Valheim 0.148.6 Patch Notes

Fixes

Fixed rotation of Wood tower shield on item stands.

1 & 2 Star creature HP fix.

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.

Dolmen location fixes (Stop top stone from falling for no reason).

Fixed removing item from item-stand not always syncing item stats.

Fixed issue causing server to send more data the longer a client was connected.

Gameplay Changes and Tweaks

Campfire, Bonfire & hearth take damage when dealing damage.

Reinforced chest inventory space increased to 6x4.

All boss drops can now float on water.

Deathsquito & Drake trophy drop rate increased.

Sunken crypt entrance tweaked (to stop tombstones from getting stuck).

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.

Ingame 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.

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).

Better bad connection detection.
