Another round of bug fixing for the crossplay function. There are some further known issues still, but we're working on having them solved as soon as possible!

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.

Hello again vikings!

We hope you’ve all had a wonderful summer thus far, even with the heatwaves rolling in all over the world. The Iron Gate team has taken some time off to get some new energy, as is customary here in Sweden, but now we’re back at our desks and are already hard at work to bring you the next Valheim update.

We are aware that there has been an unfortunate issue with crashing over the past month. A fix for this is underway and is currently being tested, and we hope to have the solution done soon. In the meantime, if you should have your game crash and your save reset as a result, you can follow ... Read more

Greetings vikings!

This week it’s time for both Midsummer and the summer solstice, which has long since been a cause for celebration here in the north! Just like last year, you can celebrate in Valheim by building your own Maypole (or Midsummer pole, as we call them in Sweden). This year we’ve also added a flower crown, and some more colourful banners, to make the summer even more festive. We hope you’ll have some fun with it!



As we added the new items, we also updated the game with the Steam Cloud save fix that we have mentioned in previous blog posts. Hopefully this should mean a smoother game experience for all of you, and we want to thank everyone who helped test the update in the Public Test branch!

Last week we revealed that ... Read more
