The latest update also brings network optimizations for a smooth cross-play experience
Developer Iron Gate Studios has released the latest version of the Viking-themed survival game, Valheim, bringing cross-support and network improvements ahead of the release of PC Game Pass on September 29.
Despite the fact that Valheim has been in Early Access since its initial release in February 2021, it often receives new updates to add playable content and events in order to expand its open world inspired by Norse mythology. Before it makes its way to Xbox Game Pass tomorrow, the developer team released a new update on September 27, with official patch notes that include minor changes to the GUI and network systems to improve the player experience.
by game Steam . pageUpdate 0.211.7 includes cross-play support, allowing players to embark on a journey of survival with their friends no matter where they are playing from. The developer team has provided some important details regarding cross-play compatibility, stating that if players want to play together on different platforms, there will be an invitation code that players will use to join the game.
If you’re eager to learn more about Valheim’s latest update before it hits PC Game Pass tomorrow, check out the official patch notes below.
Valheim update 0.211.7 patch notes
- Simple network optimization for in-game hosting (requires less host when other players are in the game at the same time)
- The “Join the game” tab has been updated. Players can now add favorite servers, see if a server is up and running, and whether they support cross-play.
- Players can now use the “-crossplay” parameter while running dedicated servers to support crossplay. When this parameter is used, the backend will run Playfab instead of Steamworks. (A ‘Join Code’ will appear when you join a dedicated server that supports crossplay. Players can use this token to join the server. This join token is regenerated when the server is restarted.)
- Added a new branch, “default_old”, where you can play on the previous Steam version of the game in case your server has not yet been updated (Steam may need to restart the branch for it to appear)
- A question mark indicates that the server’s status is uncertain, and a red X indicates that the server is down. If there is a “random” icon next to the server status, it means that the server supports cross-play.
Valheim is currently available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X | S and PC via Steam, with the survival game joining the Xbox Game Pass release for PC on September 29.
