V Rising 1.0: Dedicated Server Setup Guide

Setting up a V Rising server enables a persistent world where your clan can grow, build, and conquer regardless of who is online. Following the 1.0 full release, the setup process has been streamlined, but correct port and save-data management remain critical.

1. Fast Deployment

Skip the manual SteamCMD grind. Rent a V Rising 1.0 server with Supercraft for instant setup, automated backups, and 100% NVMe performance.

2. Ports Required

Game Port: 9876 (UDP)
Query Port: 9877 (UDP)
Ensure these are forwarded in your router and allowed in your firewall (UFW/Windows Firewall).

Manual Setup via SteamCMD

If you prefer hosting on your own hardware, use SteamCMD to download the latest server binaries:

steamcmd +force_install_dir ./vrising_server +login anonymous +app_update 1829350 validate +quit

Critical Configuration Files

V Rising settings are split between two JSON files. In 1.0, these are typically found in the -persistentDataPath you specify during launch:

File Name Primary Purpose
ServerHostSettings.jsonNetwork info, RCON, Server Name, Password, and Save Slots.
ServerGameSettings.jsonDifficulty, Clan size, Loot rates, and PVP schedules.

Example Host Configuration (1.0)

{
  "Name": "Supercraft Vampire Kingdom",
  "Description": "High speed 1.0 server",
  "MaxConnectedUsers": 40,
  "SaveName": "Vardoran_Main",
  "Rcon": {
    "Enabled": true,
    "Port": 25575,
    "Password": "StrongPassword"
  }
}

Running the Server (Linux & Windows)

Important: Never run the server without a -persistentDataPath. If you don't specify one, your saves will be lost if the server binaries are updated via SteamCMD.

Launch Command:

./VRisingServer.exe -persistentDataPath "./save-data" -serverName "MyServer" -saveName "Vardoran"

V Rising 1.0 Setup FAQ

  • How do I change the game mode? In ServerGameSettings.json, you can select presets like StandardPvP, HardcorePvP, or StandardPvE.
  • Where are the save files? They are located in your specified persistent path under Saves/v1/[SaveName].
  • Does 1.0 require more RAM? It is recommended to have at least 8GB of RAM for servers with 20+ active players to prevent "rubber-banding" during castle sieges.

Rule the night with premium power. Deploy your V Rising server on Supercraft and experience the lowest ping for high-stakes 1.0 combat.
