Stunlock Studios' smash hit, V Rising, continues to grow in stature during its Early Access period on Steam. Late in June, the developers released the Hotfix 7 update, with bug fixes and Steam Cloud support. Now, on 6th July 2022, the V Rising Hotfix 8 update (Patch 0.5.42553) has been released, alongside a Scheduled Server Wipe feature.

In this article, we outline the complete, official V Rising 6th July patch notes, including bug fixes, new settings, the aforementioned Scheduled Server Wipe feature, and more.

V Rising Hotfix 8 update patch notes

Vampire Lords are in for a treat with the latest V Rising update released on 6th July 2022.

• V Rising Admin Commands List - All console commands
• V Rising Glass guide – Quartz farming locations and how to craft

First up, it is very important to note that with this new patch, the old version of V Rising will not be compatible with the new server version, thus the game must be updated to the latest version for it to work.

Let's just jump straight into the V Rising Hotfix 8 update patch notes, starting with the brand-new and highly-requested feature!

V Rising New Features - Scheduled Server Wipes

• Servers with Scheduled Wipes will show a unique icon in the server list.
• Added a filter to show only servers with Scheduled Wipes.
• Server with Scheduled Wipes will display the number of days remaining until the next planned wipe.
• Once the date for the wipe arrives, the next Server Restart will trigger a wipe.
• Instructions on how to use this feature will be included in our Dedicated Server documentation and on G-Portal’s website.
• We will open new Official servers with this feature in the near future.
• Please note that Scheduled Wipes will only be possible in new servers created after today’s patch.

New V Rising Settings (6 July):

• Added new ServerHostSettings for lowering FPS on servers when they are empty:
  -LowerFPSWhenEmpty

  -The default is true and with a value of 1.

V Rising Bug Fixes Hotfix Update 8:

• Fixed a bug where clouds would get blurrier and start to lag over time.
• DLCs now work in LAN Mode.
• Fixed a rare server crash involving Directional Shields and Counters.
• Fixed an issue where crashing servers would leave a growing amount of temporary data in the save folders. Such temporary data will be cleaned up with this patch.

General V Rising changes and improvements:

• Localization has been added for Spanish - Latin America, Danish, Thai, and Ukrainian.
• Replaced “Days Played” with “Days Running” in the Server Details.
