Dragonwilds Dedicated Server Setup

Install the official Dragonwilds server on Windows or Linux, configure the required values, forward UDP 7777, and find your world.

Last updated: 2026-07-27

Install

Add the free RuneScape: Dragonwilds - Dedicated Servers product in Steam, or install it anonymously with SteamCMD:

steamcmd +force_install_dir C:\MyInstallFolder +login anonymous +app_update 4019830 +quit

Run RSDragonwilds.exe. Jagex recommends the launch options:

-log -NewConsole

Size and network

Use a 64-bit Windows or Linux system. Reserve 2 GB plus 1 GB per connected player, and forward the selected port as UDP. The first server uses 7777 by default; additional instances increment the port.

Required configuration

Stop the server before editing settings—changes made while it is running can be lost.

Configure:

  • Owner ID: copy your Dragonwilds Player ID from the bottom of the in-game Settings menu.
  • Server Name: the public server entry.
  • Default World Name: the name used if the server creates a world.
  • Admin Password: grants access to server-management tools.
  • World Password: optional access password for players.

Jagex documents Linux settings under RSDragonwilds/Saved/Config/Linux/DedicatedServer.ini. WindowsServer uses the corresponding Saved/Config/WindowsServer location.

Find the server

Open the Public tab of the Worlds screen and search the exact, case-sensitive world name. If it does not appear:

  1. confirm client and server versions match;
  2. confirm every mandatory value is set;
  3. verify UDP forwarding and the host firewall;
  4. inspect RSDragonwilds/Saved/Logs/RSDragonwilds.log.
