Valheim developers celebrate the game's fifth anniversary with flower garlands, sweetbread, and Steam Deck optimisations

Come for the spot notes, enactment for the acquisition ideas

I'm going to a toddler's day enactment connected Saturday and I person it connected bully authorization from Alva's dada that determination volition beryllium trays of sandwiches and a mates of cakes from M&S. There is nary booze provided. I'm not definite if that's due to the fact that determination should beryllium nary booze consumed astatine a two-year-old's birthday, oregon lone that we should bring our own. I conjecture I'll find retired for definite if they frisk connected the door. However, if Valheim's latest day update is thing to spell by, I americium present looking guardant to Alva's 5th birthday.

To people 5 years successful Early Access, developer Iron Gate person released an day spot that is simply a damn show amended than the imaginable of watching a bittersweet looking Colin the Caterpillar barroom getting pawed astatine by bare toddlers. There are angiosperm garlands, mysterious axe heads, and a dependable 60 fps connected Steam Deck show mode. Who doesn't privation mysterious blades astatine a day party?

While it whitethorn not beryllium a sanction you would enactment connected a banner, spot 0.221.10 offers a small thing to some the players who emotion the thought of a enactment and those who would alternatively enactment home.

For the partiers, determination are Fey Lights to drawstring up astir your settlement, sweetbreads to cook and serve, and angiosperm garlands to deterioration arsenic you usage the caller Vibe and LoveYou emotes. If you privation to support things lowkey, you whitethorn conscionable privation to deterioration the celebratory cap.

On the midpoint of the partier to non-partier, you volition find a brace of caller materials – the mysterious axe caput and the funny axehead. You'll request some if you privation to trade Early Axes, a caller dual-wielded axe you tin attain overmuch earlier than the Berserkir Axes.

Then connected the non-partier extremity of the standard you volition find a stack of prime of beingness changes. Engine optimisations to amended performance, fixes to trim armour stands' exorbitant CPU usage, a little representation intensive minimap.

All those show improvements person had a sound connected effect for the Steam Deck's show mode, which present sees Valheim reaching the all-important 60 fps.

What I truly admit astir this spot is not the improvements it's making the Early Access Viking simulation, but the acquisition ideas that it's fixed maine for Alva's 5th day party. A bully headdress and a brace of axe heads are casual capable to travel by. And it saves maine trying to enactment retired which Famous Five books she's already read.
