If you are hosting and playing on the same machine, we recommend at least \u003Cstrong>24GB of total system RAM\u003C\u002Fstrong> to avoid hitches when the game and server compete for memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>How many players can one Windrose server handle?\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>A well-provisioned dedicated server can comfortably handle 10-16 concurrent players. Beyond that, CPU single-thread performance becomes the bottleneck before RAM or bandwidth does, so faster cores matter more than more cores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>What’s the difference between in-game hosting and a dedicated server?\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>In-game hosting ties the world to your game session; when you log off, the world goes offline and no one else can play. A dedicated server runs independently of any player, stays online 24\u002F7, and generally performs better because it isn’t also rendering the game for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Do I need a static IP to run a Windrose server?\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>No. Because Windrose uses an invite code system rather than direct IP connections, your public IP can change without breaking anything for your players. The invite code stays consistent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Can I run a Windrose dedicated server on Linux?\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Official support is Windows-only at this time. Some users have reported success running the Windows server binaries under Proton or Wine on Linux, but this is unsupported and can cause save file corruption. Stick with Windows if stability matters to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Why can’t my friends connect to my server?\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>In order of likelihood: UPnP is disabled on your router, Windows Defender is blocking \u003Ccode>WindroseServer.exe\u003C\u002Fcode>, you’re on a Strict NAT type (common on mobile hotspots and some ISPs), or you have a VPN active that’s intercepting the NAT punch-through. Work through the checklist in Step 3 above before assuming the server itself is broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>How do I back up my Windrose world?\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Stop the server, then copy the entire world folder from \u003Ccode>Saved\\SaveProfiles\\Default\\Worlds\\\u003C\u002Fcode> to a safe location. Do this on a schedule — weekly at minimum, daily if you have an active group. Most hosting providers (including us) automate this for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Can I run mods on a dedicated Windrose server?\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Mod support depends on the current state of Windrose’s modding API. If mods are installed, they need to be present on both the server and every connecting client, with matching versions. Mismatches are the single most common cause of connection failures on modded servers.\u003C\u002Fp>","How to Create a Windrose Dedicated Server: A Step-by-Step Guide",{"title_short":174,"article_path":175,"tag":26,"date_created":176,"date_updated":177,"image_outer":178,"author_name":148,"description":179,"category":180},"Windrose Ships Guide: How to Unlock the Ketch, Brig, and Frigate","windrose-ships-guide","2026-04-17T18:38:40.000Z","2026-04-17T18:44:45.000Z","9dc0d9e2-6317-4372-916c-86f63b6a6136","Learn how to unlock every ship in Windrose, including the Ketch, Brig, and Frigate.
