Installation
- Download the Launcher: Download the latest release from this Thunderstore page.
- Extract: Extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP file to a folder of your choice (e.g.,
C:\VRisingLauncher).

VRisingDedicatedServerLauncher.exe.
Usage & Getting Started
- First Run: On first run, the launcher will attempt to auto-detect your V Rising Dedicated Server installation path.
- Edit Settings: Navigate to the "Game Settings" and "Host Settings" sections (tabs or buttons) to customize your server's rules, name, password, and other parameters. Remember to save your changes!
- Manage Server: Use the "Start Server," "Stop Server," and "Restart Server" buttons on the main screen to control your server's state.
- Automate: Set up scheduled restarts and enable automatic updates from the settings to keep your server running smoothly.
Troubleshooting
- "SteamCMD not found" Error: This means the launcher cannot locate
steamcmd.exe. Go to the launcher's settings and manually point it to the correct path where steamcmd.exe is located.
- "Server configuration path not found" / Default Settings Issue: The launcher couldn't find your
ServerGameSettings.json or ServerHostSettings.json.
- Ensure your V Rising Dedicated Server is correctly installed.
- Verify the "V Rising Server Path" in the launcher's settings is accurate.
- The launcher should create default configuration files if they're missing in the correct server path upon detection. If not, ensure the launcher has appropriate file permissions (e.g., run as administrator if necessary).
- Server Not Starting: Check the integrated console log within the launcher for specific error messages. Also, verify your firewall settings (default V Rising server ports are 9876 UDP, 9877 UDP, 9878 UDP).
