Patch 0.221.12

Valheim · published 19 Feb 2026, 08:09 UTC · build 21981559

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

We've got a couple of fixes for you today!

Please also note that playing using Vulkan might currently cause Valheim to be unstable and/or crash. If you want to continue using Vulkan, you can disable the FPS limiters in e.g. the Nvidia Control Panel for a hopefully smoother experience. Rest assured that we're working on a solution for the Vulkan issue, however, and that it should hopefully be back to normal soon!

Patch Notes:

* Added release-to-select in the radial menu: If you continue holding down the radial menu button/key after the radial menu appears, you can select an emote by releasing the button/key.
* Reverted crouching being unintentionally changed to a press-and-hold action on gamepad. Now it’s back to being a single press again.
* Fixed annoying resolution setting behavior in windowed mode when changing settings.
* Fixed crash on startup on Windows that triggers under specific conditions when using Vulkan.
* Fixed audio stutters in Ashlands.
* Fixed sometimes not being able to apply graphics settings properly the first time after updating from an earlier version.
* Fixed some minor UX issues in the graphics settings menu.

For modders:
* Fixed a null reference exception that started happening in 0.221.10 when mods directly or indirectly accessed preferences at startup (for example via the localization system).
