Moving from a client or another host? Upload your save folder yourself through the panel file manager, into the server's Saves folder. Start the server with a matching world name and leave the game settings preset empty so it does not override your copied settings.

Briefing
About V Rising server hosting
V Rising's dedicated server is its own Steam app, separate from the game: AppID 1829350 for the server and 1604030 for the client. Stunlock Studios keeps separate dedicated server instructions for each version of the game, with 1.1.x as the current one on PC and PS5, and says the server is Windows-only for now. EZ Game Host plans cover 20 players on Standard and 40 on Pro and Premium, with a name and world you set at checkout.
Settings live in ServerHostSettings.json and ServerGameSettings.json, loaded as overrides from a Settings folder. Name, password, player limit, listing on Steam or EOS, a game settings preset such as StandardPvP and a difficulty preset all sit in the host file. Stunlock gives 128 as the technically supported player maximum. Admins are added by SteamID in adminlist.txt, then run adminauth in the in-game console.
Saves go in a Saves folder next to the settings. The server rotates autosaves with AutoSaveCount and AutoSaveSmartKeep, and Stunlock strongly recommends your own backups, especially before and after patching. A client save can be moved to a server by copying its session folder into Saves/v4 and starting with -saveName. Stunlock publishes no RAM or CPU figure for the server.

Setup
How to set up a V Rising dedicated server
You can run the server yourself or let EZ Game Host run it for you. Here is what each path involves.
With EZ Game Host
- Choose V Rising and a plan sized for your group.
- Name your server and pick its game options and region at checkout.
- Pay, and the server deploys automatically with 3 backup slots ready.
- Share the server address with friends and manage everything from the panel.
Self-hosting on your own machine
- Download the V Rising Dedicated Server with SteamCMD, AppID 1829350, from the default branch. It is Windows-only.
- Copy start_server_example.bat and edit the copy, and set -persistentDataPath so settings and saves live in a folder you choose.
- Set Name, Password, MaxConnectedUsers, GameSettingsPreset and SaveName in ServerHostSettings.json.
- Open the game and query ports in your firewall and router. Both are needed to show up in the server list.
- Add your SteamID to adminlist.txt, then enable the console in the options menu and run adminauth.
- Stop the server and rerun the download to update, and copy the Saves folder off the machine as a backup before and after patches.
V Rising server ports
| Port | Protocol | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| 27015 | UDP | Game port, the Port setting (Stunlock's example value) |
| 27016 | UDP | Query port for the Steam server list, the QueryPort setting (example value) |
On EZ Game Host the ports are opened for you, so there is no router setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I choose when I order a V Rising server?
You name your server, name your world (the save name), set the maximum number of players and, if you like, add a password. Passwords use letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores.
Which plan should my clan pick?
Standard has 8GB of RAM and 20 player slots. Pro has 16GB and 40 slots, and Premium has 32GB and 40 slots. Plans start at Standard because 8GB is the smallest size we offer for V Rising.
Can I edit the game settings?
Yes. Open the panel file manager to reach your server's settings files, where the game settings preset, difficulty preset and other rules are set. Stop the server before editing and restart it afterwards.
Can I switch between PvE and PvP?
The server loads a game settings preset, and you can change it in your settings files through the file manager. Back up your save before you switch, since the rules your clan built under will change.
Can I turn on RCON?
No, RCON stays disabled on our V Rising servers. You get the panel console for running server commands instead.
What ports does a V Rising server use?
Stunlock's instructions use two UDP ports as examples: a game port (27015) and a query port (27016) for the Steam server list. Both must be open for the server to show up in the list, while the game port alone is enough for direct connections. EZ Game Host opens the ports for you.
How much RAM does a V Rising server need?
Stunlock does not publish a figure for the dedicated server. The Steam page lists 12GB for the game client, which is a different thing. EZ Game Host plans start at Standard with 8GB and go up to Pro (16GB) and Premium (32GB).
Can I move my existing V Rising save to the server?
Yes. Stunlock documents it: copy the session folder from your client's CloudSaves or Saves folder into the server's Saves/v4 folder and start with -saveName set to match. Leave GameSettingsPreset empty. On EZ Game Host you upload the folder yourself through the panel file manager.
