Valheim Dev Tracker

Jack-o-turnip will be added soon!

On a PC your saves will be stored in the same folder regardless of whether you're playing through Steam or with PC Game Pass, so you can theoretically easily switch over from one to the other. However, I would recommend choosing one platform and sticking to it (rather than switching back and forth continuously) in order to avoid conflicts with Cloud saves.
As for getting your saves over to Xbox, this should also work as the two Game Passes share the same Cloud service. You will need to play it with PC Game Pass first though, to get the saves from your computer to the Xbox Cloud, before you can access them from your console (you can't go directly from Steam to Xbox). Once again though, you should still choose either Game Pass or Steam, so that the two Cloud services don't try to conflict with each other.
The good thing about crossplay though is that it doesn't matter which you choose - you'll still be able to play with your friends regardless of whether you're all on conso... Read more

But again im about 99% sure they had a different team do the crossplay

That is my understanding as well. The console part was outsourced.

Hi! First of all, console is still a ways away (the release on the 29th is for PC Game Pass, while Xbox won't be released until early 2023).
As for patching, we will still keep the Public Test Branch in use, as we think it's a good way to let some users try out stuff before everyone gets access to it. Both testing and releasing will always be done with both multiplayer and singleplayer - no build will be locked to only allow solo play.
And it should only be the bigger updates that need thorough checking and validation before release, while hotfixes should still be possible to release on shorter notice. Even if hotfixes would need to be checked, it shouldn't affect the Default version of the game much, as it's ideally only the PTB that will be unstable. And the validation time isn't very long either, so there's no cause for worry! :)

Iron Gate Studio has the right to increase the price for people who do not now own a license to play. Where would one get the idea that they do not have that right?

And for those who think the price is to much. We regularly partitipate in steam sales so keep an eye out for those, or try Humble store which also does sales every now and then.

Hi! The Euro price adjustment was a decision from Coffee Stain Publishing, to ensure the game’s pricing is more in line with the American dollar price across the globe and corresponds with local exchange rates and markets. The Euro and US dollar exchange rate has changed since the game was first released, and now the pricing of the game reflects that.

You have to link your Youtube Account to your Steam Profile, then you can select which videos you want to add to your profile. This is the only way.

Thanks for sharing, Reitak!

I think it's good as it is now.

Exactly. you don't get stronger or heal in real life either if you don't eat.
Wounds stops to close and your stamina is pretty much gone :(

Originally posted by Biscuit_1337: My friends and I recently started playing on a private server, and we're really enjoying the game. We did have one question/concern about the Mistlands update. Since a new biome is being introduced, and maps are generated at world creation, will we have to start our world over once the update drops?

I'm assuming, since character data is separate from world data, that we would keep all our character specific progress (skills/inventory), so I'm not TERRIBLY concerned if we have to start over as it shouldn't take too long to catch up, but just wanted to know what to expect. Not sure if this has been an issue that came up in previous updates or not.

The world is generated as you explore. If no player has been to (or near) a specific Mistlands area, that area should still get the updated content! Anywhere you've already been will stay essentially the same, regardless o... Read more

Because most of our announcement posts got extremely clogged in the discussion section, often with unrelated and sprawling comments. You are still more than welcome to discuss the content in the announcements, you just have to make a separate post for it first! :)

Hi all!

We'd like to have some more Steam moderators on our team. If you think you'd be a good fit, please fill out this form: https://steamcommunity.com:/linkfilter/?url=https://forms.gle/RUVPBZpBxc9WFzMc7

We will be reviewing applications as they are submitted over the coming weeks, so please don't hesitate if you want to join. If we want to have you on the team, we will contact you on Discord.

Good luck!

Any diffrent game-modes will come around 1.0 release.
Easy, normal, hardcore, sandbox / creative mode (examples)

If we feel something is missing. it will be added =)
We don't work activly to update all biomes. We work on 1 update at the time.

Originally posted by Fluffy: So I've started playing two weeks ago maybe, spent ~200 hrs and completed the game in it's current state and i really love my world and what i have built and achieved in it. When the Mistlands is released, will i have to create a new world for the ML content to appear?

Mistlands is fully compatible will older worlds.
You will not have to make a new one =)

New content such as tar pits, mountain caves and Mistlands in the future will not appear in areas that have been already generated. Areas are generated 300-500 meters from a player's location. "Exploremap" and "resetmap" has no effect. In other words: Yes, all new content should appear in newly generated areas.

However, take this info from the FAQ with a grain of salt, the developers don't know this for sure, you may need to create a new world to access all the new content. It worked fine with the last updates (almost nobody had problems), but the Mistlands update is way bigger which could lead to more trouble in that regard. We'll see!

Threads are being created asking whether the devs will implement difficulty options.

The devs have already discussed such a feature, and also think it would be a nice addition. However, it still is just an idea which is considered for the future, but no final plans are made yet.

Therefore, please feel free to discuss about and suggest possible difficulty options in this thread. Also note, difficulty settings don't necessarily have to be the standard ones like "Easy", "Normal" and "Hard" (which are mainly adjusting Ai difficulty, and the player's vulnerability), but can also toggle specific features of the game, e.g. "No-Portal Mode", "Creative Mode", "Night Mode" or similar.
