Moving Multiplayer Server world to Solo World?

[Ж | ※ KnightS※litaire]

I wondering how you would go about transferring a world and all that's built on it from our group server to my own world to roam solo?

I have both the .db & .fwl files with .old as well but keep getting "Error Loading world file. Check backups"
I've tried all 4 files, then, just the two newer ones. After that, I tried zipping all 4 and moving them to worlds folder. Then tried turning off cloud through steam. then tried moving to local, then moved it to cloud.

What do the logs say?

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\Player.log
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\Player-prev.log
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp\IronGate\Valheim\Crashes\Crash_*\*.log  (<- only if VH crashed)
...\Steam\SteamApps\common\Valheim\BepInEx\LogOutput.log (<- if applicable)

I regularly move a map between server/local and never had any problems.
But I'm not using the steam cloud.

Tried the cloud with a character and had no problems with that in it of itself (just a tiny lag when that character got saved) - but I was unable to restore own backups (FreeFileSync+RealTimeSync) while VH was still running.
-> Had to quit VH before restoring such an external backup. Otherwise re-joining a map/server caused the character to reset completely (= created a new blank character).

1) SP and 2023 versions and beyond
C:\Users\***\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds_local

2) SP and Steam cloud saves here
https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorage

3) now SP and MP ALSO apparently to here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\yourSteamIDnumber\892970\remote

4) old SP pre 2023 H&H were at
C:\Users\***\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds

Thank you for help! here is what he player-prev.log shows.

The world file is the latest version ? like when they updated to H&H it remapped the individual world files.. as it did with Mist update..

on a seperate thought is it worth uploading your world file into https://valheim-map.world/ seeing if it spits a corruption error or recognises it as outdated?

Thanks for response!
I checked map through .fwl / .db files and site and shows it isn't corrupted. As far as I know we are on the most current build as we started the server on Feb 7th.

What did you do when those logs were generated? Joining a/the server or loading the map locally?

The failed to place <stuff> is normal AFAIK. I get such "erorrs" too when I open a year old backup of my map.

Never seen that World db couldn't load correctly, ... before and it's not much help. The order in which those errors occur makes no sense:
1. Couldn't load world correctly
2. but try to save anyway
3. only to fail again
4. and then "respawn"?!


So I agree ...

... sounds like some kind of wired version mismatch.

I'd guess you're trying to open a newer map with an older version but that doesn't really make sense either.

-> I suggest you figure what exact version of VH are running on the server and on your end.

Can other members of your group load the map locally?
Sure the copies you got are all right and weren't made while the server was running? Maybe an automatic map save interfered.

Trying to get hold of server "owner" stay tuned
