[marble wolf]

You'll need the tester role.

[hidden mural]

Ah, Well once I have it, I happened to be streaming so I can clip and show video of said bug

[gilded sluice]

known exploit. and just like Derek said. keep it in the PTB channel not to confuse and spoil other players 🙂

[raw field]

In the PTB Valheim now always switch to first audio device and ignore default audio device. So at each startup I must switch output.
It is on Linux.

#valheim-public-test

[wooden spindle]

Hey all. I've had a REALLY strange bug. Last night I built a dock and added some stuff to the main build. I had a desync issue so logged out for the night. This morning it was reset to how it was when I first got there. This evening after the frustration had passed I built it all again making sure to hit SAVE in the menu. As a server admin this is apparently worth it. Now for the weird bit. When I logged back in after dinner the dock was gone again but the house was still as I left it.

The server is in the US and I'm across the pond in Ireland. Is this some sort of witchcraft?

[stark meadow]

Doesn't look like a vanilla issue. Check #mods-issues

I hope you are not playing on bog witch update with mods

[wooden spindle]

No. I'm very happy to wait for that to release properly. I'm running mostly vanilla but the mods should all be fine. Never had an issue like this before with the same mods.

[marble wolf]

You never know what will break a mod.

[gilded sluice]

could been issue when steam-cloud went down for maintnance? 🤔

[stark meadow]

As I understood it, one part of the base saves normally and one doesn't, never encountered that in vanilla.

[hearty oxide]

Haven't played for at least a year now. It has been installed on Steam but now it won't launch. I've uninstalled and reinstalled via Steam and same problem. Any ideas, folks?

[hearty oxide]

launches from my Rog Ally but not my PC 😦

[gilded sluice]

The usual suspect are old mod files longering in Valheim install folder

[wanton sable]

I don't know if this is the right place to bug report, but I can't choose a keybind for "Hide/show weapon". If I click to change it, then "Press a key" prompt closes immediately.

[stark meadow]

It's a known issue. But you should not be reporting PTB bugs here. Enable appropriate flags at id:customize and access PTB channel at #valheim-public-test.

[ancient hull]

Why does this happen?

Floor tiles disappear

[stark meadow]

Playing with mods? What tiles? You also had marble blocks on those spots where horizontal iron cage is shown?

[ancient hull]

Yeah, all those horizontal cages showing had black marble floor tiles

No mods active

[stark meadow]

Do you have extra files in your installation folder other than these?
https://i.imgur.com/vdpdeOA.jpg

[ancient hull]

yes

[stark meadow]

They you still have mods installed. Either check player reports in #mods-issues or test proper vanilla game by cleaning out the installation folder.
You should be aware that mods can cause permanent consequences on save files even after you completely remove them.

The tile dissapearing issue might be also a vanilla one, but nobody has reported anything similar yet.

[ancient hull]

It sounds like tiles are collapsing like they would if they're not supported. That crushing sound comes

I'll try to run vanilla. I'm just messing around and testing stuff, so it's no big deal

[stark meadow]

How big is your base in terms of instance count? (press F2 menu to see when inside the base)

[ancient hull]

15220

It's 4 huge floors of black marble

haven't decorated or put in furniture or anything yet

just the bars and black marble

Also, hares and a dvergr mage suddenly spawned inside the base

it's impossible to get in without using the front door

[tropic torrent]

sounds like there's a hole in your base structure coverage. You probably need to put down some additional workbenches or something.

[gilded sluice]

or the base it so big, it's not fully loaded in

[short charm]

1 and 2 star necks, and boars refuse to spawn near starting area once eithkyr has been defeated, additionally a lot of black forest enemies spawn naturally in meadows now that the elder has been defeated even if there is no black forest nearby

[glass crypt]

Perhaps even a gap somewhere in the roof where the roof did not clip to the appropriate piece🤷‍♀️

[tulip temple]

I have roof over the whole thing, except a small hole in the middle, but even bits that are directly under roofs are getting weathered

[toxic river]

Issues related to PTB should be reported in #valheim-public-test. If you can't see this channel, tick 'I want to be a public tester' in the Channels & Roles tab at the top of the channel list.

[tulip temple]

ah, thank you, I will report this there.

[unique dock]

When I log in into a friend’s game, I’m automatically DC and the world is empty. Any solution ?

[stark meadow]

If you are both on Steam, disable crossplay before starting the server.

[unique dock]

Dumb steam team 😂 ! Thx

[stark meadow]

PTB issues only to PTB channels. It's not a issue on LIVE.

[craggy pewter]

Vineberries. Mine still haven't grown berries in months. Is this a known ongoing issue? PTB or live, it doesn't matter. No berries.

[stark meadow]

It's a known issue. They will despawn at logout, so if you don't logout, they should spawn after 1.5 days.

[storm comet]

Anyone been having visual issues with stone/ore? Every time I break a piece, it takes a few seconds for it to actually render, but will still enter my inventory if I am near it before it fully renders in.

[stark meadow]

Yeah, known issue

[storm comet]

Okay, jms that it wasn't just me.

[gilded sluice]

could also be VPN being the culprit

[craggy pewter]

Thank you for clarifying. I would like to say mine don't spawn, no matter how many game days I'm on for. They just stopped when the PTB for Ashlands went live and never came back. I get all my tasty vineberries from the wild, these days. Maybe that's why those soldiers are so mad at me all the time LOL!

[stark meadow]

Maybe you just have vineberries pre some PTB patch. Have you tried replantin some?

[craggy pewter]

You know, that's a good idea. I think I replanted some of them, but I can't be sure. I'll try that.

[stark meadow]

I would recommend reading patch notes.
Also, you should not be reporting PTB bugs here. Enable appropriate flags at id:customize and access PTB channel at #valheim-public-test
This channel is reserved for bugs found on LIVE version.

[near barn]

Oh sorry'

[craggy pewter]

Ooohoo! Replanting the vines worked! I just got my first berries in A G E S !

[limpid oasis]

I have a question. I started to find those lines on my plains already discovered and explored, and my World seed was created after Ashlands's update. Is that normal?

[stark meadow]

Not normal, but a known issue that started sich ashlands patch.

[limpid oasis]

Good to know. Thank you!

I thought it only happened on seeds created before Ashlands

[gilded sluice]

they happen and when the eventual fix comes, you won't have to do anything thankfully. it will just fix itself 😄

[sick orbit]

Hi everyone, It's not a bug but I got some randoms fps drops at my spawn but when I'm exploring or in a dungeon I go full fps. I think it's because of the number of Instances but those drops are like random sometime it's bugging sometime it's not. Any tips ?

[stark meadow]

How many instances do you have in your base when in the middle of it? (press f2 menu to check instance count)
Which PC specs do you have?

[sick orbit]

Im not at home so I can't check rn but in my memories it was a looooot

My specs :

Intel Core i9-10850K 32 Go (2 x 16 Go)
RTX 3060 Ti

The problem is

My computer is better than my friends one, but I'm the only one with those pbs

[dapper bronze]

queen buff gives 100% eitir regen?

[limpid oasis]

Thank you!

[paper raven]

I'm not certain if this is really a bug, but I may as well ask. I've been on the new beta patch and I spent several hours yesterday and today sailing around trying to find the bog witch without any luck, even though I combed through a dozen large and small swamps and covered a lot of ground on the map. Is she just a lot harder to find than the other venders?

[keen violet]

i was able to find her after 2 hours of sailing last night on an old world save

has to be from undiscovered swamps, and they have 10 possible locations to spawn from

[marble wolf]

#valheim-public-test

This is not the place for discussing the PTB.

[paper raven]

ah, ok

thank you

[sick orbit]

My PC just crashed and my computer loaded cloud save from yesterday

I was in Mistlands with stuff and now when i'm reconnecting I'm in my base without any stuff from today

Is there any way to recover a more recent save ? Or the crash made it deseaper ? 🤡

[stark meadow]

At most you can lose 2h of gameplay due to a crash

It's usually less, due to the game saving at least every 30min (if you know how to use .old save backups)

If you are unaware of them, you already overwrote them so they are unusable.

You can access manage saves button in the starting menu, expand backup list for your world and character and look for the top most auto-backup, which should be your latest usable save.

You should however be aware that crashes can also corrupt saving process. Check the last paragraph in Section1:point5 of this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/uq9b8x/my_valheim_is_crashing_fix_for_crash_guide/

You should also make use of the guide to fix your crash problem. Generally, Valheim is very stable game on generally stable systems.

[marble wolf]

This is a known bug on the PTB, which you should be reporting in the correct channels.

[stiff meteor]

Got it. Appreciate it.

[whole trellis]

Uhm Help please lol
https://medal.tv/games/valheim/clips/iVL1nznnvh9a1rjxD?invite=cr-MSxRVFYsMjE5Mjk1Mjc0LA

oh nevermind i just relogged but still

Ok wait it happened again

[stark meadow]

Caused by mods that make item float. Check with #mods-issues Not a problem to be reported here.

[whole trellis]

ah ok forgot about my mods thanks

[barren linden]

hello! I've purchased valheim but I have not been able to create a character. It just doesn't let me click on next. I've tried everything (reinstalled, restarted, checked the integrity) but it still doesn't work, can anyone help me please, I would love to actually play the game

[gilded sluice]

so what happens?

do you launch through steam client or desktop?

[barren linden]

steam client

and nothing happens, I just can't make a character so I can't play the game

my cloud save is already off

[gilded sluice]

🤔

do you have space on C: ?

[stark meadow]

You will probably have to re-install your entire Steam application. This problem is common when one updates or reinstlaled windows and think they can just launch previous Steam installation that was on another drive. You also have to reinstall Steam.

[loud plover]

Hi guys any1 knows if Valheim is getting a discount for holidays/black friday?
Wanna buy it for a friend.

[barren linden]

alright I'll try it oit

[barren linden]

any reason I experience the same issue on my steamdeck?

[stark meadow]

Hm... are you using enough letters for your character's name? Have you tried a different name?
Are you using any non-standard character while naming it?

[barren linden]

thank you that fixed it, I'm dumb

[marble wolf]

I sincerely hope that's a bad translation.

[gilded sluice]

probably 🤔

we tend to join in on most steam sales

[loud plover]

Thank you 👍

[versed token]

hi, i've been stuck on the please wait screen on the manage saves screen for ever. ive tried everything, and didnt find anything helpful online. can anyone help?

[stark meadow]

Can you got to start → type this PC → check if any of your drivers are in the red when it comes to disk space

Also, if you open task manager (ctrl+shift+esc), and under performance tab, check how much % is your disk being used atm?

[versed token]

disk space is good

everything is supposed to be good? right?

[stark meadow]

Seems ok, yeah.

Did you try just killing the game process and trying again?

[versed token]

yes.

[versed token]

i believe it has something to do with steam its self, im not too sure. i have no issue saving my world and loading back in, i just cant check my saves.

[stark meadow]

Can you grab one player.log file after you get stuck there?
Should be located at: %username%\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim

It would also be a good idea to see how your files look like with extensions showing

[bright coral]

It's 50% off today until the 27th in a few territories on Steam. I recommend checking. At least for USA, it's at the same low we see in holiday sales. Sorry to continue the off-topic convo here.

[sick orbit]

little update : I relaunch my pc and Steam told "Your save is still unloaded on the cloud" and my PC had a local save, so I could restore it nicely

so everything is fine, thx for your help anyway @stark meadow

[balmy garnet]

Hello! Wondering if anyone else has had this problem since Ashlands patch, but gotten worse since bog witch patch: both me and my friend (I'm on windows, she's on mac) have experienced the same bug where we can't use E on anything. Affects both.opening chests, picking items up and opening doors. The only solution right now is to quit the game and restart which is annoying. Switching out the keybinding doesn't solve it either. Has anyone else experienced this and maybe solved it?

Thanks

[jagged hamlet]

You are on the ptb I assume since you mentioned the bog witch patch, there are some problems with keybindings that should be solved eventually.
A better place to post such things would be #valheim-public-test

[gilded sluice]

I need more information 🤔

[balmy garnet]

Wonderful!

[gilded sluice]

do either of you play PTB?

do you use mods?

[balmy garnet]

No mods, yes we play PTB

[gilded sluice]

PTB issues needs to be talked about in the correct channel --> #valheim-public-test

else it will confuse non-PTB players 😄

[balmy garnet]

Cool! I'll move it there 😄 i just joined this discord so I appreciate the guidance

[pale fox]

To Davey Jones' locker with you!

[short charm]

1 and 2 star necks, and boars refuse to spawn near starting area once eithkyr has been defeated, additionally a lot of black forest enemies spawn naturally in meadows now that the elder has been defeated even if there is no black forest nearby are these bugs or normal? (I have no mods)

[marble wolf]

Starred boars only spawn from 800m from the centre. And yes, typically when a boss is killed that biomes mobs are available earlier. No bugs.

[gilded sluice]

they never will 🤔

it's a rule we have so newbies won't run into a big-bad 1-2 star enemy who rip the head of them

[barren sorrel]

my friend is getting an incompatible version error whenever he tries to join me and we dont know why

we have a tiny number of mods on and they are exactly the same

[bright coral]

If you're sure your mod versions match, there's a good chance one of you either hasn't allowed an update from your game retailer to finish or one of you is running on the Public Test Branch (PTB).

Check to make sure your and his main menu in the game shows 0.218.21 in the bottom right corner. If they are the same, mods are a likely culprit. The Player.log could yield useful information for troubleshooting further.

[gilded sluice]

it's either mods or some of you are on the PTB and some are not

[last ermine]

Is there any way to get someone who can get on a call with me and my GF to help us figure out why we cannot connect to each other's games?
As soon as bog witch patch came out, we stopped being able to play together. Just enter into black screens if modded, and when we try to go in vanilla we just can't connect or load into the world but there's no grass, land features, buildings, each other, anything.

[marble wolf]

Mods definitely won't work with the PTB (and you shouldn't really be testing with mods anyway). Otherwise, make sure your mods are actually disabled and that you (and the server) are all on the same version of the game.

[last ermine]

We're not trying to play the beta, we're trying to play as we've been for the past few months, I just noticed when the patch came out, that's when we stopped being able to play together for some reason.

[marble wolf]

Hang on, are you running the PTB or not?

[last ermine]

Not

Wait what is PTB

[marble wolf]

Why even mention it then? A patch you're not using isn't going to affect your game.

[last ermine]

Because I don't know if it is impacting things somehow

[marble wolf]

Unless you install it, there's literally nothing it can do.

[last ermine]

Any ideas then on why we suddenly can't play together? Only separately?

[marble wolf]

Back to my previous comment, make sure you're all on the same version of all of your mods (if you're using them), make sure the game versions are the same (including the server, if using dedicated) and turn off any VPNs and connect via cable if possible.

[last ermine]

We've done all those things.

I've uninstalled the game, but I understand that sometimes we need to delete something else? That doesn't automatically uninstall?

[marble wolf]

Yeah, mods arent automatically deleted when you uninstall so it's best to delete the entire game folder.

[last ermine]

How do you find that on your PC? (My game files go through One Drive, and I use RModman for mods)

[gilded sluice]

if you got valheim on PC. you can find it in your steam library -> properties -> local files

[dire palm]

I installed some mods to Valheim with thunderstore and it started to look like this so I deleted all the mods and it still looked like this and I verified the game files, I reinstalled the game and I even installed it to a different drive on my pc and Valheim still looks like this

[stark meadow]

For mod related isssues visit #mods-issues channel.
If you wish to play vanilla Valheim, checked the pinned comment under this channel with a link to a crash guide
Do the short reinstallation described in the Section 5 of the guide.

[steel ibex]

Idk if this is just a visual error, but my "Improved Archery" buff only gives +14 according to the Skills list

it says +14 with blue

[stark meadow]

Mostly visual. Known issue.

[steel ibex]

Understood, thanks!

[marble wolf]

PTB bugs need to be reported in the correct channels.

[ember fractal]

Same issue on pc with controller where the cursor goes crazy using d pad does not help. Pretty much unplayable

[marble wolf]

Same answer.

[ember fractal]

I don't see a PTB channel

[marble wolf]

You'll need the tester role from Channels & Roles.

[ember fractal]

How do I get that?

Found it thanks for the help

[marble wolf]

Go to Channels & Roles and click 'I want to be a tester'

[worldly pulsar]

My bad! Couldn’t find the ptb channel either, thanks

[barren sorrel]

Im having an issue with recipes not unlocking, which I believe is probably caused by using the nocost command once

I just harvested onions and turnips for the first time and I cannot replant them for seeds

and I had the materials for one of the workbench upgrades earlier but could not make it

[lilac stump]

Having an issue where upon logging in some players are muted despite not wanting them muted. Anything to be done about that? Being visible on the map is also usually turned off when this occurs.

[marble wolf]

Muted? There's no voice chat in the game.

[lilac stump]

The text chat. You can mute the text chat.

[mortal stirrup]

OK, sorry if this has already been answered before or multiple times... But has crafting changed for Raw Fish? We're on the PTS after not playing for a long time, and for whatever reason the Cauldron is no longer able to chop up fish.

[lilac stump]

Yeah its on a prep table now

[marble wolf]

PTB questions / bug reports need to be in the appropriate channels. Channels & Roles for the tester role if you don't have it.

[mortal stirrup]

Turns out it was just a general question, but thanks for the heads-up.

Also, I got... timed out from the server for saying Thank You in Spanish?

[tired knoll]

My valheim suddenly won't load anymore on my mac. I checked if the files were damaged but they were fine, uninstalled and installed several times (deleting all related files) nothing helps. I was literally playing fine an hour or two ago. It still works fine on my steam deck, just not on my mac

Heck it won't even stop normally. Steam just gets stuck on "stopping game" after try to stop the game (since it is not loading)

[brave light]

Would recomend using thunderstore for modded to keep modded an unmodded seperate works wonders for me

[vital stratus]

We just killed Yagluth and only his head trophy dropped for us. 😦 We looked it up on the web and discovered that the other item needed to progress drops into his summoning altar...but if we hadn't it would basically have stopped our progression. (v 0.218.21 (n-31)) I feel like this is a potential progression stopping bug that should be fixed asap.

[marble remnant]

Hey guys, I want to report an issue, not sure is it known. After the latest game update on Steam Deck inventory navigation is broken with both d pad and left stick. Sometimes it's just impossible to move active cell to one of the direction, sometimes it jumps through many inventory cells at once. Seems to work fine for top bar but once inventory is open it appears to happen. If I'm submitting a bug to the wrong place please let me know how to handle it properly.

[marble wolf]

PTB bugs go in the PTB channels...

[marble remnant]

Sorry but may I get a link to a channel cause I don't see it. Got all the roles possible

[toxic river]

Issues related to PTB should be reported in #valheim-public-test. If you can't see this channel, tick 'I want to be a public tester' in the Channels & Roles tab at the top of the channel list.

[marble remnant]

Huge thanks

[stark meadow]

Which Mac, M1?

[trail jacinth]

idk if its a bug but i wanted to buy valheim but ig i was late, promotion said to end oct 27 but it ended before?

now its back to normal price

[stark meadow]

To me it looks like this:

[trail jacinth]

yeah i took that screenshot the day sale started

did it end before or is it a bug

[plucky lava]

Playing via a DualSense. Not had any issues playing Valheim with a controller in circa 1500 hours. Now when in chests on any in-game menu the cursor bounces about. Tried numerous fixes but it feels like this might have been caused by the latest updates?

No issues at all in the in game menus

[marble wolf]

On the PTB?

[plucky lava]

Yeah

[marble wolf]

Then it's a known issue and you're in the wrong channel.

[plucky lava]

I'm trying to play with a friend otherwise I'd test off the PTB. Oh okay thanks I'll go and find the right channel

[marble wolf]

You already have the tester role so they should be available.

[plucky lava]

Found them cheers

[graceful dune]

just asking here before i start checking if its my mods. but does anyone else have necks not drop tails?

[gilded sluice]

they don't have a 100% tail droprate

[graceful dune]

ah. in the past ive been so sure they did

[night coral]

"Please backup you save data before using."
Just a small typo

[fierce hull]

I can´t acces menu (it started when i accidently start public test with mods)

[marble wolf]

That'll be a question for the PTB channel.

[hasty mural]

oopsies

[tired knoll]

yeah. I was playing it, worked perfect. I wanted to add a world file from someone but it didn't show up in the game when I did. Googled around and a couple people mentioned to put it in the local world folder but to first turn off steam cloud upload. That was a mistake. Just turning off the steam cloud upload immediately crashed the game upon start and I never got it working again. Uninstalled and re-installed several times, making sure everything and all files were completely wiped off the computer with each uninstall. Checked if the files were corrupted; they weren't. Nothing worked. Just won't start. The icon shows up in the dock, but no game. And when I then want to stop it, it won't stop either I have to force quit steam.

[gilded sluice]

that's usually caused by playing PTB with mods

[short charm]

I am being hunted in-between the plains and the ocean this normal? Only have boat. no mods.

[balmy garnet]

it may be water, but that's still plains, "ocean" only starts once it reaches 30~ meters of depth

[short charm]

either way pretty sure this raid like event is only suppose to be unique to either the mountainsor you home/ base

[balmy garnet]

"you are being hunted" is the one invasion that can happen out in the wild as long as you're on a mountain or in plains in a post-bonemass world

[short charm]

ahh fair enough then thought was unique

[marble wolf]

It is unique, no other event happens away from bases.

[short charm]

to the mountains i meant. my bad

[gusty crag]

Mining iron in swamp crypts in the live version on my PC through steam, and sometimes when I come out of the crypt I find scrap iron laying around on the ground outside. Not sure if this is a bug or intended, but I haven't experienced it on previous playthroughs. It's as if iron I mine in the crypts is leaking through the walls.

[balmy garnet]

iron drops at the center of each fragment, and some of the fragments are just barely peeking past the walls, so their scrap drops outside the walls.
and since dungeon interiors are hiiiigh up in the sky, the scrap then falls down into the overworld, landing somewhere near the entrance.

[low ocean]

Wow really? Interesting mechanic

[sudden fable]

After the small patch a few days ago, now whenever starting the game it crashes after a few minutes. Main main, public world and hosted worlds are all the same outcome.

No mods, no beta builds, tried a file validation, reinstall, updated drivers etc etc.

Anyone else experienced this?

[stark meadow]

There were no game updates recently if you haven't been testing public beta version of the game (Bog Witch).

What are your PC specs?

[sudden fable]

high enough to have over 1000 hours of play time without issue before yesterday

[stark meadow]

I advise to read most common crash causes here: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/uq9b8x/my_valheim_is_crashing_fix_for_crash_guide/

Post your PC specs if you would like further help.

[slate burrow]

Afternoon. Trying to play Valheim after some time away, and whenever I load it through Steam, this flashes up briefly and then Steam stops loading the game. Tried verifying game files, reinstalling the game. This has been happening the last few days. Any help appreciated <3

[stark meadow]

Check the above blue link that I just posted 👆
More specifically, the Section5 and how to prefor clean re-installation.

[stark meadow]

Let me know if/when you'll have some time to check Steam crash logs as well.
Crashes on M1 are common, and it's currently not known as to why.
Something related to hardware is a guess, but from what you mentioned, it wonder if it might be related to Steam Cloud files as well.

[digital lotus]

I'm relativaley new to the game, never use mods or creative mode. I just started a private server and invited my friend who just downloaded the game fo rthe first time today. Somehow they have creative mode active in my server which I can't even activate for myself. How is this possible and how do I fix it/remove it?

[stark meadow]

On which platform is your friend playing?

[digital lotus]

Both on steam PC

[stark meadow]

Can you get your friend to send you a copy of their player.log file, which can be located if they press the show player.log button the starting menu (bottom left corner)

[digital lotus]

They're not on atm but when they get back I will

[stark meadow]

Play for some time, e.g. 1h, then tell them to logout, access the folder while the game is running, and send you the file, so without closing the game

[tidal swan]

Might be the wrong channel for this, and if it is I appologize. I have a issue where i can't find my worlds or characters in my Valheim Data folder. That being said it's been a long time since i accesed them so i might be looking in the wrong folders. Does anyone know what folders i can look for in order to acces,copy or edit the worlds i have?

[stark meadow]

Are saves visible in manage saves menu when you launch Valheim with Steam Cloud enabled?

[tidal swan]

yes, i can still acces them in-game if that's what you mean

[stark meadow]

They should be on Steam Cloud location then: https://i.imgur.com/mTVKf1J.jpg?4

[tidal swan]

i will try this, Thank you so much! Hopefully i can prehaps find some of my old worlds i've dedicated 100+h to

[tired knoll]

well this is odd... no crash log. Unless I am looking in the wrong place? steamapps/common/Valheim

[gilded sluice]

wrong place

[idle pasture]

So the menu issues with controller play seem to be still an issue? Every few minutes the highlight square goes nuts.

[stark meadow]

It's a known issue. Even though it was known on previous public test version of the game, due to Microsoft and Apple authentication processes taking time to approve fixes. Fix for this should come as soon as possible.

[idle pasture]

ok i use controller due to health issues that makes keyboard controls hard for me but thank you!

[stark meadow]

You can use a D-pad as a workaround to navigate menus until fixed, although Dpay↓ makes you enter a sitting animation on some controller layouts (separate issue).

[idle pasture]

i will try that thank you

[gilded sluice]

updated 🫡
||And people say we don't listen|| 👀

So I play on my steam deck and I'm noticing when I'm in my inventory feels like it's sticking when I'm going through things.

[deep lark]

you're experiencing a known issue with controllers in the bog witch update unfortunately. i have the same problem with xbox controller

[night coral]

🫡

[unborn axle]

Is there any known fix? It just started today for me

[gilded sluice]

it started today since the problem wasn't solved yet.
it will be fixed ASAP

[sonic portal]

Hey can the bog witch still spawn if the world was created before the update?

[marble wolf]

Yep, if you have unexplored Swamp.

[bright hemlock]

Hey, anyone else unable to start their worlds?

[gilded sluice]

dedicated or singleplayer?

[bright hemlock]

singleplayer

[gilded sluice]

mods?

[bright hemlock]

yeah I got some

[gilded sluice]

ah.. we just updated the game engine so your mods are probably horribly broken 🥲

[bright hemlock]

hahaha, Ill get around to it then, thanks

[gilded sluice]

np 🫡

everytime we update. make sure your mods isn't what acts up

[bright hemlock]

Aightie, Ill get on it boss

[weak root]

Still have a bug in the game in which the control auto scrols in the inventory and is not stable. Noticed this during the public test, but in the regular version it is still happening.

[south lance]

To backup saves?

I actually completely missed it and as a result, the whole house burned down.

So thanks for nothing Iron Gate

Literally homeless now

[gilded sluice]

Working in it. Hopefully we can push out a fix. Soon™️

Not tonight tho. We already went to bed waiting to work on more fixes tomorrow

[tender spire]

Curious if Bog witch will be added to Valhiem map Gen?

[gaunt mist]

Probably in few days

[terse marsh]

Hello. I have a bug to report. The player based raids are active even if I deactivate them. This started happening after the bog witch patch. Please fix asap TY!🥳

[stark meadow]

Getting surtlings, trolls and bats? If so, known issue.

[terse marsh]

Oh cool, Thank you!

[barren hollow]

does anyone has problem with opening building hud?

[marble wolf]

Yep, anyone on controller.

[wet bolt]

Playing with new bog witch update - beat yagluth but Haldor is not selling eggs to me - bug?

[proper lantern]

My game updated and now the menu's are almost unusable with a controller. I know you're working on it and that's appreciated, but whats the point of having a public testing branch if you're releasing an update with such a major bug?

[vagrant girder]

Potions are floating. 👀

[late portal]

Hello, these days I joined valheim again after a few months away from it and I got jumpscared by my character having just the items I had equipped. What could be the issue?

[mental gull]

Hey is anyone having issues with loading their existing world after the update? I'm receiving a message that it is based on a previous version of the game.

[tired knoll]

ok great. But where can I find them? Google has not been very helpful as they say it should be in this folder. And I also have not found in the Steam/logs folder...

yep, I've had this happen. If I remember correctly; also only with keyboard... I thought it was just my setup being difficult (steam deck with adaptor) I guess not since you have this happen too

[open gate]

how do i play the update after being in the PTB? I selected "none" in beta options, but the game can't seem to find the update. I even cleared my download cache and restarted steam. I feel like I must have missed a step somewhere.

[unkempt sierra]

Hello, I have a problem with mead, the recipes dissapeared from the coldron, I tried at my old base and still the same issue, tried to quit the game and log back up, verify files on steam, destroy the coldron and built it again, or pick up all the incredients needed for poison resistence mead, the recipes are still not there, any solutions ? It could be because I've unlocked mead ketil, I cannot build it right now

[stark meadow]

PTB and NONE are the same update now. If you wanna swtich to pre-BogWitch update, you have to choose pre_BogWitch in the beta menu or default_old

Note that if you go back to pre-BogWitch, all the saves you've loaded on BogWitch will also have to be reverted.

[stark meadow]

Certain foos have been moved to new crafting stations. There's two new stations.

[open gate]

I was playing in the PTB yesterday, but now I'd like to switch back to the main build of the game. Problem is I can't get steam to update. I don't know how to unselect the PTB if that makes sense

[stark meadow]

Happens due to Unity garbage collector running in background and stalls movement when it happens. You can switch to proton mode where it should happen less, but not worth it imo.

[stark meadow]

Are you playing on Steam?

[open gate]

Yea on steam

[stark meadow]

Valheim properties in Steam library → BETA → choose default_prebw

[open gate]

ohhhhh

[stark meadow]

When in game, click on manage saves button, and for each save (world and character) expand their backcup list, select the top most save in format savename_backup-timestamp and choose restore button (those are pre BogWitch saves).

[open gate]

I figured it would be the selction: "none", I have the update now thank you.

[open yoke]

Hi. i got a weird screen when loading in to a world. And i can't continue.

[gaunt mist]

Any mods currently?

[open yoke]

Yes but the issue is still there after removing the mods.

[gaunt mist]

There might be some files of those mods remaining in game folder that can cause the issue.

My quess at least, I have not used mods but they can leave files in folder even after removal.

[vital stratus]

Does the issue persist if you start a new world with a new character?

[open yoke]

I'm searching for my world save now to make a complete reinstall.

[open yoke]

Yes i does.

[gaunt mist]

It's the mod files then.

They tend to break game after new patch since mods need to be updated.

[vital stratus]

I think there is a pins somewhere on the Discord on how to completely remove mods and reinstall vanilla. Or you can wait for the mods to updated.

[open yoke]

Renaming doorstep_config fixed it, time for clenup then.

[manic stone]

I can't sleep or sit on benches when I press 'e', I play with NO mods

[broken sorrel]

Stick drift in menus after latest update using an external controller. PC and Linux. Has this been addressed yet? If so, apologies for reposting.

[marble wolf]

A hot fix is on its way as soon as they can.

[broken sorrel]

Thank you!

[signal wave]

Whenever loading up valheim this white screen just pops up and stays stuck on it, I tried restarting my game multiple times, opening from discord, and reinstalling.

[stark meadow]

Try short version of clean re-installation described in the crash guide Section 5
https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/uq9b8x/

[signal wave]

This didn't work.

[signal wave]

@gilded sluice I was told to ping you from a previous opened ticket if it still hasnt been resolved.

Heres a clip on what happens if it helps.

[wicked skiff]

i started up my server after the update and am getting an error saying could not extract valid IP adress from externalIP download string

it worked prior and now doesnt work at all with no changes to the bat file

no mods completely vanila

[gritty plume]

Bug report: blue berries on item stands are placed too low into the ground. For comparison a normal blueberry dropped on the table. This wasnt a problem prior to the last updates. As far as I can tell no other item has this problem.

[prime willow]

Wrong pt-BR translate: "Descanse" not "Descane"

[tired knoll]

in fact, I have it happen now (but with controller though) and I cannot access my lower items in my inventory. I try to move the selection down and it refuses, just stutters.

ok my Valheim is suddenly extremely buggy. When I open the build menu the selection just races through by itself (blue highlighted tile) looks like I am leaning on my keyboard, yet I am not. In my inventory, I cannot select anything other than the top row with my controller. I can with a mouse click though, just not with the D-pad, it keeps jumping back to the top line. Playing on a GeForce Windows machine at the moment.

[marble wolf]

Yeah, this is a bug with controllers. Proably the most reported bug so far.

A fix is coming soon.

[tired knoll]

ok cool because I can't even play with a keyboard anymore. I can't select a build menu item, not even with my keyboard. If I try it just says "nothing to builld". Pretty much game breaking bug for me unfortunately.

[worldly notch]

I think I've found a Bogwitch bug. She won't sell me the Seafarer's Herbs, not showing in the list at all, and I have killed many serpents. I have 49 serpent meat in a chest and two serpent heads on the wall. I'll go try to track down a serpent to see if killing another fixes it but for now she doesn't seem to be picking up that vairable from previous world state

[rose urchin]

Hi there, if you are using mouse/keyboard, you can just deselect "Enable Gamepad" and it should act normally. The bug is only when that is enabled.

[fickle narwhal]

Hello, does anyone else have a bug that prevents them from sleeping? I just jump on the bed but he doesn't lie down.

[gilded sluice]

https://valheim.com/news/patch-0-219-14
Fixes & Improvements:

• Fixed an issue making input on controllers where using the inventory and making small movements became very difficult
• Player characters no longer sits down when using the D-pad in the build menu
• Consumed feasts are no longer fully replenished after logging out and into server
• Servers are once again joinable through DNS
• Food Preparation Table now has broken state and LODs
• Mead Kettil now has broken state and LODs

[gilded sluice]

I've seen people reporting it. but I can't reproduce it

it might be people pressing movement keys, while the character is going to lie down 🤔

[chilly kiln]

Not sure if this was mentioned yet. When on a ship everyone but your own toon is jiggling like a line dance on high energy, had that on my stream last night

[iron steppe]

Yeah, I just had this too. Never had it prior to the Bog Witch patch.

[gilded sluice]

that is broken mods

you're the 3rd person who get the "brown square" mods-are-broken-problem

[stable lodge]

Hi, any clue as to why the legs of our characters are a much different shade? Just a funny goof I think

[gilded sluice]

picture?

[stable lodge]

Ughhhhh. Sorry, i just logged out. But if it helps, I'm playing on a friends world and he is xbox, I am pc.

[gilded sluice]

doesn't help to much

what armor parts, naked? etc etc

mods break stuff

but we also updated to unity 2022.3.50

so some shaders could have broken, and we never saw it 🤔

[stark meadow]

We've confirmed the issue later. Don't have controller plugged in while you play with keyboard and mouse.

[stable lodge]

Naked, but when we log in tomorrow I'll try and grab pics

[gilded sluice]

like this?

[stark meadow]

Are you talking about a dedicated server? Tried launching default server config file (world name dedicated, crossplay enabled)

[iron steppe]

Anyone else not able to start a dedicated server post the hot patch tonight? Even on a fresh valheim server install with no mods - I cant connect. Was fine a few hours ago with Bog Witch patch running before the additional hot patch. No issues until jsut now.

Been running Valheim dedicated servers for years+ - never seen this before....

I see at least 2-3 other people asking about dedicated servers not starting... so wondering if it is a wider issue?

[stark meadow]

Please provide more informatin. Try reinstalling it and launching with default server config file (world dedicated, pass secret, crossplay enabled, ...)

[iron steppe]

yep - I'm working through it now - was just wondering if widespread or not.

I'll do some IT debugging and get to the bottom of it. At the moment all I know is I cant connect - it fails - but client and server same new version 0.219.14

No issues prior to update.

Tried fresh server - same issue. Will keep digging and checking logs etc...

[gilded sluice]

Hm.. my antivirus wants attention from me when I start it

so first launch failed

clicked the "hi windows firewall, yes my dedicated server software is safe"

started again. works fine

@iron steppe

[iron steppe]

kk - i'll see what I can find - thanks

[errant pine]

I used to play Valheim on Xbox Game Pass long ago, now i have Valheim in Steam but i want my old same file from the Xbox Game Pass from Cloud save, how do i get it without having to buy a month on game pass?

[stark meadow]

Unfortunately it's only possible to transfer saves through the in-game menu, by moving the save from Cloud to Local.
Xbox Cloud saves, although also having a local representation on the PC, can't be read by Steam.

[errant pine]

Damn

[mystic coral]

anyone else had items disappearing when picking them up from chest? I was picking flours from chest with ctrl+click, more than half of them didn't move to my inventory but disappeared from the chest.

[stark meadow]

Sounds like a mod issue or network lag.

Are you playing on a dedicated server? Were you breading lots of tamed animals between Nov2023 and Aug2024?

[mystic coral]

I'm not using any mods. it's my own game

[signal wave]

Yeah but im running it just plain vanilla.

[stark meadow]

Flout stacks got increased from 20 to 50
You might have had 20/50 stacks in your chests that merged now

[mystic coral]

oh... lmao

[stark meadow]

What did you do that didn't work?

Did you do the registry step?

[wet jackal]

Hey! I have the Mod Equipment and Quick Slots, which when the new update happened broke the game. It works when i don't use it, but my stuff in the quick slots is gone. Is there a way to fix the mod? has anyone else faced similar issues? what can be done?

[signal wave]

Yep

[stark meadow]

Your game resolution still didn't return to default, so you prob didn't do that correctly.

You can also try adding this to Valheim launch setting on Steam:
-screen-fullscreen 0 -screen-height 1080 -screen-width 1920

[gilded sluice]

validate game files

[gilded sluice]

--> #mods-issues

[signal wave]

Alright ill try that when I hop on

[wet jackal]

oh sorry, thank you

[copper hearth]

Yo, sry if this have been asked before, but have the jumping skill been nerfed? It seems like my char is jumping lower then it was before the patch was released. I play without mods.

[stark meadow]

Nope. The feather cape jump bonus got moved to the Light Foot mead.

[rich pier]

When raining, Shield Generator stops pieces (and player) from getting wet, so their HP isn’t reduced. However, fire sources, campfire and heart etc, get wet and the fire extinguishes. I believe the same logic should apply, Shield Generator should stop rain from affecting fire sources.
No it’s not wind extinguishing the fire. And I understand wind needs to still work inside Shield Generator, for windmill and cape movement speed bonus for example.
But the fire sources getting wet feels like a bug. You can be the player, dry as a desert, right beside a wet fire source.

[copper hearth]

Alright! Thx mate

[gilded sluice]

yeah. it's a matter of adding new "rules" to everything

it's one of the things we have on the back-burner to fix

[rich pier]

Nice, thanks for the info

May I also ask if food placed inside a ward with the Serving Tray, being able to be consumed by not permitted players, is it intentional or a case of new rules too?

[gilded sluice]

Hm... probably we never tried that 😄

hence things like this is nice to be tried by players in the PTB

[stark meadow]

Do you have a situation where you want them to not be eaten by certain players?

[gilded sluice]

I bet eating other peoples "decorations" is what Onnan means 😄

[rich pier]

Food placed with item stands, decorations, can’t be removed inside a ward. And the Serving Tray is basically a Hammer for food decorations if you exclude the feasts.

So yeah I expect my ward to act like a ward. eheh

[weak root]

New Update improved the scrolling bug issues, but they still happen occasionally. Also the player walks a few steps at times without any movement. Triple checked that it's not a controller issues.

[shy lance]

The issue with gyroscope in steam deck.
Camera shakes
It was not like this before 0.219.13

[stark meadow]

Which controller do you have?

[shy lance]

ok, just reset steam gyro settings to default
and on default settings it's playable

I had disabled (was set to 0) "Enhance Small Movement Precision" in steam gyro settings.
Reverted it back to 75 and now there is no shakes.

The problem that I don't want to slow down on small movements

As I said - It was not like this before 0.219.13

[wise pier]

The cauldron works even without a fire under it 🤨

[glossy fiber]

Due to the extra yields from the cooking (or crafting) skill, you can get extra items from crafts that really shouldn't be able to grant extra yields. things like weapons or armor for example. Especially when "upgrading" the ashlands weapons into the different variants. i just gained three Nidhöggs in total from crafting one and then upgrading it to (in this case) bleeding for example. And that just feels wrong.

that was one sword

[fickle narwhal]

thanks!

[craggy heath]

hey everyone... I am having some audio issues.... I am using a laptop attached to a monitor. I want the audio to go through my monitor and not my laptop. currently all audio works except Valheim.

[tiny dagger]

Hello, I have no idea if I should say the problem here, but my internet just went out, and when I returned to the world, I started to fall, and I fell at the beginning of the game, then I saw and my house disappeared, the portals and all that

(use Google Translate, I speak Spanish)

Has it happened to anyone? how normal is it?

[stark meadow]

On which platform are you playing? Dedicated server?

[tiny dagger]

I was going over day 300, and now I'm on day 1.

[tiny dagger]

I don't understand you well, but I play from a PC on a two-person server

[stark meadow]

PC Steam? Whos is hosting the world, your or your friend?

[tiny dagger]

Steam, the world belongs to my boyfriend

[stark meadow]

When they enter their own world in single player, is the world ok for him?

Not you. But the owner of the world, which is your boyfriend, is the world ok for them when they enter the world in single player?

[tiny dagger]

When he started the world only everything went wrong, and then between me and everything wrong

before it was fine

[placid badger]

MY WORLD IS DESAPEAR

[stark meadow]

Tell your boyfriend to launch the game, and in the starting menu, your boyfriend should see "Manage saves" button.
Click on that "Manage saves" buton, select the "Worlds" tab. Find your specific world (check name) and expand the backup list for your specific world. In the backup list, select the top most backup which has the name "worldname_backup-auto-timestamp". Select that backup and press "Restore" button.

[placid badger]

I'm going to try

I'm shaking

Parkinson's

YEEEEEEI 😄

Thank you very much, good man or woman

[tiny dagger]

THANK YOU

[stark meadow]

Np. Even thought you might have lost an hour of progress in the world or so.

[placid badger]

We didn't lose much anyway

[tropic torrent]

I ran into a new issue, I think, trying to create the Vananidir mead base. The crafting recipe won't show as valid if you use two fish of different rank. As you can see, I have all the ingredients in my inventory but the recipe won't highlight because one of my perch is R3 and the other is R1. When I grabbed another R1 perch from my stores, it popped up.

[marsh ravine]

Cooking bug

If you are already cooking on the cooking station (say you already had some boar meat cooking away), if you spam the 'use' (E) button the cooking skill goes up.

I'm guessing this has been raised already? Or did my impatient self discover this 😄

[stark meadow]

Yeah, you can check known issues at valheim.com/support

[marsh ravine]

Can't seem to see it on there so I'll pop it on myself just in case I've missed it

[stark meadow]

You're right, it's not there. We made it invisible becaouse it's technically an exploit, and we generally don't want explots to be known

[marsh ravine]

Would you like me to remove this post then referring to it?

[stark meadow]

Nah, I'm thinking of makin the issue visible anyway as it's widely known anyway.

[marsh ravine]

Okie dokie

[signal wave]

Didn't work.

[signal wave]

This worked, thank you!!

[vital stratus]

I ran into an issue where the Food Prep Table is showing the Workstation crafting list. I thought it was strange that I could repair my tools at the food prep table and clicked on the icon and that changed it to the Workstation crafting list. It fixed itself by logging out, exiting the game and relaunching the game and world.

[stark meadow]

Looks like either mods or you are playing with nocost option in debugmode.

[vital stratus]

No mods, but I had enabled the debugmode earlier, but had it disabled at the time I was using the prep table.

[stark meadow]

Can you try uninstalling the game then, and manually check if you get left with leftover files after un-installation?

Also disabling debugmode mode isn't enough, you also have to disable nocost mode before you disable debugmode

[neat hound]

Can i please get help with this crashing issue, The game keeps crashing whenever i go to a portal or try to open a chest

Ive also never crashed playing this game before until today which is my first time playing after bog witch

[stark meadow]

What system specs do you have? Grabbed any of the player.logs after a crash?

[neat hound]

7800x3d 32gbs ddr5 4070ti on a gen 5 ssd i just verified filrs and re installed the game with no success, and no I don't know how to get the logs

It's also a multiplayer world that I'm hosting

[modest cosmos]

Ran into an issue with troll endurance, I have a level two and a level three troll fish in my inventory and 10 honey and also powdered dragon, egg shells, and it won’t let me create the mead.

[stark meadow]

It's intentional for now that you can't use different levels of fish to craft the mead.

[modest cosmos]

@stark meadow alrighty then, thanks for the info

[stark meadow]

Higher level fish is better for crafting raw fish, and raw fish unility has increased due to feast recipes. It might be increased further by it being required for more thing. It might change in the future.

[stark meadow]

Check the crash guide that's pinned in the comments. It should explain how to look into player.log files after a crash occurs.
In what manner to you crash? Black screen with ongoing audio, frozen screen, crash to desktop, entire system crashing?

[neat hound]

Just screen turns white a brief white pop up with valheim logo and a jumble of letters and numbers with a blue loading bar, all within a matter of 3 seconds

[stark meadow]

And then you find yourself being back at the desktop with Valheim closed?

[neat hound]

yes

[neat hound]

rn im watching my task manager until a crash happens to see if its a me hardware issue

[stark meadow]

You won't conclude much from the task manager alone.
Check Section2 of where to look for crash cause info: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/uq9b8x/my_valheim_is_crashing_fix_for_crash_guide/

[neat hound]

I gotta wait for another crash

[stiff junco]

Why is there two motion blur and depth of field. One of each in the graphics and one of each in the accessibility?

[stark meadow]

Just because the setting could be considered to be in both categories.

[stiff junco]

Cool thank you.

[manic orbit]

that's pretty smart, actually 👀

[vital stratus]

No leftover files, except the world and character saves in the user/appdata folders. As I originally stated, when I exited and restarted the game, it seems the bug fixed itself. I did enter debugmode and noticed that the prep station does show all the items from the workstation when debugmode is enabled, but if I disable it, then it returns back to normal. When I had the bug it seems like something glitched and caused it to keep the workstation list even when debugmode was disabled. It's not a major bug, but thought I woul report it nonetheless.

[neat hound]

@stark meadow after a pc restart i havent crashed since

[hushed tinsel]

Anyone else been having seemingly random crashes since last update? I'm used RX 6600 + Ryzen 5 5600

[south acorn]

Anyone know if they are working on the issue with controls when accessing inventory and other in game menus?

[marble wolf]

Didn't that get fixed in the latest hotfix?

[neat hound]

I did aswell but fixed it with a reinstall and pc restart

Unsure if it's a fix but it stopped crashing for me

[modest cosmos]

Got an issue after the update with the infested mines. The secret room doors are already up and the cores are missing.

Each core holder is empty 😢

[gilded sluice]

Sounds more like a thief problem 🤔

[modest cosmos]

@gilded sluice nope, brand new mine

@gilded sluice only myself and girlfriend play on that server

@gilded sluice I’ll try another new one tomorrow to see if it’s really a bug.

[gilded sluice]

Hm..

brand new

🤔

I don't think that's a normal option

for me. they behave just like expected

[crimson rover]

I have same issue. I killed many serpents previously (2.8KH of Valheim 😅 ). So do we need to kill another one to get Seafarer's herbs or is it just a bug ?

[worldly notch]

Killing another unlocked it for ke

[crimson rover]

Yeah I just did before seeing your answer and it worked, thanks 🙂
I still assume it's a bug as we don't need to kill again all the bosses for the other feasts.

[gilded sluice]

yes 🥲

[gilded sluice]

you should be able to "trigger" a boss kill if you just touch the trophys hung on the Starting temple, or pickup there boss powers 🤔

[queen inlet]

portal issues are known? i renamed a portal and it connected on one side but not the other, so I couldnt return

[stark meadow]

some issues are known

Singleplayer or multiplayer?
How old is that previous portal connection?

[real socket]

Hey Smiffe! My friend is having trouble with saving and logging out, he saves his character/world, rejoins & all his items he picked up are gone, his character is somehow not saving. I’m not entirely sure why, but do you maybe know the problem?

[queen inlet]

its old, i was changing one of the sides several times but not the other side

the map is mainly multiplayer but i was technically alone when it happened

[tough drum]

Control still having a problem now in the stable version?

[smoky jungle]

Valheim is crashing on me as I'm launching it, just as the hammer is rotating in the lower right corner of the screen and just before entering the title screen of the game. I've tried verifying and then reinstalling the game, and also reinstalling my GPU drivers. It was last working before the most recent hotfix. Is this something experienced by other people as well, or is it just me? (launching directly from Steam, without any mods installed)

Edit: For some weird reason, it works when launching using the .exe file directly, without using Steam.

Re-edit: Reinstalled Steam, still not working from Steam, still working when starting the .exe file directly.

[pine moon]

Probably already logged but l I’ll post it anyways for good measure:

Crafted something in the galdor table and it suddenly duplicated....

[gilded sluice]

either someone is spawning locations, your friend has problems with steam cloud or local storage (c:) is full, or it's usually mods 🤔

[gilded sluice]

no. hotfixed out

[gilded sluice]

remove mods, validate game files

[gilded sluice]

known thing. it's kinda wierd but...

[smoky jungle]

Thanks for responding. Done so several times. Also completely reinstalled the game, and even completely reinstalled Steam. Looks like the problem is with Steam, because I can start the game from the exe file just fine now.

[gilded sluice]

how does your install folder look like?

like this I hope

[quartz blade]

This is very weird

No sound is responding except for ambient wind/rain, items work but do not appear in my hand (top left I have the axe equipped) and this happens randomly, but will not go away

and fire also doesnt appear?

Everytime Ive came back to this game Ive had to stop playing due to bugs? Why are random things like this so common with this game?

[smoky jungle]

yep, like that

[gilded sluice]

you'r mods are broken

[gilded sluice]

nothing else in the folder?

[quartz blade]

im aware, I cant boot it in the vanilla without corruption

[gilded sluice]

not much we can help you with to be honest. either wait for mods to update, or totally remove all mods, remove all install places etc etc.
usually bepinex or the mod loader itself don't work and that's the real cause.

or your worlds are so heavily modded. they can't load correctly in vanilla 😦

[quartz blade]

They only have qol mods, very few of them

[gilded sluice]

well. we pushed a hotfix today. so mod makers have had less than a few hours to start fixing issues.

it all takes 1 mod to break the entire game

[real socket]

Got it, thank you! It’s working now, 😄

[gilded sluice]

which one was it? 😮

[real socket]

We’re not sure.. it just started working again after restarting over and over again

we enabled you to see what the "finished product" gives you

before, you had to make it to know what it did

[marble wolf]

That makes a lot of sense, actually.

[iron steppe]

yeah - i like it

[acoustic idol]

ahh ok thank you

[gilded sluice]

you like it or did you find it confusing?

[acoustic idol]

I like it, i was just confused since i have valheim experience i tried to eat both at once 😭

100% a good change for new players

[gilded sluice]

😄

don't eat dough

[acoustic idol]

what about cookie dough

[marble wolf]

0nly in the US would they make half finished food a meal.

[low ocean]

Maybe it should say: "Once you have cooked this item, you can consume it, and it will provide the following bonuses".

[acoustic idol]

do you think maybe it would work better with an X over the yellow fork though? just as a avoidance to confusion

[iron steppe]

yeah - "when cooked" or somethin

[solar gust]

Hello, I'm having a problem if you can help me, when I'm playing the game normally, out of nowhere this valheim unity window appears and the game just closes, does anyone have a solution?

I've already updated drivers, reinstalled the game, switched to compatibility mode, and was unsuccessful

my computer is the following things:
R5 5600 42GB
RX 6700 XT 12GB

[stark meadow]

Using mods?
If not, double check that you don't have extra files in installation directory other than these:
https://i.imgur.com/vdpdeOA.jpg

[solar gust]

sorry for the terrible english I'm using a translator

[solar gust]

I already checked this, I also never used mods, I just bought the game about 12 hours ago

I don't know what to do anymore 😦

[stark meadow]

Have you also checked how the player.log looks like after you crash?

From your specs alone I would say that most likely cause for the crash is RX 6700 XT running on too high voltage.
Do you know if it's an Asus one, or some other manufacturer?

[solar gust]

é uma Rx6700xt Red Devil

the temperature does not rise to 60

[solar gust]

I'll try to see what it shows

[stark meadow]

Has to be grabbed after a crash. Sometimes past crashes are also saves on another location (Check Section2 in the linked crash guide in the pinner comments).

What I would try first, is install Radeon software and apply 4% reduction on your graphic card clocks, like so:

Worked for a couple of players with identical specs as you, jsut different card manufacturer (this one was ASrock)

[solar gust]

I made the change and the game closed even faster 😮

but now I checked the file and this appeared

If you allow me, I can send the file here

[stark meadow]

Did you lower both the voltage and frequency by 4% like in the screenshot?

[solar gust]

yes

[stark meadow]

Try 3% next.
Do you remember at any point tweaking anything in the BIOS settings?
Have you checked optional windows updates to see if there are any updates related to CPU, or chipset drivers?

[solar gust]

about the bios I didn't change anything, unfortunately this happens only in this game, other heavier ones I don't have that

About Windows Updates everything is up to date!

[stark meadow]

Windows 10?

[solar gust]

yes

[stark meadow]

Some of the AMD GPUs crash in Valheim because Valheim can often use a GPU to 100%, which many of the other games don't. That's why I would focus on GPU first, but some other thing can be an issue as well

Have you found any of the previous crash logs as described in the guide?

[solar gust]

Yes, can I send it here?

[stark meadow]

Better to DM me

[low ocean]

Turn on v-sync and maybe turn some settings to little lower... and cap fps to something.

[ornate junco]

Hello, after update im stuck in a cave, stamina is stuck at 0

[gilded sluice]

you run any mods?

[ornate junco]

i figured out after you said mods, i had vr mod for installed for my friend, its fixed after i deleted it. i never considered this because the mod isnt for my use 😦

[smoky jungle]

I sincerely appreciate your quick responses even after working hours, and understand that "do you have any mods installed" is the "have you tried rebooting it" of game support. But I did really completely wipe and reinstall first just the game and then all of steam, and the crash on startup via Steam was still there. And weirdly enough it didn't crash, and was stable for a session of several hours, when starting the game directly using the exe file instead of via Steam. Could it be a Steam bug maybe?

[stark meadow]

Can you try disabling Steam overlay and Steam Cloud specifically for Valheim and then launch the game through Steam?
You should also check how your installation folder looks like when you right click on in Steam library → manage → browse local files, to see if that's the same folder from which you tried launching the game directly from.

[smoky jungle]

Thanks, I'll try those!

[gilded sluice]

yeah. since valheim does unity game upgrade quite often, we break all and any mods installed. and alot of people seeking help, are those who have mods since vanilla usually always just works unless a file goes corrupt in the update

[robust rain]

Roasted crust pie gives off loot sparkles when on Item stand, they go away if you pick it up, come back if you place it down.

[stark meadow]

Yeah, so does Asksvin tail apparently
We also have lots of foods hovering on item stands as well
Focus has been on Serving tray, so item stands were overlooked a bit

[robust rain]

I just noticed it, scrolled up a bit to see if it's mentioned 🙂

[noble grove]

Hello, one of my friends keeps crashing in the middle of the game. According to another friend, it might be due to the compatibility of his graphics card. Here it is: XFX SPEEDSTER SWFT 210 AMD Radeon RX 6600 8GB GDDR6.

[quartz plover]

With the new update I'm getting an error "This game version (0.219.14) is not yet supported, check discord for details." Is there a way to fix this? Playing on PC.

[bright coral]

Sounds like a warning from a mod or mod framework.

[quartz plover]

I'll check with the server I joined, but I only play vanilla otherwise.

[iron steppe]

Has the server itself been patched? It might need a reboot itself

[quartz plover]

No, not yet. They should be doing that soon, hopefully that fixes the issue.

[gilded sluice]

all Graphics cards are supported 🤔

this is why we use unity game engine and not make one ourselves

the last "issue" I can find that GPU and unity. is "please update to latest GPU drivers"

[gilded sluice]

correct. clients auto-update, but servers needs to be shut down to allow them to update 🫡
@quartz plover

[high coral]

is anyone else getting inputs unread or just having them cut after the update?

[faint shale]

Just wanna thank you guys from the developer team, you helped a friend of mine fixing a game crashing bug in under 20min, where we failed like 3 hours the evening before, you guys are awesome, have a nice weekend

[last agate]

Hi there! After last update (with witch) we with friend found that some of chests getting unavailable to open, destroy or even damage. You just click "E" as it is written but nothing happens. That is quite regular stuff in our last games after update.

[terse marsh]

Hello, do you have an estimate on when this will be fixed?

[stone garnet]

how to transfer saves
i played with xbox gamepass
and now i play with steam version
I tried to transfer but only the saves that were 10 months ago were transferred

[full arrow]

Looks like you can cook food without campfire being lit

[keen dock]

Any idea why my character was wiped somehow? The save exists but UI elements are missing and my inventory + skills are reset to 0

[gilded sluice]

mods

[keen dock]

Stands to reason I guess, tried to get some basic QoL stuff working and it has stubbornly refused

Restored from a backup so it's all good now, thanks for the answer though

[short charm]

Just noticed a bug. Certain comfort items override and confuse the current comfort button such as wood chair and thrones, maths is getting mixed up somewhere

[gilded sluice]

Valheim just updated. no mods works AFAIK yet

[keen dock]

That explains it, thanks man

[gilded sluice]

yeah. and we went from 2022.03.17 to 2022.03.50

so... 😄

[stark meadow]

You can only transfer saves through in game menu, so you would have to launch the game one more time via Xbox PC app, and to do that you now need to have Valheim bought for that Xbox account. Steam can't read Xbox Cloud save files.

[stark meadow]

Usually related to better better archery. Using any mods?

[stark meadow]

There are some problems with registering input at high FPS at specific places. Try limiting your FPS to 60 in the GUI settings to see if it will improve.

[stark meadow]

Do you have more details about their crashes?
In what manner do they crash? (CTD, BSOD, screen freeze, black screen with sound, etc...)
What CPU do they have?

[stone garnet]

If you're talking about accessing game saves. We have game saves. Consisting of some kind of Cyrillic and no file extension, and in steam they do not work can not read. And how does buying the game through xbox help us transfer the saves, or do you suggest we buy it there and play it there?

[high coral]

I think it happens at lower fps as well cause I play around 20-30 fps

[stark meadow]

Xbox PC app doesn't store game saves in a format readable by Steam, as long as those saves are marked as Xbox Cloud saves in the in-game menu. Thos Xbox Cloud saves are stores in 16MB chunks, which are combined when the game gets launched. The only way to tranform saves from 16GB chunks into saves readable by steam (worldname.fwl worldname.db character.fch) is to move those saves from Cloud to Local when managing saves thouhg in-game menu launched from Xbox PC app.

[stark meadow]

Do you remember specific scenario? Which input/action?
Currently GUI elements might not register an input at low FPS.

[high coral]

just happened now
movement with "WASD" and rare but still possible with mouse inputs

[stark meadow]

You mean walking in particular direction by holding W/A/S/D and then character suddenly stops?

[high coral]

yes

[winged mesa]

oops o

i'll post it in the mod issues channel

[stark meadow]

Do you use any special non standard keys for binds on mouse, keyboard or macro by some 3rd party software?

[high coral]

I've only ever rebound secondary attack and I don't use third party software

[noble grove]

His drivers have already been updated.

[gilded sluice]

clean install or update-install?

[noble grove]

what do u mean ?

[gilded sluice]

Clean install Nvidia

Clean install AMD

[bright coral]

Using a recent version of Docker on Linux 6.10, the docker/steamclient.so that ships with Valheim Dedicated Server can end up unable to bind to a useful interface. Got a crash from this using Iron Gate's image builder:

[S_API] SteamAPI_Init(): Loaded local 'steamclient.so' OK.
Missing interface adapter for SteamGameServer015
[Steamworks.NET] GameServer.Init() failed.

I replaced the steamclient.so shipped with a more recent one and initialization succeeds.

[clever nova]

I have two windows computers. I'm having an issue where I started a game on one computer (might have been a local game at one point), and removed the character/world because I am doing a hardcore thing right now(deleting it all and restart once I die), but then on the next try I started a cloud based game on my other computer. I am now in a state where the mini-map shows the terrain from the OLD map on the first computer, but everything else works as desired ( custom map markers work fine).

Is there any known fix?

[lone parcel]

iron and other stuff can get trapped under the floor. please we need a fix on it 😔👇

[lone parcel]

set the resource rate to double (2x) but its not applying to muddy piles
i dug up a random muddy pile, it only gave me 1 iron when it should've been 2 👇

[lone parcel]

weird that it only gave me one that time but maybe it does apply. look at this, all from a single crypt 👇

many chests and nearly all of them have 29-30 iron each

[keen dock]

I've noticed very strange behavior when my game's been running for a while (usually an hour or so at a time).

The framerate remains the same (80-100fps-ish) but there's an odd type of stuttering that takes place, whenever I move my camera it "hitches" for about 100ms at a time, roughly 3-4 times a second.

My game is unmodified, all files verify successfully, any ideas what might be causing it?

R7 3700x | 16GB DDR4 | RX 7800XT

[weary brook]

Here's a way to replicate the jitter bug movement issue, hope this helps

[tiny prism]

I have suffered from a "can't sleep or sit" -bug since the last update in the public test branch. Whenever I try to sleep in a bed or sit on a chair or a bench, my character just teleports on top of the object. This only occurs when I have my Playstation Dual Sense controller connected. I have had a version of the same bug, where the first input for sleeping/sitting teleports my character on to the object, but before 0.219.13 patch, a second input always worked.

Also after patch 0.219.13, I started getting what feels like stick drift while piloting a boat, only it sometimes drifts the steering to the right and other times to the left. This also only occurs when the controller is connected.

[keen dock]

Here's a video of the issue I described, it's not as clear as it is on hardware but it might give some insight

[stark meadow]

You would have to delete TexCache files found in worlds_local folder for that world, if you want the map to update.

[stark meadow]

Which OS? Vulkan or d3d11?

[keen dock]

Fedora Linux, Vulkan since I'm using an AMD card

Game's being run through proton 9.0-3

[stark meadow]

Steam overlay disabled or enabled for Valheim as well as in general?

[keen dock]

Overlay's disabled for valheim specifically, I usually use it for the FPS counter

Somewhat familiar with the goofy things it gets up to sometimes though, wouldn't surprise me if it was the culprit somehow

[oak yarrow]

you can spam click a stone ovens bake item selection while its baking and get xp for it without using extra platters. I am doing this with a honey glazed chicken fyi.

[stark meadow]

That's probably the issue then. Steam has some bugs on Linux related to Steam overlay that cause stuttering. Not sure if it affects games specifically made on Unity 2022.
Enabling Steam overlay should resolve the issue.

[keen dock]

That's crazy man, don't think I would've ever guessed disabling it caused issues 🤣

[exotic niche]

can someone join my server please

[keen dock]

Thank you for the advice, I'll test it

[exotic niche]

can someone join my server im on day 30 and i have black metal tools

i hate playing alone

[oak yarrow]

you do have to have the ingrediants to put in the oven however

[stark meadow]

It's a known issue. Other food processing units are affected as well. You can check known issues at valheim.com/support

[stark meadow]

Thanks. We found some reproduction steps for Linux, so the issue is already being looked at, but having some reprosteps for both OS is nice.

[gentle fiber]

i noticed that similar to when you can spam click and insert "too much" ore/coal into a smelter, you can also insert more than 4 oven items in the oven at once. The issue is you only get 4 back even if you put 5-6 inside the oven

[stiff citrus]

is anyone else have issue placing craft tables after the latest BW patch.. especially out in the open worls i struggle to fidn a spot I can build a workbench to put up a portal ? and in my base i was trying to rearrange some crafting statiosn and it as difficult to find anywhere they "liked"

[stiff citrus]

glad to join a new world ... send me a DM with server details

wont even place in clear areas close to the forge??

[stark meadow]

It's too far from the forge. Bellows has to be close than other items.

[balmy garnet]

also too close to the anvils

[stark meadow]

No such issues have been reported. Use a hoe to flatten the ground.

[bright coral]

Why running with Proton instead of using the Linux build, BTW? Just curious

[keen dock]

Instantly crashes upon loading into the world

Worked fine a few days ago and then it started acting as such

[stark meadow]

Were you alt-tabbing during world load? We have more crash reports from Linux users after Bog Witch update. I don't have any issues on my Linux Mint.
Best to not send any input during world loading/generating.

[keen dock]

I've tried leaving it entirely as-is and also messing with it as much as I can, still behaves the same unfortunately

Tried reinstalling thrice and I've verified the game files numerous times, but no dice

[stark meadow]

Still running Fedora 40? It had a known mono/unity related crash on world loading.
https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng/issues/1708#issuecomment-2045411409

[keen dock]

Nobara 40, basically the same but might have minor differences

It's fedora-based but you probably know that

[stiff citrus]

i moved it all around ... it used to work closer to the stations and not collide with every item 🤔 eventually got them all to fit but took me 40 min to rearrange it and its not as good as before ... something changed ... and out in the mistland s I have torubel finding a spot to put a workbench .. eveywhere it turns red ??

[bright coral]

Good find. Looks like Iron Gate is tracking it as https://view.monday.com/boards/4511671930/pulses/6545791106 (maybe you created the ticket, MaCarBre?)
If you can find a way to replace Nobara's zlib-ng package with version 2.2.1 or higher, that might fix it for you, @keen dock.
Worked for this Valheimer: https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng/issues/1708#issuecomment-2084023629

[keen dock]

I'm fairly sure nobara has a package manager, might be able to find it there

[bright coral]

Unity applied the fix in their version of Mono, so it should be available in Unity LTS 2022.3.40 and newer.
https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/linux-crash-on-libc-free-when-closing-stream-reader-which-reads-file-content-from-a-zip-file

[quasi glacier]

when boss 7 does that little ground on fire attack you can get stuck between his head and the ground cuz of the hitbox and you cant move

and thats kinda unfair imo cuz its just a death sentence if youre tryna get melee attacks in

[gilded sluice]

we use 2022.03.50 tho 🤔

Initialize engine version: 2022.3.50f1

[bright coral]

Then I guess my question for @keen dock is whether it's been observed after Bog Witch was officially released. If so, perhaps just coincidence being on a Fedora 40-like OS and it's a different crash.

[keen dock]

Could be

[bitter river]

I was fighting Moder and died to a stone golem that snuck up behind me. I exited the world annoyed but jumped back in not 30 seconds later and it respawned me next to the grave. I don't remember if I saved right after/on death but I know my bed and world spawn were quite a bit away

[keen dock]

Nobara is very close to straight fedora, just with certain tweaks for game compatibility and performance, so it shouldn't be causing issues by itself at least

[keen dock]

It didn't start happening immediately after the update was applied, but it's definitely post-update

[bright coral]

Alrighty. Assuming Unity's release notes are correct, could be unrelated crash then. I'm also assuming you're not supplying your own Mono build for debugging/modding.

[keen dock]

Nothing of the sort, I'm just an average joe haha

[barren dragon]

I found a bug (I think) that gives you free cooking skill xp
you need 2 things for it:
-anything that goes in an oven (like bread dough)
-an oven

You fill the oven with the cookables then spam E on the oven and it generates cooking skill xp, as long as you have a cookable in your inventory

here is an example of how it works:

[gilded sluice]

yup. known bug

[ancient path]

Is anyone seeing an issue with the cultivator where it no longer respects land height like the hoe?

[queen inlet]

I just upgraded the arbalest from 1 to 2 and I still have the materials used to upgrade

[rugged raft]

Does anyone have Greydwarf bodies that don't drop or despawn? Loxes are going nuts on it.

[gilded sluice]

how you mean?
it's not suppose flatten ground 🤔 just "paint" with whatever brush your using

[gilded sluice]

do you have any mods?
mine just used the materials for upgrade as it should do

[gilded sluice]

no. do you also use any mods?

[steel ibex]

Do you also know about this with the basic wooden Cooking Station? If not lit, it can be spammed if you have food in the inventory, and it also levels the Cooking skill.

I suppose it doesn't check if anything actually gets placed on the Cooking Station, but acts as if it did.

[haughty bough]

Caldron bug? My caldron is working without a fire underneath it. I placed it about 4m from a Hearth
Has anyone else noticed this?
I've tested it out : if you place fire then a caldron on it. Then delete them both and only replace the caldron it still works (as if there was a fire under it)
Can anyone verify this...??? put a fire down with a caldron on top anywhere like outside, delete them both. Then just build the caldron (in the same place) and it works without the fire underneath

[tender vault]

Crafting bug I just crafted two iron axes somehow and it only used materials of one

[gilded sluice]

yup. known bug

it's fixed in the next patch

[queen inlet]

I do not. Ive never seen this bug before though.

The game was stuttering when it happened. Server issue?

[gilded sluice]

could be server issue. could be the ashlands music sounds issue (also happens on bog witch location)

if someone in your playgroup/playsession uses mods. you can be affected

send me your player.log file and I can look for wierd stuff

it might related to a issue we have with the crafting skill tweaks

[steel ibex]

I can verify this. The required fire effect, to use the cauldron or cook on a Cooking Station, remains even after the destruction of the fire source. It also cooks the meats like it usually does.
Edit: Strangely it even cooks the item in the rain without roof. Even after breaking the cooking station, and then replacing it again keeps the fire source effect. (Relogging in to the world doesn't make it disappear)

[cloud minnow]

fx_candle_on and fx_candle_off are misaligned from the model, 0.1m too far to the left

[haughty bough]

I've found relogging into the world does make the fire disappear

[steel ibex]

I re-logged twice and it's still there for me. (just checked)

[haughty bough]

I've done this a few times turned off all mods pure vanilla, and after re-logging the fire disappears. Are you on vanilla steam?

[steel ibex]

Vanilla, steam. Game restart solved it

[haughty bough]

so it did reset after a log in.. that's what i've got happeneong

[steel ibex]

Yeah I meant relogging as in you have a "Log Out" option above "Quit"

[haughty bough]

Ah I was quiting the game, so I guess that resets it

Still a small bug though

@gilded sluice Cauldron/fire bug. Something I noticed and have tested it on steam vanilla no mods/bepinex (solo game no server).
If you build a fire then delete it, you can still build a working caldron on the same place. If you quit the game catches up and the cauldron is no longer working...
Just thought i'd mention it and thanks for all the updates

[stark meadow]

It's the same issue as stations continuing to burn when campfire depleats

Same issue in terms of there being one fix that fixes both issues.

[haughty bough]

Okay, glad to hear this has been noticed 😎

[hushed snow]

I apparently generated my Live (vanilla, Steam) world just before the Bog Witch was released to Live. Everyone assured everyone else that she would show up in existing worlds.

Completed a very long, very boring, very dangerous radial search of swamps for the Bog Witch, with no luck. Find returns "Found 0 objects containing 'bogwitch'..

Tried to force the new trader into my world per YouTube™ Video: Get BOG WITCH in OLD WORLDS! | No Mods (Valheim How To) , " Locate command returns "Missing location:bogwitch_camp".

--
Update: Tried moving the character to a newly generated world, and she still doesn't show up in a Find or Locate.

Cruising along in my Karve, when I suddenly fell through the water. Found myself in the air, with the boat tumbling end over end and taking damage. Karve was destroyed, but I took no damage, landed close to shore of Black Forest. Found a giant hole in the terrain. Minutes later, the missing terrain appeared. I've now seen this about a dozen more times, fell into one additional hole. Seems to only happen over water.

[ashen coral]

Spamming e on an active cooking station gives cooking exp, probably not intended nor gamebreaking but I was able to level pretty fast during early game by just spamming on my keyboard.

[broken geyser]

Can we get the game programming to a point where server desync doesn't exist? It is ridiculous the amount of desync that is happening across multiple servers. It is a game issue at the coding level that needs fixed.

[gilded sluice]

What game version does the game say you have in the main menu?

[hushed snow]

0.218.21 (n-31) No mods.

[stark meadow]

PC specs? SSD or HDD? Game installed on RAID?

You should also double check that your installation folder is clean.
You should not have any files other than these:

My install folder matches the image.

[stark meadow]

0.218.21 game version that you are playing on doesn't feature Bog Witch update. You would have to update to the new version of the game.
However when it comes to "hole in terrain" issue, that is a separate issue you basically have due to playing on a slow system.

[hushed snow]

I sort of expected it to update to latest automatically.

[stark meadow]

Valheim doesn't update itself. Depending on which installed you used, that app has to update it.

Playing on Steam? When you right click on Valheim is Steam library and go to → Properties → BETA → which game version do you have selected there?

[hushed snow]

default_old-previous stable

[hushed snow]

Steam Valheim updates is set to Always keep this game updated.

[stark meadow]

The game will never update because you have specified the game to not update by selecting an older version of the game.
You have to choose "None" from the BETA list

[hushed snow]

Ok, didn't know that was there. I'll see what happens.

[hushed snow]

Ok, updated to 0.219.14.

[tough drum]

Guys, is the Xbox controller still moving on its own when playing on Steam? mine has improved a little, but it still messes up, I wanted to know if I reinstall the game or if they didn't fix everything anyway

[stark meadow]

Some older controller still have issues becaouse deadzones are too low. Will be fixed on next patch.

[gilded sluice]

Just as expected. Good luck finding the bog witch now

[hushed snow]

I get POS for her now, but she isn't actually on the map in any of those places.

[gilded sluice]

not?

🤔

[hushed snow]

I can use Gaming with Kisti's Location method to force her onto the map, but the hut has no entrance, and the Witch won't interact with me in any way.

[gilded sluice]

hut has no entrance?

I have no idea how kirstis method works to be honest

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRRwsYU7OEY

this video?

oh god

shes wrong 😄

but how can you not go into the hut?

is the entrance blocked?

[hushed snow]

yes.

[gilded sluice]

don't spawn the bog witch with the command. even tho Kirsti does it correctly.
she shows it wierdly

[stark meadow]

After you use find command to find the bogwitch_camp, and you go there, do you see a hole in the terrain?

[gilded sluice]

Hm.. looks wierd

[stark meadow]

Think you might have spawned the hut multiple times there.

[gilded sluice]

yeah. looks like multiples

[hushed snow]

POS has three coordinates, but goto has two. How do I port to the locations?

[stark meadow]

Best to load a backup first, and stop with what you are doing.

[hushed snow]

Is there a fix? I'm probaby going to have to start over, anyway.

[stark meadow]

You need a pre-Bog Witch backup, restored via manage saves menu, the backup should be named worldname_backup-timestamp where the timestamp should be the moment you switched from "default_old" in BETA to "None"

[gilded sluice]

there are multiple ways to fix it 😄

restoring a backup is the easiest tho

[stark meadow]

After you get a backup restored and start a world, you should see a world generation screen, that means you world is being populated with potential locations. After you get in a world, use that find "bogwitch_camp 10" command, enable debugmode, and then open map and you should see those location marked on the map. Hold CTRL and press mouse middle click on one of those map markers. Wait unitil the game fully loads the areas, which on your system might take a while.

[hushed snow]

Why doesn't the Witch spawn into the map after the update without having to force the spawn?

[stark meadow]

It does. You just haven't went to one such location properly and instead decided to spawn her, which automatically disabled her spawning in naturally.

Do the steps I mentioned, and let me know on which step they fail.

[hushed snow]

Manage Saves is in Steam, or game menu?

[stark meadow]

In-game manage saves button, worlds tab, expand backup list for your world, find the top-most aka the latest "worldname_backup-timestamp" (doesn't have the world "auto" in the name), select it, restore it.

[hushed snow]

OK, had to use an auto backup to go back far enough. Find put markers on the map, not the kettle. I ported to one, found the Witch. I'm inside, looking at the catalog. Have a kettls marker at that locations. The other markers are still on the map.

[rugged raft]

on my server I am using Server_Devcommands mod. I would like to set all players to lvl 30 riding. but I can not figure out how to even set my own lvls. any Ideas ?

[stark meadow]

Please get in touch with the community at #mods-discussion This is a channel specifically for modless game.

[rugged raft]

sorry

[tender spire]

curious if Ashlands part of loading screen is suppose Not be there now? It was?

[gilded sluice]

It's not suppose to say ashlands no

[tender spire]

oksy, thanks was concerned

[latent tulip]

is slowdown and freezing when approaching the Bog Witch's hut a known issue?

[karmic tree]

Found a bug that when you have a full oven (I found this with bread) and spam the "use item" button, you gain cooking XP

idk if patched

[gilded sluice]

not patched but known

[karmic tree]

Alr thx

[queen inlet]

is it a known bug where sealed tower doesnt spawn? were at the location but its not here

post ashlands world.

[marble wolf]

Probably just moved.

[queen inlet]

ok, are the other marked locations also going to be false?

bc we found smouldering tomb & howling cavern just fine

[marble wolf]

If the game has updated between the markers going down and now, there's a good chance.

[queen inlet]

yeah

[wispy geode]

Is Valheim crashing anyones PCs since latest update? Ive verified files and updated graphics drivers and its still happening?

[gaunt mist]

Have you used mods in your game?

[wispy geode]

nahh

[stark meadow]

Which OS? Which specs?

[gilded sluice]

did you use to run mods?

[wispy geode]

Nope

[wispy geode]

Windows 10, i9-9900K, 16GB RAM, NVID GTX1070

[stark meadow]

Entire PC crashes? Black screen with sound? How many monitors? Large monitor?
Tweaked anyhting in BIOS for the CPU/RAM at any point?

[viscid dock]

Are resin candles supposed to burn down even when they're in the "off" state?

[glacial prism]

hey, can someone help me with cooking? I cant cook big meals like meat on the campfire

[viscid dock]

When you say "big meals" what do you mean? The feasts? Or big meats like asksvin tail or serpent meat?

[glacial prism]

like askvin tails and serpent meat

[viscid dock]

Do you have the iron cooking station?

[glacial prism]

before this update i was cooking these, but now i cant

[glacial prism]

yep

[viscid dock]

Hmm. OK. Thought it might be an easy suggestion. I find the iron cooking station works best over a hearth, like this:

[wispy geode]

Entire Pc crashes, no sound, 2 screens both black out, theyre like 27s i think, wouldnt even know how to change anything in bios

[glacial prism]

ooh ok i'll try this

it works, thanks man @viscid dock

[stark meadow]

If I would have to guess, I would say that your power supply started dying, just like on my system when I used two monitors.
Do you know how old is the power supply?
I would suggest playing on one monitor + limiting FPS to 60 for some time to see if crashes would reduce in frequency (if they do, it's GPU related), if they don't, then you should look into how to reset BIOS to default settings.

[wispy geode]

Yeah im pretty sure i cheaped out when it came to picking power supply so wouldnt suprse me if its just done its time. Thanks for the suggestion i'll defnitely give that a go !

[jovial charm]

Anyone else been having a bug where if you let a troll hit a copper deposit, it doesn't break the nodes?

... because I just got that this morning and all the stuff is stuck in the deposit that isn't breaking apart. xD

[stark meadow]

Can you mine the copper rock yourself?

[jovial charm]

Only the spots that weren't already broken by the troll, but they still won't "break". They exist as an entity.

[gilded sluice]

do you have any mods or previously had mods?

[jovial charm]

Pretty sure my installation is clean. I've been playing on the beta which I'm sure is now pushed to live.

[gilded sluice]

they are the same

just so I know if it's a mod causing it, or if it's worth testing for potential hours to replicate 🙂

[jovial charm]

Basically ... I let troll have first hit. It "broke" the deposit, but did not actually break the entity.

Let me see if I can reproduce this in a fresh save.

I swear ... one does not simply find a troll. The troll finds you.

So apparently it was some strange fluke with that one deposit.

Because now things are fine on this other save.

If it means anything, the one deposit in question was on top of another rock (which could be broken) along with a stone wall that was in the black forest.

[gilded sluice]

spawn troll 🤔

works quite good

was it on a dedicated server or self hosted? @jovial charm

[jovial charm]

Self hosted. I was not able to reproduce. Seems to have been a one off thing.

[gilded sluice]

could be multiple things

send me your player-prev and player files from your valheim directory

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

[jovial charm]

DMs or here?

[gilded sluice]

DM works fine

[twilit nebula]

they forgot a face on the demolisher

[acoustic idol]

Im not sure if its a bug or not but everytime you use the last bit of durability from the cultivator it always makes your character punch and break that crop if you are close enough, is there a way to stop this in game?

[jagged hamlet]

It happens when you are going too fast and click once after the cultivator breaks, because when the cultivator breaks you aren't wielding anything and so you go to bare knuckle brawling and you will punch the last thing you planted.
The only thing for it is, not clicking after the cultivator breaks, so check how much you can plant with a full cultivator and plant slightly less, go repair then and continue.

[acoustic idol]

i cant tell for certain i think i only clicked once to place the crop as i was watching the durability but i may have clicked twice

[stray flame]

You may already have heard about this bug. Since I upgraded to Caldron level 5, I am no longer weeing the recipe for Stuffed Mushrooms.

[stark meadow]

Craft a preparation table.

[tired knoll]

My buddy marked on my map table, I copied discoveries, yet his explorations are not showing up on my map.

[tired knoll]

you have a new cooking pot that makes other stuff, have you looked there?

[tired knoll]

or the new cooking table...

[iron steppe]

there is a toggle on the map to enable shared maps - make sure that is "on"

[tired knoll]

yes it's on

[valid crag]

Hello. Pike in the cauldron does not break down into raw fish? Can i do something to fix it?The raw fish icon does not even appear when the pike is in the inventory.

[marble wolf]

Use the food prep table, not the cauldron.

[autumn grail]

Any idea when they are going to fix the controller dead zone issues? I am having horrible issues in the menus still and in speedruns

[marble wolf]

As soon as they can I'd imagine. There was aleady a hotfix but it seems to be stubborn.

[autumn grail]

The hotfix did some help in the menus. But over all it is still bad on controller. I do alot of speedruns and its very noticable.

[fleet timber]

Candles melt down when not lit, is that a feature or a bug?

[marble wolf]

Bug.

[grizzled void]

erm, yellow mushrooms now float on item stands for some reasons D:

[hearty thicket]

I am having an issue that started with the bog witch beta and is till going on now in the live version where it takes me on average 10 clicks to get the build menu open. I have never used any mods before only vanilla gameplay. Is there any fix for this?

[stark meadow]

Disable right-click build selection in the Keyboard & Mouse settings.

[slender dust]

I have a lot of birds stopped near my base as shown in the figure when I'm building terrains at seashore nearby, it seems like the birds are generated during the day time & have stopped here without leaving. Is it normal?

[slender dust]

All of them fly away after I wake up from sleeping

[ancient storm]

Help my Valheim refuses to let me play online. I can join servers but after around a minute of constantly seeing the Latency Error icon I get disconnected. Happens in all servers despite my High Internet Speeds

[stark meadow]

Check if it continues to happen after the server owner disables crossplay. I can also start a test server for you. If it doesn't happen then, it's usualy NAT related (e. g. VPN), and if it doesn't happen while on crossplay server, lower steam browser pings per minute in steam setting under in-game section.

[stark meadow]

That still looks normal. Are they growing in numbers each day? e. g.
https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/s/GzNrcOobGT

[slender dust]

Didn't check about this, maybe I'll update again if the number does grow by days, thanks

[ancient storm]

Upon disabling Crossplay, the issue seems resolved, but one of the members of my group need crossplay to join us. What'd be solution? (I'm also the only one having crossplay denial issues, if that helps).

[gilded sluice]

you have someone on xbox / game pass?

[stark meadow]

Most likely you live in Egypt (goverment blocks crossplay), or have VPN installed (check by opening start → typing device manager and open → go to network adapters → find anything that has VPN in the name and uninstall it), or your Internet service provider might have to strict NAT which blocks crossplay, for which it's best to call you ISP and request from them that they remove you from CGNAT (it's usually done for free, but you have to call and request being removed from it).

[ancient storm]

Yes

[ancient storm]

I am American so I doubt it's the first one. I'll investigate the other two. Thank you very much.

[gilded sluice]

Egypt have closed data being sent to the US

Crossplay (playfab) works by sending data from your own computer / console to playfab in the US which then used NAT punchthrough (hole punching) microsoft trusted networking protocol to setup

but if some ISP's stop that since it communicates with the US.. yeah.. then it will not work

https://www.reddit.com/r/StreetFighter/comments/13xvq3e/sf6_crossplay_isnt_working/

[ancient storm]

It's likely my ISP then as I dont have a VPN. That's so weird since I usually don't have issues with matchmaking

[gilded sluice]

there are more countries with this issues

VPN works porly with crossplay tho. since it tries to communicate in ways the client / host have trouble working out.
so often, VPN and crossplay isn't working

the issue is..
Gamepass / xbox only allows for crossplay to be used for networking on their platforms

[stark meadow]

You can preform a trace route command in command prompt to check if you are behind CGNAT.
(start → cmd → type in the console window "tracert 8.8.8.8" → wait until all hops are done → check how many IP addresses start with numbers 192. 172. 10. 100.). First 192. IP is usually just the rouhte. You can also DM me the result. Here's an example of a player who was behind multiple routers: https://i.imgur.com/8Ad2ApC.jpg and also had issues with crossplay.

[ancient storm]

I'll need to do that later as I'm heading off to work soon

[gilded sluice]

pathping is usually faster @stark meadow

[stark meadow]

I assume you are playing with mods. This doesn't seem like a bug that can happen in vanilla Valheim.
This channel is vanilla only, so please go to #mods-issues

[red rain]

thank you. You are correct. I'll move it.

[ancient storm]

Some results online state that Xfinity, my ISP, doesn't use CGNAT. I found something about a double NAT? Could that be the issue?

[stark meadow]

Yeah, it could. Did you do the test I suggested?

[ancient storm]

Yes, DMing results now

[heady cloud]

The entire output is actually the route. A route is nothing more than encapsulation and forwarding between multiple subnets and routers. The 192.168.x.x address space means that it's privately managed. Your isp is doing something a bit strange for the 1st 5 hops

[twin kraken]

Anyone dealt with an orange flashing screen before? Since the update when I boot Valheim I get an orange square in the center of my screen, eventually the cursor will switch to the normal valheim sword and the title page music will start but the screen will stay black, and the orange box will flash every now and then. I've tried validating files and uninstalling. No mods or anything just vanilla

[stark meadow]

Try the short re-installation described in Section5 of this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/uq9b8x/

[twin kraken]

Worked great, thanks!

[surreal sigil]

having a issue,
when im playing with one of my friends (not on lan) whenever we try and do something like travel a small distance or chop trees, really anything we get desynced and we are unable to play because it lasts for a loong time, and does not happen for a few min after i have joined their world

[stark meadow]

Anyone playing with mods?
Does the issue only happen when you are near one person in particular?
Do they have issues on the server when you are not around?

[surreal sigil]

no mods included and it is happening when im around the other person {it happens regardless} , it does not happen when im not there,

[stark meadow]

What are you PC specs?
I would also recommend to do this test while Valheim is closed, and then again while you are on the server: https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat?
While on the server, you should also type /ping in chat to see what's your ping compared to everyone else.

[surreal sigil]

cpu is
Amd Ryzen 7 5700g
16g ram ddr4 3200mt/s
gpu NVIDIA Geforce rtx 2060 super

also its not a deticated server they are just hosting it from their pc, i think it might be on their end or a internet problem
im getting 60mbs down and up approx

[short charm]

Eitr refinery deals damage to nearby walls due to projectiles it shoots out is this a bug?

[iron steppe]

No, intended design. Use Black Matble, it won’t get damaged. Or iron gates etc.

[tender spire]

Not sure if this is right spot . I keep running into mobs spawning into rocks. Sometimes even spawners inside rock . Any idea why?

[short charm]

in which case found a bug Black marble does NOT stop projectiles from it kept having issues with a bunch of them escapeing the black marble

[short charm]

for example this is the set up... a lot of the stuff is still escaping

[iron steppe]

It looks like it’s sticking out the top? Put iron bars around or something.

I usually stick mine inside a room made of black marble.

[short charm]

shooting out of sides to should I put iron bars there as well?

[iron steppe]

yep

it shoots randomly in all directions

[high coral]

are the mistlands meant to be the biome with the least frames?

[cunning flame]

No, Ashlands are worst for many players :)

But the worst of all is mountain during snowfall

[stark meadow]

It's not so much about speed rather latency while upload and download are occurring, which is what the test is for. Which grade did you get from the test?

[gilded sluice]

is that the worst for you? 🤔

[surreal sigil]

https://www.speedtest.net

[stark meadow]

Think you might have posted a general link instead of your test results.
The test has to be done two times. Once while Valheim is closed, second time while you are on the server.
Generally everyone should do this test. I recommend doing it at: https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat, instead of the link you posted, because results are easier to interpret.

[gilded sluice]

Speedtest with package loss

👌

[stark meadow]

Too bad it doesn't generate a working link for the test you did, so that you can send to others.
There's a tweet option, but the link is broken for me.

[gilded sluice]

screenshots is your best friend 😄

[surreal sigil]

ahh ok

[stark meadow]

You can check these two examples to see why you should do the test in the manner I suggested:

ty ill update once i do them, prob wont be for a few days

[cunning flame]

When a tempest start while in mountain I will eventually drop under 1 fps (the “best” score was 1/2fps)

I imagine that it represents how my character has difficulties seeing anything and moving correctly during a difficult weather… but it is not enough to remove the unfunny “gamy effect” and the enervation against lag. Ironically I don’t have any problems in Ashlands nor Mistlands (except the particles takes time to dissipate after portal-traveling) so I suppose it is something with my computer configuration

[stark meadow]

Which GPU?

[gilded sluice]

he said previously

so something else is at play here 🤔

[cunning flame]

Didn’t said that :)

[gilded sluice]

my old 1060 GTX could handle the snowstorm without going that bad

oh

[stark meadow]

Different person

[gilded sluice]

neeevermind me 😄

[cunning flame]

U are talking to the wrong guy yes 🙂

[gilded sluice]

so give us hardware config 🙂

[stark meadow]

@cunning flame I'm guessing AMD 6600XT or 6700XT

[cunning flame]

Don’t have the config in mind right now but its nvidia and something good

[cunning flame]

Leave me 15min eating before checking that

I have to refill my heal and stamina

[stark meadow]

If it's something good, it shouldn't have issues, and if it does, it's probably overheating in that instance.
Definitely download HWiNFO and open up sensors, check MAX temps for GPU, trigger blizzard and after performance drop, check max temps.

I have 8 years old 1070 that doesn't have any issues rendering snow storm.

[gilded sluice]

my 2015 1060 can handle snowstorm with more than 1/2 FPS so.. 🤔

it's something worth looking into why

[cunning flame]

1/2 it was a record, usually higher

also, OS is Linux mint, dunno if it change anything but I don't think the problem came from here

[gilded sluice]

the OS shouldn't matter 🤔

[cunning flame]

Now I have my computer

wait 5sec

[gilded sluice]

CTRL+L-shift+ESC -> performance tab

usually shows all you want to know without any external programs

[cunning flame]

I'm learning how my computer work, I don't have these shortcuts (windows only I believe)

never needed these info for months xD

ok now you have time, I am disturbed by real-life events...

the best day to talk of config 😅

[gilded sluice]

oh right. linux

https://medium.com/technology-hits/basic-linux-commands-to-check-hardware-and-system-information-62a4436d40db

$ lscpu
seems to do the job?

[cunning flame]

okay stop wainting for me

definitely unaviable now

[last solstice]

so uhm im having a pretty bad problem

when i was falling asleep in valheim i pressed space bar a couple of times and when i woke up i just fell of the map, so i restarted the game and the i thought everything was fixed, but then i couln't move except i could jump and then i was just sliding in my house

then i went back in backups and it still does that

i even made a new character and it does that

aka i can't do anything in my world anymore

so does anyone know a fix for that

?

or is my world cooked

been playing in that world for 62 hours with my friends so i am not going to make a new world unless if i really have to

[last solstice]

alr i made a test world and i have the same bug in the new world

we good i deleted and downloaded valheim and now it works🙃

[surreal sigil]

did a packet check with my modem and i’m losing around 30-50% oml i need to get on a wired connection

[bright coral]

There have been a few complaints about ZRpc timeouts from the Linux dedicated server in #dedicated-server lately, with some users showing no such problems after switching to running the Windows server under Wine on the same computer.

I was thinking it's possible the bundled Steamworks libs were out of date in the Linux depots, assuming the server uses the Steam networking lib. I won't have time to dig deeper until the weekend. If a dev has insight, would be welcome.

[smoky mantle]

im having an issue with the unity engine crashing my game. is there a fix?

[gilded sluice]

remove mods

validate game files

[smoky mantle]

ok ill check im just getting back on the game, has been over a year.

[slow lagoon]

Anyone have issues where the boat will turn all the way left, or all the way right? It won't let me steer normally.

[stark meadow]

Using gamepad? Then it's a known issue, should be fixed in a day or two, or less, for the public beta version at least.

[slow lagoon]

no, mouse and keyboard

[stark meadow]

No gamepad plugged/connected to the PC? Using mods?

[slow lagoon]

I unplugged my controllers in case they were causing the issue, not using mods

I can try reloading my game.

[gilded sluice]

unclick the setting ingame?

if you got a space sim game for example, it can act as a "build in software gamepad" 🙂

[turbid delta]

i somehow bugged the elder into standing still and not doing anything at all lol

[gilded sluice]

you placed him on a floor?

[turbid delta]

i just kept kiting him in the middle of the woods , and he somehow just got stuck and just stood still while i can keep shooting

[gilded sluice]

did you drag him a long way from his spawn?

or did he just get stuck between trees and become confused? 😄
