Hungry For A Snack?

Hello again vikings!

We hope you’ve all had a wonderful summer thus far, even with the heatwaves rolling in all over the world. The Iron Gate team has taken some time off to get some new energy, as is customary here in Sweden, but now we’re back at our desks and are already hard at work to bring you the next Valheim update.

We are aware that there has been an unfortunate issue with crashing over the past month. A fix for this is underway and is currently being tested, and we hope to have the solution done soon. In the meantime, if you should have your game crash and your save reset as a result, you can follow this guide in order to restore your progress.

We are also working on the Mistlands! It’s going to be quite a chunky update, with a lot of things we haven’t shown yet. Naturally it will have new resources, which also means new recipes. The other week, for example, one of our 3D artists did a lot of work on the food for the biome. The balancing still needs some work, but the menu is mostly set. Any guesses as to what the various meals could be?



Earlier in the summer we showed you a little teaser of the things you can build with the new Black Marble material which you’ll be able to find around the Mistlands. A lot of you seemed pretty excited about that, so we thought we’d show you a bit more! We’re really looking forward to seeing your creations once you get your hands on these build pieces!



Build of the Month


Even though you don’t have the Black Marble building pieces just yet, you all still impress us with your building skills! This time we want to highlight this work by TheFr1endlygamr. Well done! If you’d like a chance to have your building featured here, just use the hashtag #ValheimBotM on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. You can check out previous winners in this thread here on Steam.



May your axes stay sharp!

Happy Midsummer!

Greetings vikings!

This week it’s time for both Midsummer and the summer solstice, which has long since been a cause for celebration here in the north! Just like last year, you can celebrate in Valheim by building your own Maypole (or Midsummer pole, as we call them in Sweden). This year we’ve also added a flower crown, and some more colourful banners, to make the summer even more festive. We hope you’ll have some fun with it!



As we added the new items, we also updated the game with the Steam Cloud save fix that we have mentioned in previous blog posts. Hopefully this should mean a smoother game experience for all of you, and we want to thank everyone who helped test the update in the Public Test branch!

Last week we revealed that Valheim will be coming to the Microsoft store as well as Xbox and will feature full crossplay support with Steam players. These ports are being handled by two external teams, while we here at Iron Gate keep focusing on the Mistlands update.

And speaking of the Mistlands! For the teasers this week, we thought we’d share something that’s also a bit summer themed. We don’t want the Mistlands update to only be about the Mistlands – we also want there to be some new content in the earlier gameplay leading up to the new biome. A significant such addition will be an upgrade to the fish; there will be new types, they’ll come in different sizes, and you’ll be able to mount your most impressive catches on item stands! While they’re still swimming the fish will also jump above the surface, to give it all an even more atmospheric touch.



Last time we showed some concept art of the forge which will be a part of the Mistlands update. Many speculated about what it might be made of, and what you might create with it, and it’s a lot of fun to read your theories! Just to get you to speculate a bit further, we thought we’d share a screenshot of how the model looks now that it’s implemented into the game:



And last, but certainly not least, we would like to show you one of the creatures you can encounter in the Mistlands. Ticks are quite a common summer occurrence in Sweden, after all, though thankfully they don’t quite reach this size…



Build of the Month

This month, we have chosen a creation made by Gamerrockz22. Sometimes smaller buildings can be just as impressive as grand castles!

Have a wonderful summer!

Patch 0.209.10

Yet another hotfix, fixes issue with world creation caused by the steam cloud-save overhaul.

Again, sorry if this caused issues for some of you.

Patch 0.209.9

Dedicated-server world loading fix.

This patch fixes the world load issue introduced in 0.209.8, causing dedicated servers to fail to load worlds saved in the now legacy “worlds/” directory (and instead creating a new empty world)

Unfortunately if you already got a world-reset caused by this, try removing the broken world from "worlds_local/" (but don’t touch “worlds/” ). This will make the server load the original working world from “worlds/” instead.

We're really sorry about this, thank you for being understanding!
