[turbid delta]

this i think

[gilded sluice]

can't find the player for all the trees 😄

[turbid delta]

but he literally stood still, i moved abit and no reaction, only after his hp is down to like 10% i went close and he started attacking again

[gilded sluice]

funky 🤔

[turbid delta]

yeah forgot to capture a video but thought ill post about it

[gilded sluice]

so what hardware you got? 🙂

[limpid badge]

I've got an apparent server incompatibility issue. When I run the dedicated server's (PC) update commandline ("C:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe" +login anonymous +app_update 896660 -beta none +quit) it doesn't think there's any updates. The server is on version 0.218.15 but the latest (Steam) client version is 0.219.16 ... so my players can't play.

Is it because the game's Steam appID is actually 892970 while my update script is pulling 896660? That's always worked in the past.

Update: Changed my update script and that seems to have worked.

"C:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe" +login anonymous +force_install_dir C:\Valheim +app_update 896660 validate +exit

Actually it fussed at me for using force_install_dir after the login, so here's a better commandline:

"C:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe" +force_install_dir C:\Valheim +login anonymous +app_update 896660 validate +exit

Hope you have all you need.
The Quadro is turned off because I don't need performances right now, but when I launch a game like Valheim I turn it on of course.

Anyway, don't know who is in charge of compatibility but thanks him/her for the job : being able to play good games without need to "tinker" a bit each time is a precious gift 🙂

[real socket]

Same thing happened to me

[muted jackal]

Hello, testing random stuff for wiki and find out you cannot use any of the ||fireworks|| on the hearth.

[cunning flame]

normal, you need to put them on any fire

bonefire, firecamp, etc

didn't tested with the fire at Elder altar but I suppose it work even here :)

[muted jackal]

Hearth is a pit of fire, no reason why it shouldn't work

[cunning flame]

My bad, I read Earth
Sorry, bad english and tired brain

[gilded sluice]

the Quadro card is probably your issue.
Those are not for any kind of gaming either, mostly work related things 😢

[cunning flame]

Ah, indeed I hadn’t payed enough attention regarding to that when checking requirements

That still funny snowfall makes it worse than Ashlands, while everyone seems to suffer the opposite x)

[muted jackal]

Are bugs like these okay to leave here or should they be posted on another channel or the support site?

[gilded sluice]

It's pretty much your GPU isn't designed for that kind of frame calculation and shaders 😦

[potent stream]

found a bug lol

used a wooden portal placed under lava

now im smoking permanently

and there are heatwaves in the corners of my screen

[cunning flame]

And there from his meeting with the lava
By his fusion in the ground most pure power
He became the one known as The Burning Fighter
Who is feared event by the smouldering Brenna

For ages, with our people he dwelt,
Never feeling the heat,
The burning ring of his belt,
Nor the fire on his helmet.

Joining battle with his steaming chest,
Fighting the gjalls, leading the charge.
Forsaken fells, for he burned in rage.
Nothing could give his fire-soul rest.

Until came Smiffe the god of our gods,
From the pantheon that forged the 10th world.
He got some sights of the unexpected
And by his hand soon the legend ended.
-# – Legend of the Burning Fighter, poem of the 6th tribe of Valheim.

[dusky lion]

Anyone noticing items being placed under the ground more frequently this patch, e.g. metals vanishing? First run 7 metal bars went missing, second run a box ended up in the water despite there being land there. only reason it shows is because a water wave is letting it show. it later popped up properly, had to look at the replay to see this. Was searching for bronze nails for a good 10 minutes x) no mods.

[gilded sluice]

this patch?
do you mean the current live patch, or the PTB?

[dusky lion]

Live patch

[gentle spade]

twice now I've upgraded my armor and it's not taken the resources

obviously sounds good but I'm not a fan of free stuff like that

[stark meadow]

It's fixed already on Public beta patch

[stark meadow]

Looks like a mod issue. Using any?

[gentle spade]

oh is this what it says on the steam meaning bonus yield?

I assumed that mean people were crafting armors and getting 2 of them, not that it wasn't taking resources

[dusky lion]

nope, vanilla

[stark meadow]

Now fixed bug was responsible for upgrade bonuses as well.

[native lodge]

Equipped fishing baits do not stack in a container (when holding E or clicking Place Stacks button).

[minor isle]

is being able to spam e on a full cooking station with meat in your inventory to rapidly level up your cooking skill supposed to happen or unintentional

[short charm]

Just found the Bog Witch but plains pie picnic not showing in recipe's despite having met all requirements to craft it

[lucid geyser]

Fixed in PTB

[lucid geyser]

Had no issues with this on v0.219.14.

Show me your inventory with all 4 ingredients.

[gilded sluice]

you need to be 1 level above to unlock

[short charm]

I'm on current patch atm so maybe fixed in PTB? But for now No bueno.

[stark meadow]

Defeated Yagluth?

[short charm]

so a level 2 Food preperation station?

[short charm]

No. do you need too for it?

[stark meadow]

Yes, you do.

[gilded sluice]

no no. you need to kill the same boss to unlock that level feast

[short charm]

Aaaahhhh.. Thanks smiffe, & macabre,

[tawny ingot]

found a bug where going through a portal, if u spam a food item, itll use it and youll still have the same amount, meaning basically unlimited food.

[short charm]

Is it a bug that when crafting arrows at X20 that if the crafting skill activates you only get X21 Instead of a doubled X40?

[tropic torrent]

sadly not.

[short charm]

thats horrible, wish they would get rid of it for arrows then in which case I'm a bit ocd and hate having uneven stacks of arrows

[tropic torrent]

same. It's even worse for food.

I collect just enough mats to make the food i need, and just enough for full stacks of food, then cooking and farming skills mess it up.

[pure sail]

im having a failed to connect bug anyone know how to fix it?

[iron steppe]

Check your server/client versions, and check your mod versions (if any)

[dusty salmon]

I'm getting more advanced raids than I should on my single player world where only Eikthyr has been killed. I've gotten surtling and the troll raids. I am on an old character from another playthrough, but I don't have the player-based raids modifier turned on, so this shouldn't matter, right?

[gilded sluice]

Yeah I agree 🤔
21 makes no sense IMHO

[cunning flame]

Think crafting skill really need rework

[marble wolf]

Nah, just a tweak or two.

[blissful coral]

hi i tried to start valheim today but i have just this screen. i already reinstalled it a few times but its still here

[stark meadow]

Check on how to prefrom a clean installation (link the pinner comment, and then look at Secton5).

[brazen wraith]

I can't produce a mead for troll strength even though I have the resources. I think it's because I have one "quality one" troll fish and another "quality two" troll fish

[toxic river]

correct, since higher tiered fish are worth more raw fish than t1 fish, the potion recipes can only use t1 fish

i believe that's intended behavior

[brazen wraith]

it doesn't specify that anywhere

but i'll roll with it

[gilded sluice]

did you solve it?

[short charm]

This response is outright incorrect as I have just used higher tier fish for potions

[toxic river]

Ah, apologies, after very quickly testing it does seem like it will only count fish of the same tier for the requirements. Oddly enough, it will then mix tiers freely when actually crafting

[short charm]

No worries, Systems just a bit "Quirky" is all.

[urban quartz]

Hello, in my game on Steam, I have gotten the carrot seeds and bronze plates, I have unlocked the level 3 forge but I don't get the cultivator's revette. am I missing something?
created the world 5 days ago

[balmy garnet]

have you discovered core wood yet? it drops from pine trees in the black forest, not to be confused with fir trees

[civic atlas]

is there any known bug where a friend you play with one day can't connect to a server you been playing in for a bit? Keeps saying failed to connect for him. All vanilla same version and i host the sever with the start sever option.

[stark meadow]

If all of your teammates are on Steam, disable crossplay before starting the server.

[civic atlas]

i never activated that option

[south lance]

Cauldron is functioning despite hearth is off. Vanilla, live 0.219.14 version. Coop server

[fervent magnet]

Bog Witch spawned 50 meters in the air, it was a server I created to check out the new update

[urban quartz]

this?

[agile lodge]

none of those

their seeds look like pine cones

[balmy garnet]

this, it's required for the cultivator

[gilded sluice]

there is a known issue even on the PTB that this can happen in multiplayer. but it's very specific conditions 🤔

[blissful coral]

Yes it worked

[gilded sluice]

good good

[urban quartz]

Oh okey , thaks for help

[cunning flame]

I have a Haldor flying 1 meter above the ground, and one of my friend has a Haldor half-buried.
Is there a way to replace them ?
(The structure in itself is correctly generated, just the trader learned meditation method to fly xD)

[toxic river]

Haldor just be like that

that's been a thing since forever ago, probably just a low priority to be fixed~

[solar thistle]

I getting a bug where I open the inventory or build menu the cursor does not rest to the center of the screen. It is very annoying 😦

[low nexus]

Hi, a player on my server is having an issue where they just stand on top of their bed rather than sleeping in it, they also cant interact with ships, and now do not respawn at their bed. they have tried claiming a new bed, verifying files once, and still has not fixed. help please

[sick orbit]

Hello there, How can I send a translation question ?

I don't know if this site is officiel and sure? https://valheim-modding.github.io/Jotunn/data/localization/translations/French.html

[stark meadow]

No, it's not.
This is official site where you can report it: https://valheim.com/support
Be sure to click on translation errors tab

[stark meadow]

Playing with mods? Tell them to try unplugging the gamepad if they are playing with keyboard and mouse.

[sick orbit]

Okay cause I notice an error from this site, and it says that it is automatically listed thanks to a mod. So I just wanted to inform that if it's true and if the sheet from the site is not handwritten, there's an error in the game

[stark meadow]

On which OS are you playing?

[low nexus]

no mods, and i saw a thing saying to disable controller, i dont think he keeps one plugged in though.

[latent dust]

Did u figure it out how to deal with it or fix it

[stark meadow]

Restarting the game should be enough.

[mortal hamlet]

BUG!!!!! turned off resin candles after rejoining on save ale turned on

[solar thistle]

It fixed itself had to restart the computer itself

[hushed tinsel]

Anyone else has problems with mouse input stop working while playing Valheim? I have to unplug-plug to make it work again (mouse lights are still on and PC recognizes mouse when bug happens I think so that's weird). I've noticed it's only when playing Valheim and I think alt tabbing might cause it but I'm not sure, it looks so random.

[stark meadow]

Which OS?

[hushed tinsel]

Windows 11

[dark rover]

wat

[stark meadow]

Except mouse and keyboard, do you have any other input devices plugged in?
Your mouse issue could be related to recent updates for Windows 11. Reportedly it broke mouse behaviour for many users.
Although if you are using a wireless mouse, it's probably just losing connection while playing Valheim due to game using more power than you previous games.

[hushed tinsel]

Only mouse and keyboard + headshet with mic included, all of them are wired

[boreal dock]

i got stuck in fader and died, i think after he kinda stands on his hind legs than goes down you can get stuck in the middle of his hitbox and you have to roll a couple of times to get unstuck

[gilded sluice]

that has been fixed in the PTB

[sick orbit]

I just wanted to update this : The JVL community told me their sheet was automaticaly reported so there's currently a translation problem in the french data files I just noticed to Iron Gate 😄

[weak steppe]

Hello someone know where is the CrashLogfile pls

[gilded sluice]

why you need it?

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

is where most stuff are

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

or here

[weak steppe]

I m facing some crash when i reach a special location (i play with mods)
And i Wonder what s make me crash at this spot..

[gilded sluice]

ah

[weak steppe]

I tried to kill all and go to the place but it dont work

I ll take a look tomorrow in the log file thanks Smiffe

[marble wolf]

Probably the mod.

[gilded sluice]

oh it's mods related. but which one and why

[rare dock]

Using big picture mode and using the steam keyboard for signs or portals breaks the game

[weak steppe]

I found them name for example valheim.exe.18716 in the crashdumbs folder(in Local).
But when i open one of them it s unreadable ( stange character etc)
Any informations about that pls

[gilded sluice]

there are programs that can translate crashdump files

[weak steppe]

do u have one to promote ?

[gilded sluice]

sadly no

but I usually find the player.log file better than crash dump files

[weak steppe]

with the player log i crashed when a couple of mob spawner but when i spawned them with command i don t crashed, so i guess this is when i generated Force generating hmap (256.00, 0.00, 5888.00) , because in the old and recent playerLog i crashed at this moment

[weak steppe]

It look like i fixed the crash thanks for the help smiffe (PS Valheim is banger ❤️ )

[stark meadow]

Try it now after the patch.

[rare dock]

It happened yesterday

I don't think it's valheims fault it's probably steam

[stark meadow]

We had some issue with virtual keyboards, which have been fixed on the patch released 1.5 hours ago.

[gilded sluice]

#valheim-patchnotes message

try it now. we patched 😄

[dawn epoch]

After picking up the two bows from a stand, i got this bug. Cant do anything with them, they are just stuck and after some time they drop off when running 😂

Also you cant press "e" to pick them up and get them in inventory

[bright coral]

Just a note on the patchnotes, the bug affecting anonymous app update was not Linux-specific. Affected macOS and Windows depots as well.
https://www.valheimgame.com/news/patch-0-219-16

[gilded sluice]

are they spawned in or?

[dawn epoch]

No

I placed them on a stand a long time ago, decided to change the position and then i cant pick them up anymore

If you want to take a look at it, i got a server hosted

Let me know

[gilded sluice]

did it take. like exactly 30 seconds between dropping and you could pick them up?

sometimes, items becomes wierd when people log out and it takes up to 30 seconds for the game to "unlock" things

[dawn epoch]

I can test now and count

So in my test it looks like when i start jumping, the bow just drops off. Its just stuck to my character

If i just stand, it wont go away. Its like floating kinda

[jaunty steppe]

Cannot deconstruct built items anymore

[dawn epoch]

This is my first time experiencing this bug. It don't bother me, and it might be a rare bug that don't need bug fixing

[stark meadow]

Using mods? Can you deconstruct items in single-player? If not, try resetting controls first.

[stark meadow]

This can happen due to network issues. Hard to guess if related to server, the area you were in, or your connection, in cases when you are the only one on the server.

[dawn epoch]

So this is a server that im hosting from a Norwegian provider, might be a server side issue

But its not a big deal. As long no one else is experiencing this, its all fine

[modest cosmos]

I’ve been struggling with the vine berries we can plant. I just played 2 hours in game and got 12 berries, wow. Something defiantly wrong here. I planted them facing the south thought they would need sunlight directly which they get every single day. Doesn’t seem to matter…. What am I doing wrong?

[marble wolf]

Sounds like they're working OK.

[modest cosmos]

seriously? I don’t know how I can make the good food with 12 berries

[marble wolf]

Plant more vines.

[modest cosmos]

I have like 47 vines lol

[marble wolf]

Oh, then that'll grow much more over time.

[modest cosmos]

I kept making more and more because I thought they took a while but wow they seem awful slow

[toxic girder]

Askvin Cape bug: Hmmmm I've been testing this for 30 min and the cape doesn't give bonus speed in the wind anymore!
(Same time running from point A to point B in the wind and against the wind)

[modest cosmos]

Also the berries get deleted when you log out, I thought that was gonna be fixed a while back but still an issue. Seems like maybe the timer gets reset also so then it just takes so long to grow them if that’s the case

[stark meadow]

It does, but deliberaty not as much as before

[jaunty steppe]

I tried with and without mods and playing solo

[stark meadow]

What do you mean by playing solo?

Having the same issue in singleplayer or being alone on the server?

[jaunty steppe]

single player. I even created a new seed to see if the problem persisted

[stark meadow]

Then you still have a mod problem.
Check the pinned guide on how to do a proper clen installation.

Did you try binding your deconstruct action on the other key just in case you middle mouse button stopped working?

[jaunty steppe]

I will try that the reminding the button

[jaunty steppe]

Reassigned the deconstruct and it worked! tyvm

[stark meadow]

Is your middle mouse button registered on this site?
https://cpstest.io/mouse-test

[olive iris]

Anyone else experiencing this bug? I have a charcoal kiln that takes wood but deletes it instead of making charcoal out of it. Also I can't destroy it by any means.

[stark meadow]

server has to be restarted to fix it

[olive iris]

Ah, okay, thanks.

[jaunty steppe]

I will definitely check tomorrow, it was just weird because it worked until a recent patch/update

[iron steppe]

Bosses shouldnt spawn in trees.... 🙂

He refused to come down and didnt move - so I just killed him with a spear

But a spawn collision check is probably needed... the white dots were leading to the tree for the spawn i.e. it wasnt him trying to spawn on the ground and he ended up in the tree - the game decided he was spawning up there.

[cunning flame]

He is just afraid of you

[gilded sluice]

COME DOWN EIKTHYR!

• no I won't

[gaunt mist]

O' Eikthyr in the tree, what is your wisdom?

[tidal nexus]

Fuling Village Guard Tower spawned inside the Stone Pillar. I guess I am just dodging their spear throws and ignoring them...

[rare dock]

Can ya'll fix the playfab couldn't load thing on steam deck so I can play crossplay

[jagged hamlet]

That's quitting talk, destroy that pillar and murk that fulling!

[tidal nexus]

If only I could be bothered... But I got the resources I needed from that village, and got them to waste the tar blobs from the pit nearby, so I am just going to leave them there

[jagged hamlet]

You are letting that fulling win, don't do it, they will think they can just hide from you in stone and they'll keep doing it.

[stark meadow]

How old is what world?

[stark meadow]

We are waiting for Steam to make few adjustments.
Meanwhile you can enable proton compatibility mode for Valheim in its steam library properties, which will allow you to use crossplay.
Be sure to wait for entire proton compatibility tools to be installed completely before playing.
Run the game in Vulkan after for performance.

[hardy oyster]

not sure if this is a bug but i can't make the mead base... do i have to have 2 identical graded fishes?

[tidal nexus]

Created it recently to play with the Bog Witch and Ashlands updates, maybe a couple of weeks old?

[limpid oasis]

Hey! This Dverg Excavation Site was fulled by Dvergs. When the Dvergs died I mined the Giant Remains and the Black Marble that I couldn't pick up, was in the hole. I placed a portal inside the zone too, breaking the Ward.

The ingame day after that, my portal was disconnected, so I went to the site to see what happened and, after fighting against some seekers, I found that my materials disappeared.

Before report the bug I asked to my friend if he took the materials, since I'm playing in Coop, but no, my portal materials and the remaining Black Marble just disappear.

I play vanilla server, without any mod.

[stark meadow]

Do you know the seed and location of this?

[tidal nexus]

Seed is:
jjWzTPhwz0
Location is approx 3330,-331 (as per the Valheim World Generator)
Doubt they would have any bearing on this, but I play with the following mods: Advize_PlantEasily, AzuCraftyBoxes,MyLittleUI, and SmartContainers

[stark meadow]

So what happened with the portal, was still there just disconnected?

[limpid oasis]

Yes. It disconnected and the materials to rebuild it disappeared

[stark meadow]

So when you arrived at location, neither portal was there, nor were portal materials?

Generally when we say portal disconnected, it means that portal is still standing, just that it doesn't have an active connection to another portal

[limpid oasis]

Yes. I thought the seekers I found in the zone could break it, but when I defeat them, I couldn't find the materials to rebuild it

I'll double check again just in case

There're only sap that I collected and the materials dropped by the Seekers

[stark meadow]

What probably happened is that portal got destroyed when the last person was leaving the scene.
All items in Valheim despawn after 1h of gamplay if no other player base building element is near the items.

[limpid oasis]

Oh, gotcha. Thanks!

[balmy sigil]

I reported a couple of date ago a Bug: Bonfire placed on swamp crypt roof affects the fire effect to whole swamp crypt inside area, which is actually way too big to have active effect if bonfire would've built inside the crypt.

Actually there were another crypt on same swamp where the fire effect was on also, when bonfire was on roof of different crypt.

Shelter + fire is quite OP because fast health regen and ongoing rested buff.

Vanilla multiplayer and single player. Tried on 3 different world.

[muted jackal]

Everything Black metal is two words now, except the bolt, thank you.

[lime halo]

Hello hello

Is this an Unsunken crypt?

For a moment I thought it was a cool new feature... skeleton village or something.

[stark meadow]

When which game versions did this happen, on 0.219.16?

[lime halo]

Right now - just discovered it

Brand new vanilla world

[stark meadow]

Can you double check your game version in the main menu?
There were few fixes related to locations that we hopped would fix this, seems not.

[lime halo]

Do you need the world seed?

[stark meadow]

It's not really about the world seed, but a player.log player-prev.log would help if you have it.
How long was your play session here?
Did you discover a trader icon?

You can find player.log files if you press show the white player.log button in the starting menu (bottom left)

[lime halo]

29 days in the world, I found Haldor and the Bog witch.

Can I drop the logs here?

[stark meadow]

Did you find any of them in the same play session?
Been into a regular burial crypt before this happened in this play session?

[stark meadow]

You can DM them to me rather

[lime halo]

No, found them in different days. And no - haven't visited a crypt in this session.
Sending you a DM

[gilded sluice]

do you play with any mods or friends got any mods?

[lime halo]

No, vanilla. And no friends with mods either.

[gilded sluice]

Hm... because that issue should been fixed with the bog-witch update

but your world was made after bog-witch update?

[lime halo]

Yes, the world is brand new - 21 game days in. No mods whatsoever.

[gilded sluice]

when was it created tho?

[lime halo]

3-4 days ago

[gilded sluice]

ok

[gilded sluice]

what time zone you in?

[lime halo]

EET - Eastern Europe, GMT+2

[gilded sluice]

GMT+2 ?

ah nice nice

just need to know when to look in the logfiles 😄

[lime halo]

Just had the same talk with @stark meadow 🙂

The mystery of timezones...

screenshot timestamp - 1:59 pm, EET

[gilded sluice]

hehe

MaCarBre and me talk like 24/7 😄

[lime halo]

I assumed so, as you already have my logs 🙂

..oh wait, aren't burial chambers supposed to be in Black forest only?

[stark meadow]

Yeah, they should only be there

[lime halo]

I was in Meadows.

[stark meadow]

You got them outside in meadows instead of some other location, probably village

Same as other players who experienced this

[gilded sluice]

did you use debugmode or flymode? 🤔

[lime halo]

Yes, I did in that session.

[gilded sluice]

not like that would do much. just curious

ah nice

since you discovered like 7 dungeons within 2 minutes 😄

[lime halo]

Yeah, I was flying around a mountain 🙂

[plain dragon]

Queen flung me out of the arena (saved myself with a fly command)

I was along the right side wall (in relation to enterance), bubbled, used like a baseball (least it was a home run...)

[balmy garnet]

(considering you're wearing the feather cape, you would've been fine without fly anyway)

[plain dragon]

Uhh....how would I have gotten back to the enterance and back to solid land?

[balmy garnet]

dungeon interiors are a few thousand meters up in the sky, after an admittedly pretty long fall, you would've been back on the ground

[plain dragon]

Huh. Somethin new every day

Could be a hell of a way to get to the ashlands

[balmy garnet]

well she is meant to get you to ashlands :>

[plain dragon]

Viking paratrooper lol

[short charm]

I think the crafting skill is not applied to stamina potions crafted 40 never had it light up once. I have 39 points in crafting

[toxic river]

I believe preparing the mead starter is a cooking thing?

using the fermenter should not be tied to any skills though

or where are you expecting the duplication to happen

[neat wolf]

Was the ability to get extra mead bases removed with the latest update? I have level 93 cooking and have crafted over 100 mead bases since the update and not a single extra. but I was getting them about once every 4-5 crafts previously

[marble wolf]

Yes, there's a chance now to get an extra item when crafting (except armour and weapons). This came in the Bog Witch patch.

[neat wolf]

it's not crafting tho. .it's cooking.. my understanding is that they removed the ability to get extra armor and weapons when crafting (understandable) but I didn't see anything about mead bases not being able to get extra

[marble wolf]

No, that's because you still can.

[short charm]

Hildir questline is bugged not leading to correct locations this is suppose to be Howling Cavern. Checked all around area no luck, checked under map again no luck.

[marble wolf]

Was this marked on your map pre-Bog Witch update? As that will have moved POIs around.

[short charm]

POI?

[marble wolf]

Point of Interest.

[short charm]

AH. yes. and damnit

[toxic river]

Should be as simple as removing the old ones from your map, then going back to Hildr and using her map again to refresh them

New locations should be accurate

[neat wolf]

sooo... is it based off of cooking skill? or crafting skill? (for mead bases)

[toxic river]

Mead ketill should be cooking

[neat wolf]

right, so with 93 cooking skill, I haven't gotten a single extra when making mead bases in almost 150 crafts now...

crafting food does seem to be working fine..

so I was just curious if I was doing something wrong.. or if others were seeing anything similar

[toxic river]

Are you able to check if preparing mead bases gives cooking xp?

[stark meadow]

You indeed can't get extra yield from crafting meads. Probably unintentional.
Bonus yield has to tweaked in general, as at this moment multi craft can provide too much for stackable items (e.g. +15 Feasts when multi-crafting Feasts).
I'm even thinking bonus yield should be disabled for Feasts and Meads atm, until a better solution is found (e.g. getting extra mead when interacting with Fermenter). Not sure what would be best for Feasts, maybe tweak bonus yield chance.

[gilded sluice]

look at what the mouse over text says

[iron steppe]

i feel that, if Valheim recalculates POIs on "patches" - then those patches should be removing the old POIs, knowing they are wrong now

[toxic river]

I'm afraid not

[iron steppe]

because for 95% of people who dont read Discord, how would they know? Its a really poor experience when you think about it

[toxic river]

-# sorry, had to

[iron steppe]

i see what you did there 🙂

[toxic river]

I don't think the game can track that unfortunately, since map data is player tied, not world tied~

all we can do is inform peeps

[marble wolf]

Given that non of this is relevant come 1.0 it's not really necessary to add to the game.

[iron steppe]

then perhaps a note in patch notes:

"Warning; this patch will result in previous POIs not yet visited to no longer be valid"

so people see it - even in main menu

[marble wolf]

I mean, it's been the same way for 3 years.

[late thicket]

Any idea why my world files aren’t saving to steam cloud? My character files seem to save just fine

It results in me losing all progress made in my world at any given time and I am constantly having to restore backups, losing hours of work in the process

[balmy garnet]

well it's not as simply implemented as it sounds since the marker isn't retroactively tied to the poi - it's just a marker on your map that was placed by a poi based on the current position of another poi

[iron steppe]

yeah, fair. So maybe just something in patch notes when it would trigger areas been recalulated - so people know? Anyway - just a thought

[balmy garnet]

that i agree with, it's been quite the problem lately 😅

[stark meadow]

What do you mean by steam world files not saving?

When you save, a world save file is first stored to your disk, and then when you close the game it gets uploaded to the Steam Cloud.

Regardless of it uploading or not, you should still be able to play on the world save file, even if it didn't fully upload to Steam Cloud.

I don't see how restoring a backup would help you in any way if you have a problem with world save file not saving, so it's confusing what your problem really is. Can you clarify it?

[late thicket]

Everytime I close out of Valheim, I get a Steam cloud error. Whenever I try to log back in to Valheim, I get the “your cloud isn’t synced properly” message before opening, and I have to choose to open anyway since the game will not load if I don’t. Once I load in, I select my character, which all of the progress is still there on, select my world, and once I load in to the world, I’m set back at the world spawn with all of my builds and progress in that world deleted

[stark meadow]

Can you screenshot your entire "worlds" folder at this steam cloud save location:
https://i.imgur.com/mTVKf1J.jpg?4
Also enable file name extensions before you grab a screenshot, and have them showing.
https://i.imgur.com/U0UwiJd.jpg

[late thicket]

While doing that, I think I fixed it. There was a rogue file in Valheim's local files that totally wasn't meant to be there. I deleted it and it started updating to the cloud again

Now how that file got there is a totally different can of worms that I don't want to open

[stark meadow]

How did the file look like?

[late thicket]

It was titled "world-worldname-backup-auto.db"

So I'm not sure if it was like a corrupted backup, or if something just didn't save right and broke everything or what

[stark meadow]

Have you ever crashed while saving or shutdown the PC while upload to Steam Cloud was taking place?
Ever tried downloading your saves from the Steam Cluod directly? (those usually have worlds_worldname name formats.

[late thicket]

It has done the first one before

[eager mountain]

hey guys, i have little bit problem, i cant join on my friends server even though he is inviting me, it say "failed to connect"

[stark meadow]

If you are all playing on steam, tell your friends to disable crossplay option before pressing start server button.

[eager mountain]

thank you daddy, love you so much 🗿 ❤️ blushes

[round bloom]

Hi I'm having a weird bug with a hearth where it places, I put wood in it, the fire starts up for a few seconds and then dies and it won't burn. In meadows, dry conditions, well ventilated...another hearth in the same structure (which is a mirror image) behaves just fine, the chimneys for both are identical mirrors of each other, and this behavior was evident even before any chimney or surrounding structure was in place yet. Have destructed and rebuilt it and the behavior continues. Help?

[gilded sluice]

remove roofs first and see if thet work correctly

do you use any mods?

[vernal pewter]

hi, im being crusged after 5-10 min of game without an error. tried all methods rom youtume but nothing helps.

here is the log:

[tropic torrent]

anyone else noticing farming skill gain seems incredibly slow? is it possible that the rested buff isn't being applied?

[round bloom]

as I said the behavior happened even with no roofs. I have the valheimVRM mod, but what's weird is there are 3 other hearths within a hundred meters that all work fine

[gilded sluice]

then I would have you remove all mods + mod loader and try again 😦

[gilded sluice]

could be your internet, or your harddrive being full 🤔

[round bloom]

Undid the mods and no change. Here's a screenshot of the house...like I said this behavior started when it was a flat floor without walls, the far (west) hearth has always worked but the near (east) hearth never has. They currently have chimneys that are identical mirrors of each other, the far one burns happily but the near one will never stay lit

the ground is level and just below the wood floor, the hearths are not destroying for lack of ground support, just this one won't stay lit. I only have four hearths and one campfire in the entire save file. I've destroyed and rebuilt the hearth multiple times and it always does the same thing.

[gilded sluice]

remove it and place it down again?

[last grotto]

anyone know how to fix portals breaking, my friends portal keeps stopping working, both sides are still the same name, one side stays active but the other deactivates, keep having to break the portal and rename it

[round bloom]

I've done that multiple times, but I think I just figured it out. The ground must be a TINY bit higher at that location so when I build it flush in the floor, it builds but won't stay lit. When I set it so the bottom of the hearth snaps to the floor instead of the top of the hearth, it stays lit

[gilded sluice]

Hm... 🤔

[round bloom]

^^ apparently, just a little too high of a ground elevation to set the hearth flush to the floor (and have the fire stay lit)

[stark meadow]

Try breaking both portals offline and reconstruct them.

[last grotto]

portal seems fine now, but now some chests wont open, all started when a raid occured

[stark meadow]

It might break in the future again, so regardless of it working now, reconstruct both.
Chests are network related issue.
You should do one important test tho to check if your base is corrupt in general:

• Play with friend
• Both of you go far away from the base by using a portal
• Both of you press F2 to see the instance count and have stopwatch ready
• One of you should pass through the portal and measure how fast the base loads for them by looking at the instance count in the F2 menu.
• After the base finishes loading for them, that player should stay in the base, and the other player should now pass through the portal to the base, while measuring the base loading time on their stopwatch.

Report back on the load times.

[last grotto]

should have mentioned but its on a server, seems a restart had fixed it, the chests were unbreakable through hammer, not sure amount physical damage

i will do in future though if it happens again

[stark meadow]

If you were doing a lot of animal breading between nov2023 to aug2024 near that base, I recommend to do this test sooner, as a large discrepancy in base loading times would allude that you might have been affected by the bug, which would then explain a lot of weird things.

[last grotto]

server only opened a few weeks ago

[stark meadow]

So fresh would you mean? Then what ever you are experiencing is not that at least.

[last grotto]

ye

only the deer boss and elder defeated, the portal bugged a few minutes after a fuling raid and only noticed the chests after portal was rebuilt

[pure sail]

Cant seem to cook Food at all when me and my friend play together

Food will go onto the cooking station then it never cooks or goes to coal

[stark meadow]

Restart the server to fix it. The question is how often it will happen

[pure sail]

Its not a dedicated server its just the local server thats built into the game and no matter how many times i restart its fully broken

[stark meadow]

Is the cooking station broken in offline singleplayer as well?

Is it broken when you start the world as a server, while your friend hasn't jet joined the server?

How about them joining the server but not being in the base?

Anyone using mods?

[tender spire]

Had a strange thing happen. Was working on a portal place for my Bog witch portal. The had a skele surprise. All the skele's seem more interested in the Hut then me. Is that normal? Is it the broom? Kinda confused on this.

[gilded sluice]

funky 🤔

they might be upset with the broom

[agile lodge]

sounds like my cat

[tender spire]

broom was inside of hut. Watched them just run around and avoid me. Was kinda funny. Just confused

[gilded sluice]

😄

[lucid geyser]

In my game, the mobs was much more interested in the Broom then me, when I was around the Hut. Even if the Broom wasn't hostile, or had been as long as I was in the cell.

[sick orbit]

Can we change the auto-save frequency of the game ?

Yesterday my game just crashed for the 1st in +450h of playing and when I relogged on a unmodded server and game my character spawned in a swamp i was litteray 3h ago, without the stuff and xp I took since but with the one I had at this time

My steamcloud and saves are connected, and after some researches I found that you could try to put a more recent local autosave in your Steamcloud saves, which I did but the most recent one was still 1h ago the crash occured.
I don't know if I'm clear

[gilded sluice]

game saves every 20 minutes tho

[sick orbit]

hmm

I did not find my last autosave in my backups, maybe I didn't search well

[gilded sluice]

it could be your game crashed due to not being able to save

it's made to do that

[sick orbit]

perfect then 🙃

I think so, because my Steam has a bugged and put me a message like "In waiting to Valheim to close" and Valheim did not and I still play for 30 minutes

[gilded sluice]

could be during steam downtime on wednesdays

[stark meadow]

What are your system specs?

If you move your saves from Cloud to Local, you will have one additional backup save to restore which will be 30min behind. It has extension .old. After experiencing a crash, you should backuo that save before loading the game. Save interval can only be tweaked on dedicated servers.

[sick orbit]

Intel Core i9-10850K
DDR4 32 Go (2 x 16 Go), 3200 MHz, CAS 16
iCue H115i
RTX 3060 Ti
Corsair RM750e (2023) 80+ Gold

[sick orbit]

Yes I found out that Valheim is still saving on local too, that's how I could find a more recent backup, even with cloud backup in parralel

So, as you suggested, I backup this autosave on my steamcloud sync, but it was still 30 minutes before my crash occured and I thnk it related to what @gilded sluice suggested : Steam bugged and Valheim couldnt save so it crashed, and the last local autosave was this 30 minutes late save. Don't know if it's clear

[stark meadow]

If your save is labeled as cloud in the ingame manged saves menu, a local .old save won't be created. Save has to be moved from Cloud to Local, and then it will stop being syned from disk to cloud, but .old will also be created.

[sick orbit]

oh

[stark meadow]

But where you should really be focusing, is on fixing the crash cause. List your specs if you continue crashing.

[sick orbit]

Yea, it's the first time in like +400h of play and it just occures after a steam bug (crash too), and I think it related to it

and I change my power apply like 2 weeks ago and seems my game and my computer are feeling way better, I can feel it

[stark meadow]

saves during crashes usually happen due to power spikes
btw. you should check if you game now saves properly, so change something in the world and re-log to see if the change would be there

Sometimes when steam crashes while saving, some leftover files can get left behind and hinder future saving

[sick orbit]

Yes it is cause i'm playing on a mutliplayer world

and the server does save correctly, the question is does my character do it too lol

thanks for your help, btw

[stark meadow]

Yeah, change something in inventory to test that then

[sick orbit]

I'm not home, but now I will think about it until then 😭

[boreal cliff]

Hi, just unlocked the blast furnace after killing moder. But my friend who plays in my world (i host it) got the black metal sword recipe, but i dont. I already unlocked linen threads and fine wood ofcourse. So my question is why is the recipe not unlocked and how can i fix it? Maybe with commands?

[stark meadow]

The recipe is not unlocked by unlocking blast furnace rather by picking up blackmetal bar, along with fine wood and linen threads you already have interacted with.

[boreal cliff]

yeah i already picked up the black metal bar, my friend got the recipe but i didnt.

[stark meadow]

You'll probably need to reinstall the game and pickup those items again from the ground.

[boreal cliff]

does that affect all my other recipes?

[stark meadow]

Re-installing the game shouldn't affect you in any way, if that's what you are asking.

[boreal cliff]

yeah okay tnx i will try it!

[muted jackal]

Cooking skill doesn't affect cooking time, only affects crafting time of foods. Is this expected?

[high crest]

Did the crazy Xbox controller bug return on Windows?

[tidal hazel]

why does my sword go right through the enemies?

[gilded sluice]

I wonder if you're not stuck inside the enemy model 🤔

[stark meadow]

It's not intended for cooking skill to affect cooking time in food processing units, so not a bug.

[stark meadow]

There should be no issues. What kind of issues do you have? Using mods? Double chekc on which game version you are playing on by specifically looking at the game version number in the starting menu.

[muted jackal]

I was quoted the patch notes and the notes were clear what it did. In-game description is misleading, "Cooking speed, serving tray wear and chance for bonus yields." Should probably be changed to Food crafting time to illustrate it doesn't affect cooking.

[stark meadow]

Then players would confuse it with crafting skill

[muted jackal]

Fair point, but there should still be a difference made. Perhaps the crafting skill could have a more precise description in what it changes. I'm just saying the cooking one is a bit misleading.

[prime edge]

I think I have a bug with staff of the wild. It's stopped producing vines. It just says "not strong enough to control more summons" every time I use it.

[stark meadow]

Singleplayer or multiplayer, playing with mods?

[prime edge]

Single player with no mods

[stark meadow]

Does restarting the game resolve the issue?

[prime edge]

It didn't.

[stark meadow]

Before you do anyhting else. Can you send me your character and world save files?

[prime edge]

Thanks. It may take me a little while to work out how to do that.

[stark meadow]

World save files are worldname.db and worldname.fwl, and character save file is charactername.fwl
They can be found at this locations (depending if you are using stema cloud or local saves): https://i.imgur.com/mTVKf1J.jpg?4

[prime edge]

I had an idea and the staff is fixed now. I think what happened is that I used it at the extreme of the render range and some of the vines didn't de-spawn. When I went to that area of the map later the staff worked again.

Thanks anyway

[stark meadow]

That's the range I wanted to check

Could you have used the staff in a completely unrelated area?

Like a different biome, or were you getting this message then as well?

[prime edge]

Yes, it was giving the error in both Ashlands and Plains

[stark meadow]

Plains close by or on other side of the world?
And where were the vines that were causing the issue? Were their near some location, like fort, dungeon, tower, ruins?

[prime edge]

I was in a fort and aiming at a distant charred spawner. The plains is where my base is, a long way away

[stark meadow]

The problem is that you should have been able to summon them in plains non the less, but you couldn't.
Do you remember what you did after spamming them after the charred spawner? Loged out? Restarted the game? Used console commands?

[prime edge]

I think it was the last thing I did before I logged out and then had the problem the next time I loaded the game.

[stark meadow]

Do you also happen to remember where you logged out? Same fort?
Did you keep the game running in the main menu, or also closed the game after logging out, or went into another world?

[tranquil tree]

when is online play on linux getting fixed?

[stark meadow]

You mean the playfab issue or something else?

[tranquil tree]

the playfab issue got fixed with the latest patch but online play still doesnt work

online play has been down ever since bogwitch got released

[stark meadow]

Works fine for me.
You most likely still have Playfab issue, which is Steam related, and nothing about it was fixed in the recent patch.
Current version of Steam doesn't load PlayFab libraries if you launch it in Soldier runtime.
Have you tried connecting to a non crossplay server?

[tranquil tree]

the playfab warning disappeared with the latest patch

tried a couple different servers

usually i host my own

im on mint btw

[stark meadow]

You don't have to try a couple of servers, rather two distinct servers. One with crossplay and one without.

I can host Steam one for you atm if you have time to connect.

[tranquil tree]

unless windows and linux counts as two different platforms then non crossplay doesnt work either

[tranquil tree]

sure

I live near irongate, I should go and tell them to fix it lol

ping when ready @stark meadow

[stark meadow]

Sent you a DM

[blissful trail]

Valheim randomly crashes, no error, what is happening

[gilded sluice]

no one at the office could help you tho 🤔
because that's not how it works 😄

[stark meadow]

What are your pc specs?

[gilded sluice]

I call GPU drivers issue

[tranquil tree]

Yeah found that out, issue is mostly solved. I can still come over and tell you to update the ocean biome after deep north : )

ngl a tour of the office would be cool, I could wait until I start studying again though 😈

[gilded sluice]

I think the Draugr elite guarding the entrance would prevent you from entering 🤔

[tranquil tree]

😭

[gilded sluice]

Also. I don't think anyone at the office would open the doors to random visitors
we don't have that kind of office to begin with

[tranquil tree]

I'm in-between studies right now but once I continue my gamedev path (at högskolan, this time) I will probably get a study visit lol

[gilded sluice]

don't think we have that many student visitors tho

like. what you gonna see?

all our locked offices? 😄

[tranquil tree]

pretty much haha, I was on a study visit to the equivalent of svenska spel in Helsinki and their office was pretty interesting, but also being there and getting to ask questions

[gilded sluice]

just go to a AMA event or something at SGC in skövde and ask questions

[tranquil tree]

SGC is fun, its a different experience though

Does the team mostly work from home?

[gilded sluice]

depends on who and what day

some people prefer working form office, some like to work remote

[tranquil tree]

Are you from Skövde?

[gilded sluice]

nope

most of the team aren't

[tranquil tree]

I was gonna follow up with asking if you think the uni is good haha

[gilded sluice]

unless you mean students from the Skövde school

but I didn't attend that one

[tranquil tree]

I appreciate the answer regardless

I'm torn if I wanna major in design or programming, or just do an IT course, gotta decide soon

[gilded sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/hugh-laurie-shrug-idk-gif-8385685

[tranquil tree]

Anyway I'm getting off topic, I appreciate the responses haha, see you around I guess

On the next Ica trip or so

[gilded sluice]

only on discord 😉

I work remote from Gotland (we also got a game developer university)

[tranquil tree]

Now I have more questions

Would you say the uni there is good?

[gilded sluice]

no clue. never attended ANY university in game design 😅

but those who made the game RAFT. studied aperantly here on Gotland

[tranquil tree]

I've got student friends from multiple unis and gymnasial level courses and I've heard a few mixed things about some

coolio

Alright that's all for real this time, see ya

[old yew]

Hello there! I'm new here, i just wanted to know if the issue about the iron scraps going under the structure when mining it is already fixed? Maybe it was already addresed?

It's just frustrating that every time i mine iron it ends up out of my reach.

[iron steppe]

If you go outside the crypt, they will probably be around outside. (They fall through the crypt, and fall all the way down to the ground where the crypt is).

But given how many you normally get in a crypt, it’s usually only a couple that seemingly fall through.

[plush knoll]

so that's where all the iron was going, i knew my math had some unexplainable flaws

[old yew]

I just mined 2 of those clusters in the crypt and i got nothing. It's frustrating, to say the least. Hopefully it did go outside.
Edit: Scrap Piles, just went and read the correct name.

[iron steppe]

To be clear; it’s chance based to drop scrap iron. So another potential is you just got unlucky.

[old yew]

At the time it was 2. Now it's 4 in a row? Jesus, those odds are very low. Or they are getting through the floor under the crypt structure.

[iron steppe]

Each part is 14% chance to drop. So given each pile has multiple parts, does seem unlucky.

But when I know of scraps falling through, it’s usually like one every now and again. Not all of them.

You running any mods? And secondly maybe make sure you have carry weight and room.

[old yew]

As vanilla as i can get.
And this is my inventory:

Sigh, i will just put the multiplier to 3x. So that when i finally get the ore i get more than enough.

[iron steppe]

Are you mining the whole rock, or just enough to fit through?

There should also be decent amounts in some of the chests

It is normal to have to do a couple of crypts depending on the amount of iron you are after….

[brittle finch]

I don't see anything about this in here or in the known bugs list, but it seems like feasts are disappearing when placed on tables after all players log out of a dedicated server. (don't know if it happens in other conditions) Both times it's happened, there were 1-3 portions eaten.

[blissful trail]

i7-14700kf, 4080 super, ,32 gb of ram

[stark meadow]

You are most likely crashing due to your CPU being ustable. You would have to go to your motherboard manufacturer site, download the latest BIOS and follow instructions on how to install it. After that Intel default CPU profile has to be set as opposed to motherboard default. 14th gen Intel CPUs are known to have issues.

[modest cosmos]

@gilded sluice Any particular reason why I can’t build the Christmas tree and my teammate can?

No Christmas items is unlocked for me…🫤

[stark meadow]

Holidays items are available for building from 1st of December till 6th of January.
Your friends is probably day ahead when it comes to their system clock.

[modest cosmos]

@stark meadow how is that even possible being in the same house?😂

[stark meadow]

Becaouse you are not playing on the same device. Check and compare your clocks.

[stark meadow]

How old is the world you are playing on? Anyone using mods?

[brittle finch]

No mods.. We started after Ashlands.. Day 1770-something. Just recently updated to Bog Witch.

[stark meadow]

Try to not eat Feasts are the same time as someone else and see if it continues happening.
Also, where is the base where this happened? Was it build near some pre-existing location and which one?
Check if the Feast is on top of the roof after it "disappears". If it happens consistently, send me your world file.

[brittle finch]

Could have definitely been eating close to the same time as someone else, but not within say 5 seconds I don't think. Base is in the mountains near Moder altar. Checking roof! It's been 2/2 times now, but I could test with another one.

[stark meadow]

You should test with a full Feast, as when destroyed it retains 10/10. Feasts that have less than 10 eats remaining disappear upon deconstruction.

[brittle finch]

Yeah I can do that. Nothing on the roof but there's a bunch of kilns up there so if it ended up inside of one I wouldn't be able to tell. Can get rid of them if you think that would help.

[brittle finch]

It's not doing it now. I tried a few things, but it's just me on the server right now, so it could be related to having more than one person.

[turbid ore]

idk if this is really categorised as a bug, but i seriously have been struggling to get the ivy seeds to place properly and it's sad because i'm wasting a lotta money tryna plant them

i genuinely can't remember if the ashlands vine was this finicky

[sullen root]

Does anyone else have the problem currently where when you try and launch valheim it just crashes?

[cunning flame]

Must come from your computer. What changed between the last time you played and now?

[sullen root]

Nothing, I js havnt played in a week or so

[hallow willow]

It seems that the auto store doesn't put the basic fish bait, or is it me ?

[gilded sluice]

we know about it. it's on the list on "to fix"

[hallow stratus]

I dunno if this is the right help channel for this-

But I keep getting a White Screen O’ Death, whenever I try to launch Valheim.

Anyone have any suggestions?

[gilded sluice]

usual suspect is broken mods

[hallow stratus]

I use r2modman a lot, would you suggest a un/reinstall of both programs (r2 and the Valheim Client)?

[gilded sluice]

remove all mods for now, then clean the entire valheim folder of files that does not belong there, validate the game files, run the game to see it starts as normal

then re-apply updated mods

also --> #mods-issues can probably help you more

[hallow stratus]

I’ve un/reinstalled, verified game files, launched steam as administrator… still the white screen of death

Ofc my 1050 hours stop as soon as a new update comes out 😂

[gilded sluice]

might be the wierd pixel issue

right click valheim in your steam library, properties, under launch options. add this line
-screen-height 1080 -screen-width 1920

like this

[hallow stratus]

Got that in- now close the page and try to relaunch?

[gilded sluice]

yup

[hallow stratus]

LETS GOOOO

[gilded sluice]

the infomus pixel problem 🙂

your entire screen resolution was changed by a mob to 1x1 pixel 😄

[hallow stratus]

Ive been trying to fix it for like a month now lol

[agile lodge]

doesnt windows sometimes do that with other progams as well?

[hallow stratus]

"Eikthyr rallies the creatures of the forest"

[hallow stratus]

I have a new issue

https://tenor.com/view/dammit-damn-damn-it-ron-swanson-parks-and-rec-gif-19792726

So Im able to launch it just fine- but everytime I click to fullscreen the game crashes

[gilded sluice]

don't click while loading 👀

[hallow stratus]

whatcu mean

the game is always loading

I have to full screen to be able to pick a character or profile to play

Is there a Legitimate permanent fix you can think of- or should I just try to click and drag to make the game smaller?

Like clicking and dragging the corners?

Turns out... that crashes the game too

[modest cosmos]

disconnected from my friends server and now it wont let me log back in??? tried everything in know to fix it. im out of ideas 😢

[brittle finch]

FYI, Feast was gone when I logged in today. Nobody else has been on the server. Maybe I wasn't disconnecting for long enough before to trigger the bug.

I'd only had 1 portion while testing

[stark meadow]

How are you launching the game, vulkan or default (d3d11)? Tried both?

[hallow stratus]

default, pc cant handle vulkan all too well

[stark meadow]

We have some players reporting crashing when switching to fullscreen on some Linux Distros, but not on Windows.
Are you using any obvious overlay features from some 3rd party software?
What are your PC specs?

[hallow stratus]

The only overlay I can think of would be discord, but i can toggle that

Laptop Specs: Intel i7 - 13700HX & RTX 4060

(32 GB Ram, and plenty of ssd space)

[stark meadow]

Might be the same issue as on Linux but probably not.
Can you check if you crash on previous game version when switching to fullscreen?
You can open Valheim properties in Stema library, and under BETA tab choose default_prebw

[stark meadow]

If you are both on Steam, tell your friend to try disabling crossplay option before they start their server.

[fair shuttle]

hello. I have a problem with the game, the image shakes when I enter the world and I can't do anything about it. I turned off vertical sync, lowered the mouse sensitivity, uninstalled and reinstalled, turned off the -console phrase and still nothing. advise me what to do

[flint solar]

My Valheim is suddenly running like a slideshow like it's <1 fps? Any idea what could cause this?

[fair shuttle]

check through device manager whether the graphics card is active or running on a synchronized one

[flint solar]

Oh, I have a ⚠️ on my display adapter in the device manager. that wasn't there before. okay i'll see what's up with that.

[fair shuttle]

you click on the ppm card, uninstall and refresh the card. after how long it should update itself

[flint solar]

Okay. Like so, yes?

[fair shuttle]

first scan

[flint solar]

Ah, of course

[fair shuttle]

after uninstall

[flint solar]

Nothing seems to have happened except the device manager refreshing itself. Proceeding with uninstall 🤞

[fair shuttle]

I once fought with a card like this for several months. widows was not updated properly

[flint solar]

This I feel would explain the recent behavior of my game crashing constantly. and the behavior of my PC in general.

Okay, thanks again for help, hopefully I'll have good news after this sytem restart and trying things again.

[fair shuttle]

sometimes you will have to do this several times before the graphics card starts working properly.

[flint solar]

Affirmative. For the time being, the ⚠️ is now absent, so I'll see if running the game yields anything different.

[fair shuttle]

if something else happens, I write. I have a lot of experience with this problem

[flint solar]

That took care of the slow frame rates. Unfortunately it's not related to the issue I was originally attempting to resolve before it cropped up, which is the game crashing constantly.

[fair shuttle]

I suspect it's because of higher than recommended graphics or vertical synchronization. I don't see any other solution 😦

[flint solar]

How might one address this graphics or vertical synchronization issue? I am unfamiliar with this.

I noticed a buttload of unnecessary startup apps, so I culled those.

[fair shuttle]

when you are in the game, you click esc and go to settings, go to graphics and find V-synch items. is to be disabled.
below there will be sliders responsible for the graphics quality, set them to the lowest and watch how the game changes. you can also lock the fps at a certain height, which will reduce the load on the graphics card

[flint solar]

The game crashing the computer is not new, but this is the first time I've seen a BSOD happen out of it.

[fair shuttle]

bsod?

[flint solar]

I'll have to try this if it'll let me do this before crashing.

"Blue screen of death," Windows OS system crash screen. Usually before I'd just get a restart of the system.

[fair shuttle]

😨

Valheim can be problematic...

[flint solar]

The issues do not seem to be consistent, but something always does go wrong and fast trying to run this app.

well, they are consistent, in that it is consistently a crash of some sort.

[fair shuttle]

Usually in such moments I leave it alone and wait for updates that might fix it.

[flint solar]

Frame rate limiter might be of help, I'll see if it does anything. Valheim stayed alive long enough for me to change that. Render scale as well dropped to 90%.

I also took down all other graphics settings completely. I only roughly Googled my issue, but one result suggested that graphics card stress could indeed be the issue. My frame rate was previously unlimited.

[fair shuttle]

I understand that it helped?

[flint solar]

game literally just crashed, so evidently not. at least this time it didn't take the system with it. progress?

[fair shuttle]

i dont understand my english is low lv. translator cant help

😶

[thorn vale]

We've just started getting a 'You need to have a lit fire below the cooking station' message when trying to cook any type of meat. Is there a fix?

[flint solar]

Sorry. It did not fix the problem, as the game crashed again.
and this time it crashed the computer too

[fair shuttle]

IT solution. take it apart and put it back together

[flint solar]

Valheim team did just enable the Christmas items. Maybe that update broke something it shouldn't have for my PC set up.

Except the PC was crashing before then.

[fair shuttle]

wait, let me check if it is possible to select the game version so that the Christmas update is not included in the game

[flint solar]

Would this cause an issue for online play? I am intending to play online.

[fair shuttle]

unless so. this creates a problem. I'm a single player, so I'm giving single solutions. at most it will help me

sorry

[flint solar]

I'll be trying to uninstall and reinstall to C: drive.

It's running and I actually got to connect, so we'll see if it stays that way or has another heart attack.

[fair shuttle]

are you the host of the server you want to play on?

[marble wolf]

There's been no update.

[flint solar]

its working now spanks

[olive iris]

Just realized that, yeah my bad. I am host for the user seeking assistance here. I was on their computer asking for help.

[olive iris]

Yes. You were also speaking to me as well under that user name.

I'll complain some more if the computer has a heart attack. Thanks again for pointing out the graphics card reinstall issue, that helped as well.

[fair shuttle]

I recommend myself for the future. If you have an idea on how to solve my problem, I'll pin it below so I don't have to search for it

[fair shuttle]

.

[olive iris]

This one I am less familiar with.

it did a crash again.
well I guess we'll be here for a while trying to understand what's going on. this crashing phenomenon is very recent.

[toxic river]

what's the last time y'all replaced your thermal paste

[olive iris]

I'll probably have to check that I guess. I do not know if the graphics card is overheating. I should hope that's not it, as the PC is somewhat new? But we can check some time.

CPU should not be having issues? Let me see what our CPU is.
also new pfp cute

[flint solar]

This is the processor in question. Don't know the condition of the thermal paste. It should be good, being a recent purchase, but might not hurt to check?

May be worth noting that now only Valheim is having issues like this.

[analog iron]

Saw this small visual gap between the mistlands and the water while me and my buddy were sailing, don't know if its meant to be this way or a glitch

[tropic torrent]

it's normal. Might be a glitch that isn't yet patched, but I'm glad of it, so I can sail through without hitting stuff.

[olive iris]

I'm assuming this looks like it needs changing? I will need to look into how to safely change thermal paste.

[toxic river]

ooh hecc, I mean that usually depends on how old the system is (i think once a year is good practice) but especially now that you've removed the heatsink

[olive iris]

welp 🥴

I will need to go get some isopropyl alcohol to clean this off.

I've never replaced thermal paste, maybe that's what's wrong with my pcs as they age
no one told me about this

[balmy garnet]

same, except i was told, i just have no clue

[olive iris]

🥴
welp, learn something every day.

[agile lodge]

yeah that looks overdue for a cleaning and a change

[gilded sluice]

what kind of graphics cards is that even? 😱

and what processor is that?

[olive iris]

A processor kind

[gilded sluice]

7700?

[olive iris]

This one

[gilded sluice]

ah

so soon 8 years old 🤔

came out january 2017

[olive iris]

And gpu is this

[gilded sluice]

ah

[olive iris]

It is a refurbished PC.

[iron steppe]

that photo shows the cooking station is too far to the side of the fire. Reposition it more over the fire to make it work

[olive iris]

Okay, I changed the thermal paste. My work was sloppy as lox turds and I probably used too much but uhhhh we'll see what happens.

[olive iris]

I made everything worse.

[agile lodge]

dont use too much of it, make a small turd and spread it evenly across the cpu. if you use too much the pressure from the fan will cause it to spill

[olive iris]

well looks like the user did something and it's working now so far.
for now
knock on wood.

nevermind

[old widget]

is that hairs in it?

[olive iris]

i already wiped it clean and replaced the paste, but I didn't see anything resembling hair strands while I did that.

[old widget]

nvm it was just shadows from the thermal paste

[muted jackal]

Typos:
Uncooked fish n' bread is sentence case as opposed to title case like everything else and is missing the leading ' like in its cooked version.
The Ward's inactive message is missing a space between the word and leading parenthesis.

[muted jackal]

Fishing baits are at the bottom of the list regardless of sorting, other than count.

[gilded sluice]

report what you think is a typo to the valheim website.

[marble wolf]

Is that a typo?

[gilded sluice]

who knows

10000's of people have reported typos which are ment as being old english

but you never know

[marble wolf]

Looks like it's more of a sorting issue, than a spelling one.

[gilded sluice]

the one above tho could be

[marble wolf]

Oh, sorry, yes.

[muted jackal]

So do I report sorting issues here? Or both to the website?

[gilded sluice]

no one will see it here. only website counts if you want anyone seeing your findings

https://valheim.com/support

click "translation errors"

[muted jackal]

Okidoke

[last shard]

Found a spot with broken terrain textures. The seed is: qQgv7QM6qk, position: 1145 -3746

[stark meadow]

Have you solved your problem? Sounds like a mod issue.
If you intend to play on vanilla, best to do a clean reinstall according to Section5 from this guide:
https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/uq9b8x/

[gilded sluice]

I can't tell exactly what's wrong with that texture in the picture 🤔
but we do know there are issues atm in plains specificly with lines and such apearing

[stark meadow]

Players and items sink into ground in areas that are between swamp and plains biomes. Known issue.

[gilded sluice]

ah right. it behaves just like if it was ashlands....

[last shard]

At this spot the biome is plains, but it has swamp ground texture (black). There is also a narrow stripe of correct texture, but with no fading to the black. It can be recreated with new world with the seed above.

[balmy garnet]

yea that seems to happen everywhere where plains meet swamps now, seen it myself a while ago, definitely uses the ashlands ground texture, similar to how the border between plains and black forest looks all wet and uses the mistlands rock texture since the mistlands update

[gilded sluice]

Hm.. when was the map made?

nvm. found it

[onyx glacier]

Sorry, if this has been asked before...
I just bought candel wicks, and I have Resin, and I am at my workbench....
But I can't see the recipe to make candles...
Am I doing something wrong?

p.s.
I have only beaten Eikthyr

[toxic river]

Heya, candles should be a buildable item from the hammer menu, under furniture

[onyx glacier]

Ohhhhhh

Thank you!

[iron steppe]

Had an abomination I was killing via fire. I died to a silly mistake, and just as the tombstone was fading out, I could see the abomination died from the fire and started its death animation.

When I went back immediately to get my body, no loot from the abomination was there. And neither was abomination. Searched everywhere twice.

Caught it all on video and checked replay. Definitely didn’t spawn the loot, I’m guessing since area wasn’t loaded at the moment loot was meant to spawn…

[gilded sluice]

possibly but wierd nontheless 🤔

[iron steppe]

Got it on video if you want. But doesn’t really show much, other than “proof”.

P.s. no mods at all.

It kind of makes sense to me from a coding perspective though

[gilded sluice]

should be rather easy to reproduce

what's your ingame settings?

[iron steppe]

I.e. trigger death animation, timer starts for loot. Unload zone.

No loot soawns, body is destroyed.

[iron steppe]

All standard. Working on a WR speedrun.

[gilded sluice]

these

draw distance?

[iron steppe]

Max draw, max render. Everything else min. All toggles at bottom off.

The abdom died right next to my tombstone, so it was close at time of death.

Base/bed miles away.

I’ll post a snippet of video when I get home shortly if you want.

I might try and recreate scenario for fun as well; shouldn’t be too hard.

Kinda curious now myself if just very random/unlucky, or something a bit more…

[gilded sluice]

could be fun to see what happens 😄

[crude eagle]

Anyway to fix this? It seems like the initial model for the stone block didn't get switched with the destructible one leaving behind an indestructible stone model

[gilded sluice]

run away from it until it unloads and then run back again 🤔

[gilded sluice]

Hm.. seems to be a issue with the game itself

[crude eagle]

Portaling back and to from it didn't do anything, I'll try running away

[gilded sluice]

no it's a issue in .16

I also have it

can't break any of the fingers

[raw cosmos]

I seem to have encountered something, idk if its a bug or that my save may be a little corrupted. but:

I have a save with one character on it. I explored some swamp biome looking for surtling spawns. I found some, and put up portals at their locations. i come back to the save only to find the portal gone and the ground around the spawner not mined away (which is what i did) On the map it appears as though i discovered the location allready (no fog) but in the world itself there werent any changes made.

For the record, i obsessively save all my games, while playing and while quitting. i distincly remember logging out next to the spawner, with the ground hoe'd away and a portal up.

[crude eagle]

Some of them broke but two wont for me. But ok it is a bug then

[gilded sluice]

you can break them, but the model still stays up

[crude eagle]

Yeah it's not removing the original model so there's two ontop of each other

[gilded sluice]

correct

I've written it up as a bug

nice catch

[stark meadow]

There is no reason to save before quitting or logging out, as those actions save the game as well.
You should check if your game saves at all now, by changing something in the world, loging out and then going back in to check if change is there.

Are you playing in single-player? Are you often restoring saves?

[raw cosmos]

Ahh i didnt know, i always figured better safe than sorry

[raw cosmos]

Yes and no, i always just play on the same save, no restoring or backups

maybe i should also mention i did some things in python to find all portal locations in my world because i lost some, just a search query tho. Could this have compromised my save file?

[autumn plaza]

i'm coming back after like a year, but don't remember that the swamp ever got this dark - i feel like the lighting is really weird now

[blissful creek]

If it hasn't been reported yet, Ive been having sunken crypt resources drop onto the main world floor, which is often a good share of my iron into fairly deep swamp water around the crypt where it is difficult to see. On linux using vulkan, only noticed this after bog witch update.

[autumn plaza]

Anti-Sting doesn't always work 😦

which is really painful when you're playing no-map, no portal

please.... 😦 - it seems like it's likely a lag issue in multiplayer where the squito doesn't check for anti-sting in time for the lag comp to happen - there's so many issues like this with multiplayer 😦

[gilded sluice]

yeah 😦 it's a known issue atm

[gaunt mist]

Been there after the last game engine update before Ashlands PTB lauch.

[dusky raptor]

I was just updating the wiki article for the shield generator
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Shield_generator

In the process, I noticed that although players are protected from the wet effect, and structures are protected from rain damage, fire effect yielding structures like campfires still require to be under shelter. Is this an intentional design point, or a bug?

[torn jay]

when i want to upgrade an item on workbench or forge, it jumps back to crafting as soon i change something in my inventory. so i have craft on accident insteat of upgrading. thats really annoying

[marble wolf]

What was wrong with the page?

[dusky raptor]

Nothing was particularly wrong. It just lacked some information that I thought would be useful

[marble wolf]

Hm, OK. Fair enough, as long as that was all verified.

[dusky raptor]

Do you mean that I checked all of the information I provided in-game before committing it to the wiki?

[marble wolf]

Either in-game or via source code, yeah

[dusky raptor]

Yeah, I tested the effects in-game

[solar thistle]

Potential fix for all platforms. When a ward is placed around the boss stones you cannot access the power for your character. Seems like that should not happen

[gilded sluice]

You cannot build a ward close enough tho 🤔

[solar thistle]

Yeah I have one where it touches 2 of the stones :/

[gilded sluice]

any mods running?

[solar thistle]

none total vanilla server through gportal @gilded sluice

here it is

started a new character and noticed it. Obvs I can move it, but seems like it shouldn't happen.

You can't access the Elder power either

The Ward is in that shack just behind on the right

[sharp zephyr]

I don’t speak English

[gilded sluice]

We can't read that language tho

[gilded sluice]

Got it

[autumn plaza]

in relation to this, i had a crate from a broken cart fall through the mountain earlier as well

[gilded sluice]

fell through the ground?

[autumn plaza]

yes, smashed it between 2 rocks on a mountain and it 1 box full of silver/rock was gone

also since maybe you'll read this now, the anti-sting mead on multiplayer servers does not work very well if you're not the "area host" 😄 you still get stabbed by the squitos

[gilded sluice]

known problem 😦

[karmic palm]

I just parry the squitos , or I waste 20 arrows trying to trick shot it

[eager sky]

sorry if this in the wrong place!! Found crack in the sea

[gilded sluice]

does it go away if you relog / restart server?

[eager sky]

Yes

[gilded sluice]

is it a dedicated server?

[eager sky]

yes sorry for the delay

[hidden hill]

Hi, I went to the map marker for the Elder and it's just not here.

Playing vanilla on Steam on a dedicated server. Map was generated in early October.

[gilded sluice]

old map problem :/

go visit the vegvisir you found the elder marker from to update it

[hidden hill]

I've been to half a dozen Vegvisir and they all give this location

wait it has to be the first vegvisir to update it?

[balmy garnet]

the last update shuffled locations in unexplored areas so any markers you have from before then that you haven't visited yet should now be inacurrate, but thankfully the vegvisirs always point to the current location, so interacting with any again on this verison should give an up-to-date one

that said, it won't delete the old inaccurate marker, that has to be done manually 😅

[hidden hill]

Okay, I looked again and it appears I do have some new markers on my map. I just didn't have it zoomed out enough to see them.

[gilded sluice]

you need to remove the marker and go again to the vegvisir

[tired knoll]

Deconstruct isn't working for me anymore. No mods, vanilla play.

[stark meadow]

Either leftover mods or broken controls. If resetting controls doesn't work. Uninstall the game, clean up your installation folder from lefover files, and only then install it again

You should also check if your middle mouse click works outside of the game on mouse testing sites. Also try rebinding the key for deconstruct actions

[tired knoll]

i have never used mods. And I cannot uninstall, it is not my server. controller is working it happens on and off with both mouse and controller

[stark meadow]

I was referring to your client app, not the server to be reinstalled.
However if the issue is occurring pariodically for both controler and mouse, it's a networking issue.

[tired knoll]

weirdest thing tho: it is always not working on specific build items, others seem to work. So not a networking issues either, because in that case it would happen randomly

[stark meadow]

What items?

[tired knoll]

only some of the beams, but not all beams, only specific beams in my game that i cannot remove

the arm moves, nothing happens

[autumn plaza]

log out/back in

it happens a lot on multiplayer servers

[stark meadow]

First time hearing about anything like that. How old is the world on the server? Did the owner install any mods on it?
Can the item be reconstructed if you relog to the server?

[tired knoll]

ill try to log out and back in

[autumn plaza]

it's not a mod thing, it's a desynch issue from the trash netcode of this game

[tired knoll]

yes that worked.

tx!

[stark meadow]

So networking issue then.
How many of you are on the server atm in that area?

[tired knoll]

right now just me

[stark meadow]

Could you test your buffer bloat on this site?
https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat

[tired knoll]

B

[stark meadow]

And your ping on the server? (type /ping in the chat while playing on the server)

[tired knoll]

118 ms

[stark meadow]

Could be a bit problematic, but nothing you can really do about that if the server is far away.
Do you know how old is the world?

[tired knoll]

couple months

[stark meadow]

Anyone else complaining about the same issue on the server?
Please ask them to check their pings when they'll be around and let me know.

[tired knoll]

nobody is here now, but haven't heard anything in the past, although i am fairly new here so maybe they have

[stark meadow]

Btw. forgot to ask, in which biome is the base?

[tired knoll]

my base in the meadow

[stark meadow]

If this continues to happen a lot, and if everyone on the server is playing on Steam, try asking the server owner to disable crossplay.
You might also ask them how is the server hosted (windows, linux, mac OS,..)

[tired knoll]

ok sounds good

tx

[scenic lantern]

hey does anyone know why my friend is really fast when he joins the server, and anytime he gets hit it launches him into space

[autumn plaza]

is he running client side mods that enhance his character speed?

[gilded sluice]

Launched into space? 😮

never ever heard that issue

[scenic lantern]

yeah, we are using mods but i mean he gets face to face with the world tree its crazy

[gilded sluice]

sounds like mod issue 😄

--> #mods-issues

[scenic lantern]

oh mb, didnt see that channel

[gilded sluice]

no problem 🙂

[olive iris]

Having this issue again, but for the other PC as I'm now the world host.
so uh
i guess we're fixing this again

[stark meadow]

So you are now hosting the world normally or on a dedicated server still?

[olive iris]

Normally still.

[stark meadow]

What ping does the other person have now?
Btw. send me your worlds files, so I can check that base, and if anythign is wrong with it

[flint solar]

Roger. This is the other PC also. It is worth noting though that we've had other friends on the world and they have not had this issue.

[gilded sluice]

do you host on 1 PC and play from another PC locally?

[flint solar]

Yes. Two players, one hosting on one PC, the other connecting on another, wired to the same router.

[gilded sluice]

using Crossplay nor not?

[flint solar]

No, I do not believe.

[gilded sluice]

you opend a bunch of ports in your router?

[olive iris]

Haven't played with opening any additional ports on my router, just used the game's hosting function.

[gilded sluice]

by default, the dedicated server should use crossplay tho

if you press Escape key ingame. do you see the join code?

[olive iris]

Non-dedicated hosting used.

Crossplay, unchecked.

Just from the in-game UI

[gilded sluice]

ok ok

but your friend is able to connect and join?

[olive iris]

Yes, able to connect, join, and play around for a while before her client freezes and then crashes to desktop with no warning, error/crash message, etc.

this has caused us to lose and duplicate many things. Fixable with devcommands/obliterator disposal, but obnoxious all the same.

[gilded sluice]

does any of you use VPN?

or WIFI?

[olive iris]

I did not see a VPN on either of our services list, and I don't remember installing on either.

[stark meadow]

Why were were dealing with disconnecting issues until now if this is about crashing? Disconnecting issues are not the same as crashes.

You were talking about disconnects here: #steam-bugs-discussion message

If your friend is crashing, it's another issue

[gilded sluice]

can you ask your friend from player.log and player-prev.log file?

[olive iris]

I was probably under the impression of mere disconnects before, but when I went to look at it myself, it's crashing.

[gilded sluice]

how did you look at it?

[olive iris]

In person

[gilded sluice]

on your friends computer?

[stark meadow]

What system specs does the crashing PC have?

[olive iris]

Also, I'll go look for those player files.

I'll also retrieve those.

it might be just disconnecting at times, I'll need to ask for more clear information from mum

[gilded sluice]

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

[olive iris]

Yep, that's where I looked for my world files

[flint solar]

Was just disconnecting before, but recently started crashing completely. Okay, time to get those files.

[gilded sluice]

Hm.. funky

could be as simple as "time to do a clean re-install of GPU Drivers"

but I don't see anything crashing

[stark meadow]

You can check PC specs on Steam → help → system information
I see that the PC has 1050ti, but what about CPU?

[olive iris]

ah dang it i forgot to check this.
No crash logs is odd and frustrating, but not surprising I guess

[stark meadow]

Player.log file has to be taked after a crash happens

[flint solar]

shoot

[gilded sluice]

can just press Ctrl+L.shift+esc and look in -> performance tab. CPU

will also tell you hardware

[flint solar]

key combination didn't seem to bring up anything, but here is the processor. wait now it did just had to hold it more

[gilded sluice]

good enough over min-spec

[stark meadow]

Does the PC in question have any crash files on this location:
https://imgur.com/R8sG7lv

[olive iris]

Ah, lemme see.

[flint solar]

No crashes folder.

[stark meadow]

Not the same location

[gilded sluice]

wrong place

[flint solar]

oh, local, not locallow

crash.dmp from today's date

[stark meadow]

Looks like a GPU resolution scaling issue.

Best resolved by reinstalling the drivers cleanly.

[flint solar]

Roger. I suppose I'll be looking for this through NVIDIA's control panel.

[gilded sluice]

D3D11: Failed to create RenderTexture (1600 x 900 fmt 27 aa 1), error 0x887a0005
D3D11: Failed to create RenderTexture (1600 x 900 fmt 19 aa 1), error 0x887a0005

yup yup

seen this alot before

but it wasn't GPU clean re-install to fix it 🤔

[flint solar]

I think I do remember doing that recently and it made things sort of smoother, but still the issue was around.

[stark meadow]

Best to download a new driver if available, and then during installation, chose the custom option and preform clean installation option. You would only have to uninstall current driver if you already have the latest. If you continue crashing after that we can look at scaling issues, G-sync, etc..

[flint solar]

Roger

[gilded sluice]

clean install of nvidia drivers + changing to "no scaling" in nvidia control panel

This is the fix

[stark meadow]

No scaling is the default anyway on clean installation. (aspect ration is)
Which should always work.

[gilded sluice]

usual issue is people open up Nvidia tools and click "optimize"

and then issues like this occurs

https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/57037
this link shows how to do a clean re-install in nvidia

[flint solar]

This will probably help, the Nvidia control panel I'm getting isn't being clear

Now we're getting somewhere. I was able to select clean installation for updated drivers

[gilded sluice]

[flint solar]

Thanks again for the help as well, it's been a demotivating ordeal but I'm looking forward to picking back up again.

[gilded sluice]

as long as your friend don't click the "optimize" option in nvidia program. it should never re-apear

[flint solar]

Roger.

[flint solar]

Had the same crash message while tinkering with graphics just recently.

[gilded sluice]

you?

what resolution does your monitor have?

[stark meadow]

Tinkering with in-game graphics settings or some setting on your nvidia control panel?

[gilded sluice]

1080p? 1440p?

[flint solar]

In-game graphics. Native monitor resolution is 1600x900 I believe.
damn it it did it again while typing

[gilded sluice]

😄

it's the custom settings doesn't work with a early access game

[flint solar]

Maybe I can uh just change resolution toooo 1280x720?

[gilded sluice]

no no

Valheim will just use whatever setting your desktop has

or if you force it in the game settings

[flint solar]

oh i mean via desktop display settings

or, nvidia control panel is actually what I'm looking at

[stark meadow]

Can you test what happens when you:

• enable no scaling in Nvidia control panel
• set lower resolution than your native resolution in Valheim settings
• select full screen option in Valheim settings

[flint solar]

Applied no scaling.

[stark meadow]

The image you should see, should be blurry and stretched after doing all three

[flint solar]

Aaand lowered in-game res to 1280x720, been in full screen as well.

[gilded sluice]

shouldn't need to lower ingame

unless you prefear it like that 🤔

[stark meadow]

It's not a fix I'm suggesting, rather a driver test.

[gilded sluice]

ah ok

[flint solar]

Roger

It is fuzzier as expected, but not stretched as I went for a similar aspect ratio.

[stark meadow]

So it's like the one on the left? (not the right which is blurry?

[flint solar]

No black bars, but it is 720p on what I think is a 1080p monitor.

[stark meadow]

Then it should be streched. What is in game resolution set to now when you go back to check?

[flint solar]

1280x720 currently

[stark meadow]

set it to even lower then

what should happen, is the image getting blurier the lower you go

[flint solar]

Doesn't seem to be any lower

[stark meadow]

What is your render scale setting set to in valhiem settings?

[flint solar]

Looking...

[gilded sluice]

same problem actually excist on AMD gpu's

other sollution tho

[flint solar]

There it is. 90%, but I can probably do 100% again. It was 100% earlier while attempting to solve a previous issue

[stark meadow]

There is no 100%, you have native and automatic

[flint solar]

by stretched did you mean borderless fullscreen, or what would happen with a resolution that doesn't fit monitor aspect ratio stretched to fit?

[flint solar]

Ah, thought you meant this

[stark meadow]

Put that on automatic

[flint solar]

Automatic? Hm.

[stark meadow]

720p resolution stretched across 1080p should always be blurry

[flint solar]

oooh it's one of the slider settings, I was looking for a button

[stark meadow]

Unless you enable exclusive fullscreen mode, which you can do by opening console menu via F5 and typing "exclusivefullscreen". Then you should get black bars. Test that please.

[flint solar]

Ah yeah, it is blurry but aspect ratio fits, I thought you meant like it didn't

Different from this, yes? I will do that.
so far no crash, good sign

Exclusive fullscreen on

[stark meadow]

So, no scaling, lower resolution in game that native, enable exclusive fullscreen, and do you get black bars then?

[flint solar]

i think it just crashed while alt tabbed out, but no, no black bars

[stark meadow]

That would mean that your driver is not functioning properly still

Did you have any other GPU in your system before 1050ti?

[flint solar]

Yes, but I don't remember what it was called

[stark meadow]

Again just to be clean, in this order has to be done:

• no scaling in nvidia control panel
• 720p resolutin in valheim settings and apply
• enable exclusive fullscreen option via console

you mustn't do step 3 before step 2

[flint solar]

oh now i have black bars top and bottom on fullscreen

[stark meadow]

Did you reinstall windows when updating to a new card? Or just the drivers?

[flint solar]

Just the drivers

[stark meadow]

I would generally recommend using DDU software to clean out old drivers in that case. However you can still try one thing.

Return everything to aspect ration in nvidia control panel

Set normal resolution in game, but set render scale setting to native instead of automatic

See if you crash then, if so, I would recommend using DDU software then

[flint solar]

Oh, huh, no black bars while in game

changed render scale to native

[gilded sluice]

native / automatic doesn't matter for PC users

[stark meadow]

Exclusive mode disabled every time you mess around with settings. It esentially resets and has to be enabled again.

But you can forget about that. That was done just to test your drivers.

[flint solar]

Roger

I think everything else should be in place, I guess I'm just waiting to see if the game crashes or not

[gilded sluice]

shouldn't crash 😄

still waiting on a dude from early 2021 to report back on the same issue

[stark meadow]

Try alt tabbing a lot to speed up the process I guess.

[gilded sluice]

(my first time seeing it) 😄

[flint solar]

i guess so 🥴

and there it goes

[stark meadow]

You mean you crashed?

[flint solar]

yes

[stark meadow]

I will DM you the link on how to use the DDU software if you chose to do a deep clean of your drivers.

[flint solar]

No recent crash log from that crash.

Thank

Yeah, I guess I have to do a deep clean.

[stark meadow]

Let me know if even that doens't help.

[flint solar]

Roger. Just need to get that figured out I guess.

I'm gonna do what this guy says
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzvvXUFKL88

[stark meadow]

Better to follow the guide and download link I gave you

Safe mode is required to run the program properly, the oposite of what the guy says in the video

[flint solar]

Oh, did you send it to the other account? I was thinking it was going to be DM'd here

[brave pond]

I can't seem to upload the full crash dump, all I can add is it's actually Win11Pro not win10

I've since reinstalled all my video/display drivers and it continues

I host the dedicated server locally, but I even crash if a friend is hosting peer to peer

[stark meadow]

In what manner are you crashing? (CPT, full system crash, black screen with sound, image frozen, etc..)

What are you system specs?

[brave pond]

@stark meadow thank you for the response; black screen with sound (although not like up to date sound; the server has clearly crashed). i9 13900k, 4080, Win11Pro, everything is super up to date and even the mobo update to handle the i9 glitch

The crash is the same if I'm not hosting as well

It does seem like my card/something there is the one to crash given black screen but continued audio; I even had a podcast running in the background that continued

I've tried to disable some windows watchdog stuff but to no avail

[stark meadow]

Black screen with sounds alludes to that being a GPU issue. It's also common for that to happen during dungeon when a GPU has an issue, especially when loading into one. Usually related to GPU not getting enough power. Do you know if your power supply operates in single rail or dual rail setup? Check if it has a switch that can switch between those.

[brave pond]

That's some great insight, thank you. I believe it is dual rail but I can double check. Higher end corsair power supply and it runs fine with any other game including something like Cyberpunk maxed at 4k

It usually was just after loading into an instance, but if we got swamped with enemies it'd almost always cause a crash

I never looked for a switch, maybe I've been on single rail this whole time :|

Now to find that switch on my psu/gpu. A quick search yielded a result that specifically targets my psu and doing what you're recommending <3

[stark meadow]

Yeah definitely check that, as multi rail setup has over current protection, and can lead to these kinds issues. Similarly how it was causing the issue here: #steam-bugs-discussion message

[brave pond]

You rock friend. I'll look into it and report back

Also are you saying I could also just overclock and use up that extra voltage? I'm sure that'll lead to system stability :D

[stark meadow]

Valheim is a bit problematic compared to some other games, as it has a lot of sudden power spike scenarios that will happen, which often lead to crashes if the system is slightly unstable. Goes for both CPU and GPU, so it can be a bit problematic to find the stable OC configuration.

[brave pond]

Word, thank you- I was just being cheeky :)

[gilded sluice]

Power cable not connected correctly?

The 4080 got the new infamous 12 pin connector that burned down a few GPUs

So unless its realllllly connected correctly. You can have wierd problems

[wheat lagoon]

I've been experiencing the bug reported here (and a few duplicates on the old bug-site) ever since the Vulkan support and now, two years later, the bug is still very much present:
https://valheimbugs.featureupvote.com/suggestions/285367/camera-movement-becomes-very-jittery-vulkan-linux

I'm one of the people commenting on the bug and I've tried replying multiple times before the site was obsoleted, but my response never got approved my the admin. My answer was that the issue does not go away when disabling steam-overlay.
I've tried reporting it in the new bug-reporting system, but I can't seem to find it there. Not sure if it has been removed or if the report failed somehow (without an error message).

The bug doesn't occur when playing using OpenGL instead of Vulkan, but it does make the Vulkan version completely unplayable after 10-20 minutes.
An issue is that the OpenGL version sometimes refuses to start. It crashes right when entering the menu, I believe it can have to do with pre-compiled shaders.
But it would really be preferable to have the Vulkan version fixed instead of having to resort to running OpenGL.

Do you think there is any chance of the issue ever being fixed? Should I just try to report it again in the new bug-reporting system?

[stark meadow]

Steam overlay has to be enabled for the issue to go away.

[wheat lagoon]

Thanks for replying! I'm certain that I have seen the issue both with and without steam overlay, but I will try playing with it enabled and see if it helps. I'll have to come back tomorrow, as I can't test it now.

[gilded sluice]

Hello. We retired the valheim bugs site

[brave pond]

@stark meadow @gilded sluice That cable has been reconnected if nothing else. Also switched to single rail power on the PSU. Had a solid 8 hours of gameplay with no problems; not in situations that would trigger the crash necessarily. Time will tell and I'll keep y'all posted. Thank you again

[wheat lagoon]

Yes, I am aware. But I reported the bug on the new site a few months back, but am unable to see it there. Perhaps something went wrong and I need to report it again.

[marble wolf]

I doubt anyone will have approved it yet.

[stark meadow]

It's not a Valheim issue. Happens in more games and is Steam related.

[gilded sluice]

you cannot see it since no one aproves bug reports on that site anymore
