Initial Setup

Start by downloading the latest release. Once the download is finished extract the contents of the .zip file to any directory. I would recommend a solid structure of your folders so that it will become easier to manage the server.

In the below example I will extract the files to C:\VSM, it should then look like as follows:

Start the application with VRisingServerManager.exe. You will be in the main view of the application. Start by clicking VSM Settings under Editors and Settings.

Set up the settings to your preferences. Each setting affects every server added to VSM.

Main Settings

• Verify Updates runs a validation of the game files after every update.
• Auto-Update checks for updates at a set interval by running SteamCMD and parsing the information it can get from the steam database as accurately as it can.
• Interval is how often the Auto-Update should look for an update in minutes.
• Show SteamCMD Window determines whether the SteamCMD window should be visible during updates or not. Useful when troubleshooting.

Click Save when you are done and then click Update Game Server and let it run once.

When you are ready, proceed to Adding a server.
