Windrose: Upload World

This guide explains how to upload your local Windrose world to a DatHost dedicated server, as well as how to transfer worlds between servers.

Upload a Local Save to a DatHost Server

Step 1: Locate Your Local World Save

Windrose stores local worlds in the following directory:

C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\{Profile}\RocksDB\{GameVersion}\Worlds\{WorldID}

Step 2: Upload the World to DatHost

1. Open your server in the DatHost Control Panel
2. Go to File Manager
3. Navigate to:

R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/{GameVersion}/Worlds/

4. Upload your {WorldID}  folder here

After uploading, your structure should look like:

R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/{GameVersion}/Worlds/{WorldID}

Step 3: Activate the World

1. Go to the World Manager in your server panel
2. Open the Stored Worlds tab
3. Locate your uploaded world (it will match the {WorldID} )
4. Click More
5. Select Switch to Active

Step 4: Start the Server

Start your server from the panel.

If everything is correct:

• The server loads your uploaded world
• Players can join using the server invite code
• Progress continues from your local save

Transfer a World Between Dedicated Servers

You can also move worlds between two DatHost servers or from another host.

Step 1: Download the World from the Source Server

1. Stop the source server
2. Go to File Manager
3. Navigate to:

R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/{GameVersion}/Worlds/

4. Download the desired {WorldID}  folder

Step 2: Upload to the Target Server

1. Stop the target server
2. Upload the {WorldID}  folder to:

R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/{GameVersion}/Worlds/

Step 3: Activate the World

1. Open World Manager
2. Go to Stored Worlds
3. Find the uploaded world
4. Click More → Switch to Active

Step 4: Start the Server

The transferred world will now load and be playable

Troubleshooting Tips

World does not appear in World Manager

• Ensure the folder is placed in the correct Worlds  directory
• Confirm the folder name was not changed

Server starts a new world instead

• Verify your world is the one set as active in the World Manage

Version mismatch issues

• Make sure both client and server are running the same Windrose version

Additional Tips

• Always keep a backup before transferring worlds
• Large worlds may take time to upload/download
• Avoid modifying files inside the world folder unless necessary
