How many players can join the server?

The default is 40 players (MaxConnectedUsers); according to the official docs, up to 128 are technically supported. For 40+ players we recommend at least 16 GB RAM.

How much RAM do I need?

Expect around 4 GB base usage. 4-6 GB is enough for small groups, 8 GB for full clans with large castles, and 12-16 GB for servers with 30-40+ players — usage grows with castle expansion and servants.

How do I change the settings?

Edit ServerGameSettings.json (game rules) or ServerHostSettings.json (name, password, ports) — directly in the RespawnHost web interface. You can adjust almost everything there.

How do I become admin?

Add your SteamID to adminlist.txt and use the in-game console with the command adminauth.

Are there PvP protection times?

Yes. Setting CastleDamageMode to TimeRestricted defines raid windows during which castles can be attacked — outside of them your castle is safe. PlayerDamageMode controls PvP damage the same way.

How large can clans be?

The default is 4. On your own server you raise the limit via ClanSize in ServerGameSettings.json, e.g. to 10 for large groups.

Does the world keep running when no one is online?

Yes — while the server is running, refinement stations and servant missions keep progressing and time passes. If you stop the server in the panel, everything pauses completely and no pay-per-use costs accrue.

How often does the server save?

Automatically via AutoSaveInterval (default every 600 seconds); AutoSaveCount determines how many save states are kept (default 50).

Can I enable Brutal mode?

Yes, set GameDifficultyPreset to Difficulty_Brutal — tougher bosses with new mechanics. Alternatively Difficulty_Easy or Difficulty_Normal.

Can I allow teleporting with resources?

Yes, set TeleportBoundItems to false in ServerGameSettings.json — then bound items can travel through waygates.

Yes, V Rising has an active modding community built around BepInEx (IL2CPP variant) and Thunderstore. Since Stunlock no longer ships content updates, the modding scene stays stable.

Do you support crossplay?

V Rising has no crossplay: PC (Steam) and PS5 use separate servers. Our servers are PC servers (Steam) — PS5 players cannot join them.

Only with limitations: the built-in Vivox proximity voice does not work out of the box on rented servers — it requires your own Unity/Vivox credentials in a ServerVoipSettings.json. A Discord server for your team is the practical choice.

Can I change the daylight duration?

Yes, DayDurationInSeconds (default 1080 = 18 minutes) plus DayStartHour/DayEndHour in GameTimeModifiers control the day-night cycle.

Is a V Rising server still worth it in 2026?

Yes. With over 5 million players, the game is feature-complete: the story up to Dracula is finished, and "Invaders of Oakveil" (2025) was the final major content update. Only bug fixes follow — so your world and mods remain stable long-term.

How do I update the server?

Simply restart the server — the latest version is loaded automatically on startup.

Yes, delete the save folder or set a new SaveName to generate a fresh world.

What happens during a server restart?

The server saves, shuts down, and restarts. Players are briefly disconnected and can rejoin right away.

Where are the servers located?

We have servers in Germany and in the USA (Salt Lake City).

You can set up manual or automatic backups in the panel for a minimal fee. In addition, the server itself keeps multiple autosave states.

Frequently Asked Questions about V Rising Servers

V Rising Dedicated Server Hosting: Rule Over Vardoran

V Rising combines survival with action-RPG elements: as a vampire, you hunt for blood, avoid the sun, and build a mighty castle. Since the 1.0 release on May 8, 2024, the story arc up to Dracula is complete, and the big 1.1 update "Invaders of Oakveil" (April 28, 2025) added an entire new region with the Oakveil Woodlands. On a V Rising dedicated server from RespawnHost, you set the rules: PvP siege times, resource multipliers, and clan sizes.

Why rent a V Rising server at RespawnHost?

On a running dedicated server, your world keeps working even when nobody is online: refinement stations keep producing, servants return from missions, and time passes. Nobody has to stay online as host, and your castle sits safely behind DDoS protection. Our servers offer enough RAM to handle even huge castles and full clans without lag.

Configuring V Rising can be complex. We give you easy access to ServerGameSettings.json and ServerHostSettings.json so you can create exactly the experience you want — whether hardcore PvP with tight raid windows or relaxed PvE building.

Features for Vampire Lords

Full configuration: adjust loot, damage, build costs, and more
PvP/PvE switch: GameModeType decides whether players can attack each other
Clan size: default 4 — raise it via ClanSize for larger groups
Backups: automatic protection of your progress
DDoS protection: security for your castle
SFTP access: full control over savegames and configs

With our Pay-Per-Use model, you only pay while your server is running. Perfect for clans that only play in the evening: start the server, raid, stop it — done.

How much does a V Rising server cost?

A V Rising server at RespawnHost starts at 10.00 €/month as a fixed plan (Vampire Duo, 4 GB RAM; effectively 5.60 €/month on a 360-day term). Alternatively, pay-per-use from 0.0575 €/h only while the server runs — billed per second, ideal for clans with fixed play nights.

For a 4-player clan we recommend Clan Stronghold with 6 GB RAM (14.25 €/month or 0.0794 €/h); for PvP servers with many players, the PvP Arena with 8 GB (19.00 €/month or 0.0920 €/h). Full cost control via prepaid credit: no subscriptions, no cancellation periods.

Tip: stop the server in the panel when nobody is playing — then it costs exactly €0.00. Your world, castles, and settings are kept, of course.

How do I configure a V Rising dedicated server? (ServerHostSettings.json & ServerGameSettings.json)

The V Rising dedicated server (Steam App ID 1829350) is controlled through two JSON files: ServerHostSettings.json for name, password, and ports, and ServerGameSettings.json for the game rules — conveniently editable in the RespawnHost web interface. The most important values at a glance:

You can continue your existing playthrough: upload the save folder via SFTP and set it as SaveName in ServerHostSettings.json. Mods run on BepInEx (IL2CPP variant) from Thunderstore — and since content updates have ended, the modding scene stays stable without patches constantly breaking things.

Ports: 9876 (game) and 9877 (query), both UDP — preconfigured on our servers
MaxConnectedUsers: default 40 players, technically supported up to 128 (plus 4 admin slots via MaxConnectedAdmins)
GameModeType: PvP or PvE — the fundamental mode of your server
CastleDamageMode: TimeRestricted defines raid windows during which castles can be attacked; Never disables castle damage entirely
ClanSize: default 4 — freely adjustable on private servers, e.g. 10 for large groups
GameSettingsPreset & GameDifficultyPreset: ready-made templates like StandardPvP or Difficulty_Brutal for Brutal mode
AutoSaveInterval/AutoSaveCount: automatic saving (default every 600 seconds, 50 save states)
Becoming admin: add your SteamID to adminlist.txt, then type adminauth in the in-game console

V Rising in 2026: Invaders of Oakveil and "The Next Era"

With update 1.1 "Invaders of Oakveil" (April 28, 2025), V Rising received its biggest free update yet: the new Oakveil Woodlands region, the Venom Blades enemy faction, and the boss Megara the Serpent Queen. Over 5 million players have roamed Vardoran by now — the current server version is 1.1.x, and your RespawnHost server picks up patches with a simple restart.

In Dev Update #32 "The Next Era" (March 26, 2026), Stunlock Studios announced that the journey to Dracula is complete: no new content updates are in development — only bug fixes and balance patches will follow while the studio works on a new game in the V Rising universe. For server owners, that is good news: a finished, stable version without breaking changes, where long-term worlds and mod setups pay off.
