Of course, that doesn’t mean there is no constructive feedback from the community. One such request from early adopters, the ability to play entirely offline, got added to V Rising with today’s patch. To play V Rising without an internet connection you need to follow these steps: Before you disconnect from the internet you need to
Start Steam Go Offline on Steam (Steam -> Go Offline…) After this, you can disconnect from the internet
Start V Rising
If you are hosting a local server you need to start the server in LAN Mode by using the checkbox in the UI or starting the dedicated server with the “-lan” parameter If you are connecting to a LAN server you need to check the “LAN Server” check box in the Direct Connect to Server window or by using the “ConnectLan” console command
We also added the feature to send server-wide messages. On GPortal servers, a message will show up in the chat when a server restarts as part of its maintenance routine, warning players to get to safety before the server shuts down. The expected downtime for server restarts can last up to a minute. Other server hosts can use this new feature to send important messages to players on a particular server.
