Yesterday Iron Gate released a patch with some well-received fixes for Valheim. This patch (0.153.2) contains some visual updates of the bigger creatures in Valheim, and also some quality issues around harpoons and physics.
The list from the Steam page contains the following:
- Fixed smelter issue when a very long time has passed since visiting (10000 days)
- 30s Pre world save warning added
- Stone stair physics fix
- Inventory screen gamepad focus fix
- Large-creature visual overhaul (troll, boss-2 & boss-3)
- Troll ragdoll material fix
- Harpoon mechanics overhauled
- Engine updated (some stability improvements)
- Draugr archer visual fixes (1 & 2 star draugrs sometimes got the wrong material)
- Fixed issues when crafting station is destroyed while in use
- Creature group spawning adjusted to avoid spawning over total limit (in some cases)
- Credits updated
- Localization updates
The Troll material fix changes the look of the troll, adding more hair and generally improving the texture. The harpoon fix makes the harpoon feel less like a large rubber band, and more like a rope to haul in.
