Where Are V Rising Saves Located?
V Rising client and dedicated server save locations on Windows, including the versioned v4 folder and GUID world directories.
Last updated
V Rising client saves live under AppData LocalLow in the Stunlock Studios folder. Cloud saves sit in CloudSaves under your Steam ID, while offline saves use a sibling Saves folder.
Worlds hide one more level down: a version folder (v4 in current builds) containing GUID-named world directories. Dedicated servers use a parallel VRisingServer tree, overridable with -persistentDataPath.
Where V Rising stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Stunlock Studios\VRising\CloudSaves
Contains a version folder (currently v4) with GUID-named world folders holding AutoSave_*.save.gz files. Non-cloud saves live in the sibling Saves folder instead of CloudSaves.
Frequently asked questions
Which folder do I back up for a client-hosted world?
Copy the GUID-named folder under the current version folder (v4 for recent builds). It contains the AutoSave files plus ServerGameSettings.json and related JSON. Older guides referencing v1 or v3 folders are outdated.
Can I move a client-hosted world to a dedicated server?
Yes. Point the server at the moved folder with the -saveName parameter and clear any GameSettingsPreset override so it loads your copied settings instead of a fresh preset.
