V Rising Server Guide: How to Create, Configure and Delete Your Own Server

V Rising is an isometric survival game dedicated to vampires that has become incredibly popular in a short amount of time. If you want to use cheats and personally manage certain aspects of the game, you will need administrator rights, which only the creators of the server have. In this guide, we will tell you how to set up your own server in V Rising.

There are three different ways to set up a dedicated V Rising server:

How to Rent a Server from GPortal

This option is suitable for those who are willing to pay for server use. Simply go to the section related to V Rising on GPortal, then choose the server that suits you best or create your own configuration. The advantages of GPortal include ease of use and high performance.

How to Set Up a Server Using SteamCMD

Using Steam CMD is a popular way among players to host their own dedicated servers. The action algorithm is simple:

Your server files will be located in the folder located at steamapps\common\VRising\DedicatedServer\steamcmd.
