Common Issues and Fixes

With the launch of V Rising - Invaders of Oakveil, we would like to inform you about some common issues players may encounter and how to solve them.

If you do not see the issue you are experiencing below, please report it on our Bug Reports Dashboard.

Frequent Crashes:

Some files may not have been appropriately patched. Try repairing your game files via:

Steam > Right click on V Rising > Properties > Installed files > Verify integrity of game files

If you get stuck on a screen before the main menu (for example, the age gate screen), try the following:

Delete the "v1", "v2", "v3", and “v4” folders at %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Stunlock Studios\VRising\Settings (you can copy-paste this path into your file explorer). This will reset your game settings (graphics, sound, custom inputs, among others).
Ensure your graphics drivers are up to date.
If the game crashes or freezes before the intro cinematic, playing the in-game videos might be an issue. Try launching with videos turned off via the following steps:
- 1.) Right-click the game in your Steam library.
- 2.) Select Properties > General and then type -noVideo into the text field under "Launch Options".
- 3.) Launch the game as usual.
