How to make your own dedicated server in V Rising

sportskeeda.com:

V Rising, a gothic survival crafting game by Stunlock Studios, is in Early Access on Steam but is already garnering plenty of critical praise.

In the game, players begin as a freshly-awakened vampire who must reclaim their former power and glory after humanity rose up against them. To do so, they must build a castle to call home, grow in power by feeding on creatures and humans, and battle bosses to progress their skills.

V Rising currently supports both co-op and PvP online gameplay, and players can also host private games if they'd like.

It also allows players to host a dedicated server through Steam either on their hardware or via a server rental service.

When starting out in V Rising, players can make multiple selections through the game's menus. Typically, this sees players picking their preferred server to join between PvE and PvP.

However, another option exists that allows players to choose from two different options for dedicated server hosting. They can choose between hosting a dedicated server on a player's own hardware or renting a server via the G Portal.

If players have the right hardware and a solid internet connection, hosting personally is a cheaper option in the long run.

To join your newly-made server, head into the game and select the Play Online server button. Players can also use Direct Connect if they've made their dedicated server password-protected.
