[ashen token]

You didn't see cuz of the video fps yeah, but my point is for example i play apex legends with ultra settings and 200+ fps with adaptive option, cpu temps reach 100 and I don't get any stutters. I don't play with those settings usually but did it once to test

I read a lot about this problem in valheim and noticed a lot of players get stutters as well and at the same times a lot don't, some say it could be because of the old engine

Could it be a ram issue? I have 32gb 3200hz(allegedly) but recent windows update is showing the speed of ram as 3200mt/s

Appreciate your help in this matter man

[stark meadow]

Can't say why you are stuttering as it's not clear how you are stuttering.

Stutters due to instances resetting shouldn't be different on Vulkan vs d3d11 (default renderer), so that fact your stutters gets worse is probably not related to that.

Did you monitor your MAX temps and read the reddit thread I liked?

[stark meadow]

Did you lower clock speed for state 7 already? Voltage for state 7 look stock tho. I would recommend to check video like these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w03bINVnXGo. Best to google your card exact model and manufactures and try to find someone who has a undervolting video/article for the same card model. Players usually have to go through few crashes until they find stable voltage, but they usually end up with more fps and cooler temps, which would in your case also result in more stable card.

Valheim optimisations are constantly on the menu, but can't really say when or what will get optimised next. There are more imporant things that need to be optimised.

[hybrid jungle]

My game isn’t starting anymore via steam. When it starts I see a Valheim utility and after a short time it closing again. Anyone got help?

[stark meadow]

You can't reach the main menu?

[void robin]

Stock voltage was 1150 and stock speed 1360. I have the rog strix OC version of RX580.

[hybrid jungle]

I can’t

[stark meadow]

Check if your installation folder looks like this or if you have more files there: https://i.imgur.com/vdpdeOA.jpg

[hybrid jungle]

It doesn’t look like that. I’ll delete everything else

It’s working again tyyy

[stark meadow]

Did you check that video I linked? People just tweak the voltages by lowering them to make the card more stable. Only in the case of voltage not being high enough to maintain the desired frequency, you would also need to lower the frequency as well.

[void robin]

at work right now but will later today and let you know

[void robin]

That is pretty similar to the video I had watched and did. He runs 1300hz 1000v I ended up with 1200hz 1050v, My initial was 1360hz, 1150 vand his was 1340hz, 1150v.

It does seem like a voltage issue from what you, the video guy and everyone else is describing. The snowstorms do stress the GPU a lot and it can be that the kind of load makes the issue surface. It can just be the after 7 years running everything on ultra it just has started dying. Which makes sense but sucks...

If I end up applying new thermal paste I will test the storms again and will let you know

[stark meadow]

No one is saying that it's a voltage issue. It's just that lowering voltage lowers power usage, this drops the temps.
By lowering frequency and keeping the voltage the same, one doesn't do much in the stability department.

[fossil lodge]

I think Lox Trophy is bugged

[marble wolf]

In what way?

[fossil lodge]

I honestly have no words.

[stark meadow]

Anyone playing with mods?

[fossil lodge]

100% vanilla.

I slept and managed to get it off me, but once I got near it it latched back on.

[stark meadow]

Playing on a dedicated server or someone hosting their world?
Do you have other issues in your base? Like randomly taming enemies, slow loading of base, chests not opening, base loading slowly?

[fossil lodge]

Host, Peer to Peer.

Nothing of the sort. Music skips every now and then but I always assumed that normal

Ah, I managed to outrun it. I guess it's just stuck in the interim of reducing to a normal item and going into my inventory.. so it just follows me as all items do but doesn't go into my bag.

You think deleting all my files and reinstalling will help?

[stark meadow]

Have you tried just restarting the game already?

[fossil lodge]

I logged out and in, haven't restarted fully though. Will try it.

Cursed thing remains.

I think I'll just drag it somewhere into the distance.

[stark meadow]

Could you send me your world and character save?

[fossil lodge]

I don't have the net sadly to move such a sizely file

[stark meadow]

K, make a backup of your saves tho, so that in a case where you get a better connection, you can send them for inspection

[prime chasm]

not sure if this is known but sliding bug on fllamemetal is not fully fixed, I just slid to my death

[marble wolf]

It's still the same known bug.

[rare spruce]

Hello guys. I'm playing with a friend and i'm the host. My friend collected 400 onion seeds and had a connection issue. When he joined the server again all seeds just went missing. Is there anything we can do to get ours seeds back?

[void robin]

My bad. I misunderstood. So what is the best guess for the root of the issue?

[gilded sluice]

stuff and things

unity engine colliders

so it's not something we just can magically fix

[rocky orchid]

Remove the Ashlands

[marble wolf]

Remove part of the game? What a silly idea.

[dense crest]

So i was Just Playing rn First i Logged in and Everything was Black i could hear myself walking around but everything Black so i Restart the game everything good now i did play fight a boss sail back home and all i click save game crashes and i log in again and my boat is gone and i dont rly have the same items in my inventory as before someone got a tip how to fix this?

[fluid smelt]

is it intended that the ashen cape's block stamina cost reduction has no effect on the stamina cost of parrying?

[stark meadow]

What specs does your system have? How old is your power supply?

[stark meadow]

Not sure. Have to check with the devs.

[dense crest]

i dont know either but i def never before had problems running the game

[stark meadow]

You don't know how old is your PC?
You can click on help button on top of steam → then click system information → select the text there and paste it here on discord

[dense crest]

yeah gonna check that later to tierd now i dont even remeber what i did yesterday so cant rly remeber how old my pc is i dont even know how old my sister is

[marsh rain]

hey, my friend and i were playing on the prt before ashlands and would like to keep playing, our world shws up fine as does my character, but his does not. looking in back ups theres backups for his charater but they dont seem to work, it does not display any error message, hes just not able to see or select his character.

[stark meadow]

Public beta saves (0.217.17) can not be selected on live version of valheim (0.217.19)

Either you all have to play on PTB, or if you are playing on LIVE, your friend has to restore a pre-Ashlands backup of their character. Valhiem creates those backups automatically upon transitioning from pre-Ashlands to Ashlands version, and never deletes them.

[dense crest]

So when i logged in this morning my char was still there now the char is gone but the world is still there

[grizzled kraken]

I understand that the game has many interactions but is this really necessary?

like I am not sure if this is caused from the actual game design or poor coding

I don't really care about the temp
I am just not sure if this is healthy for the GPU

[stark meadow]

Could be the same thins I just wrote about in the comment above. Did you at any point play on public beta testing?
However, in your case, due to crashing during saving, the character if probably not loading because the game crashes while the character saving was in progress. This usually leaves temporary steam files (e.g. charactername.new.stmp) that disrupt character loading. Such .stmp files must be removed. Do you see any .stmp files when you click on manage saves button in the starting menu?

[dense crest]

yeah it showed something like that and i never played on testing

[stark meadow]

Can you screenshot it? (windows key + shift + S to cropa a portion of the screen which can then be pasted on discord)
If you see that .stmp file, delete it. Then you'll need to restore the latest character backups that is closest to the top on the backup list.

[dense crest]

lemme start up the game again just updated my pc

[stark meadow]

Delete all 3 of those saves

Then restore the one below those 3. Probably called ashlands.fch.old

[dense crest]

none like that there

[stark meadow]

How do you backups look like, once you have deleted those 3?

[dense crest]

than i have none named ashlands anymore ig

i deleted 2 now i have this but i cant press the button

[stark meadow]

You should have many more backups. Did you expand the backup list for ashlands?

Click that arrow button

[dense crest]

that is impossible

bc there is no button

[stark meadow]

Can you screenshot how your backups look like here:
https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorageapp/?appid=892970

Steam login into your web browser required to showcase all of your steam cloud saves

[stark meadow]

Download that one.

When did you start playing with that character? This month?

[dense crest]

like a week ago

[stark meadow]

Checks out then. However, it's weird that you have this file there, but you don't see it in game

If you really don't have this ashalnds.fch.old file in game, you must download this one from the browser

[dense crest]

i did do i have to pull it in some folder?

[stark meadow]

Download that file, then rename that file into ashlands.fch, then copy that ashlands.fch file and paste it into characters_local folder. Characters_local folder can be located on this location which you can copy and paste into your file path on windows (similar how you would paste web address):
%username%\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\characters_local

(copy paste the above line in the windows explorer address line)
If you have trouble reaching that folder, an another way to do so would be to launch the game and then click on the white button in the bottom left corner of the starting menu, called "show player.log"". By clicking that "show player.log" button, a folder will open up on your PC, where you will see characters_local folder.

[dense crest]

in the characters ordner bc i dont got a characters_local

[stark meadow]

You can place it in characters folder as well.

Then you need to relaunch the game. Open manage saves menu. Ensure that you now see ashlands.fch.old save file.
If you do, delete all of the previous saves we talked about:

Then restore ashlands.fch.old

[dense crest]

Seems to have worked

[stark meadow]

You have to delete ashlands.fch.new as well

This however won't stop your crashes. That is another issue that has to be dealth with.

If you crash one more time during saving, the same issue that you just solved will repeat itself.

Until you solve your crashes, it's best that you move your save from Cloud to Local (special button in the manage saves menu).

[dense crest]

well it only rly crashed 1 time so i dont rly think that thats gonna happen more often this was the only time in my 200 - 250 hours it ever crashed

[stark meadow]

You should at least start limiting your FPS in Valheim if you are not already.

[robust gale]

Hello there 🙂 I would consider this a small bug I suppose but it's purely based on a string of dialog so not much to it. To me this dialog does not make sense to happen in the Meadows biome. I am just now going through the Mistlands and when I finally used magic for the first time, Hugin comes to talk to me but his message seems to reference "These lands". While he could be talking about Valheim itself, it would make more sense if he said that while we were actually inside the mistlands since he references the mist. Do all creatures have a connection to the mist? (i.e. Greydwarfs, Skeletons, Wolves etc.) I'm not sure if this is an issue or not but I hope it was helpful. Loving the game so far!

[gilded sluice]

is it your first playthrough?

[fading adder]

Hi mates,
today I noticed a serious problem within my Valheim playthrough and I hope you can give me a hint how to solve it.
While fighting my way through the Ashlands I noticed there ist a new (3rd) update for the Galdr table available, named the Feathery wreath.
I managed somehow to get all the needed resources but the game doesn’t let me place the Wreath?!
I didn’t have a problem with the Runetable and the Unfading candles. Im sure it is not an issue of too less room, I just get the message „Invalid placement“ no matter what I do. Any ideas would be highly appreciated.
KR Andreas

[sonic estuary]

Where are you placing it? I think it needs to go on a wall

[jagged hamlet]

Might be that you need to hang it from the rafters or a wall.

[fading adder]

Ok, now I feel a little bit stupid 😄
Problem solved! I was already prepared to something like „Common issue you need to restart the game…“ 🤪
Thank you so very much!!!

[gilded sluice]

slap it on a wall

[robust gale]

Yes 🙂

[gilded sluice]

some texts are mostly flavour filled and isn't actual

[winged ivy]

Unsure if bug or hidden feature, but I popped a health potion right as I dodge rolled, and my viking entered a matrix like state, all the enemies slowed right down and I could move normal speed for duration of potion. Vanilla Version, never ever installed a mod.

[stark meadow]

It's an old bug. Can happen with consuming food also.

[pearl jackal]

Anyone know how to stop the stuttering, i have a good graphics card with 32gb ram and every graphices setting it still stutters

[jagged hamlet]

As in when it is saving?

[stark meadow]

What are your system specs?

[gilded sluice]

🤔

[gilded sluice]

1. remove mods
2. apply V-sync or limit FPS
3. update drivers
4. manage heat
5. ask me in a DM if you still have problems and we shall look at it

[hollow geyser]

Something I noticed- am not sure if it's intended: While raining, when you portal to a biome where precipitation does not apply 'wet' debuff (ex. mountain), you still get wet after traveling through portal

[toxic river]

Its the way that the game handles weather and location while going through a portal

It'll register that you are outside the first biome before it registers that you're in a different one

[hollow geyser]

Ah- so you'll see and be affected by rain before it quickly corrects. It's not game-changing, but I wanted to mention it. Is it something devs are aware of?

[gilded sluice]

yes

super old thing

[stray sorrel]

so can anyone help me on knowledge of y valhiem keeps closing the game and dashboarding to my desktop screen?

[stray sorrel]

so what if i go to the common folder and i dont see a valhiem folder in the common one what do i do after

[bright coral]

Are you on Linux, macOS, or Windows, and does the game remain on, just hidden/minimized?

[stray sorrel]

windows

no after the emblem pops up with one of these ! IT CLOSES THE GAME

sorry caps lock was on

[bright coral]

It's worth checking your Player.log then in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\Player.log. If you've already restarted the game, there may be a previous session log from the crash in the same folder.
You might also find a crash log in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp\IronGate\Valheim\Crashes with timestamp around the time of that closing. If there is a crash log, that's going to be a good hint as to what component was responsible for the crash.

[stark meadow]

So you can't reach the main menu? Ever used mods?

[stray sorrel]

the only mods that is used are the modifiers that com with the game and thats what changes the world effects

[bright coral]

Is it closing before reaching the menu screen every time or closing at random?

[stark meadow]

If you can't reach the starting menu, the first best thing to do is to do a clean re-installation of the game.
Check how to do the short re-installation in the Section 5 of this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/uq9b8x/my_valheim_is_crashing_fix_for_crash_guide/
Other issues launch issues are usually related to input devices, antivirus that might be clocking Valheim or some issue with GPU or graphic drivers.
List you PC specs if re-installation doesn't help.

[stray sorrel]

thats what its doing

[hard bridge]

That icon indicates a mod issue. What mods do you have installed? Even Bepinex with nothing enabled can cause issues.

[stray sorrel]

i need someone to discord call me cause i have no clue and im getting comfused

[stark meadow]

So you are basically crashing at random time while playing the game?

[stray sorrel]

yes

[stark meadow]

Do you know your system specs (cpu, gpu, if laptop, which laptop model)

[stray sorrel]

on minute

[stark meadow]

If you pick Systeam informaion on Steam, you can copy paste this info here:

[stark meadow]

Doesn't seem like anything is wrong with the specs alone.

[stray sorrel]

thats what im not understanding

[stark meadow]

What program are you using to display these on your screen?

And have you been using it before the crashing started?

[stray sorrel]

yes and yes

[stark meadow]

How's that app called?

[stray sorrel]

Valhiem [public test]

[stark meadow]

How's the app called that you use to display these in the corner of your screen

[stray sorrel]

i think its called MSI afterburner

[stark meadow]

Did you use MSI afterburner to tweak any of your GPU settings? (e.g. clock speed, memory clock, power, adjust fan curve)

Or are you just using it to display FPS, and GPU usage on top of the screen?

[stray sorrel]

im only using it to see the stats

[quick gyro]

Hi everyone. I have tried everything on the internet to correct the valheim.exe is not responding error that I get after playing for 10-30 minutes (steam client). I have an AMD processor, nvidia 3060 ti, and have gone through everything I've found on the internet with no success. Can anyone help with this?

[quick gyro]

My DMs are open 🙂

[quick pulsar]

Anyone know if turnips are suppose to be able to be displayed on item stand?

[gilded sluice]

Hmm... Interesting

That's a new issue

[stark meadow]

Try playing Valheim with it completely closed. Must not be visible running in task manager or as a small icon next to clock. Next time you crash, don't lauch Valheim again, rather send me a DM.

[stark meadow]

Take notice next time if this happens during saving. How much RAM do you have?

[gilded sluice]

MSI afterburner are a known problem for valheim, but also alot of other Unity game engine based games 🤔

[quick gyro]

I have 32gb. I turned off steam cloud saving and played for a little over an hour last night without crashing, which is my new PR

[stark meadow]

How do you currently have your in-game Vsync and FPS limiter set?

[quick gyro]

Vsync off and I believe I’m at 150 fps limitaa at

[mighty ibex]

Alright yall, I'm at my wit's end on this. My GF and I have several hundred hours in the game and we took a break at the end of January. After Ashlands released, we tried playing again BUT she has not been able to play the game. Upon starting the game she sees the Coffee Stain splash screen (sometimes makes it as far as the Irongate screen) and the "Loading" hammer in the lower right. The screen locks up or goes black there. I can still see/move the sword mouse pointer. Sometimes I can ALT+F4 out, other times the PC needs a manual restart because it doesn't respond to keystrokes. Vanilla game, no mods ever. Tried reinstalling to no effect. Tried using the nVidia control panel to force vsync off and limiting refresh rate to 60 (just makes it crash faster).

I can post steam's system info if wanted

Last time I let the game 'run' for a good 5 minutes to see if the Player.log wrote up anything helpful, but it barely writes anything at all, much less any useful errors

[hard bridge]

Do other games work alright? It might be worthwhile to clear/backup your local user game data in case there's an issue loading something there.

[mighty ibex]

Other games work fine, in fact we play other much more graphically demanding games all the time.

[mighty ibex]

The strangest thing is that I went to load up the game on her PC the other day intending to see if I could get the log file to write anything and the game LOADED. Logged into the world and played for a few minutes without any issue. After that, however, it went right back to crashing while loading to the title screen every time

Zero changes were made (I didn't want to risk something being off in the logs), so I have absolutely no idea what caused it to work or start crashing again

[gilded sluice]

sounds solveable 🤔

gimme the player.log file

[slender charm]

Hello I am getting a bug with my Karve where it is always splashing even when holding still and it has been moving of it own accord

[mighty ibex]

Here's the Player.log file, but I think you'll find it as underwhelming as I did

I also have a Player-prev.log which has more in it, if you'd like that

[gilded sluice]

so looks like something else is the problem 🤔

drivers issue or sometthing

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/view-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-97fbc472-c603-9d90-91d0-1166d1d9f4b5

windows event viewer is amazing tool

could be. steam cloud issue, steam not running when it wants it to run (starting from a shortcut on the desktop), drivers issue, windows update issue

[stark meadow]

I'm willing to beat that every time you end up with Valheim crashing at launch, you would be able to load it under reduced GPU load.
If that turns out to be the case, it means that you GPU is not stable at 100% GPU usage = high power consumption.
An important test that you should do, is locking Valheim FPS to 30 via Nvidia control panel and reducing Valheim resolution before launching it.
You can read more about this in Section:Point6 of this guide for more details:
https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/uq9b8x/
Other games that you play on that system are probably not as intensive as Valheim when it comes to GPU utilisation and power usage. They usually aren't.
If you were to run some serious GPU benchmarks, you would most likely experience same issues.

[mighty ibex]

We had already locked the FPS and shut off vsync to no effect. If anything, that just made the game lock up sooner. Yes, I have read that very guide and tried a number of fixes from it - none have worked

Amusingly, locking down the framerate with nVidia control panel made the game behave strangely - the splashcreens and rotating hammer were significantly sped up. Still crashed, but it was odd nonetheless

[stark meadow]

To what number have you tried locking FPS to?
Are you able to you launch Valheim at this moment without crashing?

[mighty ibex]

Not right this second (that PC is in use for something else right now). We locked it to 60fps for Valheim specifically. Monitor is otherwise set for 144 (native freq) in OS and such

[stark meadow]

Ok, be free to DM me when you will have some time to launch Valheim later.

[frosty spindle]

Game randomly crashes, no error messages unfortunately.
Happens when i join my friends server and play on it for a while
Playing on a 3090 Ti + 12700k
Hardware and temps are fine, this does not happen in benchmarks or other games, only valheim.
I tried both the regular engine and vulcan.
I also tried reducing the graphics settings, it runs completely fine on max for me but was just trying to troubleshoot.

Tried googling and tried to troubleshoot, but nothing really matches up that much

No mods are being used, completely vanilla game and no old bepinx folder

It doesnt crash during the main menu, only upon joining my friends server after like 10-20 minutes

Tried with vsync enabled and disabled

fresh re-install and verifying files didnt solve anything too unfortunately

32GB Ram

[stark meadow]

In what way do you crash? Which benchmarks apps? Did you reset BIOS to default + no tweaks after?

[versed oriole]

At least I am not the only one seeing start-up forever hammer screens and complete power shutoffs during play. All of this is very recent too. 🥴

[gilded sluice]

in the PTB?

power shutoffs isn't valheims fault. it's hardware or drivers related usually

[slender charm]

Any idea why The boat would be acting this way? It was changing direction on its own and going forward and backward. Also it sounds like it is moving all the time even when nobody is on the boat and it is staying still. It creeps me out. Like the boat is possessed.

[slender charm]

oh and the other players in the boat vibrate

[stark meadow]

Playing with mods? Have you tried reconstructing the boat and restarting the server?

[versed oriole]

Correct.

[versed oriole]

We went to Reddit and had to stop using Vulcan. That seemed to settle the shut-off problem for now. The loading forever thing, I'm going to start looking at now.

[stuck cairn]

whenever i try and make a new world or load an old world my game crashes to desktop

[stark meadow]

Please be aware of the following whne loading worlds: #steam-bugs-discussion message

[gilded sluice]

if you are on the PTB. don't report the issue in this channel. you must post in #valheim-public-test

[versed oriole]

Oops. Okay, I'll move it over.

[gilded sluice]

if it happens in vanilla, I would be very scared.
if it happens in PTB: we know about the problem already

[stuck cairn]

Oh ok

[frosty spindle]

furmark and occt, so tested both the gpu and cpu for temps and the crashing is just the game closing, thats it

[slender charm]

nope vanilla

and yeah tried rebuilding and even restarted the game

I uninstalled and reinstalled and still the boat is still doing it

what is PTB?

[untold briar]

most of the time roofing over campfires dont work as the campfire will still go out in the rain, the only way i have seen to fix this issue is to destroy the roof and rebuild it which can get tedious after while because even that does not always work

[stark meadow]

wind is able to put the campfires down as well, so you might need side walls

[stark meadow]

Are you the owner of that world and hosting it via in-game solution?
Or is it a dedicated server?

[stark meadow]

Random crashes are usually CPU related. Did you try resting BIOS to default + no tweaks after?
Did you grab any of the player.log files after a crash?
Furmark is more of a performance tester.
Not sure how OCCT is good for stress testing, as it failed to show any Intel microcode related instability when I asked players to test their 14th Gen Intel CPU-s (while they were crashing randomly only in Valheim). It's pretty much confirmed that the issue was in their CPUs not Valheim.
This however doesn't apply to your 12700k, just proves in my eyes that what ever is causing crashing in Valheim is not getting stress tested in OCCT. In fact nobody from them found a benchmark program that would show their system instability, so I can't recommend any in particular.

[slender charm]

I am the owner and in game invite, but we switched worlds and went with my friend as hosting and still have the same problem.

Also we do have a dedicated server we play on we checked there also and all three boats were spraying water as if moving while staying still

[stark meadow]

Does the issue happen in single player?

[slender charm]

The waves yes

But only the other players vibrate so I am unable to check that

It has happened before, but usually resolves itself or will resolve with a logout and reload. But this time it is not resolving itself

I could hop on and do a share screen if it would help

I don’t know where the logs are

[stark meadow]

Which GPU do you have? Also check how much FPS you have when you are near the boat (F2 button).

[upbeat ore]

I am not able to play valheim whatsoever. Ive been able to launch the game and get to the main menu, character select and world select with no issues but as soon as i launch any world, even a brand new one with any character pre ashlands or brand new the game says valheim.exe is not responding and im given the option to wait or close it. I've reinstalled the game. checked to make sure only the essential valheim files are installed (they are) updated graphics drivers, made new characters and worlds and verified the integrity of the game files themselves with no success. I have no idea what the issue is or how im supposed to fix it

this is what pops up after i launch any world. Ive waited for more than 10 minutes for it to sort itself out and its never worked

[marble wolf]

You need to wait a few minutes without tabbing out or touching the mouse. The game is updating your world.

[boreal light]

I'm not sure that can call a bug, but wild run and corpse run have the same icon and it's not cool. it seems like a small thing, but it affects the feeling of the game

[marble wolf]

Definitely not a bug. Maybe a change to suggest in #suggestions?

[boreal light]

maybe yes

[rapid vessel]

Is it intended that chickens won't eat Ashvine seeds?

[gilded sluice]

Totally agree with you on that one 🤔

[rich pier]

still no bug fix for fires getting wet inside Shield Generator... 🫠

[stark meadow]

There might not be a fix for that.
Shield Generator wasn't envisioned to act as roof replacement entirely.
However, Devs are considering it.
There are more important bugs that need fixing tho.

[rich pier]

Player doesn't get wet same way the fire should get wet. Didn't type anything about roofing.
That would be like saying we want the rested buff on a Shield Generator while not under a roof. Clearly not what I typed.

[stark meadow]

Fires can also be put out by wind, there was also no plans for shield generator to provide protection over wind.

Even with the rain fix for fires under shield generator, your fires will still get put off by the wind during storms.

[rich pier]

Sure. But again, that's not what I typed. Not sure which messages you are reading.Rain is disabling fires in Shields.
No one talked about wind, which is necessary for windmills.

[stark meadow]

I understand what you are saying. I'm just explaining to you why the bug **might **not be fixed. The issue has been reported, it's Dev's choice.
You can think of it this way, shield generator is strong enough to protect building pieces from the rain, but is not strong enough to protect fires (rain mist).

[rich pier]

How do you know it's a dev choice? Can you provide the source? Or is this your understanding from the dev's silence about this? I only saw Smiffe answer with a shrug gif.

[stark meadow]

I'm saying it's a Dev's choice whether the shield generator should protect fires. I'm saying it's not my choice.
I'm just explaining to you why it might not get fixed. It was never intended for shield generator to protect fires in the first place.

[rich pier]

Ahh yes, so it's a dev choice in the same vein that everything in this game is their choice, because it's their game.
Very useful information and explanations from a non-dev, non-moderator. Gotcha. Nice hobby you got here.

[marble wolf]

It's true though.

[rich pier]

obviously

[stark meadow]

The reason why I went into unnecessary explanation for it being a Dev's choice, is because you misunderstood me in the comment before, thinking I was saying that the Devs have already decided not to fix it, which I did not say.

The reasons I listed as to why it might not get fixed, are the Devs reasons. I've been helping Devs report and reproduce bugs for a long time now, and this was not considered as a bug. In fact, the reported issue was once closed already with a decision to not be fixed. I re-opened the issue again, as I was under false impression that the wind was the main reason for fires going out under the shield.

what some people assume is a bug. might something be a feature, or something we don't deem we need to fix / solve

sometimes something unexpected happens. and we just think it's a fine thing to exist

[jagged hamlet]

Sometimes it would involve too much work for something minor and gets put on the "when we feel like it and have time but maybe never pile".

[marble wolf]

Wait, what?

No, that's why I asked.

[jagged hamlet]

Where are your pants?

I bet you wear them as a crown.

[pliant pebble]

Hey, I just arrived here... My games crashes me out suddenly without any dialogs or anything it just exits the game
how can i fix the issue

[stark meadow]

What are you system specs?

[pliant pebble]

very high, a decent pc

[stark meadow]

That might be the problem. Please check exact specs

[pliant pebble]

RTX 3060 Ti / Ryzen 9 3900X

The thing is i used the run the game few days ago without any issues

[stark meadow]

Did you grab any log files after a crash?

Check yout optional windows updates, do you have any mentioning AMD related stuff or new chipset drivers?

[pliant pebble]

I've fixed it, seems i cant use discord on my second screen

[gilded sluice]

Sounds like you use some 3:rd part program for something and then you crash

Like medal, msi afterburner or something

[pliant pebble]

oh not really i fixed the issue thanks a lot

[gilded sluice]

Because you're the first person with that issue in that case

Because I sit constantly with discord open and Valheim running 🤔

[midnight cedar]

i have some issue with the game. at random times on the game it close my screen and i have to restart my computer.

[jagged hamlet]

Using mods? Updated gpu and other drivers?

[midnight cedar]

no mods and all update

and new moniter

[stark meadow]

What system specs do you have? Is the new monitor drawing more power than the last one?

[midnight cedar]

i change the old moniter bicase it was 7-10 old

but

i had the same problem with the old one too

[stark meadow]

What system specs do you have? (CPU, GPU)
How old is your power supply?

[midnight cedar]

sorry im not to expert on this. were i can check my system?

[stark meadow]

If you are playing on Steam, you can copy text from here.

How old is your PC?

Entire PC is 2 years old, or do you remember upgrading only certain parts of it?

[midnight cedar]

all the pc

i too me and my friend 2 the same pcs but only i have this problem

[stark meadow]

Your components don't have any obvious problems so the problem is most likely related to software.
Can you check windows updates, but specifically also check optinal updates as well

[midnight cedar]

i will try again

[stark meadow]

If you are on w11, it should be under windows updates → advanced options → optional updates

Do you have any optional updates on this list?

[stark meadow]

Look ok. Have you tried re-installing your Nvidia drivers yet?

[midnight cedar]

i did try olso the drive manager

no

[stark meadow]

Ok, will send you a personal message, so we can continue talking there, so that we don't spam the channel.

I tried to launch the game with vulkan and it crased by the "valheim is not responding" thing

now whenever I try and open the game it crashes within the first few seconds

shows a little unity crash report thing, and I cant create a new charecter

[stark meadow]

At which point did you get "valheim is not responding" message the first time?

When loading a world? Or even before starting menu loaded?

[lapis grove]

before starting menu

im trying to start a new game

[stark meadow]

Can you now launch in d3d11?

[lapis grove]

what is that?

[stark meadow]

default, so not vulkan

[lapis grove]

no that freezes and crashes prettu quickly

but it shows the unity thing not the windows thing

[stark meadow]

Using mods?

[lapis grove]

no

[sonic estuary]

Have you used mods before?

[lapis grove]

no

[stark meadow]

Try doing the short re-installation then (Section 5): https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/uq9b8x/my_valheim_is_crashing_fix_for_crash_guide/

If that doesn't work, list your specs

[lapis grove]

i tried un-installing and re-installing but that didnt help

[stark meadow]

Read the Section 5 first, before you say you tried it

[lapis grove]

it says it is for problems with leftover mod files, I have never downloaded a mod for this game, is that still what i should try?

[stark meadow]

It helps with more than that

You also might have mod files without even knowing about it

[lapis grove]

Appears to have worked

what exactly did deleting that one file do?

also, will launching with vulcan work now?

[stark meadow]

It reset your game settings to default. You can try Vulkan.

It generally increases performance, at the cost of power draw and raising temps, which can make some systems unstable

[celest island]

Weird glitch, just noticed. If I put wolf into a hole in the ground and leave the area through the teleport, then come back the wolf is gone.

[lapis grove]

well it just froze again, so its likely not in the cards for me

[stark meadow]

What specs do you have?

[lapis grove]

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor 3.60 GHz
32.0 GB of RAM
NVIDIA GeForce RTX2060 SUPER

[stark meadow]

There are no generall issues like that. If it's happening consistently for you, must be related to somethign else.
Night wolves despawn in the morning.

[celest island]

Never noticed that in the game before updates. Used to shove as many wolves as I wanted into mountain pit and come/leave as I want without them despawning. happens to both night and day.

[stark meadow]

If you really wanna run in Vulkan, I would look at Section4 in the guide. Additionally some apps are incompatible with Vulkan, like FRAPS used for recording. If Section4 doesn't help. chances are that you card is slightly overtured, so Vulkan is pushing it too far. I would try downclocking the card slightly via MSI afterburner (google downvolting RTX2060 SUPER + add your manufacturer).

[lapis grove]

how big of a deal is vulcan, I just tried it cause I thought it would be intresting

well failed to try it, I should say

[stark meadow]

Can increase FPS in large bases when everything else won't, which is often very much needed. You can also attempt playing in d3d11 but with these tweaks:
https://i.imgur.com/Atd2zaE.jpg

[lapis grove]

meh, Ill prolly just keep playing normal, if FPS comes to that I'll try those tweaks, thank you for all of your help

[stark meadow]

Did the wolf die or despawn?
Night wolves will always despawn in the morning if you don't start the taming process.

[celest island]

wolf despawned during the day, the meat was still there. i'll try again and stay till it's tamed

[stark meadow]

Are you playing on a dedicated server? What ever the type of server, was it recently restarted before the wolf died?

[celest island]

no, just personal server

[spare jewel]

Hi 👋🏻
I have a strange bug that occurred today. It's about teleports.
I have one teleport that says it's not connected even though it worked perfectly fine yesterday. I went to the location where the other teleport is, and that one worked (said it's connected) and when I went through it, it brought me to the random location in the house instead where the problematic teleport is. And ofc it still shows that that one is not connected. 🤦🏻‍♀️
Did anyone have a problem with it or knows how to fix it? I tried to rebuild the one that was bugged but it didn't help.

[stark meadow]

You will have to reconstruct both teleporters in singleplayer, in order to fix it

You can aslo attempt to deconstructing them, restart the server, then build them again.

[spare jewel]

Yeah, seems like that will be the only way. I hope it will work.
Thank you for your time. 😁

[stark meadow]

Btw. if you are taming animals close by, in cases when the owner restarts the server, ensure that all clients that were connected completely restart their game, before joining the server again. At least until the current public beta versoin of the game doesn't go live.

[urban magnet]

old world and spawn is somehow in the middle of the ocean high up in the sky and my builds got destroyed

trees sinkign underwater

[gilded sluice]

Did you use to play with mods enabled?

[stark meadow]

Looks like you mismanaged your world save files and combined wrong. fwl with wrong. db file.. Was your world being hosted on a dedicated server?

[gilded sluice]

possibly a case of restoring files incorrectly. or steam cloud being problematic

[urban magnet]

yes

its vanilla nd its dedicated

[stark meadow]

Some 3rd party hosting site like gporal?

If you are the owner of the server, you will have to connect to your dedicated server via some FTP program, and copy all the backups you have from your world. Then you would have to locate the latest pair of .db and .fwl file that match (same timestamp + timestamp from the time when world was ok) and you would have to rename those backup files to orginal names. Like renaming (worldname_auto_backup-timestamp.db into worldname.db)

Best to test the newly formed saves files in singleplayer (place them in this folder:https://i.imgur.com/NjqMdru.jpg), before uploading them back to the dedicated server via FTP program

[hoary remnant]

Is it only me or does the Fader fight cause alot of lag?
When I was fighting him it was ok but when I went back to my meadows base to restock both me and my friend had tremendous amounts of lag (5-6 fps)
We went back to the ashlands to finish the fight where the fps returned

[lapis grove]

Valheim started crashing again? I didn't change anything

I just started a new world yesterday, it was fine. now it crashes before I can load in. I didn't start vulcan or anything of the sort

[marble wolf]

Crashes or you just get program not responding?

If it's the latter, you just need to wait a few minutes without tabbing or moving the mouse.

[lapis grove]

Crashes, like a full unity one. What happens is when it is zooming out for the world select it freezes and then crashes

[marble wolf]

Any mods installed?

[lapis grove]

Nope, never used them

[lapis grove]

Update it also just crashes if I wait long enough

I opened the settings menu and after a bit it crashed

[stark meadow]

Which system specs?

[lapis grove]

It seems like I can get in a game if I outrun the crash

like quickly press charecter select and world select

[gilded sluice]

let me look at your player log 🙂

[lapis grove]

Here

[lapis grove]

How would one do that?

[gilded sluice]

In this hidden folder in windows:
C:\Users\ <username> \AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim

[lapis grove]

that whole folder or just a part of it?

[gilded sluice]

player.log file

just drop it in this chat

[stark meadow]

Oh so your crashes are not related to Vulkan then. Enable Steam FPS overlay, check if FPS in the menu is capped at 60fps

[gilded sluice]

and the player-prev file?

[lapis grove]

Appears to be, in that it doesent go above 60, but my monitor refresh rate is 60hz

[gilded sluice]

Hm... 🤔

[gilded sluice]

I would start with cleaning your GPU drivers

https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/57037

do this

[lapis grove]

Would this require administrator powers?

[gilded sluice]

not sure to be honest. maybe? 🤔

[lapis grove]

My dad has covid rn so I cant then

[gilded sluice]

oof. sorry to hear

[lapis grove]

but I can load into a game

[gilded sluice]

but I don't think you need admin for it

[lapis grove]

I just need to speed past the menu

[gilded sluice]

no. when your GPU drivers start to mess up, it can crash after 1 minute, or 200 minutes

like. game wants your GPU to do something, GPU asks driver and driver can't do it because the instructions are wrong. so you crash

hence you need to do a clean install every now and then

since GPU drivers just add ontop of the old ones

always

[stark meadow]

Yeah, crashes in the main menu when FPS is locked point out that you will crash while in game as well. Grab a playerlog next time after you crash tho, but after you launch the game again. Def. reinstall drivers. I've seen quite a few super variants of nvidia cards crashing lately. Undervolting is usually permanent solution, but best to leave that as last resort.

[lapis grove]

It appears I need admin powers

[gilded sluice]

Damn :/

[lapis grove]

Why does it end up crashing tho?

And why does it not crash near immediately if I load into a game?

Also, sometimes the crash causes both my monitors to seemingly restart, like both go black and one shows a symbol it shows on startup

[gilded sluice]

basicly valheim tells the graphics card to do something, and the driver responsible for that something is corrupted and then it just breaks

[pallid ridge]

I just got the game and I started a new world but I’m stuck on an infinite loading screen what do I do?

[bright coral]

Chances are it's not done creating your world yet. I recommend waiting a few minutes longer. You don't get much feedback on the process unless you're following the internal log output.

[worldly salmon]

Has anyone else had experience with the game occasionally deciding "this one specific enemy is going to be invulnerable to attack for as long as I see fit"? It was all fun and games when we were using the occasional immortal greyling as a punching bag, but then the game decided to throw an arrowproof deathsquito at me (I'm still in the bronze age) and I nearly ragequit.

[gilded sluice]

yes

usually happens in multiplayer with some lag

[worldly salmon]

Ah. Yeah there's about a 10 timezone gap between some of the players in the server so that's probably it

Seeing a deathsquito fly towards you while actively on fire and taking zero damage is pretty demoralising ngl

[misty terrace]

Hey all, for some reason my Valheim starts up, only shows the Valheim text, but never actually reaches the main menu before crashing. I was playing with mods, now I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing worked.

Any idea what's happening? I last played normally at about 19 Aug

[stark meadow]

Do the short re-installation of Valheim as Section5 in this guide suggests: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/uq9b8x/my_valheim_is_crashing_fix_for_crash_guide/

[misty terrace]

Done that, didn't seem to fix anything

[stark meadow]

Have you double cheked that you installation folder now looks like this?
https://i.imgur.com/vdpdeOA.jpg

Restart steam next, probably best to restart the entire PC tbh.
Are you using any 3rd party security anti-malware software?

[misty terrace]

wtf

restarting the pc works

[stark meadow]

It was probably Steam that wasn't functioning.
Valheim can't be launched if Steam is not working properly.

[misty terrace]

Huh okay, I launched it from steam so I didn't think steam was the fault

Thanks again for the help!

[gilded sluice]

yeah. do you know if the server uses crossplay or not?

[worldly salmon]

nope, we're all on PC

[gilded sluice]

crossplay is still default on PC

press escape key ingame and see if you have a join code

[loud wasp]

where are tickets for bug report?

just found dupe glich

xD

https://streamable.com/nmo9dl

[languid knot]

hey, i recently bought the game and wanted to play, but everytime when i tried to start a world and clicked "start" button i get into the loading screen black and the loading logo at the bottom and it just freezes there, i tried to do it with local save, with cloud save, same result, i even tried it with my steam deck i still get the game to the same spot with the black loading screen and freeze, in the log file it says that is is missing myworld.db, i have the fwl files, so what else should i try? (i deleted both local and cloud saves as well)

[stark meadow]

Check this comment: #steam-bugs-discussion message

[stark meadow]

Reporting here is enough. Probably happened due to rag doll being on top of it. Haven't seen this one before.

[languid knot]

it worked after waiting 1-2 min tnx

[gilded sluice]

Everyone is to eger to start playing. so you interupt the game trying to make your world 🥲

[languid knot]

cant this be done like by implementing some kind of block-ui feature for the user and then adding a loading which spins/moves, so that the user does not unintentionally crash their game 😄

[gilded sluice]

well... what if it don't unlock

I can't remember on the top of my head... why not. but there was some technical reason why 🤔

[trim spoke]

Is it known that you can multiply throwable objects with the catapult? once I throw for example 1 eitr on the ground I will find the entire stack I have on me!

[stark meadow]

It's already fixed on public beta version of the game, unfortunately accompanied by another bug.

[lapis grove]

I just played for a few hours and had no issue, I think its largely a main menu thing

[gilded sluice]

main menu don't have to many known issues tho 🤔

[lapis grove]

well heres a new one i guess

[gilded sluice]

did your dad fix your admin rights btw?

[lapis grove]

nah hes still sick

its more about just installing the drivers

[gilded sluice]

I'm not so sure

seen simular issues many times before

[lapis grove]

elaborate

[gilded sluice]

it's either lack of direct X full install. or drivers

and fun fact. the main menu is.. a mini version of the game

that entire "scene" is a world itself in the game

it's just that you cannot play in it

[lapis grove]

whats the seed

[gilded sluice]

you can't play it.

[sonic estuary]

It generates differently to a real world so even with the right seed it will look different

[lapis grove]

(shame) either way, what would you suggest I do? It seems like playing is fine, but the menu is where it crashes

[south lance]

Literally stated above...

[lapis grove]

I interpreted as like the minecraft menu seed, where its used as a backdrop but you cant take action in it

[south lance]

Even if you could, it would be a very, very old world

It's been like dozens of updates ever since, it would not be like what is shown

[gilded sluice]

the thing I told you before. do a clean install of your nivida drivers

[lapis grove]

Alright

[latent sparrow]

I've been unable to play Valheim past 15 minutes before it crashes with no error message. I see the Unity error for a sec before it disappears. With this said, I ended up doing a complete clean install of windows, all drives wiped. Did a clean installation of all drivers and updates for windows. Did a benchmark test of all devices to ensure they were working properly. Installed Directx11 in addition to 12. The only game I have installed so far is Valheim, so everything is clean.. Still can't get it to remain stable for longer than 15 min. The specs meet more than the minimum required.

I did follow the steps in troubleshooting. So far no luck.

[balmy garnet]

Hey guys, I'm Brazilian and I have a problem with the game, I just installed it and I can't enter my personal world, the game doesn't load, the message appears saying that it's not responding, does anyone know how to fix it?

[stark meadow]

Check this comment: #steam-bugs-discussion message

Next game version will be more intuitive when it comes to world loading.

[stark meadow]

What PC specs do you have?

[random iris]

I've noticed that the warriors in ashlands have like a strange glitch when attacking. Looks like it lags before hit or sometimes it moves for half a meter before striking it's realy vierd to time your defence on that. Anyone got simmilar issues?

[gilded sluice]

did you use the big installer for DirectX or the windows build in installer?

I believe they were reset correctly

Just trying to find a way to validate it's correct the past hour.

[gilded sluice]

@latent sparrow when did you crash last time?

the last playsession?

[latent sparrow]

Yesterday

[gilded sluice]

can I see your player and player-prev files? 🤔

[latent sparrow]

yes sir

Also, I've tested using Vulkan as well as just launching it without Vulkan.

@gilded sluice sorry that file is no longer available. I reinstalled Valheim and it wrote over it. Launching Valheim now to test again today. Do you have a preference how I launch to test? Vulkan or not?

[gilded sluice]

doesn't really matter

[latent sparrow]

okies

[gilded sluice]

a crash is a crash

and when you do crash

[latent sparrow]

gotcha ty

the only message I get is

[gilded sluice]

https://www.windowscentral.com/how-use-event-viewer-windows-10

go see in the event view, what also might have crashed along with unity.exe or valheim.exe

[latent sparrow]

I did take a look at that yesterday and it reflected nothing before, during or after

which is why i'm scratching my head, as I have no event ID that is specific to research.

[gilded sluice]

windows logs -> system

?

[latent sparrow]

just the generic ones, eventid 100, when it closes unexpectedly

[gilded sluice]

funky 🤔

[latent sparrow]

mhmm.. this is the first time i've been unable to solve an issue with game crashes lol

can't find the culprit.

[gilded sluice]

there can be almost anything

seen like infinite amount of issues the past 4 years 😄

[latent sparrow]

i agree lol. which makes this more tasking lol It took me a few weeks of dealing with this to finally come here lol.

[gilded sluice]

I've seen deer running in shallow water in high speed causing crashes

[latent sparrow]

lolol

[gilded sluice]

I've seen skeletons trying to pathfind inside rocks, causing crashes

[latent sparrow]

those make sense though.. to some degree.

[gilded sluice]

I've had 1 person not removing the plastic cover on his graphics card, hence he went from 25 C to 120 C in 0.4 second after launching

[latent sparrow]

rofl

I will say that my cpu tends to run fairly hot

[gilded sluice]

why tho?

but if it was to hot. it should tell you so in event viewer

[latent sparrow]

not sure why, the cpu fans are working. When I play Valheim.. i hear them working hard lol

[gilded sluice]

ye

[latent sparrow]

its not Valheim causing the issue though.. but I do hear them working.

[gilded sluice]

I use to run my i5-6500 for years

[latent sparrow]

yeah I want to upgrade, but I'm stingy about not paying these prices atm. Waiting to see the price cuts on CyberMonday or holidays soon.

[gilded sluice]

yea

I wouldn't recommend 13-14 gen intel

[latent sparrow]

i was just typing that

[gilded sluice]

and AMD 7000 series is okay but expensive. and... 9000 series AMD is... no ty

[latent sparrow]

i agree, been watching the issues going on

[gilded sluice]

I got a 7700X myself. love it but... it's to expensive

[latent sparrow]

not sure what to go with right unde 13 though.. seeing incompatibilities with gpus and cpus creeping up

btw, So far I have not crashed with Valheim and its been 7 min

[gilded sluice]

• C:/Users/ <username > /AppData/Local/Temp/IronGate/Valheim/Crashes

you got that folder btw?

[latent sparrow]

I do have the folder, but recall I have to create a new instance of the crash since I uninstalled it and reinstalled it earlier this morning.

another note, i have never run mods...

[gilded sluice]

oh I've had plenty of never had mods

but other games mods have interfeared in the past

mostly skyrim mod managers 😅

[latent sparrow]

lol

I have a clean drive though.. completely wiped all 3 drives.. and did a clean install of windows, drivers, etc.

[gilded sluice]

medal.tv, MSI afterburner are programs prone to crash valheim

[latent sparrow]

i don't run those

[gilded sluice]

how old is the CPU and harddrive?

[latent sparrow]

don't have them installed even. only game i have installed since the wipe is Valheim and GTA.

and the CPU and HDD is about 6 years old

[gilded sluice]

you know what brand it is on the HDD?

[stark meadow]

If you re-installed windows, there's so much that can cause crashes.
Most commonly it's the unstable BIOS tweaks.
From the thing that you can manage, you should look into this things first:

• improper BIOS tweaks (update and reset BIOS)
• windows installing wrong chipset drivers (disable Windows from installing drivers automatically and install chipset drivers from motherboard site manually) - check Section4 in the crash guide pinned in the comments
• check which MAX temps get reported via HWiNFO program
• check SSD health

[latent sparrow]

I didn't let Windows install the chipset drivers for sure. I did that separate when I was 'resetting" the Bios.

SSD health is fine, checked that when i was running benchmarks

Learned a bit on what causes SSD health to go down doing that lol

Smiffe you may be the good luck charm so far. This is the longest Valheim has been running without crashing in weeks lol

The fans are running though lol..

Ok valheime just crashed

[stark meadow]

Seems like your BIOS could use some updating: https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-b250f-gaming-model/helpdesk_bios/
Best to enter your BIOS and check which version is listed there as well.

[latent sparrow]

just one sec for file

@stark meadow ty

[stark meadow]

DM me crash.dmp file from C:/Users/sburk/AppData/Local/Temp/IronGate/Valheim/Crashes

And check which other files you have there as well besides it

[latent sparrow]

ok

[gilded sluice]

Hm.. 2 issues comes up when I look at sollitions

1 is bad power supply
2 is bad RAM memory stick

did you ever swap out any hardware?

[latent sparrow]

nope never did. And after updating the bios with the lastest I have been stuck in a BSOD loop lol

[gilded sluice]

why? 🤔

[latent sparrow]

no idea

every error that came up was different

[gilded sluice]

remove both RAM sticks and see if it will do anything

then put 1 in, and then the other in. then both again

[latent sparrow]

ok, I see now why people toss their pcs and get new ones lol.

Smiffe, have you shared your specs yet for anyone looking into getting a new pc?

[gilded sluice]

my current PC's spec?

[latent sparrow]

yeapes

[gilded sluice]

I wouldn't recommend it 😄

it's not cheapest best price

[latent sparrow]

lol

[gilded sluice]

depends on what you want, your needs, what games you play. it always "depends"

[latent sparrow]

so interesting.. When i pull up event viewer, I get "QueryError" popup.

[gilded sluice]

and then budged

[latent sparrow]

Welp, think I have to give up on this pc until I can afford a new one.

[gilded sluice]

Hm.. looks like a feature that breaks if you use SSD's discs in windows

[latent sparrow]

ty guys for helping.. looks like a new pc is in order

[gilded sluice]

depends on budget. you can always get a idea of a PC if you DM me or macarbre

depends on where you live and if you want to build it yourself or not 🤔

[marble wolf]

There's always GFN.

[gilded sluice]

won't help when something else is the problem mate

[marble wolf]

Eh, maybe.

[narrow moth]

sorry to border you but if i play valheim on xbox game pass on pc should i say my problem here or in the xbox channel?

[gilded sluice]

yup --> #xbox-bugs-discussion

[narrow moth]

okay ty

[gilded sluice]

for example, hardware issues don't resolves by GFN usage

[latent sparrow]

GFN = Good Fight Now?

jk

[gilded sluice]

*Good for now? 😉

[marble wolf]

I meant as an intermediary solution, but you're probably right.

[gilded sluice]

Geforce Now

[latent sparrow]

Smiffe, that partslist, is that part of what you have now?

[gilded sluice]

no

it was one I made for a mate. but it was outdated

damn. I can never remember to be "impartial" 😄

[latent sparrow]

rofl

[gilded sluice]

but I'd say. if you can afford it. a 7800X3D is the best gaming CPU you can buy

there are bundles and deals online

depending on your country etc

[latent sparrow]

U.S.

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D?

[gilded sluice]

but since we have 130,000 users here. we probably about the same amount of ideas on a descent PC 😄

[latent sparrow]

lolol

[gilded sluice]

I am the type of person who goes by the "pay once, cry one" type of deals

better to spend money, and then don't have to buy a new PC in 4-5 years

[latent sparrow]

you pay full price vs deals?

[gilded sluice]

whatever get me the best price what I want 😄

I build my own PC's

but.. some stores let you pick parts, and then they assamble it for a cost

[latent sparrow]

ah

I was building my own pcs, then iBuy... let me pick parts for this current pc and they built it

[gilded sluice]

^^

I would focus on what CPU, GPU and harddrive you want

for me. a descent one

[latent sparrow]

lasted me a few years.. this is the first time i've had issues

[gilded sluice]

sad to hear 😦

but your issue could be.
Broken RAM sticks
CPU issue
CPU cooling paste dried up or went rubbery and can't fix your heat when it goes high
Harddrive being problematic (3+ years varrenty for a reason)
GPU having issues
power supply being to weak over time (varrenty also low for a reason)

etc etc

[latent sparrow]

yaep

[gilded sluice]

and these are only a few common hardware issues

[latent sparrow]

wait.. did that get automodded?

[gilded sluice]

don't think so 🤔

[latent sparrow]

its in all red lol

[gilded sluice]

oh

then it's a discord text-send issue

if you can click "send again"

[latent sparrow]

well i said "blackfriday"

[gilded sluice]

blackfriday

[latent sparrow]

lol yea, i'm gonna be going through withdrawals for a while now lol.. until end of Nov when Black Friday and CyberMonday hit lol.

[gilded sluice]

you can always try to figure out what is the problem

memtest, hardware tests etc

[latent sparrow]

I did the memtest using Microsofts' mem test tool, said no issues.

[latent sparrow]

UserBenchmarks: Game 88%, Desk 86%, Work 76%

[gilded sluice]

RAM: G.SKILL F4 DDR4 2400 C15 4x8GB - 65.6% ?

[latent sparrow]

thats what the benchmark says

[crude geyser]

anyone know why my game doesnt let me load a world even with fresh character fresh world - both cloud saves enabled or disabled

[toxic river]

What exactly happens when you try to load or create a world?

[crude geyser]

I get: Loading... then the game has stopped responding

just tried on an old version and it seemed to load a new world however obviously have no saves....

[toxic river]

Right

When windows pops up with that the game has stopped responding, that's a result of the game working to either generate a new world or update an older one between versions

It can take a couple minutes of work during which any interaction with the game - clicking or alt-tabbing are often the trigger - will cause Windows to think it's frozen

I'd suggest you try again in the latest version of the game, and just let it load for a few minutes - don't alt-tab or click around too much. It should load eventually

[crude geyser]

oh okay lol ill let it load for a bit

thanks for the help

[crude geyser]

lmao worked first time thanks again

[toxic river]

There ya go~

[hearty blaze]

hello all, seeing if maybe there is any updated methods to fixing this problem...I have posted in here before a while ago (months now) and I have been trying to find a permanant solution to unity crashes as they seem to keep happening for me. I was told that turning v-sync off helps to alleviate the problem, which for a while it did. but now it is back to crashing quite frequently, and the worst part is when it does it, it puts me way back with old inventory that I had previously put in chests and whatever else. simply put, the crashes are really annoying as this is one of my favorite games I have played in a long while and it just breaks my spirit to try and play when I am constantly unable to have a long play session which I used to be able to on my older computer that had a GTX 970 (I now have a 4070). does anyone have any suggestions they can think of for this problem? any and all help would be appreciated. I would just like to be able to play the game without crashing every 10 minutes.

[stark meadow]

There's 99% chance that you are crashing because of your Intel Core i7 14700KF.
Depending on how long you have the CPU, it might be already permanently damaged and unstable.
I recommend watching this video in its entirety to get the know the problem better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVdmK1UGzGs
What you should do first, is update your BIOS on your motherboard, and after check if Intel default profile is set, and if not, you have to chose and set Intel default profile to be active. If you continue crashing after that RMA your CPU as fast as possible.

[gilded sluice]

probably what ^ MaCarBre said if you own a 13 / 14 gen Intel CPU.
Also, did you buy an entire new PC with new parts, or did you only swap out a few parts?

[hearty blaze]

Entirely new PC with new parts. Thank you both for the responses. I watched the video and am now concerned that maybe the computer has issues. It should still be under warranty. Valheim is the only game is seems to crash on consistently though which is odd. Also kinda scummy if intel knows about this and hasn’t done much of it

[gilded sluice]

you got a brand new intel 13 or 14 gen?

[hearty blaze]

https://www.microcenter.com/product/671237/powerspec-g446-gaming-pc

[gilded sluice]

yeah... 14th gen and it got the big problem 😦

[hearty blaze]

this is the exact PC I have. I went the prebuilt route this time. wishing I had built it like my first one

[stark meadow]

Intel has released a microcode patch mid August which you can get by updating your BIOS.
You should do so asap, as each crash has potential to permanently damage your CPU.
There's talk that you won't be able to RMA CPU directly from Intel if CPU came with pre-built system.
Only boxed ones can be shipped directly to Intel.
For the rest you have to contact the retailer.

[balmy garnet]

guys why i have to lag when i go to black forest
5fps

[gilded sluice]

what's your computer processor, RAM, graphics card?

[balmy garnet]

i play on xbox one s

Does anyone know if PlayFab is down? Have a linux dedicated server and it was working fine earlier with crossplay, but now it wont let me connect to any server stating Log into Playfab

[marble wolf]

Yep, we have about 50 messages about it now.

[sullen swan]

Gotcha. Just checked and it looks like Xbox Game Services are down. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status

For anyone else asking, If you are playing on Xbox or PC Gamepass dedicated servers will not work since cloud saves are synced to servers via Xbox Live services. The more you know...

[supple turtle]

what was that fix for the low poly waves when on intel xe/arc graphics

[stark meadow]

Try this first:
Disable global settings in Arc Control and set it to
Game Compatibility - Advanced
Adaptive Tessellation: ON (Quality at 100%)

[supple turtle]

will try

will it require a pc restart to take effect

[gilded sluice]

Hm.. should try the latest version my intel card..
which one do you have @supple turtle ?

[supple turtle]

using a asus zenbook duo whilst im away which runs on iris xe graphics

[gilded sluice]

oh.. um..

so it's the built in aGPU basicly?

*processor working as a graphics card

[supple turtle]

yes

suprisingly valheim runs perfectly on it

averaging 40fps

the only issue is the low poly waves

[stark meadow]

Have you tried the listed setting changes yet?

[supple turtle]

i have they seem to be working

[ocean hull]

yop, any of you having a bug at startup, where character is blocked in a looping sit in the middle of the Stone circle ? (it might be mod related though... I have to test)

[stark meadow]

mod related for sure, check #mods-issues

[ocean hull]

TY 🙂

[loud wasp]

https://streamable.com/w7dffk

i love the game

[stark meadow]

Seems like a feature I would like to have in my base to get to the upper floors. Can you reproduce it?

[supple turtle]

on second thought, they worked well to begin with but seem to have slipped back into their old ways

any further suggestions?

[stark meadow]

Try the full combo then:
Game Compatibility - Advanced
Frame Delivery - VSYNC ON
Post Processing - Sharpening On (12%)
3D Overrides - Anisotropic Filtering x16
Adaptive Tessellation: ON (Quality at 100%)

[supple turtle]

which retro scaling type?

[stark meadow]

Not sure, leave on default for now?

[supple turtle]

ok

[elfin sorrel]

my friend cant connect to my server, its only him, and he can connect to other servers. i finally "fixed" the issue by backing up the world and wiping the server. he was able to log on once until the server had a hiccup and froze everything, we all went back to the menu and the same problem started happeneing again

the friend who isnt having the issue says he thinks it was maybe some mod files that only he had on his client, so i guess we'll try again tomorrow

[gilded sluice]

mod files causes problems 100% of the time when we update the game

[elfin sorrel]

Part of me finds it unlikely that One players mods would cause issues for another player and not myself, but it could have something to do with the order we logged in

[gilded sluice]

depends on what the mod does and who is chunk owner

if the player with mods tells the non-modded player "there is a nuclear bomb here"
the non-modded players client will just don't know what to do with that information

[elfin sorrel]

I think it's possible that everytime it was the modded player who loaded in before the one with issues

Is chunk owner sort of similar to like a P2P system

Like even though it's a dedicated server some players get assigned tasks for their PC to compute for the server?

[gilded sluice]

yes. the first player into an area is defined as the chunk owner and all things happening in that area is calculated by that players hardware and that players client tells the other clients what happens in that chunk

so..

Lag and everything depends on who is owner

easiest way on PC to determain if you are owner or not. is to press F2. and see the data sent vs data recived. if you send more than recive, your owner

[elfin sorrel]

Thank you so much for the info. When we get home I'm going to do a fresh install the server and make sure the modded friend had a clean copy and post results

I'll also note that when the issues started again for the second time, we were fighting yagluth and he froze for all three of us, but me and the modded friend could still move and see each other moving while the connection issues friend was completely frozen

[gilded sluice]

tell your friend with mods to actual delete files in the folder. a mod-loader will still be active in the background

and then vaildate the game files

it might also be a problem with hand-over between 2 users causing the issue

there are multiple things can be problematic. like wifi / wireless internet connections are usual problems

[fleet summit]

Pretty sure there's some kind of issue that's not my connection.
Moved to the city recently so my internet's the best it's ever been
but on valheim I randomly get like 30 seconds of "connection issue" randomly every now and then
I know it's not my connection because I'm on a discord call the entire time and that shows no signs of any issues

I'm playing on a host server where the host is croatian
other guy playing is also croatian but I'm from a different place
not stupidly far away but
I doubt that's even the issue

[silk summit]

Hi! When quickly listening through the downloadable album from steam I noticed that the song files are scrambled, the audio file for the corresponding song title is wrong. If this is not where I should report this I would love to hear where I should put this. Thanks in advance!

[stark meadow]

Do you automatically reconnect back to the server after connection issue happens?
If you are all on Steam, just ask them to disable crossplay on the server to see how you do.
Generally, I would recommend for everyone to individually do the buffer bloat test to see which rating you all get:
https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat

[fleet summit]

yeah, I do reconnect. I don't even get kicked out, it kinda just freezes the world for like 30-45 seconds, and then snaps back to working

[fleet summit]

Also I just checked the bufferbloat test thing and it gave me an A
I'll have em try disabling crossplay next time we hop on though

[gilded sluice]

that feels like something is wrong, somewhere 🤔

[gilded sluice]

hi Elbon. please send a email to [e-mail] and ask.
we can't help you with that kind of issue here on discord sadly

[silk summit]

Thank you!

[south lance]

I mentioned that a very long time ago and got lost in the sands of chatting...

Is it worth sending another email?

[gilded sluice]

yes

[main flicker]

anyone finding things are duplicating? like shrooms in BF crypts and cores? had it happen with stones now also across 2 servers one with just a few mods and another with tons. not sure if its game update or mod bug. so far seen it with yellow shroom surt core and single rocks today

[fleet summit]

yeah, I'll try disabling that cross play thing and see if that does anything, but I have no clue what's going on

[gilded sluice]

if everyone is on steam client, disable crossplay. you don't really need it

[fleet summit]

yeye, I will

[gilded sluice]

or, someone might be using a VPN 🤔

hamachii perhaps

[fleet summit]

I don't think so
both of the other guys are from croatia

nah no one's using a vpn

But yeah hopefully disabling cross play helps

[gilded sluice]

and where in the world are you in?

[lofty plaza]

has fine wood always been able to stack onto eachother in such a way?

[gilded sluice]

no

have you updated your mods?

[lofty plaza]

Hey! firstly i want to apologize, i didn't read the description of this channel reguarding that this was a vanilla bug discussion thread, and to answer your question, no i havn't updated any mods as of yet.
Here are the mods i'm using incase any mod devs see this xd

[jagged hamlet]

You could take it over to #mods-issues or #mods-discussion for more in depth and specialized help.

[lofty plaza]

You're right, i sgould turn off the mods and see if i can stack them the same way! ty

[fleet summit]

Lithuania
so only like a few countries away

[lofty plaza]

No mods, cool new feature for decorating?

https://i.imgur.com/1vpJS7u.png

[gilded sluice]

yeah. in europe atleast 🤔

[fleet summit]

yup
no clue what it is then
but yeah I guess I'll just try turning off cross play next time we get on like I said

[gilded sluice]

you still having the folder can create problems tho. but lemme try

[lofty plaza]

im envisioning a fine wood staircase made out of stacks of wood!

[gilded sluice]

do they turn orange, red for you?

or infinite side-ways building?

[lofty plaza]

going up turns red

[stark meadow]

It has always been like that.

[gilded sluice]

yeah.... known issue. not ment to be working so..

[lofty plaza]

all good homie, looks like it might be a cool way to make staircases for builds. inlay them into some stone flooring or something. sorry!

[gilded sluice]

find a tiny tree to build around for extra secret support

[lofty plaza]

for sure! https://i.imgur.com/78NSvCp.jpg

[fickle hinge]

Whenever I spawn into the game, my FPS drops significantly to around 10, making the game almost unplayable. Someone already saw this?

[stark meadow]

Have you played with mods before?

[fickle hinge]

Tried, didnt work and then I reinstall the game. It occours only in a new map and new char. In old char it doesnt happen

[stark meadow]

Does your Valheim folder look like this now, or does it have some extra files in the installation folder?
https://i.imgur.com/vdpdeOA.jpg

[fickle hinge]

Yes

[stark meadow]

I would guess that your performance issues is probably related to the new windows updates for Ryzer processors

Check if there are any optional windows updates

[fickle hinge]

Ok, checking now

Got a update here, updating now

[stark meadow]

Any related to AMD, or chipset?

[fickle hinge]

AMD I guess, it is for x64 based processor and windows defender as well

or chipset, idk tbh

@stark meadow it worked

updated, created a new world, and everything is just fine.

Thx a lot

[long ruin]

Not game breaking, but figured I'd report: On release branch an ash storm persisted for about a full minute after portalling back to meadows. Can't think of having experienced this long of a weather transition before. Have BepInEx installed but this was vanilla playthrough. 3080, Ryzen9 5900x

^

[gilded sluice]

Could be that the game wanted to play the entire weather loop before changing enviroment over to medows 🤔

[quaint magnet]

is it a bug that my graphics card runs at over 85 degrees celsius with the fans at full power the entire time im playing this game? have a EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3

legitimately worried it will fry my card because that is not a healthy temp

[stark meadow]

On what resolution are you playing?

[quaint magnet]

1440p

[stark meadow]

It should be operating on lower voltages then. Not a game bug tho.
How much is your card being utilised in the main menu when the game freshly starts? And at what temp is it running?

Also check d3d11 (defualt) vs Vulkan

[quaint magnet]

well i can tell you already theres no difference between default and vulkan as i tried both and got the same results

on main menu, gpu seems to be running at about 1900 MHz at 75 celcius but the main menu isnt where i have temp problems

[stark meadow]

What's the utilisation in the main menu in %?

[quaint magnet]

where could i find that

[stark meadow]

GPU utilisation

How are you monitoring freq and temps?

[quaint magnet]

MSI afterburner

[stark meadow]

GPU usage is called there

[quaint magnet]

its at around 85%

after running for a while just on main menu my gpu temp is around 80 C

[stark meadow]

Try to now enable V-sync in the main menu. That should uncap the FPS limit to your monitor refresh rate.
It's capped at 60FPS right now in the menu.

[quaint magnet]

vsync is on lol

[stark meadow]

You mean, it was on?

[quaint magnet]

yeah

[stark meadow]

Generally you shouldn't have it on, as it in-game FPS limiter will not work then, so menus won't be capped at 60.

How are temps in main menu when you disable V-sync? Check if FPS in main menu then locks to 60

[quaint magnet]

yeah it locks to 60

ok now im sitting a 50% util and 71 C

ok so the issue is that i cant have the game at over 60fps or it freaks out?

[stark meadow]

If FPS in uncapped, Valheim will try to bring the most of the GPU, so temps and utilisation will raise. Seems like your GPU might have a problem operating at too high voltage, which can on high GPU usage raise temps.
You can mitigate this by employing FPS limit or decreasing some settings, so GPU won't be used as much.
Generally first variants of 3000 series were a bit overtuned, so generally most benefit from undervolting, which can usually result in more performance even at lower temps. I wonder how would your GPU temps look like at 100% GPU usage. Try to run some free benchmarks. If cards gets too hot, I would personally undervolt it, but 85°C is ok temp.

[quaint magnet]

well it wasnt uncapped i had the fps limiter set to 144 which is my monitor hz. Also as for the voltage/temp why would this issue only present itself for valheim when i can run any other game fine most of them being more demanding than valheim?

leads me to believe its a problem with the game and not my hardware

[stark meadow]

If other games are not using your GPU more in terms of GPU usage, they are not more demanding.
Different GPU tasks can heat up different parts of GPU as well.

[quaint magnet]

so cyberpunk 2077 running on high settings isnt more demanding? this just seems like valheim isnt optimised for systems to run at over 60 fps

[stark meadow]

It depends on how much is your GPU getting utilised when running cyber punk. Test it. Test a benchmark.
I recommend Furmark for testing temps. For example, by 1070 which is much weaker cards than yours, at 100% GPU usage doesn't get higher than 75°C.

If you card can't keep reasonable temps at 100% GPU utilisation, it's running at too high voltage or has problems with cooling.

[quaint magnet]

well cyberpunk has a built in benchmark so ill test that

ok ran that and it had 100% util and never got hotter than 76 C with an avg fps of 95. i also have a 144 fps cap on cyberpunk. again this seems like a problem only valheim has

[stark meadow]

I'm unfamiliar with how Cyber punk benchmark tests for temps. Can only vouch for Furmark, it's free.

Different GPU tasks hit GPU differently. I don't have any issues on my 1070 in Valhiem so how can it be Valheim problem?
My laptop with 3060 runs at 85°C MAX, a laptop.

[quaint magnet]

cyberpunk benchmark only does fps. but i had msi afterburner running furing the benchmark

[stark meadow]

I don't mean how Cyberpunk monitors temps, rather does it stress different GPU components.

[quaint magnet]

its most likely a graphics driver problem for valheim its a combination of nvidia and valheims fault as they should work in tandem to fix the issue

different graphics cards run different drivers so if a newer card is running worse than an older one, it is most definately a driver issue

[marble wolf]

Not sure how an indie developer is supposed to magically fix the driver issues for the largest company in the world.

[quaint magnet]

i never said they have to fix the issue but if the issue is happening specifically for their game is most definitely is their fiduciary responsibility to let the graphics company know about it

[gilded sluice]

85C isn't really a problem tho

but you should perhaps look into your overall placement of your PC so it can get enough air in and able to push away the warm air from the computer

[quaint magnet]

respectively disagree. also i said they ran hotter than 85 C, not that 85 was the hottest it got

it got to about 89 before i decided to quit the game

[gilded sluice]

which card do you have?

[quaint magnet]

and my pc is on top of my desk, has a breathable case, and the room temp is 70 F

[gilded sluice]

but usually. the card knows when it's time to panic and slow down

[quaint magnet]

EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3

[gilded sluice]

ah good good

and it runs at 89C or 89F

[quaint magnet]

89C

[gilded sluice]

how many case fans do you got?

and what is behind your PC?

[quaint magnet]

3 and its about 2 ft from the wall

nothing but case wires in between

[gilded sluice]

is it a enclosed behind or just open space?

[quaint magnet]

open space

[gilded sluice]

Hm.. doesn't sound like you should have much problems at all 🤔

when did you remove dust last time?

I personally bought a stupid case for the looks, so I have my front fans actually shreadding dust into fine powder into my PC. so I usually remove dust every 2-3 weeks 🥲

[quaint magnet]

i dust about every year and it never has very much dust

[stark meadow]

You can check temps of the rest of the community that also have 3080 here: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=3080+valheim&sp=CAI%253D
I struggle to find anyone with your temps.

This person has the highest temps I found, at it's only 85°C on the VRAM, and the core temp which MSI afterburner shows is low 65°C
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb_n25LDuv0

[gilded sluice]

I never had mine running hot either before I swapped out my Asus TUF 3080 🤔

it should be on par with the EVGA 3080

[quaint magnet]

[gilded sluice]

that was back in the days when those 3090 cards burned on... um... that game

from

[stark meadow]

Many 3000 series cards had problems then

[gilded sluice]

using cheap cooling sollutions on Vram was a problem for 3090

trying to remember the manufacturer who had the big problems

Gigabyte I think it was

[stark meadow]

I would say most early variations of 3000 by manufacturers had problems

I mean I know some people that didn't even have thermal pads over VRAM, just by mistake

its hard to believe that this is an issue with my card when valheim is the only game i have issues with. i dont see how the problem could be anything other than a driver issue or a game bug

also both of those cards are not my cards

[gilded sluice]

The thing with Valheim is that it will use whatever hardware it can

[quaint magnet]

i have 3080 ftw3 not 3080ti

[gilded sluice]

but Valheim have shifted from using alot of your GPU, to alot on your CPU + RAM

[stark meadow]

It's hard to believe it's Valheim problem, when I can't find dozens of people on youtube without problematic temps.
Different games affect different GPU components differently.
Let me know how the furmark test goes if you ever do it.

[gilded sluice]

I know, but the tool might help you 🤔

[quaint magnet]

ill download it

[gilded sluice]

many times, your fancurve is set lower than you might want it since manufacturer wants the fan noice to be as low as possible

[stark meadow]

This is the main source: https://geeks3d.com/furmark/

[quaint magnet]

i have a pretty aggressive fan curve lol

[stark meadow]

It's best that you use the same monitoring tool, so if you used MSI afterburned use that.

I would personally recommend HWiNFO tool in general.
Captures the most amount of sensors, and you can see VRAM temp vs Core temp there as well.
In Furmark you can also perform VRAM specific temps to see if there is different in temps

[quaint magnet]

look respectively this feels like im being gaslit into thinking i have a hardware problem when from my perspective i feel i don't. maybe im looking at it all wrong or havent communicated properly but i feel as if it isnt a problem with my setup. i am however glad that through trial and error with the fps limit setting ive found a way to play the game where it wont degrade my pc so thanks for that even though it isnt my preferred fps. im kinda done with the jumping through hoops though so im finished explaining my problem

[stark meadow]

Nobody is gaslighting you that you don't have a problem. If anything you are gaslighting us that the game has a problem, based on your expeirence, while most players out there don't.

I'm just trying to help you figure out what's going on. I've even had cases when MSI afterburner was showcasing wrong temps in the past.

[gilded sluice]

we mearly want to try to figure out what you have, and might cause the problem 🤔

[stark meadow]

If we do figure out where the problem is, game or card, we can help many more players.

[gilded sluice]

both me and MaCarBre are tech nerds

and both love to help people

so we aren't trying to gaslit / shame you

[quaint magnet]

i wasnt specifically accusing you so dont take it personally its just how i feel. like i said i could be looking at it wrong or communicating poorly. what even more can i do to figure out what the problem is?

[gilded sluice]

neither me or MaCarBre are native english speaking people either. so sometimes our way to expressing ourselves might come out as very direct 😄

we just want to figure what, if there is a problem. or if it's just a case of "yeah. it runs warm"

[quaint magnet]

well i just sent the picture of the furmark test and its unlikely both furmark and afterburner are wrong on temps

[stark meadow]

What you can't test by doing this is what furmark picked up sensor measures in playing Valheim.
MSI afterburner could be reading a wrong sensor, so you should use the same app for both, and in your case, the only app is MSI afterburner.

If furmark is good even with afterburner and VRAM test, then it's unlikely that you have a GPU issue on a hardware level.

[quaint magnet]

so i should run afterburner on furmark?

[stark meadow]

It should display the same OSD with GPU usage and temps.

Then you need to check if MSI afterburner is faulty for specifically Valheim.
If another app, like HWiNFO shows high temps for Valheim, then you are sure it's not the sensor reading problem.
Then we can look at drivers and Valheim driver settings specifically.

For VRAM test in furmark, use

Just run the test instead of doing benchmark button.

It mighte be a good idea to monitor what is happening with your TDP when running Valheim/Cyberpunk/Furmark (power usage)

[quaint magnet]

am i supposed to choose the test congruent to how much vram my card has total?

[stark meadow]

Just do 4GB, Valheim doens't use more than that

[quaint magnet]

ok for furmark its 100% tdp around 380 W and it doesnt get higher than 78 C

[stark meadow]

That's temp reported by MSI right?

[quaint magnet]

yeah

[gilded sluice]

do you have any heat measurement in the windows activity manager ?

it may not be the best way to see heat. but it's something 🤔

[quaint magnet]

yeah

[gilded sluice]

how fast does your temps rise when you have valheim running?

it it quickly up to high temps?

[quaint magnet]

when i load into the world it jumps to about 80 C pretty quickly and then gradually gets hotter

[gilded sluice]

if you limit the FPS to 80?

tho it might just run like mad anyhow if you are in a place with 15-20k instances anyways 🤔

[stark meadow]

I would recommend now testing Valheim temps via HWiNFO tool, since you have Rivatuner already, which both MSI afterburner and HWiNFO tool use to show temps. MSI afterburner should be closed.

[stark meadow]

This amount of instances will only cool down the GPU.

[quaint magnet]

no this is with fps limit of 144 to match my monitor

[gilded sluice]

I got that feeling it... should cool it down.

[quaint magnet]

what do i choose?

[stark meadow]

You can download portable version as well, local US.

Rivatuner has to be running, MSI afterburner closed, you can enable which setting to have displayed here.
Chose so that label is displayed, show value in OSD, and choose a line position for each thing you add.

GPU power, and temps, fans, is what we need for now.

[quaint magnet]

right when i jump in it says 83 C 375 W

for fans do i track rpm or %

[stark meadow]

% is fine I think

[quaint magnet]

74% for both

is that my problem or should they not go to 100%?

[stark meadow]

MSI afterburner isn't running now, so a different fan curve might be used

[quaint magnet]

oh true

[stark meadow]

Rivatuner should be able to display both OSD from both apps, so you can try to turn of MSI afterburner now so it can take charge of the fan curve

I will DM you regarding what Valheim settings we might wanna tweak to see what causes this temps. (so that we don't spam the channel anymore).
Maybe best that you send me your world and character saves first.

[quaint magnet]

ok

may just bee cooking up a tutorial hint for ya 🫣

[desert spruce]

hey guys, just noticed that dverger lose health when in ashland water but they don't seem phased at all so they just keep swimming despite dying, which seems like a bug? not sure if it's been reported before or where best to post this

[tidal hazel]

Skeleton knocked into stone, he can still shoot me inside of it too lol

[dawn epoch]

Hey, not sure if someone can help me out here but all help is appreciated. After i had a issue with my keyboard i ctrl alt delete the game and after that i got some issues loading my character progress. If i choose "cloud" the progress is not saved. If i move from A to B, it just starts from A again after i reload the server. I changed it back to local and i don't have any issues. I have tried resync, verify game files steam, choose some of those backup files..

[gilded sluice]

cool. how the hell did you manage to get him in there?

[tidal hazel]

I just hit him into the stone lol. I think he was entering in his shooting animation so that might be why, but he just kept shooting me (through the stone) and I couldn't attack him back. I ran away, not sure if he chased after me and escaped the stone

[gilded sluice]

yeah... it's an old issue

basicly what happens is that monsters inside walls or things will be able to shoot out because how shooting works

it's like one of those 1 in 10000000000 things nowdays

[tidal hazel]

"It's not an issue, it's a feature" - mojang

[gilded sluice]

spiderjockey moment

monsters cannot spawn inside things anymore

[tidal hazel]

yeah, I think its goofy. Why does this happen? Does only the outside have physical properties to stop projectiles?

[gilded sluice]

probably

we solved a few issues back in the days so stopping monsters spawning inside objects

so we never really had to fix the other thing, because it would just end up breaking a infinite amount of things

[tidal hazel]

That would make sense lol. Sometimes coding do be like that.

[gilded sluice]

and fixing that 1 in a trillion chance? 🤔

by breaking trillion things 🤔

[tidal hazel]

If it's as rare as you say, then its probably not something to actually spend time fixing really. I've only played about 100 hours so I didn't know if it was rare or not

[tidal hazel]

Exactly

[sonic estuary]

I’ve only seen one enemy inside an object. It was also a skeleton archer and killed a 1-star troll for me

[tidal hazel]

feature

[stark meadow]

Check your character backups in the manage saves menu and delete every save that end with:
fch.new
fch.stmp
fch.new.stmp

[dawn epoch]

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try this when I got back in the game 😊

[tidal hazel]

weird tree texture becoming green

[sonic estuary]

That’s because the silver is sheltering it from the snow, look at the ground below

[tidal hazel]

ooooh

that makes sense

[indigo ruin]

have someone trying to enter a server but he says game says OldVersion, he did a reinstall and still same thing., Any tips on how to get this up to date

[marble wolf]

Is the server old or the client? Which versions are they?

[indigo ruin]

not sure but he has seemed to fix it

[stark meadow]

That's normal. If you put cover above objects, the snow shader will disappear under the cover.

[gilded sluice]

someone might be on public test or something 🤔

or mods 😄

[rich crane]

Hi i could need some help or advice, i started a new world to play the update with friends but i have issues with my pc cause when im in Valheim for some reason my Pc just randomly shuts down and reboots again, and it only happends when i play Valheim any other game is fine so i wanted to ask if anyone has made the same expierience.

[narrow egret]

Sup, need an explanation or smthng, quite new to this bug when mid-game there is a all sounds cut permanently until death/rejoin, can't quite put my finger around it, anybody else encountered such bug? Bug occurs randomly, has no obvious precursor to it and just cuts all audio except music and weather effects.

[stark meadow]

What PC specs do you have?

[stark meadow]

Sounds like a mod problem. Using any?

[narrow egret]

I do infact

[stark meadow]

Try to check in #mods-issues if anybody happens to know a mod that might cause this.

[narrow egret]

Hm.

alright...

[strong garden]

Hi, we do have this issues your mentioning, found your text/comment via search-function. We are playing on a dedicated server and since linke 3-4 months we have severe issues with slow loading base, chests not opening, not being able to pick up stuff, somehow wrong contents in chests - linke copies stuff from other boxes... do you know anything about this problems? worked fine before but gets worse and worse...

[stark meadow]

Can you DM me your world files .db and .fwl?

[strong garden]

Sure!

[rigid patrol]

Hey guys, I’m having an issue with Valheim crippling my internet. I’m the host and I do a speed check before opening the game and it goes from 80mbps to 0.4mbps once the game is open. As soon as I close the game, the internet is fast again. I’ve seen people complaining online and some people have resolved it by changing the steam server ping setting, but this didn’t work for me. I’ve also read that some people just don’t play anymore cos they couldn’t fix it 😦

[stark meadow]

Playing on lenovo laptop?

[rigid patrol]

No, desktop PC

[willow tiger]

Magic shield doens't regen it's own hp after recast/renew/refresh it

[stark meadow]

Do you have network optimisation tools running?

[rigid patrol]

Not that I can find. I’ve checked and can’t find anything

[stark meadow]

That's intended behaviour.

[stark meadow]

Try opening task manager, go to the performance tab, there open resource monitor either at bottom blue link (w10) or click three dots to open it on (w11). In resource monitor, go to the network activity and check which processes use the network while Valheim is running, screenshot those.

[willow tiger]

So when you recast your shield it's refresh shield time but don't refresh shield hp, do you think it;s normal?

this is a reason why you die a lot of time while play for a mage

i think it's just a bug that must be fixed

[stark meadow]

Yes, that's intended behaviour. Shield would be over powered otherwise. It already is if you ask me.

Mage is the most powerfull build in Valheim, if you learn how to play it.

[willow tiger]

Overpowered ? where?

[willow tiger]

say to archer 100lvl with lighting bow

mage is very weak to armor and stamina, magic skills is hard to lvl up especially blood magic

and that thing with the shield is not overpowered

it's a bug and a reason why people die a lot because of the crunky shield doesn't update despite they spend they eitr and recast

[stark meadow]

The corsair software looks it might be doing some optimisations when playing.

Try do disable it and then restart your PC. Best to open start → type msconfig → open services → hide Microsoft services → find corsair services and disable them, restart the PC. If it doesn't help, enabled them back again and restart PC.

[rigid patrol]

It did not work unfortunately

[stark meadow]

You can see how mage can be powerful when you learn to play it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSKCIYzTEvc
Check how low skills are, no boss powers, no potions, didn't even use the shield nor other staves.
Mage is the most common build people clear Ashlands with. It's dubbed as easy mode, and it doesn't need more buffs. Some staves in fact need nerfs. It can't be balanced based on one staff alone, because the player can use all staves in synergy.
Mage doesn't need a lot of stamina, because it's not spending stamina while attacking.
The only build that can run backwards and attack and cast shield at the same time while keeping the momentum, makes it the easiest build to survive with and to pull that off you don't need high skills.
Shield always protects you from any attack even when it has 1 HP (e.g. except troll meteor), which makes it better than any light build. Shield is easy to recast even in the middle of combat if you know how to move.

[stark meadow]

Can you do the trace route test to check if you are behind some NAT or CGNAT. You can go to start → type "cmd" → open command prompt → type "tracert 8.8.8.8" and hit enter. You will start pinging google server. First IP hop will be your router IP address, so you can ignore it. What you should be focusing on it checking if other IP addresse from 2nd forward start with numbers 192., 172., 10., (behind NAT) or with 100.* (behind CGNAT).
