Whether you’re looking to set up a private server for yourself or for a group of friends, there are some settings you need to take note of in V Rising.
In this post, we’ll go over the basics of setting up a private server. So without further ado, let’s get started!
How to Modify Server Settings in V Rising
There are two options for hosting your own server. The first is from your computer, and the second from GPORTAL, which is officially authorized by Stunlock Games.

How to Change Dedicated Private Server Settings in V Rising
Settings are updated by modifying the “ServerGameSettings.json” file, which is stored in:
- Steam > steamapps > common > VRising > VRising_Server > VRisingServer_Data > StreamingAssets > Settings. You may open this file in Notepad (or, even better, Notepad++ for a better overview) and make any changes you like.
Please keep in mind that you need to restart your server for the modifications to take effect.
