That may explain my friends problem too lol

[vernal hound]

Hello! I suddenly can't get our server to load. I click play, host a game, select my game and confirm, EU & NA and confirm, game goes to 'loading' for a few seconds, and then bounces me back to the first PLAY screen. I've tried restarting the game and Steam. Any ideas what might be going on?

[stark radish]

ah okay thank you

[vernal hound]

OH?! Has it been confirmed that the NA servers are down?

[tight ledge]

NA/EU SERVERS ARE DOWN FOR HOSTING - YOU NEED TO SOLO you are welcome

[fading marsh]

time to host on SEA

[spark merlin]

I think all servers are down, cause I tried SEA, as well as the other ones,

[lucid garden]

Just bought the game and randomly it comes up with an error saying I've run out of vram....any ideas? I've got a 6800XT GFX

[tribal aurora]

are the servers offline ?

[plain apex]

Yes, you'll have to play offline for now

NA/EU SERVERS ARE DOWN FOR HOSTING - YOU NEED TO SOLO FOR NOW

[soft wagon]

We are playing with friends and we live in 1 city
They have 60 ping and I have 180-300
HOw to fix this BS?

[thin junco]

Anyone that can help me with crashing dedicated server that I'm playing with my friend?

[plain apex]

who's hosting?

[soft wagon]

friend

[plain apex]

#🚧│tech-support message

[plain apex]

maybe they just got poopy router or somethin

[soft wagon]

we are in CIS region

[spark merlin]

@tribal aurora Try using SEA instead of NA.
@plain apex Yes the NA servers are down. But there are 2 others. maybe offer that up as a suggestion.
@soft wagon Sounds like your connection to your friends server is bad. Usually tends to be with there router or Provider.

[soft wagon]

They all have good ping, but me no
And I did see someone also have this kind of problem.
1 out of 4 players have bad ping

[soft wagon]

We was using CIS and EU they have same 60 ping but I have 180-300

[noble zealot]

Unable to join friends server who usually hosts on NA/EU but has gone to CIS as the servers are down... Its saying "the client and server versions do no match" any advice?

[plain apex]

idk what's goin on lol just regurgitating what i'm seeing a lot of

[iron ridge]

If you are getting that message then that is part of your issue. Make sure your game is up to date and then do the same with the server. Do not think just because you told Steam CMD to update that it worked. The update can fail and so a repeat may be needed.
Even if you pay a host company they still get the files from Steam CMD you just do not see it directly. Though with a host you could reach out to them IF the 2nd update attempt fails. Could be on their end.

[autumn whale]

Is there any fix for the endless loading screen?

[iron ridge]

Yes #1499751996360753263 message

If you have it before the main menu your save got corrupted.

[dense sparrow]

@autumn whale @iron ridge do this

It fixed it and you can go back to live version and saves all your data

#│public-test-instructions

[thin junco]

any way to fix errors for world files that will stop server initialization?

[iron ridge]

Yeah I have been directly people to that one thread as there is an explaination from someone that did it. I think that was you? Sorry not good with names.

[iron ridge]

Look in #1491867519395299508 after going to id:customize to get permission for the channel.

[thin junco]

Don't have any modes. Here is one of the errors that I have when I try to start my server:
!!! R5Check happens !!!

[long quarry]

Hello, my game keeps sending me into loading screen and back into main menu or it keeps crashing without an error message. How can I fix that?

[iron ridge]

Well I supplied help based on your question. I am not really a Tech expert but I can copy/paste with the best of them. There are Save Editors in #1491867519395299508 but you need the other channel to get in there.

[wet juniper]

anyone know how to display latency?

[plush owl]

Does anyone know when NA/EU will be back up?

[willow raptor]

Hi ,i just got lvl 2 but did not get any talents points is this normal ?

[scenic geyser]

Hey bitte keine Hasstiraden schwingen, habe mir 2 - 3 Mods huntergeladen, seitdem funktioniert kein Rucksack mehr. Mods runtergeworfen und Game neuinstalliert, hat auch nichts gebracht. Hat einer nh Lösung dafür oder schon mal das selbe erlebt?

[iron ridge]

As up in #🤝│player-help they would know. I forget.

[iron ridge]

Might be able to through Steam they extended the settings they had for showing FPS to show more.

[spice yacht]

Anyone able to offer me some support related to Windrose Server Manager? it does not update the server files for some reason

[iron ridge]

Did you install the server with the manager?

[spice yacht]

Yes i did Scooby

[iron ridge]

I have not set up a server yet but saw that in #1491867519395299508

Humm......does it do anything when you click update? Could be on Steam's end.

The manager would use Steam CMD to do it

[spice yacht]

I dont have an update button or i cant find that button

[iron ridge]

Ah.....well.....

[spice yacht]

Start Stop Restart Force-kill only

[iron ridge]

Could look for the thread in #1491867519395299508 related to the manager sure others have ran into this, could have answers.

[spice yacht]

ok thank you mate

[iron ridge]

Happy help. That fails ping me can try other things.

[crude spruce]

When I enter the game, it freezes on the loading screen and doesn’t even reach the main menu.

[autumn whale]

Yeah, its been happening for me aswell for the last two days since the last update.

[iron ridge]

[crude spruce]

Hmmm, i see

[boreal ravine]

Those instructions don't always work for the infinite loading screen. I have that issue and I have tried those instructions, deleting my character/worlds, rebooting my router and computer, and completely reinstalling the game. Still stuck with the infinite loading screen.

[flat bramble]

Having the same issue..constant loading screen

only started today, never had a prob before

[autumn whale]

Yep, same. Tried with different computerts aswell. And honestly, its ridiculous that the solution they give us is to take backup of a folder, launch game, delete folder. They should just do a rollback from the update they did. Game worked perfectly before the update.

[iron ridge]

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1499411730131062975
Is something different you are not deleteing anything.

[boreal ravine]

Go back and reread the last message I posted. I already tried it the way the instructions say.

[iron ridge]

The information is there guys many people reporting it fixes it. Try or do not up to you. Otherwise wait for official release.
Others said adjusting something with DLL or something helped too. Read #1493364524705775657 threads.

[iron ridge]

Take some time to read the information in this Discord. Leave the attitude on Steam Forums. I am a player like you trying to connect people to information. I do not need to reread anything.
If you did some reading you would learn more things.
If you can not get to the main menu that is a corrupted save. Turn off Steam Cloud roll to a backup. Look in #1491867519395299508 after going to id:customize there is a save editor you can work to fix things. Reading is how you will solve this. Simple as that.

[boreal ravine]

I've already read through all the steps that are listed on this

Still nothing.

[iron ridge]

Well then shelf the game until something else is found I guess. I have seen that resolution and one other reading as I suggested. Sorry best I offer.

[cosmic oasis]

Had the broken Journal bug and tried everything before uninstalling.
Reinstalled and copied my characters and worlds over into the newly created Profile.
The worlds show up fine but don't see my characters, any help or link?
No idea why it would be difficult to copy my characters to the new Profile. 🤷‍♂️
TIA

[hoary roost]

So, is there any news on what's causing the NA/EU servers to be down?

My boyfriend got to load his world in co-op by forcing the connection, but I wasn't able to join him in any manner: Neither steam, nor by IP worked.

We were kind of joking that it seems like someone must not be happy about the devs selling 1.5 million copies lol (Congrats on that by the way!)

[autumn steeple]

any number of things tbh.

servers are a fickle thing. I'm more surprised it hasn't been announced yet.

[dense sparrow]

Yep it was

Since it worked I’ve been plastering it everywhere I can

So ppl see it

You’ve gotta follow the instructions to a t and use the bottom code to enter public test mode

[plain apex]

The democrats caused it

[hoary roost]

Thank you! So it's basically just find something else to do until they're back up?

[autumn steeple]

Solo play is fun too! Build something grand 😮

[plain apex]

aw nuts

[plain apex]

then i blame it on Christopher Columbus

[autumn steeple]

That's better? Ish?

[plain apex]

[autumn whale]

Just do as Scooby said. Shelf the game for a couple of months until they get these bug fixed. Love the game, but that they cant be able to play the game for two days becuase of an update that they could have rolled back and fixed, and instead let people try these methods for a quick fix. Enshroued is out and its in great condition and Subnautica 2 is out i under two weeks.

[plush owl]

So there’s no word on when servers will be back up?

[autumn steeple]

Nope!

[winged gazelle]

Would it work if you use a gportal server?

[cunning patio]

I'd love to see that you guys adding the option to save the server or at least to have a recently joined servers 🙂

[cosmic oasis]

After reinstall due to bug issue.
The game keeps trying to give me a new 0.10.0/Account # .
Instead of using the one already existing.
So it seems to only see the new Account #, where none of my players exist.
How do I make it use my current characters, I was using just hours ago, until a bug.

[low depot]

iv set up a dedicated server that me and my friend are using , when i logged off i kicked him out the game and he couldn't join untill i was back on line running the windrose dedicated server . (Why run a dedicated server?
A dedicated server lets you have a world that’s always running. You and your friends can join anytime — no need for the host to be online. Great for co-op when schedules don’t match, like building ships alone then sailing together later.) this is a snipet from the dedicated server guide that says he can join even when im not on line but he cant untill iv got it running on my pc . and help would be much appreciated

[still trail]

dedicated or not they can only exist when you're running them

dedicated servers are usually meant to leave running, not shut down when you get off. that defeats much of the purpose

[stark ore]

So mine keeps showing me this, or it’ll just go back to the main menu or close the game, so should I delete and reinstall the game or is there a better approach?

[still trail]

how much vram do you have?

[stark ore]

I’m not sure how can I check that?

[still trail]

hit start, then type system and click that, should have your card in the top part

will look like this

[stark ore]

It says 4 gb

[still trail]

might be why, mine is taking 7GB on medium textures

[plain apex]

is that a freaking GTX

[still trail]

try dropping your textures to as low as they'll go

[plain apex]

this channel is like a time machine, i feel like i just went back 10 years haha

(the card has nothing to do w/ this, im just amazed to see a GTX in 2026 haha)

[still trail]

that card has everything to do with it, he's running out of vram lol

[plain apex]

i know much less than i usually think i do 🙂

but his issue is just same all of us, NA/EU being down. no?

[still trail]

naw his error says he's running out of video memory

[plain apex]

oh ya nvm im sorry i was looking at a diff screenshot than his

[still trail]

his error:

[stark ore]

But it’s shown that and like other things of like just an error but not saying why

[still trail]

can't explain other errors I haven't seen. that one says you're running out of vram

[stark ore]

I also have 16 of installed ram but idk if that’s a difference

[still trail]

16gb of ram is fine. memory and video memory are separate (normally)

[stark ore]

Going to see if I turn on my dlss if that will work

[slow star]

How come I just get endless loading when trying to enter my world?

[cosmic oasis]

Did you recently delete a character or world?
It's very weird, the game does not actually delete it.
So it's looking for the character you just deleted.

[sinful root]

Good afternoon,

I am playing on a Lenovo Legion with a NVDIA 5080 and onboard video.
The system by design switches back and forth between the dedicated video card and the onboard video as needed to save battery life.
The issue that I am having that this game does a hard switch to the dedicated video card (like a second monitor).
That would not be an issue, except when I come out of the game the system is stuck in that mode and I have to log off or reboot to release it.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Thank you,
Boats

[slow star]

No, i havent deleted any characters. I just have the 1 I have had since the beginning

[cosmic oasis]

Is it a online game world, apparently the servers are down?
Not sure seen several posts about 20 above.
Did you try starting the game Solo?

[idle mica]

Hello. Im having the same issue as mentioned by Sapphie... Stuck on a loading screen. Cant even get to the game main menu after launching the game...

[sage geode]

hey all, do you have any server provider recomendations? as well if they allow editing of the server files to add in a few mods.

[lime topaz]

The game can, at most, switch Power Profiles in Windows, and that's about all it can do.
So do be checking that and check which performance profile you selected in the GPU driver.

[hoary nymph]

heya, I tried to start the game but all I get is an infinite loading screen trying to get to the title screen

[lime topaz]

Corrupted Save Data
Common symptoms:

• My game won't start
• I'm launching the game for the first time and cannot load into the main menu
• I've played the game before, but today I started the game and it won't load for me
• Something happened to my world or my character

[indigo marten]

To be fair though it isnt always bad saves. I couldn't access my world earlier but I stepped away to day drink, came back and everything works.

Modern problems require modern solutions.

[lime topaz]

trying to get to the title screen
is very much save related

[quick thistle]

I can't load my server anymore, it goes back to the lobby every time

[light adder]

If you're trying to load it on the NA/EU connection, it's down currently, have to use one of the other options

[quick thistle]

oh okay thank you

[versed magnet]

@lime topaz thanks for the link! Fixed my game right up! Used the back up files and it saved my characters I’ve been working on!!!

[crimson urchin]

I’m assuming SEA probably stands for Seattle as I went down too and I never selected NA / EU since it defaulted to SEA.

[light adder]

Honestly not sure what SEA stands for but it is my default as well, but that's a safe assumption

[light adder]

It could also stand for Southeast Asia

[crimson urchin]

If it’s Asia that’s a far distance from LAX 🤣

[light adder]

Yup, and quite stable feeling honestly, at least from my experience

[crimson urchin]

Indeed, that’s why I just assumed Seattle because it’s butter smooth. Well, I guess I’ll take a break from base building since the game doesn’t even load now.

[light adder]

I can only assume it's caused by overloaded servers due to the weekend

[sinful root]

Thanks,

I'll take a look but it is the only game I play that gives me this issue

[rugged hearth]

i make a back up copy for worlds and players but when i restore it to the game file only the world come back and i cant get my character back can anyone help pls

Hello i purchased the game and when im trying to join a friends server or make my our or private i get fatal error and it closes its not giving me detail or nothing it just closes with Fatal Error, anyone know how to fix that?

[pearl wraith]

Is there any way to control or limit teleportation on a dedicated server?

[vivid hemlock]

i think there's a server json file somewhere and the owner has to make changes?

[grim helm]

How do you fix this problem

[dense sparrow]

With this #│public-test-instructions

Follow these instructions I made

Step 1:
find your save files following the steps in the instructions

Step 2:
copy paste ur save files to another folder so u have a backup

Step 3: go to your game - right click - properties - in the beta section - use the code PublicTest292026

Download the public test

Start game

It will tell you the files are corrupted and offer to delete

Run game and it works great

Pop into singleplayer and run around for 1minute

Pop back out

Then pop back in and make sure it saves

Leave game

Go into folder and open up save profiles

Run game as normal version

While live in menu go into ur files and delete the DB2 files

Exit game

Reopen game

Fixed forever

[timid panther]

why my fps so low with dlss 4x frame gen? 14700k 5080

[cerulean nymph]

Do I have to do this for each character?

I have 3... Im kinda an altoholic,,

[marble wing]

is the NA/EU server still down?

[red hearth]

can you run the game on linux?

[rigid lintel]

I'm sorry if this might have been asked already, how can I fix this? Yesterday it was working fine and then I tried opening windrose today and I am stuck in loading screen after the Unreal Engine, which is supposedly lead me to the Main Menu. I tried to restart and also verify integrity files but its still the same.

[proven osprey]

Happening to a few people from what I understand, mate 🙁 Not seen a fix that works for me yet

[cerulean nymph]

Unfortunately this only worked partially. I can access all 3 of my characters and all 3 of their unique worlds in the public beta test with this... but once I revert to the live version, I am stuck at the loading screen again. :/

[dim agate]

Has anyone created a dedicated server on free tier Oracle Cloud?

[sacred ledge]

Weird issue I need help with. My game just crashed. Steam is saying its still running. I selected "stop" and now its been "stopping" for 5 minutes. I cant close steam. Is this a game issue or a steam issue?

[sleek wagon]

Anyone having a issue with the game when you leave the screen? Mine locks up everytime

[hexed maple]

I just bought the game and tried to launch, it won’t launch no matter what I do. I’ve gone through all the steps and still nothing.

[teal pasture]

Yes with crossover, I’m on Mac and use crossover but I’m stuck playing solo until they fix this last patch update 😢

[lime topaz]

You could be more specific.

[hexed maple]

I have clicked the play button. It says “playing” for two seconds, then does nothing. Then acts like I didn’t hit play.

I’ve done all the things in the faq to fix this. Reinstalling, verifying, dx12, updating drivers, updating c++, launch as admin, etc.

[lime topaz]

Depends on how it "crashed", make a manual backup of your saves as soon as possible and reboot your PC.
If the game will keep crashing in the future, create a thread in #1493364524705775657 and submit your crash logs, game logs, save data and dxdiag.

[lime topaz]

Could you share the basic specifications of your PC ?

[hexed maple]

There is no crash as it just doesn’t boot. It’s the initial boot that isn’t working. There is no save and I even deleted the save folder and it just comes back.

I have 24 gb ram, a 2060 nvidia graphics card

It’s the first time launching the game so there isn’t any data, I’ve reinstalled multiple times and it just doesn’t boot.

Been at this for hours so I apologize if I seem rude

[lime topaz]

Do share full basic specs or a dxdiag report.

[hexed maple]

does this help?

[lime topaz]

Yep but you won't like the answer

Intel Xeon X5687 is below minimum hardware requirements and won't be able to boot the game (missing AVX instruction set).

[hexed maple]

Ahh I see. So just need to update that.

[lime topaz]

Yea, requires a CPU no older than Intel Sandy Bridge (i.e. Intel Core i7-2700)

[hexed maple]

Ok. Thank you I appreciate it

[naive python]

Hi,

I am running a dedicated server through Nitrado. I took my local save from 2 weeks ago and transferred it over to the server and it worked great. Now I am trying to take the save from my Nitrado server and copy it back to my single player profile. The only way I can do it on Nitrado is to download each and every file in the world folder one by one. Once I try to run the single player game with the Nitrado save, the game just loads for a few seconds and goes back to the main menu. How can I successfully get the save from the server back to my single player?

[oblique prawn]

@hexed maple You could try SDE. But tried on my older server and it didn't work to load the server

[hexed maple]

SDE?

[oblique prawn]

It's an emulator for the avx instruction set. You would need to download it

[hexed maple]

Okay, I’ll look it up

[oblique prawn]

Sadly I just upgraded to a new server so I don't have the exact commands but it's like SDE.exe -cpu --path to program and exe

I'll try to find it tomorrow though

[hexed maple]

Thank you, that’s super helpful

[oblique prawn]

@hexed maple Then it's SDE.exe -sdx -- "put full directory to windrose.exe"

@hexed maple finding my old posts about it. You can do SDE.exe -help for other CPU types

[hexed maple]

Okay I’ll try it

[oblique prawn]

No guarantee it'll work. It didn't with my server but never hurts to try

[hexed maple]

Well thank you for the info! I’ll let ya know how it goes

[worldly shell]

How do I set up a dedicated server cause I'm getting multiple answers because I'm renting one. One response says I have to install stuff from wind rose directly others say the server takes care of that part

[cyan kelp]

Is there a network timeout delay I can set? It is annoying af to have a small hiccup in my connection that disconnects me when other games usually have a timeout or longer delay

[rigid lintel]

So I was able to fix it on my own. In my case, I made another new character yesterday and it seemed that when I opened windrose again, it got stuck in loading. After letting it load for a long while, it will lead into the main menu but the only option is quit and with the background of the flag, and chest.

So my fix was a trial and error of deleting files that might be corrupted...

1st step is go to your file explorer:
C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\

2nd step:
Make a copy of your SavedProfiles in another location like desktop. (to avoid losing all your data of world and characters)

3rd step:
Go to steam, right click windrose, and disable the steamcloud save.

4th step:
Next, open the SavedProfiles and open the folder with several digits(the one without
the _Backups)

5th step:
Open RocksDB
-> 0.10.0 -> Players -> Delete one folder of a player (the one with numbers and letters)

6th step:
Open windrose (if it doesn't go to the menu, you have deleted the wrong folder of a player)

7th step:
Close Windrose. Get a copy of the player that you deleted from the one in the 2nd step. Then REPEAT the process from 5th step upto 7th step until it successfully loads into the main menu proceed to 8th step.

8th step:
Once it successfully loads to main menu, enable steam cloud save. Then exit Windrose.

9th step:
Click play windrose again and then a prompt will appear if you want to load the locally saved or steam cloud as the latest files for windrose, click locally saved.

10th step:
Enjoy and get a barrel of rum!

NOTE
You can do the same process with the worlds folder because that might be the corrupted one and not the players folder

Sorry for the long steps hahaha. It was what made my game work again

[limpid mesa]

if i am having an issue with server hosting, is this the place to put it or would game support be better?

[thorn tulip]

So I started my server today, and one of my brothers cannot load into it, but the other can. The one who cannot is able to load into his own server, but when trying mine, it says NA server not found. We've all been able to play for the past several days on this server

It's just saying NA/EU not available, but other servers are

So MY main menu shows all servers as abailable. Not sure why he can't see the first 2

[north bloom]

is there connection issues right now? unable to connect to servers

[thorn tulip]

That is what I'm wondering, but I can connect and all servers show as available for me

Alright, nvm, we cooking again

hello anyone know to recover my playher after i did format to my pc ?

[shut steeple]

it works not for all
when you use cloud provider your haven't access to game files...

[frozen moss]

I am currently playing with a friend on a server, so directly from Windrose. We are considering switching to a dedicated server, but can you overwrite your world on it?

[astral kettle]

Hi! I'm still having the issue of the game crashing when I try to connect to our server since the update. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

[dusky quiver]

And I don't have any saved files in mine so..... Shrugs

[lyric lark]

A tonne of people, and silence from the devs.

[limpid mesa]

quick question
i have a dedicated server that is running windrose, i am running into an odd issue with the server itself and was wondering if there was any history of this or similar issues. the server will freeze, stopping people from interacting and freezing all mobs and boats in place, the server has been fixed once before by restarting it and each player needing to join a single play world prior to rejoin. thank you again for any help.

Edit 1: the server is still acting as though players are connected even after they have disconnected

[lean onyx]

So basically delete all our data and start fresh?

[dusky quiver]

I don't understand any of it. Guess I'm too old LOL, but I give up! I get the same answers and see the same smartass remarks. In the three days it ran though I did put in over 80 hours. Loved this game.

[lean onyx]

Are you trying to delete your save data to play again?

[dusky quiver]

What saved data! I unistalled and deleted everything started fresh and still the same thing.

[lean onyx]

Uninstalling doesn't delete save data. It's stored separately from the game files.

[dusky quiver]

Yes and I deleted that.

The R5 file?

[lean onyx]

No don't delete the entire file

It solves nothing by doing that

[dusky quiver]

........................... this is what I mean!!! That was one of the solutions and now you're telling me its crap? LOL Figures

[lean onyx]

Go into the R5 file, then Saved, and then SavedProfiles

Click the profile that DOESN'T say backup, then RocksDB

[dusky quiver]

I don't have any saved files in R5 is what I'm saying

[lean onyx]

When you launch the game, do you have cloud on or off?

[dusky quiver]

This is what i have

[lament peak]

Hi!
i have some kind of issue where windrose crashes my system pretty random
sometimes its after 4 hours, sometimes after 10 minutes
i do notice my memory usage spiking to 10GB RAM
i'm running a AMD ryzen 7 7800X3D
AMD radeon RX9070 XT
and 32GB of RAM

should anyone know a solution or cause, would be much welcome :p

[dusky quiver]

Cloud is off in steam anyways.

[lean onyx]

You're in the wrong place

[dusky quiver]

Thats R5 is it not?

[lean onyx]

It's R5, but not the correct R5

[dusky quiver]

HUH!!!

[lean onyx]

Go to your Local Disk, C drive

[dusky quiver]

Ok

[lean onyx]

Then go Users, and select your profile

Then do AppData and then Local

[dusky quiver]

I don’t see a app data.

[lean onyx]

Are you in W11?

[dusky quiver]

Yes

[lean onyx]

Click view in the top of File Explorer and then show hidden files, folders, and drives

[dusky quiver]

OKay got it!

[fierce fern]

this loading screen sucks lol

[lean onyx]

Now go into AppData and then Local and then find R5

[dusky quiver]

OKay good

[lean onyx]

Okay. Now click Saved, SaveProfiles, and then select the one that does NOT say backup

[dusky quiver]

Delete it?

[lean onyx]

No

[dusky quiver]

Ok

[lean onyx]

Are you inside the file?

[dusky quiver]

I am yes

[lean onyx]

Next go into RocksDB, then 0.10.0

[dusky quiver]

k

[lean onyx]

And you are okay losing all your progress? Just to be clear

[dusky quiver]

I am yes I just wanna PLAY!! Lol

[ebon helm]

freezee?

[lean onyx]

Now go into Players and delete all the files, then go back and go into Worlds and delete all the files

After that make sure you play with steam cloud OFF

And you will be good to play with a fresh character

From my understanding, cloud save is what is breaking characters so you shouldn't have any issues if you keep cloud off

[dusky quiver]

OKay and thank you. No one ever says anything about a second R5 file though. I had no idea.

[fierce fern]

so only way to go past the forever loading is to start over

[lean onyx]

Seems like it

[dusky quiver]

Mhmmm I think so yeah.

[fierce fern]

i just got my big ship

[lean onyx]

Same exact thing happened to me

[dusky quiver]

Gonna restart my pc first just to make sure.

[median cave]

Hi, Since the update, I've had a bug with my frigate's cannons. There's sound and smoke, but the cannonballs aren't firing and no damage is being dealt. Is this happening to anyone else, or am I the only one?

[lean onyx]

Good luck

[dusky quiver]

I love you!

LOL It WORKED i'm in!!

[lean onyx]

Woohoo!

[dusky quiver]

Thank you so much I'm grinning like the village idiot right now!

[lean onyx]

No problem, enjoy

[dusky quiver]

I will you too!!

[lean onyx]

Now I gotta go to bed before my fiancee kills me. It's 5am

[hearty swan]

Does anyone else use a dedicated sever? Keep getting kicked out for some reason

[rigid lintel]

Sorry was asleep. Not really delete all of the data. There might be just 1 corrupted folder like in my case and you just have to delete it and you won't lose the others. You can return the other save files from the 2nd step except the folder that you deleted which causes you to stuck in loading screen before main menu

[lament peak]

Hi!
i have some kind of issue where windrose crashes my system pretty random

i do notice my memory usage spiking to 10GB RAM

[rigid lintel]

What I did when I figured what folder was supposed to get deleted, I returned all the other files of players and worlds from step 2. The savedprofiles on the rightside of the picture is where I got my copies of my not corrupted files. I just pasted it back in the folder except the one that was supposed to be deleted. So its a trial and error to make it work. Small sacrifice of effort to not lose everything except the corrupted folder.

[remote blade]

Hello guys,

I encountered the common loading screen bug that caused my save file to get corrupted. Even after disabling Steam Cloud and trying to use the backup files to cover the broken file. I cannot enter the game with my previous character.

I don't want to give up on the game, but I also cannot re-play everything from the beginning.What should i do?

i try all the methods that community and official offer and it doesn't work

[heady kettle]

Anyone else not being able to load into the menu ? Im just stuck in loading...

[remote blade]

and i really don't wanna play in fresh again

[ivory oriole]

Hello I got this bug and eventually causing a fatal error. I resolved this by lowering all my graphics settings and resolution

I didn't disable my steam cloud

[nova cloud]

Hi guys question, we have a 20gb dedicated server we are on with 3 man.

But the server keeps crashing? Its not like its crashing but more that the server is not responsive in any interactions. We get kicked but we dont t see any error logs in the terminal.

Does anyone have experience the same thing?

[tribal parrot]

I killed 1st boss, went to the new biome and got hardwood,... but i didn't get new recipes. On this character I played 1st with my friend then i create my solo world

[mossy yarrow]

I think my save broke. I'm stuck on Loading :/

[remote blade]

me toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[mortal wigeon]

I'm also stuck loading tried various fixes

[mossy yarrow]

Now I got in

I did verify game files

[remote blade]

You can try the methods provided by the community first. I have tried all the methods to no avail. I don’t want to start over, so I came here to ask.

[remote blade]

thanks partner but it still doesn't work

I change the ResolutionSize to 1280 and 720

[ivory oriole]

Sad

And we are hoping for a major patch that could fix all of these issues

This is how I fixed my save😊

[celest dove]

Anyone else having issues right with online servers? we're playing for a few minutes and then it shits itself, wasn't the case yesterday and the server host said it was developer related? how true is that

[supple aurora]

my game is broken too

able to load up solo but not dedicated server

[rigid lintel]

#🚧│tech-support message .

This is what I did

[supple aurora]

infinite loading screen till black screens

[celest dove]

i can load and play but after a few minutes the game freezes where it's still running but you can't move or anything

[noble marlin]

Ours keeps crashing. We are (were, as i am now stuck in loading) able to join the game, play up to a minute or two and then the game becomes unresponsive (e.g. we can't interact with anything). After a little while, the server kicks you out completely or I have to ALT-F4 to get out

[remote blade]

I don't want to blame you but these methods are like amputation

😭 😭 😭

[celest dove]

what hosting service do you use? bisect aswell?

[cosmic sphinx]

To fix recipes missing search nexus mods on google go to windrose page and download save fixer

[noble marlin]

Yes, we are running on Bisect - 20gb server with 3 players

[cosmic sphinx]

It will check your save for missing recipes and add them

[celest dove]

we are also running bisect 20gb, yesterday we were able to play with 8 players but now 2 and it goes awry

[rigid lintel]

No problem hahaha. You can just wait out an update by the devs or some fixes by others which might be easier. I tried to fix it as soon as possible since I'm the one hosting the server and I can't lose out all my 3 max level characters.

[noble marlin]

The only thing we changed this morning was going from 4 to 6 players, we changed that back to 4, but this wasn't the issue. We keep getting crashes. The server console on bisect shows nothing that suggests a crash/error

[celest dove]

yeah i spoke with bisect support, they said they had gotten multiple reports from users, they said it's dev side. That their servers connect to the devs servers, that's where the issue is happening.

[noble marlin]

So i guess we wait, then 🙁

[celest dove]

yeah that's all there is to it haha

[remote blade]

I'm on the fifth try and I'm about to collapse.

[celest dove]

@marble atlas Sorry for the ping, but will there be a ping somewhere when there is information about the freezing error on servers?

[simple verge]

same bisect 12GB , playuing 4 players no problem yuesterday. today morning it just freezes in build mode at some point

[rigid lintel]

Good luck brother. I have 4 characters and the last one of the 4 characters was which I had to delete for my game to work ahaha.

[fossil anvil]

Anyone experiencing long launch issues, like loading for over 10 minutes and the game still not in the menu, just on the loading page

Guys, my game wont launch properly, keep crashing...

I was able to play 6h straight the other night (after tried many thing to launch it) but now the game keep doing crash on launch... Do you any of you have a solution?

[solemn parrot]

Hey everyone, has anyone encountered this problem? We've been playing with a friend for a couple of days, but today he couldn't connect to my server.

[cosmic sphinx]

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1500359619845820546

Bugged save makes it so your game will not launch for some reason, (can't even get to menu just infinite loading)

This is fix to recover save, if you want could
Just delete all saves and start fresh that will also fix

[night obsidian]

Is there a way to set Controller to use PlayStation Button names/labels instead of XBOX?

[smoky dune]

i have the same issue but when i am login of my friends acoount on same pc the game work just fine

[cosmic sphinx]

Maybie his steam cloud saves aren't corrupt? I'm unsure

[smoky dune]

yes that is what i think too but i dont find a way to fix it

[cosmic sphinx]

Video shows how to replace current save with backup it's the blue link 😊

[vapid jewel]

Ok So my game crashed .after instilling and uninstalling a mod . now the game just sets on the loading screen and wil not load . any ideas ?

[cosmic sphinx]

Video here https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1500359619845820546

[night needle]

What about if i have no problem joining my server but my friend cant join it now even though he could before? hes stuck in the loading screen but its not his server and im fine

[cosmic sphinx]

Can he get to game menu and click join server, this only fixs not being able to get to menu at all unfortunately

[night needle]

He opens the game and clicks join server and puts in the game code. after that nothing

[safe sparrow]

I'll try it, ty.

will give you an ETA on the issue (if fix or not), ty.

[cosmic sphinx]

Ahh, that doesn't sound like bugged save unfortunatly, if was bugged save wouldn't be able to try join at all( would just load off launch and no menu)

[night needle]

Do you know what might be the problem? he has no problem joining his own servers

[cosmic sphinx]

If its to do with character he should be able to make a new one and join, if that works try restore backup 😊, if not I don't know how to fix server connecting issues unfortunately 🙁

[smoky dune]

thanks a lot

[cosmic sphinx]

your welcome hopefully it works for you too 🙂

[fossil anvil]

has worked but the moment i re-enabled steam cloud save, same loading issues occured

[cosmic sphinx]

i would leave the cloud saves disabled for now, (edit) there not really needed unless you play on multiple devices)

untill there fixed 🙂 seems to be a common issue

[fossil anvil]

yeah i gathered thanks

[rigid lintel]

it means that you might clicked the steam cloud save when a prompt appeared, not the locally saved choice. so what happened is that you deleted the folder and then you restored it too when you enabled cloud save and clicking the wrong option

[atomic prairie]

This did not work for me. I removed the folder and relaunched the game. The game still has a blank menu after a long wait time for the menu to launch.

I was not able to create a new charactewr since the menu still wont load

I have verified files and even reinstalled

[cosmic sphinx]

did you do the same as video or delete the individual save fodler

if same as video and it diddnt fix, i sahwee i couldnt help, you can repaste the original fodler back in and back to start no damamge 🙂

[cosmic sphinx]

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1500359619845820546

also you may need to disable steam cloud saves as when you go to restart the game it can redownload the corrupted files (i really shoulda put that at start of vid)

[rigid lintel]

I'll try to make a video once I get a recording tool

[cosmic sphinx]

windows+shift+r

[smoky dune]

i had them disable and after i sync the local saves with the cloud and everythink works as should

[cosmic sphinx]

built into snipping tool :3

[cosmic sphinx]

nice sounds like is working now? 🙂

[smoky dune]

yes thanks a lot i was forget the game will have the saves at the appdata you remind me with your video and i was lucky for play to another pc and recovery them because at my main i was uninstall the game

[cosmic sphinx]

awesome, im happy i could help 🙂

[safe sparrow]

@cosmic sphinx hey, so, I tried your video, but no doesn't work, game still crashing after loading to the main menu.. :/

[cosmic sphinx]

ahh thats sad 🙁 might not be bugged save if can make it to menu

you will be able to tell if its the save if the game loads in after deleting the folder

sorry i couldnt halp

[safe sparrow]

yeah, that's what I tought... I tried everything I could find on the web, nothing realy work, and sometimes it does work... I realy don't understand ><'

[safe sparrow]

don't worry, ty for your service, your video still could help some other so.. 😉

[ember lava]

I can setup a WR server on my local system in 5 minutes incl. the steamcmd setup/updates etc.... but when I take a world seed from the Nitrado server and put it back on my local pc, change the id in the json, the server keep crashing. After 3 hours I'm giving up. Any ideas?

[still trail]

linux or windows?

[ember lava]

W11

[still trail]

and you're sure you're downloading the entire world file, and have the ID in correctly?

[ember lava]

I stopped the WR server, downloaded the entire folder etc from Nitrado via Filezilla

100%

What I do think is weird, there is also a backup folder with zips (not using them) they have different sizes. Is this an incremental backup? I copied the world seed folder from the default folder.

[still trail]

they do backups, yes. default is what servers call the folder, it's the steam id on the client/non-dedi

and to double check, what processor, and at least 16gb ram on the machine you're using for the dedi?

Guys, I think something happend to my friends character. When he tries to open inv, game just crash. Doesn't matter where he is doing it, solo or on server. I joined his game and was able to open chests, etc. When he tried to do the same, he got crash. Is there any solution for this?

[still trail]

ok that's not the issue

[ember lava]

I start the server on 7778 via a bat file (RTM runs on 7777):

[still trail]

how many files are in the world folder?

[indigo marten]

I really think people are doing outrageous things to fix things when it really is just timing of logging in on bad networking and overcrowded servers 😄

[still trail]

and compared it to the server? I know some hosts impose a limit on the downloads for some reason, want to make sure they're all there

[ember lava]

67 files, mostly sst db files

[still trail]

ah, not likely to be it then, usually the limit is around 100, and would def be an even number. hmmm.

[ember lava]

Yeh, I have done this for the game RTM and that worked fine, hencde my frust... with 'this game'.

[still trail]

did you download them while the server was running?

[ember lava]

Not sure if the options files matter? I seem to have two of them.

[still trail]

yeah I've swapped worlds between my linux server, windows server, and client with no issues many, many times

two?

should be one in R5 and one in the World

[ember lava]

Also no spaces in the seed before/after

[still trail]

file tree should look like

and ServerDescription.json in R5 folder should look like (pw and names removed):

that's fine, it's not really YOUR D: drive

I use port 7778 from the bat file, but maybe add it also to the json? Let me stop the RTM server for a sec and see if that helps

[still trail]

it's def the world, damn, says can't load Island file

the ports don't matter with p2p

[ember lava]

yeh with RTM server down and port 7777 free, same issue.

Seems my world seed is bugged somwhere

[still trail]

also not related to your issue but if your local server and client are on the same network

[ember lava]

Same pc

[still trail]

and you want to use p2p, change P2pProxyAddress to the internal IP of the server

[still trail]

if it launches on the paid host, idk how that could be true, really strange.

[ember lava]

Good point lol

[still trail]

stupid question prob but the world and server settings are both definitely the server ones, and not the client, right?

and what happens if you drop the world in your client's worlds, and try to launch it non-dedi?

[ember lava]

The json and was from a working server, I only changed the "WorldIslandId":

I could try to set Filezilla to binary frp transfer....

[still trail]

OH don't do that

delete that and relaunch to generate a new one, then JUST change the world ID

idk if it's the persistant ID or what, but I've not had any luck copying the entire json over

[ember lava]

That's what I did. Clean server setup created the json, then i change the world seed

[still trail]

oh, I misunderstood then

[ember lava]

Like I said, the clean new server setup only took 5-10min. Just the backup who's giving me a hrd time and not in a good way 😉

[still trail]

I'm interested in this one

would tell you whether it's the server somehow, or the world, pretty fast

if the world, I'd try a redownload. if it works non-dedi, I'd reinstall the server and start that again from scratch.

[ember lava]

Not sure where to copy it. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Windrose\R5 has no saved folder

[still trail]

go to %localappdata%/R5/Saved/SaveProfiles

there will be a folder with your Steam ID, that's the equivalent of "Default" on the server.

then RocksDB/0.10.0/Worlds from there

[cosmic sphinx]

the folder named all numbers

is the local version of the default folder

[ember lava]

It sees the world seed, but when I select it and try to load, it returns me to the main menu..... so must be the files then?

[still trail]

sounds like it, yes

maybe try a redownload, then maybe one of the backups

rules out the server or your settings file at least!

[ember lava]

The backups make no sense. Looks incremental instead of full backups. I'll try downloading with Filezilla on binay tramsfer first

[still trail]

they are full backups

the ones in Default_Backups, at least

[cosmic sphinx]

incremental size would be from placables, possibly enemy spawn when in range and stay, any digging with shovel etc?

[cosmic sphinx]

thats not incremental thats all over the joint, i thought i could halp but i no understandy that at all

[still trail]

looks right to me lol.

[obtuse rose]

Forgive me, I’m sure this is not the right place, but I’m looking for the right place. I’m new to docker but far from new to Linux and wine, but could someone direct me to assistance getting docker server functioning properly?

Installed, setup, appears to be running but cannot connect using the invite code nor switching to direct ip. Cannot find with invite and just “crashes” back to the initial “play” screen.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

[still trail]

actually that one was unsorted, lol.

there, in order, you can see how they've jumped around

[still trail]

at what point is it crashing if you can't find it?

[obtuse rose]

Using direct ip it shows the yellow loading screen as normal for a good 15 seconds or more before back to play screen.

Of note I did change 127. To actual internal ip

[ember lava]

OMG, I just wasted 3hours trying to find out why the server would not run with my downloaded seed........ Changed the file transfer mode from auto to binary and now I can load it local. Next step//// server.

[still trail]

I don't use docker myself, but I do understand that you need to change the network mode or some such to host?

[ember lava]

Thanks for the help !

[obtuse rose]

I did that as well. Network_mode: host or something of that nature.

I haven’t tried it outside of the docker image, I suppose manually using wine will be my next step if I can’t find an explanation.

[still trail]

poke me if you go that route, mine runs bare metal (ubuntu server lts)

[obtuse rose]

I’ve used Linux/wine for a decade or more but never on headless server. I’ll tinker with that a bit. Thank you

[still trail]

biggest difference is using a virtual framebuffer, Xvfb is simple though

[obtuse rose]

I saw the xvfb reference in logs and ps when understanding docker setup

[still trail]

yeah you just prepend xvfb-run -a to your wine command and good to go (after screen or tmux if you use those)

launch command ends up looking like screen xvfb-run -a wine /home/windrose/server/R5/Binaries/Win64/WindroseServer-Win64-Shipping.exe -log

[desert yew]

I just played with my son on my server last night. It went well..I tried 6 times to het into the game yoday and at first it worked but each time a frame changed it went black before coming up.. so.i did a varification of my files and restarted my computer. Now I can not begin. Loading takes way too long and then I get the main menue with only background , bannrr blowing trees and dock but no characyrr or text on the left
????????

[obtuse rose]

That’s more my speed than docker. Thank you.

[surreal bloom]

Has anyone else encountered a game loading failure? I've been trying for almost 40 minutes and still can't get into the game. How can I report this to the staff? It's stuck on the loading screen. Either the game is malfunctioning or it fails to load and returns me to the main page!

[cosmic sphinx]

Sounds like corrupt save file preventing game launch here's video of how to fix I hope it works 😊 (blue link above)

[inner geyser]

Im hosting a 3rd party server and was playing fine this morning, but now i cannot connect it just stuck in loading for like forever. My friends can connect fine. I tried reinstall, verify game files. But nothing. For solo play it works fine.

[desert yew]

I am having a continual loop
With loading. Then I get music and background only on thr main menue. No character. No text to left except purple word in square to quit

[heady kettle]

sadly for me it did not work. Aftrer I backuped the file and deleted the old one, the game still did not launch

[cosmic sphinx]

Sorry to hear it diddnt work, game crash is caused by something else not save if doesn't load after deleting file

[mortal delta]

loading into what? dedicated, p2p, menu?

[cosmic sphinx]

To replace save just copy the saveprofiles folder you saved back it's all still there, I hope they come out with a fix for your issue soon 😊

[desert yew]

Just pressing play..

[mortal delta]

so single player? if it was multiplayer id have some ideas but not for solo, sorry bro

[desert yew]

No
.going to steam library. Picking game to play. Chose Windrose as always. ..then I press play.

Then it takes way too long to load.

[mortal delta]

so into the menu, https://discordapp.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1499697549504942131 try some of the stuff mentioned here

[desert yew]

I can not see anything on main menue but background , no.character
No words on left. Just purple word quit

[mortal delta]

havnt had that happen to me, look around in the game support area you might find a thread on it that can help, sorry you're having trouble

[keen fiber]

heyo! did they solve the SSD problem? ty

[desert yew]

Thank you. I.hosted last night. Could that have been why today I am.having trouble

My game in on a ssd hard drive

[restive quail]

Was in last update.

Same with dedi CPU usage

[cosmic sphinx]

if you dont get main menu at all may be corrupt save bug

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1500359619845820546 - worth a try

[raven meteor]

Hello 👋
Im playing with my friends from different regions and it'll allow some of us in for awhile before we all get kicked lol
Is this a common issue lmao

[desert yew]

I get the background only for the main menue

[cosmic sphinx]

it might be save mine would load for 5-10 min and id alt f4 to close it never left it longer

[desert yew]

I am reinstalling the game now. If it hsppend I will try the Alt F4 and see what happens.

[cinder moat]

It took a while to connect to my dedicated server today all seemed well until I got into a ship battle, and now the game is still running and I can look around but all the ships are frozen in place ...guess there are issues today..

[cosmic sphinx]

alt f4 will force close the window

i did before the quit option showed i think, (am under impression the quit button only shows after 10-20 min of loading screen?)

[cinder moat]

Just got kicked to the main menu

[cosmic sphinx]

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1500359619845820546 this blue link will take you to a vid showing how to recover save ( if you delete the saveprofiles folder and it still doesnt launch at that step then its not the save its something else)

[snow pivot]

Dedicated server issues:
I am hosting my own server, Steam install, and this morning I am getting the following error after re-starting it:

[robust hill]

Hi. Not sure if this has already been covered somewhere but i have just launched my game and got a message regarding selecting local or cloud data (Epic Games) i have clicked the wrong option now my char has rolled back and lost alot since last night. is there a way to recover my recent save to overwrite the new save file. i have tried removing the latest files to see if that worked with no joys. Thanks

[cosmic sphinx]

you may be able to find a recent backup in appdata>local>R5>saved>saveprofiles>(numbers)_backup

then copy and paste the backup folders into appdata>local>R5>saved>saveprofiles>(numbers)

[chrome robin]

Anyone having a BisectHosting dedicated server and have issue now, getting kick out of the game ?

[restive quail]

Had that a short while ago with self-host. Had to restart the server a couple of times to resolve.

[cinder moat]

Yes, but reading various messages on here it seems there is an issue with basically any server, including self hosted ones, threads and messages all over the place, so I suspect there is something broken at the Devs end

[chrome robin]

We having a 16gb ram server with room for 8 player, since this morning we reboot the server a couple time, force update with clearing cache but nothing work, we got a ack packet issue and server crash when we pass 2 player. Will try to reboot it and clear cache againg and se if it fix.

[spark ore]

our server is cooked as well, the world keeps freezing

[chrome robin]

Are you self hosting or dedicated server ?

[spark ore]

dedicated server

trying to self host now and it seems to be broken as well

[slim mauve]

I have a dedicated server through gportal and am having the same issues. Got kicked and now can't load back in.

[celest dove]

i've been having the same issues with our bisect server, freezes after a few minutes of playing

[noble marlin]

@celest dove same here, still not able to play

[ripe fern]

Nodecraft is having the same issues. Looks like the auth server is down on their side if I'm interpreting these error codes correctly

[candid furnace]

Also, running a steam dedicated server for my friends and I - Did a reboot of it this morning and now can't connect to it. 🙁 - One of the last errors in my cmd window

[chrome robin]

Well, at least we know the issue seems global. We wont try to fix it and broke it more, we will wait.

[celest dove]

yeah i pinged a admin but never got a response on the matter, kind of dissapointing but oh well

we will just have to wait it out mateys

[white totem]

Issue with Nitrado servers as well

[jaunty lotus]

Is this with everyone happening that server freezes & crashed all the time?

[celest dove]

nitrado was working for me before but it seems to have hit the shitter now aswell then

yeah

[white totem]

Bummer my friends logged in earlier and are on I can't seem to join the server via IP or Join code no issue if you were already in

[celest dove]

it seems to be a authentication issue on the devs end? the servers connect to the dev authenticator for legitamacy i would assume but aint no expert. but that is where it's going wrong i believe.

[jaunty lotus]

So it's not a modding issue ? I've been seeing a message all the time for "PersitentLevel" error everytime server freezes

[celest dove]

nah i aint got no mods and it doesn't work

[jaunty lotus]

Damn, I've been trying to bypass it with resetting files etc to now finding out it's not that issue , Guess i'm adding my old world save again

[thorny lodge]

I'm running a dedicated server on Bisect hosting, and it keeps locking up and then dropping after about 15-20 minutes

so, it's something across all providers?

[celest dove]

yeah everyone going through that rn with server hosting

[turbid anchor]

same here

[jaunty lotus]

Yup having the exact same thing all day

Also hosting from Bisect

[white totem]

At least the dudes on my server are being cool and resource gathering for when I get on so I am not falling behind

[inner geyser]

anyone else having issues connecting to their dedicated servers, i hosted 3rd party but today unable to log on 🙁

[jaunty lotus]

They are crashing worldwide for everyone, all different hosts

Seems to be an issue on the devs side i think

[ripe fern]

Scroll up a few messages and you will see multiple reports of the same issues across providers.

[inner geyser]

ah danng

[silk otter]

hi my game didnt update it stucked at 80% i downloaded it from steam. do you have an idea what i can try ?

[candid furnace]

I know everyone's having server issues but just wondering if anyone has used a decoration book and the items not appear in your build menu? I just bought the Hunter Furnishings but don't see anything extra to build - do I need to unlock Biome 3?

[west kelp]

is there a connection issue with dedicated servers?

[jaunty lotus]

Have you checked your inventory Curios Tab? You will see the BP list there & need to activate it first

[jaunty lotus]

Read above chats, it's know, all server providers are having issues

[cinder moat]

Yes, I've made a report thread, imo everyone should be who's having the issue. Just to make sure they are aware

[wraith widget]

My character won't show up anymore. Any ideas?

[jagged ferry]

server is down for NA/EU right?

i can join via cis or other but not NA

[surreal bloom]

I can't log into the game again after logging back in... I'm so disappointed.

[topaz carbon]

my dedicated server is all-of-a-sudden crashing with memory leak after 5 - 10 minutes. Just started today

[topaz carbon]

same for me

[thin drift]

Is the "World ID" of the server settings like a world seed for the random generation of islands or something? Because if I want to reconnect to the server by "recent servers" then I get a WHOLE LOAD of servers that seemingly have the same World ID.

And if it is random gen world seed, does anyone have a good seed?

[dusky quiver]

I finally get it to work and then I go to log back in and the same damned thing!!!

[fervent cargo]

I am trying to download my world folder through Nitrado and I cant seem to find out hhow

[topaz carbon]

anyone else using Biscect Hosting and having Dedicated Server issues with getting booted after 5 - 10 minutes, I noticed this message on the dashboard:

also, anyone using Bisect Hosting, let's see if we can isolate it ... I am using Dallas, TX location. What location is everyone else having problems using?

@celest dove

[celest dove]

Amsterdam

[topaz carbon]

ok, so not data-center specific. thanks.

[celest dove]

it's not just bisect

most servers have the issie

issue

[twin raven]

I am using indifferent broccoli and can’t join my dedicated server. Not sure if its related or not

[topaz carbon]

hopefully somebody from Kraken Express is looking into the issue and can provide an update, or at least some acknowledgement they are aware and looking into it

[quick tendon]

after lates update my host game keeps crashing, do anyone else have this problem ? i haven't done anything that is different from how it was at launch beside updating the game.

and it wont load my savegame ether, i haft to delete the old one and let the could game download it again, and when im ingame it just boot me to the menu after a short play time and then crash to desktop

this was not a issue before you lates patch

and i have no mods install just to clear that out

[topaz carbon]

yes, it appears most dedicated servers are having issues. Look above you post.

[still trail]

You should be able to get your ftp credentials and connect via a program such as WinSCP

[quick tendon]

i don't use the dedicated server, i only host from the ingame menu, and this happens, but i guess its the same for a dedicates server as well ?

[topaz carbon]

it is possible, i think a lot of us are waiting to hear from Kraken Express on what might be the cause.

@urban mason @marble atlas @idle geyser is there any status update on the issue plaguing Dedicated Servers at the moment? Seems like most servers are unable to stay up for more than 5 - 10 minutes without dropping connections.

[violet pewter]

We are all aware of the issues with the game that those of us who have Bisect Hosting are seeing.

Has there been any announcements regarding what's going on? Bisect seems to say this is on the dev side and not theirs.

[quick tendon]

seemse pretty much its there fault

[celest dove]

i find the lack of an official response concerning

[topaz carbon]

based on information here, seems to be impacting all dedicated servers, not just those from Bisect Hosting

[violet pewter]

Good to know

[still trail]

interesting - I've been in all day, is it localized to specific areas?

[topaz carbon]

My server was fine until the server was restarted about 7 hours ago

[lethal inlet]

ya its full connection issue i cant even host a game loads for 30 seconds then boots me to main menu. Was playing last night with a friend exited game and it had update after that update cant host a game anymore

[violet pewter]

Around midnight Eastern is when the issue started.

[lost sierra]

We had it shortly before that. I thought it was a bug because we had just done away with Richards.

We also use Bisect.

[simple verge]

Also on bisect here

and also same issue 🙁

[celest dove]

yo this lack of communication is terrible haha

[jovial ruin]

Real quick question. Are the EU/NA server connections borked or something? I can't start my multiplayer up with the NA servers, but I can on the CIS (Is that what it is?) server.

[cinder moat]

Just scroll up dude

[little jolt]

@jovial ruin I have the same problem @cinder moat most people seem to be talking about dedicated servers, not hosting a game from in the game

[jovial ruin]

Yeah. I'm just hosting for the wife, and I, I'm not on a dedi or anything.

[cinder moat]

Yeah it seems to be hosting generally, dedicated or not.

[little jolt]

yikes

[jovial ruin]

Copy that,

[little jolt]

hm, another friend with self hosted dedicated server has it up, some are working but lots of problems I guess?

[still trail]

yeah, I'm in as well, zero issues, so it's not everyone. no lag either.

a lot of the people I've seen reply are using bisect, but not all

[sonic sparrow]

Hi guys me and my friends wana play the game, but on one of my friends pc the game wont start at all, or crashed right on startup, he tryed like everything we found online, like game rapair in steam, completly new download, update all drivers etc.. nothing works. (Pc Hardware: i7 14700k Asus RTX 4080, 32 GB Ram, Asus z790 MB) S1 has any idea?

[little jolt]

I mean being able to host on cis and not eu/na kind of confirms connection server issues I guess

[west kelp]

still down for me

[chilly wedge]

Guys, my friend wants to play the game but its loading and doing nothing, it didnt even let him to choose the server, some info about it?

[topaz carbon]

I wonder if it is being caused by a build piece ... i know one dedicated server that is working fine with no issue, by my server is in the Swamp biome so I am wonder if a certain build piece we created recently is causing it

[west kelp]

my server is down, a friends server is down .. can play solo

[desert yew]

I have yried everything
.last night i hosted on my world. Saved in the world creater provided by the game. All i get is an indefinate loading screen..with all the music that is in the main menue. I have a C drive that is a 2 a 2TB SSD hard drive. So i reinstslled the game onto my 1TB harddrive. It is doing the same thing. Is there a way of getting my game back to original stat when I first dowoaded
I can redo all my game plays and character creations?

[lost sierra]

Im wondering if all us Bisect people are here because Bisect is directing us here and not the other hosting services

[humble nebula]

im having the same issue!

[west kelp]

and no feed back from tech support

[gray crest]

we're on bisect and playing rn

[humble nebula]

yep same as of now

[lost sierra]

It works for a little bit then crashes for us.

[humble nebula]

i sent some of the logs and stuff i couldnt get it to work

[raven marsh]

it works on ip for lan. Via my husband heres the info:
Open Run
/cmd in Run
have co-op person join on the internet IPv4 of host (prob wife joins husband but idk)
use whatever port it auto assigned when making direct IP server

[placid vale]

i am having a problem where i am in a continues loading screen to try and get into the main menu
i tried every bit of repair, but it wont seem to do anything am i really going to need to delete all characters and servers so that i have to start over again?

[jovial ruin]

Right on!

[chilly wedge]

Is the game out of beta?

[median stirrup]

not sure if this is right place, and im sure its been said, but QOL request: Being able to save connect to servers, so we dont have to input all the info everytime

[winter crystal]

hello, I am playing this game on boosteroid atm, do any of you encountered the infinite loading screen when launching the game? and how could i fix it on boosteroid

[still trail]

still early access

[chilly wedge]

nobody cares about solving the issue sadly, its not fixable normally lets not mention boosteroid 😄

Anyone tried disabling steam cloud saves?

[humble nebula]

yeah havent had any progress doing so

[placid vale]

i did, but didn't help

[chilly wedge]

whats your pc specs?

[placid vale]

306ti
64gig ram
Ryzen 7 5800x
all drivers are up to date

[desert yew]

I just did and it is not helping

[chilly wedge]

thank you

[placid vale]

My pleasure ❤️

[eternal bluff]

Hi, guys did anyone noticed issues with nitrado host? Our server is not available, during the day was no issues.

[placid vale]

May i ask your specs ?

[chilly wedge]

my friend has AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 32GB ram, RTX 3060 12GB

Boosteroid is also using AMD cpus

[west kelp]

i this it wide spred i use Nitrado as well they know about it say it not them but many issues in network

[chilly wedge]

Maybe there is a chance that there is an issue with setups with AMD cpus

[still trail]

it's not AMD in general, my client has a 5600 and my server a 5600G

[humble nebula]

i am also using a amd cpu, same issue

[placid vale]

i see, thanks ❤️

[chilly wedge]

for now there is like 5 users with the same issue and AMD cpu

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[placid vale]

Yeah, i'll ask my friend what his cpu is ? I mean i can delete all characters but the one i have my on my friends server cause that one does work

[west kelp]

i use AMD to play when i can get on

[chilly wedge]

yea that would be good

[silk lark]

anyone else having issues hosting there world today? was able to load np last night but woke up and tried today and its just goes to the loading screen the back to the main menu loads up in SP no issue

[simple pulsar]

yes

[chilly wedge]

Another friend with Intel CPU but it works normally

[lethal inlet]

i have a workaround if you need to get in on a hosted game with friends HOWEVER THIS WONT WORK FOR SERVER HOSTING.

Its the NA/EU server that are having issues so if you really want to get in you have to join on either CIS or SEA to get in with your friends.

If you are hosting through service providers such as nitrado you will have to download your map data and host your game on those servers.
Alternatively you could call your provider and have them move your server host location to CIS region or SEA region.

[west kelp]

i know 6 people all have issues getting Hosted or Dedicated games to start .. only SOLO ATM

[simple pulsar]

ok

[placid vale]

Thanks all ❤️ i'll be a bit more patience to see how it goes if a patch comes along

[topaz carbon]

one thing I have noticed is that the dedicated server issue starts as soon you engage into combat. You can walk around your base for a long time with no issue, as soon as I start combat, the server gets a memory leak error in the console and drops all client connections

[humble nebula]

im gonna install on another computer with an intel cpu and see if it works there

[chilly wedge]

alright

[jaunty lotus]

Did you by any chance have mods & removed some with a save running those mods not restored to default?

[dusky trail]

Yep, we are in the same boat (pun intended). Can't join hubby... 🙁

[chilly wedge]

Anyone tried disabling cloud saves and removing saves?

that are saved locally

[jaunty lotus]

Noticed that as well, It shows me always a error conflicting with "Persitentleveling" not loading

[placid vale]

i used 0 mods

[ruby flame]

Is it true that this game will cook my ssd

[hot mason]

Thank you. This worked for us....so far.

[jaunty lotus]

What i can advise you to try, Is look up on Nexus mods a save repair tool, i use it to restore any corrupted data

[dusky trail]

My SSD is just fine

[placid vale]

Appreciate this will certainly try ❤️ thanks for the tip

[topaz carbon]

it may not be related, but the last thing logged in my hosted dedicated server console is this error:
[2026.05.03-17.39.38:161][381]R5LogSystemResources: [300381] ...esourcesMemoryLeakDetector::DetectMemoryLeak Memory leak suspected!

[lethal inlet]

no problem spread the word so everyone can enjoy the game just beware your friends and you may experience some rubberbanding but hey you can play!

[deft summit]

Will there be a server option in games like Rust or Ark Survival Evolved in the future?

[jaunty lotus]

If you can't find anything, Msg me a DM in private, i'll sent the link for the one i use

[placid vale]

i googled it and found it insta

[jaunty lotus]

I get that one too right after a "Persitant Level" path for either the ship or weapon i use, failing to load in Gamelydia or something

Genlandia*

[chilly wedge]

**# Solution for Infinite loading! **
Steam Library -> Rightclick on Windrose -> Properties -> Turn off Steam Cloud saves -> Win+R -> paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles -> Delete all profiles -> Launch the game

Its gonna remove the saves from the game but you can create a character and continue playing!

[placid vale]

Yes i had this, but then i have to restart everything 😛 and i was hoping i could somehow fix my own 😄

[jaunty lotus]

Using a save repair tool works better , Doesn't affect your character or world. Just detects either when modded to restore to vanilla or just fixing issues with loading

[visual quarry]

Game keeps freezing, single player or multiplayer. Have to restart computer, can't even close the game without a complete restart

[chilly wedge]

There was no mods used in my case

[jaunty lotus]

Its a issue worldwide at the moment with the game, it's also for singleplayer

Not just dedicated servers like people are thinking

I have the exact same problem 🙂

[visual quarry]

Nice to know it's just not me

[jaunty lotus]

It's a Unreal engine prefab / actor path not loading due to issues on the game's end which doesn't let us play

This affects both multiplayer & singleplayer

[languid plover]

ok, why are my screenshots for windrose not saving to my folder on my PC

[jaunty lotus]

And theres no fix for us to do, devs need to look into it as we don't have those accesses for those path files

[placid vale]

Sended a DM to you

[subtle relic]

so my ffriend is haveing a problem where it tells him conection lost when he tries to join me or his own world and his game was working before but now he cant we did mod the game but hes tried a clean launch to but it dosent let him join still

[jaunty lotus]

Is it a Host from your PC or server hosting bought?

If you yourself is hosting it from your pc, You might have to check your Firewall settings

Declining other IP's connecting to your Port

[warm egret]

Hello, I am running into an issue with Co-op. I was able to join the "world" but I'm unable to see my friend and they are unable to see me.

[next cedar]

Try hosting your server from SEA servers, or tell him to do the same. the NA servers are the problem right now

[inner geyser]

im hosting bitsec from Amsterdam, and also have issues so EU is also affected 🙁

[autumn jewel]

are NA servers down?

[jaunty lotus]

EU & NA are freezing / crashing

[celest dove]

no word from devs at all

as far as i know

[gentle thistle]

still getting trouble trying to join a friend and after a minute it just puts me back in the lobby

[placid vale]

i'd give them time maybe they already working hard on a solution yes i know i am being hopefull 😄

[still trail]

bisect did say the devs were aware, from what someone else said

[celest dove]

i'm fine with it taking a bit, but this no communication is really dumb

[still trail]

interestingly enough it's not everyone

haven't seen anything that narrows it down except mostly NA

[reef crystal]

something just changed, we got a connection notice and were still on instead of freezing

[placid vale]

i agree ^^ but atleast its not Helldivers silence for 20 months and then not showing anything you working on they said they were

[celest dove]

it could always be worse haha but still not good

[placid vale]

^^

[reef crystal]

k nm lol it just took a bit longer to freeze up....

[upper escarp]

My friend is hosting a world for me and some of my other friends and he can’t seem to load that world up anymore, we were on it last night but not it’s just not loading for him.

[reef crystal]

yep we were fine last night but soon as we connected this morning done

[celest dove]

everyone is going through it sadly

[jaunty lotus]

Devs are working on it, My hosting already mentioned to me they have been in contact with the devs & are working on a fix as it affected all providers.

[gilded burrow]

Hello, I'm having the infinite loading problem, I tried the appdata "trick" but it's not working for me and I've seen solutions about starting anew but I'm hosting for other players, I don't want our progression to go to waste. Is there any news from the developers to fix this issue ?

[gilded burrow]

Oh ok it's more common than I thought

[jaunty lotus]

It's an issue with Unreal Engine. this game is developed around prefab assets communicating with Unreal engine. At this moment from all the crash logs i've been getting, Unreal engine is unable to connect to the game's server data base to load all Prefabs for unreal engine correctly causing a Large amounts of attempts causing a crash with overloading

[jaunty lotus]

Is it your start game loading or the world?

[gilded burrow]

Start game, can't even get to the main screen

[red carbon]

can i transfer my local windrose server to nitrado servers?

[jaunty lotus]

Sent me a DM

I can help you out

[still trail]

yep, move the world (R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/0.10.0/Worlds/) from the server to your client %localappdata%, same path from there except Default is your Steam ID

[red carbon]

thank you so much g 🙏

[still trail]

reverse that, since it's TO the server

[split shadow]

Q : Was playing the game last few days, and today then logged off , when i went to load the game back up it goes to a never ending loading screen, cannot seem to get to the play screen, both kids other computers seem to work just fine but it seems to be only on mine and i was the one with the host server on it. is there a way to get around that ?

[left totem]

I am having the same problem. I looked for some solutions, but none works. Most use some datapaths I do not even have....

[timid pawn]

hi there. We already have Steam Cloud disabled, but we’re still getting randomly the infinite loading bug on launch.
Do you know what could be causing it in this case?
We’ve already had to restart our characters 4 times, it’s getting really frustrating (cant back up our characters.... )

is there any issue for that?

[still trail]

why can't you back up your characters?

[timid pawn]

each time when we try, it's restart loadinding infinit... only solution is just delete r5 folder on appdata and start totaly fresh ...

[split shadow]

yah turned steam cloud off as well let me get in but lost EVERY thing with removeing the save folder , then turned on did the cloud miss match and back to infinnent load screene

[timid pawn]

same 🙁

[surreal star]

It's not letting me create a server via EU & NA but I can do CIS and that's located on the other side of the world from me. - Idk where too put this tbh.

[ruby ridge]

I’ve seen that a lot of people are having issues, but I couldn’t find this specific error, so I thought I’d ask. We didn’t experience this issue before. The person hosting the server keeps having their game crash after around 15–20 minutes. Until then, everything works fine, there are no loading screen issues, no connection problems, etc. His game simply crashes, even in solo / offline mode, he tried to create a new world too. - tried verifying the files, turning off steam cloud, reinstalling the game etc.

[surreal star]

Are they doing anything in the game? If they dug too far into the ground it has a crash problem. Collision problems exist too.

[still trail]

doesn't explain why it's only some people, others are in and have been in perfectly fine

[hot mason]

If you are hosing the game locally for friends, switch away from the EU/US servers

[split shadow]

i cant even get to the screen to choose a char

[surreal star]

So the server location doesn't matter if it's not for dedicated?

[split shadow]

waited a hour on the load screen it finely went to the screen with one button " quit "

[jaunty lotus]

That might be due to where the servers are being hosted from. At the moment there's multiple data servers affected, I'm unsure about which ones but it's deff with the location

For me, Amsterdam's server is affected

[ruby ridge]

It doesn’t seem to be tied to anything specific. Sometimes it crashes after just 1–2 minutes, even if he hasn’t done anything yet.

[hot mason]

It may be slower with rubberbanding due to longer ping times but my "Captain" normally hosts his game on the NA/EU serverss but we are on the SEA one now and its not too bad

[placid vale]

Hope it works for you better then me xD

[surreal star]

Had you dug into the ground prior though?

[surreal star]

It won't let me host EU/NA and that's where I live. North America East Coast. So I was wondering if it mattered.

[weak pecan]

Devs just need to get all the issues fixed, Game was running perfectly for everyone until the update 4 days ago. Some things are not going to be able to be fixed by the players.

[ruby ridge]

Yes, but this also happens when he creates a completely new world.

[jaunty lotus]

Indeed, the main issues here are on the devs side which we as player can't fix

[surreal star]

It's just weird too have an issue like this outside the demo.

[surreal star]

Hmm that's strange. Are you guys on lowest graphic settings? I had similar crashes in demo.

[split shadow]

so .. this mean we just have to start all over again ? no fix ?

[hot mason]

No it doesnt as I am US East and my captain is US West and his hosted instance is running fine on the SEA with me conencted to him

[still trail]

US east coast, friends EST as well, we're in

and yeah we've dug up the place a bit 😂

[hot mason]

I have deforested two large islands 🙂

[still trail]

my starter one is half deforested, I stopped chopping trees when sailing started bringing back stupid amounts of wood

[coarse grove]

Are all dedicated servers borked? Is it just bisect? Anyone know anything?

[ruby ridge]

He hasn’t lowered all the graphics settings completely yet, but he has tested some settings by turning them down. The strange thing is that, judging by PC specs, my game should be the one crashing first, not his. 😅

[surreal star]

Yeah but this game's optimization isn't the greatest. I had a lot of crashes on Demo, but my pc is more than capable of running this maxed out usually.

[still trail]

it's not everyone, I've seen bisect mentioned more than anything else, and I've seen NA mentioned a lot, and EU a decent amount

Bisect did say the devs were aware of it

from what another user said, it's specific data centers but not all, which means the exact route would matter

[noble marlin]

@celest dove it seems our Bisect server is back and fairly stable, we've been on there for around 15 minutes now and no freeze yet

[ruby ridge]

He is currently testing with a completely new character, in case something is causing a conflict there. We also have a crash log, if that would help identify the issue.

[celest dove]

oh that's great news, i'm going to try it out!

[noble marlin]

Never mind, i jinxed it XD. it froze as soon as i told you

[celest dove]

oh no! i was really rooting for you XD

[jaunty lotus]

Not sure if you've noticed as i also got Bisect as hosting, Whenever combat is enganged it crashes

[split shadow]

i can turn steam off , delete saveprofiles get in make a new char and play the game fine , but moment turn steam back on and try to play origenal char load screen before even seeing char select screen

[celest dove]

yeah i had it happens when we farmed and fought at the same time

[cinder moat]

How strange, it so happens it also happened to me as soon as I engaged in combat with other ships, then they were frozen in place until I got kicked back to the main menu after a minute or two, hope they sort it

[jaunty lotus]

Well from my logs i've checked, Its an Issue with Unreal Engine's actor prefabs , this for ship actions, melee actions & weapon actions not connecting properly to the Unreal engine database from the game. Causing a massive amount of attempts & therefore crashing as it overloads. This is not something we can avoid, only ofcourse by not fighting anything 🙂

[tacit hatch]

my game is crshing

[placid vale]

Got the same

[ruby ridge]

Update: this still happens even with a completely new character.

[lyric sinew]

any idea when they are going to push the new branch to steam for servers? cat ServerDescription.json { "Version": 1, "DeploymentId": "0.10.0.3.104-256f9653", "ServerDescription_Persistent": {

steamcmd is still pulling 10.0.3.x

[jaunty lotus]

Like i mentioned it's not any of our saves being the issue, It's the connection of Unreal engine prefabs communicating. This game is purely developed on Unreal engine, which makes it not the best for issues. If their database isn't properly communicating with the game's files, it will crash.

[tacit hatch]

where do u find the crash logs guys

[cinder moat]

When you say database, you mean an external one? Or a database of locally stored files?

[jaunty lotus]

External one from the game devs.

[cinder moat]

Ah ok, nothing we can do then, just gotta wait for a fix

[jaunty lotus]

If you got a server, in your console. If not, /Appdata/Local/R5/Saved/config/Crashreportclient

[lime topaz]

10.0.4.x was released the same day as the client did on the default branch:

"DeploymentId": "0.10.0.4.268-9d2ca277",

You either have an error in SteamCMD logs (probably a corrupt appmanifest file) or in the script itself.

[jaunty lotus]

Exactly my point here 🙂 I've been into Unreal engine dev for quite some time & the issues today from worlds / servers crashing even if it's Solo/offline mode, is purely our Unreal engines not getting the communication with the games external database where the game files are stored on to work for us 🙂

[warped sun]

Mods not working on my hosted game

[jaunty lotus]

The devs will need to work on a patch next week (Fingers crossed if this gets launched next week)

[silver gulch]

i was able to force connection to my server by checking that box. We've had some freezes but its getting better

[cinder moat]

I know nothing about game development, but it seems rather inefficient to have to connect to some other server just for game assets, but hey who am I? 😁

[jaunty lotus]

That's unreal engine if that's how to devs made it sadly :/

Doesn't make sense to me either, just not well developed on that part

But that's why its early access still i guess :p

[cinder moat]

Oh for sure, bugs and issues are to be expected. Typical it's on a three day weekend here in the UK , I had a day off with nothing planned tomorrow 🤣

[gentle thistle]

when are the server issues finna be fixed

[jaunty lotus]

Been there but with Dune awekening during 3 days double xp / rewards & looting

[worn marsh]

game goes back to selection screen during loading screen, any ideas

[edgy iron]

is anyone hosting a server that works? if so could you give me a rough idea of the nearest large city? just in case all these crashes have to do with ISP routing around certain locales?

[hot mason]

If you are not doing a dedicated server (aka you are hosting your own server for up to 4 friends), then you need to switch the hosting from US/EA to either the SEA or CIS servers.

[edgy iron]

yea I have a dedicated server with Bisect, I'm looking to swap it to a node in a different region

so SEA or CIS might work?

[nova cloud]

Can you come back once this works?

verify*

[nova cloud]

Kinda curious if this will be the fix

[hot mason]

We couldnt get the server to load on the NA/EU servers so we switched to SEA and we are up. Host server is in US West and I am US East

[edgy iron]

ah shoot, can't change regions sadly - I already did that once within the last 2 days

[thin drift]

Am I the only one that has the dedicated server keeps kicking me out, and then it taking forever to load back in?

[rare narwhal]

Sadly no, I rent a server on Bisect and it's doing the same thing.

[thin drift]

Yeh, I'm on 4NetPlayers, from what I've gathered the following happens:

The game has a few minor mem leaks, and disk writes that the devs are working hard on, but this creates server stutters, or other issues with the dedicated servers and the gameplay. Devs are working on this, so I expect this to be fixed in future updates.

Note that most of my source is either Google AI, or Reddit. So I might be wrong..

[halcyon belfry]

servers have been working fine till 12 last night and then you get kicked 5 minutes after joining. i rent from bisect as well and i got this message when opening a ticket : Unfortunately we've heard some reports of this issue affecting the game across multiple hosts. At the moment, we are awaiting an investigation by the game developers and hope to have an update soon!

besides this i have had no issue even having 10 people at once on server without lag

[lavish holly]

I can't even get my dedicated server to boot at all, just infinitely boot loops right now.

[edgy iron]

do you know what region / locale it's in?

[lavish holly]

Not sure what you mean.. It's self hosted.. I live in eastern canada. My steam default download zone would typically be Montreal, nearest SDR relay node would be in Virginia.

[lavish holly]

there is a "UserSelectedRegion": ""in the ServerDescription.json file, so it appears to be empty.

[restive shale]

Good evening, I have a friend (non-english speaker) that has an issue, the game launches but it gets stuck on the loading screen, she tried uninstall and reinstall but it doesn't seem to work

[lavish holly]

we've basically already finished the game, everything was fine for the past 2-3 weeks daily.. but something broke in the last 24-48H

[still trail]

blank it should auto-detect, which puts you in EU (NA and EU share a region for this game)

[lavish holly]

yeah EU is the default. Nothing with my config has changed or anything, but after last nights automatic reboot nothing comes up anymore.

[lean onyx]

Corrupted save file due to cloud save. Unfortunately the only current fix is to delete the save data and start fresh 🙁

[restive shale]

Thanks for the help, how does she delete the save data ? Any idea if this is going to be corrected in the future ?

[still trail]

they are working on it. the data is stored in %localappdata%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles

[jolly relic]

Ive just had the same issue - so glad someone has the answers - annoyed that it requires deleting save data - but restarting for me atm isnt too bad im super early in

[still trail]

should be two folders, you could try removing the one with numbers (your steam ID) and restoring one of the ones from the _Backups folder, or just leave it deleted and start fresh

[lean onyx]

Idk if they've even commented on it yet.... but:

File explore -> C Drive -> Users -> Select Your User -> App Data (click view in top right and show hidden files if it isn't showing up) -> Local -> R5 -> Saved -> Delete Save Profiles and then just forever launch the game in local mode (that's what worked for me)

I hope I didn't miss a step I'm out rn and not at my pc lol

[jolly relic]

The fact you knew that WITHOUT being by your pc is insanely good

[restive shale]

Thanks to both of you @lean onyx and @still trail will try and see if it works

[true fable]

If I have a game on the windrose servers and purchase a server through nitrado is that game playable or do I need to start fresh?

[still trail]

you can move the World file between a servers or to your local installation. your character is stored only on your pc.

your world file stores the map, buildings, and exploration. character stores your quest progress, inventory, ships, and ship inventory

[supple tusk]

I think my question may be best asked here. I am having an issue with my server. I have an intermediate knowledge on the matter. I shut down my server today (SteamCMD) and now it crashes every time I try to launch. No settings have been changed to my knowledge and firewall is allowing it. I can post a log but not sure where to.

[topaz carbon]

There is some kind of widespread issue happening with Dedicated Servers, regardless of hosting company. Apparently the devs are aware of the issue and are working on it.

[jaunty lotus]

For people experiencing the game not loading on startup, This a guided steplist to make it work again. I've worked this through with multiple people on the bug report tab & all confirmed this worked for them 🙂

Download https://www.nexusmods.com/windrose/mods/158?tab=files tool,
Launch the tool & check for any saves shown with "no Data" , your character save should show with a lvl and data found,
Copy the directory shown above & paste it into file explorer Example:,
C:\Users\YOUR USER\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\76561198194322866\RocksDB\0.10.0\Players
Remove the file you see in the tool with no data , make sure Cloud save is also off in steam - Found in Properties -> General,
Relaunch the game , if you load into the main screen, close again & put cloud save on.,
If your game then launches without loading again follow the following,
Close steam , Windows (C:) - > Program files -> Steam -> Userdata -> (Your ID)
Click "3041230" , remove Remotecache.vdf
That removes your cloud data
"3041230" Is the game's ID so only remove that one if you got other games installed , Don't delete any other
Try starting again with cloud data on & see if the corrupted save file found earlier didn't appear back in,
C:\Users\YOUR USER\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\76561198194322866\RocksDB\0.10.0\Player

[supple tusk]

ok. I was actually kind of hoping this was the case lol. I was REAAALLY hoping that I wasnt going to have to get into it too far to troubleshoot.

[teal lava]

yesterday the game was working and now I can't load in the menu anymore.

[north island]

Devs - worked out why the dedicated servers are having a poop yet?

[sharp quarry]

I need help

[faint cave]

170 hours in

i get the stuck in the loading screen bug

[oblique prawn]

Anyone know with the worldsettings how the adjustment for like enemy health etc. is set? I know default is 1 but to change would it be .5 or 0.5 etc for the syntax?

[neon parrot]

are you able to help me out if I screen record? I cant find the steam file

[abstract comet]

does anyone know if i can take my game files from the gportal server im renting and make it a local game save. im unable to get into the server most of the time and i dont wanna lose my progression. rather just play solo

[spark ore]

You can, my friend did it today so we could just do a player hosted game and play. Let me ask him where the file is

[jaunty lotus]

Not at this time as i'm heading to bed for work

[neon parrot]

ok thanks anyway

[spark ore]

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

you should be able to navigate to this in your gportal. Save the file and put it in your local save

[abstract comet]

thank you

[spark ore]

on your pc it will be steam/steamapps/common/windrose/R5

[abstract comet]

is it under backups on the gportal site?

[faint cave]

any fix for the game booting in loading screen?

[spark ore]

not sure about gportal, we are using a different provider. But it should be somewhere

[jaunty lotus]

You can always look it up on google and move on with my steps once found 🙂

[neon parrot]

I decided to use codex to find my files

[lethal wagon]

hey guys i bought AMP server when i bring my save folder over to it i can see it on the menu but when we launch it just goes back to menu

[jaunty lotus]

Check in your server files as most hosts automatically put an password on it which you need to find

[lethal wagon]

i was a using steam dedicated server

[jaunty lotus]

You can find the Password into your server file , this either in the hosts startup section or specifically into the serverproperties file

[lethal wagon]

ok one sec let me check

so the host set a password?

[jaunty lotus]

Yes, they do that automatically. Atleast for mosts hosts

[lethal wagon]

we never set a password on the server

[jaunty lotus]

You can disable it tho once you find it

[lethal wagon]

oh ok

what is that path

[jaunty lotus]

Gimme a sec ill see, i'm on my phone

[lethal wagon]

ok ty

[jaunty lotus]

Go to Files in your host

Select R5, then the file called "Serverdescription"

[lethal wagon]

its blank

[jaunty lotus]

Have you booted the server already once ?

[lethal wagon]

yes

[jaunty lotus]

Then it should not be blank. Sent me a dm privately with a printscreen of what you see

[desert yew]

Hello Dono, A Huge shout to you !!!! I followed what you said, AND I have a working game. I have to redo stuff but, to me that is minor !!!!! Thank you sooooooooo much !!!!!

[jaunty lotus]

Lemme know once sent, i'm on my phone at this moment so i don't see it all coming in

[lethal wagon]

ok sent you a DM

[fallen ice]

Is there any news on when servers might be working properly again? Really disappointing to see no sort of announcement about this to let us know if they're working on it or anything

[jaunty lotus]

They are working on it

My server hosting already responded they got in contact with the devs since this morning, devs are working on it

Besides that no further updates

[pearl trench]

Is the only fix for infinite loading really to lose ALL progress? :/

[jaunty lotus]

No

[pearl trench]

then how do we get the character back? i did the delete thing and booted so i tried getting my character back and all it does was take it straight back to infinite loading

[jaunty lotus]

Follow this, If done correctly, you keep all your progress. Simply have to identify the corrupt character save

[fallen ice]

That's good at least, but we shouldn't be hearing it from 3rd party that they're working on it, they should've addressed it themselves. It doesn't give me much confidence

[jaunty lotus]

I aggree, most likely its cuz of it being weekend tho. Not all their teams working

[topaz carbon]

My only real concern about this problem is the complete lack of communication about it. The problem has been happening for about 18 hours now and not a peep from Kraken Express about it

[west kelp]

yes no peep.. and have a game to run 24/7 needs communation

[warm jasper]

I tried the Nexus Mods fix and it didn't fix it for me.

Going to try logging into alt and back to main see if fixes.

Frustrating that we still have infinite login loop on SP

[tame moat]

If you can, can you provide the source for the devs knowing about the issues and are actively working to fix it?

I can not find a single official source, atleast not on this discord.

[pliant dust]

Ok.. but their primary product is having game breaking issues, might be a good reason to recall everyone to address it, or at the very least, put out a statement.

[stray monolith]

Hello

Has anyone created a server using Fakaheda?

I have a problem connecting to the server, it doesn't find anything via invite code and via IP it takes me to the menu after a while of loading.

[wraith lava]

can any 1 help me with this error ? i have directx 12 on my pc

[topaz carbon]

I have no source other than somebody here about 4 hours ago saying the company that hosts their server was in contact with the devs about the problem.

[sudden ember]

They gotta fix this save issue. I know it's an alpha but I literally can't progress anymore. I have to restore a backup after every session now so I end up in the same spot after playing for 2 hours

[tame moat]

Absolutely..

Might be time to start leaving real reviews on steam.. fun game, if you can actually play it lol.

[tame moat]

Ah okay. Thanks for reply.

[pliant dust]

This is the message on bisecthosting

[ivory tide]

Did you finally manage to get into your world, or are you playing in another one and making a backup?

[sudden ember]

I made a new one. Same issue as last time but they have the public test thing you can use to recover saves. I started making backups after every session now but I've finally reached a point in this save where if I play at all past my current backup and close the game it corrupts, so I'm pretty much stuck

[tame moat]

Appreciate that.

I definitely wouldn't call it official though.

Wouldn't think a simple acknowledgement of the issue in #│game-updates would be that hard. Lol

[pliant dust]

Agreed. A statement is just as important as working to fix it.

[ivory tide]

What if you create a dedicated server from your PC using the tool provided by the game itself? 🤔

I never played in a normal game, I made a dedicated server on my PC and then migrated to one in NA.

[sullen canopy]

Major issue , cant download Old saved game from a dead pc to anew pc made me sad to have to start over

[sudden ember]

I don't feel like I should have to jump through hoops to play the game. I'll just wait a year or so I guess

[ivory tide]

It should not be necessary; some people have problems, and others don't. In my case, nothing like that has ever happened, but if I really wanted to play the game, I do use Steam dedicated drive tool and play from there. I doubt it would get corrupted.

If you wait that long, there will be much more content 😎

[timid otter]

Genuine question. I saw A LOT of complaints about a memory issue, as well as memory leaks in regards to SSDs I don't have the time or brain capacity to read through the patch notes or this thread looking for this specific thing, just wanted to see if there was merit to it? And if it's true if the devs patched it or are figuring out a patch for it.

[timid otter]

You can if you have access to the old PCs harddrive move your world over. Not sure where the characters are attached in the files but the world it's self (this includes your buildings and gathered resources) can be moved over even to an entirely different player/user. Me and a friend of mine have started taking turns hosting just sending the updated world back and forth after each session. Sometimes my Internet is bad to host other times his is. So I thank the creators for making it so that is possible

[west kelp]

when playing solo mode can you use a save?

[wraith lava]

soo no one can help me ?

[west kelp]

help with ?

[wraith lava]

click my reply

[tender violet]

it was literally playable five minutes ago, bisect down again?

[sullen canopy]

pc blew out every thing i was hoping the cloud would save the day but no luck

[tender violet]

shipped stopped moving, kick to main, now infinite load

[atomic mountain]

hey guys i was running my game perfectly fine and went to the store came back to start it up and now im in an infinite loading screen. Ive tried verifying the files, disabling cloud save, and backing up characters and deleting them in game files. any idea how i can fix this?

[dry lotus]

hey guys

[pliant dust]

Yeah, its unplayable now. Thought I'd make a solo game since the servers are borked, played for 30 minutes and now it keeps kicking me back to the main menu... guess I'm not playing it this weekend.

[west kelp]

it has had this problem for hours .. nothing out of game techs

[dry lotus]

Me too i can('t oin any server

[lime frigate]

Trying to transfer save from Nitrado to Gportal, anyone have experience?

[odd halo]

gportal has a step by step, very simple

takes about 5 minutes tops

[small spade]

any tips for infinite load screen? can't even get to the main menu now. already tried file verification and full reinstall

[surreal wraith]

Hey can anyone help me? I tried connecting to my buddie's server thru invite code and direct IP and it won't lemme join. When I try the invite code it says the above SS, and when I go to do the IP one it kicks me back to the main menu.

[sick raft]

I don't know if anyone can help, BUT, my man @cloud canyon is having issues with loading up his game and his screen freezes on him. It happended yesterday and it's happening again today more often. He's trying to figure out what's going on, but we would like to have more support if possible

[violet pewter]

A lot of the playerbaae is experiencing the same issue

[warm jasper]

for singleplayer the best fix ive found is loading an alt character on same world, traveling to wherever you were trying to spawn into (your base, Tortuga etc), and then relogging to your main character. Nothing else has worked for me;

[sick raft]

sadly it's not a single player base, he has a server that he put up for everyone. It was going pretty well till yesterday and now.

[stoic creek]

So just out of curiosity, because I put a post up too, has anyone else had issues where the title screen doesn't have any options?

[solemn kiln]

not sure if this is the place but people on my server are having an issue with there own triangle not showing on the map or mini map, the flashlight showing direction is appearing but not the locations

[kind jolt]

i cannot get my windrose to boot up i have the specs ive tried every fix given and nothing works

[stable burrow]

Many people are having issues with their dedicated servers. It is happening no matter which host you are using. Mine has been unusable all day

[stoic creek]

I'd love if I could even play single player lol

[kind jolt]

I have 4 and halfs hours of trying to get into the main menu

[sick raft]

I hope this can be resolved here soon

[lavish holly]

so strange... is tehre something up with the dedicated server files? Just tried to spin up a fresh docker image with pulled files and it's failing to start still. Worked perfect for the last couple weeks.

[stoic creek]

I can get to the main menu, but I don't have any options

it's just a blank screen

[stable burrow]

Same. I have quite a few friends depending on my dedicated server.

[kind jolt]

with a quit bar in the bottom left

[stoic creek]

yeah, that's all I have lol

[sick raft]

I have another friend of mine that's having issues on loading in as well and especially into our dedicated server. I however haven't had any issues as of yet.

[kind jolt]

so all the fixes they are giving out are useless

just a wide spread server problem waiting to be fixed ig

[stoic creek]

everyone keeps saying it was caused by an update, but I never had an update?

[kind jolt]

i legit just got it yesterday and it just decided to give me a chance to make a character then proceed to never boot into it again

[sick raft]

well yet again, it is an early access. So there will be problems that will come up no matter what gets fixed. Coding and such isn't easy to do. So it will take time. Hopefully everything will be figured out soon

[kind jolt]

i know a lot of early acsess games that i paid for that are very much playable

but maybe its just a hot fix waiting but who knows

[sick raft]

I have a feeling if something happended during a fix and must of messed with something that everyone is having issues with.

[kind jolt]

i hope cause ive done every single thing given as a "fix" and the last thing to do would be to submit a ticket but im sure every single player has tried that

[sick raft]

So my man decided to uninstall it and then reinstall it. It's working now at least. Hopefully it stays that way. This might be a temporarlly fixed.

[kind jolt]

Good evening! My game isn't loading; it won't get past the initial loading screen. I had to delete my save folder and disable Steam Cloud to start a new session, but it starts from scratch, and I lost all my previous saved games. Is there any way to solve this problem? Thank you in advance.

[sick raft]

hmm interesting

[sick raft]

everyone is having this issue. Maybe try to uninstall it and reinstall back?

[formal jay]

Yes, and the problem continues!!!

[sick raft]

I'm sorry

Does anyone have a self hosted dedicated server working right now?

[untold hemlock]

I wish I could play this game, I cant play it anymore. Everytime I try to play, I just get stuck on a loadscreen when trying to launch the game.

[edgy stone]

We hit the same issue today. Trying to figure out what we did to cause this.

[fading salmon]

Yeah, I host on my "dedi" pc, what's up

[warm jasper]

I'm sure they're working on a fix.

[kindred fable]

does the cannons not firing projectiles have a known fix or do we have to wait for an update?

Just wondering why my docker containers are suddently boot looping now, even with a completely fresh image/save file. Using indifferentbroccoli image.

services:
  windrose:
    image: indifferentbroccoli/windrose-server-docker
    restart: unless-stopped
    container_name: windrose
    stop_grace_period: 30s
    env_file:
      - .env
    volumes:
      - ./server-files:/home/steam/server-files
    network_mode: host

server was working fine for 8 of us for the past 2 weeks, beat the game... now the server can't start anymore and not sure why.

[fading salmon]

Hmm, that one's beyond me I'm afraid. Just took over recently from a buddy who subbed a server for a month and got bored after a week lol.

I'm using Cubecoder's AMP as my local hosting platform, as it's done me for years. Easy web style one click install etc. Started back when I began hosting MC servers, etc.

grace period doesn't change anything?

[west kelp]

i dont think they are working on issus .. not talking about it

[stable burrow]

Yeah a little communication like an announcement would have saved me a full day of troubleshooting, and back and forth with Bisect Hosting

[lavish holly]

yeah something seems very broken.. the fact that I can't even spin up a vanilla server, completely empty, redownloading everything.. is really strange.

[fading salmon]

Hmm, I'm guessing it's always been required, but there's something about virtualization passthrough checked on vm's? That's always been a thing though?

[lavish holly]

yeah even starting up a completely fresh image, downloading everything fails.

windrose2  | ====Starting Windrose Dedicated Server====
windrose2  | ====First boot detected - ServerDescription.json not found====
windrose2  | Starting server temporarily to generate default config files...
windrose2  | ServerDescription.json was not generated after 120s - server may have failed to start
windrose2  | Killing temporary process and exiting
windrose2 exited with code 1 (restarting)

[formal jay]

This is the maximum it can reach...

[untold hemlock]

sucks that I purchase the game and cant even play it...... not a good start lol

Hi quick questio, I recently created a dedicated hserver with nitrado, like 10 minutes ago and when I tried to log in, it was loading and then sent me back to main menu all the time. I have reset the nitrado server, reset my pc and close the game several times and can't connect, do you guys know what can I do ?

[stable burrow]

Dedicated Servers have been having issues all day. This entire chat is people talking about their server issues from today. It doesn't matter which host either

I was about to say that I'm surprised that hosts haven't put a freeze on new servers until the issue is fixed, but I guess they aren't really going to refuse $$$ 😅

[lilac parcel]

There's a lot of stuff that can be set in that docker image/build/.env which could affect the not starting server and generating JSON. Did you run also run docker builder prune -a (fully clean build cache) and build fresh: docker compose build --no-cache && docker compose up -d And try with UE4SS_ENABLED=false and WINDROSE_PLUS_ENABLED=false. Otherwise I could smoke test that build if needed.

[lilac parcel]

It's mostly 3rd party game server hosters having issues. Self managed is running fine. But yes ofc. they like the money haha. And also most game server hosters use shared hardware pools on backend and just run tons of vms/containers, while advertising with "dedicated" specs.

[worldly shell]

Not Nitrado I brought up do I need to give yall more cash cause cash isnt an issue for me and they were like nope and admitted that something is going on via there end

[lilac parcel]

I used Nitrado and Gportal in the past. They are "okay". But def expect stuff happening compared to real bare metal server self managed.

[worldly shell]

Yeah I dont have an additional pc or laptop to keep the b running all night so rentals it is

[lilac parcel]

Understandable indeed. 🙂

[worldly shell]

Im kinda curious why they didnt just say add extra ram give me more money and all taht

[novel dragon]

its addons if your running them with cursedforge

[lilac parcel]

Yeah more RAM is usually not the issue sometimes depends on the situation. More ram helps but only if you are peeking on the edges basically so you will have directly more buffer.
