Need fast, clean moderation on your V Rising server? Here’s how to kick, ban, and unban in minutes with in-game console commands. Simple steps, zero guesswork.
Prerequisites
- Access to your Oxygenserv panel (login and password)
- V Rising server online and you connected in-game
- Admin password set (
AdminPassword) on the server - In-game console enabled and the
`(tilde) key working - Player’s Steam64ID (handy for precise unbans)
Detailed steps
-
Join your server and open the console
Launch V Rising, browse servers, and connect to yours. Once in-game, press`(below Escape) to open the console. You should see a command line at the bottom with a blinking cursor. If nothing shows, enable the console in Settings > Interface (or General), or tryShift+`/F1depending on your keyboard. -
Authenticate as admin with
AdminAuth
TypeAdminAuth YourPasswordand press Enter. You should see a confirmation like “Admin authenticated” proving you have admin rights. If you get “Invalid admin password” or “Unknown command,” the password is wrong or the console isn’t enabled. a) Go to Oxygenserv panel > Files > Config editor. b) OpenServerHostSettings.jsonand set"AdminPassword": "AStrongPassword". c) Save, restart the server, reconnect, then runAdminAuthagain. -
Kick a player instantly
Enterkick <playername/IP/UserID>and press Enter. Examples:kick DarkLord, orkick 192.0.2.10, orkick 76561198000000000. Use quotes if the name has spaces, e.g.,kick "Dark Lord". If you see “Player not found,” double-check exact spelling/case, or grab the UserID/Steam64ID from the panel > Console logs and try again. -
Ban a player (blocks future connections)
Typebancharacter <CharacterName>and press Enter to permanently block that character. Example:bancharacter "Dark Lord". You’ll get a confirmation and the player is disconnected if online. If the character name is unclear, kick first to check the exact name in chat/logs, then ban with the precise spelling. -
Unban a player cleanly
Useunban <Steam64ID>and press Enter. Example:unban 76561198000000000. To find a Steam64ID, ask the player, use a public SteamID64 converter, or check the Oxygenserv panel logs at the time they connected. If you get “ID not found,” ensure it’s a 17-digit Steam64ID with no spaces.
Tips & optimization
Prefer targeting by Steam64ID to avoid name collisions—it’s the most reliable method. Secure your AdminPassword (12+ chars, symbols, mixed case) and rotate it regularly to prevent abuse. Log ban reasons somewhere (ticket, note) so unbans remain transparent and justified. After heavy moderation, restart the server to clear ghost sessions and refresh the player list.
FAQ
The console won’t open when I press `, what now?
Enable it in Settings > Interface (or General), then try again. On some keyboards (AZERTY/ISO), try Shift+` or F1. If overlays (Steam/Discord) interfere, close them temporarily. As a last resort, check keybind settings in-game.
AdminAuth keeps failing, how do I fix it?
Ensure ServerHostSettings.json has "AdminPassword": "AStrongPassword", save, and restart the server. Reconnect and type exactly AdminAuth AStrongPassword (watch spaces/case). If you see “Unknown command,” the console isn’t enabled. Still stuck? Change the password in the file and try again.
I get “Player not found” when I ban/kick
The name may be wrong or the player left. Grab their Steam64ID from panel logs and kick via kick <UserID/Steam64ID>. For bans, use the precise character name (copy from chat/logs) and quote names with spaces. Avoid special characters that might not be parsed.
How do I find a player’s Steam64ID?
Ask the player for it (Steam profile) or use a SteamID → Steam64 converter. You can also retrieve it from the Oxygenserv panel logs when they connect. The correct format is 17 digits, e.g., 76561198xxxxxxxxx. Paste it directly into unban to avoid typos.
