V Rising server guide

V Rising server performance

Server FPS Target sets how often the server updates, 30 by default. Lower FPS When Empty drops it to 15 while nobody is online, so an idle server uses less of your CPU. Both are in Auto Config on Windows and in ServerHostSettings.json on Linux.

Server FPS

  • Server FPS Target: 5 to 120. Higher feels smoother in fights but uses more CPU; the default suits most servers.
  • Lower FPS When Empty and Empty Server FPS Target: on by default, at 15.

Keep it healthy

  • Restart on a schedule with an in-game warning, using an automation.
  • Start the server again by itself after a crash.
  • Update with one button, or let an automation update when V Rising does.

CPU priority on Windows

CPU Affinity sets the server's process priority and which CPU cores it uses, so it doesn't compete with your game on the same PC.

Questions

Should I raise Server FPS Target?

Only if the CPU has room. Watch the server's CPU usage in HaruHost after a change, with players online.
