I know nothing worthwhile about renting, but I have run it on a headless Linux server, and it's extremely easy with LGSM (Linux game server manager), like a couple console commands and it's done.

I don't have a spare PC to use as a server so we rent from survivalservers.com and it's worked well. We had one outage that they fixed real quick and their control panel is on the better side compared to some places I've dealt with. I'm pretty excited for Mistlands. Caves got me back into the game for a hot minute but you know what to expect pretty quickly and they don't really push you to explore further, just to do more thorough mountain explorations (which is good). Mistlands will give us a whole new biome full of views and vistas and ways to die horribly.

I stood up https://hub.docker.com/r/lloesche/valheim-server on Ubuntu on a spare mac mini I had laying around pretty easily because it supports Valheim Plus natively. I can post my startup script (minus passowords) if you'd like (it has the V+ config in it). Linux Game Server Manager looks simialrly easy.

If you cant do it on your own machine, we've been using g-portal for a year and its been great, zero issues. They have Valheim+ integrated as an option too so its easy to get a modded server going.

we really should get all the goons on one server, including friends. the game gets old fast enough that i doubt you'd see too many people on at any one time. plus as we all know, the pre swamp bits are the most fun

The hard part would be that some people want mods and some don’t, and some people wanna kill bosses vs some who don’t wanna deal with raids. Outside of that I super agree. Even if you don’t all build together there’s a fun sorta parallel play aspect to knowing that the island you see on the horizon is someone else’s home and all that.

I've started having some weird framerate issues in Valheim. When I first start my game I'm fine at my base, I go to go mine some silver (portal directly from my base to where I'm mining), totally fine, BACK to base to unload some of the stone I've dug out and all of a sudden I'm getting single digit FPS. I then tested on an older character and the same exact thing happens, fine at first, go to mountain biome, fine, back to base, slow downs. I teleport to a few more locations and it's still low FPS. Anyone had anything like this?

I've had similar things happen in the past when they transitioned from the old terrain modification to new (to address construction dropping framerate so much), when I've had too many items loose on the ground (I made a pit of heads once), and with the planbuild mod. If it's an old world, maybe try the console command to update terrain generation and if it's new maybe go into debug mode and use the command to remove all drops. I've also had screwy things happen to frame rate and graphics on multiplayer servers when one player with a bad connection is staying at base and others are moving in and out.

It's a new world, but I was making coal so I'll clean those up and see if it fixes it. Edit: Loaded the game back up and couldn't repeat the issue, before or after scooping up all the coal. Little bit annoying, as I don't feel like it's actually fixed permanently. Edit: It happened again without the coal. Hard to say what specifically is triggering it as I went through portals a bunch of times before it happened, then it was happening only at my base, not in the mountains where I was mining. Logging out and back in doesn't fix it, but restarting the game does. pik_d fucked around with this message at 06:13 on Apr 25, 2022 |

Spent ~2 hours taming a wolf with all that goes into that "experience". Oh, that's cool, they'll follow you! Proceed to run around the meadow area and watch as it kills animals for a few minutes. Kind of cool. Turn around and it's gone. Disappeared. No idea where it is. Logged out and came back in and it's still gone. Is this "working as intended" and I did something wrong to cause him to poof? One of the most unsatisfactory and frustrating experiences I've had in game in quite awhile.

Here's what's gonna happen. You're gonna forget about that wolf, it's gone, poof like you said. Eventually someday you'll be wandering around and some fuckass fuling is gonna attack you out of nowhere and BOOM that wolf pops out and attacks the fuling. It dies of course because it's just a wolf, but it distracts the fuling just long enough for you to equip the right weapon and eat a lox meat pie so you can take it down. You'll cry, and quote this post, and thank your lost wolf. Next time tame two wolves so you can make more wolves so you can still have the others back at base when you take some out hunting.

Have an odd thinger happened thought I'd ask you guys. I've been playing off and on since the old days, and this has never happened to me before. Single player game, no mods/cheats etc. I was kiting a troll to finish building out troll leather and I had a sudden slowdown (possibly world save, things were kind of hectic?) and the troll pasted me with a club. I'd drawn him into the meadows pretty close to my base so I thought ugh, but fine. Where it gets weird is that I was so close I figured I'd run and gun over there except.... there's no death marker Day XX on the map. I retraced my steps from the skeleton crypt I'd been raiding all the way to my base and I can't find the troll, the tombstone, or even stranger, no trace the fight happened. As you guys probably know if you're fighting a club troll, there's usually a trail of wood/stone resources that's pretty easy to pick up, but there was no trace of it even though I'm 100% sure I crossed that trail. I also killed 4 gray dwarves during the fight and no trace of their goodies. I've been over the ground again and again since it's only about a 2 min run from base and I can find no trace of it. I've read up on tombstones disappearing, but it seems like an exclusively multiplayer thing, or potential bad interaction with mods, neither of which are possible in my particular case. Is it just gone?

I've had this really weird issue where for some reason my left/right triggers are swapped. This only happens with Valheim, I haven't messed with any settings, and I'm not sure what's causing it. It has resulted in me getting pasted by a troll more than a couple of times because I hit LT to block

Lately I've been trying to stay on the server at least until i see the next "world save" before i log off after making changes, and i think that's been helping. Did you log off or lose con right after?

Thx for the reply, I never actually lost connection that I could see, as said the troll swung a club and my corpse just bounced in very slow frame rate. I ended up at base naked as per per normal, with no performance problems. I ran back to the general area and pulled up map to see where the grave marker was, but there was no marker. I spent about 30 minutes carefully going over the ground of the fight but didn't find anything, not grey dwarf remains, not smashed trees/rocks, not the troll, and obviously not my tombstone. As said the "server" in this case was my own computer since I was just doing single player. My guess is now it's a wash, but was hoping there was a console command like LastDeath x,y but I'm pretty convinced even if I had the exact coordinates there wouldn't be a gravestone there, and as far as I can tell such a console command doesn't work. Edit-after all that I went back to my base and quit while sitting on my bed and it's saved up until that point, e.g. naked and still with the no skill loss status.

I lost a tombstone for the first time the other day, had always retrieved my corpses before that and I was wearing like...all the good stuff I had, feeling like I'm immune to actual gear loss, still only in the Iron Age though. What happened was I died to some eels and came back and got my corpse, but then about 30 seconds after I picked up my stuff my game crashed (unusual for me) and then when I came back I was rollbacked back to spawn again naked, and had no tombstone, I combed over the place I crashed and the original death site and found nothing. Having to make a kind of fresh start with my inventory, I got the motivation to add the Epic Loot and Valheim Legends mods, so I now have new abilities as a "Duellist" class, and the new Iron Sword I lost is now replaced with this from the Epic Loot mod, via doing bounties on named mobs from the upgraded trader in Valheim Legends:

With the loot mods like that, do the mods do anything to increase the challenge or are you just walking around overpowered all the time?

Hey cool, I just lost my character and inventory on death too. I got killed by wolves and exited out of the game via the menu before I respawned. The world was as expected but no marker and no body. I've quit before respawn before and was using the menus and options available in the game (I didn't alt-f4), but I guess I quit at the exact wrong moment and messed up the save. So don't do that.

Oh yeah very strange update on my own lost grave situation. I putzed around a bit shortly after but couldn't really build up enthusiasm to rebuild my goods so I saved in bed at base and didn't touch it for a week or so. And then I came back, and the grave marker, all the battle debris, and the troll I'd been fighting all showed up in the map exactly where I had been looking somehow?? It was weird.

Holy poo poo, growths are so brutal. The slow down effect compounded with the knockback and poison. You can just get chainbumped/slowed to death so easily. Edit: The answer was fire arrows and lead them to a lox pik_d fucked around with this message at 20:05 on May 16, 2022 |

Yeah but one mob is somehow almost completely even with a single lox. Twice now since that post I've brought one to the other, and the lox was one fire arrow away from death by the time all the growths were dead.

If no lox or fuling camps are nearby then the only safe way to take them down is shoot and scoot. It always feels lame but corpse runs are even less fun. Deathsquitos are worse overall I'd say. Growths have never spawned behind me and killed me while I was checking inventory.

I don't know if its because the Plains is the current "end" or something else but to me every Plains enemy feels overly powerful even if you've got completely upgraded Plains-level gear. Every other biome you eventually reach a point where it feels like you've "conquered" the region and can handle enemies, whether that's because you've learned their attacks and how to deal with them or because you've upgraded your gear enough that you can just power through whatever they throw at you. But fulings, shamans, berserkers, growths, and lox (if you want to attack them) will wreck you in just a few hits no matter what you are wearing, wielding, or eating. That's not necessarily a bad thing by itself but the effort that's needed to upgrade Plains gear versus what it gives you in return has to date not felt in the player's favor enough.

I have a lot of fun kiting growths into fuling bases and vice-versa. I think I just enjoy the interaction, which is much more lucrative in the aftermath than greydwarves vs skeletons or everything vs golems. Also, character skill level does seem to make a massive difference in survivability. I've been using the same character for my past three worlds and I'm noticing fulings are much less of an issue now than on my first world. Parry-stab-stab tends to be enough up to one-star enemies. Meleeing lox is still suicide, though. Question: was something about the world generator changed in the last update when the ice caves were added? My worlds seem to be composed of much larger continents with more shoreline features (small islands right off the coast and even archipelago-type chains). It's also easier to find places where meadows, black forest, and swamp biomes are reasonably close together so your initial base can be usable for longer. No complaints at all, I just don't recall it being the case before.

I don't believe anything changed there, you've only had 3 worlds so that's a fairly small sample size all things considered. Worlds are generated from a much larger set map, then things are adjusted so that there's definitely a meadows biome in the center of the map. This is the larger seed map if you're interested. You'll be able to find "your" islands here, except possibly the starting island since that one had to be modified to suit your center of map
