Summary (AI)

Valheim update 1.0.14 introduces new keybinding options, including alternate dodge keys and hotbar rebinding, along with an accessibility toggle for blocking and an option to skip the startup cinematic. Several GPU performance improvements have been made, particularly for Switch 2, and heightmap shadows and particle systems have been optimized. Various gameplay fixes address player rotation during attacks, sheathing controls on gamepads, and build piece effects for enemy blocking. The patch also resolves multiple bugs related to multiplayer saving, terrain modifications, item stacking with cheated items, and achievement unlocking. Additionally, platform-specific fixes for Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5 improve TV output stability and achievement functionality.

Tip: expand all for quick scanning.

Add toggle to Gameplay settings to skip the intro cinematic on startup
When attacking, the player’s rotation now also snaps towards the intended attack direction when the “attack towards look direction” option is enabled, not just when it’s disabled.
Swapped Motion Sensor and Sheath keybinds on gamepad, returning Sheath to its original keybind. Motion Sensor can now be activated with the alt-key + Sheath button instead.
Jotun puffs and Magecaps no longer respawn.
Fix for player characters sometimes mistakenly being marked as temporary cheaters, leading to items dropped by monsters they kill being incorrectly marked as having a cheated origin.
Cheated stackable items no longer stack with regular items, preventing uncheated stacks from being “corrupted” into a cheated state.
Persistent Events devcommand (“pevents”) is now actually behind the devcommands toggle and not available in the console by default.
Disabled biomedata caching, fixing a bug where the cache could end up in an invalid state, making it impossible to join remote servers.
Made placeable boulders persist, only placeable on the ground, break if the ground they’re standing on goes away, and give ground-level support.
Now plays the correct music in Mörkhalla.
Better mixing of location music in the Deep North.
Tweaked Seal and Baby Seal colliders to better match their bodies.
PlayStation®5: The “Stronger Together” achievement is now achievable.
