Hello, Vampires!

We’re slipping out of the crypts to undo a little chaos and squash a couple of annoying bugs. Pay no mind to the vermin as we sweep them up, and continue enjoying your undead days a little bit more pest-free than the days before.


This hotfix, set to be launched shortly, contains the following changes:

• Fixed a bug where Sword Shockwave ability could cause a vampire to go up to the second floor of a castle.
  
• Fixed a bug where a vampire that was dead could be downed again, causing the vampire to be downed when respawning and suffering the death effects twice.
  
• Fixed a bug where it was possible to use servants to fully repair equipable items.
  
• Added a setting to dedicated servers to hide their public IP address: HideIPAddress. When it is set to tr...

Greetings, creatures of the night!

Below we’ve outlined a few changes coming to Vardoran with some general fixes, optimizations, and a few console commands that may be useful for server administrators and photographers alike!

This hotfix, set to be launched shortly, contains the following changes:

General Fixes
The “FAQ” and “Bug Report” buttons got worn down due to your diligent bug reporting, so we updated them with new and shiny buttons.

• Banners hanging from pillars are now correctly updating their colors when using the dye wheel.
  
• Fixed an issue where blood hunger did not always activate/deactivate correctly.
  
• Fixed an issue where items dropped on castle stairs could end up floating at the wrong height.

Greetings, Vampires.

As you may be aware, it’s been a busy time for us in the dark crypts at Stunlock Studios! Unfortunately, here in Sweden, the sun never sets this time of year. Fortunately, that’s given us a very good reason to stay inside and focus on working out all the bugs that have been plaguing us over the past month!



Live reenactment.

Soon we’ll return to our usual tricks, cauldrons bubbling and coffins rattling as we craft new and wonderful horrors for you to explore. Before that, though, we thought it would be nice to check in with our favorite swarm of deadly undead.


Thank you all!
Our most heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you who has returned for Update #1! We were plea... Read more

Hello, Vampires!

This is a patch to revert a change from the last hotfix that caused more trouble than it solved.

This hotfix, set to be launched shortly, contains the following changes:

• Reverted a fix that prevented some AoE casts from being able to hit through floors. We will be implementing a more robust fix for this in the future.

We're always grateful for your help in translating the game at https://crowdin.com/project/v-rising-game

IMPORTANT NOTE! Please report any issues you encounter after this patch here[bugs.p... Read more

Hello, thirsty Vampires!

We’re here to quench that thirst for bug blood by slaughtering some particularly annoying ones! This will be our last major round of bug fixing before we turn our attention to focusing on working our magic on the next big update, but keep on sending those reports in, as we’ll certainly still be taking time to address critical bug fixes as they crop up.

PLEASE BE AWARE. Servers that have not updated to the new patch will be incompatible with new client versions, so if you update your game and your private server has not also updated, you will not be able to play on that server until it does. If you wish to play on a server that has not yet been updated, you can revert your settings to the old patch version with the following method.

To revert your client to the previous patch:

1. Right-click V ...

Greetings, Vampires of Vardoran!

We're back with another round of bug bashing! Our focus remains on the most reported bugs on our report board, as well as a plethora of others. If a specific bug fix you've been anticipating isn't included in this update, rest assured! Certain fixes demand a higher degree of scrutiny and exhaustive testing before deployment, and we're working diligently on the remaining ones.

Our impending hotfix, set to be launched soon, contains the following improvements:

• Big improvements to degrading client performance over time. https://bugs.playvrising.com/suggestions/446838/fps-degrading-over-time
  
• Reverted a change in Hotf...

Hey there, Vampires!

More fixes coming in for highly reported bugs on our report board[bugs.playvrising.com], and more! We’re continuing our onslaught of bug slaying, so if you don’t see a fix here for something you’ve been waiting for fear not! Some things we’re fixing require further and more in-depth testing before we release them, and others we’re getting around to as we can.

The hotfix will be going live shortly with the following changes:

• Fixed issue where inventory actions would get more and more “laggy” over time and rubberbanding would occur after inventory actions. ...

Hey there, Vampires!

Another fix coming in for the most upvoted issue on our bug report board! We wanted to get this out as soon as possible, so it’s just the one this time.

The hotfix will be going live shortly with the following changes:

• Patching a fix to a UI issue that prevented players from being able to interact with inventory and menus, which is referenced here.[bugs.playvrising.com]

Hey there, Vampires!

Another fix coming in for the most upvoted issue on our bug report board! We wanted to get this out as soon as possible, so it’s just the one this time.

The hotfix will be going live on May 19th, 2023, at 16:30 UTC with the following changes:

• Fixed an issue where private servers (servers hosted from inside the game client) could freeze while auto-saving if running on a computer with 4 or fewer logical cores. This issue was made worse when using the "CompressSaveFiles" ServerHostSetting. The result would be that the client would get Connection Issues while the server was saving and then rubberband back once the autosave was completed. After this fix the save file compression will not cause these issues so feel free to enable it again.

REMINDER! You can report any issues... Read more

Hello, Vampires!

We’re working our magic, carving away at some of the common technical issues affecting some of your fellow Vampires.

The hotfix will be going live over the course of two patches on May 18th, 2023, at 16:30 UTC for the game client, and on May 19th, 2023, at 8:00 UTC for client-side changes.

This hotfix will contain the following changes:

• A save corruption fix when exiting/crashing while loading a server for the first time. This fixes the issue where players are unable to get out of the crypt/graveyard as well as other potential issues with incomplete worlds.
  
• This fix will not be able to salvage old saves that were corrupted in this way but will prevent this issue from happening to any future saves.
  
• Fixed CastlePvP times not being able to be set to 0...
