Great

[royal ferry]

Hello, I have a dedicated server (runned by G-Portal). After today's restart there is an issue with backpack space. Players, no matter which backpack they have on them it still give only 2 rows for items in it.
I've seen suggestions to reinstall the client - which I did. Also verification of the files did run smoothly - and did not solve the issue.
Can I ask for advises?

[sharp valley]

Hi guys, logged into my dedicated server hosted on another pc here, the world is now blank, hulp 💀

[marsh glen]

Check the guide in the pins

[mossy yarrow]

Thank you it works!

[marsh glen]

Another satisfied customer, lmao

[wary ledge]

@marsh glen Is the process the same for copying the server files if my dedicated server er is on a different machine then what I play on? Meaning I grab the files from my gaming machine and copy to the server machine?

[marsh glen]

This is the case scenario it is MOST meant for 🙃

[halcyon lily]

Hello, can anyone help me out? Since the cloud patch, I haven't been able to start my game. On Steam, it says 'Running' for a moment, but then it just disappears without anything happening. I’ve already tried all the troubleshooting steps from https://windrose.support/faq/game-wont-start, but nothing helped—even a fresh reinstallation of the game didn't work

[marsh glen]

I'm on mobile, but will be back at my desk in about 35 minutes, if no one else beats me to it, I'll the a look at your log file and see what I can see, no promises though.

[halcyon lily]

Okay Thanks

[cyan wren]

Anyone got a suggestion for 2 worlds running via one dedicated server exe? happened with the last update in SteamCMD

[peak girder]

Hi. with the new update of saved files, anyone know what folder does the game load saved world?
I see in Default we have RocksDB, RocksDB_v2 and RocksDB_v2_Backups. I need to backup my worlds from dedicated server so I just want to do quickly

[jolly igloo]

my friend is trying to send me his save file so i can host from my pc, however when i put his folder in rocksdb2 with my other save the game doesn't register it and i cant load it, any fixes to this?

[halcyon yew]

jsut do all 3 jsut in case, better yet backup the entire R5

[warm jasper]

So I've noticed when I fail to load game still, if I reset my settings (toggling Reflex to enabled or boost back and forth), lets the shaders reload the game with no issue. I'm on the driver that is supposed to benefit Windrose. Should I reinstall or do the latest driver since it seems like the issue might be coming from shader?

[marsh glen]

As far as I can tell right now, if you want to restore or migrate your world you need to put your world files in BOTH the RocksDB AND RocksDB_v2 in their respective sub folders <\0.10.0\Worlds > @peak girder @jolly igloo

[marsh glen]

It happens when your system begins initializing your Audio drivers, but I'm not 100% it's an audio issue. (Could be)

One solution I've found, if you've not tried it, is trying to set your game to run under Windows 8 Compatibility mode.

Are you running mods on your game?

[midnight arrow]

My shipmates and I were able to overcome the server mismatch by reentering the invite code.

Perhaps the server list and version are cached or stored locally?

Either way we are now in.

[chilly hill]

is there an option to disable the inverted steering when moving backwards? it makes no sense and it makes me angy

[chilly hill]

fr me

[marsh glen]

I feel the same

[jolly igloo]

My rocksdb has no other files besides a sync, should I make the folders inside it?

[marsh glen]

reference the guide in the pin for folder locations, (specifically when I reference LOCAL)

But yes you will likely need to create the < Worlds > folder in:

%localappdata%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\YourSteamID\

if you've never run a local dedicated steam server.

you will also need to take note in reference to the ServerDescription.json , it's contents, and where it should be located

[jolly igloo]

Ah I'll take a look and see how it goes

Thank you

[lofty forum]

hey guys, i am currently trying to host a server on gportal with the save files of my friend, he send them to me and i put them on the server via FTP.
I edited the serverdescription.json but every time the server starts it is not able to find this specific folder, and instead creates a new save file folder with different difficulty level, no build on the map but the same world seed.
Can anyone help me out?

[tribal aurora]

anyone got also problems to join other servers ?

[marsh glen]

check the guide in the pins, it's not your specific issue, however the file locations, and and .json notes will have relevance

specifically about moving files back to the server, (the last 4 steps)

[foggy chasm]

hi can anyone help? i have lost my base when i uploaded it to the server but the map seems the same?

[peak girder]

Thank you!

[digital flare]

i have similar issue. i uploaded my solo to dedicated server and its like a couple hours of base building is missing. The only thing I notice different is the MANIFEST-number changes on the dedicated server when it starts.

[cursive iron]

I found the solution to this, for anyone having the same problem, I used a VPN and I finally got to connect!

[twin cradle]

by any chance are the servers down cause my game trys to load and is kicking me back to the play screen

[full harness]

Hello, I got a problem when I try to join my friends server, I get loading screen, but after about 20-30 sec the game just close, any idea what is going on ? when I just join the solo/offline mode its fine

[twin cradle]

im trying to join my server , not dedicated but pw prtected and yea i cant get in at all

[halcyon lily]

I had mods installed, but I deleted all the save files and there's nothing left on there

[marsh glen]

Are you running your own server? Local (Steam) or dedicated (Different Machine) ?

[halcyon lily]

i have a Gportal Server

[marsh glen]

did you remove the mod files from both the server and your local installation (Steam Directory) ?

[halcyon lily]

no i have only deleted on my Computer, my Friends can play on the Server, only my game dont starts

[marsh glen]

Do other players require the mods?

[halcyon lily]

Yes, they are general mods, but these are only available on the server; I only tested them in single player, which is why I had them on my PC.

[idle mica]

Hello. My save corrupted and thankfully I had a backup but its for the older version of the game and it seems the save folder is no longer in the Appdata folder where is it now and is it possible to use the old save still?

[marsh glen]

Typically the R5 errors I have found trace back to mods. I cant' say for sure that's your issue, but it's where I would start.

One more question, were any of your mods reliant on the UE4SS installation/Additional files

[idle mica]

Is there anyone that can help?

[halcyon lily]

No, I haven't used any mods with UE4SS. Is there any file I can still delete that might be related to the mods? I've already deleted all the mod .paks and the save files.

[marsh glen]

1. were all community "volunteers" and do this out of willingness to help, a little patience goes a long way.

Check the pinned guide, specifically about were to place files for migration / backup.

This is a reference to your issue, and not a step by step guide, you discretion will be needed.

[winter elk]

hi guys, i can load my save on offline, but when try to host it throws me back to menu, what can i do?

[lofty forum]

thank you so much it wqorked, the problem was that gportal doesnt set up the old db folder and i had an old gamefile.
the community can be thankful for someone like you

[marsh glen]

glad I could help, there's a few of us in here helping, and doing the work, i'm not a solo act by far 🙃

[marsh glen]

It could be your client is trying to pull a mod from the server, and there's a mismatch, however since you do have other players connecting with no issue it's unlikely. It would be a last step to remove the mods from the server, and readd one at a time, to verify, but not something I'd consider doing at this point.

Have you tried setting teh game to launch in compatability mode already?

[halcyon lily]

I can't even get into the game to join the server; it doesn't even start. Therefore, I don't think it's due to the mods on the server. I've tried compatibility mode, but the result is the same. In Steam, it briefly says "running" and then disappears.

[dark talon]

Yeah me and a Friend cant join Either

[dense gale]

My friend is hosting a local server for us two to play on Steam but he seems to not be able to launch the server every night? Does anyone have a fix for us really enjoying the game alot but this is seeming to ruin it.

[marsh glen]

Fair point the game doesn't even launch,

If you go into device manager on your PC, do you have any devices with errors? Specifically your audio device?

[halcyon lily]

no nothing

[acoustic girder]

I'm havince the same issue

seems the servers are down?

[dense gale]

my friend having the same problem

[dense gale]

quiet annoying

[winter elk]

I kept trying and it eventually opened, looks like they’re having issues indeed.

[acoustic girder]

Yeah offline / Solo only for me right now ugh

[marsh glen]

hmm... this is an odd one..

[halcyon lily]

i have solved it

[marsh glen]

what did you find?

[halcyon lily]

i have deleted the Game, and then i deletet all files from AppData\Local\Temp, and after installation from the game now it starts again

[halcyon lily]

now i hope i became my save files back

[marsh glen]

https://tenor.com/view/touchdown-nfl-football-gif-15049037

[halcyon lily]

Thank you very much for your Help

[marsh glen]

if your cloud saves are off, you'll be restoring the Players & Accounts folders in sub directories under

< %localAppData%\R5 >

(there is a backup folder in that directory you may be able to pull from)

the pinned guide can be used as a point of reference

[pastel totem]

Weird question, is there a way to sync maps? I pin things on mine and my bf is not seeing or getting them

[marsh glen]

you may have to turn on Co-Op Progress

[pastel totem]

How you turn it on?

[peak sigil]

anyone know what to do when i go to host my world i get sent back to menu

[marsh glen]

it's the other json file, lemme find it one sec

[abstract mica]

i keep getting connection error on attempt to join server

[peak sigil]

yeah i cant even load into my own server its just broken

[novel cove]

Same here I cannot connect host any server

[agile thorn]

welp thought i was gonna play this today and its broken

[marsh glen]

in your WorlDescription.json file which is inside your World Folder on your server under:

\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\Default\RocksDB_v2\0.10.0\Worlds\

Set this to true:
"{\"TagName\": \"WDS.Parameter.Coop.SharedQuests\"}": false,

Server will need to be stopped ofc

[agile thorn]

everyone who cant host try to host it direct ip if you know how to portforward it let me in

[peak sigil]

how do i get to my world settings

[marsh glen]

it seems like the Proxy servers for Invite codes is having issues

[marsh glen]

which world settings there are two json's in different locations

both do different things

[peak sigil]

the one u said to change

[marsh glen]

In my post like 3 replies up?

[peak sigil]

ya

is that for something different?

[marsh glen]

I mean the file location is in the reply

[agile thorn]

he literally listed it

[marsh glen]

that's for turning on coop

that was a reply to another user

[halcyon lily]

Thanks, i have all back 🙂 now i can Enjoy my game

[marsh glen]

Stellar

[past gate]

Ummmm, I can't host a game....? Just bought the game last night, and it just takes me back to the main screen

[peak mesa]

is singleplayer possible?

[gleaming forge]

So, I'm having an issue trying to start a co-op world it just puts me back on the main menu and doesn't load.......

[past gate]

Yes, single player works

[peak mesa]

having the same issue with me

does it take a while to load to singleplayer too?

[novel cove]

Same here still having the issue

[past gate]

Eh, not really, I have a beefy pc, lol

[novel cove]

Yes it does

[past gate]

Maybe took 45 seconds to a min

[peak mesa]

ah so not the problem of PC

[past gate]

Yeah, i9-14900k + 64Gb ram + separate nvme for games + 4090, cpu and gpu are liquid cooled.

I was able to join using a SEA server connect, the NA and EU are down is my hypothesis

[peak mesa]

ya me too it takes me 6 mins to log in to singleplayer world

[gleaming forge]

There's your first problem.......it's liquid cooled......lol

[novel cove]

Ok not six minutes but max 1-2 mins

[past gate]

Lol, works great! You should see it render video, haha

[peak mesa]

i see but if you guys are having the problem then is not specs wise problem

[pearl vector]

Did you get this resolved? I'm in the same problem. Docker logs show it starting up and installing then hard restart

[peak mesa]

the dev is looking at my problem

but i suggest opening a thread

[gleaming forge]

No, I think it is a network issue....like both me and my friend joined our other friends world and as soon as we got done with the tutorial boat part it kicked us back to the main menu......so network?....I'm not sure but that's what I am thinking.

[peak mesa]

same

it happened to me too

[past gate]

Use the SEA server, it worked immediately

[digital drift]

@sand radish

[peak mesa]

i use SEA still doesnt work

i wonder if i would be able to join if i use data

i even use vpn

n it doesnt work

[novel cove]

Managed to host the coop now let's see for how long

[pastel totem]

HOw exactually do I get there? Im not finding a place to edit

[marsh glen]

I'm not clear on your question.

Do you have directory access to your server?

You simply open the file in a text editor.

I gave you the exact folder structure to navigate to the file

[pastel totem]

Well going and looking, it said there is currently no coop map sharing

[marsh glen]

where does it say this?

[pastel totem]

Thread my bf found on reddit says coop dont have map sharing

[marsh glen]

not what i've experienced. all my servers we all seet eh same map and fast travel points

[sage barn]

Have there been any reports of multiplayer servers not respecting the scaling settings?

[sand radish]

I'm not aware of any ongoing issues with the container, but it might be specific to how you're hosting it. Have you made an issue on github?

[sage barn]

We've got a server that seems to be acting like all the enemy values are bottomed out.

[maiden thunder]

Is this inability to host a server tied to Steam's Tuesday maintenance?

[sage barn]

Most games that rely on steam for authentication in any way have issues during the tuesday maint, yea.

[polar sleet]

my mp server wiped completely. i luckily had a full seperated backup of the serverdescription.json and saved folder and replaced the recent ones with it. that brought my world back.

as far as connection issues try the forced relay to get connected.

recent update messed up a lot

[pastel totem]

How do you get to that file to edit the save file?

[polar sleet]

saved files are under R5

[maiden thunder]

Figured as much. Thank you for the confirmation.

[sage barn]

Just gotta wait for maint to end

[pastel totem]

R5 has no save files under it for me

[polar sleet]

running a dedicated or just hosting through basic game?

[pastel totem]

Hosting through the game

[polar sleet]

[your drive]\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Windrose\R5\Builds\WindowsServer\R5\Saved

[marsh glen]

< %localappdata%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\YourSteamID\ >

its' in App data

inside your world saves folder.

[sage barn]

%localappdata%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\YourSteamID\

[pastel totem]

There is nothing there

its just a folder with nothing in it

[marsh glen]

My apologies, I shoud have lead with "How are you hosting, local, or remote machine"

[pastel totem]

I am hosting and he is joining through the server info I provided

[marsh glen]

if that folder is empty you are not hosting on the same machine

[pastel totem]

?? I am hosting on the same machine I am talking on lol

[polar sleet]

depends on pc build and drive to mine is found a different route because i use E: drive lol

[marsh glen]

it should look like this

[pastel totem]

there is no save folder under the R5

[marsh glen]

no server files on a local host are stored in appdata local

Game files are stored in your steam dir

[marsh glen]

I repeate my point

[pastel totem]

I understand that but there is no save folder under the R5

[marsh glen]

your player, files, and account files are under your steam directory

[polar sleet]

i would agree with you if it wasnt that mine isnt running that way lol i pulled my game data from here and dropped it onto a dedicated

i now run a self hosted dedicated that currently supports 20?

[marsh glen]

yes you can do that, it will make copies if your solo , if you run hosted, it puts the files in appdata

[pastel totem]

Its just me and my bf so I only have the server set to 2

Which folder are you going into to set the coop?

[marsh glen]

it's in your world folder, the long string that you set as your WorldID in ServerDescription.json

[marsh glen]

in your file explorer put this in and hit enter

%localappdata%\R5

inthe address bar

[orchid oyster]

is something with nitrado my friend already resets his server several times and i still cant join anybody same problems

[marsh glen]

the steam update tuesday is fuggin with the proxy servers for invite codes

Direct IP should be uneffected

[pastel totem]

My R5 folder there is no worlds folder

[marsh glen]

what is in R5

you have to drill down the path I originally linked you

[marsh glen]

are you in the Appdata\Local directory?

what you are showing looks like your steam game directory

#🚧│tech-support message

[marsh glen]

there we go..

open saved profiles >> YOUR STEAM ID FOLDER

In both RocksDB\0.10.0\ AND RocksDB_v2\0.10.0

you should have Worlds folders

IN BOTH THESE FOLDERS you will have your World folders

In those folders you will have WorldDescription.json

Edit as I stated previous to BOTH files in both locations

[pastel totem]

The file is already set to true, but the coop map is not showing on his end

[marsh glen]

do you see his fast travel points when he places them and vice versa?

or are those not showing up for you as well?

[pastel totem]

They only show up if I go to the island he is at and vise versa

were also not seeing markers we place, I can place one in one area and he not see it and has to see a screenshot to set it in that location

[marsh glen]

placed markers don't share, at least not as far as I've seen. The world map should be the same, though you will have individual fog reveal progress, but fast travel markers should be shared, (so if you or he places a teleport, the other should be able to use it right away)

and ... now that' i'm re-reading your original question, I'm finding that I originally read it wrong...

My apologies, no, you can't see each others markers, and fog reveal is not progress shared. The map layout is, as it is the world.

TP points are shared, and usable by anyone regardless of placement

There may be a mod that allows this, I'm not sure I've not looked at new mods made in the past few days

[midnight hamlet]

I cannot join my dedicated server i get fatal error, but i can play my own servers

[mystic vigil]

i currently try to figure how to update my nitrado server to be.. well current game version

[ruby hill]

anyone had an issue where there dedicated server wont change difficulty keeps putting itself in ulta easy even though you have changed to normal

[dense flare]

Thank you to @marsh glen for tirelessly assisting me when it turns out I did something really stupid. Much appreciated sir!

[marsh glen]

The one thing I can give the devs for sure, is they made it pretty damn difficult to actually lose data. There's a couple redundant save processes, of redundant saves and auto backups.

[fluid radish]

I've got it the other way round, tried to lower the difficulty to kill Hands but the server just wont change health/damage multipliers despite the sliders showing they are lower

[ruby hill]

yh we realised ours was set to max so lowered it to normal but now it is bugged and wont change

[fluid radish]

Probably worth logging it as a game bug #1493348541177794601

[ruby hill]

yh probably

ours is that low that i have been able to kill the last boss without really taking any damage

[ruby hill]

it says to use the server providers section of the discord but i cant find that

[marsh glen]

You may need to try changing it in the json file the one located in your world save folder on the server WorldDescription.json

@ruby hill @fluid radish ☝🏼

ofc stop the server first

[mystic vigil]

okay ... srsyly iam feeling like a child trying to install mods in minceaft back in 2012... how do i update my server on nitrado x.x

[ruby hill]

apparently that wont work either because thats what the server ai support said to do

[marsh glen]

I self host dedicated VM's in my datacenter. I have no clue about various hosts update procedures. If no one else can offer assistance, I'd recommend reaching out and creating a ticket at your host or searching their docs for guides

[prime trellis]

The game won't launch on NA servers when I try to host a game, so I have to connect to SEA servers. Is this because the servers are full or something?

[marsh glen]

you did try it though?

[marsh glen]

invite code proxy server are having issues

[ruby hill]

yeah we tried it, we have made tickets as well

[marsh glen]

https://tenor.com/view/well-im-out-of-ideas-seth-meyers-late-night-with-seth-meyers-what-to-do-i-run-out-of-ideas-gif-20021495

ah ,,... well ...

[mystic vigil]

... you need to just Restart the server on nitrado... it does it automaticly...

[peak zinc]

So for someone wanting to import their world into a server... where do I find the files locally? I'm finding sources that say there's a windrose directory in local files but there is not...

[mystic vigil]

https://discordapp.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1493764667074412797/1493776120208691231 here

[peak zinc]

oh man, there are two world ID folders and idk which is which

[halcyon yew]

Check the date and files inside for the oldest one

[peak zinc]

they all match x.x

oh wait

nope, they all match somehow xD

[mystic vigil]

in the select screen

[peak zinc]

I did delete one

the folder is still there for both

[mystic vigil]

if you hover over your saves in select it shows the id

[peak zinc]

oh

ahhh now the other is gone, you all are awesome. Thank you.

So there is not RocksDB.... just RocksDB_v2.... is that ok?

This is to be imported into a Nitrado

oh man, can you not upload entire folder?

ah FTP client

[fleet barn]

my friends game crashes just as he's loading into the game, main menu is ok but game crashes when he's joining or hosting a server. Last time we played everything was normal. Any ideas?

[dense flare]

The only way you can lose data is by deleting/overwriting files, so back yo shizz up before updating peoples!

[dry citrus]

So were do i find the savegame backup files that were added in yesterdays update? Just broke my save when joining a server. now stuck in loading screen every time i load the world in solo till the whole pc freezes up.

[dense flare]

I say this because I overwrote one of my own files. It did not end well....

[lone ermine]

Hey guys, quick question about map exploration. Is there a way to share my discovered map/fog of war progress with my friends so they can see everything I've already uncovered?

I tried sending them my map files directly, but it doesn't seem to work—their maps are still dark. With the new save system in version 0.10.0.5, has anyone found a specific file or a way to sync map data between players on a dedicated server? Maybe there is a console command for this now? Thanks!

[marsh glen]

no

possbily a mod, but not in the base game

[molten lichen]

Afaik that stuff is tied to your character information

[dense flare]

If you go to someone else's world, like if they're hosting and you join, I guess the map is covered for you?

[wary ledge]

dedicated server from steam will not load world before update, keeps generating a new server description file and a new world folder

[marsh glen]

reference the guide in the pin. You'll have to adjust for your own local hosting, but the premise stands

you'll more focus on bringing restoring backup files files

[halcyon yew]

Gonna need an automated message to reference that pinned post soon haha

[marsh glen]

bet

[wary ledge]

guess my save is corrupted

[hollow ridge]

Went to load Game today and only find Default Level 1 Character - Tried to recover from the saved backups they all load to the same Lvl 1

I did load one and got this Error Screen But still just loaded to Lvl 1

I EVEN tried to replace with a Zipped Copy of the R5 Folder - Same thing

[peak mesa]

my game is smooth on my steamdeck but is literally dying on laptop

[dense flare]

You're giving me PTSD, that's where I was yesterday at this time and it took me 8 or so hours to sort it out. Hopefully you have a backup of your R5 folder or Saved folder from before the game update?

[marsh glen]

@wary ledge @hollow ridge Reference my massage chain here, I helped a user out of both your situations earlier today

#🚧│tech-support message

[wary ledge]

all i have is that default_backup folder no backup of that R5 folder before hand

[marsh glen]

you have hope

[hollow ridge]

tried that was all the backups have the same issue of loading to lvl - and even a Zipped Copy from almost 2 weeks ago is doing the same thing

[marsh glen]

mmmm... rip

did you copy to BOTH RocksDB folders and thier respective sub dirs?

RocksDB & RocksDB_v2

[hollow ridge]

BOTH - everthing says to delete the V2 folder before coping the files from backup

[marsh glen]

both folders have to be removed, back up first

[hollow ridge]

Correct - I have been Deleting RocksDB_v2 and RocksDB_v2_Backups Folders - Then Copying the 0.10.0 folder and the AccountDescription.json - pasting into RocksDB folder in the NONE Backup # folder and overwriting the files.

[marsh glen]

oof sounds like you might be lost then, bummer

[granite vessel]

I have no idea what happened but I connected to my server and everyone of the quest I had completed and was working on are just gone. Does anyone have any ideas how to get them back

[little wolf]

Im having issues connecting to any server, i played fine the last two days, now today i can not connect to my friends dedicated server, nor can i create a solo/offline nor can i host a game, everything will start loading and then after a few seconds it takes me right back to main menu

[wary ledge]

has we heard any thing from the developers on this server save issue?

[peak mesa]

maybe cloud sync

[little wolf]

do i just turn it off?

[peak mesa]

yes but there is something else you need to do about saved profiles but i forget what i am also trying to figure it out

[silent robin]

Yeah logged back in after dedicated server update and map is gone and all of the bases are gone. I'm sure it will get figured out. These things happen.

[vivid nimbus]

hello guys, thanks for all of your help & support here!

I have a weird issue, I have a dedicated server running in my lab and my friends are joining with no issues (I never turn it off), but I noticed when no one plays for a while no one can connect to it, I need to go and restart the dedicated server to be able to join, has any one encounter this ?
one more thing to add, I can see the logs get generated when I try to connect after a while (so it's not a networking issue) but it hangs on loading.

[marsh glen]

check the pinned guide

[marsh glen]

I've left my servers running for weeks, and not seen this.

[vivid nimbus]

it seems to me it's a rare one (I don't know if that's good or bad lol)

[jaunty wolf]

I beat the 2nd boss last night…what do I do?

[granite vessel]

Click cancel then there should be a retry button near play that retrys to sync steam cloud.

[little wolf]

so i created a new character and was able to connect to a server no problem, is there anyway to fix my "broken" characters save file so i dont lose my progress?

[granite vessel]

In your local appdata AppData/Local/R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/ the game stores a backup of your character you can try replacing your character file with one of the back ups

[little wolf]

i created a copy of my save profiles folder, disable my cloud sync launched game, closed game turned cloud back on, launched game joined server

[hard holly]

clearly EA but curious anyone have the issue of Doctor Galen "not appearing?" funny part was he appeared to me once when I came out of the cave... was able to talk to him and start the next set of quests... but now that I have the boat, I cannot find him - when I click the quest it shows me where he "Should be" but hes MIA

[granite vessel]

YEah its doing the same for me, I just launch and if it loads cloud save I delete everything in the save file copy the back up over and relaunch. It takes like 5 times for to get it to work. Not sure whats causing that.

[little wolf]

just happy its working lol

[marsh glen]

open your bonfire

[dry citrus]

Did you move the bonefire? if so you have to activate him in the fire.

[hard holly]

ahh well F me... haaa ty good sir

[dreamy ivy]

My cannons wont fire, i hold rmb to aim and click lmb but there spark and nothing comes out

anyone else had this problem?

[edgy iron]

hey all, does anyone know if the excessive drive writes that were fixed in the april 30th patch were still affecting people connected to a dedicated server? I'm guessing no?

it sounds like those writes probably only happened if you were playing on a local world or your own server or something right

[lone tartan]

Question: For four days now I have had to reboot the server, hosted on Gportal, before I am able to connect to the server. Just wondering, is this normal?

[edgy iron]

nope

when you say you've had to reboot it for four days in a row, why are you rebooting? does it outright crash, is there lag, what prompts the reboots

[digital prawn]

hello, does anyone have the how to fix your character and game reverting back to level 1?

[granite vessel]

AppData/Local/R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/ the game stores a backup you can try reverting to one of them

[lone tartan]

Not sure what the problem is. It is online, and says it is running. When I get off for the day I switch over to the game box and try to log in. Keeps kicking me back to the main screen. it is after that, my wife lets me know she has not been able to get in all day.

Once I shut it off, and bring it back up, login is fine

If I was able to identify the problem, I would report it. I will keep an eye on teh logs, see if I can find it

[granite vessel]

Not sure the the core issue is but if you are hosting on Windows you could create a scheduled task that kill the server and restart it every x hours. If you are on a Linux host you can use crontab to do that same thing.

[lone tartan]

It is Gportal, no access to the OS. But I do have a daily reboot set at 7:30 each day

[granite vessel]

Maybe try every 12 hours or if you always are on at the same time a schedule reboot could be a decent workaround. I have no idea what Gportal is I just self host when I need it.

[lone tartan]

Yea, I normally would self host, but guess I am getting old and lazy. Don't want to mess with it really. There come a point that the tools are just not appealing no more

[frozen raft]

hey, could you tell me how do you "restore" a backup save please ? when i open the zipfile i have no idea what to do with the file inside, as it's different . thanks

[granite vessel]

Check the pins theres a more detailed guide in there

I didn't interact with any zip files so I thinking you are in the wrong place

Turn steamcloud off while your trying to revert cause it will override what you do

[frozen raft]

ty !

just in case , I could maybe ask here my issue : I'm trying today to create a dedicate server on Nitrado, and it's "working" kinda, but it keeps loading a save from the 3rd of March, I suspect before the latest patch. And I can't understand why or what I am doing wrong. if someone hs a similar issue? it's driving me crazy, been on it for 3 hours... thanks !

[quartz scroll]

Hello dear developers! I ran into the problem that my pirate's profile was completely deleted when I was playing in a computer club. There is no way to restore it, because files from steam cloud were deleted on their own.

How can you help me to solve this problem so that I return to the previous level and do not spend 36.2 hours completing it again?

I really appreciate my gameplay and intend to continue chasing game quests, so I really hope for your help.
P.S.
We have our own separate server and we have all the backups from this server. Is there any chance that my character is saved in the server data (backups) and we can restore it. If it is possible, then how to do it?

[marsh glen]

it was an issue for dedicated servers as well, and it was resolved April 30th patch

[edgy iron]

yea i figured, but was it an issue for the clients that were playing on those dedicated servers is what im asking about

[marsh glen]

yeah it was an issue for all

[edgy iron]

...so the game did a ton of IO writes even while you were a client for a dedicated server?

[marsh glen]

it was constant writes to your saves files

[edgy iron]

neat

[marsh glen]

which is on both server and client. I personally observed it on both

[edgy iron]

well, appreciate it

[quartz scroll]

We have our own separate server and we have all the backups from this server. Is there any chance that my character is saved in the server data (backups) and we can restore it. If it is possible, then how to do it?

[granite vessel]

I hate to be the one to break it to but if the character save that stored inside of the appdata was deleted and it didn't back up to steam cloud there is no recovering that save.

[marsh glen]

Character progress is saved locally on your client. The world progress is saved on the server

[marsh glen]

there are backups in the appdata folder, that are automated, i may "possibly" still be recoverable

[marsh glen]

Check the pinned guide for reference

[marsh glen]

also use the search feature I've helped a handful of players today restoring player data

[wary ledge]

i think im cooked, no matter what backup version i pull over to local client i get the same data verification error

[granite vessel]

That sucks to hear there are save editors on Nexus and the client is responsible for all character so you could just cheat you stuff back in.

[wary ledge]

character is fine its the world from dedicated server that is jacked

[marsh glen]

the guide didn't help out?

[wary ledge]

nope

[marsh glen]

bumer

[granite vessel]

This is the importance of keeping backups.

[marsh glen]

you're the first we've not been able to recover

[wary ledge]

i have tried multiple backups from default_backup on the server to the my local client machine and always get this error

even backups from before the server was updated

[marsh glen]

yeah, your backups got cooked

[granite vessel]

I would reconmend to downgrade your client but because the constant writing the last version on the game did, I would just reconmend start a new world.

[wary ledge]

yeah im done, not starting a new world all over again

[wanton gyro]

hey guys is anyone able to help me set up a mod called WSE Project - Save Hub. I have tried forever and can not get it to work

[marsh glen]

oops wrong tag

[marsh glen]

is it dependant on UE4SS ?

[wanton gyro]

UE4SS? I was just going to the mod page and doing what it said and it was not working

[marsh glen]

some mods have dependencies. I particularly stay away from anything requiring UE4SS for the time being until they become more stable. They are tending to cause a lot of server stability issues.

If the mod you are trying to get installed is UE4SS dependent, I'd likely not spend my time on it, why i was asking about the dependencies.

[wanton gyro]

O it has no dependencies as far as I am aware of. The mod page did not mention having any

[marsh glen]

so it should be simply place the contents (usually .pak files) in the ~mods folders on the server and the client.

beyond that, if they are placed right, not much more you can do.

[wanton gyro]

On instructions it said place it in worlds folder because it is a world with some resources

[marsh glen]

I'm not familiar enough with that mod or process then to give help, maybe someone else can chime in

[white ginkgo]

yo so the mods gonna respond or what
i was on my paid server earlier today until about 6:30 est, now it keeps crashing my game, it was also doing it to my friend but now hes able to get into the server. whats going on

[marsh glen]

you prolly want to open a ticket at your host

[white ginkgo]

talking about where i got the server?

[marsh glen]

yessir

[white ginkgo]

everything its told me to do, does not work lmao

[dusk summit]

If anyone has info, my friend is trying to play windrose, and it was going fine the first few days, but out of no where it gave the "directx 12 is not supported on your system" error on startup. We have tried to "force" it via changing it to dx11 and d3 something which didn't work. Updated all drivers, and pc updates available. Just wondering if we are missing something. Thanks so much in advance.

[past gate]

Ummmm, I killed the game, but steam still thinks it is open, and when I hit "stop" it's stuck on stopping

[manic olive]

has anyone successfully moved a save from a server host to a steam cmd server?

im trying to move our save to my home server but cant get our old world from the server host to load i know im doing something wrong lol it keeps defaulting to a new world

[past gate]

Is there a way to share the map with your allies? This is silly

[misty stone]

anyone know how to get multiplayer working on mac

[vivid spade]

this games cooked4 days still cant play on my level 9 account no errors just kicks me to main menu with no error message

[wanton gyro]

hey guys is anyone able to help me set up a mod called WSE Project - Save Hub. I have tried forever and can not get it to work

[granite ravine]

Something I see an issue with is there's a whole lot of dedicated private server fixes but I'm not finding anything with these specific issues-

Crashing online when hosting a Private co-op non dedicated server but

Not crashing when playing solo and local..

Linux based (I play with steam deck)

I have tried deleting the save files and everything just to start a new and I crash every time I start to hear the waves coming in, just before it switches from the load screen to dropping into the world.

What possibly, can i be doing wrong.. or am I just waiting for another support update for Linux?

[loud forge]

What is the way to bring a world/save from dedicated server to local for singeplayer?

[halcyon yew]

Check pinned post

[granite ravine]

Love, I've tried the "delete the saves" fix

[vagrant heart]

Hey guys, finding a problem where we made another server after this update made the last one just keep saying it was out of date. The weirdness is that one of our guys can hop on but myself and the owner of the server cant seem to log in. We get stuck in a loop where it tries to load and then kicks us to the main menu. Is there a fix for that or location I can look for trouble shooting?

[halcyon yew]

I’m talking to Lock specifically

[granite ravine]

Oh I can't read I'm dumb

[halcyon yew]

I think for majority of us the dedicated server issues were similar enough that we could figure out a band aid solution for it, these one-offs (especially when it comes to steam deck) can have a nuuuumber of issues that may just require patience

[granite ravine]

v.v yee yee vali go back to enshrouded it's just that it was working ok until after the update

[halcyon yew]

Coming from a dev, the smallest change can make a huge impact, for all we know they made a change to how something spawns and it could break everything

If your issue still continuing by next week I’ll do some testing for u (left my deck at my parents place)

[granite ravine]

That would be so lovely

[rose orbit]

Game is super laggy anyone having this issue

[indigo cedar]

Nah I just keep getting kicked to title screen upon logging into a friends dedicated server

[clever crescent]

Can the the multipler and respawm filesbe edited?

[vagrant heart]

Same and finding no solution

[night vine]

I believe my cloud save is corrupted and causing a bunch of issues but it doesnt matter how many times I delete the files and try and cause a cloud sync issue it just keeps restoring the deleted files

[prime gulch]

lmao what an absolute disaster. how has there not been an official acknowledgement yet about how bad this update screwed the entire player base

[supple aurora]

My Windrose has been at a halt for the past 2-3 maybe 4 days lost track due to my friends server being stuck on an infinite loading screen loop.

[prime gulch]

there are lots of solution posts in (https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1493364524705775657)

[supple aurora]

We were playing just fine until we had bad lag and all disconnected

[prime gulch]

i successfully recovered my steamCMD based dedicated server after the update-bork, you can too

[supple aurora]

He does not want to do extra stuff to save the world and all our belongings and progress is in that server so we have not been able to play

[prime gulch]

i dont blame him, fixing it is a precarious pain in the rear because of how they tied steamcloud in

[supple aurora]

6-7 of us have been waiting patiently playing other games hoping windrose would fix it

[prime gulch]

should be a hotfix out by end of day otherwise they're gonna get review bombed

[halcyon yew]

they should;ve released coop and labelled it as beta instead

[prime gulch]

Cleanest way to do it is to just start a fresh dedi via SteamCMD, run it once and let it populate its configs, then copy the old world files into it and update the ServerDescription.json to reflect the appropriate world name

worked for me

[supple aurora]

my friends still paying for the server and its still up and running its just none of us can join it

[halcyon yew]

he needs to troubleshoot if he doesnt want to then u do it for him

[supple aurora]

I fear if we lose everything we might be done with the game

[prime gulch]

yea if you paid for hosting you're likely screwed... get access to the server directory and see if you can find the world backups. copy them and nuke the server and then reinject them

do not attempt to salvage, steamcloud will fight you every step of the way

[granite ravine]

Ok so update, I did the delete profile thing- again..
I was able to run the game and get into it on co-op I ran around for about a minute and thennnn
Crash

[prime gulch]

and request a refund cuz this is garbage. refund request influx gets devs moving

[halcyon yew]

yea i have a strong feeling its a steam deck/linux issue, early access + steam deck is not a good combo

[vagrant heart]

So weird thing, I was signed into a VPN and upon shutting the enitre VPN application off I was able to get onto the server just fine

[prime gulch]

also, test by creating a fresh new character and joining to see if its a mismatch between the serverdescription.json in your OG character

[halcyon yew]

u wont loose anything, just backup the world files and move it into ur local machine to confirm its not corrupted

[prime gulch]

that was part of the problem we had.. fresh new characters worked, but old characters couldn't join

it looks like a dedi server sided only issue, but its actually both a client side AND dedi server issue. hard one

[vagrant heart]

Do you all use a VPN by chance? Turning mine off made mine boot right away. I was fighting with all these different character save bugs stuff and finally just turned off my VPN and got in right away

[pastel totem]

Is there a issue with hosting a server? My bf is semi lagging but im lagging to the point im rubber banding and it says im running when im not

[warm jasper]

so i let it redo my config file and after one gameplay session, trying to log in again gets me infinite login loop

short of deleting the whole game i've tried everything. ree

[prime gulch]

honestly just backup your world files and wait for them to fix their blunder

[warm jasper]

that's the R5?

[prime gulch]

<dedicated server folder>\R5\Builds\WindowsServer\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\Default\RocksDB\0.10.0\Worlds\

[warm jasper]

Im on SP

not dedi server.

[prime gulch]

C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles<steamID>\Default\RocksDB\0.10.0\Worlds

they'll likely release an update that recursively fixes all the mayhem

......or get review bombed to death

[warm jasper]

so i can redo the config file, log in, log out, and then the next login 5min later is infinite loop. im starting to think we cant use DLAA on this

its so crazy. thats the only major change im doing and it used to work fine

[prime gulch]

try logging in with a fresh character

see if the worlds preserved

i spent like 5 hours doin all the typical bs, no idea what fixed it but its working...

[left agate]

Running a self hosted dedicated server using the docker container and after the update yesterday my server keeps rebooting without ever finishing. I Backed up the config folders and nuked the container and tried to start fresh, but now it fails to generate initial settings and gives up after 120seconds then container restarts itself (host is ubuntu server if that makes any difference)

[prime gulch]

other than that im using SteamCMD based dedicated server (not full game)

shrug not ur fault

[warm jasper]

fresh character i do the tutorial and then proceed to infinite load screen

either dead world or they need to fix game

last time i did fresh char it fixed the world

[prime gulch]

i imagine theres an entire studio full of people trying to fix it as we speak

[warm jasper]

yeah...me too. least im just onto building my final base now, so no major gameplay to do

[prime gulch]

not really sure but there is some persistent server ID, world ID, etc etc... and its all gotta match in the new RockDB, RockDB_v2, and RockDB_v2_backup or whatever folders

and then thers serverdescription.json and its all gotta match up too

dunno enough about R5 to give you an accurate overview of the proper setup tho... theres also client sided files, though once I got my server fixed my clients didn't need to do anything to rejoin successfully, just worked

[warm jasper]

It's confusing tbh

[errant holly]

Game freezes for 30 seconds every minute or so. I was reading that this is an issue with SSD saving (?) should I just not play until fixed? I had no stuttering for the first 20 hours of play time now it’s unplayable

[prime gulch]

I wouldn't worry about it too much, my players are reporting weird behaviours, enemies spontaneously despawning

so im pretty sure they royally screwed the game... save your world and wait for them to fix it all up

[errant holly]

Thanks luckily I’m playing on a dedicated server

[prime gulch]

might actually be doing yourself a disservice by modifying the world

[warm jasper]

I have NVME SSD and no issues

[errant holly]

Me too

Literally ran flawlessly and then I started getting stuttering and freezing

[warm jasper]

So all I've done is deleted the configs folder after renaming old one, and then it regenerated a config folder and poof I can log in fine. It's only after quitting the game, that I can't log in the next time.

Also it's weird that I turned off steam cloud after deleting the folder, and it wants to use steam cloud anyway

[prime gulch]

yea prob steamcloud issue of some sort

[warm jasper]

Maybe there's a setting I didn't click right on that.

[prime gulch]

this is what happens when someone forgets a semi colon

[naive mountain]

hello

is there anybody here who can help me with my character not working?

[hallow jacinth]

How much RAM do you have installed in your system?

[uneven tiger]

what is the matter with servers? I am not able to log on our Server?

[lilac lake]

Posted this in the player help section.. didnt see this one:
Does anyone know why my server is showing as client server mismatch? I am running dedicated server and the may4 update has just made it so no one can join the server. Running the server through steamCMD and it has the star wars update, but still the mismatch. I am on, version: 0.10.0.5.120-073042fb but no player can join.

[lilac lake]

FUN!!! Running windrose on linux is a pain. are you using wine10? or is everything pre baked in your docker container?

[left agate]

I think prebaked? here is the image I'm using indifferentbroccoli/windrose-server-docker:latest most env vars are default, just changed name, invite code, and password.

[jaunty tide]

There are two issues affecting Linux servers: a Docker update that broke SteamCMD (you must downgrade Docker CE, set seccomp to unconfined, or inject the previous seccomp profile), and a windrose+ broken setup (it was just fixed, I believe).

[lilac lake]

The worst kind of error!!!

[left agate]

Hero! Found the github issue relating and I am on docker ce 29.4.2 I'll downgrade and keep my fingers crossed. thanks!

[snow burrow]

well this is intresting im on my friends docker server right now as we speak he must have done that lmao

[left agate]

may not have upgraded docker version yet. I upgraded cause I manage servers with ansible and docker got updated in my weekly patching.

that's what i get for wanting to stay up to date lol 🙃

[hushed latch]

Was overall GPU usage reduced in this latest update? I have somehow went from 85%-95% utilization down to below 60% and I haven't done anything to cause that kind of a drop. I'm not complaining, I think it's great, I'm just curious if it was done in the patch or my GPU just decided to take a break?

[lilac lake]

Bump: Anyone know how to fix this?

[radiant shoal]

ok this is a weird one. . i copied a folder in the worlds folder to back it up. whent into the world in game did some changes,. deleted the folder in the worlds folder and put the backup folder in. and the world was unchanged

[icy vine]

I really need help I've hit delete on the wrong server

Is there anything I can do to get it back?

[full valve]

Does anyone know how to fix a glitch where the plague effect continues to grow even if you fast travel away from the swamp???

[exotic aspen]

Anyone hosting via unraid able to guide me replacing the save files for the map from my backup? Whenever I delete them and the paste in the backup save files it ignores them and starts a fresh map

[mellow lodge]

Cannot connect to LAN server on linux via Wine64. Server appears to start and run but ports not open. Using xvfb to spoof the display (which isn't needed anyway for WindroseServer.exe so why?). Relevant config lines:

"UserSelectedRegion": "EU",
"P2pProxyAddress": "127.0.0.1",
"UseDirectConnection": true,
"DirectConnectionServerAddress": "192.168.2.115:7777",
"DirectConnectionServerPort": 7777,
"DirectConnectionProxyAddress": "0.0.0.0",

Any help? This should be dead simple but it's not

[manic mulch]

"DirectConnectionServerAddress": "192.168.2.115"

[mellow lodge]

tried both ways. no luck

[manic mulch]

so you put the ip in the Direct IP slot on client?

[mellow lodge]

yes. and the port

port in the port slot

[manic mulch]

im not sure then im haveing a bit of a issue my self steamcmd seems broken now - heh wont update

[mellow lodge]

testing the port on the server box shows the port is not open

tried several docker solutions. all crap

don't build/run various resaons

I used a Win generated server folder copied over to the linux box.

[timid marsh]

Maybe want to try mine build?
https://github.com/UberDudePL/windrose-dedicated-server-docker
I was able to help few people run their's docker when it did not build and updated Troubleshoot.md with those steps. Maybe it will work for you as well?

it has built in command tool to setup for first time and mange it as well, notifications, automatic backups and few other things

[exotic aspen]

where do i find this? %localappdata%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\YourSteamID\

[errant holly]

[grand trail]

STEAMDECK
Guys, Cannot even get to the main menu! Infinite loading screen

[hallow jacinth]

[thin drift]

Ehm, what?

[grand trail]

Did it , even reload the whole game from scratch

[steady quarry]

Hey all,

i have copied my save game from my local dedicated server to my remote dedicated server. i replaced the island ID and turned on the windorse server. on startup it is generating a new save game and overwrites the island id in the ServerDescription.json. What is the issue?

only difference. i am using direct connection in serverdescription on the remote dedicated server

[thin drift]

Afaik the World ID is important to keep the same, but I don't believe that to be the full story for you. Sorry...

[marsh glen]

Did you copy your saved world folder into both respective sub directories in RocksDB AND Rocksdb_v2 ?

This is an important step a lot of folks miss.

[steady quarry]

oha

[marsh glen]

I have no idea how to answer this, you're asking how to find a pathing to a literal pathing.

[steady quarry]

no. the new dedicated server has not created v1 folder

[exotic aspen]

sorry i just had to click show hidden files.... the appdata folder was hidden on my C drive user by default

[marsh glen]

When you say v1 are you referring to the RocksDB folder?

[steady quarry]

yep. i will try what you said and lets see. thats the only difference between both servers. the old one has a savegame which got migrated to v2. i tought that RocksDB (v1) is not relevant anymore

[marsh glen]

Yea from my testing it appears if you were update "migrated" it didn't move the saves, it split them. So both locations are required. Disabling cloud save for now is also recommended.

[steady quarry]

looks like you are right 😄 oh man. what a mess

[grand trail]

Still need some help 🙁 can someone explain me

[marsh glen]

You may also want to completely rename/remove the RocksDB and RocksDB_v2 then import fresh from your old server (local) seems to pickup better that way

[marsh glen]

The steam deck because it is Linux based is a whole other set of problems. A couple users are having the same issue, you might be better off posting in the support threads

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1493364524705775657

And maybe a dev can help you there. This is a dev issue, that likely no community member will have an answer to.

[steady quarry]

@marsh glen : My server doesnt create a new save game anymore but when i try to connect the game ends in a loading loop

[lone ermine]

Hey guys, I'm having a technical issue with my server FTP. I'm trying to install mods, but my hosting (4Netplayers) keeps blocking the tilde character (~). Every time I try to create the ~mods folder, I get a '550 No such file or directory' error. Because of this, I can't upload my .pak files properly. Does anyone have a workaround or a different folder path for mods that doesn't require the tilde? Thanks!

[drifting lark]

You can name it LogicMods too

[marsh glen]

Are cloud saves turned on ?

[drifting lark]

Works on Gportal atleast

[marsh glen]

There's a pin in this chat room re this issue

[lone ermine]

Thanks for the help with the folder name! One more thing regarding a 'stack size' mod: Do I (and other players) need to have the mod installed locally as well, or is it enough to have it only on the server side? I want to make sure we won't have any sync issues or crashes when moving items.

[marsh glen]

It always safe to place the mods client side as well, most require it, but it is ok to place the "server only" ones client side as well.

[drifting lark]

exactly, it's all time safe to let everyone have the mods. I do have a .rar file on my discord with all required mods

[steady quarry]

where can i turn it of on server settings?

[marsh glen]

I do recommend staying away from UE4SS dependant mods for now, they are not quite there yet, and do cause stability issues often.

[marsh glen]

This is a steam client setting for the game it self

[true quiver]

so have a dedicated server hope would i go about moving my world to it?? can someone help?

[marsh glen]

You can use the pinned guide as a reference, mainly the last 4 steps, same procedure.

Discord also has a fabulous search function.

[true quiver]

you are a legend! thank you!!!!!!!

discord has a search function? i didnt know that lol

[marsh glen]

Yessir

[raven elbow]

updated server through steamcmd, game still telling me versions do not match.. any idea?

just get this when trying to update again

[fathom egret]

Hi! I've followed the guide on how to run dedicated server, and everything is working perfectly: items, progression, quests, etc.
BUT, when I start the server, it creates a new island each time. When I change the IslandID in the ServerDescription file, whenever I start the server from a .bat file, it changes the ID to a new one. Any thoughts?

[dense flare]

You need to delete the manifest in the /steamcmd/steamapps/ folder for 4129620 and try again

[marsh glen]

This, if you're running a docker container it's the .acf file

[marsh glen]

Have they fixed the big data storage issue that’s killing SSDs?

They said they had but proven otherwise

[mellow lodge]

Thanks but I don't want code joining, I want direct connect over a LAN.

[mossy yarrow]

https://www.reddit.com/r/crosswind/s/VhrthBEy70

[marsh glen]

This was resolved in the 4/30 patch

[mossy yarrow]

According to the posts I’ve found it’s just reduced not fixed

Hmm gonna try and see for myself how it behaves

[marsh glen]

The first two post in what you linked even claiming it's patched. I've also been monitoring both server side, as well as client side since the 30th patch and well before on 7 different servers, and various clients.

It's patched, and the current amount of writes is well within normal.

With that said you make your own decisions, if you are uncomfortable playing, then don't.

hell even the post it self says it's patched, just b/c the OP is not satisfied with the reduction does not mean it's not within normal game writes parameters

[mossy yarrow]

I found it interesting

I’m still gonna keep playing haha

[brazen kindle]

Anyone else having issues entering their saves ive been stuck on a loading screen than i get an application hung pop up dk what caused it i was playing fine yt

[marsh glen]

check the pins

[rose crane]

35gb/h is still not normal for a game to do.

and that number is after the patch

[restive quail]

The current large number of writes is a direct result of the save backup system.

[halcyon agate]

Before the patch, with my NVME 990 Pro 2TB, I played about 80 hours (or about 8 TB of wear), which equals 0.7% wear on the SSD (out of potential 1200 TBW)... it would take about 23,000 hours to play to kill it... how can I say that I would change the CPU twice before the SSD (and crystal disk say i've 25To TBW actually after one year with lot of game, OS, and others, and 99% clean)

[marsh glen]

You wanna know what I find even MORE interesting that NO ONE is talking about?

The calls to foreign IP's while the game/server is running even if you're running a dedicated server inside a local network, with no calls to invite codes (proxy connections) or even dedicated IP.

I've seen calls to IPs based in Russia, as well as various Middle-Eastern IP Geo-locations.

That concerns me far more

[marsh glen]

This, honestly, the "I'm a vibe IT guy" needs to check some reality

[restive quail]

LOL I just noticed that yesterday, but mostly because my firewall blocked it.

If the firewall didn't give me the notice, I wouldn't have paid attention. I have areas like Russia and China blocked anyway for obvious reasons.

[mossy yarrow]

Ok that's just weird

[marsh glen]

I watch calls from my internal networks constantly. I run a small data center in house for my business

[brazen kindle]

anyway i do this without deleting my save i tried replacing the save with the backup

[remote tendon]

Heyyy,
maybesome one got a clue for.

I host my own server on my pc (second pc same network).

Before this night i could connect as normal, now after the update, it generated a new world that i could connect to but when i changed the settings back to the old word he cant find the server with the invite code and when i try to connect via IP it sends me back to the Main Menu without an error.

Console looks fine (i think), ports are open, even tried a new installation..

[marsh glen]

Pinned comments

[marsh glen]

I'm not sure what you're asking

[mossy yarrow]

Which tool do you use to monitor etc? I have a server computer with Proxmox and a lot of stuff on it

[brazen kindle]

can i use a backup or do i have to start fresh

[marsh glen]

you can use backups

[marsh glen]

I run numerous monitors, but mainly have alerts setup from my firewalls/gateways (Sonicwall, PfSense,.. etc..)

If you really want to go easy mode you can just check client side from Resource/performance monitor, (found from task manager), under networking, just watch the windrose-shipping.exe and the IP's it calls while running the game client. It's not hidden at all.

I'm actually writing up a full post about this, and will be presenting it to the devs today. There need to be some explanations for these calls..

Tin foil hat conspiracy theory: you want to make a successful attack on a nation at a high level? ,.. Best place to start,.. Hide it in a game, lmao"

Disclaimer, I'm not saying windrose does that, but doesn't mean other games aren't collecting everything they shouldn't be..

[restive quail]

I saw this with another EA game, (I honestly forget which one. Ark, Conan or 7 Days are most likely). When it was filling the MP server list, it was basically pinging each server to see if it was alive. Leaving the game on the server list for longer than about five minutes would fill the Windows DNS cache and kill the local network connection.

[remote tendon]

I tried it rn, i cant see the world locally, when i put in the RocksDB folder aswell it says there is a mitigration error and it needs to be deleted 🙁

[marsh glen]

Yeah,.. Tha's a def a "No Beuno" situation...

In all honesty, I have a feeling the answer from the dev's in this situation is going to be, that even on closed LAN systems, or Direct IP, the game and server is still calling the "Proxy" servers used for Invite code system. Pretty sure this just needs to be a way to disable the invite code system entirely for users not interested in using it.

[marsh glen]

did you place in RocksDB AND RocksDB_v2?

Did you also verify your DedicatedServer.json contents are correct after placing in the correct folder?

[remote tendon]

yes to both, but i can do it again

[marsh glen]

I would blow out the folders in your localappdata you just imported, then try again

[remote tendon]

still cant migrate to newest version :/

[marsh glen]

ok that world file may be corrupted and unrecoverable. You can try bringing back each backup version you have one by one until you find one that is salvageable. (Expect some progress loss)

[remote tendon]

funny thing there is no backup from this world in the backup folder

[marsh glen]

ok there are now two backup locations since the Patch 5/3:

are you able to see both those locations?

specifically the folders with _backups

[remote tendon]

i dont have default_backsup the folder but the other one and there is another world from testing but not the one with actual play time xd

[marsh glen]

oof...

[remote tendon]

yep :/

[marsh glen]

did you ever by chance have manual backups you made, or automated?

[remote tendon]

i let a friend try the same steps but same error since i uploaded the worlds to get it to my pc haha

nope just the 15h from the last two days sadly

i mean i could send you the folder and maybe i am just stoopid to do it(i dont think so tbh)

[marsh glen]

https://tenor.com/view/rip-dr-evil-homies-gif-10430138

I'm sorry for your loss, RIP

[remote tendon]

it is what it is in the end but well haha

[marsh glen]

pretty sure I'll get the same situation, basically when you bring it local, It's trying to reimport, and rewrite the permissions to fix what's happening on your server.

... you could try blowing out what you imported one more time, and this time jsut bring over just the RocksDB not the v2 folder, and your json.

The client will try to fully reimport the RocksDB to RocksDB_v2. It's a long shot but it may work.

[remote tendon]

ill try it should not take long, ty

[marsh glen]

do you have cloud saves off?

in the client

[remote tendon]

yeah turned it off for it

[marsh glen]

ok

[warm jasper]

i might try this too and if it doesnt work just uninstall. i have cloud sync off and the first boot up of the game seems to work fine. its the second boot up (if i close and relaunch), that immediately has a problem.

[marsh glen]

please let us know if it works out for you

[remote tendon]

yeah sadly still corrupted, time to get a new run haha

[marsh glen]

[hot tartan]

Running into an odd error with my dedicated server. Everything is saved on my F:/ drive an SSD but for some reason the server is sending a slow task error pointing to my D:/ drive an older HDD it shouldn't be using. Is there a way to point these back-ups to a folder saved on my F:/ drive with the rest of the saved files?

[marsh glen]

That is one I've not seen before, I'd recommend posting this in

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1493364524705775657

And maybe a dev can respond.

[vestal niche]

What is it I am hearing about game causing huge SSD issues?

[marsh glen]

you're hearing old resolved news, but you can research and make up your own mind about it.

[silent rover]

hello every time i try to load my local save on my server that i bought , it just keep loading up a new world instead of the ones i put in there , is there any fix to this at all ?

[remote tendon]

did you edited the json file so it takes the uploaded one?

[lime topaz]

That save file is corrupted.

[marsh glen]

this is not entirely true

[marsh glen]

check the pinned guide

[silent rover]

i got it working

[warm jasper]

I tried the steps I listed earlier and I got it to load once, and then it crashed again and infinite looped. Think I'm done with this game for a bit.

Nice game. Just needs to actually work

[timid marsh]

It is also possible, it's in the readme.md

Direct connection (alternative to invite code, requires port forwarding)

USE_DIRECT_CONNECTION=false
DIRECT_CONNECTION_SERVER_PORT=7777
DIRECT_CONNECTION_PROXY_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0
USER_SELECTED_REGION= # Leave empty for auto-detect (SEA, CIS, EU)
PORT=7777
QUERYPORT=7778
MULTIHOME=0.0.0.0

[marsh glen]

*If your connecting in the same LAN network as the server you will not need portforwarding in your gateway

[somber canyon]

Anyone happen to know why my Dedicated Server keeps over writing the difficulty settings...

I change them and it says na and sets them back

[timid marsh]

is the server stopped fully?

[timid marsh]

True, it is not needed but as general rule, it is needed, assuming majority of servers are setup to connect from different places

[marsh glen]

He specified a LAN connection

[timid marsh]

I just quickly copied an extract from readme

[timid marsh]

On another note, do you know what needs to copied apart from world folder in order to move the map discovery progress between solo and dedicated server?

[marsh glen]

Map progress is all part of the world save in the world folder. It's just the json and both RocksDB & RocksDB_v2 folders (specifically the World folders from each, however a lot of users are having better luck bringing the entirety of the root RocksDB/_v2 folders)

[lunar oriole]

im never gonna get to play this game huh

[lime topaz]

Ensure the game is not blocked by any security app and remove "run as Admin" flag from it.

[lunar oriole]

issue still peresists when i make sure that the security app isnt blocking it and i dont run it as admin

[mellow lodge]

Have you verified this? For example, you have USE_DIRECT_CONNECTION=false

[lime topaz]

I'm fairly positive it's one or the other.
Create Process failure code 2e4 is a permission error.

[lunar oriole]

well i completely disabled my security, but i also added the steam folder as an exclusion just in case, and it doesnt run as admin as i have the box in compatability unchecked

i figured it out

[pastel totem]

So when my bf loads up the server I can connect to it, and then he finally loads in and when he does it crashes, would verifying the files fix it or?

[marsh glen]

It may help, it could also be his player files are corrupted and needs to restore a backup of them.

[marsh glen]

mind sharing your solution, for people that may have the same error in the future..

[hard holly]

Any place in here for Dedicated server support? I uploaded my map via WinSCP, changed the config files for the WorldIsLandID: and still everytime i "start the server and someone loads in" it creates a new world... - Also found an older video, that claimed we had to transfer the file in binary which I did as well...

[marsh glen]

look at the pins

[hard holly]

yep did all that

odd - not too sure what is going on then

[autumn flame]

my dedicated server keeps restarting atm (runnin in docker) is this known (if yes is there a workaround?) (already tried deleting all data in the docker data directory got the same result. it just exits directly after starting)

[marsh glen]

did you make sure to place your world save fold in both the sub dirs of RocksDB & RocksDB_v2?

[hard holly]

there is only 1 folder unless the backup is the 2nd?

[marsh glen]

You can try copying the _v2 and name it RocksDB

ofc shut down the server process first.

Then when you boot up, It may force the server startup process to remigrate.

Beyond this, if you're renting hosting you may want to reach out to your host and open a ticket, or post in the https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1493364524705775657 thread

[elder glen]

I have a server that I can connect to set up with steamcmd but everytime I try to change the difficulty preset it resets to medium when I launch the server anyone have a fix for this or know what im doing wrong?

[hard holly]

yeah its with Nitrado their setup is a bit diff then our local files

[light sand]

is there a problem with hosting multiplayer rn? my friend either cant connect or his connection is so bad cannons fire 10 seconds after he shot them, both of us have 1000/1000 ethernet

[mellow lodge]

It is also possible, it's in the readme.

[lime topaz]

What was it in the end ? 👀

[jolly basalt]

my friend keeps getting the hung error while trying to joinmy server we have renamed the save ,run as admin,gone into campatibility and checked those boxes and still gets it ,,any ideas?

[autumn flame]

well i figured it out. my problem was this here https://github.com/indifferentbroccoli/windrose-server-docker/issues/54

[pastel totem]

So we are still having this issue, how would he restore/back up? Verifying files did nothing

[somber canyon]

Yes it is stopping fully

[sage barn]

Has anyone had an issue where the game just refuses to read the game files? Everything keeps dropping down to the minimum settings, and we can't even manually edit the file to get it to stick.

[lime topaz]

Is the R5 directory in %LOCALAPPDATA% set to Read Only ?

[sage barn]

Nope.

We can play just fine, its just the difficulty multipliers all revert to the lowest possible setting, which makes us think theres a filesystem issue

[ember pine]

Hello, I need help. My save game is gone after a Steam Cloud sync error. I tried to restore it using the local backups in RocksDB_v2_backups by copying them into RocksDB\0.10.0, but the game still forces me to create a new character.My backup folder contains Accounts and Players folders with CURRENT files inside. Could someone please help me check if my database is corrupted or help me fix it? Thank you!

[earnest cove]

Im confused i cant load into my game

its keeps loading

[meager scarab]

i have the same issue, i even tried migrating it to a local dedicated server that i installed via steam to cancel out the FTP as a problem.
doesnt work there aswell.

Did you get it to work properly?

another thing i noticed is
my island id is quite short an purely decimal, every other id the servers i tried to migrate the save to made id´s in hex and are quite longer.
could be coincidence but at this point im getting paranoid

[digital drift]

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1501430959701098507

Was a fun goosechase, but this seems to be why ha

Saves + Configs not loading to tldr that entire thing can be handled via:
-> Rename the RocksDB_v2 folder to RocksDB
-> Remove the RocksDB_Backups_v2 folder
-> Make edits to your config + boot

Something along the way is hard prioritizing archived snapshots or the v1 db, v2 is basically a read point nothing is meant to be written to it (Right now, anyway)

[hard holly]

I stepped away right now, I noticed nirado browser interface was lagging between WinSCP and their actual “file explorer” I went in and nuked all their files and copied directly over from my side. Left it off incase there is some kind of cache issue in the background. I’ll let you know when I get back if what I did worked - otherwise I’ll open a ticket with them and have them reprovision that box

[meager scarab]

good luck with the ticket, since for me its not even working locally i dont think nitrado has anything to do with the problem

[hard holly]

Locally works fine. From their side. My game world is fine too when I go local. Their “start up process” seems to over write the server config with a new world on load up.

I’m guessing their system might be calling a corrupt tag on my upload. Another guy on YT made a comment about the upload “had to be binary” or it would fail. Although I’m thinking now due to the new file path names wind rose team might have fixed that. I’ll try a standard copy if this fails

[meager scarab]

i can host if i go ingame on host, but as soon as i try copying the game files to a dedicated server that is installed on the same harddrive i get this issue

[hard holly]

Gotcha I haven’t even tried that. That might allude to the binary transfer issue which. Being in systems for years I don’t see why that’s a thing. You can try a powershell copy “robo copy” look up the commands this keeps all attributes = between transfer

[misty cypress]

Can someone help me get rid of this broken link? If I hit confirm, it comes back the next time i open the game

[solid flame]

I have the same problem

[sage barn]

Ill give that a try later when I get to my computer

Thanks for the help

[solid flame]

Same, but in polish xD

[knotty river]

hey, im hosting a server for my friends. everything was wroking fine till yesterday but today when i load into the same server it just throws me back to the main menu. Anyone experience this issue?

[solid flame]

I've played around 12:00 totay.

[earnest cove]

So i cant load into the game anymore what now i cant play anymore?

[coral peak]

I actually came here to ask this myself. Save loads just fine in single player, though It sends me back to main menu on Multiplayer

[knotty river]

Try other servers
Seems like its happening in na/eu servers. I loaded into CIS and i was in first try

[zenith panther]

I have the same problem, and I reported it myself, but received no reaction or answer. It's become extremely annoying. These multiplayer problems should be fixed, or the developers should compensate all players and go back to development.

[modern bear]

Hi, i set up a dedicated Server on my second computer using steamcmd

Joining works fine, but every time i try to change the difficulty in the WorldDescription.json using NPP+, after restarting the Server with the Batch File, it instantly overwrites the Settings back to Medium.

Island ID is the Same in ServerDescription.json and WorldDescription.json.

Is it correct that the ServerDescription isnt located in the root folder after Installing, but in the R5 folder?

Is there a solution to this? Please, ive been sitting here for ours, trying different permissions, reading forums, everything.

Its running on a client with windows 11.

[marsh glen]

You're not gonna wanna hear this, but it's early access. There's a big warning telling you that, as well as telling you in game features may or may not work. Hell it pretty much spells out the game may not work at all. You/we take the risk buying into early access titles. We all accepted the risk of stuff being borked.

Not saying the devs can't or shouldn't respond, but technically they don't "have" to do anything.

The biggest problem I've seen is a lot of people running/setting servers that really ,.. just don't know the first thing about running a server. Most, accept they don't know, and accept they might not be able to figure it out,.. But then there are the few that expect too much when they don't even know the slightest how to begin troubleshooting, (like using a search, or checking pinned comments first. 🙄 )

[marsh glen]

ServerDescription.json resides in the R5 Folder. The difficulty issue has been brought up by a lot of people, AFAIK there is no known resolution

[old rover]

hi, i rented a server today and ive followed the steps but i cannot get my local save to load into the game. i copied my world folder to the world folder on the server. i edited that json file and put my long world name in the world Id but when i load the game it starts a new world and the json file has a new ID in it...

ive used 3 different ftp programs, followed a youtube video, ive deleted it all and started off fresh 3 times as well. i also stop my server before i do anything..

[cyan wren]

lost my whole dedicated server somehow. have the old files but it keeps making a new world now and no matter what i edit to accept the island id it just makes a new world. very very frustrated

[marsh glen]

pinned comments

[cyan wren]

all i did was shut it down and then try to start it a diff day

[old rover]

sounds like my issue badguy except i just rented mine today and it keeps changing what i put in the fileas waell

im new to discord where do i view a pinned comment

[granite vessel]

The first thing I would check is making sure that you are copy the save file into the right directory inside of ther server. This is what mine as an example

/R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/0.10.0/Worlds/AF0FD9F472BF4396D88574BFF93EA484/

You should see a bunch of .sst files inside of the save directory
As for my json file where I specify the world it looks like this

[errant pine]

hi goats, all servers services pings are not that good and im kinda in the middle, any idea of how to make my pc host s server directed to my pc

[granite vessel]

You can run the server software directly on your pc and connect to it via putting localhost in the ip field when direct connecting.

Inside of steam install the windrose Dedicated Server software and run it. Do note the server must be running in the background in order for you to be able to connect to it.

[mental locust]

what does this mean

[granite vessel]

Are you on linux?

[mental locust]

windows 11

[errant pine]

you are a linuxenjoyer prob 150iq, im a potato head didnt understand anything of what you just said, any guide for that?

[granite vessel]

I was having that same error but it was because of Nvidia 595 drivers reverting to 590 fixedd ti for me

[vernal fjord]

I've paid for a dedicated server. Can no longer connect to it but my brother is able to... can I please get some assitance..

[cyan wren]

well i think I got it back

[granite vessel]

• 1. Are you able to ping the servers IP/.
• 2. What does the server console show when you are trying to connect?

[vernal fjord]

Not sure what you mean by ping the server. Just purrchased one from the game through Nitrado

I can tell you that my brother can connect no issue however it sends me back to the main menu.

[granite vessel]

I don't have much to go on right now if possible could you open the server hosters website navagate to the console and see if the console see you trying to connect.

If nothing shows up in the console when you are trying to connect I would check your firewall first and if you still are having issue connect try a VPN

[vernal fjord]

K

[cyan wren]

okay, i got the save file back, but now its running 3 server instances in one dedicated exe. wtf

[vernal fjord]

Anybody else have any insight? Renting the server from Nitrado, cannot connect after doing the tutorial but another player can. Server shows online and reachable.

[granite vessel]

Were you able to connect initially? maybe your character save bugged out.

[lime violet]

Hello, I am trying to copy the world from my Nitrado server to my new VPS and the world files are all back dated. I don't have anything I have done in say the last 24 hours. Does anyone know why I can't copy an updated version of my world?

[granite vessel]

Are you still able to access the Nitrado website to download the updated version on your save off of them then copy it over to the VPS. Or did you lose access and only have outdated saves?

[lime violet]

I have access, I literally have the server offline, I copy the world folder to my local hosted server, load the world and parts of my map arent open, materials and things I built no there. Nothing basically I have done in the last 24 hours

[granite vessel]

Did you edit the json file?

[lime violet]

Yes, it is referecing the correct world file.

The would loads, just yesterdays version

[granite vessel]

Have you tried replacing the contents of the save its able to load with the one you want to have it load? Please make backup beofore you override the files if you don't have any.

[lime violet]

yes, I have deleted the entire world folder.. directly copied it via FTP to the local hosted server.. the world loads, but as it was a day or so ago

building, mats in crates, planting.. everything is as it was before, not how it was 1 hour ago when I turned off the server.

If I log back into Nitrado, its all correct and updated..
So I don't understand how copying the "world" would give me something different then what's on Nitrado.

[granite vessel]

Just to be sure you are copying the world from the directory

/R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/[GameVersion]/Worlds/

The only thing I can think of is that world you are copying is a backup and not the one that Nitrado is using.

It makes no sense that if you copied the world from there and moved it over it should just work I was able to convert from singleplayer to a dedicated server doing this.

If you can't get it in the best option might just be save editing everything you lost back in

[lime violet]

bruh lol..

I am copying literally directly into the folder... from the correct location, to the correct location...

[granite vessel]

Look man I don't understand either sorry

I wish you the best of luck

[digital drift]

Does the v2 folders exist?

Under SaveProfiles/Default

[lime violet]

on Nitrado or Local?

[digital drift]

If the RocksDB_v2 / RocksDB_v2_Backups exists it prioritizes those bar none

[lime violet]

okay see that would explain alot.

[halcyon yew]

Just double checking, are u going through the pinned instructions,

[lime violet]

Yes they exits. should that be what I am copying?

[lime violet]

Pinned changes?

[digital drift]

Youd want to move the save data thats latest there, though truth be told Id do it the unintended way cause save loading is a bit janky atm haha

-> Move the v2 folders to some other dir (or just rename them)
-> Put the save under RocksDB (the v1 path iirc)
-> Boot

Server should grab + migrate on its own

Alternatively, remove the _Backups dir and just rename the RocksDB_v2 to RocksDB

^ And yeah make sure the save data is under that v2 dir pre-rename (or after)

[marsh glen]

Specifically the last 4 steps of the pinned guide would be what you're looking at, but now that you have Kringle here, just do what he says

[halcyon yew]

#🚧│tech-support message

[digital drift]

We found loading it to the client really isnt needed, its more so stemming from the backend save handling of this : https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1501430959701098507

It may help, so wont discourage trying it - but it should work entirely server side; unless the client has some RocksDB fix the server doesnt

[marsh glen]

yeah, I know the guide is more than what's needed, but it does get the job done.

[digital drift]

No forsure! Its solid

[halcyon yew]

i would like to think the moving back and forth fix is easier for most of the technically challenged people here (no offense)

[digital drift]

I think its just preference, in my eyes just deleting the v2_Backups folder and renaming RocksDB_v2 to RocksDB and hitting start is easier xD though that also raises the variables involved in each persons specific save issue

[marsh glen]

I found the move back and forth does fix some perms that get changed on the server

[digital drift]

Both get the job done, so nbd!

[halcyon yew]

yea try both people

[granite vessel]

How should I go about adding rcon to my sever.

[digital drift]

Ah yeah that makes sense

[halcyon yew]

if they both don't work then just wait

[digital drift]

Would need to use mods -> #│modding-general

[marsh glen]

Your method essentially makes the server rebuild the new _v2 files, and re"import" the world save, so yeah you're right it is accomplishing the same thing really

[lime violet]

Okay so just to clairfy, If you want to copy your Windrose Server to a new VPS or Locally hosted, you need to copy the SaveProfiles/Default Folder...
Not the "World" Folder.

The simplest way to put it?

[digital drift]

More or less, to make sure it all migrates yes

[marsh glen]

right

[lime violet]

Thanks!

[digital drift]

Though if after doing that its still finnicky, you'll wanna follow either the large pin by Jedi or the few steps I tossed in - both can help save load issues, just kinda depends whats causing it

[smoky tulip]

Is anyone else still having SSD issues with Windrose?

[marsh glen]

elaborate

[digital drift]

^^

[smoky tulip]

When I play Windrose it tries to read/write on my SSD at anywhere between 100-200 mbs causing insane amounts of stuttering in game.

[marsh glen]

That's shoulda been resolved on the 4/30 patch...

which I would assume you have since you can't play without updating..

[smoky tulip]

So they say, but as of last night I'm still having the same issues, if not even worse. I'm wondering if its still persistent for anyone else

[granite vessel]

My drives are writting almost nothing while gaming.

[marsh glen]

are you on a NvME when you say SSD or a 2.5" Sata? cause an NvME you wouldn't notice the writes even before patch

[granite vessel]

Was experiencing it on the last patch

[granite yew]

yes< I beleive the issues still exists ... I can can only direct IP to our server , we turned the invite code back on to see if we can connect thru community servers and the it just restarts the game back to main menu.

[marsh glen]

yeah since the 4/30 patch I've seen all my servers and clients go to well within reasonable writes

[earnest cove]

Anyone knows how to fix the loading issue it keeps me loading to my world

[marsh glen]

if you're running direct ip connect invite will not work, it's one or the other

[smoky tulip]

I believe 2.5" sata... I'm not 100% sure, its a prebuilt pc and I don't really know computers very well

[marsh glen]

hmm.. and your game client, and the server you connect to are both running the latest builds?

[granite yew]

Yeah, I know... its either/ or but I am saying the invitecode /community connect servers issue is still there..

[marsh glen]

ah i see

[granite yew]

Thx for the response@marsh glen.. you have had greaat insight during this matter.

[smoky tulip]

Yes, it was all updated on the 30th.

[marsh glen]

tha's definitely new to me, dunno if Kringle's or any one else has some insight, but it might be worth opening a new thread to report it in https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1493364524705775657

[smoky tulip]

Will do, I'll wait till I'm home and on the game so I can get some screenshots

[inner orchid]

i beg they fix this fps drop with the frigate!! its unplayable!

[digital drift]

Yeah would likely be best to bug report that one, havent seen any large issues w/ it at scale (yet)

[mental locust]

how do I revert drivers

[granite vessel]

I don't know how to on windows I've been on linux for <10 years

[mental locust]

dam

[warm jasper]

So I am not sure what I did but I might have fixed my game, I'll play a diff one and hop back on in a bit and let you know if it's still good.

But basically I turned off cloud, deleted config file AND rocks DB v2 + backups, forcing it to make a new V2. When I logged in, it was my save from Sunday (before the update). Walked around a bit, logged out. Turned back on Cloud and used cloud save. When I got back in not only was I still at my Sunday save, I could fast travel to Tortuga TWICE and not crash, only had a slight load hiccup less than a second.

It gives me a chance to build a new Spanish looking base at the cove island which is cool. We'll see if I'm all fixed in a bit.

At least I didn't lose boss progress. That would have been nuts

Has anyone been able to use the dedicated docker from indiffrentbroccoli on Docker Desktop in Windows?

[swift parcel]

Ship Hull Customization Not Showing

Is this a bug, see enclosed picks.
From what i can see it is the correct ship and customization.

I did a clean instal of the game and steam and it still not populating correctly.

Any help would be great thank you!

[jaunty tide]

It should work, but the server will run much better if you run it natively, since you will remove the Wine translation layer and will have much better transfer speeds to the storage. Docker Desktop also eats 2 GB of RAM just by being started, since it's a virtual machine on Windows.

Haven't tried it, but there's a Windows app to manage the server that should make it easier.

[spice owl]

Hi, I am currently hosting a server for friends, right now Shared Quests is on, was thinking if I should turn off. The reason I am thinkin that is, does anyone know if someone completes a quest in an area on the map, if it is no longer available for anyone else that wasn't online at the time with "Shared Quests" turned on? Thanks in advanced. 🙂 PS, could we allow XP from killing stuff? Just a thought. Sorry if I am posting this in the wrong chat, I am new here.

[celest flame]

how do i fix this? ive been trying to pull my current saved file from a gportal server but when on solo it wont let me acces it, it will give me an outdated saved file

[marsh glen]

You will still be able to run the quests if you are not there when they get completed

[lime violet]

I will put it this way, the first quest to free the captives, my buddy did all of them, we started playing, got the quest, he finished, it finished for everyone. We didn't know where to go after that cuz all the markers went away. Hope that helps.

[marsh glen]

were you all on the server at the same time he completed?

[spice owl]

Okay, so if I am understanding this correctly, they get to the do the quests, but the "Location xp" wouldn't be their for them to get since it was already done by someone? E.G exploring an island and looting the chests at the areas on the map? Does that make sense?

[lime violet]

No

[rose gulch]

I moved my local save to a dedi with steamCMD, does anyone know what the defualt-value of WorldPresetType is?

And is there any advantage to opening porst and stuff instead of using uPnP?

[lime violet]

They still have to clear the locations and would get the XP.. But the flags, that show those locations would be gone, you would have to find them naturally.
They would get the XP for the quest

[vocal nacelle]

Can someone explain to me the SSD issue? How are the things looking? I've seen that devs have patched it already, but is it all good now?

[marsh glen]

To most, the writes are within normal parameters, some still don't like the amount of writes.

[quartz yoke]

+1 thanks for the guide on fixing the issue where a self hosted server was creating new worlds every time it started. That pin took me out of a lot of frusteration I was having.

[marsh glen]

this has not been the case for our players, other players have completed the questline with out some members, those members that missed still have the quest and markers and can complete and get XP / rewards

[vocal nacelle]

Are there any plans to further reduce the writes?

[lime violet]

Not if it's a shared quest and they are online. You have to disable shared to descibe what you are saying

[marsh glen]

again not in what we have seen

[jaunty tide]

Maybe this affects only some quests, but from my observations, shared progress only works for people in the quest area who actually engage with the objectives.

A friend ran away from naval combat two times, and we had to repeat the quests for him to complete them.

Dying also seems to break the shared progress: the one who dies must come back and engage before the quest is finished.

[marsh glen]

tha's a question for the devs

[spice owl]

Ooooooooooh, I see what you are saying. I am starting to see the pro's and cons of "Shared Quests" Hmmmm, sounds like it may be best to turn it off.

[lime violet]

Yes, if someone dies fighting a boss and that, they lose out on the progress.

[marsh glen]

this seems in line with what we've seen

[lime violet]

But killing the boss isn't a shared quest I don't believe.. just cuz you do it together, doesn't mean its shared..

[marsh glen]

"you have to be there" for shared completion otherwise you can run on your own

[lime violet]

Where do you see that, I don't agree

[marsh glen]

we've not seen missions disappeared from others completed, while not there.

[warm jasper]

came back from playing another game, infinite load screen again

dumb dumb dumb.

[lime violet]

what do you mean "while not there"

also, are you sure it was a "shared quest"

[marsh glen]

I don't know how to show you where, it's what I've personally seen in share vs non share quest states, as well as reported by our players.

As far as "you have to be there" it's exactly as #🚧│tech-support message describes. You complete as a group in the activity, actively interacting, or if you miss the completion, you can run it your self or with others again as long as someone hasn't completed and has the quest still active.

We have not seen "quests disappear"

[marsh glen]

my guy... are you trolling me?

[rose gulch]

Excuse me guys.

I installed SteamCMD and Windrose dedicated server, copied my save from my local %appdata%\local\R5\ bla bla rockdb folder and moved it into the dedicated Rockdbv2 folder (as there wwere no rockdb folder)

It seems like everything is there, but my fog on the map is back?

[lime violet]

asking clarifying questions isn't trolling.. Quests have multiple layers (various objectives) and sometimes only One of those layers is "Shared" It's not always the entire quest as a whole...

[marsh glen]

Check here and the conversation that follows #🚧│tech-support message

[jaunty tide]

you must edit ServerDescription.json, pointing WorldIslandId to the active world ID. It likely generated a new world and ignored the one you copied.
https://playwindrose.com/dedicated-server-guide/#wsg-serverdesc

[lime violet]

I was here for all that.. thanks for the refresher.

If you and another person on the server both have a quest task that says "Shared Quest" from my experience, if anyone completes it, it will complete for both of you as long as you are both on the server. You do not need to be in the "area" of the quest.

To clarify, you don't agree with that?

[rose gulch]

I think my issue is regarding the rockdb and rockdb2 folder, ill try whats mentioned above :d

[marsh glen]

From what we've seen and our players have reported, it's exactly as I referenced, you have to interact in some way, with the Yes "shared quest" state to receive credit for completion.

I'm now moving on from this internet measuring contest. You can find someone else to receive your snarky comments. I've put enough effort the last two days helping folks here.

[jaunty tide]

If there's only a RocksDB folder, the server will migrate it upon startup and create a RocksDB_v2 by itself. Just make sure the world ID is set up correctly. After you confirm it's working, you may delete RocksDB and leave only RocksDB_v2.

[rose gulch]

That worked, thank you!

Am I understanding it correctly that Windrose Plus is the best way to "manage" the server?

[marsh glen]

He's only got the Rocks_v2, he'll want to move it to a Rocks_DB, remove the _v2 and let the server process re migrate

as well as teh backup folders, but do make sure you've got copies / backups

[jaunty tide]

When it's not broken... yes. It prevented my server from starting the other day and removed backpack slots. Use it carefully, especially right after the game updates.

[marsh glen]

I'm not a fan of any mod requiring UE4SS right now. They seem highly unstable, and cause server stability issues a lot of the time. I just don't think they are "there" yet

[rose gulch]

Oh okay, I'll skip it then!

is there any way to set up an Message ofthe day and stuff, or is it mainly just for multipliers and stuff?

[jaunty tide]

Not natively. The server is very barebones atm

[rose gulch]

Alright, cheers - I am up and running!

Really appreciate the good help here! (=

[marsh glen]

https://tenor.com/view/cheers-toast-salute-here's-to-you-heres-to-you-gif-3182433711752800466

[lime violet]

Proof you don't "need to be there"
Chapo Santana and Ben both completed the Catastrophe's Aftermath.

Get rid of Jim Godart is a "Shared Quest"

You can see in Ben's map that quest location is in the top left, where the character currently is..

You can see in Chapo map, he has been no where near wher Ben currently is..

Yet, chapo has finished the quest..

[marsh glen]

ok, cool, you're highly invested more in this than I am. Congrats, you win!

[lime violet]

Thus... You only need to be on the server active if shared quests are enabled.

[marsh glen]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-hands-up-cute-baby-gif-1176594958446339986

[lime violet]

It's not about that, its about a person asked a question, and I am giving them the correct answer.
Sorry for communicating the correct information.

Do you often tell people the wrong thing, then give the person who is correcting you, with proof a hard time.. cuz thats pretty cringe..

[marsh glen]

well, because it works for me it must work for all, typically isn't' the end all be all. we've seen different. another user confirmed they've seen different. It might just be in the realm of possibility, both scenarios may just be right.

I mean, Early access and all, but hey, how could that be, never any weird stuff happening in EA... 🙄

[lime violet]

Mine works the literal way the developers described how shared quests work.. Take your own advise.

[marsh glen]

I'm sorry you've had / having a bad day, I hope it gets better.

[granite vessel]

This is way to heated for a tech support chat boys go touch some grass its not that deep.

[lime violet]

Having a great day, just think a tech support channel should be correct info.. not "how it works for me"

[marsh glen]

https://tenor.com/view/catpopo-gif-14363104828101683866

[lime violet]

yet, you would rather post memes.. in a tech support channel... lmfao

[rose gulch]

New question:

I copied from RockDB, but somehow the save is "earlier" then the newest one, and backup is also a day old. But "Steam_Autocloud.vdf" is edited yesterday at the correct time, is there anywhere else that I can find my save-file apart from %appdata%/local?

I exited the game normally, so it should have saved

[lime violet]

I KNOW THE ANSWER LMFAO

[rose gulch]

!?!?!

[lime violet]

copy the entire default folder!

[rose gulch]

Hol' up

[lime violet]

I literally asked the same thing 2 hours ago

[rose gulch]

Where is the default-folder? In my %appdata%\local, I have a random ID

[marsh glen]

drive up 3 level to the steamID folder

[lime violet]

earlier solution

you need to copy all 3 versions of the RocksDB Folders

[rose gulch]

Oh okay

Wait, was that for me Goonsly? lol

[lime violet]

Sorry, if that is local, the file structure looks a little different

[rose gulch]

I just figured, I can try to go in and force save the game and then transfer lol

[marsh glen]

it's not how the server files work

[split wagon]

Has anyone had some weird fps drop, whether its on a deserted island or at base? I'm using an old CPU so i've turned on frame gen. My fps randomly go from ~80 to about ~10 out of nowhere. Restarting the game fixes it, but thats a crap fix. Fast travelling doesn't really fix it either, but it goes away randomly too

[granite vessel]

Unreal Engine 5 moment

Happens on my 5070ti paried with a ryzen 9 9950x3d

Juust drops to around 40 from 80ish

[lime violet]

Did copying all 3 folders not work?

[rose gulch]

They are all last modified two days ago Goonsly, even thought I played 24 hours ago

[split wagon]

Weird. My friends haven't got the same issue though. There's 6 of us, im the only one. And it drops to 6fps before framegen lol

[quartz yoke]

Can confirm my i9-14900f with a 4070 super drops also.

[lime violet]

do any of them complain of banding or lag?

[quartz yoke]

Pretty rarely tho

[rose gulch]

oh hold on

[marsh glen]

backups only happen automatically when you shutdown / start the server, I can never remember which. if your local server has been running non stop that's why

[split wagon]

ohh i see what you mean. Old CPU screwing me, so instead of dropping to 40 it drops to 10 lol

[split wagon]

no, but could be my old CPU :/

[granite vessel]

Framgen lowers your base framte IE game running with higher latency and is using your system resources to gen those frames rather than render real ones. If I explained this poorly please look into cause you should never be using framgen.

[split wagon]

Ohhh

I'll look into that too

It just felt smoother

[lime violet]

okay, just asked cuz I get some like lag/banding when ship fighting, but that's the only time.

[quartz yoke]

But I just migrated my self hosted server to a different machine in my basement and it smoothed the rubber banding out for the 3-4 of us that play on it.

[jaunty tide]

The directory structure is a bit different on the server. That 765.. is your SteamID and won't be used on the server.

Since you mentioned you rolled back progress, I'm guessing your client already migrated the database to v2, and you must copy RocksDB_v2 from the client to R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/ on the server instead.

Remove any other RocksDB directories inside Default on the server, just in case.

As you have already set up ServerDescription.json, this should be enough.

[rose gulch]

I tried to copy all of them now, hold on, I'll get back to you! 😄

[nimble torrent]

Good day, I'd like to report a translation issue. It used to be called a plant merchant, and everything was basically fine. But now it's called a food merchant, and he also sells flax and some other inedible plants.

[lime violet]

I feel like this might belong in #1493348541177794601

[rose gulch]

This worked, once again - thank you SO much!

[cedar lava]

Hi.. New here. 🙂

I have a savegame that I can only host within the game. But previsouly, it did work on a dedicated server too.

Now, I cannot make it load the savegame regardless of what I try.

The server seems to load the world. But when trying to join it, it does not work.

If i wipe the save game and create a new world with the same json settings and a fresh worldid. It works fine and I can join it , no issues..

[marsh glen]

There's a reference guide in the pins, or check the conversation starting here #🚧│tech-support message

[stuck vale]

Hi, someone knows about it or just a fake news?

Hey guys, you find the absolute fix for the "server creates new world on restart, and doesn't load the uploaded world" yet?

I learned how to absolutely fix it

[fallen verge]

anyone having issues with WorldDescription.json on dedicated server reseting to default values when server starts ?

[quartz yoke]

#🚧│tech-support message

See this pin

[marsh glen]

This method also works server side only #🚧│tech-support message

[granite vessel]

Are you using a docker container to run the server?

[fallen verge]

no, bare windows machine

its a brand new server, i only have RockDB2_v2 folder https://gyazo.com/41ccc7b878fabee3d2217be4a95e0af5

and even using the presets that come inside the DedicatedServer.md or whatever preset or custom setting i use, it always reset to Medium on server start https://gyazo.com/f1287da8fed05de3f52fb3a456bfeade

islandID its matching the ServerDescription.json

Hi guys, I have a problem. I bought a dedicated server. I wanted to transfer my saves to the path C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles but I can't find the saves updated to today's date.

[marsh glen]

Read into the conversation starting just before here #🚧│tech-support message Specifically what Kringle says

[marsh glen]

Dedi server are different pathings check the pin the last 4 steps will pertain to what you want

[west echo]

I'm not talking about the dedicated saves, I'm talking about the local saves that I want to transfer to the dedicated but they are not updated

[marsh glen]

wait... Just noticed you're asking about your saves.

Are you looking for your backups?

The world folders are your world saves. they are further down in the sub directories

[west echo]

yes that path I have files updated to day 4 even if I started the game today

[somber canyon]

I still cant get the server to read any changes to the file in regards to difficulty it very stubbornly resets to medium regardless of what I do

[marsh glen]

yeah, the pin will be a good reference for what you want, you're just not drilling into the folders deep enough

[fallen verge]

Oh ok, its a known bug and theres a workaround, i guess we can expect a fix on a update soon

[granite vessel]

Ah I was drawin blanks on that hope that gets fixed soon

[west echo]

even when digging the date reported is always the 4th

[velvet turtle]

Can anyone help me figure out why i cant get into my solo gameplay but can join online servers

[granite vessel]

I think this should go here #1493348541177794601

[marsh glen]

this was running as a local Steam server, correct?

and are you look in the worlds folder at the actual files, or are you goin by the dates on the folder?

[west echo]

yes I'm looking for local files in offline mode on steam

I think the date should update if the save is updated, right?+

[marsh glen]

folder dates in windows do not always reflect the last updated dates of the files within them. take a look at the actual files inside your worlds folder

a lot of the times, folder dates are the date created, not last updated

[west echo]

found you're a genius

hello all, i host a game for my wife and myself. up until today everything has been great. but now whenever she tries to connect to my hosted world "application has hung and will be closed" comes up and crashes the game. i was able to get her connected twice but after about 10 minutes she crashed, then the second time i crashed. is there a known issue for this and is there a fix?

[subtle thistle]

linux?

[median raptor]

Windows 11

both machines

[subtle thistle]

check and make sure both your game version are correct and that the ip match as well with the open port

<@&1354821664998817822> spam?

[median raptor]

games are same versions, verified game files on both machines, just using invite code

[marsh glen]

auto mod to the rescue

[subtle thistle]

yeah sometimes its slow

[subtle thistle]

direct ip?

[median raptor]

we've played like this fine for 50 hours

[subtle thistle]

is it direct ip or invite code?

[marsh glen]

it could be the proxy server used for Invite code connections, they have been unstble lately.

[subtle thistle]

also doesnt mean your isp has not blocked that port

[marsh glen]

hes' using invite code

[median raptor]

invite code

[subtle thistle]

i would try direct ip then

[marsh glen]

can u test setting direct IP, should be easy since you're on the same lan ( I assume)

[subtle thistle]

i made a script for all of that

[median raptor]

yeah we are

[marsh glen]

yeah I'd set direct IP for now

[median raptor]

so dumb question, how do i find the ip to give to her to connect?

i have ipconfig open right now

[marsh glen]

just note that if you want to go back to Invite code, (b/c direct IP does not save recents) you will have to undo it, it's one or the other

Just ipconfig in terminal on the host machine

[subtle thistle]

your ip and then port 7777

[marsh glen]

that's machine will be the IP the other will connect to, also make sure to turn on direct IP in the ServerDescription.json file

[subtle thistle]

https://github.com/1r0nch3f/Windrose-Captain-Chest

the captain signal script will do it all for ya

ok back to work

[autumn oxide]

god I would kill for a exit to desktop menu option....

i keep exiting and then finding myself sitting at menu screen for the next 24 hours...lol

[warm jasper]

Now I'm trying to just play it with no cloud sync that seems to be helping me. We'll see.

[median raptor]

direct connection didnt work either, she started to load then sent back to main menu, it is enabled in the json file

[marsh glen]

are you able to watch the server log as she is trying to connect? It should open as a cmd window if you're starting via the batch file. not sure if you can see it if you launch the server via steam

[median raptor]

its a local host

[marsh glen]

so you launch via steam right?

[median raptor]

non-dedicated

[marsh glen]

you launch via steam right, the server I mean?

[fleet mulch]

need help, i had bug free experience up to level 15 character, i unlocked everything , and it seems after the latest patch, my game won't load my save, i get stuck on an infinite loading screen that ends with a error that says application has hung, any fixes?

[median raptor]

in game, when i click play i then click host game

[marsh glen]

ah ok

can you post your contents of ServerDescription.json

Just blank out/redact the invite code if you want to keep that secret

screen shot will work

This will be in your Steam directory where the game is installed:

\\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Windrose\R5

[manic mulch]

well since update even puting the correct world folder code - it still keeps makeing worlds lol..

[marsh glen]

check teh pined guide

[marsh glen]

ok this looks fine

[fleet mulch]

am i the only one who got a savefile issue fron their patch fixing save files? what is going on

or atleast the loading screen of death

[manic mulch]

And set "WorldIslandId": "04A4F36F41134855B3AD6FFA08FD11A1" to match the ID of your uploaded save (It's the folder name).,
Start your server. this is what i have done it still changes lol

[marsh glen]

did you great the whole thing, or just quote me an excerpt

[marsh glen]

when she connectes, she puts in your LAN IP and the port right?

[median raptor]

public ip and port

[marsh glen]

what do you mean public ip?

[median raptor]

only tried that way once though

[marsh glen]

your gateway IP?

you want to have her use the IP on your LAN to yur machine that is hosting, no reason to go out the gateway

[median raptor]

where do i find that?

[manic mulch]

yep it keeps changeing it in the json file anyway

[marsh glen]

open a command window
