What officially changed
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).
