V Rising: Auto Save Configuration
V Rising servers save the game state automatically. However, the default settings might be too infrequent for a busy server, or they might not keep enough historical copies for you to roll back a "griefing" incident.
1. The Interval
AutoSaveInterval controls how often the server pauses to write data to the disk to the /Saves/ folder.
2. The Count
AutoSaveCount determines how many backup files are kept before the oldest one is deleted. Keep this high!
3. The Lag
Saving causes a momentary "lag spike" or freeze on lower-end servers. Finding the balance between safety and performance is key.
Recommended Settings
Option A: High Traffic (Active PvP)
If you have many players raiding, you want frequent saves to prevent progress loss from a crash.
- **Interval:**
600(10 Minutes) - **Count:**
50(Keeps last 8 hours of gameplay)
Option B: Low Traffic (PvE/Co-op)
For chill building servers where crashes are rare.
- **Interval:**
1800(30 Minutes) - Reduces stutter. - **Count:**
20
How to Edit Save Settings
- Stop the Server.
- Go to **File Manager** -> `ServerHostSettings.json`.
- Locate the lines:
"AutoSaveCount": 50, "AutoSaveInterval": 600, - **Note:** The interval value is in **SECONDS**.
- 120 = 2 Minutes
- 600 = 10 Minutes
- 3600 = 1 Hour
- Save and Restart.
Manual Saves
As an admin, you can force a save at any time (e.g., before shutting down or updating) by opening the console (~) and typing:
saveWarning: Never set the interval lower than 60 seconds. This will cause constant disk writing and severe server lag.
Safe blood. Host your V Rising server with Supercraft and enjoy automated off-site backups in addition to these local auto-saves.
