How to create a Local Server in Valheim
So, you have agreed with a company of like-minded people to play Valheim together. How to create a server? Let's start with the simplest option, which is ideal for small groups of gamers (2-3 person).
local server easy enough to create, but all participants must play simultaneously, because without the presence Host Walheim will not work.
You need to start by choosing a host. It must be the person with the most powerful iron и stable internet connection. Freezes, lags and other iron instabilities will affect all participants if the host experiences problems. Then the player running the server must follow the instructions below:
- Start a new game;
- Create a character;
- Choose an item "new world" and enter its name;
- click "ready";
- Check mark "start server";
- Specify a password in order to prevent the appearance of uninvited guests.
All participants need add the host as a friend on the steam platform, this will make it as easy as possible to find a server among thousands of connection points. The host must first log into the server so that others can join it.
Participants after choosing a character must click on the option "join the game" and put a label "Friends". The desired server will immediately appear on the screen and you just have to click on it.
How to create a dedicated server in Valheim
This option is ideal for large companies wishing to start their own adventure in Valheim. Dedicated server allows you to store data on the cloud, so you can introduce characters created for single player with all the items and skills into the world.
Participants get access to Walheim's research without host presence online, which is a significant advantage. However, a dedicated server can be very difficult to create, especially for beginners.
We need a tool Valheim Dedicated Server, which can be easily found and installed in the steam library by going to the tab "tools". For now, let's leave the program alone and create local server as described in the previous section. Now you need to do the following actions:
- in the folder with the Valheim game we find the directory worlds;
- copy it and paste it into a folder Valheim dedicated server;
- now we need to find and open the file in notepad start_headless_server;
- instead my server write your name instead Dedicated insert seed (seed), instead secret - password;
- after saving the file, you need to make a backup copy in case of a reset;
- on the host computer, open ports 2456 to 2458 in the firewall;
- double click on file start_headless_server;
- a window appears that starts the server, which can take about 15 minutes;
- an inscription appears game server connected, it indicates that the server is functioning;
- the host can minimize the window, but not close it, otherwise the participants will not be able to enter the game. Thus, the presence of the server creator in Valheim is not necessary, but his computer must be working.
It happens that the server refuses to start. Most often, this is due to incorrect data entry, so you should carefully check everything.
Other players may connect to a dedicated server in Valheim via a shared list or by joining directly via an IP address. IP data is specified in the "start_headless_server" file.
