should be it rihgt?

[potent girder]

trying to put a copy of my world in my local games folder to build on one and adventure on the other, but have the same maps and progress.

google says I should be able to change the name of the world folder as long as I change the name in the json file to be the same as the folder.

when i run the game the new copy is there. But when I launch that one it starts to load and then kicks me back to the main screen.

anybody know a work around?

[pale wind]

having the same issue, dont know the fix

[charred echo]

I switched to Direct IP and now all my PCs at home can connect... One player is "is BLConnected with session 33C736... at R5.log:3360 and still stuck State 'BLConnected' with NetAddress '' at R5.log:3477
No NotifyAcceptedConnection or Join request exists for Corey’s session. ISP issue?

[sturdy knot]

If I do "Direct connect" rather than invite id what port do i put if it's on my local network ? what would i put for others outside of my network to join? I port forwarded 7777 and 7778, problem i'm having is InviteID is causing never-ending loading screen

[charred echo]

Running on a hotspot fixed it...? Wut

[halcyon yew]

is anyone eseeing Unexpected BL Disconnet?
