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!

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 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...

We will be patching V Rising today at 10:00 CEST / 8:00 UTC.

The following improvements will be added to V Rising with this patch:

General

• The Servant Resurrection timer has been increased to 10 minutes from 15 seconds (Primarily to tackle PvP scenarios where the short resurrection timer could be abused).
  
• We have rebalanced how Siege Golem health is calculated and have updated the Siege Golem health settings. By default, Siege Golems will have 250% more health (represented as shield value) than before. The Golem's health also scales based on the player's current health to a minimum of 50% of the total health (should the player transforming have less than 50% health, the golem’s shield value will be reduced accordingly).
  
• The default time-slot setting for when P...

The Bloodfeast is coming!

There will be a patch during the week of Monday 19th of September (no date has been set yet) that will help address some of the issues that some server owners have been having with Corrupted Saves. The change is going to involve altering the way that saves are recorded, so these will be incompatible with previous saves.

To prevent the possibility of having an issue with the patch that causes you to irrevocably lose your save, PLEASE CREATE A BACKUP OF YOUR SERVER'S SAVE FILE.

Information on how to back up your file can be found here.[guides.playvrising.com]
