This tutorial will guide you through the process of uploading an existing world save file to your VEIN dedicated server.
You may also refer to this guide on how to upload files to your game server.
If you get stuck at any time, GhostCap offers free server transfers. Just reach out to us on Discord.
This will delete or overwrite any progress you have made on the server.
Transfer From Another VEIN Server Provider
If you already have a VEIN server with another provider, then this is how you migrate your existing save to GhostCap.
- On your previous server, navigate to
Vein/Saved/SaveGames/and download yourServer.vnssave file. - Navigate to
Vein/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/and download yourEngine.inifile. - Log in to the GhostCap Panel and
Stopyour VEIN server. - In the sidebar, go to
File Manager. - Navigate to
Vein/Saved/SaveGamesand upload yourServer.vnssave file, replacing the existing file. - Navigate to
Vein/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/and upload yourEngine.inifile, replacing the existing file. - Start your server.
Transfer From A Local PC
Since VEIN update 0.023, the game stores your saves in your Windows user folder rather than the Steam install folder.
- On your keyboard press
Windows Key + R. - Go to this file path:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Vein\Saved\SaveGames - Copy your save file (for example:
YourSave.vns) to a safe location.
AppData └── Local └── Vein └── Saved └── SaveGames └── YourSave.vns
Saves made before update 0.023 may still be in the old location. Open your Steam library, right-click VEIN, select Manage > Browse Local Files, then navigate to Vein > Saved > SaveGames.
If you have moved your saves with a custom SaveDir line in your Game.ini, look in the folder you set there instead.
Uploading Your Save File
- Log in to the GhostCap Panel and
Stopyour VEIN server. - In the sidebar, go to
File Manager. - Navigate to
Vein/Saved/SaveGamesand delete the existing save fileServer.vns. - Upload your save file.
- Rename your uploaded save file to
Server.vns. - Start your VEIN server.
Vein └── Saved └── SaveGames └── Server.vns
The save file must be named exactly Server.vns for the server to load it.
