1. Look for the world on your local V Rising game in the below folder
C:\Users\<replace with current Windows user>\AppData\LocalLow\Stunlock Studios\VRising\Saves
In this folder there should currently only be one v1 (at this time) folder, which represents the current Persistence Version. If in the future there are breaking changes to the persistence/save format, there could be v2, v3, et cetera.
Inside this (currently v1) folder lies the actual save folders for the local saves/sessions. Since the user does not name these session/save folders when starting/hosting a game via the game client, these folder names are random, in the GUID format. For example: db4b1c0e-2b7d-430a-87ef-4b6c09398dcf
Full path example:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Stunlock Studios\VRising\Saves\v1\db4b1c0e-2b7d-430a-87ef-4b6c09398dcf
AutoSave_0
AutoSave_1
AutoSave_2
ServerGameSettings.json
ServerHostSettings.json
SessionId.json
To find the specific session you want to move, you can check the ServerHostSettings.json file inside each folder to see the session name that you specified in-game.
When you have located the session you want to transfer to a dedicated server it is recommended to backup the full folder in case something goes wrong with the transfer on first try, so you always have the original still.
2. Upload the saves to our Game Panel
Go to the File Manager tab on our game server panel, and then enter the folders /server-data/Saves/v1
Then, compress your save world to a zipped folder and drag and drop to the File Manager tab inside of this folder. Then uncompress it on the panel.
Finally, go to the Startup tab and change the "Save Name" box to be the same as the one uploaded.
Done!
