VALHEIM.MAP

Valheim 0.217.28

The seasonal Jack-o-turnip and a new Pointy hat are now available in the default version of the game. The patch also moves the game to Unity 2022, which means worlds used in this update cannot be loaded in earlier versions. Several performance improvements, a new Render scale setting and a handful of fixes are included as well.

New content 3

  • The Jack-o-turnip is enabled for the autumn season.

Changes and balancing 9

  • Enemy AI and underwater logic have been optimized.
  • Dedicated servers get engine-side optimizations.
  • Objects can again hold more than 255 KVPs of arbitrary data of the same value type, which matters for some mods.
