Patch 0.5.43163 | Patch Notes | Hotfix 11



We will be patching V Rising today at 08:00 UTC / 10:00 CEST. The patching process is expected to last up to an hour.

The following improvements will be added to V Rising with this patch:

NEW FEATURES
  • Castle Heart can now be moved over and replace an existing floor without the need to dismantle the floor first.

BUG FIXES
  • Fixed an exploit with building outside of your territory.
  • Fixed various issues allowing players to build inside cliff regions.
  • Fixed an issue where equipable items could end up in a broken state.

GENERAL
  • Minor improvement in the priority of error messages when building your castle.
  • Players may no longer dismantle Explosive Boxes. This fixes an exploit where players could dismantle explosive boxes while they were lit, returning the box to the inventory while still triggering the explosion.

If you experience problems after this patch, please let us know here. Please use the patch number in the title so that we can identify it.

ADDITIONAL REMINDER! Make sure to make backups of your server saves regularly!

See you in Vardoran, Vampires!

Patch 0.5.42584 | Patch Notes | Hotfix 10



We will be patching V Rising today at 11:00 UTC.

  • The following improvements will be added to V Rising with this patch:

  • Fixed an exploit where equipped items (Weapons, Armors, Cloaks) could give stacked attributes when equipped after being retrieved from a servant that had died.

  • Fixed an exploit where items would be duplicated when dismantling a servant's coffin with a servant that has previously died.

  • Fixed an issue where some equipable items (Weapons, Armor, Cloaks) could end up in a broken state and can no longer be equipped or unequipped. Items in this state prior to this patch will automatically be removed as they are in an irreparable state.

New Official PvP Servers!



Hello vampires!

Today we will be opening 48 new Official V Rising Servers with the new Scheduled Wipe Feature, including the highly requested Merciless Duo PvP servers.

We will start with Scheduled Wipes every 3 weeks. The number of days before the next wipe can be read in the information box on the right side of the server list.

We will monitor the performance and game experience on these new servers. Potential changes in the reset schedule or other changes may occur further along the line, so please make sure to follow us on Twitter and/or join our Discord Server to stay up to date.

We will be opening server packages in different regions. Each server package includes:
  • 1x Merciless Duo PvP
  • 1x Duo PvP
  • 2x Merciless Squad PvP servers
  • 2x Squad PvP servers

The regions that will be getting these servers are:

Australia = 1 Package
EU Central = 3 Packages
Japan = 1 Package
US Central = 1 Package
US West = 1 Package
US East = 1 Package

We are also looking into opening servers in other regions, more information about that will come in the future.

If you'd like to share your feedback with us regarding your experience with these new servers, please go to feedback.playvrising.com.

Happy hunting!

Patch 0.5.42553 | Patch Notes | Hotfix 8



We will be patching the client (V Rising game) today at 10:00 CEST / 08:00 UTC and the server version between 13:00 and 14:00 CEST / 11:00 and 12:00 UTC.

The following improvements will be added to V Rising with this patch:

[h3]NEW FEATURES[/h3]
New servers can now be hosted with repeated scheduled wipes.
  • Servers with Scheduled Wipes will show a unique icon in the server list.
  • Added a filter to show only servers with Scheduled Wipes.
  • Server with Scheduled Wipes will display the number of days remaining until the next planned wipe.
  • Once the date for the wipe arrives, the next Server Restart will trigger a wipe.
  • Instructions on how to use this feature will be included in our Dedicated Server documentation and on G-Portal’s website.
  • You can find this feature in GPortal under Basic Settings under the Basic section (first section) at the bottom of the list.
  • We will open new Official servers with this feature in the near future.
  • Please note that Scheduled Wipes is an optional feature and will only be possible in new servers created after today’s patch.


[h3]NEW SETTINGS[/h3]
  • Added new ServerHostSettings for lowering FPS on servers when they are empty:
    -LowerFPSWhenEmpty
    -LowerFPSWhenEmptyValue
    -The default is true and with a value of 1.
  • Official PvP Presets now uses 1.25 BloodDrainModifier instead of 1.0


[h3]BUG FIXES[/h3]
  • Fixed a bug where clouds would get blurrier and start to lag over time.
  • DLCs now work in LAN Mode.
  • Fixed a rare server crash involving Directional Shields and Counters.
  • Fixed an issue where crashing servers would leave a growing amount of temporary data in the save folders. Such temporary data will be cleaned up with this patch.


[h3]GENERAL[/h3]
  • The initial Server List request will now prioritize servers with players, to increase the speed at which servers are fetched.
  • Replaced “Activity” with “Territory” in the server list view.
  • Localization has been added for Spanish - Latin America, Danish, Thai, and Ukrainian.
  • Replaced “Days Played” with “Days Running” in the Server Details.
  • “Days Played” previously displayed the number of in-game days since server start, “Days Running” will now instead display the number of real-time days since server start.
  • We changed the logo that indicates a server is official from the Stunlock Swirl to the V Rising logo. If you see a server with the logo, it means that it is official.


With this new patch, the old version of the game will not be compatible with the new server version, thus the game must be updated to the latest version for it to work.

Please make sure that you have the latest client if you get stuck in the loading screen when connecting to a server by verifying game files.

In your Steam library, right-click on V Rising > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of game files.

If you are still having issues after 14:00 and have already updated the game client, please post your issues here and use the patch number in the title so that we can identify the issue easily.

The V Rising development team wishes you a happy summer! (Beware of the sun!).
