New Valheim patch 0.147.3 reduces latency on dedicated servers and more

Developers Iron Gate released patch notes for a new patch coming to Valheim designed to reduce latency on dedicated servers. Update 0.147.3 sees dedicated servers will now always use direct connections instead of using Steam Datagram Relay (SDR). This should result in much lower latency for most players.

The new update also brings a range of other small changes:

• Localization updates
• Made Haldor head-turn smoother
• Object network interpolation is skipped if object was far away, solved issue with network players flying through the air when entering dungeons & exiting portals etc
• Added -public 1/0 flag to dedicated server again, Allows players to host local lan only servers
• Join IP-button updated to allow for lan-connections (dedicated servers only) & added DNS support
• Dedicated servers use directIP connection instead of SDR, solves issues with slow steam relays in some areas of the world
• Bonemass puke-effect network fix
• Updated Dedicated-server PDF manual
• Prevent pickup items when entering portals
• Lowered wolf procreation slightly
• Lowered chance of boss trophy talking
