The Console of a V Rising server on PlayNHost shows the server's log as it runs, so you can watch it start, load the world and report errors. The V Rising server does not read commands typed into the panel Console. Admin commands go in the game's own console, and server commands such as announce go over RCON.
Read the server log
- Open your server in the panel and click the Console tab.
- Watch the lines as the server starts. When it prints its
Startup Completedline, the badge changes to Online. - Use the filters above the output, such as Errors or Warnings, to find problems, and Since last start to hide older output.
- To send the log to support, open More console actions and choose Download log or Share log.
Why does nothing happen when I type a command?
The V Rising dedicated server never reads its console input: it only writes its log. PlayNHost checked this on a running server, where the game did not read a single line sent to it. So a command typed in Type a command, or sent by the Send Command task on Quick Tasks, reaches the server but does nothing.
