How to Update Your Windrose Server

Keep your Windrose dedicated server up to date after game patches.

Windrose is in Early Access and receives regular updates. Keeping your server version in sync with the game client is required — players on a newer client version cannot connect to an older server.

Update via XGamingServer Panel

Stop your server from the Dashboard.

Click Reinstall Server (your world saves are preserved).

Wait for the update to complete, then start your server.

Your world data in R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/ is not affected by reinstalls. Only the server binary and engine files are updated.

After Updating

  • All players must update their Windrose game client to the same version before connecting
  • Check the Windrose Steam news page for patch notes — some updates may reset certain config fields
  • Back up your RocksDB/ folder before major updates as a precaution

Manual Update via SteamCMD (Self-Hosted)

Stop your server first, then run:

steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir C:\windrose-server +app_update 3041230 validate +quit
