Not sure what the deal is. Issue is what the title says. Sometimes its instant, sometmes I get a few minutes of play time. This started occuring after a friend and I played a few hours last night with me hosting the world. Any advice would be appreciated.

Good day @spring halo

just a quick question, are you hosting through the game right? not a dedicated server?

can I ask, when you play is it the game crashes to desktop, or you get disconnected and end up in main menu?

spring halo
#

Sometimes it is a kick to menu sometimes it is a CTD.

#

Played for hours solo/offline without issue

can you see if you can connect if your friend hosts and if it is working okay for you? (just to double check)

spring halo
#

Not at the moment, will have to wait about 8 hours.

When you have time, can you please send me your logs please, so our team could investigate furhter

BUG REPORTING GUIDE

Please share your game logs, game saves, crash dumps, and DxDiag. These are essential for diagnosing and fixing bugs.

HOW TO FIND LOGS

Game logs are located here:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\Logs

Server logs are located here:
R5\Builds\WindowsServer\R5\Saved\Logs

To get there, open Steam, find Windrose in your library, right-click it, then go to Manage → Browse local files. From there, archive the files in the Logs folder and share them with us.

Please name your logs in a way that describes the problem, for example: Crashedwhile_fighting_Dodo.log

HOW TO FIND SAVES

Your saves are located here:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles
Please close the game before archiving your saves!

If you are playing on a dedicated server:
• Stop both the client and the dedicated server.
• Find and archive your server logs and world save.

Dedicated server logs are located here:
R5\Saved\Logs

Dedicated server saves are located here:
R5\Saved\SaveProfiles

To get there, open Steam, find Windrose Dedicated Server in your library, right-click it, then go to Manage → Browse local files (or go to the folder where your Windrose Dedicated Server is stored).

Please close the dedicated server before archiving your saves.

HOW TO FIND CRASH DUMPS

If crashes are involved, please share crash dumps:

Game client dumps (if play offline)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Local\R5\Saved\Crashes
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Local\R5\.sentry-native

Server dumps (if you self-host from game client)
SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Windrose\R5\Builds\WindowsServer\R5\.sentry-native
SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Windrose\R5\Builds\WindowsServer\R5\Saved\Crashes

Dedicated server dumps
Windrose Dedicated Server\R5\.sentry-native
Windrose Dedicated Server\R5\Saved\Crashes

HOW TO FIND DXDIAG

Please also include your DxDiag report. This is your PC specifications in .txt format:

• Press Win + R.
• Type dxdiag and press Enter.
• When the tool opens, click Save All Information.
• Save the .txt file and attach it to your report.

Any additional screenshots and/or videos are HIGHLY appreciated!

Not on windows running linux. Im just going to see about getting the game refunded. Seems like even in early access it too broken.

quiet cliff

I understand sir. Very sorry that you have encountered issues with the game and was not able to play it propperly. Very sorry about that.

spring halo
#

Yep. Was extremely excited for Windrose from early online hype and then the demo, but its actually awful. The experience I wanted isnt stable and make the one feature I wanted unplayable. If steam doesnt refund me I will be seeking a refund through other means.

We are also working on a linux compatible client but it could take some time sir. I understnad.
