The Chronicle

Every official Valheim patch, one edition per version: what's new, what changed and what got fixed, with every item linked to the encyclopedia.

From Iron Gate

Hello vikings! We’ve got some hotfixes ready for you today, to facilitate your adventures in the tenth world. This includes a bunch of new sounds for the Deep North, and that you can now actually repair your endgame heavy armour. Phew!

We do also have some Steam specific fixes, which will arrive to all other platforms shortly as well. But not to worry – even though the fixes are Steam specific, crossplay between all platforms is still fully supported. The fixes include a function to let you opt into using achievements even though you have been blocked from doing so because of previous usage of devcommands. We will leave it to your own judgement whether or not to activate this function – Oden will surely know if you use it dishonourably.

Read the whole letter

May your axes stay sharp!

We apologise for the delay with the patch for Switch 2, but now all platforms should be compatible for crossplay again!

Patch 1.0.10 – All Platforms

  • The heavy armour in Deep North can now be repaired
  • Greydwarf Shamans in Deep North now deal appropriate amounts of damage and healing
  • Punching no longer removes snow
  • Landing on snow without directly walking now removes the snow
  • Various sound effects updated for several creatures and the snow in Deep North

Patch 1.0.12 – Steam Only

  • The following fixes are fully crossplay compatible and will be extended to all platforms in an upcoming hotfix, which we're pushing out as soon as possible.
  • Using the Forge of Potential no longer unlocks recipes that should not be unlocked
  • Items on armour stands and item stands no longer lose their durability & upgrade level IF the world has not yet been loaded in the 1.0 update (We are however looking into a better fix for this so do not remove high level items (fish, weapons, armour, etc) from your item stands without using backups if you have been playing 1.0!)
  • Fixed a crash that could trigger when players tried to access a zone that wasn’t loaded
  • Fixed a problem with banlist and whitelist that made them only compatible with new IDs (e.g. V_123456789) even though they should work with old IDs too (e.g. Steam_123456789)
  • There is now a popup message to make it more clear when you can receive achievements again after them being temporarily disabled
  • Achievements can be now be opted into even if you have used devcommands or mods by the new devcommand ‘yesiuseddevcommandsbutiwantmyachievementsanyway’
  • It’s now easier to fit the Cart through the Timberwood Drawbridge
  • Jotun Puffs and Magecaps no longer look pickable when they have been picked
