Valheim Update 0.216.7 released and here are its patch notes


Iron Gate released yesterday a new small patch for its exploration and survival game, Valheim. According to the changelog, Patch 0.216.7 fixes a world load issue between versions, and creates a backup when starting a world in a new version.

It’s also worth noting that on May 25th, Iron Galaxy released another update that fixed a memory leak. It also addressed some animation and attack issues that could occur when the framerate was low.

Lastly, on May 16th, Iron Gate released a major update that featured a number of performance improvements. For instance, Update 0.216.5 packed performance, memory and networking improvements for both small and large worlds.

As always, Steam will download the latest update the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find the complete changelogs of the three aforementioned updates.
