Valheim Dev Tracker

It's once again time for the Steam Awards!

Valheim is eligible for the "Labor of Love" category this year, so if you've had a chance to try out the Mistlands update in the Public Test Branch and think we've done a good job with it, we would be honored if you would give us your nomination!

And regardless of whether or not you're going to nominate us, we still hope you're having a good (though dangerous) time in the Mistlands!

This update is for the Public Test branch of Valheim, and may therefore be unstable. Before we launch this update to the Default version of the game, we want to make sure to have a chance to discover bugs and adjust the balancing, to give you the best game experience possible.
Access the Public Test branch by right clicking Valheim in your Steam library, and then select ‘Properties’. In the new window, select ‘Betas’ and type in the code “yesimadebackups”. The Public Test branch should now be available for you to choose from.
Be aware that there might be some minor offsets between the Steam version and the Game Pass version, but that we are aiming to keep the two as consistent as possible.

One more bug fixing patch to some PlayFab related issues. And the Jack-o-turnip is buildable now too, to brighten up those dark autumn nights…

Patch Notes:
Fixes & Improvements:

* Fixed a Linux-specific bug that deleted characters/worlds when moving them back and forth between Local and Cloud
* Prevent joining servers from the main menu if incompatible server version right away (instead of loading and then kicking you back out)
* More PlayFab tweaks
* Enabled Jack-o-turnip seasonal decoration item

Hello and welcome to the Crossplay patch!

This patch includes full crossplay support, which means that you will be able to play with any other Valheim player, no matter where they’re playing from. If your friends get the game through a different platform, you’ll be able to join their game and show them the ropes. Or why not invite them over to your world and show them all your cool buildings?

Our friends at Piktiv have worked hard to make sure the game looks and feels the same regardless of what platform you’re using, but the patch does entail a minor change to the GUI in the starting menu in order to make other people’s worlds as smooth as possible. If you’re playing as a Steam player with other Steam players, it will work just the same as before (with the addition of now being able to mark a server as favourite). If one or more players are playing from a different platform, there will instead be a join code that you can use in order to enter the game.

Greetings!

We’d like to start off with the good news that the patch we mentioned last time, which fixes an issue causing crashes and world resets, is live and working well. A big thank you to everyone who helped test it – if you also want to be part of our Public Test group, you can read more about it here.

Now though, on to those development updates! If you follow us on Twitter, you might have heard the whispers that we’ve been working on boss related stuff. This is still in progress, and while we want the boss to be a surprise for you when you first play, we can safely say that it will... Read more

This patch consists of an important fix to a bug which would cause the game to crash, often with a reset of the game world in the process. Both the crashing and the resulting reset have now been solved, and we have also added a function to let you automatically backup your saves.

If you have lost a world due to this issue prior to this patch, you can follow this guide to restore your progress.

If you’re playing on a dedicated server, make sure that the server host has updated the game before you play, in order to avoid unforeseen issues.
