Scheduled Restarts for Your V Rising Server
A V Rising server left running for days slowly drifts — memory creeps up, little hitches appear, especially with a busy clan and lots of castles. The fix is simple: a scheduled restart. gamever has a dedicated Schedules tab for exactly this, so your server refreshes itself at a quiet hour with no one needing to remember. This guide covers why and how.
Why schedule a restart
- Clears accumulated memory — a fresh start runs leaner than one up for days.
- Smooths out hitching that builds up over a long uptime.
- Applies pending changes cleanly if anything was waiting on a restart.
- Predictable — your group learns the one quiet minute the server blinks, instead of random slowdowns.
A single daily restart is enough for most servers.
Setting it up
Open the Schedules tab on your server:
- Create a schedule for a restart action.
- Pick the time — choose an hour when few or no players are on (e.g. early morning in your group's timezone).
- Set it to repeat daily (or your preferred cadence).
- Save it.
From then on the server restarts itself on schedule. You can edit or remove the schedule any time from the same tab.
Timing tips
- Pick your quietest hour. Check when your clan is usually offline and restart then.
- Mind the region. Your server's Region is on the Overview tab — set the schedule relative to your players' timezone, not the server's.
- One a day is plenty for most groups; add a second only if a very busy server needs it.
- Warn your clan of the restart time so no one's mid-raid when it hits.
Pairing with saves
A restart is safe because your world is saved — but make sure your auto-save interval is sensible so the restart picks up a very recent save. The server saves on a healthy shutdown; a short auto-save interval means minimal lost progress even in the worst case.
Additional Tips
- One daily restart at a quiet hour suits most servers.
- Use the server's Region/timezone awareness when picking the time.
- Confirm your save interval so a restart loses nothing.
- Tell your players when the nightly restart lands.
- Restart manually from Overview any time you notice slowdown between scheduled ones — see fixing lag.
Conclusion
A scheduled restart is the cheapest performance habit for a V Rising server: set one on the Schedules tab for a quiet hour, repeat it daily, and let the server keep itself fresh. Pair it with a sensible save interval and your clan gets smooth, predictable uptime with zero manual effort.
