Valheim 0.214.2

New content 4

• A manual save button in the pause menu shows the time of your last save, and a saving icon now appears on the HUD.
• Munin has been added to Ribcage locations in the Mistlands.
• An alternative controller layout is available and the default layout is more readable; build snapping is a toggle in the alternative layout and shows an icon when active.
• A new setting lets you turn off distant shadows completely.

Changes and balancing 11

• The Mistlands giant helmet and sword now drop both iron and copper scrap as intended.
• The chance of starred ticks has been raised from 10% to 20%, as intended.
• Button prompts have a new visual style with some missing buttons added, and key hints now appear in a horizontal line in all the places they are needed.
• The build menu is wider so it no longer overlaps other interface items.
• The durability bar on items in the inventory and action bar now shows only when the item is damaged.
• The "bad connection icon" is delayed while the game is saving.
• Kicked players now get a proper message.
• Language can be changed without restarting the game.
• If a server cannot be joined because of a version mismatch or another restriction, you are told immediately when you try to join from the server list rather than after the game loads.
• Gamepad navigation is smoother: the D-Pad works in all menus, crafting menus and the quick use bar cycle, the sticks move between a container and your inventory, and a crafting station is focused when you open it.
• All game texts have been optimised for better clarity and performance.

Fixes 7

• Seeker soldiers and ticks now respawn correctly in dungeons.
• The Mistlands boss should no longer escape her room on rare occasions, thanks to changes in how object ownership is handled when passed to another player.
• Projectiles no longer sometimes miss when they clearly should have hit.
• The thatch roof i-corner 45o can now support itself and protects the beams beneath it from rain, and the middle beam point on the thatch and darkwood roof top 26o is fixed.
• Servers that were being pinged no longer show as offline.
• Menu selection markers now display correctly in all languages, and Haldor's lines are translated correctly.
• Several cases of losing focus with a gamepad are fixed, and the skills menu now works with a gamepad and shows tooltips correctly.
