Hello razgrim.

We know about this and are working on a fix for it.
Either rollback to default_old version in the drop down menu under "betas" in steam. or wait for patch comming.

Appreciate you Smiffe! We also found out in steam forums that we can just delete the faulting libparty.so and run without cross play flag.

Still a problem on Valheim 0.212.9 server. Deleting libparty.so fixes it.

This STILL crashes server for a lot of ppl. with no recent Distro e.g. see https://steamcommunity.com/app/892970/discussions/1/3365901765271862433/
Better workaround atm is removing /valheim_server_Data/Plugins/libparty.so before start but needs to be redone after each steamcmd app verify

@Devs
A -nocrossplay launch option would be great so we're given a choice to not even try to load the crashing library from MS (as this doesnt seem to get fixed pretty soon)

Cheers

@rothman

if you just remove -crossplay line, it will use steamAPI instead by defult.
