Running into the “No Response From Remote Host” error in V Rising can be quite frustrating, especially when you’re all geared up to dominate the night with your vampire clan in the latest update. Whether you’re trying to join a friend’s server or hop into an official one, this guide will walk you through the most effective ways to get back to draining blood and building castles in no time.
The “No Response From Remote Host” error in V Rising sometimes pops up even in single-player mode. While it sounds like a server-only issue, V Rising runs even in solo worlds hosted by your machine. It’s essentially your own PC failing to connect to itself, which is as annoying as it sounds. So, how to fix it? Is there a fix?
V Rising No Response From Remote Host Error: How to fix it? (2025)
This isn’t a brand-new issue for V Rising, so thankfully, there’s already a range of workarounds that have helped players get back into the game. There are several fixes worth trying—and we’ve rounded them up here to help you get back to your vampire adventures as quickly as possible.
Basic checks
As a first step, try restarting your PC, then run V Rising (and Steam) as an administrator. Make sure the game is allowed through your Windows Firewall and any third-party antivirus software you have installed. Sometimes, these security tools can block the local server the game relies on, even in single-player, so giving V Rising the proper permissions can often solve the issue right away.
VPN
If you’re using a VPN, it could be the culprit behind the “No Response From Remote Host” error, even when playing solo. Some players have found that if the VPN was active when they first launched their world, the game may later fail to connect to its local server unless the VPN is still on or turned off entirely. Disabling the VPN before launching V Rising has resolved the issue for many.
IPv4
According to an official response, this error may be caused by the game not recognizing your correct local IP address. To fix it, first open Command Prompt (type cmd in the Windows search bar), type ipconfig, and locate your IPv4 Address, usually something like 192.168.x.x. Copy that address. Next, launch V Rising, try to start or join your server as usual, and when you see the error, open the in-game console by pressing the “~” key. In the console, type “connect {the IP you copied}” and press Enter.
Join via Code
Another way to connect without errors is by using an in-game join code to connect to a server. When you’re hosting a game, press ESC to bring up the menu, and you’ll see a game code listed just below your IP address. Share this code with the player who’s trying to join. They can then enter it via the Join Game screen using the “Join by Code” option. Just keep in mind that this method does require an active internet connection, even if you’re playing on a local or private server.
Used Mods?
One effective fix if you’ve used mods before in the game is to delete the BepInEx folder located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\VRising\VRising_Server. This folder is part of the modding framework and can linger even after a fresh install, possibly due to Steam Cloud syncing. If it’s present, it can interfere with the game’s ability to launch its local server, blocking both solo and online play. Removing it has helped some players restore normal gameplay, especially in single-player mode.
Verify game files
Another quick fix to try is verifying the integrity of your game files through Steam. To do this, right-click V Rising in your Steam Library, select Properties, go to the Installed Files tab, and click Verify integrity of game files. This will check for any missing or corrupted files and automatically replace them, often resolving issues that prevent the game’s local server from working properly.
Uncheck LAN
You can also uncheck the LAN box on the V Rising start screen before loading your game. After doing that, click Refresh and then try to load your world. If it still doesn’t work, exit the game entirely, reopen it, double-check that the LAN box is still unticked, and try loading again. This option can sometimes interfere with how the game connects to its local server, even in solo play, so disabling it is definitely worth a shot.
Reinstall
If nothing else works, a full reinstall of V Rising might be your best bet. After removing any lingering mod files, reboot your system, reload Steam, and reinstall the game. For some players, this refresh cleared out whatever was blocking the local server from running, whether it’s corrupted files, leftover mod data, or just a messy install. Once reinstalled, you should be able to launch a solo private game, save progress, quit, and reload without running into that frustrating error.
And those are all the workarounds we have for now to solve the no-response error in V Rising. We hope this was helpful and that you were able to get back to the game without any further issues.
