VALHEIM.MAP

Valheim 0.217.43

This public test build is unstable and meant for finding bugs before the release to everyone. It upgrades the Unity engine and changes how locations, dungeons and rooms are loaded to improve performance. It also adds a long list of fixes covering spawning, building pieces, text, boats and memory use, in preparation for the upcoming Ashlands update.

Changes and balancing 10

  • The Unity engine is upgraded to 2022.3.17f.
  • Locations, dungeons and rooms are now loaded and unloaded differently to improve performance, and this change will affect many mods.
  • Naturally spawned beds can now be removed with the hammer.
  • Elder no longer spawns on his altar.
  • Weight text in tooltips now shows both the individual weight and the total weight of stacked items.
  • Camera rotation on gamepads is tweaked to behave much more like it does on mouse and keyboard, so the two now act the same way.
  • Players can now find friends on Xbox/MS Store through the friends tab in the server browser.
  • The low disk space warning is improved.
  • The minimap is optimised to reduce FPS drops with many map markers, and its creation is now cached to speed up startup.
  • Validating IP addresses is faster, which speeds up loading.

Fixes 14

  • Seasonal groups that stretched across a year change now work in the new year.
  • Terrain modifications around locations now apply properly, and old pre-Mistlands terrain modifications now blend with newer ones, though you must run the "optterrain" command to update the terrain.
  • Geirrhafa and Brenna no longer respawn after a game restart.
  • Several blocklist bugs are fixed, including one where it allocated 2GB of RAM; it now allocates only what is needed.
  • A memory leak when highlighting building objects is fixed.
  • The point emote now orients the player properly.
  • Keyboard arrow-key menu navigation no longer stops working after leaving the settings menu with ESC or the back button, and the window no longer resizes wrongly when exiting settings.
  • Some UI elements no longer flicker at low FPS, and the Sun shafts and Soft particles graphic settings now toggle properly.
  • Turnips now stack in the inventory like other vegetables, and items no longer move around in the inventory UI when upgraded.
  • Missing or wrong text is fixed for the Fermenter without a roof, the Kiln, the cartography table and windmill, and weight display in Turkish.
  • Text alignment is fixed in the manage saves menu for some languages, and items in merchants' stores are now centered.
  • The "Cage floor" 1x1 piece now has consistent support calculations, and banners no longer leave a gap when placed.
  • Boat and creature ownership problems are fixed: creature positions update correctly on transfer, boat ownership works after a client disconnects, and boats no longer stop suddenly on transfer or while someone uses the boat storage.
  • Sails now blow in the correct direction relative to the wind, and knocking back an enemy on a slope no longer affects the player who dealt it.

Other 3

  • An issue with Linux dedicated servers is fixed.
  • An issue with cloud saves on Microsoft Store is fixed.
  • A bug that skipped 2 days instead of 1 when only Xbox clients were connected to a dedicated server is fixed.
