If your V Rising server isn’t showing in the server list, check that List On Steam and List On Epic are true on the Startup page and that the console shows Startup Completed. Then in game open Online Play, choose Show All Servers and search for your exact Server Name. You can always skip the list: use Direct Connect with the address shown in the Game Panel, for example 203.0.113.10:9876.

How to make your V Rising server show in the list

1

Check the listing variables

Open Startup and set List On Steam and List On Epic to true. The game client looks in the Epic (EOS) list by default, so List On Epic matters most.
2

Restart and wait

Restart the server and watch the console. A start takes about a minute. The server is ready when you see [Server] Startup Completed.
3

Search by name

In V Rising, click Play, then Online Play, then Show All Servers, and type your Server Name in the search box. Searching is faster than scrolling.

How to join without the server list

1

Copy your address

Copy your server’s IP address and game port from the Game Panel, for example 203.0.113.10:9876.
2

Use Direct Connect

In V Rising, go to Play > Online Play > Show All Servers and choose Direct Connect. Enter the address and connect.
3

Enter the password

If you set a Server Password on Startup, enter it when asked.

​
Which ports does my V Rising server use?

Your own ports are shown in the panel. Don’t change them in ServerHostSettings.json; the panel sets them at every start.

​
Frequently asked questions

​
Why can’t I find my server even with the right name?

The server may still be starting, or the listing may be off. Wait for Startup Completed, check List On Steam and List On Epic, and try Direct Connect.

​
Can I hide my server from the list?

Yes. Set List On Steam and List On Epic to false and restart. Players then join only with Direct Connect. Add a Server Password too if you want to keep strangers out.

​
My friends get a connection error. What should I check?

Check that everyone uses the same game version, that the server is running, and that they enter the address with the game port, not the query port.
