How RuneScape: Dragonwilds Server Hosting Works
A dedicated RuneScape: Dragonwilds server keeps Ashenfall online 24/7, independent of any single player. Nobody has to host from their gaming PC, nobody gets kicked when the host logs off, and your group's progress lives in one persistent world.
Dragonwilds Server Settings and Your World Save
The dedicated server is driven by its DedicatedServer.ini config file, and the settings that matter — server name, admin password, and world settings — are all editable from our control panel without touching a file.
Bring Your Existing World
Already partway through Ashenfall in co-op? Upload your local world save to the server over FTP and keep every level, base, and unlock — no starting over.
Run It Private
Host a private world for your group with full control over gameplay settings, or open it up and build a community around your server.
Admin Control
Set an admin password to manage the server in-game, and use the control panel for restarts, updates, and configuration changes.
Backups
Download the server save any time over FTP as your own backup — cheap insurance before major game patches.
RuneScape: Dragonwilds Dedicated Server Requirements
A RuneScape: Dragonwilds dedicated server needs 2 GB of RAM plus about 1 GB per connected player, so a full six-player server wants 8 GB. It listens on UDP port 7777 by default, runs on 64-bit Windows or Linux, and will not start or appear in the server browser until an Owner ID is set. On a Survival Servers machine the ports, operating system and version updates are handled for you, and the Owner ID is a single field on the control panel. The table below is the full reference, including for anyone running the server themselves.
| Maximum players | 6 per server |
|---|---|
| RAM | 2 GB base plus roughly 1 GB per connected player, so 8 GB for a full 6-player server |
| Game port | UDP 7777 by default. A second server on the same machine uses 7778, and so on. |
| Port forwarding | The port must be reachable directly over UDP. A server that appears in the browser but cannot be joined is almost always a forwarding failure, not a server fault. |
| Operating system | 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, or 64-bit Linux |
| Dedicated server Steam app ID | 4019830, a free tool that installs with an anonymous SteamCMD login |
| Game client Steam app ID | 1374490. That is the game itself, not the server, and is not what you install on a host. |
| Owner ID | Required. The server will not start or appear in the server browser without one. Open the game client, go to Settings, and copy the Player ID shown at the bottom of the screen. |
| Config file | DedicatedServer.ini, under RSDragonwilds\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\ |
| Version matching | A server running a different build than the client disappears from the server browser rather than showing an error, so update the server after every patch. |
| Mods | No Steam Workshop. Server-side PAK mods are uploaded over FTP, and UE4SS mods are client-side only. |
| Multiplayer sign-in | Epic Games authentication. Steam players choose Continue With Epic Games on first launch, with no Epic launcher download needed. |
| 1.0 release | 15 September 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2, with crossplay across platforms. No console can run a dedicated server of its own. |
Dragonwilds Server Performance and Sizing

Frequently Asked Questions about RuneScape: Dragonwilds Server Hosting
RuneScape: Dragonwilds dedicated servers currently support up to 6 players. The server requires 2GB RAM plus 1GB per player, so a 6-player server needs 8GB. Host your own 24/7 persistent world and explore the continent of Ashenfall with your community anytime.
A RuneScape: Dragonwilds dedicated server needs about 2 GB of RAM as a baseline plus roughly 1 GB for every connected player, so a full 6-player server should have 8 GB available to it. RAM is the requirement most self-hosters underestimate. Dragonwilds runs on Unreal Engine 5, so a high single-thread CPU and NVMe storage matter as much as memory once bases and builds grow.
The dedicated server uses UDP port 7777 by default, and a second server running on the same machine uses 7778, and so on. If you self-host, that port has to be reachable directly over UDP, which means every router between you and your ISP needs the forward, and some ISPs block port forwarding altogether. A server that shows up in the browser but cannot be joined is almost always a port forwarding failure rather than a server fault. On a Survival Servers machine the ports are assigned for you and there is no router or firewall setup to do.
The RuneScape: Dragonwilds dedicated server tool is Steam app ID 4019830. It is free and installs with an anonymous SteamCMD login, so no Steam account credentials are needed: steamcmd +force_install_dir C:\DragonwildsServer +login anonymous +app_update 4019830 validate +quit. App ID 1374490 is the game client and is not what you install on a server.
Yes. The server will not start and will not appear in the server browser until an Owner ID is set, and that is the single most common reason a brand new Dragonwilds server never shows up. To find it, launch the game client, open Settings, and copy the Player ID shown at the bottom of the screen. On a Survival Servers machine you paste it into the Owner ID field on the control panel and the config file is written for you on the next start.
Yes. The dedicated server is a free Steam tool, app ID 4019830, and runs on 64-bit Windows or 64-bit Linux. You will need 8 GB of RAM free for a full server, UDP 7777 and 7778 forwarded through your router and firewall, an Owner ID in DedicatedServer.ini, and you have to update the server after every game patch or it silently vanishes from the server browser. Renting removes the port forwarding, the hardware, the DDoS exposure and the manual patching, and your server is online in minutes.
RuneScape: Dragonwilds servers are sold in 4-slot and 6-slot sizes, since 6 players is the game's cap. Survival Servers pricing starts at $2.48 for a 3-day trial. Every plan includes all 8 global locations, DDoS protection, full FTP access, instant setup and free location switching at any time. Current prices for each slot count and billing cycle are listed on this page.
