Terrain different between Xbox (the console, not pc store) and Steam
Terrain appears to be different between players. Xbox version, Steam and the Gportal dedicated server all running 0.214.2
The terrain on the xbox matches where the player appears to be floating from the steam perspective, and the steam player appears to be sunk underground for the xbox player also
(attached image taken from steam perspective)
Worth mentioning this was a fresh world created just for this playthrough, and no mods are used. I also hosted the original world on my own computer and the same problem persisted, so it wasn't an issue with the file upload to the server
Seed is "aHGvq0G6Sa" and the area is directly southwest from spawn. Keep walking till you get to a steep slope leading down to a beach specifically if anyone tries to reproduce this

We have gotten a bunch of reports of this happening and we are looking into this as I am writing this. -

DavidBarr97Thanks Smiffe, after I submitted the bug report one of my friends submitted the same seed into the discord chat with more supporting images and got a reply about it being reproduced on the teams end
Good luck, and thanks for the update -

Smiffe AdminThis issue is confirmed when a Xbox player and any other platform plays together.
Atm, this can cause houses to crash if the non-xbox player leaves an area and the xbox player is alone (takes over chunk ownership)
also, rivers and beaches seems to load diffrently. -

Zibe HoltonThis error occurs for us also. I have also noticed that the problem persists whether I play on game pass pc or steam. Xbox players vs pc terrain seems shifted down for them leaving me floating on their screen and them clipping on mine. Don't even try riding in the same boat. Lol

EchoceptionConfirming that this happens for me and my group aswell, the xbox player is the server host and when the steam player tries to flatten the ground in an affected area it tends to create some really strange looking holes in the ground for the xbox player and normal looking holes for the steam player (flatten makes holes)
Beside rivers and beaches i have noticed that some hills in the black forest load differently causing the steam player to see floating rocks if a stone or ore deposit is on top of it. -

AppleseedOn a dedicated server we had this issue. When Xbox joins local pc world it was fine. Haven’t tried pc joining Xbox world yet

Lappen01Hey!
We have the same issue.
Actually we tested if its connected to the platforms like Xbox console players and PC players.
Our findings were that on the same server, two playing on Xbox console and two playing on PC via Steam, the terrain on PC shared the same and on Xbox console as well, and had the same differences between both platforms.
So Xbox had its own terrain and PC too.
With all that reported, thank you for your work- -

Tyler LacyI have 2 friends playing on PC and my self and another friend playing on Xbox. We see this issue happening consistently when we get close to open bodies of water or ravines with rivers. PC players appear to be hovering over the water. On Xbox, I can even see mobs walking on this invisible terrain to engage the pc players.

JanieI’m having the exact same issue. I've been going between my xbox save and my PC Gamepass save, and things are so messed up with terrain. While on my PC, I built my base on a flatlands, but when I try to get on my xbox and play that save, my house is on top of a river. And it's not simply on a river, its hovering over it by like 4-5 flooring blocks throughout the entire building, so it slowly starts to collapse. I spent a solid 8 hours building this house, then another 2 to fix it because I assumed it was some kind of save error at first. (I was apparently too flustered to realize there was a random river where there wasnt one prior.) But then when I tried again to access it on the xbox, being 100% confident that nothing is wrong with the save, the majority of my base was fine this time so I was able to see the complete elevation and terrain difference this time.

LordFancypusI noticed this happening on a dedicated server playing with friends on Xbox One. (I play on PC) Any time they would go and explore an area without me, the terrain they would see would be different and we would see one another floating in air or sinking into the ground. Where I would explore on my own on PC, the Xbox players could later visit and the terrain appeared to be the same between both platforms. In these regions explored by the Xbox players, the structures generated in the world would often create deep holes in the ground from the view of the Xbox players. My PC view would see these generated structures in the world as normal, but my Xbox friends would be floating in the air above the structure in my view. These issues didn't seem to be present when I hosted a local server instance in Valheim. I only saw these issues when we were all connecting to a dedicated server (running on the same PC that I was playing the game on as well).

JareksonSame issue
We have console players, steam and xbox on a dedicated server. World was created three weeks ago. Terrain is all over the place. It looks like the console players have completely different terrain levels, especially bad around rivers and mountains. It was extremely hard to find a piece of land we could build together on with no whacky terrain desync. Invasions during that time are busted as well, levitating mobs and all that. This requires a serious fix. -

LeilahDid not have this issue in our server until after the 214.300 update was released. I'm on console and host is on pc. Lost fence in front of house when host left area and only I was there. Host appears to walk on air. Terrain did not look like this before update that was done to try and fix this problem. However we ended up with a problem after the update. This is the only location we have found on this seed.

Destin JonesHello, I got on valheim this morning. My world has changed. Through managed saved, I think this reset the world or brought it back to its default. How do I get my world and bases back. Btw, I am an XSX player.

Toddyswe have a dedicated server with only steam players, and one of them is having this issue. Reinstaled windows, drivers, the game, still getting the same error. It only bugs with him, we have 8 players total.

VorprailHaving this exact problem between the Xbox gamepass and pc gamepass versions. Sat there on a raft while approaching my base and watched it crumble to the ground in the distance.

IanHello, not sure if its the same but:
I logged in to our server (via xbox) today and spawned in deep sea. Swam around and looked up to see our main base high above me collapsing. After trying to find a way out i died and respawned at the start... which was surrounded by 20m high wall all around so no way to get out.
I also noticed my map has reset. I tried logging into it on my pc too and it was the same issue.
We play on a dedicated server on G-Portal and ive been away so havnt played for over a week. The g portal server was created on pc (xbox gp) with cross play on. We all mainly play on Xbox.
I actually have an old local save on my xbox (that we used to carry on on the server) and that is all fine with the main base actually having land under it.
Can you advise please? We've put a lot of work into this server world and its kinda heart-breaking. -

IanJust got this issue yesterday - was told it was supposed to be fixed? Is it still outstanding or is there a known cause?

MaCarBre Admin@Ian
This particular issue has been fixed long time ago.
Other related problems where players may still experience some terrain changes differences, are related to modifying the terrain around Draugr villages.
If you think there is a terrain mismatch on the world you are currently playing on, and that it's not related to Draugr villages, please share information about your world seed, screenshot of location in the world (or pos console command - only in singleplayer), how's the world being hosted, on which platform are players running Valheim. -

Ian@MaCarBre
This was my first time playing so i don't know anything about Draugr villages.
The server was being hosted on one computer though steam.
I was playing on another computer through xbox pc app on the same network as the server and saw one map.
Friend was playing through steam on another network and saw the same map as me.
Our map had a river.
Partner was playing on XBOX on same network as me and server and saw a somewhat similar but different map.
They did not have the entire river but there were fish on the ground where our river was and some hills were different.
I didn't take any screenshots or anything, i'm sorry, I thought that it was still an ongoing bug. -

Do you know how old is the world? (when was the world created, which month or game version)
Can you ask the world host to check the seed of the world? (seed is visible in world selection menu, before they start the server).
