How To Use RCON On V Rising

Learn how to use RCON on your V Rising dedicated server along with all the commands.

RCON (Remote Console) lets you send commands to your V Rising server without being connected in-game. This is useful for server announcements, scheduled shutdowns, and general administration from outside the game client.

Enabling RCON

Open the Startup page

Access the XGamingServer Panel. In the sidebar, click Startup.

Set an RCON password

Under the RCON section, set a secure RCON Password.

Enable RCON

Set Enable RCON to true.

Restart your server

Restart your server to apply the changes.

Once your server starts, you can send RCON commands directly from the Console page in the panel.

💡 Tip: You can also use RCON commands in Schedules to automate announcements, timed shutdowns, and other recurring tasks.
