Valheim 0.218.17

This public test build, which may be unstable, adjusts the Ashlands so several enemies appear less often. Flametal spires no longer sink into the lava when you mine them. There are also technical fixes for Xbox and Mac.

Fixes 9

  • Flametal spires no longer submerge when mined.
  • Voltures no longer make walking sounds while flying.
  • Fixed a block list bug that let you block yourself.
  • Xbox: fixed a bug where the game treated every player in the player list as the local player, which broke privilege checks and affected player communication management, display names and GamerPics, and multiplayer session state.
  • Xbox: fixed a bug involving Joinable Game Sessions and Online Play.
  • Xbox One: fixed an error caused by Mouse.current returning null when no mouse is plugged in.
  • Mac: precise scrolling availability is now cached and only updated when the input layout changes, instead of being polled, which helps especially on slower Macs.
  • Mac: the scroll modifier native plugin is now applied only while scrolling, and the scroll value is set in Update(), which lowers resource use on weaker systems.
  • Mac: the Game Center platform id is now registered without the "A:_" prefix, so muting MAS players through the player list works as expected.
