Valheim

Valheim

New update killed the internet connection
After the recent update the game is killing my internet connection after a few minutes into a server. I cannot browse internet, discord gets disconnected even the game itself fails to ping the server and gets out of sync. Closing the game returns everything to normal. How do I fix this?

Edit 1: So things I noticed. Moment I connect to the server, the few seconds where the game runs fine without issue, the data send and recv stays somehwere around 25kbs. With varying sent(not data sent) values mostly between 5-10. Though recv was at 0(this ok? dont think so). Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/0kuLHuS.png

So after about a 2 minutes in the data sent kept increasing and got stuck at around 120kbs, which is suprising because every speed test I did only showed about 64kbs as my max upload speed. (♥♥♥♥♥♥ connection ik) while the sent and recv is 0. cli queue keep increasing every second. At this point i can recieve no reply from server when I type "ping" in the command.

Experiencing the same issue since 0.146.8 update. I have a 10mbps down and 1mbps up
(the famous phone line) and I used to be able to play the game with an upload rate of no more than 200kbps. Since the update, it will range around 200kbps to 600kpbs upload and at some point, it will kick in at more than 1mbps upload with almost no download rate. I believe the patch introduced some kind of network issue / leak. This wont be noticeable with a high speed connection.
Please fix !

I have 100 mbps/20mbps.
I have the same issue, my network adapter resets in a few minutes intervals, IF I have Valheim running and DIscord in audio chat. Closing Discord solves my issue.

Streaming to Twitch using Streamlabs OBS works fine at 720p@30FPS while playing Valheim for hours on end.

It's not a new issue, been happening for 3 weeks now, or when I bought this game and decided to use it. I just decided to live with it. Firewall is set to autodecide on opening ports.

We are two people in one household playing with a 300/300 on a friends sever, and I loose every connection to the internet the moment I open the game.
That means I cant open a new page on my web-browser, I cannot open any app that requires internet, and when I am on discord I loose the connection on and off. My phone also looses all connection to the internet when i am in game.
The internet issues stops as soon as i am out of the game.

Yesterday we played the game just fine, no major problems.
But we have had problems for the two weeks we have been playing, we had to just turn off and on the connection on every device before opening the game, and thats not something we have had to do before.

But it is a major problem, and I hope the awesome team behind this game, gets some help so they don't burn out on all the bug fixing! :winter2019happyyul:

The problem is that atm. everyone who has a upload speed below 1.5mbit wont be able to play anymore (well solo should work fine...)

The cap for data sent was usually 64kb/s, but also caused some issue when there was alot going on in the server (several people on one spot, tons of buildings etc.) so they raised that cap (or even removed it) (and some stuff about forcing a proxy for security reasons)

Pretty sure the devs are aware of this by now, the discord today was full of this topic, lets just hope they dont ignore those who have a slow upload speed.

Brutal rural internet here. 4mbs down & 0.5mbs upload

Played coop with 2 people, locally hosting on my machine fine until update yesterday.

Now 2nd players ping immediately jumps to 900 and they are unable to see anything in the world except the ground.

Seen a few people in discussions with same issue.

good that the devs aware of it.

great game otherwise. pls fix.
