Where Are V Rising Dedicated Server Saves Located?
V Rising dedicated server saves on Windows, the save-data tree plus local and cloud paths explained.
Last updated
V Rising dedicated servers write into a save-data tree beside the server install. The mod wiki and host guides point at save-data/Saves with versioned v folders inside. The start script sets that path through persistentDataPath.
Local play uses LocalLow/Stunlock Studios trees instead, with CloudSaves for synced accounts. The in game Go to Directory button resolves GUID names to folders. Copy, never move, when backing up live saves. Autosave counts prune old files. Setting files beside saves control rules and wipes.

Frequently asked questions
How do I upload a local world to my server?
Copy your GUID world folder into save-data/Saves/v4 on the server and set SaveName to match exactly, then restart. Strip autosaves down to the latest first. Keep GameSettingsPreset empty to reuse copied settings.
Which GUID folder is my world?
Open the Load Game menu, select the save, and click Go to Directory. Explorer jumps straight to the right GUID folder. Back up before touching anything inside.
