Ingame Console

First, we need to enable the in-game console. This will allow you to run admin commands on your server.

Open the game and head to the main menu. Look for the button-marked options.

Once in the options screen, head to general.

Here you'll see a number of options and settings, the one we're looking for is to enable the console. Just press on the box and exit out the settings.

You can now access the in-game console with the ` button. For most keyboard layouts this is the button to the left of the 1 on the top row.

Adding An Admin

To add an admin, you'll need to locate the file at: /VRisingServer_Data/StreamingAssets/Settings/adminlist.txt

Here you'll need to place their steam ID.
