VALHEIM.MAP

Valheim 0.217.46

Patch 0.217.46 upgrades the Unity engine to 2022.3.17f and changes how locations and dungeons are loaded, aiming to improve performance. It also fixes a long list of bugs covering spawning, building pieces, boats, text in several languages, and the minimap. Modders are told the engine and loading changes will most likely affect their mods.

Changes and balancing 10

  • Locations, dungeons and rooms are now loaded and unloaded in a different way, and the Unity engine has been upgraded to 2022.3.17f.
  • Players who tested PTB patch 0.217.43, removed a world, and then made a new world with the same name must delete the files [mapname]_forestMaskTexture, [mapname]_heightTexture and [mapname]_mapTexture from their worlds folder.
  • Tooltips now show both the individual weight and the total weight of stacked items.
  • Naturally spawned beds can now be removed with the hammer.
  • Gamepad camera rotation now behaves much more like mouse and keyboard, and gamepad and mouse now act the same way.
  • Portals are no longer connected once the portal they were linked to is destroyed.
  • Players on Xbox or the MS Store can now find friends through the friends tab in the server browser.
  • The low disk space warning has been improved, and a warning is now shown if dependencies are not installed.
  • The minimap is optimised to cut FPS drops with many map markers, and minimap creation is cached for faster startup.
  • Checking IP addresses is faster, and a loading threading issue was fixed, both of which shorten load times.

Fixes 14

  • Seasonal groups that spanned a year change now work in the new year.
  • Terrain modifications around locations are applied properly, and old pre-Mistlands terrain modifications now blend with newer ones (run the "optterrain" command to update the terrain).
  • Elder no longer spawns on his altar, and Geirrhafa and Brenna no longer respawn after a game restart.
  • Turnips now stack in the inventory like other vegetables.
  • Boat fixes: ownership problems after a client disconnects are fixed, boats no longer stop suddenly when ownership is transferred or someone opens the boat storage, and sails now blow in the right direction relative to the wind.
  • Creature position now updates properly when ownership is transferred, and dealing knockback to an enemy on a slope no longer affects the player doing it.
  • Fixed support calculations for the "Cage floor" 1x1 piece and a gap when placing banners.
  • Several text problems were fixed: missing text for a Fermenter without a roof, hardcoded Kiln text, missing text when using an item on a cartography table or windmill, missing weight display for many items in Turkish, and text not centered vertically in the manage saves menu in some languages.
  • Items in merchants' stores are now centered, and items no longer shift in the inventory UI when upgraded.
  • Menu fixes: keyboard arrow navigation works again after leaving settings with ESC or back, some UI elements no longer flicker at low FPS, and the window no longer resizes wrongly when leaving settings.
  • The Sun shafts and Soft particles graphic settings now toggle properly, and the point emote orients the player correctly.
  • Memory fixes: a leak when highlighting building objects is gone, and the blocklist no longer allocates 2GB of RAM but only what it needs. Multiple other blocklist bugs were also fixed.
  • Fixed a bug that skipped 2 days instead of 1 when only Xbox clients were connected to a dedicated server, an issue with Linux dedicated servers, and an issue with cloud saves on Microsoft Store.
  • On Xbox and Microsoft Store, the server browser friends tab now shows friends' servers, which it previously did not do at all.
