Windrose Server Performance Guide

Windrose is built on Unreal Engine 5 and is in Early Access — server performance improves with each update. This guide covers the settings and practices that help keep your server running smoothly.

Recommended Resources

XGamingServer plans run on AMD Ryzen 9 7950X CPUs with DDR5 RAM and NVMe SSDs — all of which matter for UE5 server performance.

---

Scheduled Restarts

Scheduled restarts are the single most effective thing you can do for long-session performance. UE5 servers accumulate memory over time, and a daily or 12-hour restart clears that cleanly.

See Scheduled Restarts to set one up in under 2 minutes.

Monitor Resources in the Panel

1. Go to your server Dashboard in the panel
2. The CPU and Memory widgets show live usage
3. If CPU is consistently above 80% with players online, consider upgrading your plan

World Complexity and Multipliers

High multipliers increase the amount of processing required per player interaction:

• Very high MobHealthMultiplier values (e.g. 5.0) mean longer fights with more AI ticks per encounter
• Coop.StatsCorrectionModifier and Coop.ShipStatsCorrectionModifier scale enemy AI with player count — keep these reasonable for larger crews

For more detail, see World Modifiers.

NVMe SSD Storage

World data is stored in RocksDB/ — a key-value database that does many small reads/writes during play. NVMe SSD storage (included on all XGamingServer plans) makes a measurable difference here versus spinning-disk or standard SATA SSDs.

Early Access Notes

Since Windrose is in Early Access, some performance issues are engine/game bugs rather than configuration problems. After a major update:

1. Stop the server and run a reinstall
2. Check the Windrose Steam news page for known server-side performance fixes in the patch notes
