How to Join Your V Rising Server

Updated June 10, 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

Use the direct connect option in V Rising to join your server quickly. Once you have connected once, the game saves the server so you can rejoin from the main menu.

Before you start: Copy your Connection Info from the game panel before launching V Rising.

Connect for the first time

  1. Launch V Rising and click Play.
  2. Click Online Play.
  3. Click Find Servers.
  4. Click Direct Connect.
  5. Paste your Connection Info (format <IP>:<PORT>) into the address field.
  6. Click Connect.

Rejoin after your first session

After your first connection, select Continue from the main menu. V Rising remembers your last server so you can skip the direct connect flow entirely.

Troubleshooting

Cannot connect - Confirm the server is running in the Game Control Panel and that you are using the correct Connection Info including the port.

Server not listed in browser - Direct connect does not require the server to appear in the server list. Use the direct connect method above.

For file-level access to your server, see FTP client setup.
