Valheim 1.0.17

Patch 1.0.17 is a small bug fixing release. Its most important change addresses a rare bug that could wipe objects from parts of your world. Crossplay keeps working even while the patch reaches every platform over the next few days, so you can keep playing with friends on any platform.

What was fixed

• World save bug: A rare bug could erase all objects in parts of the world when one large world save chunk file was split into smaller ones. This has been fixed.
• Invalid item types: Invalid item types caused buggy behaviour, most notably an invalid shield of root variant that was available in 1.0.15 on PlayStation®5. Invalid styles now reset to the default style and continue functioning normally.
• Credits: The credits, which were hidden in 1.0.16, are visible again.
