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

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

is it a vanila windows dedicated server?

pine jetty May 5, 2026, 4:59 PM

#

Yes, it is a vanilla windows dedicated server that I run on a separate machine. We had no issues with the server running on May 3rd 2026. After I took it down May 4th for updates, it has since had this error that just repeats. I have uninstalled, deleted local files, reinstalled, brought in old saves and still the error

Of course, launched from dedicated steam launcher and same error

do you see the problem looping in the server's console?

it looks like you are launching dedicated server from within the game's folder:

not the native dedicated server instalation path...can you try launching from the original sedicated server instalation path?

while i'm on it, can you try installing the dedicated server on your other machine (the one you play from), put the save in there and try to connect to it?

pine jetty May 5, 2026, 8:10 PM

#

Sounds good, will do right now\

tiny tulip May 5, 2026, 8:18 PM

#

the confusing part is that according to the log everything shuld be fine, the eeror says that it takes longer time to create backup... but It was still successful, have you tried connecting to the server in it's current state?

pine jetty May 5, 2026, 8:24 PM

#

I have the dedicated server running on my gaming computer and it doesn't have the error, however I am trying to connect to the server and it's just stuck on the in game loading screen

#

That's also what I thought, it looked like everything was still fine even if it was taking a while, but my other players and I couldn't see the server last night in the game

I found it manually in my appdata

Should I just nuke my server PC? Uninstall the game/server, wipe folders, and start from scratch??

Using the save back file from this chat?

your save is fine, both world and cahracter everything is good

Yes, I can host and run a game

tiny tulip May 5, 2026, 9:09 PM

can you make sure that you placed the save file to the dedicated server correctly? and changed the serverdescription .json?

because it looks liek the game is tryign to load you a world with a differnt ID, not the one from teh save

Yes, I have placed the save file in the correct location.

I have the dedicated server PC running now and I am able to join, but no matter the corrections I make to the .json file it makes a new world save

Can you create an empty RocksDB folder in Default folder, so it looks like this:

#

check serverdescription and try again

pine jetty May 5, 2026, 9:26 PM

#

Made the folder, checked and corrected the WorldID in the serverdescription, ran the server, loads, creates a new world and changes the WorldID

#

I can actually make the correction in the .json load the server, check the .json again and its changed to a new world ID

tiny tulip May 5, 2026, 9:40 PM
