Community Hunt: Experiencing crashes after patches/updates?
Dear vampires,

It has come to our attention that some players are experiencing frequent crashes around hotfixes. The reason for these crashes appears to be that specific files are inadvertently removed in the patching process, causing the game to crash when it tries to load an asset that doesn’t exist.

If you are experiencing this issue after a hotfix, please answer the questions below:
  • Were you in-game when the hotfix went live?
  • Are you using any mods?

We will do our best to track down the cause of this issue as soon as possible. In the meantime, this issue can be fixed by verifying the integrity of the game files. This can be done via the following steps:

  1. Right-click V Rising in your library and select Properties
  2. In the Installed Files tab, press the ‘Verify integrity of files’ button
  3. Steam will now ensure no files are missing

Thank you!

not sure if this is connected, but I was unable to run the game for a few days (crashing on the loading screen).

Today, it finally loads in, but I am hours behind where I was (2 bosses). Any way to get my previous save game back?

Crashed when attempting to join my steamcmd self-hosted server.

Were you in-game when the hotfix went live?
No. But the server was running. Steam automatically updated V-Rising at the time.

Are you using any mods?
None.

1. Noticed the patch, updated V-Rising on steam, seemingly successfully.
2. Shut down server.
3. Backed up server save files.
4. Ran and logged into steamcmd console
5. Command "app_update 1829350", VRisingDedicatedServer updated successfully
6. Ran start_server.bat
7. Launched game, attempted to join server, immediate crash after entering password.
8. Verified integrity of files for V Rising on steam.
9. Able to join the server successfully (server remained running)

Same exact thing with Hot Fix 6, but not Hot Fix 7, where I believe the exact same steps were followed for both.
