Sorry if the issue has been previously posted. I hopped on with a couple a friends to play and only one of them seems to have the issue. For some reason at random times the game crashes and one of two scenario happens. 1 He looses all his items and the tombsotone is nowhere to be found, especially if the game crashes when he sails the seas. 2 He respawns, with items, and the gravestone is found and the items are there but he has the items on him as well as he had never lost them. I have no clue how to help him to stop these crashes. He turned off OC for his PC, he has deactivated steam cloud save as when we created the server he was unable to join. When he created the character, it would instantly disappear from the menu and sent him back to the char creation screen.(Deactivating steam cloud has helped with this.)

Has anyone else encountered the above mentioned issue where the game crashes and the inventory either doubles or is nowhere to be found? Thanks in advance for any help.

[stark meadow]

What system specs do they have?

[wheat lagoon]

I mean that I have reported it on the new site. Not the old one. But I referenced the old site, since the old bug report is still visible there.

Oh my god, to my huge surprise, enabling the steam overlay actually makes the problem go away! Thank you so much, I wish I had known this for the last two years...

[feral stone]

the serving tray can place carrots and onions,
but not turnips?
you can place bukeberries but not rotten meat?

[balmy garnet]

you can't eat turnips, and i assume by rotten meat you mean entrails? can't eat those either

[feral stone]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Rotten_meat

[balmy garnet]

oh i completely missed that being a thing yea that's strange, that should be placeable

[feral stone]

i can see turnips, tho. Couldnt remember if those were consumable on thier own

[balmy garnet]

never were, and they originally weren't placeable on item stands either, but that was changed at some point despite them still not being food

[gilded sluice]

due to popular demand

but the serving tray is only for foods you can eat. and you cannot eat a turnip ingame

[winged trout]

I cannot remember if it was an i3 or i5 Intel proc and definitely a GTX 1060Ti

As far as RAM goes, no idea...

[winged trout]

Also to be worth mentioning, the issue has not happened before and game was running very smooth for him....

[noble dagger]

So I’m having an issue with the staff of the wild. If I cast my roots too far away. And walk away even further they fail to despawn. Until I’m in the vicinity again. I had slept, fully eaten, couple days gone by. Went to use my staff and it said I couldn’t cast more and I only had 2 (max staff btw). Went back to an old fortress and could see them in the distances chilling until I got within range. Then they de spawned.

[gilded sluice]

if you press CTRL, Left Shift and Escape keys at the same time. you open task manager

then click "performance" tab

and then you can see your CPU, GPU and memory (RAM) and also the speed of your RAM

[stark meadow]

Is that a laptop or desktop PC? Sound slike it might be a laptop, in which case, they probably have thermal throttling issues.

[stark meadow]

How far were you when you couldn't case them from the areas where they were still there?

[winged trout]

It is a Desktop pc

[stark meadow]

Tell them that the first thing they should do, is reset their BIOS setting to default.
And then do the general fixed secribed in Section4 of this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/uq9b8x/my_valheim_is_crashing_fix_for_crash_guide/
Next time they crash, have them grab a player.log file (Section2 of the crash), and let us now in which manner they crash (crash to desktop, PC restart, black screen with sound, error popup, frozen screen with color, etc...)

[graceful lintel]

so experienced something very bizarre. Had a dedicated server world crash, and it reverted part of the changes in the world to a state as it existed hours before the crash - even after the world had saved numerous times since the changes to the world were made. How's this possible?

[graceful lintel]

also to note resources gathered and stored in chests in another location in the world were retained and not lost. Which indicates to me at least some of the world was saved.

[stark meadow]

What sort of changes did then revert?
How are you hosting the server?
Using mods?

[graceful lintel]

I'm hosting experimentally on a raspberry pi 4 using a Debian os. only using a few client side light weight mods, nothing server side.

I understand this is not an ideal setup. Just trying to understand how this would be possible. are all saves not created equal or can a crash cause some corruption to a world file where it reverts some of the world to a 'safe' state?
@stark meadow

Been running like this for over a year now and never seen anything similar to this (I've seen data loss from a crash because the game hadn't saved since before a crash which makes sense)

only thing I changed recently is I changed the world save from 25m to 3hrs. Opting to rest or manually save instead of relying on automatic save. Though in this instance both manual and auto saves completely successfully per the logs prior to a crash which occured roughly 5hrs after

[stark meadow]

What sort of changes did then revert?

[graceful lintel]

some mistlands trees that were chopped down and a few mist lights a dozen or so I placed.

[stark meadow]

Any those were placed how far back compared to the gathered and stored stuff in another part of the world?

[graceful lintel]

yes they were in way different parts of the world!

[stark meadow]

How far back in terms of time I mean

E.g. Mist torches 5h ago, chest filled 2h ago

[graceful lintel]

I'd say probably -5hrs from crash then -4.5 hrs stored the resources in a chest portaled across the world

[stark meadow]

Yeah, doesn't make much sense. How much RAM on raspberry?

[graceful lintel]

very minimal 4GB 😰 haha

what's strange is I saved manually before logging out then it automatically saved, and then crashed roughly 1-2 hrs after the auto save.

[stark meadow]

Have you tried restoring any of the autobackups to see if there is anything different there?

[stark meadow]

Probably not an issue, but shouldn't hurt to check what happens with RAM if you are manually saving a lot.
The server can technically use more if more players are operating in different parts of the world at different times and discovering new areas.

[graceful lintel]

that's a good idea, I'll have to grab one of the auto backups see if it's different

[graceful lintel]

backup and save complete successfully after per logs well before the crash. (I have log in reverse so latest is at top)

crash from logs

[noble dagger]

I threw them at a spawner in the distance when standing on a wall of a fortresss I took over. There was 4-5 roots at the spawner and then I went to explore and I could only throw 2 down when in battle. Until I returned later cause I was not able to use my magic properly

[iron steppe]

FYI - I can replicate this.

A mob dying after you die (i.e. due to fire) - which starts its death animation loop while you are fading out - will/can result in no loot been dropped, because when the body was meant to "pop" and the loot drop, the area is not loaded.

[stark meadow]

Hm... seems unique to abomination. I see that a troll ragdoll doesn't dissapear when leaving a cell.
Wonder when this started happening. Definitely an issue. Have to check other mobs now.
EDIT: Turns out it's an very old issue

[teal patio]

The tonic of ratatosk seems a bit bugged, it says that it raises skill lvl by 10 but it only raises it by nine

[stark meadow]

It's not specific for this mead. Display of skill bonus can get -1 every time you die and skill drop takes you to 0. Known issue for some time now.

[gilded sluice]

mega old

[iron steppe]

As in the skill itself is dropping more than intended, or just the visual display?

[stark meadow]

Both. If if bothers someone, they can use console commands to reset that skill and raise it by previous amount.

[lean plinth]

A small bug concerning dreams: in DreamTexts.prefab two dream conditions use the non-existent global key "defeated_moder", whereas the global key for defeated moder is "defeated_dragon".
This result in one dream never ceases to show even after Moder has been defeated, while the other dream never show.

[hearty tinsel]

Hello, have no idea if this is the correct place, but i got a issue. I am hosting a server for some friends, but one friend cant connect. He keeps getting failed to connect and the other 2 have no issues. When he starts a game, we can't connect to him, so the issue seems to be on his end, but we have no idea what. Could be something with firewall or ports forwarding but we are noobs on that area. We all have the vanilla game, same version, no mods. Cross-play was deselected and still he can't join.

[stark meadow]

Tell him to disable VPN if they are using it. Sometimes closing the app is not enough as background process can still cause issues, which means that the service running in background has to be disabled.

If you are all on Steam, you can simply disable crossplay before starting the server. Crossplay is not needed in that case anyway, and is often sensitive to CGNAT or VPN if their NAT is strict.

[hearty tinsel]

we are all on steam and crossplay is disabled

He also has a simular issue with Empyrion even thou we managed to play together last week

[tulip trench]

I have Vanilla Valheim without mods or anything else.

I wanted to destroy the stone with a pickaxe - I noticed that its “Blinking” texture looked like 2 identical stones spawned in each other.
At the same time, I can destroy 1 stone with a pickaxe, and the second stone cannot be destroyed by absolutely nothing - it is immortal like sacrificial stones.

Who can help with this bug, how to remove such stones, what to do about it?

[stark meadow]

What happens with the rest of their connection? Lagging on Discord?
As I said, check installed network adaptors in device manager and look for keywords such as VPN.
How are they connected to home router? How is home router connected onwards to the ISP? (fiber, vdsl, adsl, mobile, sateite, ...)
Tell them to try lowering steam browser pings per minute in Steam general settings → In game tab → from 5000 to 250
Let them test their buffer bloat at: https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat

[gilded sluice]

Do you know which stone it is?

A picture could help

[stark meadow]

It can happen to any minerock

[hearty tinsel]

massive lag on discord on his end, couldnt talk and only heared the rest for like 0.5 sec

[tulip trench]

I found two of these.

the first is an ordinary stone, the second is a copper vein

Now I recorded a video about the second one. But I can't send from discord block

[potent marten]

Hi. I have a problem with world [MISSING META]. On a scale to 1 to 10 how screwed am I and can it be solved?

[stark meadow]

3, it's fixable. Did you crash recently or manipulated saves manually?

[potent marten]

I've noticed that Valheim recently failed to pass loadings screen. BepInEx says something about loading player fab. It's stays stuck there. I have to force close Valheim. I haven't touch any files manually, tried to restore a backup as everything is cload saved.

cloud saved*

[stark meadow]

Did you get the message from the game trying to restore meta file for you automatically upon attemping to load the world?

[potent marten]

No

[stark meadow]

Did you attempt to load the world anyway?

[potent marten]

Yes. It's all reset when I load the world. Except character, that's untouched.

[stark meadow]

You should backup all of your saves from these locations before you do anything further:
https://i.imgur.com/mTVKf1J.jpg?4

Then depending on you using local or cloud saves, take a screenshot of your world saves folder and paste it here
Enable file name extensions before that and keep the dates showing

https://i.imgur.com/U0UwiJd.jpg

[potent marten]

It's all cloud. The local files I have are from 2022. I need to make the save procedure first.

[stark meadow]

Even Cloud saves have their file representation on the disk.
The game always saves to disk first, then uploads to cloud (bottom locaton on screenshot)

[potent marten]

That's the worlds folder. I have other worlds as well. The .fwl files are all 1 kb if that matters.

[potent marten]

I'll go ingame and save from cloud to local now?

[stark meadow]

That would be a wrong location. The bottom one from the screenshot is what you need.

[potent marten]

Is this what you meant?

[stark meadow]

Yeah, that's correct location. But I'm not sure what would solution be fore you here, since you are using better continents mod.
These saves are the latest and not corrupt:
To fix your problem, you will probably have to copy these 3 files and paste them to the local location (worlds_local folder in Valheim Appdata where you, not worlds folder but worlds_local)

After copying them, you will have to rename those files so that those files have their name shortened, and end up with:
creative.db
creative.fwl
creative.fwl.BetterContinents

When you are done with renaming, launch the game, press menage saves menu in the starting screen, find your world, expand the backup list for your world, and find this save on the list of your backups.
Notice the date: 202412-14 21:22 and the save should have a disk icon when in the backup manager.
Select that save, press restore button and try loading into your world.

Make sure that you have enough disk space on all of your drive before continuing playing.

[potent marten]

I'll give it a shot.

[potent marten]

It worked. You are an angel and let no one tell you otherwise. What can I do to prevent this from happening in the future?

[stark meadow]

Not sure what this might have happened to you. Probably mod related.
If you keep your save like this, not synced with Cloud, the chances of it happening again will probably be lower now.
Keep that in mind when reinstalling windows, formatting disk or hop to another PC, the save is local only now.
Make sure you have enough disk space on ALL drives.

[potent marten]

Will regulary backup foles to me Drive. Thank you for your time and help. Merry X-mas!

folders to my*

[stable lodge]

Heloo My Frends host a server and toad non of us can join on that server

[tulip trench]

@gilded sluice #steam-bugs-discussion message
that looks like an identical bug

[stark meadow]

If you are all on Steam, disable crossplay before starting the server.
Crossplay in not compatible with all types of NAT (e.g. VPN with strict NAT).

[stable lodge]

aha ok ty broooo

[gilded sluice]

yes that is correct

it happens when the pre-fab is suppose to switch to a mineable rock. but doesn't

[tulip trench]

Can I somehow fix this story myself?

It just so happened that one of these stones is located right at my base.

[gilded sluice]

um. unsure 🤔
you could probable just mega-delete it with a command. but it's not safe 😄

[tulip trench]

Can I expect that this bug will be fixed in the next update?

If not, then you may have to resort to commands, although you really don’t want to

How can I use this command in this case?

[gilded sluice]

no

cannot say neither when the next update will be. or if this specific issue will be fixed by then

the command is forcedelete

you can give it a radius so Forcedelete 5 (will remove all any any things within 5 meters of you)

[tulip trench]

I can try this out somehow by making a duplicate of the world and saves

and test this command there?

[gilded sluice]

oh sure you can

just move files to local, and copy those local files

I usually take manual backups of all my worlds

[tulip trench]

By the way, I’m not very good at GameDev, can this bug be reproduced differently on different operating systems?

I want to run the game on a Mac and see what's there

[gilded sluice]

the game is 99,9999% the same on all platforms

I got it on Mac, steam and Xbox game pass (pc)

[tulip trench]

I checked - this is indeed so.

I just reeeely don't want to use commands in the main world.

I'm trying to come up with workarounds to solve the problem.

😢

[gilded sluice]

well. download the world, make a copy, delete it, overwrite the original, play 🙂

[tulip trench]

For some reason the console does not accept such a command.

Created another world and character to test it out

"is not a recognized command"

[gilded sluice]

you can only use commands locally

and

you need to activate devcommands first

[tulip trench]

hmmm It didn't work out in the main world

[gilded sluice]

problably how you write it is the issue

works fine for me 🤔

[tulip trench]

I tested it before in another world - everything worked. Strange

[gilded sluice]

you need to have the world started locally

cannot do it if you connect to it as a client

[tulip trench]

That's what I do

[balmy garnet]

i'd say try it with a bigger radius since the command has to hit the center of the object to delete it, but add a filter word like forcedelete 20 rock to make sure it only deletes things with "rock" in their ID

[gilded sluice]

depends on what rock it is tho

there are so many

and we only want to remove the "skin" here 🤔

[tulip trench]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CKE0TuQdsprzplNujQDIKrYkLCKAq2wv/view?usp=sharing this stone

[gilded sluice]

telling the game the specific name of a thing only makes it easier to delete that thing specificly.

if you don't specifly, it will just delete EVERYTHING in the radius

so the name don't matter unless you want to nuke an area like 500x500 meter and remove a certain object

[tulip trench]

Hmm, this command does not remove large stones. Small restorations - ok

[gilded sluice]

try larger radius

5,10,15, etc until it's gone

[tulip trench]

I think I understand. It deletes in a certain ball, not in an area

[gilded sluice]

yes

the 5 is a 5 meter cylinder around the player

[tulip trench]

and big and small stones are all “rock”? Is it impossible to drive in some kind of structure ID and so on?

[gilded sluice]

you can find it if you want to

just find the identical stone by spawning it usually

[tulip trench]

Thank you very much for the tour of the console.

[gilded sluice]

you can test spawn items by using

spawn and then add 1 letter. like r

then press TAB key to cycle

so spawn r <tab> and cycle

to find the ID's of things

then just reverse engineer that to then forcedelete <ID> and delete a specific item

for example a common thing griefers do it spawning level 50 trolls in peoples bases

to get rid of them, just type Forcedelete troll 5000

then all troll enemies within 5000 radius, goes bye bye

nothing else is removed

super handy

[balmy garnet]

it does, it'll only delete things with "rock" somewhere in their ID. and if nothing with "rock" in its ID is within the radius, it won't delete anything.

i've been using this command like crazy ever since it was added for all kinds of stuff

if the word you use is too generic, there is a risk of deleting more than you want. "wood" for example is used in a ton of IDs, so that would catch a lot of objects, but "rock" should be pretty safe, i can't remember any non-environmental rock objects with "rock" in their ID off the top of my head

and also like 95% of the rock objects in the game have "rock" in their ID so it's a safe bet.

[balmy garnet]

also keep in mind that the radius comes before the ID, this command would delete everything within the default radius (just 5 meters fortunately) (also the maximum radius is only 50 meters)

[rare dock]

I died and my items disappeared

Why did that happen

[jagged hamlet]

Items gone from your gravemarker?
No gravemarker?

[obtuse lintel]

Might be intentional, but noticed that you don't get any farming skill XP from picking vineberries, and you don't seem to be able to get the bonus yields when harvesting vineberries

[gilded sluice]

unsure 🤔

don't think we should gatekeep vineberries

[stark meadow]

Not intentional cuz it's only smokepuffs and vineberries that you don't get the XP from when picking them up.
More important vineberry bugs have to be fixed before that tho that are also on hold.

[bright kettle]

Game keeps crashing

[stark meadow]

List your PC specs and OS

[bright kettle]

Steam deck

[bright kettle]

Idk the steam decks but its 100% compatiable

[stark meadow]

Are you using external monitor on input devices?
Try launching the game in proton compatibility mode, which has to be enabled under Valheim properties in Steam library.

[bright kettle]

What tabs it under

[stark meadow]

Valheim properties in steam library, then compatiblity tab

[bright kettle]

What does this do exactly

And do i need to sign in to the app it dowloaded

[stark meadow]

Yeah, you will have to sign in. The game runs as if it was on Windows instead of Linux with that option turned on.

[bright kettle]

Which proton do i use

[stark meadow]

The latest, so highest number.

[bright kettle]

Do i got to log into proton

And if so how

And do i play valheim or play valheim using vulkan

[stark meadow]

You should have most performance by using Vulkan.
If you are playing on Steam deck screen itself, I would also advise lowering render scale setting in the graphics menu.

[bright kettle]

Hm thank u for ur help

[stark meadow]

Np, let me know if you continue crashing.

[rotund blaze]

hello i try to start valheim and it doesn't start the game it opens but doesn't start the game
i never used mods and the error started after the last update.

[stark meadow]

On which OS are you playing?
If on Windows, check if your installation folder looks like this, or if you have more files there:
https://i.imgur.com/vdpdeOA.jpg

[rotund blaze]

if I am in windows and I have the files as they appear in the picture

[stark meadow]

What PC specs do you have?
Do you get a black screen, or no game window at all?
If you get no game window of any kinds after starting the game, the best thing to do would be to restart your PC.

Is there a way to get freefly mode to honor invert mouse setting? (regular fly does honor invert mouse setting though)

Also is there a way to get regular fly to use my crouch keybind instead of L-Ctrl for downward movement? (freefly does use my crouch keybind for downward movement though)

If not should I submit a bug report?

[stark meadow]

Ask around in the #mods-discussion It's not as much as a bug as a lack of a feature. Devcommands are there primarily for testing purposes.
Will write it down so that it doesn't get missed on when tweaking console mode.

[lyric mirage]

Bug Query - Is it already known that Seeker Soldiers suddenly turn you face you when you stagger them?

[gilded sluice]

no..? 🤔

[lyric mirage]

They do.

[gilded sluice]

can you screen record it?

mine don't

I stagger it's AoE attack from behind, it staggers, then when it comes out of stagger, it turns around

oh

now I managed

think I've seen it before

[stark meadow]

It's not just about soldiers

Happens to all mobs, think since forever

[gilded sluice]

yeah. I think it's a unity issue 🤔

[stark meadow]

The only problem with it is that mobs like cultist hit you with their flame attack after you stagger them

[hollow lynx]

Hello, does anyone know how to fix this issue when I play on Steam and connect my controller up to it? For some reason I can’t run? I have changed all of the key bind and everything with no success but the funny thing is if I stay on long enough sometimes it starts working again and I can run while holding left bumper. It’s an issue. I really want to try and sort out as it’s slightly irritating me when I’m trying to kill bosses and running away from the mosquitoes. (It’s not the controller it self btw I’ve used a lot of different ones but still same issue)

[stark meadow]

Xbox controller? So you hold L1/LB to sprint?

[hollow lynx]

I hold left bumper (LB) to sprint. I connected up to my PC as I just wanna sit back and relax while I play this game.

[stark meadow]

Which controller? Wired or wireless?

[hollow lynx]

(I have both and tried both still had same issue

[stark meadow]

Which controller?

[hollow lynx]

? I have both I have tried my wire controller and I have tried my wireless controller

[stark meadow]

What type of controllers do you have?

[hollow lynx]

Xbox 1

[stark meadow]

Both are Xbox 1?

[hollow lynx]

Ya I also have a wireless Xbox One X that I tried as well

Including my Xbox Xbox 360 wired

[stark meadow]

I also have Xbox 360, no issues there.
It's unlikely that you have any kind of software issue if you are not using mods.
Xbox controllers are notorious for their bumpers getting faulty. I replaced 2 of my Xbox 360 until I finally switched to PS controllers, after third x360 had dead zone issues.

Are you using any 3rd party controllers apps like ds4 for windows or steam input and have cutom binds?

[hollow lynx]

it’s not the controllers I’ve tried more games I’ve even checked. It’s definitely not the controllers. They fully work fine nothing wrong with them at all they connected by Bluetooth. I also have a special controller made for pc gaming where I plug in a USB and use that controller same issue but after awhile, it just works I can switch the key bind of the run to a different key bind and it’s still the same issue. It’s only sprinting I could be jumping and switch to keep eye to jump to sprint and it wouldn’t work. I wouldn’t be able to sprint.

[stark meadow]

Controller binds can't be changed in Valheim. What app are you using to change binds?
Are you using mods?

[hollow lynx]

(I don’t mean changing binds I’m in switching the controller layout it’s just sprinting that doesn’t work everything else works but yes, I did even try using mod to change key and that didn’t even work so I deleted it as that was the only reason I would have the mod

[stark meadow]

I would recommend cleanly re-installing your game for starters: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/uq9b8x/my_valheim_is_crashing_fix_for_crash_guide/
Section 5 in the guide. Do the registry settings as well

[hollow lynx]

I’ll try that

[thin stratus]

I have a problem, I bought the steam version of valheim after using the xbox version on my pc, ive mangaged to move my character and world over but they are both almost a month behind for some reason and I don't know how to get the up to date file

[stark meadow]

Can you still launch the Xbox version?

[thin stratus]

yeah I can but ive uninstalled it last night

so ill have to download it again

[stark meadow]

Do you remember what you did with saves exactly?

[thin stratus]

well the one from xbox were in the same file as the steam ones so I'm not sure where else i would find them

app data, locallow, irongate, valheim, worlds local

I think I might have to start a new run

its time for a new one I never finished my current run im in the ashlands currently but Ill do this run more smoothly

bye carl😭

[stark meadow]

If you have used the in game manage saves button to move the save from Xbox Cloud to Local, you will have to reinstall the game on Xbox and do that.

[thin stratus]

its all good man im starting a new

[strong trench]

Just wondering if there's a way to have a key to equip say, a helmet from my inventory. Currently, I use my right mouse button to jump, and it won't let me equip something unless I map jump to something else first.

[cedar edge]

above post confirmed, looks like a bug: which i guess should be reported to the official valheim issue tracker:
when i bind:
secondary attack > Back (on the mouse)
jump > mouse-2
it is impossible to 'use' items inventory by right clicking without also jumping, this removes the ability to 'use' an article of clothing as the player is jumping while doing it
reproduced in windows10 and kubuntu24.04

[marble wolf]

So you've bound jump to the use key and wonder why it's not working?

[strong trench]

no

use is bound to "Back" or what used to be mouse 5

[stark meadow]

It's not a bug, rather a lack of feature.

There is not custom binds for various actions, main mause buttons actions included.

[strong trench]

yes. There is no way to separately specify a key for this

There needs to be though

it's a very easy fix that would only take a few mins

[marble wolf]

Well, possibly worth requesting in #suggestions No idea if that's been suggested before, though I imagine it would have.

Does that link actually work incidentally? I can't tell.

[stark meadow]

No, it's not an easy fix. You are supposed to be able to jump while inventory is opened.

[cedar edge]

mhmm, and is essentially the same as my bug which is my mouse thumb button i normally use to run will lock the player in place if i push it, until i release all keys and wait a fraction of a second before pressing anything again. I'm only able to play bogwitch version becasue i swapped that button with 'use'... so now i cant even harvest on the move. It's extremely tedious, and almost certainly a function of the work they did on console controllers and changes made to the input system. Worked perfecctly on pre-bw, utterly fubar on bw

so not a steam bug at all, but theres no val bug channel, and although the opacity of the official issue tracker doesnt inspire a lot of confidence, it does seem to list a similar sounding issue as being looked into

maybe

[meager aspen]

tried joining friends game this is what i see theres supposed to be a base here. it also happened to him when he tried to join one of mine

[gilded sluice]

looks like you're using VPN or something and the data cannot transfer correctly

hence you have the disconnect symbol in the top left corner

[meager aspen]

i noticed that but neither of us use a VPN which is why we thought it was weird, it didnt do it to us last night when we played

we restarted, backed up saves, tried to join different worlds, nothing helped

[gilded sluice]

Hm..

do you guys use the crossplay feature or not to connect?

could also be wifi connection not being able to have a stable connection 🤔

[stark meadow]

No, it's not the same bug as movement stoppimg when using mouse keys. That one is separate and happens on Linux and on Windows for some mice that virtually bind keys like Razer mice. Try Xmouse to bond your mouse keys on Windows.

[cedar edge]

So then it IS a knownissue? It's very difficult to tell from the official issue lists. Hopefully its an issue they are fixing as a priority? Anyhting that suddenly breaks basic mouse button functionality is a bit of a dealbreaker, especially when its difficult to impossible to work around. As a linux user i havent resolced it, and thats extremely surprising given how many tools linux offers to remap/rebind and how efficient I have become at doing exactly that in various other games with similar issues.
In my case the only reason I can play bogwitch at all is becaseu I switched run and use, so now i have to stop and repush buttons any time i push use, but at least i can run. Retraining 20 years of muscle memory that says use and run are now switched is another story though.

[autumn plaza]

Cauldron / Mead Kettle is working without fire - not that i mind 😄

[meager aspen]

it resolved itself overnight or something, but it works now lol. thanks for reaching back though

[flat furnace]

i have this problem also

[gilded sluice]

wifi? adsl? what kind of internet connection do you got?

it's not really a steam issue 🤔

[safe verge]

so i had a mysterious location in the ashlands spawn inside a rock but i cant find the fragment anywhere. even after destroying the rock

[gilded sluice]

Known issue

[stark meadow]

You haven't looked close enough. Spoiler: ||You have to fight a miniboss.||

[safe verge]

already fought reto by chance, this is for the first fragment. looks like the bog witch glitch.

[tropic torrent]

So there are multiple possible locations for the piece. I found a vegevisir in one putrid hole but didn't visit it, went another direction and found another vegevisir in a second hole on the other side of Ashlands. When I went back to visit the first 'Mysterious Location' it was just another Monument of Torment.

Try finding another Vegevisir that will point to a different location for it; it may fix your glitch.

[iron steppe]

if you found the first marker before the patch, then it needs to be redone post the patch. That is the most likely cause here.

[little yoke]

Steam Screenshot not working in valheim [thing i tried , reinstall steam, reinstall valheim, run steam as administrator, change the keybind] when the screenshot button press there is noticeable stutter, opening the steam overlay, the screenshot will initiate normally

[gilded sluice]

you better ask on steam forums

we don't know what problems are on their end

because steam screenshots works flawlessly for me in both clients

[magic maple]

i had one elderberry too many

[marble wolf]

What bug are you reporting?

[magic maple]

the rocks are shifting like crazy in the background

[gilded sluice]

rock shifting?

[magic maple]

It's like AI Minecraft for the hill in the background

[gilded sluice]

that's not a bug

[balmy garnet]

the low detail terrain gradually sinks as you get closer to it to reveal the high detail terrain below.
it's a bit jarring if you pay attention to it, but less distracting and segmented-looking than it would be if it just instantly switched to the high detail terrain

[magic maple]

Ah. I saw it in the corner of my eye and had to do a double-take

[gilded sluice]

it does that :/

and since you don't have the "blurr" effect by distance either activated

it's quite visable

[little yoke]

it seem the problem occur only when using vulkan launch option. The other launch option work just fine (for now at least)
When in vulkan the screenshot work fine up until the title screen.
When in a steam voice call with my friend Screenshot work fine also

[stark meadow]

There's a known issue with Vulkan and AMD cards and taking screens. Happeons on more games.

Look into which options you have enabled in AMD control panel.

[little yoke]

oh nice to know, thank you.

[tranquil seal]

Haven't been on the server for a while and went to record my discoveries next thing i see is two almost perfect circular shapes have revealed much of the map and even the deep north so i wont get the update anymore

also

if nobody has been to the deep north but its slightly revealed on the map will we still get the update or are my 200+hours doomed

[iron steppe]

The “map reveal” is not the same as the zone generation. So if no one has been up there, you should be ok.

Using any mods?

[tranquil seal]

nope im fully vanilla

[iron steppe]

Oh, your on a server? Using cartography table?

[tranquil seal]

yeah my own server

[iron steppe]

One of your friends is using a mod

[tranquil seal]

could be but the thing is i havent been on for a while and it wasnt like this when i left it

[iron steppe]

There is an option to “turn off” the shared map in bottom right.

[tranquil seal]

did that and its gone

so, even if one of my friends may have used a mod behind my back, the actual biome itself can be safe? aslong as they havent been up there

[iron steppe]

Most likely.

Technically there is a way to force zones to regenerate as well I believe using a special dev command. I vaguely remember seeing that somewhere

[tranquil seal]

okay okay, thanks alot for the help, my mood got way better knowing it might still be saveable

appreciate it alot

[iron steppe]

The Bonemaw is not rigged/animated correctly - some of the bones are wrong.

I always thought the Bonemaw looked a bit strange, and I couldnt put my finger on it. But tonight I got some up close video druing one of my speedruns - and you can clearly see the neck is twisted. It "pops" as he moves around, twisting him unnaturally. It is why they look kind of funny compared to a sea serpent that does not have this issue.

Screenshot and short 10 second video attached clearly showing the issue.

No mods at all - pure base game playthrough.

[mystic star]

Hi everyone. I'm currently facing an issue with my character saved on the game cloud; I can't find it anywhere.

Here is what happened:

1. I went into a portal.
2. The portal loading screen kept going on for ages (probably a bug?).
3. I closed the game using task manager cause it wouldn't let me do it otherwise.
4. Reopened the game and the character is gone!
   P.S. I have a few mods installed but I don't think they're the reason.

What should I do? Would appreciate any help.

[stark meadow]

The loading bug is most likely a mod issue. Your character dissappeard cuz you closed the game unexpectedly, it tries to save and failed. You can restore an earlier save via in game manage saves menu available on start screen. However you might need to clean up you save file folder manually first, and remove .stmp fils from it.
https://imgur.com/mTVKf1J

[frigid fable]

i pretty much have to dl a tiny file every single day. why could that be? (btw i'm using R2MM with a few mods, as well as willybachs HD texture pack)

[stark meadow]

Probably steam updates something or your mod keeps overwriting some file that Steam has to replace. No updates feom Devs.

[frigid fable]

ah, okay, thanks - so, nothing to worry about?

[mystic star]

Many thanks, buddy. It worked!

[paper elk]

Im playin on a laptop dell G3. I noticed that after playing for like 2/3h my battery is almost empty. Not sure what the issue is. The only thing I found online is that some guys charging stops upon entering multiplayer world.

[gilded sluice]

Might be your laptop stops charging if it becomes to hot

[paper elk]

That’s not it

It’s at about 70-80 Celsius in valheim

A few times I had it at like 90ish and it was still charging

[autumn plaza]

Google Shows: I have the same problem with the same unit. At first I thought it was a problem it turns out that it is their "Hybrid Power Mode" that makes G3 stop charging while under heavy load.

They say that it will make your laptop work while DELL give us under power AC. The default AC in G3 is 130w

So I tried to use 180w with the same port, Volts(laptop AC usually has 19.5v) & Polarity (which is positive polarity default DELL)

and it turns out it solve my problem. (Hybrid Power my a$$) it is just a lame excuse to give us a low wattage AC. but I understand that G3 is a budgeted gaming laptop so nevermind buying extra AC.

also says that happens when the battery or the charger needs to be replaced

[gilded sluice]

Laptops have alot of settings that needs to be adjusted if someone wants to do gaming 😓

[stark meadow]

Interesting. Had the same problem with a non-gaming dell laptop literally 10 years ago, even in regular use scenario. Supposedly they changed both battery and charger back then, and it helped, for a while, then it came back. Just went for another laptop.

[paper elk]

Ohh Man U have no idea

The only game that has this issue is valheim

[marble wolf]

Pretty sure he does.

[marble wolf]

Nah. Laptops are just rubbish for gaming. Unless you use something like GeForce Now.

[paper elk]

That’s a phrase that’s used when u want to say: you right, a lot more then it should be

[marble wolf]

If I'd wanted to say that, I would have done.

[paper elk]

Not necessarily when u know what ur doin

[marble wolf]

And yet...

[gilded sluice]

Well Yes and no..
Laptops have a trillion settings that needs to be adjusted to allow for some gaming if you play longer sessions

First to buy really is a cooling pad with a biiiig fan (less Noice)

To keep the laptop cool while gaming

But then there are tons of settings to adjust

Hybrid battery mode, cpu settings mode, power settings

Etc etc etc

Ontop of all the normal limitations like XMP and other settings

[stark meadow]

That doesn't strictly mean the problem is in Valheim, rather that Valheim exposes what ever issues your laptop has.
Valheim tends to draw max power from GPUs compared to other games you probably play. Here are similar games that stress the GPU: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5260/~/how-does-nvidia-set-max-frame-rates-for-games-on-geforce-now-for-priority

[paper elk]

I know I have my gpu capped so it doesn’t try to get more then needed

I Have the power settings at max performance

I have bought more ram for my laptop

[tardy moss]

Hello, I am looking for help with an issue related to creating new characters. I have a fresh install on a new PC but when creating a new character nothing happens. I think it is related to Steam cloud saves but have been unable to fix it so far. Any suggestions?

[stark meadow]

You will probably have to reinstall Steam as well, if you most likely reinstalled Windows but kept steam on a different drive.

[tardy moss]

The PC just has 1 drive (C)

[stark meadow]

If you had clean setup and this happened on first character creation, try reinstaling Steam non the less. Could also be a file permission issue. If this happened sometime later after creating first character you will have ro clean up .stmp files from folder where character saves are at.

[tardy moss]

I will try this thank you!

[autumn plaza]

I've seen issues where characters don't show up / the name is taken when they were previously on a modded server that the base game can't recognize the data for it.

[tardy moss]

I did a fresh install of steam and Valheim and the existing characters are there but am unable to create new characters. Any other help or ideas?

We can turn off cloud saves and make new characters, but then all the cloud saved characters and worlds are gone.

[wintry apex]

Have you considered to put the cloud save characters on a backup (like usb), then delete them completely and try again?
Could be one of them is corrupted.

[tardy moss]

I do have a backup so I could try that, is there any way to tell which character is the corrupted one?\

[wintry apex]

Nope. You should try them one by one.

Also, if you're able to create new characters when you're not using cloud saves, I'd say the problem is most likely with Steam and not with Valheim.

Have you checked at the Steam Forum if there's anything listed over there about similar problems?

And have you actually tried to play with any of the characters in the cloud save?

[tardy moss]

I haven't I am out of my depth here. Everything else is working fine on steam. The new PC was purchased just to play Valheim lol. I am not super technical, not sure what went wrong

The other characters on the cloud saves are playable

but when creating a new character it just disappears instantly

[wintry apex]

If you create a new character while not using the cloud save, then exit the game, enter it again, turn cloud save on.... Does the new character show up in the cloud save?

[tardy moss]

Changes made on existing worlds with cloud save are updating, so that is working

[tardy moss]

Making a character locally it will appear. Once cloud saves are turned back on the character is gone again

I can see the character under manage saves with the suffix fch.new but it does not appear with the other characters

[wintry apex]

If you mean on your PC, those are the locally stored characters.

[tardy moss]

It shows the cloud icon beside it in game under manage saves

Unable to create new worlds either

[wintry apex]

Just a silly thought but......

Your cloud save isn't filled up to the brim, is it?

[stark meadow]

Have you tried reinstalling Steam like I suggested?

Or check for .stmp files?

Open you save location via windows explorer, enable file extensions and check if any file ends with .stmp
Since you are using Cloud save, you have to use the location listed at the bottom part of the screenshot:
https://i.imgur.com/mTVKf1J.jpg?4

[tardy moss]

I did reinstall steam but the issue persisted. I did not see any files ending in .stmp. I ended up copying all the saves from the cloud folder, disabled cloud saves, and copied the saves into the local folder. New characters can now be created so I am just not going to use cloud save any longer and hope for the best

Thanks for your help

[willow estuary]

Hey, when one of my friends tries to join me, this is how everything looks, and no trees load in or anything. As you can see, in the top left of the screen there is some icon, could someone please tell me what the problem is? (Also, he can load into his own world without a problem with the same character)

also, I would like it if you could either DM me when you think, or just DM me if you answer, because I might not see that I have gotten a reply

[marble wolf]

That icon says you're having a bad connection.

[willow estuary]

ohh, so is the problem with me and my server, or he he having a hard time connecting because of internet fault

NVM, I fixed it

[trail dove]

What was the solution? you know in case it happens to someone else

[willow estuary]

ohh yeah

well, All I did was turn off crossplay, and then he could join

[plucky galleon]

guys someone play with mods here?

[wintry apex]

If you have a problem caused by mods you may take a look here: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599

[willow estuary]

☝️

[plucky galleon]

no one answere on the shanel that why im talking about this here

[marble wolf]

It's still the correct channel to ask your questions.

[wintry apex]

Also, there's no need to ask the same question in multiple channels.
Those who use mods will see it sooner or later and reply to it. Or not.

[plucky galleon]

can you go on the mods issue??

[wintry apex]

I'm not using mods, so I won't be able to help you anyway.

And also:

It's New Year's Eve.
A lot of people who play Valheim may be celebrating that with friends or family or simply being out to a pub or something to have a good time.

You may have more luck tomorrow at day time when more people are around. Although I won't guarantee they're all sober.

[plucky galleon]

if you have not idea about that please dont talk

[marble wolf]

Ooh, you're not lasting long in this server, are you?

[trail dove]

You seem like a nice fella.

[wintry apex]

With all due respect, mate, but you asked a question and I replied to it.
I even gave you some free advise which you didn't ask to make it easier for you to get that answer from the right persons at the right time.

But if you're going to use the attitude of "don't talk to me if you don't know things", I and most likely many others will not help you next time.

I - and many others - help players who come here because we want them to enjoy the game in a similar manner as we do.
Not to be slammed in the face by some brat who thinks that he'll get around showing no respect.

[plucky galleon]

you com to talk like "there's no need to ask the same question in multiple channels" If you don't know about my problem, don't write, or if you want to say something about it, say you don't know and that's it, you came to dictate to me right away, that's why I immediately wrote what I wrote.

[marble wolf]

Yeah, that nonsense is worth a report.

[plucky galleon]

do it

[marble wolf]

Oh, I have, trust me.

[plucky galleon]

bro its just another server of discord and that not gonna change my life but your maybe cuz you are a screenhero not you?

[plucky galleon]

It's good that not all the community of this game is like you

[trail dove]

I think the community prefers him.

[random fern]

Having an issue on a local multiplayer game I am playing with my wife. We are about 250 days in and all of a sudden, she can no longer see our base or the terrain modification we made. Having strange anomalies with showing visibility of what we are trying to build.. tried reverting to a previous world save and no luck.. tried verifying integrity of game files.. we do not have a VPN and it is not a dedicated server.

[trail dove]

Someone else was having a similiar issue earlier. They turned off crossplay and it fixed it

[willow estuary]

yeah

[plucky galleon]

well that is their choises

[stark meadow]

Can she see you playing, but not the base?

[random fern]

Did not have it on

[wintry apex]

@Bitenose The mentioned problem / post can be found here: #steam-bugs-discussion message

and the answer with the solution: #steam-bugs-discussion message

Perhaps it's worth it to see if your problem is the same as the one in the first link?

[random fern]

Yes.. we can see each other.. we could interact with an exclave outpost.. then when we sailed back to our main base/island.. she couldnt see the base or terrain modifications made.. we had some weird anomalies a few hours earlier as well with interacting with doors at some outposts

[wintry apex]

You playing over LAN, I asume?

[stark meadow]

Do you have a boat in the base that she can see, like a karve? If so, destroy it and rebuild it.

[random fern]

Playing over local internet.. we are on the same router

[wintry apex]

It may be a 'simple' lag issue.
One solution could be to both closing the game, then re-starting it, loading the world and see how things are when you two join the game.

It's also a good idea if the one having the best computer being the host. (If you didn't do that already).

And before you reboot the game after closing it, it's better to wait about a minute to make sure all left overs are removed from any memory banks and cache.

[random fern]

Tried full power cycle on both computers, verified installation, tried logging on with another character... buildings are still not loading.. can only see the boat we were on

[stark meadow]

Destroy all the boats there and rebuild them.

[random fern]

Thank you very much, @stark meadow . destroying boat and rebuilding it seemed to do the trick.

[jade patio]

sorry, I know there are probably a lot of posts like this, but my Valheim absolutely refuses to launch. I tried everything I can think of and still every time I try to launch it gets to the "Coffee Stain Presents" screen and then just stays there forever. Can anyone help?

I've spent a few hours googling and trying the solutions people suggested on reddit/steam forums and nothing has worked

[marble wolf]

Have you previously used mods?

[jade patio]

I have never used any mod

[marble wolf]

Have you verified your files in Steam?

[jade patio]

and when I uninstalled I deleted the valheim folder from windows explorer

[jade patio]

yes, and I uninstalled an reinstalled both valheim and steam

[marble wolf]

Are you using DirectX (default) or Vulkan?

[jade patio]

I've tried both and neither will launch

It stays on that "coffee stain presents" screen until I click anywhere and then it says "Valheim is not responding" and crashes, but on steam it still says the program is running. If I click "stop" it says "stopping" and just stays that way forever. I've tried clicking "stop" and going to bed and when I wake up it still says "stopping". The only way to stop that is to restart my computer

I've tried disabling antivirus and making sure no other program is running and it still won't launch. It worked totally fine until a few days ago when I unplugged my computer, moved it to a different place in my appartment, and plugged it back in, and now it won't launch

[stark meadow]

Try going to start → type reliability history → check errors there and what updated recently

You can also grab player.log file and DM it to me for inspection

Located at %username%\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim

[jade patio]

thanks a lot, I will try this

You can see how many times it crashed as I kept tweaking things and trying over and over to launch lol. You can also see me updating things and deleting things to see if that would help

there's a lot more that doesn't show up there. I've been at this for days. I started a new save file because I wanted to try to grind my way to the ashlands and just got there recently so it would be really disappointing if I just have to give up on the game now

[lyric mirage]

How does your last successful launch of Valheim relate time-wise to those four Microsoft updates? They all seem to quite nicely pre-date your first launch issue.

[jade patio]

@stark meadow helped me solve the issue in dms

for posterity, the issue was that I had plugged my computer into my big tv to stream a movie, and then plugged it back into my monitor, which fucked with the resolution. He had me put something in the launch options which forced Val to launch in a tiny window and then manually fullscreeen it, which fixed the issue

[lyric mirage]

Ah, nice. glad you solved it 🙂

[faint apex]

Got an issue, so, I keep trying to connect to community servers, ye?
But I keep getting an "Enter password" prompt despite the server not having the key icon next to it, any reasons why?

There is no servers without a password.

All servers are hosted by players

[faint apex]

Good to know, well then.

Wonderful!

[grizzled void]

I really feel like the hide on top of the bed is way too pixelated. even for valheim standards.

[graceful jetty]

encountered a bug where boat takes 10 damage every 2-3 seconds, relogging didn't work. Does anybody know a fix by chance?

[wintry apex]

It's caused by a lag-bug in co-op games. KNown, but somehow the devs aren't able to solve it (yet).

Best solution I can think of is to stop along a shore every once in a while, drop a workbench, repair, demolish workbench and sail on.
And perhaps hosting the game on the person with the best PC and internet connection to reduce the chance for the lag.

[gilded sluice]

sometimes changing who drives the boat can help

[cunning flame]

Seem like the texture didn’t load correctly, maybe because of a lag or poor connexion during content loading ?
I don’t think it will last forever, quit the area and comeback ?

[marble wolf]

Oh great, it's children hour.

[jagged hamlet]

He subjected the children to the boot?

[robust rain]

Just a lil thing.

[gilded sluice]

Yeah... :/
I made list of all the food and item that is either invisible or flying or burried deep into the itemstand 😦

[robust rain]

Also yesterday, I placed a Troll potion down with the tray, then removed it with the tray to replace it, and it just disappeared. Wasn't in my inventory, or ground, nor did I drink it

[jagged hamlet]

It might be floating in a vast sea of blackness, all alone and scared.

[robust rain]

I used freefly to check underground, it wasn't ^^

[gilded sluice]

find troll potion ability to see if it was mega-deleted 🤔

It might have disintegrated into nothingness.

This seems like a bug. I have enough gold to purchase 'Powdered Dragon Eggshells' from the Bog Witch, and a partial stack of them in my inventory. But, I can't buy more and am getting a "No space in inventory" error.

(Don't hate me for being too lazy to crop properly).

Additional info - freeing an inventory slot allows purchase, and adds to the existing stack (edit: and thus doesn't occupy the freed inventory slot)

[balmy garnet]

hey guys my game seems to be glitched i cant move or touch the items in my inventory slots from 1-6 hotbar row and first row

[low ocean]

Youve asked this in four channels...

[stark meadow]

Have you used mods before? Tried reinstalling the game?

[low ocean]

Many have answered that already in other channels. Might be problem with Discord in the background, someone said.

[gilded sluice]

pretty sure it's a mod issue

seen it 100's of times when a person comes back, old mod-loader still is active. interact button stop working

classical bepinex outdated issue

[silent lichen]

hey guys, when i go to "manage saves" the game stuck at please wait for hours,
i am truying to change my save world from cloud to local

[mortal lance]

guys the game is not using my dedicated gpu?

[bright coral]

On Linux, macOS, or Windows? And is it only display that's not going to your dedicated GPU or is it compute not going there either?

If your GPUs are detecting/driving multiple displays, you can troubleshoot display using:
valheim.x86_64 -monitor 0 or valheim.x86_64 -monitor 1 on Linux

open -a Valheim.app --args -monitor 0 or open -a Valheim.app --args -monitor 1 on macOS

valheim.exe -monitor 0 or valheim.exe -monitor 1 on Windows

If you aren't using OpenGL, you can troubleshoot compute(+display) using:
valheim.x86_64 -force-device-index 0 or valheim.x86_64 -force-device-index 1 on Linux

open -a Valheim.app --args -force-device-index 0 or open -a Valheim.app --args -force-device-index 1 on macOS

valheim.exe -force-device-index 0 or valheim.exe -force-device-index 1 on Windows

Depending on your GPU set and drivers, you might have indices above 1 you can substitute in those commands.

[sturdy salmon]

When I go between my broken roofs, it shakes.

[stark meadow]

Turn off camera share in accessibility setting if it bothers you

[sturdy salmon]

doesn't bother but is it a bug

[stark meadow]

Have you used mods? Have you checked if you have enough free storage space on all of your disks?

[stark meadow]

I don't see it that way. You are standing on angled surface, and when standing on high enough angles camera will shake by design. Easily avoidable. No need to fix.

[stark meadow]

If you are on windows, you can select your dedicated GPU as primary device, both in Windows graphic setting and control panel of your graphic card.

So you have only one disk, and that disk has 300GB storage?
Does your Valheim installation folder look like this? https://i.imgur.com/vdpdeOA.jpg<

Is it a world save or character save that you get stuck on when attempting to move it?
Check how that save folder looks like in windows explorer, and post a screenshot of it.

And i am trying to move a world save from cloud to local so i can copy it for a friend.

[gilded sluice]

where is your monitor cable connected?
To the motherboard or to the GPU?

[mortal loom]

hi guys, ı am having an fps problem, this is started to annoying me really. is there anyone help me on this?

[stark meadow]

Please describe the problem in more detail and list your specs.

[mortal loom]

its called memory leak ı suppose ı tried to solve this with every way

my specs;

13th intel i7 / 32g ram / rtx 4060 8 gb

[stark meadow]

In what scenarios do you have low FPS? How much low FPS? How often does it occur? Does game restart help?

[mortal loom]

its a laptop but ı am using a monitor. its 165hz connected to the laptop with dp. what ı learned the game will work on 60fps more efficently. so ı locked the fps 60. in game and in nvidia panel. turned off the game mode. checked the power mode (performance) checked the virtual memory. give priaorty to the game. tuned off all the background apps. ı am playing the game on steam but also using mods from r2modman. ı am sharing my mods with an image below. tried to using vulkan but it does not work. the game installed on ssd and ı have 100gb more empty space on it. the problem is when ı started the game everything is normal. stabilized on 60-50 fps. but after 1 hour its started to decrease. 40,30.20 until 6 fps! after that ı have to restart the game. then all over again. every hour ı have to close the game an reopen it. its really annoying and ı cant find the way. ı also checked the data on cpu. its around 4020mb (%25-30) when its started to decrease.

[stark meadow]

Sounds like a mod problem. We don't deal with mod related bugs here. For that you can try asking in #mods-discussion and #mods-issues
There are no known vanilla issues that would slowly degrade performance over time.
When you get to 6 FPS, does that 6 FPS still apply when you teleport somewhere else outside of base?
The only thing that you should definitely be checking regardless of playing vanilla or modded, is the temperature of your CPU/GPU
I recommend HWiNFO tool and checking which0 MAX temp values you hit after that issue happens (not AVG temps).
That's the most common system related caus for low FPS for laptops and 13 and 14th gen CPUs

[mortal loom]

yes still proceed as in 6 fps when its down. its only fixed when ı restarted the game.

laptop does not open all the fans during the low fps. ı do not think its because of temperature

and the laptop its new. ı bought that 5 mouth ago. also using a cooler front it

[stark meadow]

It's most likely a mod issue, as temp issues cause stuttering mostly. However you should still check your temps rather than guessing it's not an issue.
It's not hard to check and you gain nothing by ignoring it.
From vanilla issues that affect performance you have implosion of ore nodes in a single hit, which my cause low FPS when returning to the base.
That one usually clears up when you leave the base, so it's probably not the issue you've been dealing with.

[mortal loom]

okay you re right. ı will check my temp

thank you btw

[gilded sluice]

Disable all mods, see if the problem still exists

[mortal lance]

Did all the stuff listed by you. Still the same issue😭

[mortal lance]

It's a laptop. Want me to give the specs?

[stark meadow]

Yeah, list your specs

and laptop model

[mortal lance]

Dell g16 7630
16 gigs ddr5 ram
1 tb SSD
4060 8gb

I don't have a external monitor yet

[mortal lance]

.

[stark meadow]

Can you DM me your player. log file? Reachable from main menu "show player. log" button in bottom left corner.
Have you tried restarting your laptop or reinstaling graphoc drivers?

Power cable properly attached?

[mortal lance]

Yes

[mortal lance]

Didn't reinstall but updates and everything i checked

[mortal lance]

Dm'd u

[bright coral]

I didn't see if you answered my question on which operating system you're using. Your graphics driver may not be making the Optima switch at the right time or it may not properly enter the right power profile.

• You might try the latest firmware release if you haven't already: https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=r0k07&oscode=w2021&productcode=g-series-16-7630-laptop&lwp=rt
• Dell laptops with Intel processors have an overly sensitive movement sensor that will trigger low power profile and can theoretically affect the switch to discrete. On Linux, you can disable this by adding intel_ish_ipc to your module blacklist. On Windows, you can go to Device Manager/System Devices/Intel® Integrated Sensor Solution and disable it. If this doesn't solve the problem, you might consider re-enabling it.
• It'll be a pain, but you might be able to disable Optima in the BIOS while you're gaming to have it stick to discrete GPU.
• If you have Windows, there's a strange flow to force performance power mode using Dell's Alienware Command Center Application if you are finding it switching to lower power even with the ISH driver disabled:

[high crest]

Does anyone know of a mod or tool that fixes the save issue on dedicated servers? Many times, I'm sailing, need to stop playing, click save, close the game, and when I reopen it, I'm in the sea, far from the boat. I've already lost hours of gameplay because of this problem.

[stark meadow]

Your game is probably not closing properly and not executing the saving of your character location. Usually related to abruptly closing the game or due to graphic drivers not working properly thus effectively causing the game to crash on exit.

Saving before logging out does nothing when playing on dedicated server as a non-admin, because as the act of logging out will anyway initiate a character save.

[undone quarry]

cant craft certain items/feast I have all the materials is it something wrong with my world seed or what

[wintry apex]

Did you defeat the boss related to that biome's feast?
It's one of the requirements for the feasts to appear.

[undone quarry]

yes it was the plains one

[somber flare]

I've been away from Valheim for a bit and just came back. I am in playtest mode. My graphics settings reset themselves to default settings every time I start the game. I turn off items like sun shafts because it hurts my eyes. Why is the game constantly resetting to default graphics?

[wintry apex]

Plains feast or plains boss?

If you've defeated Yagluth, did you build the required table for it, did you get the serving platter and ingredients from the Bog Witch?
And have you crafted all plains food at least once?

[undone quarry]

ive defeated the boss cant remember if ive made every plains food tho ill test that out

i have gotten the platter and ingredients from bog witch

[tranquil tree]

is there a fix for the game crashing WITHOUT SAVING if you alt tab on linux?

Started happening with the bog witch updates

solved

changed to proton experimental and run with vulkan

[ember quartz]

Playing Valheim on steam, after less than 1 minute my computer crashes with a green screen and shuts off, only happens with valheim. Anyone have an idea and also I dont think there are logs becasue i cnat find them in my files

[stark meadow]

Entire system crashes? Which specs do you have?

[stark meadow]

Yeah, it's a Unity/AMD issue and we are waiting for a fix on the engine level. Some people reported switching to AMDVLK (AMD drivers) helping (e.g. Arch Linux).

[stark meadow]

You have to build preparation table to make feasts.

[stark meadow]

On which platfrom are you playing? Steam? There are no known issues that would cause graphic setting to rest. Were you playing with mods?
You'll probably have to wipe out the registry settings for Valheim graphic options.

[ember quartz]

Yes entire system crash
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900x 12 core
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT
Memory: 16gb 1800 MGHz

[undone quarry]

@stark meadow yeah still cant craft

[stark meadow]

If you've beaten the Yagluth, have preparation table, bought spices and have all previous ingredients, and it still doesn't work, you will have to reinstall the game.
Have you used any mod organisers lately for other games or Valheim?
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Feast

[gilded sluice]

do a clean re-install of your GPU drivers 🤔

[undone quarry]

Nope just standard

[ember quartz]

ok

[stark meadow]

My suspicion would be on 5700XT. Some AMD cards from some manufacturers are not stable at default high clock and power usage, and most games don't push the card to go there. Valheim does. The fact that you have green screen issues also points to GPU failing. I recommend doing general fixes that I listed in Section4 of this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/uq9b8x/my_valheim_is_crashing_fix_for_crash_guide/
Before doing them, you should also monitor your GPU temps in a text log format where you can check which MAX temp was reached before crash. I recommend HWiNFO tool.
If general fixed don't help and temp is fine, you'll probably have to manually downclock/downvolt your card.
Check if you can draw any info from other logs that I listed in Section2.

[gilded sluice]

https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/comments/nuvbzc/im_plagued_by_the_notorious_5700xt_green_screen/

yeah

almost a "known" issue on the 5700XT 😦

[keen delta]

Weird

[minor prawn]

I need help, i never open my main server since 2021 after i found mistland area, and now i play again a month ago but my mistland biome still has big trees and spider web. How to update all biome? because i spent almost 200hours on that server and i won't make new server, it will hurt me if i must start from beginning..

[somber flare]

No Mods. Just Vanilla with public test set up.

[stark meadow]

Unexplored Mistlands location should have new locations. If you want to update already explored Mistalnds locations, you can look into using mods like Upgrade World which have capability to reset old explored biomes while preserving bases.

[stark meadow]

So Steam?
Try deleting Valheim registry entries:

Click on Windows start and type regedit or registry editor.
Manually navigate to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\IronGate\Valheim.
Delete this Valheim folder: https://i.imgur.com/pJ90jaP.jpg

After that open graphic card control panel, select Valheim game profile and restore it to default + no further tweaking.

[somber flare]

I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it. I just tested it and the game seems to be retaining my settings for now. Thank you for your help.

[iron steppe]

Isn’t there a dev command to reset a zone for re-calculation? I vaguely remember hearing about it

[stark meadow]

No. Genloc is a command that will only update unexplored areas.

[gilded sluice]

there is no vanilla command to do that

[hexed dagger]

@gilded sluice hi

My controller works even when disabled. Is this a bug?

[gilded sluice]

probably not

usually controllers need to be enabled on all places

[hexed dagger]

can i call you privately

[gilded sluice]

no

it's a sunday

and I don't have time to sit down with a call with every user to help

[hexed dagger]

I have a video of this bug

[gilded sluice]

don't think it's a bug tho

there are like 4-5 places to enable and disable controllers

• more if you count simulated flight controllers

[hexed dagger]

my controller is disabled and i can control the character

[gilded sluice]

https://valheim.com/support/

leave the bug report here

I got to get back to family dinner now

[hexed dagger]

thanks

[magic maple]

i'm not sure if this is valheim specific but omtimes this happens when i'm switcghing between va;heim and for example discord. anyone know what's happening?

[shrewd kiln]

Anybody notice nametags of people in your vicinity showing up on the edge of your screen even if they arrent actually in view.
They are behind me on a roof on my left side about one story and I'm looking out away from them, ground level, maybe about 5 meters/wall lengths away. I wiggle my camera around and noticed half their name tag pops in and out randomly but I have to aim it just right. I can even follow their movements. No Mods active. Vanilla experience

[stark meadow]

It's a windows issue. You can press alt+enter to enter fullscreen for such apps.

[magic maple]

I'm talking about the stripes

[stark meadow]

Does it go away after game restart?

[shrewd kiln]

I'll see here in a bit.

[stark meadow]

What stripes? Thought you are talking about the task bar and the windows showing it instead of only switching to the game in fullscreen.

[magic maple]

Checking this on mobile, they don't show on a screenshot, but basically there's stripes that are about the size of a small cockroach and some are a bit higher than where they appear to be, while some are lower. When happens again I'll take a photo of the screen.

[stark meadow]

If they don't show on screenshot. It's probably a monitor related issue. Do you have HFR enabled?
Them not showing up in screenshot could also be related to when the screenshot gets captured (launching the game in Vulkan vs d3d11, and using F12 (steam screenshot) vs F11 (in game screenshot) can capture screens at different times and capture different post processing effects and artifacts. You should test all combos, and if these don't show up on any, it's likely a monitor issue, might be related to the cable as well, GPU producing artifacts due to it being on high power usage or high clock.

[magic maple]

Hmm, I'm using a laptop. Could this be because of overheating?

[stark meadow]

Yeah, it can. You actually reminded me that I had something similar as well due to overheating on my laptop.

[magic maple]

So that's why it happens more often in the ashlands

[stark meadow]

I recommend checking which MAX temps your laptop reaches when gaming Valheim to be sure, best to use HWiNFO tool (checking MAX temps is better than AVG temps).

[gilded sluice]

how old is the laptop?

[high blade]

The sitting log arrow does not point in the direction of the character when sitting on it as you would expect.

[tender spire]

Strange thing happened to me. I made a New Seed. Played a Older charater ,just striped her to nothing. Still have the skills and such. In this new seed. I have not kill Stag Boss < can't spell> .Yet i experanced a Troll raid. How? That even isn't suppose to be in my raid pull until i defeat The Elder , least that I thought. Anything change that I'm not aware of?

[iron steppe]

raids can be tied to your player progression depending on the world settings

[tender spire]

Thought more was involved.

[stark meadow]

There's a known bug that will cause old characters to triger raids in a new world.

[iron steppe]

is it a bug - or design decision? Because the code clearly links some raids to player flags, rather than world flags, so was that intended?

[tender spire]

I thought the Troll Raid was also linked to death of The Elder? So if Elder hasn't died in that seed. That Raid should not happen?

[bright coral]

If a player has killed a troll, they are susceptible to the troll raid, even if The Elder hasn't been defeated.

[gilded sluice]

yes

usually if you have "player based raids" enabled in the world settings

[fervent magnet]

The Queen flew our of the map after getting to Quarter health

What should I do

[stark meadow]

Check if she is outside of the dungeon.

[fervent magnet]

Nah she ain't

[stark meadow]

Have you ever used console commands?

[fervent magnet]

Yes, not in this play through though

[stark meadow]

I wonder what you would get if you were to use ||find seekerqueen ||command.
The command should locate her if she's near by.

[fervent magnet]

...

Wait a few mins

[stark meadow]

She might be on top of the dungeon cliffs as well, but can be stuck in the dungeon walls also.

[fervent magnet]

It didn't work

She doesn't exist

So women really are THAT afraid of me huh

[stark meadow]

The command didn't find her? Does find command work in general (test finding something else, like ||find entrance||)

Never heard of her just plainly disheartening as of yet. Are you using mods?

[fervent magnet]

Nah no mods

[fervent magnet]

Other things work, she just doesn't exist

I think she got sent so far that she just despawned or something

[stark meadow]

How did she catapult? She did a lunge attack? Was she on some weird place, like edge of stairs or something?

[fervent magnet]

Nah she just popped out of existence

Then returned like 8 seconds later

Then got sent to the wall on the left

And then disappeared

[stark meadow]

Were you playing in multiplayer?

[fervent magnet]

No

[stark meadow]

If you can, send me your world file so I can search for her. You can probably restore an earlier backups of your world to get her spawn again, or spawn one via devcommands.

[fervent magnet]

Maybe she just got clipped into some random building block and got sent idk

[fervent magnet]

I'll prolly use devcommands to respawn her honestly

[gilded sluice]

you can use forcedelete seekerqueen

to not spoil the fight

[desert meadow]

Small issue I just found with the Scythe. I just maxed it out and on the forge menu it says that the scythe has 800 durability while when you hover over it in your inventory it has 600.
Nothing game breaking, just a little inconsistency.

[gilded sluice]

Hm.. shouldn't be possible

ah

it shows you "next" level in the upgrade window

so it shows you a level that you cannot level to

[desert meadow]

I see you're right, just checked with some other tools and it's doing the same thing

[gilded sluice]

phew

you scared me there for a sec 😄

[pearl hatch]

There's no fire in this crypt, but the game thinks the entire crypt is within range of a fire. So everywhere I go I'm resting

[marble wolf]

You're stood next to one...

[pearl hatch]

What? No, that's a torch

[stark meadow]

You have the fire outside probably. It's a known issue.

[pearl hatch]

Okay good to know. No fires outside the crypt, but there is one in another crypt about 80 - 100m away - well outside the fire buff range, yet the buff fills this entire crypt. Perhaps it's a bug with the range limit.

[stark meadow]

It's more of an issue with transitioning from having fire effect to wet. Something got messed up when some other fire related bugs got fixed last time.

[opal tiger]

cool bug I found in the the world me and my friends played in for over 4 years

it has so much potential for base building

[gaunt mist]

That's not a bug, it's the terrain change in already explored area near Ashlands border before the initial patch. POIs are on top of those pillars and small boulders, trees and bushes fall slowly on surface as they cannot stay up and large boulders and silver nodes stay where they have rendered.

[tender spire]

just strange having Troll raid when NO bosses have been defeated. Shrug

[gilded sluice]

do you guys have player based raids enabled?

[glossy pagoda]

Gamepad glyphs switch back to Xbox from PS every time the game is booted up.

[stark meadow]

Your controls setting might be messed up due to switching versions in PTB or via mods.
Try resetting them. If it doesn't work, reset them manually by wiping out registry setting and deleting Valheim folder.
#steam-bugs-discussion message

[stable cliff]

got here in discord also for this specific issue, seems raid rules went a bit bananas after the bog witch, did some testing (no dev commands) and it's very strange

player based raids turned off, never turned on once actually, and seems some raids stick to the player as glue

[gilded sluice]

Hm... 🤔

[stable cliff]

one of my secondary characters got troll raids with these conditions:
-never killed any boss in any world
-killed trolls, but in a world where not even Eikthyr was ever summoned
-only character that ever bought/drank the love potion, i first tought it was an hidden side effect of that potion

started a new world with that character, with raids set to much more and obviously player based raids turned off, made a small base near sacrifical stone and just waited:
-after 6 Eikthyr rallies there comes the Troll raid
so i went on testing

Test number 2: brand new character, brand new world, troll potion brought from outside, killed a troll:
-10 consecutive Eikthyr rallies, no sign of troll raids, so i discarded the potion hipotesis

Test number 3: my main character:
-killed first 5 bosses in other worlds
-killed trolls, surtlings, wolves and bats in other worlds
-never drank love potions
-started a new world with much more raids
-first ten raids: 3 Eikthyr rallies, 4 Bat raids, 2 Surtling raids, 1 Troll raid
-i assume it would be wolves too, but i stayed in the meadows so it could not be triggered

This is very strange because also the first troll-raided character killed surtlings and bats before

this is all i got, coulnd't test more than 10 raids per try for obvious reasons, sadly turned off raids in all my secondary/utility worlds and went back to properly play the game

[stark meadow]

You don't have to test anything, we know about the issue. It just seemed you were talking about something else the first time.

Items that old characters picked up will triger raids in other worlds, which should only happen on player based raids modifers, but now happens in regular worlds aslo

[stable cliff]

oh, ok i also posted the thing on steam discussion some time ago but it seemed no one knew the issue

and yes, i had to test it to save my dear raid-free worlds with very undefended buildings 😉

it was like a month ago and at the time i did'nt find the issue reported anywhere, maybe i'm outdatet about this

[stark meadow]

I mostly read bug reports thread on Steam forums. Mods sometimes move threads from general to bugs if they identify there might be an issue so I tackle them.

[stable cliff]

(also got on discord for this reason, never checked it before, i usually don't use the platform at all)

ok so basically a bug is turning on "player based raids" regardless of world modifiers, no big deal, i will just miss my world list free of "custom modifier" label i guess

[glossy pagoda]

I'll have to try reset them tonight. Thank you for the suggestion!

[tender spire]

no. vanilla settings. Just thought some raids where tied to certain boss kills. New seed and haven't kill Eik yet

[winged moat]

Don't mind the aggressive keyboarding lol, blast furnace froze and doesn't register what we feed it. I'm on crossplay, playing on steam with someone hosting on xbox

[strange island]

oh ! I had something similar a few weeks ago...did it consume your resources?

(ah yes I just saw it again...it consumed your coal but the smelter didn't register it)

it was the same for me, I lost almost 10 of iron

(I was playing on a Mac with someone playing on a PC)

[stark meadow]

It's a networking issue. Restart he server to fix it.

[ebon zenith]

The anvil is invisible depending on where i stand - i guess it has something to do with the roof

[gilded sluice]

That's a new one

[summer bough]

hi, i have an issue with the game, i play on PC, everything was working well and suddenly i couldn't join my friend's servers anymore. I tried executing the program as an administrator, renew my ip, disable firewall, re-install the game, checked game's files, upgraded my network drivers, put my game's graphics on low and it still doesn't work. does anybody has an idea to solve the issue please?

[stark meadow]

It's not a graphic issue rather a network issues. Can your reach a password prompt?
Has your friend tried disabling crossplay before starting the server? If not, test that next.

[summer bough]

yes i reach the password prompt but then the screen goes dark for a long time. i can still hear the games sounds such as waves but then it says disconnected even though i never reached the server

and yes we tried disabling crossplay and it didn't work either

[stark meadow]

It might be a graphical issue then. Is anyone from you using mods?
Can you join him if they host a new world? You should also test joining via new character.

[summer bough]

we don't use mods and i have tried to join different worlds, it always did the same dark screen. my friends can still join when i host the world. i haven't tried with a new character, i will do it thank you

[stark meadow]

What are you PC specs, and how old is your power supply?

[summer bough]

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz 4.20 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB
System type 64-bit operating system, x64 processor

nvIdia geforce RTX 2070

i tried with a new character, i could join the server my friend hosted, so honestly that's great, but i couldn't join the dedicated server so i'm probably in the wrong channel, thank so much for your help!

[stark meadow]

You have a messy situation then if it sometimes work and sometimes doesn't. Does the dedicated server have crossplay enabled or not?

Check what's written in the player.log after you connection fails. Btw. after it fails, are you returned to the main screen or do you stay on black screen until you have to end the game process?

[summer bough]

i am returned to the main screen with a "disconnected" prompt

[stark meadow]

Can you join your friend with a new character if they host a crossplay server?

[summer bough]

Apparently yes, I can, as long as it's not a dedicated server. I couldn't before, but with a new character, I can

[wintry apex]

OK, perhaps a silly question, but has that dedicated server had an update recently? Something that you and your friend didn't have yet?

Meaning, have you checked the version numbers you and your friend have and which the dedicated server have?

[gilded sluice]

shouldn't matter on the characters tho 🤔

[stark meadow]

Think the owner of the server will have to restart it for you to get in.

[gilded sluice]

could be to many players?
or server being offline?

[summer bough]

Maybe, we'll try later today thank you so much for your help

[summer bough]

We're only 3 on that server so I don't know and I can't connect, even if my friends are connected

[stark meadow]

Let us know what happens after the owner restarts it.

[summer bough]

The dedicated is new and I will definitely check that also thank you

[summer bough]

I will thank you!

[gilded sluice]

any of your friends living with you who plays on the same server?

[dusky raptor]

I've noticed on the southern edge of the world map, just north of the ashlands, that there's no ocean biome, despite being all water. the biomes are only land biomes. I presume this is because of the way the world generation cuts off the landmass that would otherwise be just north of the ashlands. would this be considered a bug or an accepted artefact? interesting space to go fishing at least

[marble wolf]

So you're saying at the edge of the map there's an edge?

[cunning flame]

You will notice that in many points of the map: oceans are actually quite small and a large portion of the water area is part of a biome or another (which btw gives a good diversity in terms of weather and fishes)

[dusky raptor]

No, Derek. I'm saying that the world generation at the south-side of the world map, to the North of the Ashlands, has some quirks not found elsewhere on the world map. I believe this is because the world map cuts off its usage of the 'master map' abruptly at that point, to create an ocean between the regular map, and the Ashlands. The 'ocean', however, appears to retain the biome despite having its height map set very low to create the appearance of an ocean. And that I wondered whether this was considered to be intended behaviour - given that, as Matt said, many of its characteristics match that of a land biome, as opposed to an Ocean, making it a strange sort of hybrid that isn't found elsewhere in-game.

[gaunt mist]

Do you mean like this? At the bottom over the edge inside Ashlands biome it seems to continue infinitely as Ashlands.

[dusky raptor]

Sorry, I didn't take screenshots at the time, but head North, and you'll find areas that are labelled as mistlands, plains, mountains or black forest despite being very isolated bodies of water. Normally, if an area of water is sufficiently far away from any land masses it'll be an ocean biome. But not in this space.

[gaunt mist]

Ah, you mean the areas between Deep North and other biomes?

[dusky raptor]

between ashlands, and other biomes

[wintry apex]

It's most likely the result of the rework of the Ashlands when that biome was released.

Before the Ashlands being a seperate series of islands, they were landmasses connected to other biomes.
All these connections were removed in the release of Ashlands, but it's possible they're still there under the water, instead of being turned into the ocean biome.

I won't call it a bug, but more likely an oversight of the devs.

[gaunt mist]

Also between Deep North and other biomes. It is the world gen change after Ashlands patch.

[dusky raptor]

Aye - that's fair, I hadn't checked Deep North, but it'd make sense

[dusky raptor]

Yup - it's definitely not a 'bug' as much as it is a quirk, I suppose. But one I wondered if there was awareness of, and if it yields any gameplay behaviour that developers aren't happy with.

[gaunt mist]

I'm just thinking what will happen to those Mountain areas inside DN when the DN patch will be released.

[dusky raptor]

Not sure it'll matter, really? Since the expectation is that if your world hasn't generated that terrain yet, then it will follow the new deep north terrain generation later.

My guess so far as to how the games world generation works is that it starts with a terrain/height map generation, and seemingly any landmass above a certain elevation becomes 'mountain'. There's the sea cut-off north/south of the general master map, and deep north/ashlands seems to be taken from its own areas.

I'd guess that terrain will therefore stay the same, and either mountains will be re-worked so that in deep north area, they're simply considered part of that biome, or they'll be left as they are and the deep north area will be a mix of the two biomes. But I think since the ashlands update seemed to finalise the terrain generation that you're not going to see the terrain change at all in deep north update, just the way biomes are presented.

[cunning flame]

It is still probable that DN will have a specific generation in its area

So the nothern part of all maps created before will have similar illogical generation if players gone to far before the release

[balmy garnet]

it's certainly known, but they don't seem to mind it.
you can pretty commonly have mountains dragged into the sea this way, which means you can be boiling in ashlands water while you still have the freezing debuff because your camera is above a mountain biome

but it's also worth noting that ashlands already overrode oceans and mountains before their worldgen was so heavily separated from the rest of the world.
back then, you could still recognize the shape of the usual islands down in ashlands, their land was just pulled up towards and beyond the surface of the water, and mountains were flattened into hills. (which still looked snowy on the map but were actually ashlands if you went there, despite being above mountain height)
the fact that ashlands have always bulldozed mountains while DN never did and still doesn't gives me hope that the update might preserve DN mountains, i just really hope it does.

[dusky raptor]

Interesting - thanks

Mum's PC is having trouble running Valheim again. We have artifacts as seen in this image and the game runs at about two seconds per frame.

[stark meadow]

Something is dying there, probably GPU. What specs does that PC have?
Are you monitoring temps? I recommend installing HWiNFO tool and checking which MAX temps does your CPU and GPU hit while playing.

[olive iris]

I'm gonna look at that next time, but yeah, if it's the GPU that'd be disappointing because it's supposed to be new

[gilded sluice]

If you have to knowledge to do so.
Remove the GPU and re seat in the socket. Make sure all the cables are snug fit and all the way in.

Because that looks like a GPU hardware issue for sure

[tranquil tree]

@gilded sluice Hey mate! Hope the holidays been treating you well!
Do you reckon there's any chance Irongate would want to sponsor a gamdev-school attached LAN event that takes place right outside Skövde?

Just a cup or shirt or something ☺️

[gilded sluice]

probably not

and use [e-mail]

[tranquil tree]

We emailed like a year ago with no response, I'll try again haha

[gilded sluice]

welll..... :/

[tranquil tree]

I got dreamhack to sponsor us a few times but getting through to gamestudios is really hard haha

[gilded sluice]

you are probably more in line with customers for dreamhack 🤔

[tranquil tree]

i guess but they gave us like 15k worth of prizes over two lans

[gilded sluice]

nice ^^

[tranquil tree]

It was really good haha

[gilded sluice]

what kind of item tho?

pc parts?

merch?

[tranquil tree]

Just having their name on the posters made a lot more companies want to sponsor

It was dreamhack tickets so not really a loss for them

[gilded sluice]

ah nice

expensive tickets 😮

[olive iris]

Will try, thanks

[brittle finch]

I mentioned here a while back that I wasn't able to use feasts because they disappear after logging out of my dedicated server (valhost). That's still a problem and makes feasts unusable. I took some time yesterday and today to put together a video demonstrating the problem. It seems that sometimes when loading the world after logging in, the feast spawns above the table. If no portions have been taken, the feast will drop and become an item you can pick up (i.e. not placed on the table any more). If you have taken any portions, it goes away. It doesn't seem to do it unless nobody's been on the server for a decent amount of time. Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aBQGRLWpmg

I wonder if it's something to do with spawn order when loading the world. I notice in my rather large (13000 instance) castle that it seems to load furniture last, and sometimes there's a good 5 seconds between when the main building is there and the furniture loads in.

[stark meadow]

I asked you if the feasts ended up on a roof, because I have one example where they ended up on the roof due terrain changes.

Didn't see them end up below tables yet, but it must be the same issue related to terrain.

You sure this is a world created after Ashlands?

If you please DM me the world files

[brittle finch]

It is not, and I guess this mountain is very close to ashlands (the rocky things in the water are just to the right of what the youtube thumbnail shows)

Other thing to note that I just realized is this table is in a room where the terrain was flattened because there had been one of those mountain fortress things there that I tore down. Maybe that's related.

[stark meadow]

I assume it is related cuz it's the same issue as in other example, mountain location where someone modified terrain on.

[brittle finch]

I should totally try at my other base.. I actually haven't done that.

[stark meadow]

I doesn't happen everything if that's what you mean to test. It's for sure related to terraforming where locations used to be.

The previous example was a old world tho, and I couldn't reproduce it easily on a new world, so thought it's related to the old worlds only, and not really something worthwhile to fix.

If it's happening on new world, it's a problem. Let me know when you upload the files.

[brittle finch]

Hmm. I am actually trying to remember when we started the world. I'm 99% sure after Ashlands. Some time this summer.

[robust rain]

shield on wall turns default but its actually styled blue, same with a linen cape, turned red on armor stand but it's actually blue
I'm sure its been reported but I can't scroll much

(also why is it tilted pls it triggers me)

[stark meadow]

Yeah, happens in main menu as well when you logout

[grizzled void]

Lingering Stamina potion doesn't appear on an item stand.

it also doesn't appear when trying to place it with the Tray.

[balmy garnet]

nicee

[gilded sluice]

We know 🥲

[signal dawn]

I don't know why, sometimes it is clearly visible. Plus it's visually nice, I had to put it on the side so as not to have a hole in my cupboard :/

[gilded sluice]

it's a known issue

[cunning flame]

Considering how long the issue is lasting, it seem to be one of those “where the f* this comes from” bugs… all my support for the devs

[dusky raptor]

After a chat in #valheim-help - When I place sap extractors, if I leave the zone, then over time, the ancient roots will re-fill with sap. However, the extractors do not. An example here - a branch left a long time, with 40+ sap in it, but a single extractor filled to 10 the others are 0. Another branch was at 8, 1, 1. Another player suggests this doesn't occur for them, and the extractors are always filled, even if they are far away. Any ideas if something's up here? Extractors do fill when I'm within the zone at the usual 1 per minute.

[gentle socket]

i was picking my troll staff from that stone when you die, but i died before placeing it in my inventory and when i opened a chest at my base and picked an item it turned into that troll staff

but can someone tell me how im supposed to get my stuff when there is 3 morgen 5 ashkvin 20 of those ashlands skeletons and a fallen valkyrie on my death stone

[merry brook]

Hi all, hopefully someone can help me with this issue:
When I join my friends coop server, I do not see any creatures, passive or aggressive. I also cannot chop trees etc. The issue is only for the joining player, not the host.

This used to not be a problem before (weeks), then it suddenly became a problem.

I use Bepinex with the following mods:

AzuCraftyBoxes
BetterLadders
EquipmentAndQuickslots
FenceSnap
ForeverBuild
SmartContainers
SnapPointsMadeEasy
SpeedyPaths
TripleBronzeJVL
UseEquipmentInWater
MoreGatesExtended

What we have tried:

• Hosting the server on someone elses computer (Windows vs Linux)
• Improving connectivity
• Waiting

I have looked at:

• Logs: I see no interesting messages between my joining and leaving, neither on the server side nor on the client side
• Leaving the chunk in which we have our base seems to "fix" the issue, as in, there I can see creatures.
• Leaving the chunk, logging out, and logging back in
• The host leaving the chunk and the other player entering it

Some information that might be relevant:

• The house is partially built with free build turned on

[toxic river]

Heya, please refer to #mods-issues for problems with modded games. This channel is for bugs in the vanilla game.

[foggy summit]

Why can't I upgrade ?

[stark meadow]

Can you upload your character, world save, and player.log file and DM me a link to them?

[foggy summit]

yes

[foggy summit]

the item was "corrupted" making it impossible to upgrade

[gilded sluice]

Corrupted?

[foggy summit]

It seems that due to some bug it became another item

[iron steppe]

Which mods are you currently using?

[foggy summit]

none

[gilded sluice]

could be a friends mods also

[foggy summit]

100% Original

[grizzled void]

the Hildir coach Rest animation isn't showing or shared. The player sees himself resting, the others only see them standing.

[gilded sluice]

known 😦

[grizzled void]

glad! as a game devellopper myself. I know how usefull it is to learn about these tiny bugs(such as these) that are easy to miss

[cunning flame]

Nothing to do with bugs but these armors are modded or it is ashlands stuff ?

It looks very nice

[vestal abyss]

Ashlands armor (Ask Set) with Feather cape (mistlands), not sure abt the headband on the 2nd guy

[gaunt mist]

Headband is purchasable from Haldor, it provides light. Headband guy also has Embla armor.

[cunning flame]

Thanks you

[bright coral]

@gilded sluice I spent weekend time investigating remaining IPv6 direct connection bugs on the client side of the game. I have some notes for the devs on how to fix what I think are 3 remaining issues. I can put the solutions here but they include internal-ish code notes. Let me know if you want me to PM them instead.

[marble wolf]

Valheim doesn't use IPv6. That probably won't help.

[stark meadow]

It does since Mac port.

[bright coral]

It's been fixed on the server-side as of a couple releases now, but client-side has some blockers.

[stark meadow]

Known issues are:

• Users on ipv6-only networks probably can't connect via URL
• If the owner of the server has their DNS set up to resolve a URL to both a ipv4 and ipv6 address, but their network only supports ipv6 for some reason, they won't be able to connect to it using the URL

You talking about these or other issues?

[bright coral]

And @marble wolf, even though it's a little broken now, it would be a nice low-latency alternative to NAT and port-forwarding, as well as provide an alternative for folks who can't serve at all with a CGNAT ISP.

The DNS issue and 2 more.

I could probably put together a mod to fix all 3, but it seems like it would be more valuable to help get it done in vanilla.

[stark meadow]

Sounds great. You can send it to me, Smiffe, or Love, don't think any of us would mind

[gilded sluice]

yeah. mods to fix vanilla issues isn't great 😅

better for our people to look at it if they get good "look at this here. this is the problem right here"

[coral narwhal]

I noticed yesterday that in the on-screen tips about which buttons do what (on pc) the spacebar was not translated to English but was written in Swedish. I can't be the first to see this right?

[gilded sluice]

known problem 😦

so no. your not the first, but far from many actually see that 😄

[coral narwhal]

Has it always been like this? I'm 600hours in 😂

[toxic river]

The name of the key will depend on what your keyboard's language is set to on an OS level

[merry brook]

Thanks, will do that

[storm kernel]

Hey guys! I'm having trouble starting Valheim on steam. I clicked play but it just won't start, is that a known issue stm?

[stark meadow]

If you have an antivirus, it might block it from starting.
Best to restart your PC to attempt to fix the issue.

[storm kernel]

Hmmm neither seems to help. And I just tried a fresh install, that's weird...

I made sure to turn off "-console" too...

[gilded sluice]

@storm kernel did you run any mods before?

[strange inlet]

hi guys! I've watched a lot of bronze age videos and the problem is that I haven't been shown the cultivator recipe for a very long time. I have the materials for production and I also have the improved forge, what is the problem?

[marble wolf]

You have bronze and core wood?

[strange inlet]

yes i have a bronze and finewood.

[marble wolf]

Wait, you just said fine wood. You need core wood.

[strange inlet]

where did i find it?

[marble wolf]

Pine trees in the Black Forest.

[strange inlet]

i know what the error might be, birches and dark forest trees give me the original version of the wood, as the default wood

[marble wolf]

Pine trees will give you a mixture of both.

[shy scroll]

whats cultivator

[strange inlet]

I've destroyed soooo many pines and I've never seen original wood fall off, same with birches.

[stark meadow]

You might be confusing firs with pines. Different trees.

Or you playing a modded game that has a bug

[strange inlet]

I don't even know that there are mods for that game, I'm a beginner. what is the difference between pine and firs, if both types of trees are in dark forest?

[stark meadow]

anyone noticing display items vanishing. Like mounted food, trophies , ect..

[stark meadow]

Are you playing in multiplayer and if so, how is the server being hosted?

[sand crow]

hosted by a 3rd party. long time running with no issues

[stark meadow]

How old is the world? Anyone using mods that you know of?

Were you breading lots of animals in vicinity?

[marble wolf]

Hmmm, breaded boar.

[sand crow]

anyone noticing display items vanishing. Like mounted food, trophies , ect..

[stark meadow]

There have been few reports. Nothing additional information was gives, so it's not clear to what the issue could be related.
Probably a networking issue. Please provide more information.

[sand crow]

I have been noticing small things around base.. decorations gone, brackets missing , ect, ect.. but not all at once. It is little by little until every display is gone. Last night "again" I replaced every decore item in the kitchen and replanted the same crops for a 3rd time. This morning all of the decore are gone again and Just half of what I replanted is missing. Other items I replaced in other buildings are still in place. Wards on all night.. nothing else disturbed... It is a vanilla server with client mods.. been running for over 1500 days without issues.. this started about 1 week ago. hats, mounting brackets, tray placed food items.

[gilded sluice]

client mods can do super wierd stuff

it doesn't have to be server mods

[sand crow]

few thousand hours in game. I have never experienced this.

[jagged hamlet]

I've used my computer for thousands upon thousands of hours and yesterday it crashed out of the blue.
I didn't do anything different than before, it just crashed while I was playing fortnite.

[stark meadow]

If the world is older than August 2023, and if you have been breading animals in the same base, your base might be corrupt.
To test if it is, measure how fast the first person who arrives at the server loads the base (by looking at how fast the instance count rises to MAX when you open F2 menu) vs how fast the base would load for the second person that attempts to arrive to the base (while the first person is at the base). Use stopwatch to time it and use the same portal to arive at the base from some distant place. If the first person loads the base much slower, your base is corrupt.

If both people load the base in aprox. the same amount of time, it's probably a mod issue, so the first thing you should test, is to tell everyone to stop using mods and restart the server. Valheim installation folder has to be clean. Mod bugs can also have cause permanent issues in bases even after being uninstalled.

The first thing you should probably do is restart the server, to see if that clears up the issue right away.
After you test what I mentioned, and if the issue still occurs, DM me your world save files.

[sand crow]

a better computer would cuase that between players.

[soft edge]

Hey guys can anyone help, I recently got a new Gpu and haven't played valheim in ages except now the performance is extremely bad

It's only utilizing like 20% of the gpu and up to 70% cpu and dropping down to 5 fps plus super laggy

It was perfectly fine on my previous card which was quite alot less powerful and much older 1070 to 4060ti

It used to run at 60fps everything set to high

It's on an ssd

I've done tons of troubleshooting already, reinstalled the game twice making sure to go and delete any left over folders as well and a whole bunch of other stuff yet to no avail please help

Also to add it's only valheim that's being dodgy all my other games steam and non steam run perfectly fine

[proper grove]

hey guys im on pc joining my buddys server on xbox, it runs good for a few mins then eventually i get a losing connection symbol at the top left then get disconnected. any thoughts? also when i host a server they cant join from xbox when im hosting from pc but i can join them vice versa. i have turned on cross play

[bright coral]

That's pretty low. Any mods? On latest drivers from Nvidia? Are you running Linux or Windows? And if Linux, are you using the new open drivers or older closed-source? Have you machine set to a performance mode? Any game-specific adjustments made using the Nvidia GeForce software? Any HDMI plugged in to your motherboard (i.e. for iGPU/APU-driven graphics)?

[stark meadow]

Responded to you in the Xbox channel.

[stark meadow]

How are other games working for you?

[gilded sluice]

Valheim don't care what GPU you own. it will use any without problems
what is your processor?

[gilded sluice]

do you use VPN ? 🤔

[stark meadow]

Can others connect without problems? If so, then it's not a general playfab issue in your region.
Getting disconnect error after pass can also be mod related, VPN related, CGNAT related, router crashing due to large amounts of pings, etc..

[cedar edge]

@stark meadow turns out i typo'd the start script, and broke my /plugin symlink - so it's a false alarm

[proper grove]

hey appreciate your time, think i could add you and talk about it? its abit complex for my noob seldf

[gilded sluice]

Do it 😄

I promise, MaCarBre is nice in DM

[lusty crater]

im having trouble joining my mates server been on it all week but roomate wanted to join, now im just getting failed to connect

[stable hedge]

my friend keeps on crashing on valheim on different time intervals of playing (from 3 mins to maximum of 15 mins of gameplay whether if she goes singleplayer or in my server), we tried to do clean install, changing the registry, switching from opengl to vulkan, updated drivers, etc. nothing works on her side.

she runs the game on her laptop, it's a 2022 asus tuf model iirc, I can't remember the specific specs of it.

[stark meadow]

So you can join without issues as long as your roommate isn't playing?
Your home connection probably can't handle to players due to high buffer bloat.
Test what result you get here when not running any games: https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat
And then test it again while you are on the server in Valheim with some players.

[stark meadow]

The prime suspect on laptops is always overheating. Look up the laptop model number and specs as well.
I recommend installing HWiNFO tool and monitoring which MAX temps the laptop hits after a crash occurs.
Additionally, Asus laptops often come with Asus Armory crate which can overclock the system, leading to instabilities, in which case resetting the preformance profile to default can stop the issue and uninstallation of the app would then be advised. You should know that if the app gets uninstalled, laptop won't be able to go into performance mod and spin fans faster, which might be required for it to stay cool while playing Valheim. Definitely test temps before and after.

[stable hedge]

alright will give her a heads up for it, thank you

[gilded sluice]

I would recommend to try and lift the laptop from the surface it's standing on while playing. if that makes your friend being able to play longer playsessions, then it's time for some kind of dust-cleaning and probably buy a cooling pad with a fan.

most laptops isn't made for gaming longer sessions :/

[stable hedge]

yeah I did tell her about lifting her laptop to help out with the heat too, we'll try it out again and get back here if it doesn't help :/

[gilded sluice]

thankfully a cooling plate isn't to expensive. 🙂

[stable hedge]

she had the default profile in her armory but we tried playing with the auto and max fans. sadly after tweaking, temps aren't really changing and it keeps on crashing. she tried playing with a cooling pad too but the issue still occurs.

I told her to get her laptop cleaned up since she isn't really tech savvy and hoping for the best too

[gilded sluice]

Could be drivers related

[stable hedge]

her drivers are up to date

[lusty crater]

Managed to get connected at the same time, for some reason joining through the recent or favorite tab would fail to connect but using the friend tab allowed me to join, not sure why but it worked. Thank you

[gilded sluice]

sometimes you need to remove all drivers and do a clean re-install

it's recommended by the manufacturers actually

[stark meadow]

Pleast go to #mods-issues

This channel is meant for vanilla issues

[quiet ore]

oh sorry

[stable cliff]

hi, upgrade problem, i'm very sure i upgraded it from level 2 to 3 after last pach, maybe different level tuna bugs it?

(pc, steam, vanilla, never used a mod)

[stark meadow]

Yeah, atm you need all fish to be on the same level

[stable cliff]

ok thanks

[iron steppe]

Just so it doesnt get lost on the other channel. Smiffe suggested Smoke Bombs should drop agro etc.

#valheim-chat message

But this video proves doesnt work. I tested a few things. OR doesnt work in the way everyone expects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svbB3NumqQU

Either way - it seems "bugged" if the intention of the Valheim devs is to do something else besides putting out fires.

[stark meadow]

They just put the fires out, they don't drop agro.
One of the early versions did was the idea was scrapped.

[gilded sluice]

they should 🤔

[iron steppe]

It was Smiffe who brought it up originally in the other chat. So I’m only going off that.

If it doesn’t, it doesn’t.

If it is meant to; then it’s broken.

Up to you guys to decide if bug or not. I’m easy either way. Thanks.

[gilded sluice]

yeah. seems like my wish was removed =()

[iron steppe]

So not a bug? I.e. a feature that never made it to production? Damn; would have been an awesome game mechanic. Oh well… maybe someone can mod one in 🙂

[gilded sluice]

yeah 😭

[iron steppe]

When loading coal kilns, why does it prioritise finewood over core wood?

Currently it is wood > fine wood > core wood.

Surely wood > core wood > fine wood is what more people would find easier?

[cunning flame]

Go to #suggestions cause you are right and this is not a bug but a suggestion for improvment

[stiff arch]

can some help

[iron steppe]

Looks like network/server issue.

[gilded sluice]

do you use Wifi?

or VPN?

or the person your playing with?

[stiff arch]

one friend have wifi

i have ethernet witch cabel

[gilded sluice]

and you connect to your friend?

[stiff arch]

no i hosting server

[gilded sluice]

Hm.. wierd

[stiff arch]

after 10 min he have lag

[gilded sluice]

try to get your friend to use a cable instead of wifi

[stiff arch]

okay

[gilded sluice]

usually wifi is bad for game that requires a stable connection without package loss

wifi connections usually don't care about package loss, since it can just "ask" for a new package that was lost.
but that works bad with a game like valheim that requires constant flow of packages without interuptions

(easily explained)

so basicly, if you or your friend have a connection with package losses, everyone will notice it and have a bad connection :/

[stiff arch]

okay

thanks

[balmy garnet]

@gilded sluice hi there, sorry to bother you, I'm a Georgian 🇬🇪 translator, if I can help you about translating, just tell me, it's an honor to me.

Sigh. Yeah. Where ideas go to die…

[marble wolf]

Apart from all the ideas that subsequently went into the game.

[iron steppe]

well - I look forward to been proven wrong then 😉

[lament ether]

Anyone know the mod that causes the workbench to ask for longsword with a bunch of metal? we cant get it off

[cunning flame]

Hildir and Bog witch update clearly implement content that was suggested (or at least is a derivation of a suggestion)

[iron steppe]

disable your mods one at a time... could be any of them (or an issue with mods competiting against each other)

[gilded sluice]

Indeed. It's usually a outdated one causing that problem

[smoky aurora]

So I was messing around my world and noticed this Leviathan on the world's edge near Deep North. When it rendered, it moved downwards slightly. There was also a second Leviathan right next to the waterfall, but I didn't screenshot it.

I admit, it gave me a good laugh.

[stark meadow]

They spawn there as well as it's technically an ocean. This is not really seen as an issue.

[smoky aurora]

Fair enough. It's still kinda funny.

[gilded sluice]

It is kinda funny

[bright coral]

@stark meadow are you pretty familiar with the item corruption bug that was mentioned in a few of the pre-Ashlands releases? I haven't been able to find much info on the specifics, how it can be detected, and whether the Ashlands+ releases will self-heal affected worlds.

[stark meadow]

If one was playing between November 2023 - August 2024, and breading animals in their base, while playing in multiplayer, chances are that objects in their base might be permanently corrupt.

To test if it is, measure how fast the first person who arrives at the server loads the base (by looking at how fast the instance count rises to MAX when you open F2 menu) vs how fast the base would load for the second person that attempts to arrive to the base (while the first person is at the base). Use stopwatch to time it and use the same portal to arrive at the base from some distant place. If the first person loads the base much slower, the objects in the base are corrupt.

The bug couldn't be easily retroactively fixes, so base reconstruction is necessary.

[unique wren]

hey i found a bug that crash the game

[pale coyote]

Hey guys, not a bug but I never had this issue until the last 6 months or so. I have constant micro stuttering. Not peaking my CPU/GPU/RAM usage. Not noticed any patterns for a cause.
I've;

Restarted worlds
tried with and without mods
Graphics settings make no difference
Changed priorities and core usage in task manager
Verified integrity of game files
Fresh install

Still having the same issues, does anyone have any advice please? (besides "potato PC, get upgrade" xD i7-7700k gtx1080ti if relevant btw) tia

[unique wren]

me too

rtx 3050 amd 5 5500 16gb of ram

[stark meadow]

What causes this crash for you?

[stark meadow]

What PC specs?

[unique wren]

placing a log

[pale coyote]

i7-7700k, gtx1080ti, 32gb 2133mhz Ram, game installed on NVMe Samsung SSD 970 M.2

[stark meadow]

Placing logs doesn't cause crashes in general. Is is some kind of particular scenario? Are you playing with mods?

[unique wren]

no just started like 3 hours of gamplay

[stark meadow]

Then your PC is generally unstable. What specs?

[stark meadow]

Do you stutter when you spin the camera and stay still or only when you walk?

[unique wren]

rtx 3050 amd 5 5500 16gb of ram

[pale coyote]

It's random. Happens even if I don't move or spin at all.

[stark meadow]

Test closing afterburner and resetting your profile there if you tweaked it.

Have you checked which MAX temps are you hitting when playing?

[pale coyote]

Temps I haven't no. What's the best software for that? Speccy has seemed unreliable for that in the past.

[unique wren]

afterburner is closed, does it tend to cause crashing sometimes

[stark meadow]

Close rivatuner as well. I use both as well so it doesn't cause crashes in general.
It can cause crashes if you have some sort of incompatible drivers or unstable clocks.
No point in having it enabled when you want to troubleshoot what's causing crashes.

[stark meadow]

I always recommend HWiNFO tool. Specifically look at MAX temps that CPU and GPU hit after stutter happens.

If those are fine, I would then uninstall the graphic drivers + install new ones again with emphasis on selecting custom installation and check ticking the clean installation option.

Those two are the most common stutter causes. Everything else is kinda individual, v/g sync related, cpu related or some 3rd party software being responsible for stutters, so we can look that in more detail then (send me a DM).

[stark meadow]

What kind of stuttering issues do you have?

[pale coyote]

Thanks man, I'll give it a go. 🙂

Hello!

I've got an odd issue with Valheim: it's muting me in voice chat.

As soon as I enter a world (no matter if it's multiplayer/singleplayer, hosted or remote), my discord stops transmitting my voice - I have to alt-tab out of Valheim for it to restart transmitting.
I've tried it in Discord, Steam Voice Chat and Microsoft Teams. It's like the Valheim "takes control" over the microphone and doesn't let any other programs use it.

This happens even without any mod loaded.

Things I've tried:

• Check file validation on Steam
• Reinstalling Valheim
• Reinstalling WINDOWS and trying again.
• Disabling the "let apps take exclusive control" on the microphone properties.
• Restarting Router

This happens only with Valheim, any other game/work app doesn't block my voice.

i did have afterburner clock my gpu a little bit so that may be why i was crashing

but i turned that off now

[stark meadow]

Does you mic work when you are in Valheim starting screen, before you join any world or click on join servers tab?

[unique wren]

but is like loading lag spiks

[mossy mist]

Yes, it starts failing once I join a world.

[stark meadow]

Then it's not getting muted probably, rather your upload traffic is getting bloated.
Do this test while Valheim is closed and post the link for your results:

[mossy mist]

I've tried restarting my router as well

[stark meadow]

Did crashing stop now when you closed it?
You will probably need to reset your profile before closing afterburner. Did you do any CPU overclocks as well in BIOS?

[unique wren]

no the only overclock i did was gpu

and what do u mean bu resetting profile in afterburner

[mossy mist]

I've tried in other hi-latency games (like hosting Conan Exiles) and it works perfectly. The only problem is Valheim, for some reason.

[stark meadow]

You didn't have any networking game opened while preforming this test?
Do this test now while being on a server in Valheim as well

We expect to notice upload latency increasing considerably.
Are you on a WiFi? Do you know on what kind of connection is your router connected towards your Internet Service Provider? (mobile, satelite, copper, fiber)

[mossy mist]

Will test with Valheim on.

I'm using ethernet cable, optic fiber to ISP;

With Valheim - in world - on

[stark meadow]

Multiplayer world with someone in it?

[mossy mist]

Yes

didn't change much vs Valheim Off

[stark meadow]

That's a bit weird that it didn't chance. Try to distance yourself in an area where you are the only one there, further from other players.

[mossy mist]

Let me try on an older version of Valheim

[stark meadow]

If you reside in the same zone as some player that was there before you, you won't be uploading much.

[potent stream]

yo anyone experienced a bug where it goes suddenly day when typing in your signs?

I labeled a sign to "COAL" and when I typed the capital C night suddenly became day

[stark meadow]

When you are in debug mode...
Shift + C + scroll up/down = fly speed
Shift + C + mouse left/right = FOV (default fov is 65, and you can check current fov with fov command, but don't think you can reset it other then by logging out)
Shift + C + mouse up/down = Time of day (can be reset to default by "tod -1" command)

[potent stream]

ooohhh thnxx I didnt know that

[gilded sluice]

Sadly not a bug

[worn quail]

Although something maybe should be done about getting stuck when you exit a structure thats blocked like that. I had a pretty much identical looking crypt and had to do /die to get out, only way to exit is to use a chair to clip out

[gilded sluice]

it's a known problem, but it's not the scale of a bug

hard to explain since it's a matter of "how would you rate this problem"

[gaunt mist]

It's world gen doing world gen things.

we went out exploring, found swamp.. mined iron.. had 3 different chests, with different amounts of iron in them, then we went and found mountains, mined up a whole cart full of silver.. 2 days ago, today we went back, took the silver down the mountain, towards a boat, and 4 stacks of silver disapeared after the cart was broke, we looked everywhere. then we went on to the swamp, parked the boat, went to the chests. opened the chested, iron there, closed it and opened it again and its gone.. sooo tonight we lost 4 stacks of silver and 6 stacks of iron...

I've been bashing my head against this for the past couple of days too. Something you can do is try reducing the number of pings/minute in your server browser settings in steam. Mine was set to 5000/minute, reducing it to 250/minute has improved the situation by a lot

Looking at the network traffic with wireshark valheim is constantly sending queries to all sorts of servers

[shadow lily]

I submitted a bug report for the above along with some screenshots. It looks like there's a bug where once these queries start they never stop being sent, even after connecting to a server (or pressing the back button)

[iron steppe]

What are steps to reproduce?

I might go look at the raw network traffic now; interesting…

[iron steppe]

@shadow lily - how did you filter the traffic on wireshark to be sure it was Valheim as the origin? I'm not really seeing anything wrong, but I might not be replicating it correctly.

[stark meadow]

On which platforms/OS are your friends playing, and is anyone using mods?

[stark meadow]

Server browser pinging too much servers is a known issue.

[cunning vector]

all playing on steam, windows, no mods, dedicated server
