Valheim News

One more bug fixing patch to some PlayFab related issues. And the Jack-o-turnip is buildable now too, to brighten up those dark autumn nights…

[h3]Patch Notes:[/h3]

Fixes & Improvements:

* Fixed a Linux-specific bug that deleted characters/worlds when moving them back and forth between Local and Cloud
* Prevent joining servers from the main menu if incompatible server version right away (instead of loading and then kicking you back out)
* More PlayFab tweaks
* Enabled Jack-o-turnip seasonal decoration item

This update is for the Public Test branch of Valheim, and may therefore be unstable. Before we launch this update to the Default version of the game, we want to make sure to have a chance to discover bugs and adjust the balancing, to give you the best game experience possible.
Access the Public Test branch by right clicking Valheim in your Steam library, and then select ‘Properties’. In the new window, select ‘Betas’ and type in the code “yesimadebackups”. The Public Test branch should now be available for you to choose from.
Please leave any feedback you may have in the appropriate channel in our Discord, or in the subforum here on Steam.
As always, remember to be considerate towards players not partaking in the Public Test, in case they want to avoid spoilers.
As the password indicates, please make sure to make backups of your save files before playing.

Another round of bug fixing for the crossplay function. There are some further known issues still, but we're working on having them solved as soon as possible!

* This patch features multiple changes from the PlayFab backend. The majority of these changes include stabilising connection issues, as well as fixing send/receive limitations in multiplayer.

Valheim was a surprise hit early last year and to date has now sold over 10 million copies. As of today, you no longer need to buy the viking fantasy survival game if you want to try it, assuming you have a subsription to PC Game Pass.
