The 0.148.6 Patch to Valheim Brings Many Gameplay Fixes and Tweaks

Valheim is currently the top selling game on Steam, and has been for six weeks since its initial release! The Viking survival game has been topping the charts consistently, and it’s still in its Early Access phase. Given that, there are bound to be bugs and glitches that need to be ironed out. And Iron Gate studios has been doing just that, releasing patch version 0.148.6 which adds several gameplay fixes and tweaks.

Valheim has been getting a fairly steady stream of patches, making the gameplay better, and sometimes a little worse, with each update. This current update brings,

• Campfire, Bonfire & Hearth take damage when dealing damage
• Reinforced chest inventory space increased to 6×4
• All boss drops can now float on water
• Sunken crypt entrance tweaked (to stop tombstones from getting stuck)
• Fixed rotation of Wood tower shield on item stands
• Deathsquito & Drake trophy drop rate increased
• 1 & 2 Star creature HP fix
• Night-spawning wolves should be easier to tame now (should stop trying to run away & despawn after starting to tame)
• Harpoon does not work on bosses anymore
• In-game console disabled by default (add launch argument “-console” to enable)
• The console command for enabling developer/debug commands has been changed to “devcommands” from “imacheater” and a warning message has been added.
• Improved enemy projectile reaction system
• Battle axe tweaks (hits multiple enemies easier)
• Player knockback force is affected by equipment speed modifiers (IE heavy gear will reduce the knockback from enemies)
• Blackforest stone tower tweaks
• Ward system fixes (You can no longer place a new ward where an enemy ward overlaps)
• Comfort calculation fixed
• “Failed to connect” error message fixed
• Serpent trophy stack fix
• Missing Moder spawn location in some worlds fixed (NOTE: For existing worlds “genloc” command needs to be run manually in a local game with dev commands enabled to generate new locations, this is only needed if your specific world has this issue, this is not very common)
• Megingjord item-collider fix
• Added a slight use-delay on Hammer, Hoe & Cultivator
• Hammer remove auto-repeat added
• Better network bandwidth handling (should work better on low bandwidth connections & also use higher data rate if possible)
• Dolmen location fixes (Stop top stone from falling for no reason)
• Fixed removing item from item-stand not always syncing item stats
• Server list refresh button can be pressed before the entire list has been downloaded
• Better bad connection detection
• Fixed issue causing server to send more data the longer a client was connected
• Localization updates

Valheim is currently available through Steam and has a massive playerbase which is constantly growing. So, if you’ve always wanted to jump into the leather boots of a Viking and brave the harsh, Norse wilderness, this title may be the perfect addition to your Steam library.
