Dverger circlet blinks in crypts after update 2022-06-20

23 votes

After the update 2022-06-20, the dverger circlet blinks erratically while illuminating certain areas inside crypts (and possibly other places). Seems to happen particularly while illuminating moving water (e.g. waterfalls).
System: Linux / Steam engine

EDIT (Admin - 23.08.2023.):
The issue is related to the Unity engine update to version 2020 that had to be done.
Valheim will soon be updated to version 2021, which should provide some tools to fix this bug.

Standing still, no blinking. Moving or panning, it blinks intermittently. Didn't do this prior to today's patch/update.

Hi!

I am unable to replicate the behavior you are describing. Have you ever used any mods? If you have, please make sure that they are completely removed and try again. If you haven't used any mods, please try verifying the integrity of the game files if you haven't already, to see if it resolves the issue for you. To do this, follow these steps:

Right-click on Valheim in your Steam library and select 'Properties' -> 'Local files' -> Click 'Verify integrity of game files…'

If that doesn't work, it would be great if we could get a video showing the behavior and what in-game graphic settings you are using.

WHile in sunken crypts, the helmet tends to turn on strobe mode. No dance music sadly :(. But Yea, the light flickers alot, almost more harder to see with it on

I do not have any mods. I verified the integrity of game files as instructed. Now I just have to figure out how to include a screenshot and a 12-second video in these comments...

I don't see a way to do it. I'm running Windows 10.

Hi Lumah.
Thanks for looking into this.
I've never used any mods whatsoever.
Verifying integrity of game files: "All 118 files successfully validated".
Problem remains.
I made a short video showing the problem as well as my in-game graphics settings. Where ẁould you like me to upload it to, and is there any other information you need?

It would be great if you could zip the files and upload them to a website such as https://easyupload.io/. You could also upload your latest player.log file from when this occurs.

You can find the player.log over at:

Good to hear it. I suspect the video isn't necessary then, but since I've already made it - and as a reference to others - here it is.
It'll expire on the file server in 15 days.

Yes, this is happening to me now, since the update.

Strobing/flickering while in the crypts, when moving. Can be quite intense.

Still happening to me using Windows 10. It happens using both Vulkan and DirectX and in two different desktop systems, one with a Ryzen 5 2600 and NVIDIA GTX 1080, and the other with a Ryzen 5 5600x and Radeon RX 5700XT.

I can imagine it must not be happening to everyone because it is, and has been, BAD. I've more or less stopped using the circlet because of it, and instead just swing around in the dark and hope for the best!

Any news on this? Just started playing again after a couple years and this wasn't an issue before. Water inside crypts will flicker constantly when I'm moving/panning. Those little waterfalls will flicker when I'm standing still. Can see very distinct lines in the water of doorways between rooms. AMD gpu.
