You are probably referring to your Asus Armoury crate settings then. Not the ones I was referring to, rather this:
https://help.uaudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/213195423-How-To-Disable-Fast-Startup-in-Windows

Check if you have this setting enabled in Windows control panel, and if you do disable it, and restart your PC.

Did you check around what temps in Asus Armoury crate recently?

[jade socket]

it was enabled and I disabled it, but nothing changed, still very laggy

while in the game, my CPU hovers at 50 degrees celcuis and my GPU hovers at 40. I have a cooling pad under my laptop as well, and my fans are set to turbo in my actual laptop

[stark meadow]

Did you restart PC? It's a must.
Which power profile do you have set in windows control panel (above fast boot option)?

[jade socket]

I restarted my PC and have the turbo power plan selected

[stark meadow]

I'm not talking about power plan in Armory crate. Do you also have a Turbo plan listed in windows control panel?

There usually isn't a power plan called turbo there

[jade socket]

in windows control panel

[stark meadow]

Seems like your Armory crate messed with it and renamed those profiles.

Probably a part of the issue

Try to change those plans and in advanced setting, raise your CPU power for your battery and plugged in mode, both min and max, to 100%

Also, in Armoury crate, which GPU mode do you have selected (standard or ultimate)

[jade socket]

i do not have those options, only Desktop background settings, sleep, display, and battery

These are my only GPU options in armoury crate

[stark meadow]

Seems like you might have an older 2021 version of G14 that doesn't come with MUX switch (ability to disable iGPU and use only your dedicated GPU for gaming). Try to see if you can find an option to disable iGPU in your BIOS settings. If there isn't one, then you can't really control when your iGPU will be used, which might be related to the utilisation issues you have been seeing.

I would also recommend that you check which BIOS version you have installed, so we can compare it with the latest available.

Here's an example on how to check it in windows: #steam-bugs-discussion message

[molten rose]

No mods - I'm in creative mode and i didnt know what a dragon egg cup was so i spawned it, and it spawned invisible. i'm unable to destroy it either.

[gilded sluice]

not a bug

but you can use the forcedelete command to remove it

forcedelete <item name>

[molten rose]

Thanks!

[gilded sluice]

if you're not careful tho, you can accidently delete ALOT more than intended tho 😄

so backup first and test it

[molten rose]

uh yikes, not too bad i suppose

[gilded sluice]

ah oof

looks like you deleted to much 😄

if you don't exactly spell the item correctly, it will just remove all items within range

[stark meadow]

Range also has to be specified

[wanton bridge]

so yea i have this problem when my friends can't join my server . Server is hosted by me on steam but it was earlier hosted by me on microsoft version . They doesn't have any buildings or trees

Can someone help ?

[stark meadow]

On which platform are your friend playing?

Do you have VPN installed?

[wanton bridge]

we are playing on steam now

[wanton bridge]

No

[wanton bridge]

earlier i had a microsoft version and it did work but yesterday it stopped

[stark meadow]

Probably for the same reason. If all of your friends have the same issue, the issue is on your end. It's usually related to you being behind strict NAT (VPN, CGNAT that you Internet service supplier can put you behind, 3rd party antiviruses).

Since you are on Steam now the quickest solution would be to disable crossplay option before starting your world as a server

[wanton bridge]

but the question is how did it work for 3 days straight

[stark meadow]

Depends on what you installed, what you programs did, what you internet service supplier did.

Nothing in Valheim changed

When you'll need to start a crossplay server (required for Xbox console, MS Store players, and Apple Store players to join), you can go into more detail about what's really causing the issue. Meanwhile, you can disable crossplay as quick solution.

You can DM me if you need help making crossplay to work or if you still won't be able to connect when you do disable crossplay.

[wanton bridge]

i will try that , one sec

[gilded sluice]

looks like the usual connection issues since you got the Disconnected symbol top left corner

[wanton bridge]

windows defender maybe ?

[stark meadow]

Highly unlikely.

Did you test hosting with crossplay disabled?

[wanton bridge]

yep, same thing

[stark meadow]

Can you screenshot your installed network adapters?
start → device manager → network adapters

E.g.

[stark meadow]

Seems fine. Try disabling and then enabling your realtek adapters here

Have you tried joining to someone's else server?

[wanton bridge]

yep, i have the same thing as he

[stark meadow]

Are you all in the same world region or different ones?
Try hosting a crossplay server one more time and send me your join code and password, so that we eliminate region as potential problematic variable.

[wanton bridge]

pass: 12345

me with my friends all have the same world region

[stark meadow]

DM me sensitive informaiton next time. You don't really want everyone to see and know your password.
On future attemps, don't have the same password.

Yeah, have the same issue as your friends. Have your friends tried hosting amongs each other and have it work without you?

[wanton bridge]

i wont have same password tho 😅

i did new server for that

[wanton bridge]

i will tell you that within 5 minutes becouse they are afk

[stark meadow]

Meanwhile just restart your PC and home rouhter if you already haven't
When ti boots back up, open command prompt (start → type cmd and open) and there type this command tracert 8.8.8.8 → wait few minutres for it to complete and DM me your results later.

[wanton bridge]

aight

[wanton bridge]

I've send you a message

[autumn vortex]

Tarpit2 still has a memory leak.

Tarpit3 also has a memory leak. Tarpit1 does not appear to.

Scratch that, all 3 have the leak.

[stark meadow]

Besides this output in the player.log file do you have any other reason for claiming there is a memory leak related to them?

Internal: JobTempAlloc has allocations that are more than the maximum lifespan of 4 frames old - this is not allowed and likely a leak
To Debug, run app with -diag-job-temp-memory-leak-validation cmd line argument. This will output the callstacks of the leaked allocations.

[autumn vortex]

BepinEx logs it without any mods installed. Removing the location removes the warnings inside the logs. Thats pretty obvious to me.

[stark meadow]

So I'm right in saying that you are only going by that particular line in the log file to claim there is a memory leak?

[autumn vortex]

Feel free to use your tools being said you're an expert in this and provide evidence its not.

[marble wolf]

Using a mod loader to diagnose coding errors is unusual.

[autumn vortex]

The process of elimination is valid. All I'm saying is that if the issue is present in these locations, but removing them resolves the issue, then that means something. There's no need to be argumentative. It's something worth looking into.

[stark meadow]

There are many things in a world that can display this line in player.log file.

Usually followed with something like this later:

Internal: deleting an allocation that is older than its permitted lifetime of 4 frames (age = 11)

I'm not sure if you are making conclusions only based on this log that there is a memory leak, or you've identified something else related to tarpits causing problems.

[autumn vortex]

Using no mods other than BepInEx, I went to these locations, and the warning was logged.
I then removed the locations with a command via Upgrade World.
After that, I spawned in the parts of the locations one by one — the blobs, the pickables, etc. I believe it's the status effect (SE) causing the error, likely due to the AOE script that targets SE in Unity.

I'm basing some of this on a mod I deprecated that had similar functions for traps. I also examined the tar pits, which were built similarly.

Internal: JobTempAlloc has allocations that are more than the maximum lifespan of 4 frames old - this is not allowed and likely a leak

Tarpit does have AOE script attached to it internally I did look at the build inside Unity. My traps mod I deprecated had the exact same memory leak and why I deprecated. Maybe coincodence but I thought it was worth pointing out to the devs

Triggering that tar effect over and over eventually causes my frames to drop. In addition logging out then logging back in clearing the znet scene the frames go back up.

[gilded sluice]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Ra_6VlDmtxI

typical issue 😦

[hard bridge]

I will never understand people that go cheap on power supplies and surge suppressors with their expensive PCs.

[marble wolf]

Why anyone would cheap out on a safety feature in ANY context is beyond me.

[pastel inlet]

apologies if this isn't the right place for this post. i went from ashlands to my base and smoke was endlessly spawning on me. i tried using other portals and it didn't go away. eventually enough time in ashlands and coming back the pig pen effect was gone. don't think yal intended on this happening to people.

[stark meadow]

Known issue, relog to make it go away. Can jappen when you go from Ashlands water to normal water.

[bright coral]

Is ||Morgen not showing yellow for lightning damage|| (Ashland's spoiler) a bug or am I misinterpreting.

[crystal walrus]

Im looking for help. My Valheim game keeps freezing and crashing and i cant find the reason why.

And every time i lose all the resources i have collected and everything i have crafted.
no mods

[gilded sluice]

could you send me your player.log file?
In this hidden folder in windows:
C:\Users\ <username> \AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim

[stark meadow]

Lighting damage from what exactly? It should show it when you use Dundr for example

[gaunt mist]

Himminafl?

[crystal walrus]

How do i find it?

[gilded sluice]

it's a hidden folder

How to view hidden folders in windows 10/11
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/view-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-97fbc472-c603-9d90-91d0-1166d1d9f4b5

or open valheim and click "show player.log" button down left corner in the main menu

[crystal walrus]

Ok i have found the player log button.

what and how do i send it to you?

[stark meadow]

You can send it to Smiffe via direct message by dropping the files in the personaly chat

Meanwhile list what PC specs do you have?

[crystal walrus]

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8400 CPU @ 2.80GHz 2.81 GHz RAM 8,00 GB (7,88 GB usable) 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor and 1 TB memory.

I`m Playing with friends on there server and when the game kept freezing and crashing my husband started a noter server and steal my game keeps crashing.

It wont allow me to put the files in the message bar.

[stark meadow]

You can first message them normally. Then once you are in the big chat you can drag and drop the file into big chat.

[stark meadow]

Do you know if you have a dedicated graphics card on your PC? (GPU)

If you go to start → type dxdiag and open it → then under display tab you can see which GPU you have

[gilded sluice]

she got a 1050

d3d11: failed to create buffer issue

[bright coral]

Have tried with Himmanfl, ||Dundr, Nidhögg the Thundering, Scourging Slayer, Storm Star, Thundering Berserkir, Splitnir the Storming, Storm Fan, and Storm Ripper||. Out of those, I only saw the yellow effect text with ||Dundr|| and occasionally maybe the 3rd chained ||berserkir||. Otherwise, I only saw white damage number on hits. To be expected?

[stark meadow]

Kinda. Everything else does some other type of damage which gets looked at first when colouring damage numbers
We had some complains about axe yellow numbers missing when cutting trees and such

It would probably be a good idea to show yellow numbers at any point weakness is hit for more obvious communication to players

[bright coral]

Thanks, makes sense. Was worried a damage mechanic wasn't kicking in.

[gaunt mist]

When weapon have split damage types it might not show the weakness to the other damage type if the amount of that damage is lower than the other. All those melee weapons mentioned have higher amount of pierce/slash/blunt damage than lightning which is why they show grey number against Morgen, then Dundr and the chain lightning from iolite weapons deal purely lightning damage which then shows yellow damage number.

[bright coral]

Thanks!

[steel basin]

Hi, idk if it's right that I'm writing here, but steam support doesn't understand me. 2 years ago another steam account shared his library so that I could play Valheim, but after a while his acc was hacked and it couldn't share. I can see valheim in my library as if I have this game, but I can't launch it because I don't have officially the game. When I want to buy it steam says I already have the game in my library and I need to delete it to buy. When I deleted 2 days ago and wanted to buy valheim steam said I can't buy a game that I deleted and that was previously in my library. I wrote to steam support and they said that I can't buy the game twice although I didn't even buy it and played from another account. Please DM if I can really do something and can buy the game

[stark meadow]

Do you have saves backed up?
Have you tried deleting download cache or re-installing Steam?

[steel basin]

No I don't have
I did it rn and still "you already had this game in your library, message to support". Support says write to the developer

[stark meadow]

Valheim developers can't do anything about your Steam account and games you own there.

Installation directory for the game (if you have Steam on C drive) is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim
Do you have any files there?

[gilded sluice]

indeed. such issues are 100% steam related.
we cannot do anything on our end to your PC or your steam account

[stark meadow]

This message doesn't make sense. You don't have problems with launching the game, rather problems with owning the game in the first place.

Installation directory for the game (if you have Steam on C drive) is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim
Do you have any files there?

[steel basin]

Of course I understand. Only trying to do what steam said

Yes I still have this even after clearing cache twice

[gilded sluice]

just poke them again saying "I don't own the game, but I cannot buy it since your system is preventing me"

[stark meadow]

Delete all of those files manually, you have mod files installed. Then also delete the Valheim folder those files are contained in.

[gilded sluice]

those files can be deleted. but it shouldn't prevent you from buying 🤔

[steel basin]

Yes I said and you see the answer

Deleted all and clear cashe, still wont allow

Guess I need another acc to buy

[stark meadow]

Won't allow what? Adding the game to Steam cart so you can complete the purchase?

How does your store page look like anyway, along with add to cart button? Can you screenshot?

[steel basin]

Its when i have and when delete

[stark meadow]

How does your Valheim look like on Store page I mean?

The part where you can add it to cart and the price that is listed

[stark meadow]

And when you do actually go to Valheim library, you don't have Valheim there on the list?

[steel basin]

When i dont delete from acc i can see in library, when i delete i cant see but anyway i see in the store like i have in library even if i delete from acc

[stark meadow]

Which error do you get when you do restore the game, so that it becomes visible in your library and you then try to launch it?

[steel basin]

Idk what happened rn but i can play although i tried 3 times today. Maybe its a bug im not sure

[stark meadow]

So what error did you had before when you tried to launch the game from library?

[steel basin]

Before it was error the game was kicked

[stark meadow]

Sounds like it was related to you mod files

[steel basin]

Anyway now youre my god, I appreciate your help. I think my sutiation was stupid

[stark meadow]

Did you buy the game at any point before or were you ever gifted the game by someone?

Doesn't sound you are just playing it via family sharing (someone giving you privilege to use games from their library)

[steel basin]

No just another acc shared library when it was allowed 2 years ago

And now i didnt buy, but all this time i cannot play since this acc who shared was hacked

[stark meadow]

Did you have this other account that was hacked logged in on your PC?

Or did that account give you family persmissions to share their library?

[steel basin]

Yes this

[stark meadow]

Have you been able to recover your world in the end?

[tidal path]

Is anybody else getting any audio issues while in the ashlands and in close proximity to other players?

[stark meadow]

How long have you been playing in Ashlands so far?

[tidal path]

This playthrough, we had just arrived for the first time and set up our first outpost

[stark meadow]

So haven't played in Ashlands on previous patches?
Generally the game currently has some trouble with audio stuttering when too many sounds are playing, its a known issue.

[tidal path]

We were also near a shield generator as well

[tidal path]

Ye that might be it

[gilded sluice]

sadly a known issue atm 😦

[ocean peak]

hiya 😄 hope you are doing well 😄

i found a small visual bug where on the ship in a certain angle suddently the health bar and name of a friend appears if they are directly behind you

(left side)

[paper sparrow]

When you have fish of different sizes, the mead ketil says that you have the necessary components (the numbers aren't flashing), but the applicable mead base doesn't light up. For example, with two size-1 groupers and one size-2 grouper, won't light up "Mead Base: Anti-Sting Concoction" even though the "3" by the grouper in the "needed ingredients" window is solid and not flashing.

[gaunt mist]

Currently the fish used in new meads need to be same quality.

[paper sparrow]

Then, it shouldn't say that I've got the right ingredients.

[gaunt mist]

I'm not sure if it is currently intentional but I think they are aware of that.

If it was intentional I think the reason would be preventing you from using higher tier fish "accidentally" if you happened to get very high tier one.

[mossy wing]

Hello, im looking for help, my game keeps on crashing within 5 minutes if not, instantly when i am in my friends server but when they are in my server nothing happens. I prefer to play on their server because that is our main place. I have tried switching to differnt wifi connections and the problem continues. This wasnt as bad of an issue before, but now we can't play anymore. please @ me if anybody has a response

[gilded sluice]

usual suspects are:

• broken mods since we just updated the game
• do a clean re-install of your graphics cards driver
• Wifi or wireless internet having a bad connection

[pseudo pollen]

Hello! I'm unable to summon Bonemass.. Do you have any help/advice?

I'm playing on PC through Steam and using an Xbox controller.. so when I summoned the other 2 bosses it would show me the button on the controller to press to place the items at the alter. I had passive enemies on but was told in the help chat that wouldn't be the cause. I do have it on casual play as well but that also shouldn't make a difference.

I have 10 withered bones in my hotkey bar but when I get to the Bonemass location it won't let me offer the withered bones

[stark meadow]

What button on a controller are you pressing to offer the items?

[pseudo pollen]

A

but as it shows in my screenshot it's not even telling me to press a button.. and with the other bosses it did

[stark meadow]

You have to have Withered bone selected and press Dpad↑

The button for equipping the item

[pseudo pollen]

Oh!Okay let me try that

[pseudo pollen]

I think you just solved all of my problems 😅 😄

I'm not going to go do it right now because I'm working 😄 but I'll try it tonight and see if it summons him

[narrow imp]

Playing for an extended period of time seems impossible, laptop battery dies while on the charger while playing valheim, cant seem to find a way to make it stop, if anyone knows anyway to fix this please let me know :D

valheim is the only game where this seems to be an issue*

[bright coral]

Are you using the OEM charger for your laptop or a 3rd-party one? What's the wattage?

[narrow imp]

OEM Charger 135

LENOVO IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ACH6

game runs perfect over 100 frames on High-Med settings, even tried locking the fps to 30 to no difference

[bright coral]

Thanks. I suspect you'll want the 170W variant for gaming. Looks like this is the latest OEM charger in that calibre: https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/accessories-and-software/chargers-and-batteries/chargers/gx20z46288
No guarantee, but it should be better.

(That's the North American variant, likely different model numbers for different AC characteristics regions of the world)

[narrow imp]

THIS! thank you so much! it seems it was overheating and turning on and off, putting a fan on it has solved the problem!

Fanheim

[bright coral]

The 170W will not help the overheating problem unfortunately, but does match the max draw that laptop is rated for, and if it avoids exhausting the battery during the high heat, should be better on battery health.

[narrow imp]

it seems to have been pushing itself to run the game anyway so id assume if it wasnt working so hard to hit that power draw it probably wouldnt get as hot so hopefully the upgrade does stop it but who knows, regardless thank you for the support :D

next your gonna find me tearing the wires outta my walls to fix this lmao

[gilded sluice]

a cooling pad is almost a must have if you're gaming longer sessions on any laptop sadly 😦

[cedar rock]

My partner and I play together and are experiencing a lot of connection issues.
I'm running the server on our Windows 11 laptop and she joins from our Windows 10 desktop.
Occasionally things stop moving for me (I can't see that she's moving, but sometimes NPCs also freeze), and when this happens she tends to have the "Disconnected" icon in the top corner of the screen. When it recovers the connection my version of the game jumps to her version, and we can continue playing. During a recent session it happened while I was fighting some skeletons and when it recovered I died (thought when she got there the skeletons were also dead).
It seems odd to me that it's the server version that freezes when the disconnection is off?
Is this something anyone else is experiencing and are there any known fixes or workarounds? I had a look at the known issues list, but it's very long and doesn't seem to have search functionality (thanks Monday! :P).

[bright coral]

Avoid using Crossplay if you are on the same LAN. If you're using the dedicated server, make sure you're connecting via the server's LAN IP instead of external.

Another thing, if either the clients or server are on Wi-fi, consider switching to Ethernet instead (or fiber or SFP DAC if these are professional workstations). If Ethernet isn't an option, consider switching up wireless tech. 5GHz and higher better for being in the same room, but sometimes 2.4GHz is more reliable between walls, especially with metal-frame housing.

Another note for running the Dedicated Server on the desktop variants of Windows is that the command window (for both cmd and PowerShell) has a QuickEdit mode you can accidentally activate by clicking inside the window, effectively pausing the console and the server itself, blocking connections and gameplay.

[stark meadow]

Are you hosting your world or running a dedicated server?

[cedar rock]

I'm hosting. I haven't worked out how to do the dedicated server yet.

[stark meadow]

You shouldn't have too much problems then if only two of you are playing.
Are you both on WiFi, or anyone has a wired connection to the home router?

[cedar rock]

We're both on WiFi and cable isn't an option unfortunately. We're in the same small room on 5GHz. Maybe it would be worth trying out running a dedicated server. Presume I can run the server AND the gamer on the same machine...

[stark meadow]

Dedicated server will only make things worse

Generally I would recommend that you both do this test separately, once when Valheim is closed, and second time when Valheim is running and you are both on the server: https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat
Let me know how it goes

There generally shouldn't be any differences in terms of score you get if you are both on same connection, so if there are any, it could indicated that there a specific issues with some 3rd party app running in background causing issues (vpn, network optimisers, torrents, etc..)

[gilded sluice]

do you use wifi and a wireless router?

[cedar rock]

Yes

[gilded sluice]

that's probably the main issue

and using crossplay of course

since crossplay goes from your laptop -> router -> rounting the USA -> back to your home router -> your partners laptop

so 4 times throught wireless media which is prone to package loss. which is a really achilles heel for valheim and online games they requires alot of data to be sent as a stream between host and client

[cedar rock]

So... I never really thought about the "Crossplay" option, because it's ticked by default. If I turn it off, does that mean the client will talk directly to the host (so no routing the network traffic via the USA), and maybe would work better?

[stark meadow]

Generally, if all of your teammates are on Steam platfrom, you shouldn't use crossplay.

It's completely unnecessary.

But also probably not the root cause of your issues.

You won't know what the root cause until you start testing few things out.

[cedar rock]

Oh, cool! Thank you all very much for your help! We'll give turning crossplay off first a go, because it's the easiest, and see if it makes any different. If not I'll try the Bufferbloat test 🙂

[gilded sluice]

the issue is the wireless

since you both are connected by WIFI to the same router. you both will limit each others data-rates

imagine both of you watch diffrent netflix movies on your laptops at the same time

it will probably stutter until it has download enough data

[cedar rock]

That might be true, but we might as well try changing some of the things we can change and see if it helps. Otherwise we'll just have to live with it and/or stop playing until we live somewhere where we can wire up 🙂

[stark meadow]

Wired is best, you can look into powerline as well if you have good electrical installation, but there's still many things you can do to boost WiFi signal.

Just to give you an example, a TV running on same WiFi channel as your router can create problems even.

That's why less talk, more tests XD

[gilded sluice]

what's the current problem with getting wires?

a "better" sollution could be to get cables connecting your laptops to a router and then use steam networking and use your internal IP's.
should work just fine

[cedar rock]

The problem with getting wires is that we live in a rental place and the router is downstairs (and we're moving out in July, so wouldn't be worth investing to much in a complicated solution. With the wired-to-a-router, the router wouldn't be connected to the internet but just routing traffic directly between the machines? That could be an option, I guess 🙂 I think we might even have a spare router kicking around somewhere...

[cedar rock]

We just had a good long session, and it definitely seems like the problem has gone away or at least gotten a lot better. Didn't get any connectivity issues. Thank you! 🙂

[dusk mason]

Hey all, since the most recent patch Valheim has been unplayable on my pc - horribly laggy from when I first hit 'play' in Steam. The music starts but the screen stays black for much longer than usual, then there's seconds-long delay after I click any menu option. Too slow to even get to starting to play. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game but it hasn't made any difference. Anyone else had the same experience?

[stark meadow]

Probably not related to the last patch. What PC specs do you have?

Used mods before? Double check that you don't have more files in your installation folder than these: https://i.imgur.com/vdpdeOA.jpg

[dusk mason]

Ah sorry forget it - I've realised it's affecting my other games as well, so obviously not a Valheim problem

Maybe the Steam update

[gentle ferry]

Hello ! I've been recently playing on a Multiplayer (4) server hosted by romstation, and played to the point of creating 5 smelters and 2 kilns in a decent open building . Unfortunately they stopped working when I connected today (no drops or fire), adding charcoals or ore doesn't add them to the /20. They are also impossible to destroy, I tried minning under them but they stay in place in the air. Has anyone encountered this bug yet ?

Rip

[stark meadow]

Can be a bunch of things. It's usually not Steam. Most commonly related to Windows updates messing with drivers. More issues on laptops.

[gilded sluice]

could be the latest windows update 🤔

[stark meadow]

You will have to restart the server to fix it.

[rough schooner]

I havent tried it with kilns, only with chests. Usually a log in an out works. If it doesnt work restart server

[gilded sluice]

they had a vert serious issue with windows defender atm

[gentle ferry]

Thank you for you answers, everything is working now !

[wary nacelle]

Anyone have an idea how to fix console not working? I don't play with mods

[marble wolf]

Have you enabled it in Steam?

[wary nacelle]

yes

[gaunt mist]

He had, according to the conversation in other channel.

[wary nacelle]

funny thing is it used to work when I had -console" typed in

it just isn't working

[stark meadow]

Double check that you don't have more files in your installation folder than these: https://i.imgur.com/vdpdeOA.jpg

Also launch the game from Steam library, and not some random shortcut you might have on your desktop

If you are on a laptop, check that you haven't toggled Fn mode, in which case you would have to press Fn + F5 to summon the console

[wary nacelle]

yes, yes, bright mode peasant, I know

no idea what Manifest is

[stark meadow]

You have a bunch of mods there sill. If you don't plan on playing with mods, delete everything there, and only then reinstlal the game through Steam.

[wary nacelle]

ah, I never actually got it to work

delete all files and folders and reinstall?

cheers

still not working

[stark meadow]

How are you launchign the game and where did you add the console argument?

Teset pressing F5 here to check if you are even pressing F5 key: https://en.key-test.ru/

[wary nacelle]

this time I'm launching the game by right clicking the actual game in steam and adding command there

F5 works, it paused the youtube vid on second monitor

what the fudge, F5 doesn't work

[stark meadow]

F5 should refresh the tab in your browser, not pause the video

You have pressed a key combo on your keyboard that activated a different mode

Look up your keyboard/laptop online and how to toogle the mode

[wary nacelle]

that's weird

it's only F5, all the other function keys work

[stark meadow]

So what is your F5 now, space?

[wary nacelle]

it was my logitech manager, I hadn't changed it though

F5 was play/pause

should be F5 now

that's so weird, thanks though

[mossy wing]

Hello, my game keeps crashing and i already did a diagnosis on my laptop to check for network issues and i dont have any, this problem has been happening for about 3 weeks now

[stark meadow]

Are you getting disconnected (returned to main menu), or having crashes (app closing)?

[mossy wing]

Returning to main menu

[gilded sluice]

your laptop won't understand why valheim will have network issues

you use wifi or dial up modem?

[mossy wing]

Wifi

Ive tried different wifis like my own hotspot and my moms and it still crashes but this is the only game it does that with

[gilded sluice]

you have a wireless modem aswell?

[mossy wing]

What is that?

Modem

My wifi is wireless

[gilded sluice]

how does your modem connect to the internet?

usually the issue is that your wifi isn't stable enough for valheim networking

[mossy wing]

Network settings i connect it with a password

[gilded sluice]

I mean

laptop -> through wifi to router/modem -> which connects how to the internet?

[mossy wing]

Well it was fine for my other 60 hours of gameplay why is it now starting to crash

[gilded sluice]

wifi shares bandwidth with everything you connect to your modem

like phones, ipads, laptops etc

but also your neighbours wifi can interfear with your own wifi

[mossy wing]

Yea and theres a few phones using the wifi but its only recently started to crash while i play multiplayer on valheim

[gilded sluice]

it crashes because your connection quality isn't good enough

usually you will see it in the top left corner of the screen

[mossy wing]

Yea but thats weird because i used different wifis for it

It used to work with my hotspot but then it just stopped working with any wifi in general

[gilded sluice]

hotspot?

[mossy wing]

Yea where you share cellular data to a device

[gilded sluice]

yeah. that's usually the worst possible internet you can use

[mossy wing]

But it was working for a while

Better than house wifi

[gilded sluice]

it depends on how many other users who also uses mobile hotspot in your area / town

[mossy wing]

But its my phones hotspot i share it to whoever i choose

[gilded sluice]

valheim still requires a minimum quality

just having "some" connection doesn't help

[mossy wing]

What is the minimum quality

[gilded sluice]

there is no real "number" on quality

like you cannot meassure it like you can with upload / download speed

[stark meadow]

Are you on a laptop or PC?
How are you connecting to your phone? (phone and PC/laptop are connected via USB cable, or PC/laptop connected to phone hotspot via WiFi)

[mossy wing]

I am on laptop

i was using house wifi wireless but then it wasnt working well enough and so i was using wireless hotspot

I have 80 hours of playtime approx

[stark meadow]

You might also benefit from connecting your phone via USB cable, and then enabling USB tethering to make connection more stable.
However I would rather focus on figuring out why was your home WiFi worse than your mobile data. Have any ideas on why was that?

[mossy wing]

I do not

[stark meadow]

Ever did any speed tests on WiFi vs Mobile Connection to see what's the difference there?

[gilded sluice]

but do you only play by connecting to someones world? or do you play by yourself?

[mossy wing]

To my friends world

I have not done speed tests, how do i do that?

Oh im running speed test on google now hold on

[gilded sluice]

speed test isn't the same as quality

[stark meadow]

Do this test, once while being on home WiFi, and then disconnect from home WiFi, and do the same test while being on your mobile hotspot.
https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat
You can share the link for your test results after you get a score.

[gilded sluice]

or something like https://speed.cloudflare.com/

[mossy wing]

On my house wifi it says 31.2 mbps download and 3.90 mbps upload. My hotspot says 166.5 mbps download and 15.5 mbps upload

[stark meadow]

Share the full test score, a link to you test results.

Or a screenshot
Other parameters are more important

[gilded sluice]

but as wifi goes:

• the more devices you use, the worse the connection quality becomes
• the more wifi networks in your area there are, the worse it gets

[mossy wing]

Let me run the test again so i can get the screenshot

Hold on sorry

Ill send in my house wifi screenshot first while the other one is still in works

[gilded sluice]

that sadly looks extremly bad 😦

[mossy wing]

Tell me about it

[gilded sluice]

you couldn't run a cable to your houses router?

[mossy wing]

I cant

[stark meadow]

Would be nice if you could just connect it one time, to preform this test again.
If test remains bad even on cable, there it might not be WiFi's fault.

[mossy wing]

I can connect a cable to a wireless router?

[gilded sluice]

yes you can

almost all of them still have a cable port you can use

[mossy wing]

If i connect cable can other people still use it wireless

[gilded sluice]

yes

[mossy wing]

My hotspot wont work on my laptop roght now sadly sorry

How do i find a cable for my labtop

this is the results for house wifi on the other website

[gilded sluice]

and sadly the issue with hotspots are you are fighting all other people in your entire area for network stability

[mossy wing]

Ah

But guys how do i obtain the correct cable for my router

[gilded sluice]

easiest is just go to your local computer store and tell them you need a cable from your laptop to your router

it's alwats a basic cable

[mossy wing]

Can i find it in best buy?

[gilded sluice]

sure you could

[mossy wing]

thank you i will come back when i obtain one someday near

[stark meadow]

Do you happen to have a box that your rouhter came with? Maybe your Internet Service provider left a box?
They usually come with at least one ethernet cable

[mossy wing]

oh that box was thrown away

[stark meadow]

How much bars do you have on your home WiFi? 3/5? (signal strength)

[mossy wing]

5

[gilded sluice]

you could look at the name under it

[stark meadow]

Hm, seems like you have a bit too high latency during upload for 5 bars, so the issue might not be in WiFi.
Can you DM me the following screenshot:
Open task manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC) → go to performance tab → on Windows 10 you should see blue link at the bottom called Resource monitor, and on Windows 11 you would have to click on three dots icon to open Resource Monitor → open it → go to network tab → Screenshot processes that use your Internet on your laptop

Looks like this:

[mossy wing]

i sent you it

Guys I am unable to create a new character or start a new game. please help. I have tried deleting cloud save data, local data, irongate folder and uninstalling and reinstalling. nothing has worked

[silver horizon]

Anyone know why I have -2,147,483,648 stamina? I also cant regenerate it either. Any tips to fix this?

[balmy garnet]

Classic int underflow 😅

[silver horizon]

do you know how to fix it?

[balmy garnet]

No

[bright coral]

Using any mods, or did you pass your character through a character editing tool?

[dire ermine]

I am unable to breakdown the campfire, is this a bug?

[gilded sluice]

Sounds like broken mods

[ocean peak]

hiyaa One question as I have never seen it before is it normal that draugr sometimes spawn within the bog witch safe zone?

[gaunt mist]

I think that's known issue.

[ocean peak]

ok

[queen linden]

hi - i am getting crash on map start when using Wayland @ 2K resolution - how to submit a bug report - i.e paste it here ?

should I paste bug report here or in #linux ?

or should I just email [e-mail] ?

i.e to report Linux bugs - here or #linux ?

[gilded sluice]

Wayland?

[bright coral]

If it's a larger dump or log and you've removed private stuff, you can attach it here in a post. If you're sure it's a bug in Valheim or Unity and not in your own stack, here is a great place to file a report: https://www.valheimgame.com/support

[gilded sluice]

do you run any mods?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_(protocol)

[bright coral]

Modern Linux equivalent of Microsoft WDDM and DWM

[gilded sluice]

I mean

usual answer. the more a user uses his own specialized things. the more the user have to be able to sort out his own specialized things 🤔

not like us valheim developers are magicians when it comes to every single technical thing in the known universe

Stable release
Wayland: 1.23,[2] Weston: 14.0.1[3] / 30 May 2024; 9 months ago

should be compatible 🤔

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SJDuId_1Cc

looks like you need to do a bunch of "magic" yourself for it to work

[dire ermine]

No mods installed

[gilded sluice]

look at this video I posted and the line he has added in his startup Launch options 🤔

[queen linden]

i have no mods - i put details in #liunx room - also if I set scaling to 95% it stops the crash (I normally have it on native)

[gilded sluice]

possibly a graphics card or power supply issue 🤔

but you seem to must do some voodoo magic in the steam settings for it to work

[queen linden]

I think that was a while ago - now most things just work in Wayland - also also it works fine wayland at 2k in window mode or 1080 full screen (x11 is fine) - also saw in linux room someone else saying same thing and choosing 95% scaling in the game fixes it (for some reason)

So my solution is either use x11 or choose 95% scaling in wayland - no launch options needed (any more)

[gilded sluice]

probably best place is to ask in #linux

[queen linden]

ive added details in the room - thanks man

[gilded sluice]

because I know for a fact, it's not something we can solve or fix on our end

since it will 99% chance end up on my table 😄

[stark meadow]

There's a known Unity issue with AMD cards, MESA drivers and Unity engine

Either install AMD drivers, or play in windows mode, or openGL or proton as a workaround

[empty void]

heyo, I have a connection problem on steam. My friend hosts a server from valheim and if I join him once and quit the next time is always failed to connect. If I reinstall the game the first try is ok but the next is failed. We dont use any mods. Is there anyone who had the same issue or know smt?

[stark meadow]

Which server list tab are you using to connect to your friend?

[empty void]

I tried the friend tab and the steam overlay join game button too

[stark meadow]

Don't use friends tab for now. Add your friends server to favorite tab, and delete all other servers. Use favorite tab only

[empty void]

How can I add it?

[stark meadow]

Have them start the server via crossplay enabled, and add a server to favorites tab via join code.

Your friend will see join code in their pause menu that they have to give to you (6 numbers).

Then next time they start the server, have them start it with crossplay disabled (better for steam only players), but you should still have their server available to connect from favorites tab.

Don't click on other tabs while connecting.

[empty void]

I will try it thanks

[queen linden]

Also setting scaling to 95% works with AMDGPU /wayland @2K fullscreen - thanks

[rain bison]

has anybody had this happen?

i randomly loaded into valheim after a while and my most advnced charachter, (should have late game armour equipped) is now called stranger and is naked.
when i try to load into the seeds i play on it'll go to loading but quickly crach and have an unable to load error.

kinda hideous to think i may have lost my shi

only thing i have done to my files is insert them into the valheim world gen page but that doesnt alter the files in any way

[stark meadow]

Have you been switching Valheim versions? (e.g. BETA → default_old)

Check that you don't have some temporary steam files that need to be cleaned out.
Section1:Point5:Last paragraph in this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/uq9b8x/

[rain bison]

i dont know if this has anything to do with the recent bug-fix patches but i restored both my charachter and my world to the days before patches and it worked

[rain bison]

dont think so, i ususally dont do any version switching or PTB unless big drop so i was on base game

[stark meadow]

Be sure to test that your world and character saves properly before playing.
Change something in inventory and world, logout and get back in to confirm changes were saved properly.

[rain bison]

Ok, just did the relog into both my worlds and everything seems fine

Crashout avoided thanks G

LMAO the one werid thing in my world that i notice is i now have a haunted egg

[remote carbon]

help me solve the problem,
my game crashes after a while.

I haven't installed any mods, I've already reinstalled the game and cleaned the registry.
my system: r5 3600 4060 32gb

[cursive meadow]

fully nude, invincible fuling :p he is not invincible to pickaxe dmg

(version is latest release)

[gilded sluice]

can I get to look at your player.log file?

[iron steppe]

We’ve seen this from time to time. I’ve had it once myself. No idea what causes it…

[cursive meadow]

my friend can't see him lol

[gilded sluice]

network issues or-desync at the worst possible momement usually

just reload the monster by running away and come back usually solves the issues

or restart server

[iron steppe]

Nope. Single player. No mods. It comes up from time to time in here.

[gilded sluice]

usually never happens in single player 🤔

[stark meadow]

Also never heard anyone have any mod be invincible in singleplayer.

[iron steppe]

I’ve only seen it once in 2000hrs.

[gilded sluice]

could be that 1ms during saving or something breaking the monster 😄

[iron steppe]

Yep. Just one of those little things…

[restive heart]

Having the same problem today. Fresh install no mods

Not loading at all just popup and immediate crash... Fresh install, Files verified, tried running as administrator

[marble wolf]

Fresh install including deleting the game directory?

[stark meadow]

@restive heart Both of you check if you have any extra files in installation directory. You should not have any more files than this:
https://i.imgur.com/vdpdeOA.jpg

[spice hornet]

Having issues with connecting to a friend's server. Player hosted on steam, no crossplatform.
I've tried: modded, unmodded, reinstalling the game, many attempts of brute forcing, restarting devices. Only our first session succeeded and any sessiosn after i have been the only one out of three unable to connect.

[stark meadow]

How are you connecting to your friend? Through friends tab, favorites tab, recent tab?

[spice hornet]

ive tried friends and steam overlay

[remote carbon]

everything is as shown in the picture

[scenic dirge]

me too

I have the same problem

[stark meadow]

Tell your friend to start a crossplay server, and add the server to favourites tab via join code.
Then have them restart the server with crossplay disabled, and for future attemps use only favorites server.
There are some known issues with friends tab when you have a lot of steam friends.

[scenic dirge]

I off firewall, off IPv6 and nothing

[stark meadow]

Do the same then as I mentioned above, if you are also using friends tab. If not, you don't have the same issue.

[stark meadow]

It's most likely a CPU/memory issue then. I've been seeing a lot of this lately for AMD CPUs. Do you know which motherboard you have?

Also check Section2 in this guide on how to grab player.log files after a crash happens and send me one, after the crash happens.
https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/uq9b8x/my_valheim_is_crashing_fix_for_crash_guide/

[remote carbon]

Gigabyte A320M-S2H V2

[restive heart]

Thanks for the reply. Im not home now but I had way more files than that. I was running mods at one time it's very likely I still have some files kicking around

[stark meadow]

A different motherboard then compared to rest of players, meaning it's probably AMD driver issue or something related with their newest BIOS updates. Let me know when you find player.log file.

[stark meadow]

Yeah, best to manually delete everything, then install the game again. Steam re-installation doesn't remove such files.

If you continue crashing after that, list your specs.

[remote carbon]

Can I write in private messages?

[stark meadow]

Just send me a personal message, and drop a player.log there

[spice hornet]

ill try that

where do we find this join code?

[stark meadow]

Above the menu, when you hit ESC to pause.

It's only there for crossplay servers

[spice hornet]

nvm my friend is just stupid

alr thanks it finally works

<3

[scenic dirge]

why does it sometimes work sometimes not,

friend still can't get in

you pay for a game where your friend can't join, this must be a joke

My friend can't join despite many attempts

@stark meadow

How to fix

Again, my friend tried to join from favorites and nothing

[stark meadow]

How are they attemping to connect?

Using favorite tab only or still using friends tab?

[scenic dirge]

favourite

And sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

now it doesn't work anymore and can't connect

[stark meadow]

You are hosting the server?
Are you hosting the server with crossplay enabled or disbaled now?

Only the two of your playing, or are there more players that can't connect?

[scenic dirge]

Yes I hosting the server with enabled crossplay

just the two of us

[stark meadow]

Disable the crossplay now and restart the server. You were only meant to use it once to get the server to the favorite tab.
On your friend site, they should not click on any other tab, only favorite. Other tabs currently have some issues with pinging servers and throttling connections, so they should not be clicked on.

[scenic dirge]

but after restarting I have to enable crossplay?

[stark meadow]

Logout.
Disable crossplay.
Start the server with crossplay disabled.
Have your friend connect via favorites tab alone without clicking on other tabs.

If that doesn't work, there might be another issue either on your end or theirs (like using VPN, ping optimisers, etc..) which we can then get into later.

Also, if you continue having issues, clarify how many of your are playing.

[scenic dirge]

it works now I turned off crossplay and invited through the steam tab, because when a friend tried to join from the favorites tab it didn't work

[brazen briar]

Has anyone had constant issues with playing the game and on discord on call at the same time? I got a friend who keeps getting disconnected from the call whenever they try to play.. and it's only for Valheim. Just regular vanilla game, no mods just a normal server. They have the best internet connection out of everyone in the friend group and never had issues like these on any other games we play. Like they have to try to connect to the server over 10 times to get in at times. And then when it does connect them, discord just dies on them.. then half the time when discord is reset the server disconnects them. We don't have a clue what's causing this. No crossplay enabled, we are all on pcs through Steam. But also at times both just run fine, last week there's been a lot of crashing and disconnecting tho :c

[stark meadow]

Doesn't sound like they have the best connection.
Have them run this test while Valhiem is closed, once when they are on the server playing
https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat

While on Discord the whole time

They should also experiment with advanced discord settings, like:

Also tell them to send your their test result in a form of a link that leads to the site so you can forward it to us

[brazen briar]

1st on call, 2nd on call and in server

[stark meadow]

Seems like they have issues with latency during upload, which is probably the reason Discord cuts off (needs upload to send data).

How are they connected to their rouhter? WiFi or wire?

[brazen briar]

wifi

[stark meadow]

Do they have an option to connect over cable, and repeat the test?

Or do the test when being closer to the rouhter while on WiFi?

[brazen briar]

nope

[stark meadow]

Try to do the same test on the phone, while mobile internet is disabled and they are on home wifi

While being close to the router

[brazen briar]

We don't think it's a network problem personally, since this has never been a problem before on their end

meanwhile my stats in comparison, and I don't have any issues other than random lag sometimes

[stark meadow]

It's very much a network problem judging by the test you submitted. It's not normal to have 100ms latency during upload.

There can be variaty reasons for this to happen now and not been the case before

What's that last measurment? Seems really bad

[brazen briar]

just my internet pfff, not theirs

[stark meadow]

You have 0 problems?

[brazen briar]

0

yeah

we think its something between discord and the game on their end

[stark meadow]

Did they check their advanced Discord setting? Do they have high packer priority enabled?

What also comes to mind, is disabling Discord overlay in general to see if there is any difference.

[brazen briar]

all are offf

[stark meadow]

Try to enable it then

Except overlay

[brazen briar]

it's been disabled all along

[stark meadow]

I got that, keep it disabled

Try enabling high packer priority

Who is hosting the server?

[brazen briar]

where is that? only have hardware acceleration there

[brazen briar]

third party

[stark meadow]

Should be under voice and video tab.

[stark meadow]

Test you hosting, and them joining your server but with new default character, and seeing if their discord also breaks

[brazen briar]

no change with it or me hosting a new world, keeps breaking

[stark meadow]

Did they make a new character?

Have them also check if these are the only files in their installation folder or if they have more than that:
https://i.imgur.com/vdpdeOA.jpg

[brazen briar]

yeah

[stark meadow]

Checked installation filles? Did they find the packet priority setting?
If you have a channel where you two can chat, you can also invite me there so we can take a closer look at what might be happening here.

[void moss]

My game keeps crashing whenever im seafaring, it doesnt happen immedietly, but it almost always happens everytime i go sailing

[stark meadow]

Probably due to high GPU usage. Which GPU do you have?

[void moss]

gtx 1080

[stark meadow]

Did you overclock your card at any point?
Couple of things you should check:

• Check your GPU temps when sailing (best to monitor which MAX temps get hit via HWiNFO tool)
• Check how much FPS you get while sailing
• Try limitng FPS via in-game menu to 60FPS (in-game Vsync has to be disabled)
• Ensure that you card is set to maximum power performance in Nvidia control panel for (Valheim profile and general profile)

[void moss]

Thank you, I'll try to monitor my GPU and fps in a test sail, also what is the preferred minimum gpu I should have to run valheim without having to limit any graphic settings? I was thinking of upgrading

[stark meadow]

You're on a deskop PC btw right?

[void moss]

Correct

[void moss]

?

[gilded sluice]

@stark meadow

[stark meadow]

You should be fine with 1080 without limiting FPS. I play with 1070 without issues.

Your card probably has some issues, and that's why it started crashing on high GPU usage.

It could be also related to power supply.
Do those tests I suggested, so we get a better picture of what is going on your end.

Did you overclock it at any point?

[void moss]

thank you, anything that i find out, ill be sure to send it to the chat

[void moss]

i was about to try, i havent hopped on yet

[stark meadow]

By overclocking it, you will only make things worse, that's why I'm asking

So you haven't overclocked it in the past and applied some kind of profile to it (e.g. via afterburner)

[void moss]

ooohhh, i dont know if i have overclocked it, where would i monitor that? (i apologize, im not the most tech intellegent)

[stark meadow]

If you did, you would probably remember. Maybe if you used Nvidia app, you might have done it unintentionally but not likely.

First install HWiNFO and monitor your MAX temps. Limit FPS to 60fps and see if it reduces crashing.

Do you know how old is your power supply?

[void moss]

i just bought a brand new one last year

[stark meadow]

Also, in what manner are you crashing? (black screen, screen freeze, system crashing, app closing?)

[void moss]

screen freeze

also i do have vsync off

[void moss]

it was an fps problem, thank you

[loud owl]

If u stand on bed, look down and click sleep before u land after jumping it does this weird thing.

[gaunt mist]

You know that feeling when you are just falling asleep and you get the sudden falling feeling that gives you mini heart attack? It might be that.

[gilded sluice]

well known "bug" that is quite funny to be honest

sometimes you can make your character run while it falls asleep

[iron steppe]

I like that Valheim won’t let you sleep if your slightly wet.

But if you’re on fire you can sleep and burn the bed…

[serene tapir]

I too like to be warm and comfy underneath my blankets

[robust rain]

Someone mentioned the +1 sound missing when you pick fruits, and I think I notice it's missing too >_<

[gaunt mist]

It's missing when picking berries, but not when picking mushrooms.

[gilded sluice]

the "ding" sound?

[stable cliff]

oh, i didn't count that as an issue, as it happened the sound didn't play 100% of the times since the feature was introduces, i'll keep an ear on it..

also "ah! i see you have the machine that goes PIING!"

[rugged plank]

i dont know if this is a bug but it seems to be an issue as well for my friend

she has trouble joining our valheim world and this had happened many times. she had connected and reconnected more than 10 times

we let her host our world and its still the same thing

she made a new character, reinstalled the game and somehow cant join any servers

however she does not have this problem for any other multiplayer games. soes anyone knows any fix? she claimed to have seen similar issues on steam discussion but to no resolve

[stark meadow]

You can link your friend this thread which mentions the tests they should be doing to identify where the problem is:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/892970/discussions/1/612032374411149472/#c612032512885010678

You can let us know about test results here.

Are they playing in the same world region as other players on your server? Using WiFi?

[rugged plank]

yep they are

we have another friend near her area that encounters no such problems like hers

[rugged plank]

alright, will do, thanks a bunch

[rugged plank]

she claimed she has done all except the last one because it was a bit difficult to contact and change the ISP. how to deal with this?

[grizzled leaf]

bugs

[stark meadow]

What were her test results? Using WiFi?

It would probably be best if she could come here

[jagged condor]

How does one even figure something like this out?😅

[exotic light]

Deleted a game seed, started a new one kept the same name but the previous map still continues to show. I went to the userdata and deleted the world data but still when logging in the maps are off. any suggestions?

[stark meadow]

You have to delete 3 cache files in worlds_local folder for that world name

Starting menu → click on show player.log file in bottom left corner of screen, to find that folder

[exotic light]

so the link doesnt exist on linux - Ive seen it on windows but its not showing

[stark meadow]

Can you screenshot?

It should be there. It's bellow the patch notes

[exotic light]

Yeah i mean I know where it should be

[stark meadow]

Screenshot?

[exotic light]

workin on it

[stark meadow]

Try manually navigating to the folder:
/home/steam/.config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim/worlds_local

[exotic light]

There it is

That worked thank you!

[stark meadow]

Weird that you don't have show player.log button. On which Distro are you playing? Mddded/cracked game?

[exotic light]

No it’s steam deck

[stark meadow]

Ah, you see you have dl in the version number now

Game mode probably doesn't have the button, or were you in desktop mode?

[exotic light]

Neither have the button

[ebon zenith]

Really need to fix the massive lag spikes in ashelands - it really takes away so much from the game

[forest pendant]

Not sure what's going on here. Normally yellow with a bit of orange light sources suddenly turn red, and the world outside goes pitch black. No mods, and no raids running

If you're using Wi-fi, consider using Ethernet for your gaming devices instead. If you're using a VPN, consider avoiding it while gaming if not required to connect to your desired server. If it is required, consider Wireguard as the tunelling protocol instead of OpenVPN, IPSEC, or Cisco Anyconnect.

If you're using professional networking equipment and you're routing between VLANs, ensure your VLAN routing is hardware-offloaded (e.g. to your L3 switch chip) instead of going through your router's CPU. The datagram storm from Valheim can be a lot for a router CPU.

[stark meadow]

Which GPU? Usually a GPU related issue. You might need to reset your game profile for Valheim in your control panel. You might also need to wipe out cache files.

[bright coral]

Also consider disabling traffic shaping or QoS on your router and any Internet security suites running on any of the machines. If you're using a DNS man-in-the-middle attack for a DNS proxy like pi hole, make sure you are only hijacking DNS traffic and not forwarding all UDP traffic to it.

If you are running this server within the same LAN and both are using the Steam version of the game, then definitely avoid using Crossplay. Once Crossplay is disabled, you'll be able to connect to the other server using its LAN IP instead of external IP and you'll avoid saturating your router (and will avoid going through Microsoft's relay, giving the extra bonus of faster Valheiming)

You won't see the server metadata like version/players appear when connecting via LAN IP (you'll see question mark instead), but the final connection should still happen.

[stark meadow]

If your entire internet crashes. One of simpler workarounds you should try first, reduce steam browser pings per minute in Steam general settings → in game → set them from 5000 to 250. Do this on every client you have in your home network.

[bright coral]

You'll just uncheck the "Crossplay" radio button that is selected by default in the in-game server setup pane. Then you'll need to find the internal/LAN IP address of the PC or Mac hosting the server (e.g. ifconfig on Windows or ipconfig on macOS command lines, also inide the Network settings GUI panels for IP networking on either).

With a typical home router, the LAN IP will start with 192.168…

You can then put that IP address (and :<port> segment if not using default port) in the Add Server dialog on the other side.

[bright coral]

That's a good tip. I had no idea the default was that high!

Connecting via LAN IP skips an extra hop for the packets through your router CPU. Several extra hops skipped by disabling Crossplay. The only disadvantages to this approach are:

• Apple App Store, Microsoft Store, and Xbox Valheim players won't be able to connect to the server.
• If you want friends to be able to connect remotely from over the Internet, you would be responsible for the networking yourself (e.g. IPv4 NAT UDP port forwarding from your router to your LAN IP, optionally LAN IP DHCP reservations, optionally Dynamic DNS name resolution). Crossplay's relays take care of remote connectivity for you when using it.
• Server metadata like status, player count, and version won't be shown in the server list for the LAN IP entry.
• Your server's LAN IP might change later. You can set a DHCP reservation for that server's MAC address to prevent this.

If the Mac is the server, you'd be looking at a pretty manual mod setup to begin with, regardless of whether it's the server. Otherwise, no harm in using a suite like r2modman when using the in-game server.

Well, definitely sounds like a version mismatch. Consider copying the plugin DLLs directly from the r2modmanaged PC to the other one's plugins dir if you're not sure if they downloaded the same versions. #mods-issues will be the place to dive deeper though.

"Right-click build selection" option in the settings menu is obsolete and does nothing.

[exotic tundra]

Hi guys, I do not know if this is the correct channel, I'm going to remove if it's not.

I just arrived in Ashlands and it is unplayable. My friend and I have the audio that stutters all the time, it is pretty buggy. I searched online and it is a common issue, is there any way to fix it?
It is all fine in the other biomes, we have ti just there

[gilded sluice]

it's something we know about and we are looking into it

the problem isn't just a "quick fix" since it's more with the current version of the game engine

[gaunt mist]

Is the game engine (Unity was it) getting update any time soon?

[gilded sluice]

we shall see when

[exotic tundra]

Alright, good to know, thank you for the info

[gaunt mist]

Is this a bug? Inside Smouldering Tomb when you hit one of those coffins (where starred skeleton rises from) there appear additional non star skeleton.

[gilded sluice]

could be but I think it's intentional 🤔

[gaunt mist]

When you approach it normally (without hitting it) it breaks and starred skeleton rises. When you hit it there appears extra non star skeleton while the starred skeleton rises too. Is it really intentional?

I mean, not a big deal tbh but left me wonder.

[gilded sluice]

yeah. since you break the sarkofagus and it also breaks by itself at the same time. it spawns 2

[gaunt mist]

But the coffin breaks either way.

[gilded sluice]

ye

might be double coffins 🤔

[tender trail]

Me and my girlfriend have been playing Valheim crossplay (She's on my new MSI Laptop and I'm on Xbox Series X) for awhile now. All of a sudden two days ago, we start getting the disconnected icon in the top left corner of the screen. Neither of us can open chests, doors, go through portals. We can walk around, but each character appears frozen on the other person's screen. Occassionally it will kick her out of the game saying she got disconnected and my game will go back to normal. I've researched a lot and I'm not seeing any answers. No, I do not have Asus Gamefirst, yes, I have made Valheim run as administrator, yes i've checked firewall... The game is unplayable and I would very much like some answers. P.S., My internet runs at a very high speed so I have no clue why the connection issues are so severe.

[marble wolf]

Crossplay, it's usually crossplay at fault.

[gilded sluice]

do either of you use VPN?

or wifi?

[jolly laurel]

Hi. We have a problem with raids. Mobs dont show up during the raid. This problem happens only in our main base. In other locations where we have mini bases mobs always show up but in our main base the dont. What can be the problem? Raids are set to max

[gilded sluice]

mods or the monsters don't have spot to spawn due to spawn protection from workbenches etc

[jolly laurel]

we dont have any protection

it is boring without raids. Is there any solution for that?

[marble wolf]

Remove your spawn protection.

[gilded sluice]

it depends on why it doesn't want to spawn

[cedar edge]

the comfy gizmo, and probably most gizmo mods, have enormous workbench radii as default, so any workbench may prevent spawns out to several hundred meters

[gilded sluice]

my guess is a mod or a setting

[gilded sluice]

This is highly likly the issue

[cedar edge]

or server settings include no raids

[gilded sluice]

yeah. press F2 ingame and see the settings

[cedar edge]

but as they said 'during the raid' i guess we should assume they see the red circle and the raid text....and its not a server setting

[gilded sluice]

true

[jolly laurel]

yes. There is a red circle but mopnsters dont appear

[gilded sluice]

but do you or anyone have any mods running?

[jolly laurel]

yes. A lot

[gilded sluice]

yeah. so it is one of them being the problem

go ask the people in #mods-issues

[cedar edge]

squints suspiciouslyat build helper

[jolly laurel]

okay thanks

[jolly laurel]

🗿

[cedar edge]

oh, and i mis-spoke re gizmo, its actually BUILD HAMMER/CAMERA mods i should have said have the huge workbench radius

[jolly laurel]

yes.. i thought about too.. İ guess it is because of that mode

[gilded sluice]

text markup is bad mmkay 😄

[jovial pendant]

Is the stutter when sailing on the roadmap to being fixed? When my partner sits in the front of the boat she is stuttering allover the place on my screen.

[stark meadow]

Not likely. They have too low FPS so they don't render waves properly on time.

They should test lowering graphic settings when sailing

[jovial pendant]

"They"?

Do you mean my partner? How does their FPS influence what I see an my screen?

Im sitting at stable 122-130 fps with most on high.

[stark meadow]

Yeah, speaking in general terms for any person that is in front. The person is front becomes responsible for calculating boat physics and sending information to other players. If their FPS is too low, they will update boat position infrequently, and it won't match up with waves that other player will render more frequently.

This is not a big problem that requires fixing, as the system with minimal specs should be strong enough to render waves more often.

Usually a problem on integrated GPUs or player with older cards, overheating laptops, etc..

[jovial pendant]

Its not a dealbreaker

But it ruins immersion a bit.

She is on a 2070 super

[stark meadow]

Should work fine then. Let her test the FPS next time

Do you have issues with enemies teleporting often as well when playing together?

[jovial pendant]

No. It just seems like a very suboptimal way of making an engine? Where what she sees affects my rendering?

[stark meadow]

It's not about rendering, rather about syncing boat position on network in corelation to the waves.

[jovial pendant]

So why not let the one driving the boat be in chart of syncing?

We are on a dedicated server.

She is also stuttering on my screen when saiiling the boat and when Im in front

[stark meadow]

If you enter the boat first, and they just enter and don't touch anything in the boat, you probably won't see her flickering.

[jovial pendant]

I know its a picture and you cant see the stuutter. But she is flying around behind me.

[stark meadow]

Are you playing atm? Did you check how does the FPS look like?

[jovial pendant]

She is capped at 60 fps

For some reason her PC goes crazy in Valheim with uncapped fps

[stark meadow]

So she has 60FPS cap, and she gets that 60fps when sailing?

[jovial pendant]

Yes.

[stark meadow]

In game V-sync enabled or disabled? In-game FPS limit is enabled or the one in ger graphic control panel?

[jovial pendant]

If we raise it to 100-110 fps her PC starts sounding like a jet engine

We limited the FPS with nvidia

[stark meadow]

So Valheim FPS limiter and V-sync are not enabled?

[jovial pendant]

Yes.

[stark meadow]

It should be working fine then. Seems like something weird is going on then.
Check that you haven't also enabled V-sync in graphic card control panel, and triple buffering along with it.

[jovial pendant]

Does it need to be enabled? Or disabled? VSYNC. I personally disable it everywhere.

[stark meadow]

Theoretically it should be better the way you set it up, but be free to test if there's a difference. You can also test limiting your self to 60 to see if there is a difference.

Are you playing on the same home network?

[jovial pendant]

We are on a 1 gig up/down connection

Playing on a dedicated server located in our country.

[stark meadow]

Check if there is something weird going on with latency during upload and download on site like this: https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat
Test on her PC, once when Valheim is closed, once when when on boat in Valheim.

If everything looks fine as well, might be the boat that's the problem, tried destroying it? Using mods?

[jovial pendant]

This is more or less the same on both PCs

Except her FPS ofc is not 137 🙂

[stark meadow]

Not enough to look at this measurement alone.

Here's an example: https://imgur.com/a/6doO8UT (open link to see album)

[jovial pendant]

Thought. If she is responsible for the syncing, should I also be stuttering on her screen?

Been down the bufferbloat rabbit hole before with another small game we played. It seems some games especially smaller ones are alot more sensitive than others. Never experienced issues in: Dota2, CS 1.6-CS 2, LoL, WoW, Lost Ark, Diablo 3-4, PoE 1+2 etc.

[stark meadow]

What's your buffer bloat score?

These games you listed have dedicated servers which preform network syncing on their end

In Valheim clients do most of the work

Valheim also uses UDP which does not have built-in congestion control or retransmission mechanisms like TCP

[jovial pendant]

I mean we bought a dedicated server. Shouldnt that offload some of the strain to the server?

Instead of being client side.

[stark meadow]

Not really. Calculation are still being done on client side. Primary purpose of dedicated server in Valhiem is to have game running 24/7 so others can connect at any time, without having to render the game.

Have you also tested how boat acts when you host world normally (not dedicated server? Any difference?

[jovial pendant]

I will after we are doing playing. But its a rabbit hole. Because that test puts way more strain on your connection than a game would.

[stark meadow]

Yeah can be a rabbit hole. Had cases where people had VPN and network optimisers inistalled that were the cause of their buffer bloat as well. Some had to call their ISP to switch them to a different CGNAT to fix it.
Are you both wired to home router? Save some of those test results and DM me later if you don't mind.
Good to know for reference (like the album I linked).

[jovial pendant]

Yes. We are both on ethernet cables :d And yes I have turned it OFF and ON again 🤣 ❤️

[errant venture]

I have a problem, my game is constantly crashing and I don't understand why, can someone help me?

[stark meadow]

What are your PC specs? In what way are you crashing? (freeze, black screen with sound, app crashing, PC restarting, ...)

[errant venture]

freeze

and my pc is good

[stark meadow]

Please list your exact PC specs. Valheim doesn't simply freeze or crash.
99% of issues are due to systems being unstable.

[errant venture]

and my pc is good

[stark meadow]

You can go to Steam → Help → System information to gather data about your PC

[errant venture]

Intel core and a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080

CPU: GenuineIntel

[stark meadow]

Should be listed like this:

So the CPU brand is what you are looking for

[stark meadow]

Screen freezes are usually related to GPU issues, sometimes RAM.
Do you know if you updated your Nvidia drivers lately?
Do you have any mods installed along with Valheim vanilla version of the game?

[errant venture]

I don't think I've made any updates and no, I'm playing in vanilla.

[stark meadow]

How long have you been playing Valheim without issues?
Tried playing some other games for longer lately?

[errant venture]

I started playing 2 days ago and I easily crashed 4 times

[stark meadow]

Other games?
Did Valheim freeze every time so far for this 4 times you crashed?

[errant venture]

No, I don't have any crashes with other games, but the rest of the time Valheim is very fluid.

[stark meadow]

When you press start → type Nvidia there → do you see Nvidia app or Nvidia Experience app listed there?

Ever used such an app to optimise Valhiem?

[errant venture]

GeForce® Drivers ??

[stark meadow]

Can you screenshot what you see there on the start when you search for Nvidia?

If you press windows key + shift + S you can capture a portion of the screen with you mouse, which can then be pasted to Discord.

[stark meadow]

You have Nvidia app there at the bottom. You can launch it when it opens, open up graphics tab on the left, you should see Valheim profile there.
Does it say that your game is optimised there or not?

[errant venture]

yes

[stark meadow]

Revert the optimisations by clicking on the revert button.

[errant venture]

ok

[stark meadow]

After that click on the drivers tab. Do you have any drivers available for download there?

You should have a green download button available if you do

[gilded sluice]

Nvidia broadcast was a huge problem for 2 others I've helped rescently 🤔

[errant venture]

this one ?

[stark meadow]

Think you went outside of Nvidia app

It should look like this

[errant venture]

this ?

[stark meadow]

Click on Pilotes on the left

Then you should be able to see green download button

[errant venture]

ok

[stark meadow]

When drivers finish downloading, you should select second option (custom installatoin), which will then offer you to put a checkmark on preforming a clean installation, whcih you should then also select.

[errant venture]

okay

[stark meadow]

Make sure to do these two

When the installation finishes, do NOT optimise Valheim again. Restart PC. Test if Valhiem crashes.

[stark meadow]

Worth a shot to check later. Although it alludes me why people who don't steam have Broadcast installed in the first place.
I didn't get any popups or offers from Nvida nor Microsoft to install it.
@errant venture Do you stream Valheim while playing?

[errant venture]

I tell you if is crashing again

[errant venture]

no

[deft gust]

Hello everyone,

My friends and I as of today can no longer join my other friend his server, we keep getting the "connecting failed message"

• He on the other hand can join our servers.
• No mods
• No one is using VPN
• Verified his game files on Steam
• Firewall is not blocking anything

We have 1500 days on this server and suddenly we can't join anymore.

Help would be very much welcome!

[stark meadow]

How are you all connecting to that server?
Tried deleting the old server entry in favorites tab and add a new one via new join code host must provide?

[deft gust]

We play through Steam

We have not tried that last part

[stark meadow]

Crossplay and join codes are available on Steam by default as well, unless the host disabled crossplay.

[deft gust]

Yes we disabled crossplay

[stark meadow]

How were you usually connecting? Steam invite, favourites tab, recent tab or through friends tab?

[deft gust]

Favorites and through friends tab

[stark meadow]

And when was the last time you successfuly connected like that?

[deft gust]

1 month ago because he can only host when he's not working

We play a month, skip a month. Repeat

He just got back from work today that's when we found out

[stark meadow]

Then you will all have to delete old entries from favorite tab.
Tell the host to start a server with crossplay option disabled still.
Find the server on friends tab, but don't connect to it, rather click on the star icon to move it to favorite.
Then go back to favorite tab, wait 1min, then try to connect to the server through favorites tab.

• Old entries in favorite menu won't work, and connecting via friends menu at might cause network connection issues if you have a lot of friends on Steam (known issues)

[deft gust]

Alright seems simple enough. Will try that tomorrow and let you know if it worked or not.

I'm a little familiar with Steams issues on that part but thanks for reminding me 😃

Thank you for your time

Then you are not crashing, just disconnecting. Why you are disconnecting can be for variaty of reasons.
Using mods? Is your friend also connected on your home network?

[stark meadow]

So using mods and your friend that is hosting is also connected to the Internet though your home network?

[sinful light]

[stark meadow]

Ok, then it's not a local server

You should do this test while Valheim is closed, and then do this test again once Valheim is running and you are on the server, so we can see the difference

You can post your results here after by sharidng the test link

Sure

[manic kettle]

On the Picture to the left is what Ashland's looks to me normally but sometimes when I cross some rendering tiles of sort my graphics glitch in to a sea of lava... and I end up walking into something I'm not suppose to if I would see the normal landscape, this is just a rendering of ground it affects. Game with mod or complete vanilla it's the same, I run the game in 4k or HD 1080p but it's the same, so no clue the only thing left is a complete reinstall of the game and maybe pc cuz this is unplayable. anyone seen anything like it.

[stark meadow]

Seems like mods messed up your game. They can permanently affect saves. Best to restore a backup prior to this happening.

[manic kettle]

Same in Vanilla

[stark meadow]

What do you mean by same in vanilla?

If a save gets loaded with mods, the bug can persist even if mods are removed.

[manic kettle]

same glitch happening regardless if I have mods or not, it is a graphical issue how my GPU interact with the game, it dose not affect gameplay in other ways then i just can't see the real ground in game

[stark meadow]

Does the glitch go away when you restart PC?

Still not sure what you mean by same in vanilla

Same happens in vanilla on a different world where you never used mods?

One can't always simply disable mods and call their world vanilla. Once modded may always remain modded.

[manic kettle]

So just so we can get passed the "New User " talk I'm a PC game user since early 90's so I have taken the normal steps of debugging and yes some steps have been done multiple times.

[manic kettle]

Yes it happens regardless of save and new world, local save or cloud and regardless of moded game or no mods (vanilla) It happens with the terrain in the entire game regardless of biome, but in the other biomes it a different layer of ground that shows just not lave.

[stark meadow]

Does the issue persist over game restarts once it happens or does it reset and becomes fine for while until in happens again?

[manic kettle]

Regardless of how often you restart the game or the pc or the power plant or the universe it still persist .......

How it behave in game it changes every time I cross a border like the line you see in the Right side screen shot

And it shows like sometimes the lava on ground that have been disturbed and not anything else and sometimes it show on regular ground but not sloped or modified ground

[stark meadow]

So you create a new world in vanilla, cross a zone border and terrain immediately gets broken? Or does it take some time and running/flying over the world until it gets broken?
What CPU/GPU do you have?
How long does it take for you to launch the game? (since you press launch on steam until you get to the main menu?
Are you playing on a unconventional drive setup, like external hard drive, RAID, etc..?

[manic kettle]

I know most likely an entirely fresh reinstall of PC will most likely solve it but then it can happen again down the road, so hence I try to figure it out and solve it if possible. I have a 4090 and the game is on my M2 drive, common setup nothing exotic, Updated drivers for everything, and less then 5 months since last fresh install of Win 10, I have about 2100 hours in Valheim I been running mods for years and have a good grasp at the most basic things game vice. The problem started about 3 weeks ago and I been trying to solve it on my own since then. (Btw English is not my native languish)

[stark meadow]

Which CPU?

So you create a new world in vanilla, cross a zone border and terrain immediately gets broken? Or does it take some time and running/flying over the world until it gets broken?

[manic kettle]

this happens from the get go, no delay once I cross a graphical border it delaminates and glitch and bounce back eventually until I cross another border of sort

[stark meadow]

Plese report back on which CPU you have as well.

Last person and the only other person who reported this was @brazen jacinth here: #steam-bugs-discussion message
Didn't hear from them after they supposedly fixed their issue by restoring an older world backup.
So both of your stories don't really match up, except that it happens both in vanilla worlds (which wasn't confirmed either).

We don't have any info from Shmitty about which specs they were playing on.

Rendering of textures issue points to GPU issues, but the fact that the issue gets triggered when crossing cell borders points to CPU and memory issues.

Can you trigger the issue in vanilla, and once the issuse happens, send me the player.log file?

[manic kettle]

Old CPU Soon to be upgraded, but been running this game for a year with out any problems on this setup.

[manic kettle]

this is the GPU spec

[manic kettle]

Yes I can but not right way, Got some appointments to take care of so maybe later today.

[gilded sluice]

what motheboard are you on mate? 🤔

[gilded sluice]

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpu-drivers/game-developers-urge-nvidia-rtx-30-and-40-series-owners-rollback-to-december-2024-driver-after-recent-rtx-50-centric-release-issues

oof btw

[manic kettle]

Also due to upgrade. All driver to both MB drivers and Bios up to date.

[gilded sluice]

thankfully your motherboard got a PCI-E 4.0 port

you got 1833Mh> RAM?

[manic kettle]

Sorry forgot this

[manic kettle]

Problem have been solved .... did a complete uninstall of valheim and deleted the steam game folder. on the test both 1080P and 4K have been stable and no graphical problems. going to start applying mods 1 at the time and see if this has any issues if not , my conclusion is a corrupt file from some random event in the game folder. And if it's a Mod that made the problem and it returns I will get back to you and make the issue known.

[gilded sluice]

nice

[manic kettle]

I been digging around Ashlands all afternoon looking for the bug, all 33 mods are back and I'm not any smarter about the problem... while I was contemplating most of the possible reasons for the bug I took the time to make you a cozy hut as tnx for the help and time on the subject!

[gilded sluice]

might been some mod needing an update possible 🤔

[manic kettle]

🤷‍♂️

[gilded sluice]

we also updated today

[manic kettle]

I had the problem for a long time, in the regular biomes I did not care a lot but in ash lands it made it unplayable. If I trigger it again I make sure to let you know.

[robust rain]

Neck trophy is suddely facing down, not up, on a horizontal item stand

Basically identical to the vertical item stand

[gilded sluice]

it's intentional

alot of trophies on item stands have been changed

[robust rain]

:/

[gilded sluice]

I will look into them tomorrow. some are wierd and have the same rotation on both horizontal and vertical item stands

[robust rain]

So what's the point in the different stands if they face the same direction now

Please reconsider it it was fine as it was

[granite flint]

yup i just found that out as well, the small item stands have rotated, that and now when i press the print screen button on my keyboard the game minimizes..... Anyway, i removed the image i don't know if i ever used gizmo on those stands because it's a very old world lol although i did start it 100% vanilla i'm just not sure anymore about those item stands but the print screen button minimizing the game is new for me since the update

[stark meadow]

Game minimising when pressing PrintScreen key shouldn't have anything to do with Valheim.

Check what 3rd party apps you have active, and what key gets registered when you press PrtSc key online:
https://en.key-test.ru/

[granite flint]

no 3rd party apps and worked yesterday and nothing changed besides the game

print screen works normal everywhere i try

that link didn't help tho but for some reason it seems to work again... friggin Windows..

[distant valley]

I don't know, sometimes like in your example I wish they would face the same way so they're not tilted weirdly when placed on a table. But I agree in principle

[young walrus]

Thought I was going crazy! Was there a mention of this anywhere?

[robust rain]

Nope :/ all "patchnotes" from today are just April Fool's jokes...

[young walrus]

All the more reason to use gizmo I guess. Or some mod thats going to revert this ^^

[marble wolf]

I don't see how an April Fools prank requires using mods.

[young walrus]

Why didnt you just let me waste time redoing the chandelier 😋

[robust rain]

It's not a prank sadly

[young walrus]

Why couldnt it be?

[robust rain]

because of this

[gilded sluice]

my collegues told me it's intentional

[young walrus]

Ahh so there was mention of it!

[gilded sluice]

no

not publicly

it's a back end fix to make it easier for our graphics team to add things to item stands

[young walrus]

but on discord by someone in the know

Good to know

[marble wolf]

My bad, didn't quite realise what you were discussing.

[young walrus]

Time to figure out new chandeliers 🙂

[robust rain]

Go upvote my suggestion pls ❤️

[young walrus]

Hope it helps

[distant valley]

Anyone having issues with spawn suppression following the patch? Had a deathsquito and a fuling spawn in places they definitely should not have.

Having a similar issue with surtling trophies now standing straight up on horizontal stands... makes my fake fire not work quite as well

but the placeable stone helps at least

[iron steppe]

this is apparently an intentional change

[iron steppe]

are you running any mods?

[distant valley]

No

[viral temple]

hey guys, weird problem here i am hoping for help with: i am trying to join a friend hosted server i have played many hours on before, but when i join everything is broken. The map is as it is when we first loaded into the server but nothing is there, no mobs, no animals, no plants, no trees, no structures, generated or otherwise. im really confused, all i did to join him was what i normally do, join through his name on steam and click on join game, then it takes me to the choose character screen and i select my character. the disconnect button is also flashing in the top left corner of my screen. i recently did a migration of my operating system and had to reinstall all of my steam games and valhiem was one of them, not sure if that matters but i dont know what else it could be as i already uninstalled the game twice to try and fix it and it still isnt working. any help is appreciated, Thanks!

[gilded sluice]

do you use VPN ?

[viral temple]

OMG I DO

[gilded sluice]

don't 😄

[viral temple]

Thanks

Not sure what I was thinking

[gilded sluice]

valheim traffic between client <--> client or client <--> crossplay server <--> client doesn't really work to well

[robust rain]

🤔

[gilded sluice]

You might need to re visst hildir to get an updated location for it 🥲

Content updates switch locations of POIs in unexplored areas.

@stark meadow It worked, thank you very much

[short blade]

Yeah, plz reverse this change. It's ruined some of my shelves, and many of my rug decorations.

Here's a weird one:
The wiki shows it should take 1xp to get to lvl1 on all skills, for example.
Wiki states that axes give 1.5xp per attack on a creature - checked this on a new character, everything is kosher.

Cooking, however, is weird:
Wiki states: "1 per food craft, 0.4 when placing items on a Cooking station, 0.6 when picking items"
However, it actually takes four food crafts to get to level 1, or four cooks (adding a meat, waiting for it to cook, and taking it off) to get to level 1
The trend continues for levels two, three and four - requiring 8, 13 and 18 crafts to level up (I stopped after that point because it seemed to follow expectations)

I grabbed a save editor and checked a new character that I've been checking this against, and after three food crafts, it shows me as having 0.75exp in cooking.
What I find strange is that the wiki seems to have the 1x from cauldron and 0.4x + 0.6x from cooking station correct...

I'm unsure if this is intentional, and the wiki is wrong (though it seems correct, considering - or if this is unintentional)

Same here, some decor I had since 2021 is now basically unusuable

[short blade]

I'm not going to pop the trophies out, because it was a real pain in the ass to get them in place. I'm just going to be patient, and hope it's reversed

This is one of my decorations for instance. I don't want the bloody neck showing.

[gilded sluice]

[robust rain]

Hello everyone ! Just wanted to mention some things I noticed about items; more specifically vegetables and berries.

-Turnips and onions stand up straight when placed on an item stand. This used not to be the case. Carrots are fine.

-Raspberries and blueberries "sink" and clip through the stand (and the table beneath) when placed on an item stand. This, too, used not to be an issue. Cloudberries are unaffected by it.

I'm on a private server, vanilla game, no mods whatsoever.

Here are some screenshots.

Thanks, and have a good one !

[gilded sluice]

we know about it

[civic grotto]

Then sorry for the spam. :/

Also, unrelated, a huge thank you to everyone involved in the creation of Valheim! I've been having a blast on the game ever since I discovered it. :3

[gilded sluice]

np about reporting the same issue 🙂

[distant valley]

Seen reports of people having issues with crafting benches, being unable to craft things or unable to upgrade things

[dusky lion]

is it a bug or a feature that morgen holes can be completely sectioned off so that only the first part is accessable? backroom contains two chest a bunch more things, it's like there is a rockwall spawned right where it should be an opening. if I use debugmode and fly with running I can get through to the backroom so to speak. the hole is really tiny as a result, with backroom it's normal sized of course...

[stark meadow]

It's intentional. You shouldn't see it tho on new worlds anymore I think

[dusky lion]

This is a map I started two days ago

sometimes it spawns correctly though, so it's a full cave

[stark meadow]

Can you type printseeds when you are in that cave with walled of section and past the result?

[stark meadow]

Don't see you being in a putrid hole here

You have to be in a case when doing the command

[dusky lion]

I am

had to turn 180 so I could give visuals, kinda dark in the place x)

[stark meadow]

Might not be working for this location specifically. Can you check which morgen hole is it, by using printlocations and checking which morgenhole is closes to you

Best to use command outside of the cave

Or type "pos" for your position so I can check the exact cave

[dusky lion]

thats taken directly outside the entrance

[stark meadow]

See it now, that one would be unintentional, since it still spawns on new world

[dusky lion]

aight thank you, then I know it's not intended, I'll just have that cave as a backup then for the morgen sinew

it was my first cave as i get off the boat, worked a few times and been sealed off a few times

alas demoted to backup cave x)

[balmy garnet]

Is this considered a bug?

[stark meadow]

Kinda. Some locations rotate in the world when they get spawned, which will probably be fixed and stop trees from going into them.

[balmy garnet]

The only crypt in the swamp and it was blocked. 😭

[gilded sluice]

you can just go as close as you can, and press E to enter

that's far from the worst I've seen

[gaunt mist]

Except you cannot enter sunken crypts by pressing E, but in other dungeons you can.

[balmy garnet]

^

[gilded sluice]

ah right. you can't cheat that by the entrance anymore

[halcyon saddle]

Having an issue where all my valheim worlds fail to load. It gives me the error sauying load failed check backups. This is validated by the side window with all that code running that says the world file failed to load and it returns me to title menu.

I have tried deleting all the mods I previously had with no positive change.
I have validated game files with no errors.

At one point I was able to make a new world and move around in it and all that like normal, but then when I tried to load it up again it failed like the rest.

I recently tried to import some world save files from a few previous sessions hosted by other players that shared the world file with me which I placed in the local world file folder.

That is all the relevant information I can remember.

[gilded sluice]

you need to actually go into the valheim install folder and delete the entire things

mods leave files even after uninstalling

open steam library -> valheim -> right click -> properties -> installed files. blick the [Browse..] button

only these files should be there. but you can just delete all of them and then verify your install

[halcyon saddle]

Thanks I will give this a try

[gilded sluice]

👍

[halcyon saddle]

Loading an old creative world and I believe it is building the ashlands which it did not attempt before, so that is interesting

[atomic hull]

who will help you get to the player

[iron steppe]

It’s even worse than that. Not only can the room be totally blocked off, but Morgan’s can smack you through those wall types, trapping you inside.

Source; one of my recent speed runs.

My guess is the game is doing a collision check on the final push back location, but not along the whole path. So that it thinks it’s ok, but you get smacked through the wall. Only occurs on those thin walls.

It’s happen to me twice. Once into a locked room. The other to the outside of the cave , so at least that one I could fall down the world to escape.

No mods etc.

[terse elk]

has anyone encountered this issue before?

i already submitted a report earlier today using the website , i dont know which one of the two i was supposed to use , but i figured might aswell give a headsup here too

[gilded sluice]

yes. it's usually broken mods causing that issue

even when you remove the old mods, the issue still persists

[tame beacon]

I need help, I suppose the workbench should be lvled up to 4 but it only registers 1 upgrade.. Anyone having this kind of issue?

[gilded sluice]

do you or someone you play with use any mods?

[terse elk]

hello and thank you for the information , is there a way to resolve the issue then? even when i dont use the mod launchers the issue is still there

[stark meadow]

Press alt+enter two times when you encounter this after laucnhing the game

[terse elk]

will do 🫡

alt+enter 1 time did the trick , i will attempt using mods now

everything is working fine after launching with mods , thank you for your time good sirs 🫡

[iron steppe]

Did you destroy the workbench and rebuild it? The upgrades might be slightly too far.

[tame beacon]

If you look at the picture they are all next to the wb

[tame beacon]

Happens on both vanilla or modded. Any idea what mod causing this?

[iron steppe]

Could be any mod. No one here will be able to help; but mods are the problem. Doesn’t happen on normal non-modded. (If you try non-modded on same world, it’s probably still broken from the mod)

[gilded sluice]

if you just knock those workbench and addons down and re-place them. still not working?

[fossil ingot]

Joining codes stopped working altogether.

We used to play with friends using Nucleus Coop (one of the friends doesn't have a PC). An up until the patch 220 everything was fine, but ever since the 220 and onwards stuff just stopped working. And it's not like join codes are only broken on Nucleus. No. They just don't work at all. Even Steam to Steam, it just doesn't work.

We seek help

[stark meadow]

If join coded don't work in general, you probably have VPN active in background disrupting it

[fossil ingot]

Nope, no VPN, no nothing. It doesn't work for anyone

[stark meadow]

Think I told you this on reddit as well

Can you host a world atm?

Send me your join code and pass

[fossil ingot]

K let's try, wait a min

It's up

It's 507213
And tha pass is 56789

See if it works

[stark meadow]

Connected without problems

[fossil ingot]

Weird

[tame beacon]

Seems it is server side issue. Another player posted it just now.. Thx guys will wait for server admins to update there.

[stark meadow]

Who usually hosts the server?

[fossil ingot]

I host it on the friends PC who owns the world we play in

[stark meadow]

So you usually host it, just like you are hosting it now? (now using the same PC)?

[fossil ingot]

Yeah

[stark meadow]

Let's continue this in DMs

[fossil ingot]

We shall
