V Rising game servers offer a variety of configuration parameters that you can customize to your liking. In this guide, we will review all currently available configuration options and explain them in detail.
In the following sections, you will find tables with information about the available configuration options, both for the server itself and for gameplay settings.
We do not recommend changing the port settings, as these are automatically configured by the game server. Changing the ports can break your game server!
This section summarizes the most important server settings found in the ServerHostSettings.json configuration file. For the full list of options, see the official game GitHub guide.
