The popular Norse mythology-inspired exploration and survival game, Valheim, has released patch notes for version 0.215.2. This update includes several fixes and improvements that primarily address ongoing Xbox issues and enhance gameplay experience, such as backup management, world save handling, and minimap marker adjustments.
The latest patch, 0.215.2, includes several fixes and improvements that address ongoing Xbox issues, with the developers noting that additional patches will be necessary before all Xbox-related problems are fully resolved. The current update is considered a step in the right direction.
Patch notes reveal that players will now be able to restore backups multiple times, as they will no longer be deleted after being restored. Additionally, world saves with missing .fwl files will be displayed in the Manage Saves menu, allowing for their deletion. Bugs involving backups and world saves in cloud storage have also been fixed, improving the overall gaming experience.
Other updates include corrected player and ship markers on the minimap, reduced lighting effects when using the “reduce flashing lights” setting for various in-game elements, and the separate display of the network compatibility version in the console and log file. Each non-PC platform will now have a platform prefix in the version text.
Console-specific improvements focus on enhancing stability and performance when saving worlds, reducing the chances of corrupted save files on the Microsoft Store and Xbox platforms. Save files that were previously corrupted due to incomplete file operations in cloud storage are now detected and prevented from being started as empty worlds. Finally, a bug related to the retrieval of timestamps for cloud saves has been fixed, ensuring that they display in local time rather than UTC.
Here’s a look at the full list of patch notes from the developers:
