Vintage Story Server Hosting | Instant Setup

Performance Upgrade

Stratum - One-Click High-Performance Server

The community-built server fork that makes Vintage Story run significantly better at higher player counts. Available on PingPerfect with a single click.

⚡ One-Click Install 🔓 MIT Licensed 👥 Client-Transparent 🔄 Actively Maintained

Stratum is a high-performance, server-side fork of Vintage Story created and maintained by the community. Its goal is to improve performance and fix gameplay inconsistencies that appear on larger multiplayer servers - without requiring any changes on the client side. Your players join exactly as they would a vanilla server.

If you're running a community server with 10+ players, running a modded world with a heavy mod list, or simply want your server to handle population spikes without hitches, Stratum is the recommended upgrade. It targets the Vanilla server's known performance pain points - tick processing, chunk handling, and netcode under load - and addresses them at the source code level.

Stratum releases are versioned to exactly match their target Vintage Story release (v1.22.3-stratum.12 = VS 1.22.3), so you always know it's compatible with the current game version. It's MIT licensed, open source, and actively developed.

View on GitHub Stratum Discord

Latest release: v1.22.3-stratum.12 (June 2026) - targets Vintage Story v1.22.3. Stratum is installed server-side only; your players need no changes on their end.

⚡

Server-Side Only

Stratum is a drop-in replacement for the standard Vintage Story server binary. Players connect using the normal game client - nothing to install, no version mismatch warnings.

📈

Higher Player Count Performance

The standard VS server shows performance degradation as player counts grow. Stratum specifically addresses these bottlenecks, making it the recommended choice for any server expecting 10+ concurrent players.

🎮

Gameplay Consistency Fixes

Beyond raw performance, Stratum fixes gameplay inconsistencies that appear under multiplayer load - things like delayed block interactions, inventory desyncs, and entity behaviour that feels "off" on a busy server.

🔄

Versioned to Match VS Releases

Every Stratum release is tagged against the exact Vintage Story version it targets. When VS updates, Stratum follows. The versioning scheme makes compatibility immediately obvious.

🔧

Full Mod Compatibility

Stratum is a server binary replacement, not a mod - it does not interfere with your mod list. All mods that work on vanilla VS servers continue to work on Stratum.

🔓

Open Source - MIT License

Fully open source under the MIT licence. The source code is available on GitHub, the development roadmap is public, and the community can contribute fixes and improvements.

The support team is very fast. I think it's the fastest support team you will ever get. When it comes to gaming servers. The support team is also very knowledgeable in what they do on every single game. That's freaking impressive. Because they reply within minutes. Not 30 minutes, not 25 minutes. Not even 20 minutes. They reply within about 3 to 5 minutes. That's really impressive.

I tend to forget to leave feedback, so I apologize for that. But I want everyone to know that the service support I have received from Pingperfect is EXCELLENT! I have only had my game server up for a little over 2 weeks and I sent in over 8 service tickets, but NOT because something was wrong, but because I was a newbie to the game server world. They answered EVERY question in a timely manner and even multiple follow up questions to the SAME ticket. I couldn’t be happier with their service. Keep it up you guys!

They earned my service. I have been using pingperfect for about 2 years now with various games and I have literally nothing bad to say. I have never had to wait for their assistance if I needed it and their control panel is one of the most user friendly interfaces I have used when it comes to a hosting service.
