The latest update for Valheim has introduced changes to enhance the quality of life. The player base of the survival title reported the existence of a game-breaking bug that collapsed the world.

As a result, the players would find their structures and everything inside the served wiped clean, which would force them to start over.

It is being reported that the issue came into being due to the players exiting the title by pressing Alt+F4. Subsequently, this would cause the entire server to crash and reset the world seed.

World bosses like Bonemass, Moder, Yagluth have received significant buff that will certainly slow down progression. Gamers will no longer encounter the world-breaker bug inside the title, due to the updated socket-backend.

Valheim now also offers Vulkan support as a launch option in steam, and this feature will definitely prevent unnatural crashes.

Players will have to keep the game update as the characters in the latest patch will no longer load in the older versions because of changes in character save data.

The patch has also removed an infamous bug with harpoons that the community abused to make the ship sail faster. Several other bugs with crafting items, ships, building destruction, and network disconnection have all been addressed.
