Game crashes and computer restarts

[Solid Rock]

Keeps happening at random intervalls. Sometimes I can play for hours and sometimes it happens seconds after starting the game. Each time it also slightly resets my character. Had just built a bronze weapon and upgraded my bronze tools and armor. It reset and my weapon was still there but the upgrades where gone as well as the bronze used for it. Kinda puts a damper on a game basically meant to grind.

Known issue.

Well I guess that is good to hear. It keeps happening irregularly fairly frequently. I can't play the game out of fear of picking up a stack of rare material (like Bronze or Iron) and just crashing and it dissapearing. My friends can't trust me to build, gather or adventure with them :(

if game crash it revert to the last save that typical is like 5 minutes ago.
If it crash and you are sailing you are put on land with all your gear and your ship is theo ne time it happen to me also near land. ( at least it does not dissapear so you can build a simple raft and go get it ) ;-)
in general when game crash you start where you where and dosent loose anything or game uses the last quicksave that was 5 min ago.

els regardings crashes.. if you own a ryzen cpu then be awarethat about 16% of all 5900x cpus produced in 2020 are defective ( yes its shocking ) and about 4% of all other cpus.
Just saying if you computer crash in other games as well it could be the cpu.
Personaly i make my 5900x cpu wich i think is defective stable by going into bios advanced mode and then i found cpu Vcore Auto and change auto to 1,375volt after that i never had any crash.

Also be aware that if you have an amd radeon card then go into the software and factory reset it and you will be asked what profile you like to use.. you can choose inbetween gaming, esport, economic or standard.
Select standard.
Problem is there was/maybe still is a bug if you select gaming where things such as boost and othe features make game engines crash in many games.
Just saying you can try not sure it gona help .

I struggled for a while with my computer restarting after 5-20 minutes. Only in Valheim. I did every tweak and suggestion I could find in the forums or by google search, nothing worked. I did not want to reflash the bios (one suggestion I saw a few times) because everyone on my motherboards forum agreed, the next bios upgrade was horrible.

I finally removed my bios battery on the computer for 20 seconds to reset to factory defaults (the bios oddly did not seem to have this option, even though in the past I have always seen this setting on my computers over the years.) Presto, the computer restarts in Valheim STOPPED!. I have had this computer for years, it is probable at some point I changed some minor setting but I could not find anything overclocked and nothing else was causing these restarts except Valheim.

So if you have tried everything else, maybe try that too...

I have probably played 20-30 hours crash free since then, when before I could never get past 10-20 minutes.

For me, it's super random. Yesterday played about 2 to 3 hours without crashing.
Today, almost every 5~10 mins it crashes. My pc freeze and have to reboot.

It's unplayable.

Everytime o lost everything i did, super annoying.

This just started happening to me too

i5-9900k
Msi 3070 ventus
16gbs ram
On a M.2

I too started to have this happen regularly. Save is more like 20mins for me and losing stuff does put a damper on this otherwise enjoyable adventure. I know it is still EA, but I do hope that something is ID'd and a fix to be made. Sys specs:
Intel i7-8700 @3.2GHz no OC
Nvidia GTX1070 8G ram
16G Computer Ram

random crashes here too, sometimes it works for hours, sometimes it crash instantly when the game is loaded. The sound freeze and i get a Windows Bluescreen: "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"

Win10 64bit
Intel i9-9900k 3.6Ghz 8 core (no overclocking)
NVidia RTX 2070 - latest drivers
32GB RAM

only in valheim!
