Do yourself a favor and just rent a server. Less headache, more gaming.
Use the Steam Tool ‘Valheim Dedicated Server,’ edit the batch file with your server's details, and launch it. Makes you feel like a tech wizard.
Just grab the Valheim Dedicated Server tool from your Steam library, tweak the `start_headless_server.bat` file with your server name, world name, and password, then run it. Bam, you've got a local server!
Take the Valheim Dedicated Server from Steam, edit `start_headless_server.bat` with server name, world name, and password. Easy as pie. Been hosting for months!
