How do I set up Windrose dedicated server?
We will show you how Xgamingserver makes it easier for you to set up an Windrose server without the many configurations and technical knowhow

Installation of Windrose Server on a VPS

Step 2: Purchase a server
Step 3: Launch your Server and enjoy
Hosting a Windrose Server on a VPS without XGamingServer Panel
Running your own Windrose dedicated server gives you full control over world settings, player access, and scheduling. This guide covers self-hosting on a Windows VPS using SteamCMD. The Windrose dedicated server binary is currently Windows-based (Unreal Engine 5), so you'll need a Windows VPS or a Windows home machine with the resources to spare.
Step 1: Install the Dedicated Server
Open Steam → Library → Tools, search for Windrose Dedicated Server, and install it. The dedicated server must be installed to a separate location from your main Windrose game folder — do not run it from inside the game directory.
Step 2: First Launch — Generate Config Files
Navigate to your server install folder and run StartServerForeground.bat (recommended — shows live logs). Wait for the server to finish loading, then close the window. This generates ServerDescription.json at the server root and creates your first world.
Step 3: First Launch — Generate Config Files
In your server folder, run StartServerForeground.bat (recommended — shows live logs in the console window). Wait until the server finishes loading, then close the window to shut it down so you can edit the config files.
Step 3: Configure Your Server
Edit the main config file — only while the server is stopped. It lives at the root of the server folder:
ServerDescription.jsonSet your server name, invite code, password, and player limit here. Save and restart to apply changes.
Step 4: Networking
Windrose uses NAT punch-through for player connections — no manual port forwarding required in most cases. Make sure UPnP is enabled on your router and Windows Firewall allows the Windrose server executables. If players can't connect, ensure your router is not blocking outbound UDP traffic.
Step 5: Start Your Server
Run StartServerForeground.bat for a visible console, or WindroseServer.exe to run it in the background (use Task Manager to stop).
Step 6: Connect to Your Windrose Server
Windrose uses an invite code system — not IP addresses. Once the server has started and registered (wait about a minute), open ServerDescription.json at the server root and find the InviteCode field. Share this code with your crew. To join: launch Windrose → Play → Connect to Server → enter the invite code. Note: All players must complete the Windrose tutorial in single-player before they can join a multiplayer server.
Server Files Reference
| File / Folder | Purpose |
|---|---|
StartServerForeground.bat | Recommended start — shows live console logs |
WindroseServer.exe | Start server as background process |
ServerDescription.json (root) | Server name, invite code, password, player limit |
R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\Default\RocksDB\ | World save and player data |
R5\Saved\Logs\R5.log | Server logs for troubleshooting |
Launch Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
-log | Enable console logging |
-MULTIHOME=0.0.0.0 | Bind to all network interfaces |
-PORT=7777 | Game port (UDP) |
-QUERYPORT=7778 | Query port (UDP) |
Updating Your Server
Stop the server first. Then open Steam → Library → Tools, find Windrose Dedicated Server, and let Steam update it. Both the game client and server must be on the same version for players to connect.

About Windrose
Set sail in Windrose, an open-world survival game where you captain your own ship through a richly imagined Age of Piracy. Unlike most survival games, Windrose puts you on both land and sea — you'll raid dungeons ashore, build out your settlement, then weigh anchor and take the fight to enemy ships with broadsides and boarding parties. The story pits you against Blackbeard himself, but the real adventure is everything that unfolds along the way: faction politics, supernatural threats, and a procedural world that reshuffles itself every playthrough. With over 1.5 million Steam wishlists before Early Access, few survival games have generated this much buzz.
Naval Combat — From Cannon Fire to Boarding Actions
Ship combat in Windrose isn't just a minigame — it's a full tactical layer. You choose how to engage: stay at long range and trade broadsides, or close the gap and lead your crew onto an enemy deck. Every fight plays out differently depending on your ship class, the enemy's vessel, and how you've outfitted your kit.
Ships range from the quick and nimble ketch right up to the powerhouse frigate, each with its own trade-offs. Win a fight at sea and the spoils are yours — loot, resources, and enough reason to keep pushing further into the unknown. A dedicated server means your fleet never has to stand down while the host is offline.
A World That Reshuffles — Exploration & Dungeons
The map in Windrose is procedurally generated, so no two servers look the same. But scattered across every world are over 100 hand-built dungeons — structured encounters with real loot, real challenge, and bosses that demand preparation. The combination keeps things fresh: the layout changes, but the hand-crafted moments always deliver.
Between dungeons you'll navigate faction politics, trading with different groups to build advantage. Your captain's skill and gear progress carries across worlds, so time invested is never wasted even when you start a new server with friends.
Build Your Base — Settlements & Land Control
While your ship handles the open sea, your settlement handles everything else. Pick a biome, stake your claim, and start building — from a basic camp all the way up to a fortified compound with NPC workers running resource operations for you. Recruiting NPCs to automate harvesting and production is a game-changer for longer sessions.
What makes Windrose's building stand out is that your land base and your ship are both active parts of the loop. You're not just building a home — you're building a headquarters. On a dedicated server, your settlement keeps running around the clock so crewmates can contribute to construction even when you're offline.
Play Your Way — Co-Op & Combat Depth
Windrose works just as well as a solo game as it does with a full crew. Co-op supports up to 4+ players and the combat system gives everyone a role to play — swords, rapiers, halberds, pistols, muskets, and more. Talent trees and gear loadouts let each player build a distinct playstyle rather than everyone running the same kit.
Running a dedicated server through XGamingServer solves the biggest friction point in co-op survival: the world stays live around the clock, no host machine required. Players join and leave on their own schedule, progress saves automatically, and the server is always reachable from anywhere with consistently low latency.
Crafting & Progression — Build the Captain You Want
Resources pulled from different biomes feed into a layered crafting system that covers weapons, armour, ship components, and settlement infrastructure. Nothing feels like busywork — each tier of crafting unlocks new options and pushes the loop forward in a concrete way.
Outside of crafting, your captain grows through a talent tree that rewards your actual playstyle. Stack combat buffs through food and potions before a boss fight, or lean into the explorer build for better dungeon rewards. The important part: all of that progression is tied to your character, not the world seed, so switching servers doesn't mean starting over.
