V Rising: Uploading & Migrating Worlds

Transferring a **V Rising** world from your local PC to a dedicated server is tricky because the game uses a **Session ID** (GUID) system. If you just copy the save file, the server might create a new "Session" and treat your world as empty, or force you to create a new character.

1. Local Location

Windows PC saves are at: %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Stunlock Studios\VRising\CloudSaves\[SteamID]\v3\.

2. Server Location

Dedicated servers store saves at: /save-data/Saves/v3/[WorldName]/.

3. The Session ID

The file SessionId.json in the save folder tells the server "This is the same world." Do NOT delete this unless you want a Soft Wipe.

How to Upload a Save Correctly

  1. Locate your Local Save: Navigate to the folder mentioned above. You will see a folder with a random UUID name (e.g., 5a4f-2b1d...).
  2. Prepare the Files: Inside that folder, you should see many AutoSave_X.save.gz files and a SessionId.json.
  3. Access the Server: Open your Supercraft **File Manager**.
  4. Navigate: Go to /save-data/Saves/v3/world1/ (or whatever your server save name is).
  5. Clear & Upload:
    • Delete the existing contents of the server folder.
    • Upload your SessionId.json.
    • Upload your latest autosave (e.g., AutoSave_25.save.gz).
  6. Rename (Critical): Check the server's documentation. Usually, the server loads the highest numbered autosave, or you might need to rename your file to match the naming convention exactly.
  7. Restart the Server.

Troubleshooting "Empty World"

If you join and the world is blank or asks you to create a character:

  • Wrong Folder: You might have uploaded the files to /Saves/v3/ root instead of /Saves/v3/world1/.
  • New Session: You didn't upload SessionId.json, so the server generated a new one, breaking the link to your character data.

Note: V Rising saves are heavily compressed (.gz). Do not try to edit them with a text editor. Only JSON configuration files are editable.
