Valheim’s dedicated servers should have lower latency nowAnd wolves will procreate less.
And wolves will procreate less.
Valheim’s wolves will procreate less now, which is good news if the viking survival sim’s prowling population has torn you to pieces one too many times. This change comes via update 0.147.3, which perhaps more interestingly brings “huge changes to dedicated servers”.Those changes in brief? Most players should have lower latency now when playing on dedicated servers. Less brief: this is because the game now uses direct connections instead of Steam Datagram Relay (SDR). SDR isbilledas a way to carry game traffic through Valve’s network, making it faster and more secure, though it seems that hasn’t been the case for Valheim players. The game’spatch notesdo note there’s a Steam client beta already available that may fix some of the problems with SDR.Horse Code | Mystery Steam Reviews (Horses in Video Games)Watch on YouTubeAll the other changes in this build are minor fixes, although there’s no mention of my favourite recent reported Valheim bug:I’ve learned today that players in Valheim are noticing their boats missing or flying.The truth - birds (like seagulls) are landing on boats and a bug accidently places the boat under bird control - which means the bird lands on a boat and flies away with it, stealing it.— 🧹 Gliitch 🧹 (@GliitchWiitch)March 1, 2021To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settingsI’ve not seen this in action, but oh how I hope it’s true, and how I hope there will be video of those buff seagulls soon.Until then, if you want to take advantage of their lower latency, Ollie has a guide to how to set up your ownValheim dedicated server.
