"A Cold Wind Blows From the Mountains" event not spawning enemies.

Voting disabled

I was excited to get a new raid event when I saw "A Cold Wind Blows From The Mountains" when I was at my base. At the beginning of the timer, I heard the shriek of a Drake but nothing indicating they were attacking my base. When I went outside there was nothing but snow.

-If the event lasts 2 minutes I'd say I spent the first ~45 seconds inside
---I was inside when the event triggered, spent a few seconds running to equip the right arrows,
---I ran outside - "you are freezing" informed me I needed frost resistance, so I ran back inside.
---took portal to my other base to get frost resistance potion because I had run out at my main base. (maybe this tripped up the spawning system? I've taken portal in the middle of an event before but the enemies were still there when I got back...)
---Came back, went outside, spent the rest of the event itching for a fight and a plentitude of freeze glands but nothing happened :(

I just had another event come and go with hardly an enemy to be seen (A Foul Smell From the Swamp). All I got was one blob.

So..... my base has concentric defenses - a stake wall surrounded by a moat. Since I didn't want to have enemies spawn between the wall and the moat I built a workbench perimeter up against the outside side of the stake wall. So the entirety of my base up to the moat is protected by the "enemies won't spawn near player-built structures" effect. Is there a limit to how far out enemies will spawn during a raid? I figured they'd spawn beyond my moat and swarm the edges of the moat and try to knock down my gates, as they did at my old base, also in the Meadows. Does this limit also apply to flying mobs? Maybe my base's defenses are too good = boring?

Hi Bobby,

There are diffrent spawn rules for diffrent event types.
It seems very strange the issues you are having.

Sometimes issues like this is because a file is corrupt.
Go to steam library and right click valheim. Then Properties --> Local files --> Click "Verify integrity of game files.."
