I think i'm figuring out my problem (5070ti NVIDIA). The game has an absolute fit when I try to log in using DLAA and/or FrameGen settings. Spits it out. However, with no file reconstruction I am able to load in using a balanced preset and no FrameGen.

Other games use these settings fine. I'll continue to monitor but my issue might be resolved for the moment until devs optimize better.

What's odd is, a blank world I can load in using those max settings. My world, I guess because it has to load textures of items, it doesn't like to do that unless settings are reduced.

Having a lower DLSS ALSO helps fast traveling to Tortuga

[marsh glen]

it's not really a dev issue, It's UE5 issue. Check out Jay's 2 Cents recent video on the game, he breaks it down pretty good.

But yeah, running DLAA on anything less than a 4090 / 5090, is asking for punishment in UE5

[warm jasper]

So 5070ti + DLAA is bad no matter what?

I guess that's okay. I don't want to spend $3000 on a GPU

I did see that video I just didn't get all way through it

The caps was crazy

I did see that. I assumed when I said "no matter what" it was relevant specifically to UE5 BUT, I wasn't super clear and I apologize

[marsh glen]

It's called playing a game.. i just tabbed out..

[marsh glen]

My comment was specific to UE5

DLAA is a tough push even on top tier GPUs.

[warm jasper]

I suppose

I can do DLAA on Warframe and it comes out good. But, different engine

[marsh glen]

UE5 is one of the most unfriendly game engines to GPU resources there has ever been.

[fathom hornet]

where can i finde alote of snow or boars ?

[marsh glen]

snow?

[fathom hornet]

Can I search for animal fats other than pork fats?

[marsh glen]

near the starting area there are the buccaneer forts they are heavily populated with boars

[warm jasper]

I may not understand. When I'm ingame the VRAM I am using is 10-11GB out of 16. I would assume that's enough to run DLAA no problem. The temps also don't pass 70C. Shoot I can even enable DLAA after login and it's not a problem (unless going to Tortuga).

I do actually think the issues are a mix of Quality + frame Gen.

That's the next thing they gotta tackle.

[marsh glen]

I'm not sure you understand what exactly DLAA does, and how taxing it is on the GPU. It's not only about video memory.

UE5 as a whole is a very taxing game engine on a GPU, when you throw the upscaling of DLAA on top of that, even the most high-end cards bleed. It's the main reason you have people coming in saying "I'm running a super computer, I should be able to run any settings I want and get a bazillion frames per second" .. it's just not how it works.

In all honestly, medium settings in this game is it's sweet spot, you literally lose almost ZERO visual fidelity as apposed to going to higher settings. I'm running a 7800x3D / 64GB DDR5 6000Mhz CAS28 / 4090 / NvME's in RAID 0 I'm running all medium settings (except for Shader Quality, and View Distance both to High). I never drop below 120 FPS, and the game is gorgeous. My upscaler is set to Performance.

Could I run the game maxed out with DLAA and still get 100+ FPS, sure,... But why?

[warm jasper]

1440p or 1080p? The performance preset isn't my favorite.

[marsh glen]

1440

[warm jasper]

OK

Well I'm happy to adjust.

[marsh glen]

at lower res you can push harder you have more head room, but again .. .why

oh post processing is set to low

b/c motion blur and bloom suck

[warm jasper]

I did reduce those

[marsh glen]

it's part of post processing too

[frozen echo]

the problem is as far as ican see not tortuga itself because quicktraveling to a different place caused me a freeze aswell. so what i think is that the code gets in a loop while loading the next scene (tortuga) or that it just stumble at some point by loading some segnificant data and freeze there because there is no backup in the code. if u wait long enough u should get a window with a message with sth like "sorry we detected a problem" thats the backup wich comes usually waay to late. it crashed my loading completely once but got it fixed. [ rtx 5070 / i9-14900HX / 32gb Ram ]

[warm jasper]

I think I've crashed once going to Brethren main base, and the others have been Tortuga.

Always on higher settings too. Which at advice I've taken down some.

[frozen echo]

ive let the game decide the settings and changed just some of them to max again. works totally fine since then .. so idk what exactly causes the problem.

[warm jasper]

I might try that. Auto setting?

Loading into the game no issues?

[frozen echo]

yes

[warm jasper]

1440p?

[frozen echo]

2560x1440 yes

but that depends on your screen

not on the game itself. the only way this would cause an issue is that the game cant render the picture on your screen but that shouldnt cause freezes. just a wrong view on the screen

[warm jasper]

I have a 3440x1440p

Widescreen. No way that's the issue right?

[marsh glen]

no

[frozen echo]

like i say that should max give a weird outcome like to big or to small but not a whole game freeze. for me i couldnt even open the task manager at that point. i allways had to hard shutdown my pc.

[warm jasper]

Were you playing full-screen?

I found borderless window let me close without hard reboot

[frozen echo]

yes fullscreen and copy on second screen

works fine

[jovial hatch]

Hi there, any error log or message if i start up and went into black screen? tried update display driver and re-install but still black screen.

[frozen echo]

how much playtime

[jovial hatch]

32.7, it work a week ago. but after few update and start it keep in black screen issue

[frozen echo]

and black screen after starting the game or trying to enter your world ?

[jovial hatch]

just start not even load into menu

[frozen echo]

sounds like corrupted files .. i mean 32 hrs is not to harmful i guess. my suggestion would be to delete all savefiles and try restart. but thats how i see it maybe someone have a better solution

[jovial hatch]

TY, let me try to do some backup first if i got no other method.

[sleek storm]

what gpu are u

[zenith quest]

this might be a game support thing but did a recent update make cloud syncs take a while or did something happen on steam's side?

[warm jasper]

Cloud sync is not fully fixed

[daring walrus]

Is anyone else experiencing crashing with a loss of inventory

[zenith quest]

never lost items but did have crashing issue, validating and gpu driver updates files fixed it

[iron shore]

Game has crashed twice now :/ Lost almost 3k worth of coins. We were so close to getting that ship 😢

[daring walrus]

I am so heartbroken for you

[zenith quest]

just to rub it in a bit the frigate is so worth it

[iron shore]

Thank you for your heartache! I'll get back into the game. Hopefully verifying files work! But I need a little break because that broke me.

[zenith quest]

but for lost items and stuff you could check out mods, wemod might have something for dropping items so you can get your coins back

[dense plaza]

Anyone else host a game that just stops and kicks everyone out to main menu? It's happened three times to me tonight 🙁

oop. didn't mean for that to be a reply. my bad

[lone sapphire]

Hi, I am getting constant crashes. Running a 3070Ti. There is no error message anymore. I was getting 'Fatal Error' but now it just crashes and says nothing when it does. It's also forced restart on my computer several times.

[hushed egret]

I purchased a server and am playing with a friend, but a bug is occurring where items are not being transferred to the last friend to log in, and they are not appearing in their inventory. Is this a server issue?

used translate.

[blazing rose]

Hello me and my friends are playing from India but we are not able connect to a proper server with less ping can anyone please help us on this?

[jovial hatch]

[tropic ore]

Hi good day I cant seem to host a game, it directed back to the home page wth ply button

[jovial hatch]

Thanks just tried but still in black screen

[sleek storm]

send me ur logs ill check it out

[iron shore]

So according to the bf. Every time i crash, it's because of an out of memory error. But I should have plenty for the game and have no issues in any other game. So idk what is going in with that. Does the game have a bad memory leak issue?

Was finding it in the event log on the computer. Sorry idk computers and trying to remember what he told me.

[jovial hatch]

Thanks sir

[sleek storm]

delete folders from \AppData\Local\R5\Saved
configs folder
also in steam launch options try doing -d3d11 or -dx11

lmk if these works for u

also do u have any mods installed

[jovial hatch]

guess not just seem that method and try but ran into crash when start

i canceled it but also keep just in black screen when start

both i tried remove whole %localappdata%\R5 but same

[sleek storm]

have u done the launched options

and do u have mods installed

[lime topaz]

The game does not support DX11 at all.

[sleek storm]

u can force d11

[lime topaz]

Go ahead and try it brother.

[jovial hatch]

no any mod, and also clear launched option

[lime topaz]

Will it sit on the blackscreen endlessly or will it eventually crash if you let it ?

Also -noborder is a commandline switch for Source engine, so it won't do anything in Unreal.

[jovial hatch]

blackscreen endlessly no any sound or any crash happen
Mouse went disappear around 30sec when i start

[elder garden]

Is there any way to change the frequency that backups happen on a dedicated server?

[river thorn]

Hey everyone, hello. I've run into this problem: "The connection service you selected is unavailable."

Let me explain everything in detail so that several possible solutions are ruled out right away. I have 2 PCs in my household connected to the same network. The secondary PC has a connection, but the main PC does not.

I've tried a ton of things: enabling/disabling DPI, enabling/disabling VPN, enabling/disabling TUN/PROXY, disabling Windows Firewall, clearing network cache and DNS, connecting to an alternate DNS (Cloudflare 1.1.1.1/1.0.0.1), and editing the ServerDescription.json file.

So yeah, the problem still isn't solved.

The only discrepancy I noticed was when I changed the ServerDescription file to "false," I decided to check on the other PC that actually has a working network connection (using the same file). That file was from an outdated version of the game and had many more entries — not like on my main PC. I decided to copy that file (to replicate it) — the problem wasn't solved.

I've been racking my brain for two days.

I'd appreciate any understanding and a fix for this issue.

[potent patio]

hello, I was monitoring my self host server consol and I notice something strange, every few minutes this chain of command would pop up, and I'm not really sure what it's referring to, either a pining issue or something else? (the game runs normally and R5 status are fine, it's just that only this was repeating itself)
Does anyone know what this mean?

[manic peak]

Hello! Can i get some help about server settings, i try as hard as i get to change server settings etc. but it keeps reverting them back to normal state? any step by step help would be awesome! and i have tried so many times already all the hints&tips that i can find

[fallow horizon]

ANYONE GOT A FIX: me and my friend was playing on my hosted server and now all of a sudden he cant join and when he tries it kicks me back to main menu.

[timber root]

Okay, i did something stupid, I know. I was tired of trying to gather enough wood and stone (since we are just in build mode at this point) so i installed Vortex and some mods to increase the gather rate. installed them for solo only, gathered mats, then loaded into my Nitrado server and played for a couple hours. Logged out and all was fine.

Today I tried loading into my server and it keeps either kicking me back to the main menu or out of the game all together. I can load into solo games without issue.

I uninstalled vortex, the game, steam, restarted, reinstalled, turned off cloud saves, turned them back on. Did the deleted saved profiles, etc...

Any thoughts on how I can get back in? I am jonesing to build more... Oh, the other thing is my buddy can load and play in the server without issue.

[ancient vault]

I and 2 friend were playing game and suddenly it went to loading screen. we tried 3 more times and same result. Whever one particular friend is joining the server game goes loading for all of us and his game is crashing. Need help we are unable to play

[timber root]

I reset my modem and router and that resolved it.

[hot dust]

Hi guys, can someone help me? I haven’t played for a week, and now I launched my game again and my character is gone. It’s asking me to create a new one. What should I do please?

salut les gas quelqu'un pour m'aider ? ca fait une semaine j'ai pas jouer et la j'ai relancer mon jeu et je n'ai plus mon perso ca me propose de créé un autre comment faire s'il vous plait

[hoary stag]

I'm using a nitrado server, does anyone know why the difficulty setting keeps getting unlocked

[thin adder]

hey yall, issue here, when hosting my dedicated server I am trying to port my current multiplayer server over, and when I update the description of my world ID in the json, when i start the server it overwrites my save and makes a new one

[heavy jetty]

Can somenone help me with my saved world. It wont load an crashes when loading. Replacing with backup didnt work for me

[vestal flare]

Hello! I have a small issue and i require some assistance. I recently joined a server in which the host had added some mods. Specifically mods that add extra talent points. Thinking that this would apply only to his server o added the extra points to my character. After that my game client freezes every time i try to join my own map solo/offline with that character. I can still join my friend's map. I tried to reset the talent points, renaming config files on R5 folder and restoring previous backups on RocksDB and each time i had the same results. When i try to join my map solo the game just freezes on loading screen. When i try to host my map, after a while i return to main menu. I also tried to add those mods to my account but the game makes my pc to crush and shutdown on the unreal engine logo screen each time with the ~mods folder present on R5 folder. Did i loose the ability to play with that character solo?

[mighty mauve]

why can I not connect to my own server? Bisect Hosting - it was worse on nitrado

[shrewd kite]

no

[charred vale]

My game keeps freezing right here on the loading screen. What can I do to get it working again? Can anyone help me out? I hope this is the right place.

[digital drift]

Would req giving our team a holler! Quite a few random things can cause this, so always helps to have backend eyes 🙂

https://bisecthosting.com/support <<

[spice imp]

why does my server when i try to host put me back in main menu
?

[thin adder]

anyone able to help? i cant figure it out for the life of me

[warm jasper]

You need to delete config file. Then, once your game settings are reset, don't use above Balanced or Quality DLSS preset. Game is having a hell of a time loading using anything more than that rn.

Interestingly, you can APPLY DLAA after loading into the game, and it might load a little slower but it works generally fine. It just is allergic to loading it up in the first place, UNLESS it's an empty world where there's no objects to render nearby.

[sweet cedar]

having the same issue

[proud rune]

any server issue when we host the game and try to join? i havent seen any annoucements or updates

[hushed egret]

I think, hosting server has some problem. so, all multi-player can not play the game.

but dedicated server is working well.

[proud rune]

guess we have to wait

[wise bloom]

Was having the problem, switched from EU & NA to SEA and it worked...

[spice imp]

alr bet

[sweet cedar]

i tried that but it just loaded forever

someone in player help says its a cloud save issue and mentioned the pins in this channel

[wise bloom]

I'm on a 14 year old machine so mine always takes forever lol

[iron shore]

Trying to load into a world that was working perfectly fine last night. Now it loads for a moment and then sends me right back to main menu

[outer tusk]

Servers not working for me either

[warm steeple]

same here

[iron shore]

Is game just down for online play atm?

[alpine pewter]

Just bought a server and tried loading my local game into it, but for some reason it just starts a new or even 5 new worlds on Nitrado

[sweet cedar]

tried the fix mentioned in pins and it did not work

[iron shore]

Seems like NA/EU just down currently

[spice imp]

yea but it keeps doing it

[red loom]

Is it just me or can no one load into a server?

[knotty wolf]

Same problem here

[red loom]

it kicks me back to the log in screen with no error

[spice imp]

yea same

[thorn solar]

i swapped to another one and now im fine friend can join me too was having the same issue

[glacial tundra]

Seems like every other day we can't sign into our friends server. Down all the time.

[clever dune]

Is anyone else experiencing issuings hosting singeplayer games so friends can join?

[normal shell]

yeah I cant seem to get my game to open, starts loading and just puts me back into the start menu

[glacial tundra]

Had my buddy reset the server. Able to log in

[fallow dagger]

my game just keeps sending me back to the menu

[clever dune]

Server or hosted singleplayer? or by "server" do you mean internet?

[upper escarp]

im getting endless loading screens when i try to join a friends world but i can join my own worlds just fine, this started yesterday and tried to fix it for 3-4hrs then gived up, i tried again this morning and still no luck any idea why this is happening all of a sudden?

[rare cedar]

I'm also having the same problem. I can not host a game from EU / NA, I can only play single player. Normally I host so my family can play together. I can host and fully load in using SIC but it is too laggy.

[prisma canyon]

Same here ^

[potent steppe]

Anyone encountered weird cpu usage? Updated my drivers today to most recent and now im at 100% cpu usage in menus constantly instead of the 15-30% ingame i had before

Fully deleted and redownloaded drivers but my wifi is terrible so taking ages

[opaque magnet]

Anyone have problems with "WorldDescription" resetting every time you start dedicated server? Happens on server running on my pc as well as on host sites.

[marsh glen]

Short answer yes, you've lost that character on any server not running xp mods.

The mod clearly states in the description it will likely corrupt/make player saves unrecoverable.

[still gust]

Hi. I'm trying to upload a world hosted on local pc to a dedicated server. I have followed multiple guides and instructions to no avail.

The world is uploading, but its an earlier version than the latest version. The world loading on dedicated server is a few days old. the current local world has more buildings in it. I dont know what I am doing wrong

I tried copying only the world. only only rockdb, rockdbv2

i noticed compared to videos game is 0.10.0?

[wise mason]

Im having the exact same problem where I am trying to move my dedicated server over to local. I now dont see it in the server list.

[marsh glen]

@still gust @wise mason Look at the pinned guide, its a good reference point for what you both wish to do.

[wise mason]

Okay will start there, thank you

[still gust]

i tried it keeps going back to older version

as in not changing

but the world loading is of a few days ago

[wise mason]

Amazing, that guide fixed it for me. thank you

[still gust]

what did you do exactly?

[wise mason]

I followed the guide exactly, but I made sure to copy those folders over into my local folders and replace existing stuff - rather than delete the folders and copy the server ones

I guess you could do the opposite

[crude lily]

Hi guys, anyone can help with world transfer files?
I want to get the world that me and my friend played in and change its host to my host, but we are stuck and dont know how to transfer the files over to my save.

Can anyone guide me clearly?

[cedar mist]

Just got booted out two different dedicated servers

[wise mason]

Look at the pinned guide, its a good reference point for what you want to achieve

[little sierra]

Hi

[pine oyster]

How would I go about moving my dedicated server world save to my local game saves? I've moved the actual world folder already, but when I launch the game it doesn't populate within the list of my local saves

(I'm essentially wanting to do the opposite of what most people are doing)

[pine oyster]

My king 🙂

[manic mulch]

Needs rockdb and rockdbv2 and needs same world in each worlds folder

[naive trellis]

I need to know how to fiind out what item is F2D5C1941C6D471F7E8DEA1966AB8353

2026.05.09-22.29.07:191][314]R5LogBLBiz: [196314] R5BLBuildingBlock_ConstructRule::Do_Impl Construct BuildingBlock 63086 from building F2D5C1941C6D471F7E8DEA1966AB8353 [D:\Source\Build\work\gameRepoCheckoutDir\Plugins\R5BusinessRules\Source\R5BusinessRules\Cpp\R5Rules\Building\Rules\R5BLBuildingBlock_ConstructRule.r5bl.cpp:49]

I keep getting this error. What is Causing this or is there a way I can find out?

[clever dune]

Is singleplayer hosting still not working?

[sage barn]

Im not an expert but that looks very similar to the leading strings in the various save files

chunks?

[little sierra]

I can play solo, and play with “host server”, but when I try to join a server it keeps loading forever. Anyone know what’s might cause this?

[sage barn]

I wonder what would happen if you did a file search in your world folder for F2D5C1941C6D471F7E8DEA1966AB8353 with search file contents enabled.

One of the "chunk" files might be corrupt

[opal cargo]

Loaded up my game today, cant pick anything up.
Move Item into backpack = disappears
Hit take all on any storage = disappears
Joined another world with same character = Same result

Characters bugged and cant pick up anything.

[marsh glen]

That is a world / Account / Players folder identifier.

[trail vale]

It makes zero sense to call to Russian or any foreign nation for invite codes to work. I noticed that I lost access to my server, which sits right next to me, earlier this week. They really need to fix this.

[sage barn]

It probably has to travel through a server somewhere

[trail vale]

Oh it does but why do I have to connect to Russia lol

[marsh glen]

if you are using invite codes, that system relies on proxy server for inital connection. Where you put the invite code in the box in game, hover your mouse over the "?"

[trail vale]

I can enable direct IP, but not a fan

I am a Network Engineer by trade and block Russia and other "bad" countries. No clue why my proxy server would be all the way in Russia

[marsh glen]

its' not your proxy server, it's Kraken Expresses. you are not at liberty to pick where the devs proxy servers are hosted.

Not saying I agree with it, just how it is

[trail vale]

I know its not my proxy, its Kraken Expresses. Just something I think they need to address

[marsh glen]

If you run direct IP you can block all outbound traffic and it does no harm. The out of country calls, even under direct IP I have found are calls still to the "listening" invite code proxy server. I'm pretty sure there will be a way to turn this off in the future.

[trail vale]

Can you do invite code and direct IP at the same time?

[marsh glen]

sadly no

at lest not yet

[trail vale]

Oof

[lost egret]

Hy everyone, the RocksDB folder only contains a single file called "steam_autocloud.vdf", it doesnt contain my world, only the RocksDB_v2 does, now when importing my world to the server i bought, none of the structures or fast travel points are present, anybody got a clue?

[marsh glen]

once they add Direct IP connection history, I personally see no need for invite codes.

[trail vale]

Only reason I like invite code is no inbound NAT is needed

So if my game server lives behind a GNAT I can still host without issue

[marsh glen]

Start with the conversation from Kringle here #🚧│tech-support message

[marsh glen]

yeah, this is true, tho you're still allowing punch through with invite codes, so technically it IS still a vulnerability

[trail vale]

Catch22 scenario lol

[marsh glen]

tho it's limited to the conecting server

[trail vale]

My game server lives behind a seperate firewall on a seperate ISP. unfortunately this ISP is GNAT so I do not have a routable public IP.

[marsh glen]

ah ic

[trail vale]

I may go down the tailscale route and route from my VPS to the game server.

[marsh glen]

hope the latency doesn't kill you 🙃

[trail vale]

probably will add latency but what ever lol

[lusty estuary]

whats the general sentiment on self hosting a dedicated windrose server?

[marsh glen]

It's early access, nothing is garneted. I run 7 different self hosted in my own data center, haven't had any issues yet.
(Well I should say rage inducing issues)

IMO self hosted is the way to go, but know there's a difference between "playing" server admin, and being a server admin

[lusty estuary]

i run other servers, and in terms of being admin its just me and my friends lol

can i dm you regarding your setup? i'm curious as to your datacenter

[marsh glen]

If you have basic administrative skill, and a good grasp on file structure / backup / and manipulation, it's basic

[trail vale]

@marsh glen are you running it on Windows or using Wine?

[marsh glen]

I prefer not to support through DM, you can ask your questions here, so that others may (hopefully) be able to search if they have the same question.

I say hopefully cause few know how to..

[marsh glen]

I have 3 Windows VM's of various verison OS's, and 4 in dockers (2 through unraid), using WINE v10 +

[lusty estuary]

ahh of course, i just have a homelab of my own and was more curious about your hardware than support

i'm going to do a server 2019 vm because that should just minimize the headaches as opposed to a WINE run

can the server be multithreaded?

[trail vale]

I'm running a Epyc 7302p and 128GB of DDR4. These servers are very memory hungry.

[marsh glen]

the best I can tell you as with most game servers, windroseserver-win64-shipping.exe is VERY hungry for processor power. the more Ghz you can throw at it the better esp when player counts start to rise

[trail vale]

if running the server in a VM and using proxmox, make sure you passhthrough CPU type.

[marsh glen]

that's different from my usage, the RAM seems to more tolerable. you don't want to skimp on it, but it's definitely not eating up as much as I would expect

[trail vale]

I have 5 players and my CPU usage is only 5-10% where the memory is 10GB out of 24GB allocated.

[marsh glen]

are you players build a crap ton of stuff?

I can see the entity count eating up ram

[lusty estuary]

of course i have an Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2643 v3 @ 3.40GHz and 12 gigs of ddr4 to throw at it

[lusty estuary]

yes

[trail vale]

16GB is the recommend minimum

[marsh glen]

that should be ok if you keep your player count low, like 4 max

[lusty estuary]

oh?

yeah its me and 2 others

[marsh glen]

and tell them not to go insanely crazy with building EVERYWHERE

[lusty estuary]

aye

i have up to 32 gigs i can throw at it

so i'm not super worried, i can always increase later

[marsh glen]

I would prolly recommend the 32 to be safe

[trail vale]

@lusty estuary is it virtualized?

[lusty estuary]

i think i'll start with 12 then try 24 and then 32

[lusty estuary]

yeah proxmox

[trail vale]

Sammmeee

[lusty estuary]

its all on a dell r430 lol

proxmox ftw

[trail vale]

Fans go BRrrrrrrr

[marsh glen]

Proxmox is very good at handling memory allocation, I'm prtty sure your sweet spot will be 12-16GB

[lusty estuary]

yeah

[lusty estuary]

very brr, i have a bunk bed and the server takes top bunk

[trail vale]

I use to be Dell second hand gear, but I started building my own servers.

[lusty estuary]

90$ a month white noise machine

[lusty estuary]

ooh nice

[trail vale]

So far I 3 AMD Epyc builds

sitting on a gold mine of DDR4 memory

[marsh glen]

I've got a bunch of R900 series and various others in my racks, as well as a few I made back when facebook unloaded their datacenters for upgrades

[lusty estuary]

lucky, i only caught the tail end of it

remember when ddr4 was roughly $1/G

[marsh glen]

DDR ECC at that 🙃

we bought terabytes of it

[lusty estuary]

lucky

[trail vale]

Do you run these servers for a hosting buiness or just using extras resources?

[lusty estuary]

i run it just for friends and as a backup and cloud solution for myself

maybe a little media server on the side

[marsh glen]

I own a business to business I.T. consultation company, our data center is mainly used for the business hosting / data center (hosted could/backup/etc) and some mixed use, some personal for me, etc..

[trail vale]

Very nice. that's the dream! I am a stuck induvial contributor lol

[marsh glen]

I got a 120TB plex server fully automated in unRaid with sonarr/Radarr/ other arrs ...
It's my pride and joy lol

[trail vale]

I just cherry pick what I want from private trackers.

[marsh glen]

I like braggin to friends I'll one day soon have a copy of every "good" movie and series ever made lmao

ngl ... I'm pretty close

[trail vale]

are you Usenet?

[marsh glen]

nah, just torrent and trackers. I'm in no hurry, esp with sonarr and radarr auto updating to better quality releases

[lusty estuary]

nice, but yall lets ironically not openly discuss media piracy in a game server

[marsh glen]

dunno what ur talking about I own copys of all my media, plex is just a backup

[lusty estuary]

but sounds dope af

[trail vale]

same

[lusty estuary]

same

@marsh glen Sent you a friend request. Might have to pick your brain on the whole B2B Consulting.

if you don't mind

[round thunder]

Any idea why?

[marsh glen]

Running mods?

[round thunder]

only 1 mod.. but was running fine for a while

[marsh glen]

What mod?

[round thunder]

just a stack size increase

[eternal atlas]

Is it common for Survival Servers to drop 1 or 2 times a night, it is usually unconnectable for 5 min... try to determine if I should open up a ticket with them...

[little sierra]

how long does it usually take to load when you try to connect to dedicated server?

[fallen cliff]

My game is suddenly jumpy.. stuttering like while at sea.. is this a new bug? Or could there be something wrong

[little sierra]

is anyone actually playing this game on a mac?

[warm jasper]

Loading in new tiles. What upscaler are you using? I noticed this too. I'm now thinking it's a balance of Windows slop update, NVIDIA slop update, and the game being early access (least at fault)

[fallen cliff]

Upscaler?

[lone star]

Im having issues with the game keeps crashing i am playing on steam deck and I have the lowest settings possible and it still keeps occurring when I first bought the game i had no issues, then when the update came out that caused everyone problems ive had nothing but issues since then

[oblique beacon]

I'm trying to play with my friend, but we're having server issues... when one joins the others server the non-host can do like one thing before both players freeze relative to one another... both of us have decent wifi so we don't know what's wrong, but it's the same regardless who hosts

[warm jasper]

Do you have dlss enabled

[languid river]

When trying to join my wifes server on the same network it kicks us both off back to menu, but i can join the dedicated server i paid for no problem, why

[still gust]

is it 🙁

I dont understand? This is just copy RocksDBv2 and rename it to RocksDB?

I tried all pinned stuff and world keeps loading is a week old. Its not loading the latest
its also not loading fog of war progression

[wraith sage]

Is there a way to change the backup frequency on my self hosted server, everytime it backs up my server lags out

It backs up every 15 minutes

[frosty perch]

helo guys im trying to promote a community and a windrose dedicated server we have running. im trying tru modmail but have the feeling im doing stuff wrong XD

is it alowed to ask in general chats if ppl wanne join or not ?

[shut lava]

gretings Default map still loading even if I did copy paste the good island ID on my server

[wise yew]

hey everyone... I'm playing the game with some friends but the guy who started the server is on the weakest pc.

So I'd like to copy his world over to my pc and start the world instead.

--

I found the DedicatedServer.md and followed the guide after I copied the world document, but the document doesn't seem to get accepted.
I also tried to copy it to %localappdata%\R5 but it won't appear in my world list.

Any hints to guide me into the right direction?

Edit: Nevermind. I copied the Backup to the backup folder and started the game, which correctly loaded the world

[trim fog]

Anyone solve the infinite loading screen thing? Would love to play this game again instead of looking at the word "LOADING"?

[shut lava]

No sorry BIBS

[shut lava]

Glad it worked for you me it did not work at ALL!

I did EVERY DAMN THING!

Not normal

[trim fog]

i got a workaround from someone in this discord but its annoying, you make a lvl 1 character do the tutorial then load into your world then leave and the join with your character and it works but you have to do that every time you open the game. (not recreate the character but load into the world with the lvl 1 character)

[shut lava]

thats weird

[obtuse rose]

@still trail the xvfb works perfect thank you. I’m wondering if there is a “safer” way to shut down the server if necessary than simply cntrl+c?

[trim fog]

well at least i can play my world and character again. Annoying as it is or weird.

[still gust]

Does it make sense for a world uploaded to a dedicated server be 1 week old?

[shut lava]

Yes

As the beta game was released on the begining of april

[still trail]

ctrl-c sends a SIGINT, which is a 'polite kill,' the program can handle it, it doesn't force it closed, you're just saying 'hey can you shut down.' you can also send it a quit command, I use screen so it looks like screen -S screen_name -X quit where screen_name is the name of my server's screen session.

[obtuse rose]

Makes sense, thank you. I was thinking i could set a cron to restart the server at like 3am daily.

[still trail]

hmm

I've got a large bash script I built for managing my bare metal gameservers if you want, it handles start/stop/backup/update/logging/restarting on crash.

I just have 3 crons set up to run it with different flags on reboot (start), 3am every day (restart/update), and every 5 minutes (the server crash check)

and I just have a server_data file for each game with some info the script needs

# [User Variables]
user_name="windrose"

# [Server Variables]
server_name="Windrose"
steam_id="4129620"
run_command=(
    xvfb-run -a
    wine
    /home/windrose/server/R5/Binaries/Win64/WindroseServer-Win64-Shipping.exe -log
)
xvfb_used="true"
save_location="server/R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB_v2/0.10.0/Worlds"```

cron just looks like:

@reboot /home/windrose/server_controller -sU
0 3 * * * /home/windrose/server_controller -sxUB
*/5 * * * * /home/windrose/server_controller -c```

and I keep an alias in bashrc alias server='~/server_controller' so I can type stuff like server -sx in the terminal

[obtuse rose]

Thank you! That'll save me some time. Much appreciated.

[still trail]

note that if it restarts over 5 times in an hour due to crashes, it will create an empty file server_controller_crash_loop that needs deleted before it resumes lol. it'll tell you that in the regular and crash logs it creates, too.

[obtuse rose]

Got it.

[random elbow]

How do I update my server with the game updates because I can no longer get into my dedicated server

[still trail]

windows or linux? or paid?

[random elbow]

Paid im using nitrado

[still trail]

server updates should be automatic, and they should restart for it. you could try forcing a restart just in case, and see if that works, but if not then they haven't pushed the update yet.

[random elbow]

Ahh I see ok thanks

[still trail]

one disadvantage of paid servers is the update delay 🙁 sorry!

[still gust]

I want to load an offline world on a dedicated server, the latest version. When I follow instructions it always gives me a 1 week old instance

[random elbow]

Yea alright I was just making sure if its nothing I could fix

[still trail]

do the instructions say to use an RocksDB folder?

if so change that to RocksDB_v2

they updated how saves work a bit ago, and made a new folder for them

[still gust]

I tried that copy rockdb and renamed it rockdb_v2 to no avail

[still trail]

do not do that lol

grab the _v2 one and move it to the server's _v2 folder

if you have a RocksDB folder on your PC, that is an old one... about a week old. it hasn't been used since then.

[tepid spade]

I'm getting this as well, but only when playing on a friend's dedicated server. If I load into a solo world it's perfectly fine.

[still gust]

Ok I will try

[worn yew]

The game crashes at startup (WITHOUT ERRORS), I've tried a bunch of tips, a bunch of ways and fixes, what could be the problem? Help pls((

[still trail]

windows, linux, or paid?

[worn yew]

Windows 11

[still trail]

well, let me start with this, has it worked before? and if so, does it work with the save removed? (just move it to test, don't delete)

[worn yew]

i7-14700KF

[still trail]

oops, just edited. have seen some older server cpus do exactly that, but that's not your issue looks like

that one can def run it lol

[still gust]

did not work 🙁

https://playwindrose.com/faq/#faq-saves-ingame doesnt have anything i am having 😒

[quartz hatch]

Hello, I have just been playing on solo mode. I closed my game with Alt-F4 because i turned in a quest not knowing my inventory was full and didnt receive quest rewards. i thought maybe i could go back. Now i cant get back into my world. I can start new characters. But i cant get my main online. I just get the "application has hung up" message. I have tried restarted, re-installing, did a bunch of weird stuff with cloud saves. Nothing. I can see my character in main menu, but it always freezes when loading the world.

[gusty flame]

Got a prob, cant connect to server. stuck on loading screen, if i use the relay-connection theres the loading screen and 5 sec later im back on the homepage.
if my friend tries connecting from his computer on my acc, everything works. tried anything from the FAQ page, didnt help.

[elder nymph]

So uhh...How do I force the game to actually save properly? My last save is from 5/4 even though I've booted up the server and been on multiple times since. It deleted a bunch of hours of building progress before, and I've been testing if it will save properly now, still won't.
If I turn off cloud saves will it save locally properly? Right now there isn't any purpose in playing if everytime i do any work it just disappears next time I have to restart the server.

[wispy jackal]

I cannot create a server, I do but cannot connect to it.

It keeps loading then throw me away.

[fallow dagger]

same here, i am unable to host a server this morning for some reason.

[quartz hatch]

Hello again. I fixed my problem by playing on another computer. playing just enough to make the game autosave, then closing out, then going back to my computer. Saved my entire character.

[fallow horizon]

cant load into my hosted server. anyone got a fix?

[keen parcel]

Where to find Nitrado support?

??

[still trail]

looks like https://server.nitrado.net/en-US/support

[valid sky]

Good morning. Same issue here. I can't open my self hosted server with the EU & NA specifically. It just loads for a while then kicks me back to the main screen. But it would connect with the CIS.

[tulip needle]

Same here, Cant connect to any hosted game.

[elder nymph]

Game is just constantly running into more and more issues daily with saves and servers. Devs need to pump out a patch asap for all this.
Takes away tons of motivation to play when you have no idea if things will even function or save.
And with less and less people active here/playing the game, we're getting much less tech support from other players as well. We need actual dev input/support.

[severe sky]

Is there no way to change difficulty on a server? I tried changing the JSON, but at the start it resets it. Its a dedicated server. I do not see ingame option, and the startup just rewrite it with a backup.

[elder nymph]

From what I've read so far, (this was like 1-2 weeks ago) devs said try turning off steam cloud saves and then try. Steam cloud overwrites a ton of stuff with this game, including saves sometimes so I also recommend backing up the server often.

[still trail]

server you're running or a paid one?

[severe sky]

I run it myself

[still trail]

if it's windows and through steam directly, try what crusted said. if it's steamcmd windows or linux, that won't be it - curious what your file looks like in that case.

[severe sky]

Ohh sorry. Its on linux. Wine dedicated.

[twilit bone]

Hello all, have a issue, when try loading is freezes and get a error message, "appliction hang up= someting like that.. have searched the it and not get good answers.. So i hopefully i get answer how to fix this.. Playing on PC (microsoft) and play via steam

[still trail]

then it absolutely can't be steam backup, since that doesn't use steam backups. check two things for me - make sure the file has windows line endings (\r\n vs \n, or crlf vs lf).

and check that all the attempted settings are within the max/min parameters that DedicatedServer.md states

if both of those seem fine, paste the file here (between ``` to preserve all formatting)

with the edits you're trying to make ofc

[manic mulch]

well i dono if this is a bug or not but my world concle/server says its acppting many connections over and over ..

[iron stirrup]

Hey Guys - IM really at a loss here and kind of upset. I loaded up my dedicated server today and it put me into a blank fresh world. I then saw it was pulling the wrong world ID, so I fixed that but when it loaded my world, its from like a week ago. I did so much building and gained so much rep, Ive tried troubleshooting im just not quite sure what to do.

[keen parcel]

No I mean on this server , it was here

[elder nymph]

Nothing. Same thing happened to me and no fix unfortunately. You just have to redo everything.
There are some servers and mods/cheats that you can use though to speed up the process or get everything back super fast (besides what you built).
Make sure to backup your saves everyday so that you can just replace it next time this happens if it does.

[still gust]

%LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles is showing out dated worlds from 4/05/2026 yet when I play the game is loads file modifed yestterday?

can it be its being saved somewhere else?

[nimble swift]

Anyone else have issue with Nitrado paid server Windrose can't find server through invite code or direct Ip. It says in connection servics that NA is N/A

[still trail]

You looking in the RocksDB folder? Or the _v2 one?

[still gust]

both

[still trail]

RockDB isn't used any more, all your stuff since then should be in the _v2. As for the age, where are you seeing the dates?

[still trail]

they've added/removed/changed some stuff, I don't think that channel exists any more

[still gust]

C:\Users\andre\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\STEAM ID\RocksDB_v2\0.10.0\Worlds\WORLD ID

All files are 4/05

[still trail]

the folders or the files?

because the folder dates don't get updated

[still gust]

files

[severe sky]

It worked. Key points:
-Don’t edit the runtime JSON at RocksDB_v2/.../WorldDescription.json — server overwrites it on every boot. Edit AdditionalRecordFiles/WorldDescription.json inside the RocksDB_v2_Backups/Worlds/<ID>/<ID>_<ver>_Latest.zip instead
-Line endings must stay CRLF

[iron stirrup]

That really sucks, is there a fast way to get building materials ? I thought there was no console commands

[elder nymph]

There are no console commands, but if you look around in modding or server promotion people sometimes host servers that have unlimited mats from using mods and let people just grab some.
If you go down the modding route though (which is faster in this scenario) Look for Windrose cheat suite on nexusmods. Let's you spawn in resources. You can also just duplicate your save file and keep putting resources into your inventory and then resetting the save so they are all back in stash then repeat.

Tons of ways around it, just not optimal lol. But once you have a mod or whatever next time this happens if you don't make a backup, at least you have a solution.

[marsh glen]

If your world save state is not correct:

Make sure All 3 folders

RocksDB
RocksDB_v2
RocksDB_c2_Backups

Are the most current on your server folder directories.

It does appear the Database prioritizes the RoksDB_v2_Backups above all others

This thread "kinda" eludes to this behavior:

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

You can also look a the pinned 📌 guide, which I would recommend as a starting point

You can also , and should reference the conversation by Kringle starting here:

#🚧│tech-support message

If you are running a server, self or dedicate, you are a server admin. This requires some level of technical troubleshooting, and self diagnosis. There is no "Vibe Sys Admin-ing".

Pass this along and help others, I just don't have time anymore to keep repeating the same things. (esp when server admins can't be bothered to fist check a pin/ the days post history / or use the search box..)

[still gust]

now instead of loading old save file server is generating new world all time

ServerDescription.json keeps changing on launch

and yes i tried pinned stuff multiple times

[marsh glen]

Then I honestly don't know what to tell you, outside of you're likely missing a step. The processes I've linked have helped more than I can count in your exact situation.

[ember reef]

Hi guys, how do I properly restore a save backup in RocksDB_v2 of a dedicated server? In the RocksDB_v2_Backups' shared_checksum folder, I see sst files, but they are named differently to the sst files in the RocksDB_v2 folder, so I guess it's not a direct copy paste but I'm supposed to use a script/tool to let it manage the restoration, is that correct?

[marsh glen]

backup restore is just simply copy / paste the entire folder, not individual files

[ember reef]

I used to do that in RocksDB v1, but v2 has different backup file names which don't match the original files in Worlds folder like the V1. How am I suppose to copy paste when it doesn't replace?

[normal shell]

Hello, everytime I try and host a game, it starts loading and puts me into the start menu

[still gust]

i created a rockdb empty and pasted rockdb_v2 in it

[marsh glen]

it's not copy and paste, it's copy and replace. So either remove, or rename what is there.

[ember reef]

But the file names and even folder structures are different, it won't "replace".

[marsh glen]

please re read #🚧│tech-support message

you are not replacing the backups into the V2 folder.

[west jacinth]

Couldnt find a location for leaving improvement wishes...

[marsh glen]

theres a feed back link in game, takes you to a web form

[west jacinth]

Thanks!

I just want bindable key to select already build parts to be builded again. So building would be faster after you have put down some building parts.

[nocturne holly]

I have attempted this a few times. I am able to join the correctyy world now, but it appears to be loading a save file from a while back. any tips for correcting this?

[marsh glen]

Scroll up, various fixes posted in one summary.

[shell arrow]

i'm having a continued issue where it seems like my character data isn't updating properly? the past few days, every time i hop off of either a solo world or a multiplayer world, most of my character data rolls back, regardless of how long i've been playing. i'm wondering if this is the game not updating the save properly, maybe steam cloud interference or something? i'm just trying to run through ideas to try out so i can actually continue playing without feeling like i need to rip my hair out

[south jetty]

Everytime I try to host game it loads then the app just closes

[sage maple]

I keep getting a ue-r5 fatal error crash. Can't play for longer than a minute. Didn't have any crashes in my first 14 hours and now the game is unplayable. Ive tried a lot of stuff from the forums with no luck

[nocturne holly]

Try selecting a different region

[woven trellis]

Does anyone know how to solve this? I have a host PC, but I just restarted it and now it created another world, and even after deleting the new world folder and leaving the old one, it won't open the old one. (PS: I'm using SteamCMD.)

[versed fractal]

same here. I have not yet found a fix. Played 60 hours without issues and then suddenly everything went south. I've tried reinstalling the game, reinstalling Windows even... I don't think my game save is bugged either given I've tried a repair tool that found no errors.

[sage maple]

Happening to my friends too

[versed fractal]

I'm thinking it has something to do with character saveprofile syncing with the server. At least that's what I'm reading from my dedicated server log out of both client logs and server log + windows eventviewer... I've tried a lot of stuff including wiping my Windows OS completely clean 3 times

my dedicated server accepts my character (client computer) login but then after it tries to look deeper into the character sync... it sees something wrong and then my client/game crashes

so what I'm trying out next is to remove all my gear etc... start a new character in the same server. It'll be a grind again

okay. Looks like it's not a save file issue. I just created a completely new character and that did not work. I still crashed

[marsh glen]

It's extremely difficult to read the log files of the WindroseServer-Win64-Shipping.exe process. This server and game client throw out a metric ton of warnings, even when running healthy. The devs really need to make it a priority to clean up the log files.

With that said, what exactly is your issue., Give as much details as possible.

I'm not going to be on much longer tonight, not even sure if you still are, but I'll be back around tomorrow if we don't connect.

[versed fractal]

yeah I'm not sure what's going on either but I posted a lot more stuff in this thread here: https://discordapp.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1503195079794233424
I honestly think it has something to do with 9800X3D and AMD Adrenalin? There's also a post here: https://discordapp.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1502840529182785587
Thank you

[marsh glen]

when was the last time you updated your Graphics drivers?

99% of the client crashes I've been seeing are due to Graphic drivers

AMD card?

EDIT Ah, I see nVidia card.
Try rolling back drivers, I'm personally still using drivers from November '24 on my 4090. Still Stable, and still strong. Seems like all the drivers since the 5000 series were launched are terrible imo..

[wet belfry]

have a private host through Nitrado, the server keeps kicking us out, the web interface shows 'Updating' everytime it happens, then it happens again like 20 mins later. this has been happening for a couple days, Nitrado even copied the files to new hardware to rule out an issue with their hardware, they think it is corrupted in some way but i don't know how to fix it 🙁

[marsh glen]

Best advice I can offer is starting from here, #🚧│tech-support message lota info lota links, can't promise it'll all be relevant. Nitrado seems to be a whole nother animal esp when it comes to updates.

[marsh glen]

do you have serer logs to offer up?

[wet belfry]

what specific log files you want

[marsh glen]

\windrose\R5\Saved\Logs

trying to get one that is actually from the time you had disconnects is most important. every time you restart the server it starts a new log

[wet belfry]

we never restart it, it does that for us 😂

[marsh glen]

fair enough

so does the server crash, or are you just getting disconnected?

[versed fractal]

I was using 591.59 (December 2025) before the latest game patch came out. .and it was super stable. I had no issues with it for the longest time. After the latest game patch, that's when the crashes started occurring so I updated my nvidia driver to the latest 596.36 and it got a lot worse from there

[marsh glen]

I'd recommend rolling back.

[versed fractal]

I have also tried that too... the crashes don't go away unfortunately. I've tried DDU and then installing the old driver set

[mental scaffold]

So, my dedicated server keeps crashing with an OOM error after a few hours of ~3 players online.. But even the error dump says the server has 108GB RAM available.. What's the issue?

[marsh glen]

Have you tried going really far back? like 560.94 - ish time ?

[marsh glen]

run a Memtest86+ scan for memory errors

[versed fractal]

no i haven't. which one should I aim for?

[mental scaffold]

Dunno if I wanna have my server offline long enough to do a Memtest86+ on 128GB of RAM.

[marsh glen]

I run 560.94 November '24

[marsh glen]

its' up to you, but memory crash does not always mean out of memory. It could easily be a memory error. You'll never know it until some program happens to try to allocate that bad sector.

If the server is local pop a stick out one by one and put in another machine to test if you have the capability.

[mental scaffold]

I'm currently wondering if WINE has some kinda internal memory allocation limit or if somehow my docker container has a memory limit that is super low.

[marsh glen]

I'm running 4 Dockers with WINE v10+ each system has over 1TB of memory.

[marsh glen]

What docker container are you using?

[mental scaffold]

nodiaque/steamcmd:windrose

[marsh glen]

ok,.. I have two of those container's running my self, and have had no issue with it

[mental scaffold]

Hmm... This is the only container I've ever had OOM issues with, and I have a few continers that use a LOT more RAM than this one.. Ollama and the like, for instance.

I guess Windrose is just being unlucky and writing to potentially bad sectors.

[marsh glen]

again , it's not about how much memory something uses, ..

exactly it could be hitting a bad sector.

my first guess is you got a bad stick in there

and memory errors are a pia to deal with

[mental scaffold]

Yea, I know it's not about amount.. I'm just saying if something is using 80GB of RAM it is more likely to hit the bad sector than a game using 8GB of RAM..

[marsh glen]

I had one on my plex server a few years back, and 1TB worth of sticks took forever to find it

[mental scaffold]

Yea, I've had 'bad memory' before and the interesting thing was it would only trigger the issue during certain things.. a Memtest never ever saw the sticks as bad, but a few games could trigger it predictably... But, swapping the RAM out did indeed fix it, so it was 100% a RAM issue.

[marsh glen]

memory be like that ..

[mental scaffold]

Fact, and, like I said.. Maybe Windrose is just being that 'lucky'..

Another interesting fact: The server has been running for about 4-5 days, it hasn't crashed like this once, until today.. And it's done it I think 3 or 4 times in the last 4 or 5 hours.

[marsh glen]

I mean it's still early access, who know what crazy shenenigans it's doing under the hood still

[mental scaffold]

yep

Well, thanks for the help and next time I take that server down for an 'extended maintenance' I'll throw in a Memtest86+..

[marsh glen]

best of luck

[mental scaffold]

it is hard to find time to take the server offline for so long, got Minecraft servers and Space Engineers and Enshrouded and so many other servers running on it for my Gaming group.. LOL

[marsh glen]

gotta set that date, and send out notice to your players.

[prisma aurora]

photonic chips are the future of gaming

[versed fractal]

no luck unfortunately. Still same crashing where dedicated server kicks me off. Client side has a different log than server though and says it's a shader problem

[marsh glen]

RIP..

Something is goin on with the last update, a lot of users over the weekend have this GPU shader issue.

are you running DLAA by any chance?

[versed fractal]

yeah i'm not sure what's up. No DLAA. Just regular anti-aliasing. No frame gen.

[mental scaffold]

Hmmm, I'm running 596.36 and not having any issues, is it the latest Drivers that are causing it?

[marsh glen]

he just tried rolling back, still getting the same crashes.

I wonder if something is being written to the game files causing it...

[versed fractal]

I was just trying a rollback from 596.36 because 596.36 didn't work as well. Previous to the latest game client patch, I was using 591.59 without issues

[marsh glen]

did you try jumpng back to 560.xx ?

[versed fractal]

yes i did and that's the latest log from it

[marsh glen]

I would also maybe suggest reset all graphics to default settings, and then turn everything down to minimum. see if it still crashes

[mental scaffold]

My Upscaller is TSR with a Render Resolution of 100% and Fram Gen off. If that helps any.

[woven trellis]

Does anyone know how to solve this? I have a host PC, but I just restarted it and now it created another world, and even after deleting the new world folder and leaving the old one, it won't open the old one. (PS: I'm using SteamCMD.)

[marsh glen]

#🚧│tech-support message

[left wadi]

quick question: Are Linux/Bazzite issues helped with or just windows?

[marsh glen]

There's folks in here running Linux servers not sure if they are on now, but post away

[woven trellis]

Windows

[left wadi]

thank you for answering.

[marsh glen]

there are plenty of people that run linux and have helped in here

[left wadi]

just having a infrequent crashing of the game. screen freezes then goes black. then kicks to desktop with graphics reset notification

runing proton experemental

[marsh glen]

I'm not sure if the linux people are on now, but hopefully they can get back to you, but maybe check back as well

[versed fractal]

no luck. Crashed hahahahahah

[marsh glen]

https://tenor.com/view/ricolino-scolari-gif-12061360726599077047

[left wadi]

OK thank you for the response

[marsh glen]

yeah ,,... I dunno, but I do know you're not the only one having this issue, it's getting more and more popular

[versed fractal]

funny thing is.. one of my friends was in the server. Right when I crashed, his whole game froze too hahaha. He doesn't have the same problems I do and has been playing normally

[marsh glen]

so it's gotta be client based

[versed fractal]

yeah I'm hoping so... the error messages are too confusing between the dedicated server log and the client

[marsh glen]

are you running any mods?

[versed fractal]

zero mods

[marsh glen]

errff..

what if you make a new character to test?

[versed fractal]

I also tried that earlier today.... same thing. Crashes after a short bit

[marsh glen]

hmm..

so it's not potentailly character files..

have to tried a new character on a new server?

[versed fractal]

i don't think it's character files. I had suspected it was something to do with how the database on the server sees the character so I thought deleting my existing character and the files from localappdata (plus turn off steam cloud) would help... but it didn't.

i have not tried a character on a new server

[marsh glen]

that's wat I was kinda leaning toward.. i'm doubting it'll be any different, but if it is by chance, it could give some kinda of a clue that it's something between the account and server

[versed fractal]

okay.... my friend could not join my dedicated server right when I crashed and he crashed too

I just restarted the dedicated server

[marsh glen]

locally you have a player folder and an account folder, I do believe both are validated against the server (I could be wrong)

[versed fractal]

no i think you're right

[marsh glen]

Anyway, I've gotta get some sleep, hopefully you can keep picking at it, and find a clue. I'll check back in tomorrow, maybe I 'll come up with an idea over night.

🫡

[versed fractal]

have a good night! Thanks for trying

[woeful yew]

Looks like they can’t figure out the issue with multiplayer

[versed fractal]

you have similar problems ?

[woeful yew]

Got the issue since the update from the 29/30 April. One of the team members tried everything and gave up on me 🤣 I can play single player but not multiplayer but I can play multiplayer with another steam account on the same pc

[versed fractal]

wtf LOL... that's very odd. But also makes some sense. My dedicated server is reading an ID tagged to me and it's seeing a difference between its own database vs my pc's character profile. Since there's a mismatch, my own server kicks me out. Creating a new character won't fix it because the database still has me tagged the same way...
Which gets me to think yeah ... another steam account would work cause you have a different ID.
I do not have a fix still and this is beyond me

changing my IP to re-enter the same server will not work. it'll still crash me

[woeful yew]

That’s what I think that my steamID is getting blocked. The support gave me a server to join and we had the same issue with directIP or invite code

[versed fractal]

yeah I don't know how to fix this. I tried deleting some backup folders in the server side as well but that only rolled back my server by over a week. It still kicked me out. Definitely steamID with database issue from what I'm thinking.... so odd how the game worked perfectly fine for me until the latest game client patch

[woeful yew]

I logged into my second pc and downloaded the game turned off cloud sync and created a new character and tried to host a game and still had the same issue. It loads for about 30s then freezes and the game closes

No error message just back to desktop

[hearty skiff]

Is there going to be a Steam Deck graphics preset for this game? I know Windrose is still in early access, but I'm wondering whether devs will embrace the handheld officially.

[versed fractal]

hmm....now this is interesting. A new character, presumably new server too and it's doing that? hmm....

[rancid fiber]

Does cloud saves fixed?

[peak wraith]

whats the recommended gpu for peak windrose performance?😀

[hallow jacinth]

https://youtu.be/mW-73nWnpRg

[narrow verge]

My 5080 is running it fine, you do not need massive framerates in majority of games, I lock it at 60fps, saves power and heat, so fans barely audible.

[peak wraith]

5080 nice I'm not punching like that.

[swift umbra]

Anyone have an idea of how I can fix this? Tried to migrate my server from one PC to another

I even completely copied the other PCs server folder

[swift umbra]

If you keep getting them, ping me. I run Bazzite

[woven trellis]

The problem is that these easy solutions have already been tried, but even after replacing folders and leaving only the world folder, when I restart my Windows command prompt and start my game (which uses Steam Command Prompt) on the server, it automatically creates another world, ignoring the one that's already there. That's why I'm unsure what to do.

[edgy crane]

what are the technical requirements for hosting your own server ?

[tiny sluice]

can anyone explain this

[green parrot]

Help can someone explain why my server crashed now it wont load the world and just keep creating a new one

[tiny sluice]

i had to reinstal on steam and restart server.did trick for me.

[green parrot]

i run steam cmd sadly

[ember reef]

Hi guys, when I teleport to Tortuga, it shows black screen and thes server keeps saying this, what does that mean, is there a fix?

See #🚧│tech-support message and try that

Also #🚧│tech-support message

I just had to do all of this to get mine to work again

[green parrot]

Thanks will try that only started happening today but will give them a try thanks Astral

[swift umbra]

It just started happening to me today as well during a hardware migration. Better part of 3 hours getting it to work x.x

[green parrot]

yep just finished work haha now doing this till i can play haha

[swift umbra]

It's a chunky game. Loading screens also make it look higher

totally didn't end up buying a new PC because of this game

[tiny sluice]

ha my runs it fine but wow ive seen 3000 mb

[split egret]

My progress didn’t save again. When I exited the game, I had a loading screen for about 10 minutes, and then my computer crashed because of an error. It also didn’t sync with Steam Cloud.
@marsh glen

[hallow jacinth]

Explain what exactly? The low RAM usage? Game hasn't loaded an environment yet.

[dawn shell]

Hi everyone. Have an issue and could use some help. I copied server file a week before saves update. Now server is being shut down and I am unable to remove server file and put updated version on single player. No matter what I delete and replace with newer file, older copy returns. Tried several times and tried what the internet tells me to do to put files on single player. Any suggestions?

[split egret]

My progress didn’t save again. When I exited the game, I had a loading screen for about 10 minutes, and then my computer crashed because of an error. It also didn’t sync with Steam Cloud.

[iron stirrup]

I cant seem to update my worlddescription file anymore to bring down the difficulty. Did they change how this works?

[viral briar]

Hi. when i started the game yesterday all of a sudden my world was gone. Does not show up anymore in world selection. there is also no backup in the Backup-Wold Folder or the Steam Cloud. Do i have to start a new one?

[tiny sluice]

seems a bit higher usage to not even load in .

[hallow jacinth]

Not at all. That is very good when compared to other titles like Star Citizen that will eat up 64GB of RAM and ask for more.

[chrome gazelle]

Having an isisue where I'm no longer able to join my dedicated server with my main character anymore, it just boots me back to the menu. I'm able to create a new character and join but I really don't want to lose my progress. I'm also able to load my main character in a single player world.

[ionic berry]

hey guys, im stuck trying to load my save. It says loading but eventually the app hangs and tries to load

I dont want to lose this save

[split egret]

My progress didn’t save again. When I exited the game, I had a loading screen for about 10 minutes, and then my computer crashed because of an error. It also didn’t sync with Steam Cloud.

[obtuse rose]

Everything seems to be working as intended, but I get an odd log entry in R5.log warning.. R5BLDalAsyncQueue::DetectProblems EXTREMELY slow task. Task was finished in 4322 ms. Could be from low ram on the machine or is this "normal"?

[hollow oasis]

hi guys 🙂 just bought Windrose but it wont load, all i get is a black screen then it goes back to desktop. Ive cleaned the shader cach, turned off all overlays, turned off steam cloud, verified files and deleted the saved games file in the R5 folder. Im at a loss as what to do. all drivers and pc are up to date also

[split egret]

My progress didn’t save again. When I exited the game, I had a loading screen for about 10 minutes, and then my computer crashed because of an error. It also didn’t sync with Steam Cloud. @marsh glen

[snow lion]

Same thing here, it gets overriden, even if i change the worlddescription of the backup files, did you manage to get this to work?

[iron stirrup]

I used 7zip to change the json file in the backup folder, and the values can’t be lower than 0.4 as far as ai can tell

[fallen cradle]

i need the fix for this aswell

[sage maple]

same issue, Windows 10, 7800xtx and 7900x3d. Happening to all my friends as well. I believe it is a unreal engine issue at this point.

[fierce raven]

Hiya, I'm trying to host a server but when I try, it just infinitely loads. Anybody know any fixes?

[primal furnace]

Anyone know how I can fix this? I am attempting to convert a Nitrado server world to a offline but when i attempt to copy the world file this is all i get.

[hollow oasis]

hope they fix it soon then

[rocky pebble]

Have a server on gportal, three players one in USA and 2 in Japan. All get kicked every 10-15 mins. Tried verify files, tried invite code and IP direct. Gportal said it’s not there end. Anyone experience this?

[unreal flax]

Anyone can host a server?

I was playing with my friend yesterday but today i cant open it

For some reason i keep getting back on the starting screen

[random granite]

anyone else cannot join server? randomly got kicked

[edgy stone]

@wise turret - did your server ever end up smoothing out? We ran into a similar issue when we hit T2 islands. Initially, we lost the mini map. You could see where you were looking, but not your character marker in the minimap. Then - others couldn't see each other in the game. We'd get disconnected within 3 minutes. I figured we had just did something in the game that borked it.

We ended up reverting to an older save. Tried that - and things got slightly better - the mini map and map were working as expected, but still laggy. Ended up renaming the old RocksDB to an old name (to get rid of it), renamed RocksDB_v2 to RocksDB, and renamed the RocksDB_v2_backups to another name. I watched the server generate the new RocksDB_v2 and corresponding backups folder. Things were looking okay, but performance just isn't where we were a bit ago.

We're using a different docker by Uberman. When we look at the docker resources, everything appears to be fine, we're not exhausting anything.

[frozen ridge]

Not quite sure if this has been brought up before, if so, please forgive me for bringing it up again. I have a MSI 49" curved monitor. I hook my laptop up to it at times to play various games. While connected to the monitor, I have my laptop screen turned off. I have noticed with Windrose when playing, if I turn off my laptop after playing on the external monitor, disconnect my monitor from my laptop and play just on the laptop screen, the resolution is way off and skewed to the side when I launch the game. This only seems to happen with Windrose and not any of the other PC games that I play. My laptop is an Asus ROG Strix G733PZ with a GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card.

[autumn whale]

So i was playing on my main world, when i teleported to Tortuga, when i arrived my screen froze. Had to restart my computer, because ctrl, alt, delete wouldnt work. So when i go into the game again and select my main world. The loading never ends, but i can take the character to another world. Anyone know a fix for this, or had similar problems?

[frozen mirage]

I saw a small dedicated server patch over the weekend. Were any notes posted about it? Was I mistaken?

[desert yew]

I have had a great time, no issues playing solo. BUT when I host friends, They ALL 3 get bumped out of game. Always when we are at sea. Really annoying. What is going on. I live in Canada. So what world server choice should I choose when hosting?

[versed fractal]

no notes about it. I saw it too

Is there a way to check logs to see why I’m getting stuck at loading? Loading animation plays, audio starts and the animation freezes. Eventually I get an error saying it is stuck

Just tried launching a solo world and I was able to get in but still can’t join my friends server

[quick knoll]

I had the same issue also.

[latent stag]

For whatever issue, I joined my own new solo server and my friend restarted the server (again) and I was able to join suddenly

[alpine mango]

My AMP server seems to not be working at all now. It says it's running but no one can connect. You can attempt to load in but it kicks you back to menu after a short wait. No error messages. Are there any known issues that this could be?

[stiff cloud]

My game keeps crashing so hard I have to reboot my pc.

Every time I leave or enter my base more and more lately and whenever I use bells to teleport it’s a coin flip.

I have a pretty capable 5070 rig. So I’m not convinced it’s hardware related. I know this game is very new so I’m trying being patient. Just getting old… the moment I start unlocking things and building a cool looking spot up the client can’t handle it.

[chrome gazelle]

I've been having this all day and it's been really annoying trying all sorts of solutions to no avail up until just now

Weirdly I've just found that I can reliably connect to my server now when I'm using my WiFi and a VPN (ProtonVPN)...
Weird because:
WiFi & no VPN - Disconnect to menu
Ethernet & no VPN - Disconnect to menu
Ethernet & VPN - Disconnect to menu
WiFi & VPN - Works fine!

I've been using ethernet only for a week playing with friends and suddenly today connection issues have only been happening for me, nothing has changed with the server, my network, my PC etc. It just now decides I need to be on wireless and use a VPN... It's frustrating that devs don't even seem to acknowledge this ~~channel ~~ Discord server either.

[azure vine]

Anyone have a solution for my game just returning to the Play screen everytime I try and load in?

[alpine mango]

I tried wifi with a vpn and I still can't connect. I think I have a different issue and I really think it's that my AMP app instance isn't updating properly.

I'm sure the devs are busy working on a lot of stuff rn, considering how new and broken the game is. 3rd party server management probably isn't a priority. Whoever made the initial guide for setting up with AMP though... if you're reading this then you know that there are at least a few people having issues. I believe in you.

[azure vine]

What is AMP

[lime wraith]

Can discord mods please let us view history of the DIY contest? I want to check out peoples hard work!!!!

[alpine mango]

It is game server management software, by Cubecoders

[chrome gazelle]

My AMP instance also doesn't seem to be updating properly, but I don't think it's an issue with that - I've seen a lot of people having the same issue and it seems to be the some sort of P2P/ICE/TURN transport failure causing the BL session to disconnect, according to ChatGPT when given the fairly unhelpful server logs.

I get that this is a small team and they're likely hard at work on a lot of other issues too but just some acknowledgement would be nice - why have a tech support channel if they're not going to respond to anything in here? We're just left on our own to try and figure out the bugs.

[alpine mango]

Update: switching the server settings to use IP addressing made it work for me.

[quick acorn]

my game is stuck at loading every time I try to connect to a dedicated server

new character/new server/new world

[chrome gazelle]

Dedicated server hosted from where? Own hardware or a third party?

[fathom creek]

Is there an official solution to the N/A problem? I cant connect to any server

[autumn whale]

Have the same issue, my game froze on a teleport. And now i cant even get back in to my main world. Im stuck in a forever loading screen.

[lost beacon]

hey all me and my friend were playing and his game crashed and just totally deleted our world our players saves are fine is there a way to get the world back?
when we go to the backups the world folder has a thing in there that says lock and nothing else

[foggy fern]

use direct IP and skip the relay entirely

[foggy fern]

if whoever created the world has nothing in C:\Users\<YOUR_USERNAME>\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\<SOME_GUID>\RocksDB_v2\0.10.0\Worlds
or the equivalent _Backups folder. Then it is highly unlikely.

Make sure hidden folders are shown

[lost beacon]

theres a world in there but it just says lock when you click in the file

like theres nothing in the world theres just a notepad file named lock

[clear stratus]

is the bell limit per person or per server

[edgy crane]

travelpoint limit is per server

[tidal mirage]

Is anyone reporting dedicated server crashing when players leave?

[livid junco]

Please help me solve the problem. I can't connect to a friend to play together. I get to the main menu. There are no errors.

[chrome gazelle]

Are they hosting on a dedicated server?

[livid junco]

No

[still gust]

tried force connection tickbox?

[livid junco]

Yes

[wispy lotus]

stuck on loading but I can hear the world already, it's a dedicated server

can anyone help pls?

I tried attacking and it did, played the sfx

[narrow pier]

I have a Nitrado server and have been working with one of their agents as I could not connect to my rented dedicated server. He could connect but I keep getting the same loading screen or kicked out altogether. So at this point, I am waiting for a friend to see if he can connect. Incredibly frustrating.

[empty pelican]

I'm getting the infinite loading bug. I think it is the one related to the character saves. How can I restore the older/working back up saves? I saw the file is inside a zip but when I open them, they don't even look like the files in the other folders. How to know what to restore?

[warm smelt]

Something is breaking the connection from the game through the VPN that connects to a dedicated server. Unless hosting the server yourself on your computer without a VPN connection, it will not work. However, I've seen other comments where people tried a different VPN and it worked for them. My friends and I tried the IP address direct connection and did not work for us. One of these friends, who is a pretty good dev, said that it seems the issue is on their end. What's crazy to me is that its been about 48 hours since the first reports on this issue and NO RESPONSE from the @unreal estuary support team. 1.5 million copies sold at $30 within 2 weeks from launch, that's $45 million. Someone would think that for that kind money we would have a whole team helping us out by now.. smh

[narrow pier]

@warm smelt I agree with you, you would think at that amount of money made there would be an entire team focused on critical fixes.

[warped narwhal]

Has the Steam cloud save issue, between two PC been resolved?

[meager dagger]

I'm self hosting from a second PC - my friends seem able to connect to my server but I can't unless I hotspot from my phone. Theres definitely some IP related shenanigans going on that I havent worked out yet

[narrow pier]

@meager dagger I can join but its only for about 5-6 mins then I am kicked back to the main menu. Incredibly frustrating with the amount of hours myself and my friends have in the game.

[meager dagger]

Oh ok, thats different to my issue than. I just get load screen and back to menu or the game crashes

Some people said a VPN has helped them, for me the only solution so far has been the mobile hotspot

[narrow pier]

Yes, those happen too! Its just the spawn in, play for 5 mins and back seems to the majority of the things that happen. Will try the VPN route though.

[solid totem]

i have been working on correcting a map load issue with my server. For some reason it wants to load a completely different world then whats in my config file it used to show two worlds now it just shows the wrong one. Has anyone else had this issue and was able to remedy it?

[warm smelt]

FIXED UPDATE!!!!
If running a dedicated server. Request a new IP from the provider and do a direct IP connection to it. Seems like the invite system isnt working properly as well as corrupting the existing IP.
Request a new one, change it and direct IP connect. It should work. It did on my end.

[solid totem]

would love for that to be true

[warm smelt]

Sorry @solid totem I pressed enter before I was done typing

[solid totem]

you are good, been trying to fix this server for the past 3 days with no luck

everytime i get it "working" they patch somethign and i have start over

[warm smelt]

have you tried what I just posted?

[solid totem]

I think at this point its going on the back burner until they get a little further along with the multiplayer aspect of the game

[solid totem]

the direct ip resolution?

[warm smelt]

yes but changing the IP address first

[solid totem]

i guess the big question i have is which one is the current save file path

[sleek storm]

the first one

[solid totem]

I dont have a connection issue i can connect to my server it is loading the wrong world

[warm smelt]

oh nvm then

[hollow oasis]

I finally got it to load, go to windows security, device security, core isolation and turn off core integrity. Restart pc then load game, you must wait 15-30 minutes for shaders to load (mine too 10), Hope this help you and your mates

i am on windows 11 tho

[static oar]

Can someone please help me with my dedicated server, world won’t load in fully no matter how many ways I try to paste my world into RocksDB and the JSON file

[warm smelt]

request a new IP from your dedicated server provider and direct IP connect to it after changing the IP and restarting your server

[unborn yew]

Has anyone found a solution to the common error of 'fatal error' crashes?

[static oar]

Even though I was IP connected prior?

[white ledge]

^same but never got the game to run. It just crashes on launch.

[solid totem]

This has nothign to do with uyour map not loading ignore them

[unborn yew]

Damn that really sucks..
For me its every 5 to 30 minutes i can play at a time

[warm smelt]

My map wasnt loading either @solid totem but the issue was not being able to connect to a dedicated server. If hosted a server myself it works fine. not sure whos having the same issue or not. Im only sharing a solution that worked for me

[white ledge]

Really sucks because one comment i saw to fix it requires editing a file I dont have because I never got it to run

[warm smelt]

If you have a dedicated server that you cant connect but you're able to host one, chances are you're having the same issue I was.

[feral ether]

I need help rolling my server back to a previous world save. I have a dedicated game server provided by Nitrado, and no matter what I have tried I am unable to roll my game back to a previous save point.

Things I have tried:

1. I've deleted everything in the R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB_v2/0.10.0/Worlds/<World_ID_folder> directory, and then extracted the contents from each of the folders within one of the zip files found in R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB_v2_Backups into the World ID folder (long string of characters) in the first directory path. I then restart the game on my local machine and connect, but find it is just as it was when I closed the game; the world was not rolled back!
2. I have deleted the contents of the World ID folder, and also the zip file with 'Latest' in its name, and then renamed an earlier save file with the same name as the deleted 'Latest' zip file.
3. I have even gone full nuclear and restored the server from a Nitrado Server backup (this is a account(s) wide backup and not just the game). This backup was taken at 6 AM today, several hours prior to when I needed to rollback to, and still the game is at the same point where I left it after the incident that required the rollback.

I am at a total loss, what might I be missing, is there a save stored on my local machine that is getting uploaded to the server because it is more recent that what is on the server, this does not seem likely but I am at a loss for where else the save data is coming from.

My directory structure does not have/show a RocksDB directory as referenced by ChatGPT and GROK AI and when I tell them they just tell me their source of information is outdated...so not sure if the whole process they gave me is now outdated too; the only directories I have are the RocksDB_v2 and RocksDB_v2_Backup directories.

[rustic stream]

I can't get into my colleague's server. I'm stuck on the loading screen, even though I can hear sounds and move around in the game. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[twin compass]

Good evening, I have a question. I wanted to join a friend's dedicated server, and after a short loading time, I ended up on the game's main page. I should mention that I play on Shadow Cloud; I don't know if that's the problem? Thank you very much in advance for your answers.

[warm jasper]

New NVIDIA driver out and frame Gen looks better on other games. Might give it a try on Windrose but odds are we have to keep Smooth Motion for a good bit

[untold orbit]

cant join a dedicated server

[lofty basin]

Having a similar issue atm. Did you figure a fix out? We have both restarted pcs and game over and over.

[ruby valve]

is the dedicated server on ur network? or someone else's?

[rustic stream]

Try starting Solo World and then reconnect to your friends Server. Thats how it worked for me

[tender lotus]

hey my friend and i have a server together through the hoste menu, but now after reopening the game my server is gone!! any fix? my inventory is still saved and so is my skin.

[red jungle]

Are mouse keybinds supported? I tried to rebind dodge (left control) to a side mouse button and it isn't working in game. Tried to rebind it to another key just in case that was the issue and it still didn't work, I was able to confirm it worked outside of Windrose.

[hallow jacinth]

I have my dodge on mouse. Make sure the game folder isn't set to read only. If that fail run as admin

[static sequoia]

Game keeps jumping to screen 2 and then cannot do anything on it

[red jungle]

None of it worked unfortunately, appreciate it though

[restive relic]

Hello, I have problems with the game, it freezes when I fast travel to points and moments when I move around my house... Result I have to restart my computer.
For information, an RTX 5070 graphics card,
intel i7 14 gen

[sage maple]

@urban mason is there any plan to get the fatal error bug fixed? Tons of people reporting it at this point between reddit, discord and steam

[latent stag]

My buddy accidentally deleted our world and apparently his last steam cloud save was before may started. Anyway to get our world back?

[marsh hound]

I keep getting kicked back to the main menu every time I try to load into my friend's dedicated server. Verified game files and everything is fine, anyone know what I should do?

[cursive iron]

a lot of people are experiencing this as well, for me, I used a VPN to get in but it doesn't work 100% of the time.

[chrome gazelle]

I think switching to direct IP is the best way to fix it, the relay server doesn't work properly.

[marsh hound]

my buddy paused the server for about 3 minutes and restarted it and it fixed the issue

thanks for the advice though

[azure musk]

hey all i just got a server from gportal last week and today it stopped working. the server is online but no one can connect.

i tried to shut it down for a bit and start it up. people were able to connect for a bit but then it started happening again

is there a known issue with servers not working?

[fathom creek]

My friend says he doesnt want to do direct IP because its "slower" so I have to try and fix it from my side. Any solutions?

[amber bobcat]

My nitrado server, always goes to High Seas instead of Captains Choice where my buildings have been created in offline captain's choice. Nitrado is pointing to the correct world in server set up. When I connect to the server from the game, it's always going to high seas, is there a solution to this?

[sudden ocean]

change you server type in serverinfo.ini to custom

[stiff oyster]

This game's spamming the crap out of my event viewer with these errors. The second one I was able to look up the description and it seems all of these are from unreal engine. Also got a bunch of these saying "out of memory". And my game completely froze at one point for teleporting somewhere and I had to close it with task manager. I assume all of this is just a side effect of early access?

[foggy fern]

it's definitely not slower unless you live in different countries or something

[foggy fern]

a lock file is just a file to basically prevent multiple writes to the same location at the same time. It prevents two clients writing and having the written data "collide".
Can you show screenshot of the folders, both the parent and the world ID itself?

[foggy fern]

you can try a vpn but that adds more points of failure and potentially more lag but could make the connection work

Ultimately, the problem is on Nitrado and Windrose to fix.

[foggy fern]

Is your game world running on Nitrado or just a local world?
How much available RAM does your pc have?

[foggy fern]

you will have to raise this issue with gportal, we can't really solve issues for a server hosted from cloud providers without way more information and effort

[foggy fern]

recycle bin?

[stiff oyster]

32 gigs of ddr5 6000 RAM. 2 sticks, dual channel. Also it was my local world. I was running it on multiplayer.

This is the only game I've seen to have this issue too.

Palworld, for example, another game on Unreal Engine, does not have any of these issues. Starting to think it's just Windrose. Because early access.

[foggy fern]

Yeah, I am not sure. Your world isn't running on a different OS user?

[stiff oyster]

Wdym? Like, different OS profile? No, I only have one of those

aka the one I'm on

[foggy fern]

yeah that's what I meant. It was a long shot

[stiff oyster]

Ah okay. So should we just assume all of this was early access tomfoolery? Cause I did check, all of these eventview errors come back to specifically unreal engine.

like these are unreal engine errors.

[foggy fern]

can you check your appdata R5 folder and confirm your Player ID?
In one of the messages it has " C_2147....."

[stiff oyster]

lemme see. Where do I get that.

[foggy fern]

one sec, check the pinned posts in this channel, I will get it if you can't find it

[stiff oyster]

saveprofiles?

[foggy fern]

then RocksDB_v2\0.10.0\Players\

[stiff oyster]

I see CDECBBADAB5 whatever

[foggy fern]

yeah, it's not a match but that doesn't necessarily mean anything 🙁

[stiff oyster]

Maybe it was the other guy in my world?

[foggy fern]

maybe but if it's continuously firing the event then something has gone awry

definitely report it as a bug through official channel

[stiff oyster]

Yeah it was constantly firing all of these. Including out of memory and all that. Despite memory usage being stable.

Idk, I think it's unreal engine being unreal engine and this game not being optimized well

Idk how I would make a bug report tho. Would ALL of these go in the same report?

[foggy fern]

yeah it is effectively an entity firing an event and the subscriber expecting that entity to be found

[stiff oyster]

or do I report each one differently?

[stiff oyster]

So some entity wasn't being found when firing off something

[foggy fern]

I would do them together because they are somewhat related to a publisher/subscriber pattern being noisy and potentially causing memory allocation without then cleaning up after itself.

[stiff oyster]

understood.

[foggy fern]

basically, without the source code I can't really say with any amount of certainty the exact issue

[hushed egret]

Does anyone know about this log? this log does repeat every 5 min.

[foggy fern]

build as in character or structures?

need to point your serverdescription.json to the right world ID

check pinned messages

[amber bobcat]

@sudden ocean I've tried pretty much every, checking everything in .Json server description, checking config files, .Json saved world.. checked it all over and over again, still defaults the server to high seas instead of Captains Choice world name.

[ember isle]

I am having dedicated server issues since the last patch.

My server is fine after a restart, but after it’s been up for a while, nobody new can join and anyone who leaves can’t get back in. It just sends them back to the main menu. People already online can usually stay in.

Restarting the server fixes it for a bit, then it happens again later.

We’re on Apex and already tried different nodes/IPs. We also enabled Direct IP in the JSON config:

UseDirectConnection = true
DirectConnectionServerAddress = our server IP
DirectConnectionServerPort = 7777
DirectConnectionProxyAddress = 0.0.0.0

[lethal sage]

im trying to reconnect into a server im hosting but it sends me directly back to the main menu, does someone know how to fix it?? its rlly bothering me cause i just bought this game a couple of hours ago it worked for the first session but now me and my friend are trying to get back to it and it just doesnt connect

[manic mulch]

if useing invite code - and not working - try direct ip setting on host server and use ip /port to connect

[surreal bloom]

The game cannot be started!

[swift umbra]

If anyone else uses Portainer and a headless image, please dm me. I have a couple questions regarding setup xmx (password is not working for some reason)

[earnest dew]

Anyone here able to help me with migrating a server from p2p to dedicated (Nitrado)?

Every hosting site seems to auto-generate new worlds instead of loading mine - tried loads of workarounds

[upper crystal]

This is what happens to me when I have Direct COnnection on and try to use the invite code I set. I would like to see a little more error messaging when connection fails. I would also love to see the ability to use both network paths simultaneously but I don't know what the network code looks like in this game. My use case is that I host the server locally for some friends and when I have the invite code on I can't connect (I assume some kind of hairpin nat issue with the proxy servers, so I need to use direct IP, but people outside would rather have an easy invite code.

[sterile elk]

Does anyone have an issue with their server shutting down if no players are on for a period of time?

I host on a dedicated machine. Server has no issues. No other servers I run on the machine are affected. It is solely the WINDROSE server shutting off after a period of inactivity.

[river mango]

how can i upload my world on an online server? someone know?

[mental gazelle]

My friend keeps getting kicked off everytime he trys to connect to my world we played for hours yesterday no problem but today he cant even log into my world for longer then 10 seconds

[digital drift]

Typically this is just from a quirky bug in the servers pipe when loading saves - Try instead of uploading the RocksDB_v2 path, uploading the full SaveProfiles dir ~ Alternatively, you can upload (and rename) RocksDB_v2 -> RocksDB; which also has been seen to get it to load correctly on boot

Always best to give the support team a holler whether on us, Nitrado, or otherwise 🙂

[eternal atlas]

Are there any known issues with Survival Servers at this time? I have been unable to connect to our dedicated server hosted by them, since about 11:00 p.m. Eastern time last night.

[latent geyser]

I have this issue as well, no idea what causes it

[amber bobcat]

@river mango there are a few online tutorials. I can get inworld on my character but I can't get it to load the world with my base in. So good luck if that's what you are trying to do.

[river mango]

but i have no files that sad saves or smth, so how do i find my save file?

im just trying to find the save from my world so i can upload it on an online server that im buying yk

[amber bobcat]

@river mango ok then you need the path on your machine to the files, I'm not at my desk right now otherwise I would paste it. You want windrose R5 directory then keep going down past 0.10.0 folder until you find saved and world's. Sorry I can be exact I'm on my phone.

[river mango]

there is no 0.10.0 folder on my files

[amber bobcat]

@river mango did you find R5?

[river mango]

there is no 0.10.0 files or smth

ofc i found R5

but not what i was searching for :C

[amber bobcat]

Ok well the files are at the bottom of that directory tree .. they are long hexadecimal numbered files, 15 minutes I will be at my machine and send you the path.

[sterile elk]

Glad I'm not the only one. It's manageable, but mildly annoying when I'm at the office and people are asking for it to be started again 😅

[river mango]

i gopt it

[digital drift]

Best bet is contacting their team! I did see some mentions of Windrose+ being a cause, though I thought that was fixed. Could try disabling that? If memory serves its installed by default on their platform

[amber bobcat]

@river mango great

[digital drift]

Past that, always best to opt to holler @ their support - if its known, you get told; if its broken, they help fix 👀

hopefully, anyway

[digital drift]

Any specific inactive time (like after 12 hours of playtime, and 3 hours of inactive)? Looking across a few hundred servers (just grabbed a random batch) their uptime isnt showing any sort of random crash when idle 🤔 Past that, is the server in a container? Is it running out of memory per chance; or hitting a mem access viol from a stick or somethin?

I have enough per server data in front of me I may be able to go "Yep this is a bug, report it" - but as is I dont see this across any im looking at 😭

[amber bobcat]

@river mango are you just trying to your saved worlds, there are a few things to watch out for, I can't load my world into the server only the character and his level.

[solid totem]

myu exact issue any resolutions yet?

did we manage to figure out the server map load issues yet? i have done everything i can think to do and cant seem to resolve the issue of getting my 300 hour map to load

[shell stirrup]

Just curious, as for our profiles folder, are we to delete the RocksDB folder now that RocksDB_v2 has taken over save tracking/storing?

[tender zodiac]

Is the Windrose "Solo/Offline" game mode not working?

[charred scroll]

It's working fine here

[clear violet]

Yoo so ive got a server with Nitrado, but for some reason i legit just cannot join it
ive stopped it, restarted it, just cannot join it for some reason.
Every time i stop the server and start it again it keeps saying theres a new update and its updating

[azure musk]

Has anyone experienced this error in the server log files? It seems to be crashing the server.

[stoic warren]

unfotunately, this game is unplayable for me

[tame shore]

Why does my dedicated server start two 'worlds' even when I delete the folders for the world we don't play on? I only have the world starting with D09DB in the ServerDescription.json file

[violet verge]

I have a ultra i9 and a 5070 in my gaming laptop. I run fine on solos but when I try and join my friends progressed world with the game loads and loads and then just closes or throws me back in the main menu. Sometimes I can hear birds and the ocean like I spawned but I keep getting stuck on the loading screen and then the game just closes

[tender zodiac]

Windrose. Fix your game.

[mental scaffold]

No, do not delete anything, it could break your world.

[mental scaffold]

Did you follow the instructions in the pinned thread regarding map loading issues?

[steady edge]

Hi! Where is the pinned file? I just want my old map back ..

[warm jasper]

I got around to testing and frame generation, at least Nvidia's, is still bad for Windrose. Like game won't load up etc.

[hallow canopy]

Got an issue with a build piece. The large fountain is not lined up. And cannot be corrected. I’ve tried a few different ways and it still comes out off center. Not sure if it’s just a my game issue or wider problem.

[daring walrus]

experiencing serious lagging tonight, checked my internet speed- it appears to be a game malfunction. Anyone else?

[sand violet]

Has any one had the load screen freeze up. every time i select my character and try to load in tit just freezes. Also on MP mode it just boots me out of the load screen. Iv deleted and reloaded the game and checked game files. no luck

[fervent copper]

The game seems to be crashing a lot when alt tabbing after the auto save update. When I look at the event viewer after the crash it's full of out of memory errors. Any thoughts?

[daring walrus]

I am having the same issues @sand violet and @fervent copper. While loading, it takes a few attempts to get things going, or it will load in and be frozen at spawn point. I have also noticed with crashing, I lose everything that was in my current inventory.

[sand violet]

I just dont want to have to start a new character

[fervent copper]

I haven't lost anything, and it seems like the game seems to run ok for a few minutes after the first load. But after 10 minutes it starts running worse and worse. and if I try alt-tabbing, it crashes

[sand violet]

i dont even get in. Just freezes while in the load screen

im guessing there is no direct support ??

[daring walrus]

when you deleted the game, did you also delete the associated folders within your system?

[sand violet]

ya i deleted everything

[daring walrus]

I don't think so, I was just going to stick to the send-a-message-in-the-thread-and-pray method

[stiff oyster]

@foggy fern hey btw, wanted to update you rq. I was playing by myself and did not get any eventview errors or anything like what I got before

So I definitely think SOMETHING in my lobby with my buddy went haywire

cause everything's working fine right now.

[weak knoll]

Is there like a cashe or something I need to delete? My offline world wont load anymore. I can play on my server just fine. The world appears, but the game freezes when I load it up.

[ashen kettle]

I need a wizard, I've successfully uploaded a saved local host world to the server following the video that Rabbi has on youtube. Interesting thing is that the saved world date in the file folder is the correct date and time however the world loads in a state that was saved over a week ago. Any ideas?

[weak knoll]

If I delete this folder will I lose my Character?

I dont care about the solo world, just want to keep the character

[zenith geyser]

One of my players messaged me this, is there a way to clear items? I do have windrose+

[visual rivet]

Hey. I have a ubuntu server i have installed Steam on to run the steam version of dedicated server.
I created a new steam user so i don't have to mix mine up with the server.
But the dedicated client is not showing up in the tools section as it normally do. Many other tools show up though.
Do i have to own the main game for it to show up or something?

[white ledge]

Finally fixed my fatal error on launch problem. Had to get an OLDER update of my driver the current one fucks the game.

[stoic nymph]

is there a way to rollback to a cloud save from earlier today? I connected to a server that had 1.5 times xp and now my char wont load into anything

anybody having issues with their 5050? game keeps crashing. Ive tried a million things to fix it and nothing at this point.

[frozen echo]

crashing at what point ?

[brittle flicker]

can some one help me cuz when i try to move save file but when i do it the save is from like 10 days ago

on server

on my own maschine

[brittle flicker]

Its working thx bro

[fervent belfry]

it depends sometimes at 17 min, 40, 5.....

it might be an nvidia driver issue so idk if i should just go back to an older one

[stoic nymph]

AI is kinda amazing, after talking to an AI for a couple of hours I found the solution my self

[lethal light]

Is there any way to edit autosave timer? Dedicated server says it creates backup every 1 minute... I would like to change it maybe to 5

[swift umbra]

Does anyone know if there's a way to boost resource Regen? My players are feeling the constriction of resource gathering

[misty cypress]

So I tried to add a mod on my server for the game and now it just gets to the loading screen for the server and then game crashes. Anyone know what is going on?

I deleted the mod but it still crashes the game when trying to reach the server

[frozen echo]

have nvidia too latest version. no issues

but i have 5070 not 5050

[frozen echo]

the devs mentioned to NOT use mods because it can lead to corrupted files. If u do anyway nobody can help u.

[frozen echo]

dont know about that. what i know if its correct is that the ingame backups have a 10 min interval

[dim agate]

Does anyone know why Max Player is stuck at 3 even though I change it to 5?

[misty cypress]

The mod was working fine untill i updated it. Butt now the game crashes when connecting to the server.

in offline mode its fine

[frozen echo]

well if u worked on the mod its up to u to find the issue ? imagine a dev here would ask US about their problems ^^

[misty cypress]

ooh man yeah imagine that

[tender zodiac]

Why is the Solo Game play not working?

[outer girder]

its the same issue ive had for 2 weeks, i didnt use mods just unable to actually load into a server so i doubt its the mod if you have removed it

[misty cypress]

This game is buggy as hell

[outer girder]

yeah it is 🤣

[devout inlet]

its working .. at least for me

[ashen kettle]

Do I need to move more than just my world over to the server then? Im having the exact same problem

[ashen kettle]

what was your solution? My server is doing the exact same thing

[brittle flicker]

U need to copy backup

[frozen echo]

yeah maybe ask him cause i never got that problem. he might be able to give u more detail about the process to fix it

[ashen kettle]

okay move it over as well?

[brittle flicker]

yep

[ashen kettle]

okay Trying it now thanks for the help

[rose crane]

does anyone have a issue with windrose settings constantly changing when they re lauch the game. mine goes from window borderless to full screen and random settings like global illumination to low and anti aliasing to epic ect. is it just me or is this a known issue?

[ashen kettle]

moved over the back up, and deleted every other file in that folder and the RocksDB_v2 folder, they only have the saved game that I want to load and it's still doing the same thing not really sure why it isnt loading the most current from last night

looks like every back up on my pc is dated the 3rd while the last saved game is from the 14th

[solid totem]

I have tried this no luck the map is just gone at this point. ive accepted this and will start over i guess

[uneven rivet]

can you see your own suggestions on the support site? i posted mine, it said it was posted. yet its been around an hour and i still dont see it

[mental scaffold]

The game and Dedicated server are windows only, so unless you're running it in Wine, you won't see it in steam.

[harsh vigil]

Hi all, newb here and sorry if this is parked in the wrong channel. We have a hosted server (indifferent broccoli) and none of our players can connect. It just kicks back to the main menu. Tried windows update, verifying game files in steam, a hundred restarts, clicking "force relay connection", re-entering invite codes, everything we can think of. Can you point me in the right direction?

Also tried direct connection via IP, no dice. Any tips would be appreciated as we have a crew of 8 people unable to connect!

[bright token]

do you have a vpn active?

[harsh vigil]

negative!

[median crane]

i boot the game and load my offline game and the game just gets stuck on loading can anyone help?

[dense flare]

Ugh, I too am having the stuck-on-loading-screen thing happening today.

[old oracle]

Is there a way through console command to reset the world seed for a server without wiping?

[jaunty tide]

You can dig into the logs, but it's probably a bad P2pProxyAddress setting. Try setting network_mode: host instead of using the ports directive in the docker-compose file.

[misty cypress]

Im starting to hate this game. This is about the third time I have lost my damn progress. Unless someone can help im quiting.

[visual rivet]

I was doing it on windows.

[pearl pollen]

Are you using Alt f4 or something to quit the game ?

[pearl pollen]

The fix is simple: force the game to create the new save directory
Do this:

1. Close the game completely
   Make sure it’s not running in the background.

2. Run Steam as Administrator
   Right‑click Steam → Run as administrator

3. Launch Windrose from Steam (NOT a shortcut)

Try this

[misty cypress]

no, its the damn file pathing that is making me mad. I dont know how many new game files this thing has made, but its a lot

[misty cypress]

trying now

when doing this i get these messages.

then it shows me my actual character, then game crashes.

well, i quit.

[tight otter]

anyone having issues login to their game ... mine keeps failing to load

[misty cypress]

yep! been having that problem since yesterday

[fickle fable]

I keep getting the error "DirectX 12 is not supported on your system. Try running without the -dx12 or -d3d12 command line argument." when launching from Steam. I've tried everything from launch options to updating drivers.

[drowsy ether]

i have tried everything under the sun to get this game to not freeze when i hit confirm character and no matter what its just screwed, i cant even play the game anymore

[glacial garden]

when i load in to a sever it just kicks me back to menu or quits the game

[cold holly]

Is there an issue with dedicated servers where one person gets kicked repeatedly? Yesterday everything worked fine. Today I can't go 3 minutes without being kicked.

[jagged jolt]

trying to find my game save so i can copy it and put it on a diff pc. seen some videos on yt but i havent figured it out. anyone able to help out?

[signal yarrow]

anybody got a fix to this because this is getting really really freaking old

[frozen echo]

Is the seed not necessary for the world ?

[feral bough]

Someone know how to fix a corrupted charakter (last backup is like 3 weeks old) yesterday everything works fine and today his charakter is crashed

Basically the crew had an idea.. that once we get our frigates, going with a new seed, so as to be able to explore the world anew all over again.. but now with all ships.

[frozen echo]

Hmm why not just creating a new world ? Your progress is cha bond so u cant open chests again or sth.

Or am i understanding sth completely wrong ? 😅

[old rover]

There used to be a pinned comment explaining how to copy our local world to a dedicated server. I cannot locate it. Can someone point me to that please? Ty

[flint kernel]

I cant join my partners game anymore. It jsut freezes on the loading screen. We jhsut tried several times but it always freezes and the loading doesnt continue. The ship spawns in but i dont.

[old rover]

Having same issue

[old oracle]

I'm renting a server so I'm not sure how to do that

[flint kernel]

onm thsi try where we decided to jksut leave the games running hoping for progress, i now have blackscreen for a few minutes already

[old oracle]

have you tried verifying files?

[flint kernel]

I think so? I ll try that and the restart

Verified, let’s see what happens

4 minutes in, still stuck on loading screen

14 minutes in, stuck

[old rover]

yeah same

i restarted my server same issue

[manic bough]

Hey guys, I really need your help!!!

I’m hosting the world for two friends and me. I can start the world without any problems. But as soon as my friends try to join, the game crashes on the loading screen. Does anyone know what I can do about this? We’re all level 11 now, and starting over isn’t an option.

[small compass]

Hello since yesterday, I can not log to my server anymore.

After loading either the game crash or I go back to the home menu

I am using Docker to run the server and I see these logs

[livid glacier]

Stuck at loading screen after selecting my character and server

I’ll try what you guys are saying

[flat trout]

Is there a way to initate the server to clean up items left in the world? Like random items and such?

Maybe an RCON command, or setting somehow to perform clean up on boot?

[livid glacier]

Oh well it is still doing the same thing. I guess ill wait until it magically works another day haha

[wooden rivet]

Me and my friends have a server and i was helping my wife try to defeat Hands but then I crashed and every since then I have not been able to get into the server. I've spent over 100 hours in the server and i dont want to lose anything. We've restarted the server multiple times but no dice. I created a new character and was able to load in, so it's just my main character. Please Help. I'm level 15.

[dark furnace]

have you tried loading your lvl 15 character into any other servers?

[wooden rivet]

Regular servers yes. But bought and paid for servers no.

[open willow]

my game crashes every 20min and lose stuff of my inventory

[amber bobcat]

I've been try during the week to load my offline world (my building) and I get my character and level across, my frigate and contents, but no world items, it occurred to me that maybe this can't actually be done because it would allow to double resources between server and offline. Has anybody managed this?

Server, character, game and game level all fine just can't transfer the offline build.

[orchid drift]

Hey folks. Been running a steamcmd server, and trying to alter the settings, but every time the server starts, the settings revert to default. Any way to fix that?

[edgy roost]

I'm having the same issue but no one else on the server is. It started out of the blue and can't find the issue

Related but no solution. I get that too... I join my own dedicated server that's hosted on another machine via LAN and I get repeatedly kicked/crash to desktop or worse one yet, my initial crash led me to bluescreen and corrupted my Windows to the point of no return.

I've since reinstalled everything but I'm still facing the issue of being kicked every few mins because the server somehow remembers me by ID, not by IP/local IP. Creating a new character and joining the same server does not work.

[raw parcel]

Need help, cant enter my nitrado server, i try everything nitrado and windrose recomend and still cant enter. Theres something more to do?

[still trail]

I've done this twice, when the server had issues, to host for my friends. sounds ike you're not getting anything across though

because your char, poi progress, level, ships, ship inventory, and inventory are all stored locally. none of that is on the server.

[livid glacier]

I still get stuck at the loading screen even after trying every single "fix" imaginable

[woeful gazelle]

Hey Spice whats the issue?

[livid glacier]

I just figured it out from someone else who had the same issue

I hosted my server instead of offline and it worked

Idk why that is

[woeful gazelle]

Oh lmao

well hey at least its working

[unique kelp]

is this game still excessively writing to SSDs lol

[woeful gazelle]

No and also it honestly wasn't really before, it was blown up by people for engagement lmao

Yes it ran a little heavier on ssds but it was never going to do any legit damage

either way that issue has been patched

[marsh glen]

<@&1354821664998817822> 👍🏼

[cinder eagle]

Dedicated server won't load for anyone to be able to join. Have updated and restarted through indifferent broccoli a few times now but no resolution. Any help is greatly appreciated.

[dense sail]

I have an issue that has started happening recently after updating both the game and my NVIDIA drivers, I launch the game the screen comes up black starts loading the game and then exits with no crash error or any notification, looking in the logs I'm seeing a lot of errors about code but nothing specific other than "failed to compute pipeline with hash"

[marsh glen]

Rollback your Nvidia drivers

[dense sail]

I did some research and found the error is caused by shader complile mismatch, is there a location where the compiled shaders are stored in UE/Windrose to delete them to allow the game to compile new shaders?

It appears that they are rendered on the fly, so it looks like the game just doesn't support 596.49 yet, I'll stick with the 595.97 in which it worked previously.

[modest trout]

wierd question, anyone elses hotspot temps on their GPU just sky high? i know its not my card bc i just redid the thermal paste and pads. it works fine on other games but this one its just 110c on the hotspot if im looking at my base

[lean maple]

switch to a more balanced engine.ini

[modest trout]

XD

so just unreal slop 5 things got it

[lean maple]

yeh openup engine.ini on your appdata >local>r5>windows>config

and tweak the heal of it

giving less acces to Vmemory

[echo saddle]

Fun fact u can go past 30 gonna try 60

[lean maple]

Game set to high priority and give them all cpu cores minus one helped a ton to get decent frames and stability

[modest trout]

im not seeing that in my appdata folder... R5 is there but not windows>config

[lean maple]

[modest trout]

thats all i got in mine...

[lean maple]

copy paste mine made for an 2050 nvidia laptop

[modest trout]

let me try it, im on a 6900 XT

there are no clouds anymore XD

[lean maple]

high

[lean maple]

cpu afinnity -1 core

yeah thats my test just delete
Fog=0

now listen i got on my second pc

an 6600

and unreal engine Shaders are hard on my gpu

set them low on game settings

[modest trout]

it is set to low and FPS capped to 60...

[lean maple]

i duno why sea shaders are so hard on radeon gpus

but on nvidia are diferent even on my weaker 2050

this little rascal 2050 can run sea shaders on 4gbs vram highest preset

and the Radeon with 8gbs vram struggles like kido

[modest trout]

yeah idk why unreal 5 is so hard on AMD cards

was hoping maybe something changed

[lean maple]

bajo = low
alto=high

[lean maple]

i seen this happened when stalker 2 released

it killed my veteran SSD and fumbled my 6500xt

nanites and lumen

are why

shaders are calculated on demand

constantly

and if you not set to unreal engine 5 a stop on resources , it consumes memory like its a buffet

[modest trout]

epic needs to just fix unreal 5 or make unreal 6 more stable

[lean maple]

unreal 5 games are dangerous to hardware if resources consuption arent capped its more like some devs dont read documentation and assume everyone has 32 gbs of dr5 ram and 24 gbs vrams

unreal 5 even has some phone or mobile optimizations native

used in fortnite for android

so the engine its great

but needs lots of tweaks

did your gpu temps got stable??

remember to disable - Smart fans on amd drivers

always do an customized curve for fans

[ebon vortex]

do we know anything about troubleshooting r5check

or why there is lag/desync on dedicated servers on lan

[silk solstice]

I'm still trying to figure out why I am crashing to desktop

sent a support ticket 4 days ago

no response

[versed fractal]

did your SSD die completely where it was unusable? I've had so many issues with the game and my ssd had come up with an error... in the middle of RMA but ever since I wiped the drive, that same error hasn't come back.

[flint kernel]

Can they please fix this annoying problem of the infinite loading screen when trying to join

[balmy cradle]

i used to not have the infinite loading screen issue, but ever since i moved, i do now.. is there any fix to this? i see many people saying they have this issue, but i see no fixes..

[flint kernel]

I see non either and it’s frustrating. This is game breaking!

[balmy cradle]

i do eventually get into the game.. but it takes many many many tries and doing things and we never quite know what it is that we did that helped.. as it jsut comes back everytime 😅

[flint kernel]

What are the things you tried?

[balmy cradle]

not much other then restarting my game in frustration and eventually when my friend gets sick of waiting he tries to restart his game (as i join on his world) and like today, then it worked

but no idea if him restarting helped, or if me restarting many times helped 😅

[remote atlas]

are you connecting to a local server on your home network?

[balmy cradle]

no, my friend and i are in different countries from another. i used to be able to connect to him no issue at all. and then now i get the loading screen thing every time we want to play

[remote atlas]

Tell him to check firewall settings, his router firewall to allow the server ports - are you able to connect to any other server?
