Steam Family Sharing World Desync
I created a world and I built my first home, then Logged off, quit game. Didn't alt F4. Then my son logged on to his steam using family share, created toon, loaded my world played a bit, logged out, quit game. I come back to play, build another structure. logged off, quit game. My son switches to his account plays with some one else in another world. Then, I come back to play on my account and second structure is reset, ground, the whole save is reset back to when my son logged out of my world on his account. Now when my son is just booting up the game, it resets my world save using family share. Also this is all on the same computer. My only solution at this time is to back up my world save after I'm done playing and replace it. Note: it also works visa versa for him as well. We have done this 4 times. Very easy to recreate. Note2: If i replace files and then load game it still resets, If I load files while in menu, it stays, at least so far. will comment if not.

DanielThe same thing happened to me, and I even don't know how to make a backup

NoFocusSame here. My wife made a server, and I used family sharing to play on same computer. I played all night and logged off. When I woke up she was on her account and all changes I had made to the world we're reset. My character was still geared, and it still showed my spawn point on the map, but terrain changes and buildings we're gone. When I logged back into my steam to check, my wife's recent changes were then deleted.

Kieran MacIt seems to reset the worlds to a specific point (not sure how that point is determined) every time you log into a different account on the same PC. It is an unusual bug and nothing I do seems to prevent it. It only affects the world saves however. For anyone else with this issue a temporary fix would be to make a copy of the world save ( located at: C:\Users\"YourUser"\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds ) somewhere else on your pc and copy it into the folder every time you change users.

NikSame thing here. Very easy to reproduce. Switching Steam accounts always brings our worlds back to a February 19th version. Disabled cloud sync on one of the account and it doesn't prevent the problem.
