Valheim makes my pc bloc or restart, what the actual ♥♥♥♥.

[cadutoaterra]

Hello to everyone, i never write a post before, but i was so upset about that.
I state that my pc is: i7 10700F , 16gb RAm, Gtx 1604 4gb.

So the problem looks like that Valheim in specific servers where there are a lot of builds. make the entire pc crash or block, cause of something, i ahve done some fixies on internet but looks like nothing rlly works fine. Yesterday while i was normally playing Vlaheim with someone in my world, the entire pc blocked itself, or it start to lagging so the pc restart with no crashes error in Temp folder.

Spontaneous reboots are usually sign of unstable system (overheating, power fluctuation, insufficient PSU, unstable OC, and so on).

Same problem here.
I have almost 600h played in Valheim, problem appeared lately. First it was just game crash with some error window from Valheim engine, continuosly between 3-10 mins. I started to look for some resolve, Updated win, drivers (including wipe), eliminated specific apps, also tried turning off XMP, none worked. At the end i uninstalled game and ereased char and world data from Valheim system folder. I have installed game once again, created new character, entered my dedic, played for about 10 min, then computer crashed and reset values in BIOS.

Spec: MSI Z390, I7 9700K, MSI RTX 3080, 32GB Corsair Vengenance 3200Mhz. PSU: Fractal Design 860W 80+ Platinum, GPU and CPU Watercolled (Custom loop with 2x360 Corsair rads).

Sorry, but in my case You miss. CP 2077 in RT, 1440p, 140+ FPS, stable and You trying to tell me that some mobile like engine game will not work because of overheating or power inssuficient?

I'm not "trying" anything, much less towards You given you are not the OP

Assuming your problem is the same (i.e. spontaneous reboot), the potential root causes for that are those listed above, yes.

Just like people blame Amazon's New World for what is essentially EVGA's board design fail, the game does not matter really, as it is but a load to the hardware (low-level APIs will crash/BSOD drivers more often, yes).
Different games stress hardware in different ways, and that's all there is to it.

But it is true that Unity3D does support iOS/Android, just like Unreal Engine 4 does.

Anyhoo xD
I know that my build have some weak spots. But my GPU IS OP: 12873 Port Royal, world record is 13489. Boosts 2190, stable.



I found a solution in my case, i hope it will be heplful for others :)

Nice for you !!
So your OC was unstable, right ?

Only for Valheim. And only from some time, told You: Played nerly 600h on this machine with this setup and suddenly (i suspect win10 update) it began to crash.

PC is a very complex thing. Saying "only for Valheim" is technically incorrect. You just haven't found an another application that would also cause that issue. Different applications have different "patterns of usage" of your hardware.

Just because there are few applications that won't crash in a long run, doesn't mean the entire OC cannot be unstable.
There are "stable OCs" that would allow you to stay indefinitely at the Windows desktop, and crash once you try running any app.

Real stable OC means you'll have no issues, at any application. If that OC causes crashes even in a single application - it is 100% unstable OC that you need to downclock.

And to make my point crystal clear:
This crash is NOT app-related. It is hardware-related.
There are possibilities for "Windows update"-induced BSoDs, but if ticking off "Turbo mode" fixes it, then it is 100% a hardware related issue.

AMD FX-8320 locked at 4GHz, GTX 1660 (Evga black, single fan, which I bought intentionally due to the fans on my old video card sounding annoying), 60Hz monitor. 60 FPS cap and vsync on in Nvidia settings.

Running the game with the Vulcan API (selected via pop-up in Steam) my graphics card sits at 46C.

Running the game without Vulcan, 78C!

It's a Unity problem.

Guys, i found a solution, maybe unabling the intel turbo boost? Dunno, btw i hope it's not for the hot temperature outside, who knows, its abit strange the problem presents only by 2 weeks after i bought tihis 1.2k$ pc.

You mean, you alttab a lot and look at windows task manager and noticed the fact Vulkan in Valheim does not support borderless mode while it is the default for DX11 renderer ?

What Unity problem are people talking about ?

Welp who knows. Perhaps the supposedly 65W i7-10700 which exceeds the TDP 2x when boosting has something to do with it.

11th and 10th gen i7s are real joke in terms of official power spec.
They are all 125W parts when boosting, that 65W figure is why the base clock is so low.
If intel would just be honest and publish proper spec, board partners would not be making VRM that won't handle the load.

But it would look laughable when compared to Zen3.

EDIT: My bad, the 10700 PL2 (highest boost but shortest timespan) is 224W, that is just sad.

Quite a lot of Unity development documentation and discussion out there regarding the issue.

Really simple to observe by simply enabling/disabling the Vulcan API. No other change but the rendering path used by Unity.

In my case it allows my GPU to run 30 degrees Celsius cooler while rendering the exact same scene for several minutes. Tested with Open Hardware Monitor in Windows 10.

Given that it's literally as easy as clicking a different radial option when launching the game, I figured it was a worthwhile suggestion to make for this user.

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but can 100% confirm its happening to me as well. I have an RTX 3080ti and valheim crashes my pc randomly . Sometimes its 5min sometimes its 3hours. And it's 100% valheim. My pc is on all the time, the time it idles, i mine. The time I dont mine, I game on ultra settings on anything with my i9 9900. Nothing pushes the PC passed 80degrees on extreme south africa weather. Only when I play valheim do I suffer a pc reboot.

My hunch is the 3080s , something in the game's coding is struggling with these cards. Its not the hardware. And its only recently in the last couple of months that it started happening. I have 100s of hours on this rig in valheim, never had the problem in the beginning.

Spontaneous reboots are always caused by hardware, driver or OS.
RTX30xx series is power hungry with lean limits which makes it prone to large power spikes.
Better to fix your setup before it gets worse.

13700k, 3080ti. This most certainly isn't a power issue. Temps aren't near thermal throttled, and I've got a 1000 watt PSU. I specifically chose this psu because of how well it handles transient loads. Valheim is literally the *only* game this PC crashes on.
