Black screen after joining private server

[Kublai Chungus]

Anybody had connection problems after the update (black screen after joining server)?

[SteemBoadSprings]

yep... same here

[JinxieRidesShotgun]

im also having the black screen issue

[Nuka]

same

[TORN Foreskin]

Likewise, I'm going to try running on previous stable build

EDIT: Running on previous stable version fixed it, and we have 97 mods running in our game. Hope this helps

[Nuka]

its only on modded version

[Kolhara]

Same here. No connection at all with mods. Without mods, sometimes it'll connect but usually just the same thing. Either it'll black screen or freeze entirely

[GrimReefer]

think it is a v plus issue as my server is down also and we are modded so i guess we wait for updates

Same issue, cant connect to other servers, Works only in Vanilla. I use Thunder store mod manager. Have re-installed all my mods, The game, nothing seems to work. Guess have to wait.

How can you run it on previous version?

[Nefrarya]

They added a new branch called "default_old" that should (theoretically) always run the last stable version from before a new patch.

Right click on the Valheim entry in your Steam Library, click Properties.
In the left column, choose Betas. Select "default_old" from the dropdown menu.
Password should not be needed.

Your Steam client will then go back to the old version. If you want to go back, you can do the same thing again and choose "Non" in the beta dropdown menu.

Saves should not be affected, but I think the game will need to re-download for every branch switch.

Hope this helps!

Worked Thanks Nefrarya!

I had the same problem with my server (home PC setup as server). I found two problems that caused it. Jotunn JVL was the first one (it is on both server and client for me). They had an update today that fixed that issue. The other mod that caused me to fail to connect to the server properly (client side only) was Valkea. Had to uninstall it for now. Will have to wait for an update to that one unfortunately.

Do you have a solution for r2modman ,i case if we already updated some of the mods and we want to use the older version of them?

[Nefrarya]

Sorry, can't help there. I haven't modded myself, but maybe someone else knows a way.
