HappyDiggers Valheim Server

New Valheim version is: 0.211.7.

public { buildid 9592606 timeupdated 1664278565 } default_old { buildid 9384143 description Previous stable timeupdated 1664278005 }

This patch includes full crossplay support, which means that you will be able to play with any other Valheim player, no matter where they’re playing from. If your friends get the game through a different platform, you’ll be able to join their game and show them the ropes. Or why not invite them over to your world and show them all your cool buildings?

Our friends at Piktiv have worked hard to make sure the game looks and feels the same regardless of what platform you’re using, but the patch does entail a minor change to the GUI in the starting menu in order to make other people’s worlds as smooth as possible. If you’re playing as a Steam player with other Steam players, it will work just the same as before (with the addition of now being able to mark a server as favourite). If one or more players are playing from a different platform, there will instead be a join code that you can use in order to enter the game.

Dedicated server hosts will need to enable crossplay if they want non-Steam players to be able to join, and the dedicated servers will then be joinable both with the regular IP address, and with the new join codes.

As always, make sure your game has the same patch version as your friends’, or else connecting to each other might not work. You’ll find the version number in the bottom right corner of your main menu screen.


Detailed patch notes:

Crossplay support added

• ‘Manage saves’ GUI added so that it’s easier for players to restore/remove saves & backups
• Minor network optimization for in-game hosting (Less demanding for the host when other players are in the game at the same time)
• 'Join Game' tab has been updated. Players can now add favourite servers, and see if a server is running, and if they support crossplay or not.**
• Players can now use the parameter ‘-crossplay’ while running Dedicated servers to support crossplay. When using this parameter, the backend will be running Playfab instead of Steamworks. (A ‘Join code’ will appear when you join a Dedicated server supporting crossplay. Players can use this code to join the server. This Join code is regenerated whenever the server is restarted.)
• A new branch, "default_old", has been added, where you can play on the previous Steam version of the game in case your server hasn't been updated yet (Steam might need a restart for the branch to show up)

**A question mark indicates that a server status is uncertain, while a red X indicates that the server is down. If there is a “shuffle” icon next to the server status, that means the server supports crossplay.

New Valheim version is: 0.211.8.

Abbreviated Patch Notes

• Left handed mouse fixed
• Manual saving bug fixed
• Swap Triggers controller option added
• Text & UI fixes
• Performance & various bug fixes

Detailed Patch Notes

Fixes & Improvements

• Manual save no longer causes you to respawn where you saved and can be called to a dedicated server if you are on the admin list
• Left handed mouse should now work correctly again
• Added “Swap Triggers” to control options, to be able to fix a potential issue for PlayStation controllers
• Fixed performance issues in main menu
• Fixed some special characters appearing as squares and symbols should look more like they did before
• Hovertext and text input on signs should now be displayed correctly and can use \t and \n symbols

New Valheim version is: 0.214.300.

public { buildid 10874831 timeupdated 1680087511 } default_old { buildid 10699937 description Previous stable timeupdated 1680011243 } default_preml { buildid 9792153 description Last stable build before Mistlands timeupdated 1671524488 }

Time for some hotfixes! This patch should fix an issue where Xbox players and PC players got different heightmaps, which could cause a player to appear to fly in the air or walk below ground. Unfortunately, if an Xbox player has built in an area like this, this change will cause buildings to collapse. We sincerely apologise for this, but it was important to make this change now to prevent further issues later down the line.

Something else that we are working on is a fix to the issue where Xbox worlds have been resetting to day 1 after reaching a certain size. We have identified the problem and believe we have found a solution to it, which should be featured in the next patch. For now, we apologise and thank you for your patience.

Remember that you can use the “Manage Saves” button in the world selection to recover an earlier version of your world if you’ve run into any world issues. And also, if you are having an unplayable game in the latest patch, you can always run the last stable version by changing to the ‘default_old’ branch on Steam.

In this patch we finally have a fix for the issue that caused worlds of a certain size to be reset to Day 1 on Xbox consoles. We are deeply sorry that people have been losing progress, and we hope that things will run smoothly from here on out.

If you have lost progress, you should now be able to restore some of it by using the “Manage saves” section in the main menu, provided that you still have backups with sufficient data.

This version may be displayed in the logs as .305 but .300 in the menu because of platform differences, but these are in fact the same version. We will rework the versioning for this in an upcoming patch and apologise for any confusion.


Detailed Patch Notes:

Fixes & Improvements:

• Minor UI performance fixes
• Fixed a bug that could occur when rebinding keys

Console:

• Worlds on Xbox will no longer reset to Day 1 once they reach a certain size

New Valheim version is: "gameversion"="0.215.2","networkversion"="1".

Today’s patch includes some further fixes for Xbox issues, among other things! There will be a few more patches before all the Xbox issues have been fully resolved, but this is at the very least a step in the right direction.

Patch notes:

Fixes & Improvements:

• Backups are no longer deleted after being restored, so the same backup can now be restored multiple times.
• World saves with missing .fwl files now show up in the Manage Saves menu so that they can be deleted.
• Fixed a bug where backups couldn't be restored if the main save file was missing its .fwl file.
• Fixed a bug that made world saves in cloud storage create a blank .old file when saving, instead of no .old file.
• Player & ship markers are now shown correctly above map pins on the minimap
• Lighting effects reduced when using “reduce flashing lights” setting for Eikthyr antlers, all boss spawning, guardian power and boss stone activation
• Network compatibility version is now displayed separately in the console and log file and each non-pc platform has a platform prefix in the version text

Console:

• Improved stability and performance of world saving to decrease chance of saves being corrupted on microsoft store and xbox
• Save files that were corrupted as a result of incomplete file operations in cloud storage are detected and can no longer be started as empty worlds
• Fixed a bug where the time stamps of cloud saves were retrieved as UTC instead of local time.

New Valheim version is: "gameversion"="0.216.9","networkversion"="5".

public { buildid 11422041 timeupdated 1686571332 } default_old { buildid 10946506 description Previous stable timeupdated 1686571268 } default_preml { buildid 9792153 description Last stable build before Mistlands timeupdated 1671524488 }

This patch includes a lot of optimisations for many underlying systems of the game – this to improve in-game performance for both small and large worlds, network performance, load times and to drastically decrease save file sizes. We hope that these changes will be a significant improvement for some of you!

You’ll also find the midsummer items enabled again, so place down a maypole and go dancing!
