Find Your Dragonwilds Server Logs

When a RuneScape: Dragonwilds server misbehaves, the log is where the reason is. You have two views of it: the short plain-English version in the Console, and the game's own full log file in the File Manager. This guide shows both, and which one to use for what.

Checked against RuneScape: Dragonwilds 1.0.1, October 2026.

What the Console shows

Dragonwilds' own log is long and technical, so the Console hides most of it and keeps a short list of plain-English lines, such as World loaded., World saved (...) and Your server is online - players can join now. A real error still shows, in red. RuneScape: Dragonwilds getting started lists the lines and what they mean.

For most problems this is enough. Look for red lines, and for the line starting RuneScape: Dragonwilds version, which tells you the build your server runs.

Download the Console log

The file you download is what the Console showed, with the colour codes removed.

1. Open the Console tab.
2. Click Download Log at the top right. On a phone it's the download icon.
3. Pick how far back to go:
   • Last 1 minute, Last 5 minutes, Last 30 minutes or Last hour
   • Earlier boots (7 days), which gives the last hour plus the first and last lines of every start in the past week

The download comes from the panel's own recording, so it reaches back before you opened the page. Clear Console only empties the view on your screen. The recorded log is kept, and Download Log still has everything.

Find the game's full log file

The full Unreal Engine log, with the lines the Console hides, is a file on your server.

1. Open the File Manager.
2. Go to RSDragonwilds/Saved/Logs/.
3. Open RSDragonwilds.log. Double-click it to read it in the panel, or select it and click Download to save it to your computer.

The log holds the whole session since the last start. Read it from the top for the game version, then from the bottom for the most recent trouble. Each restart starts a new RSDragonwilds.log and keeps the previous run's log in the same folder, renamed RSDragonwilds-backup- followed by the date and time, such as RSDragonwilds-backup-2026.10.29-08.54.15.log.

How to manage your server files covers opening, editing and downloading files.

Which log to send to support

Send both when you open a ticket:

1. The Last hour download from the Console, taken straight after the problem.
2. The RSDragonwilds.log file from the File Manager, if the server is still running or has just stopped.

Add what you changed just before it started going wrong. If you restarted the server since the problem, the log you want is the newest RSDragonwilds-backup- file, because the restart started a new RSDragonwilds.log.

If the file isn't there

1. No Logs folder - the folder only appears after the server's first start. Press Start, wait for Your server is online - players can join now. and open RSDragonwilds/Saved/ again.
2. The Console looks empty - Download Log comes from the panel's own recording, so pick Last hour to see what was recorded.
