How to Set Up a Dedicated Server in Valheim

TabulatingMadam·3 months ago

First, grab Valheim from Steam and install it on a PC with a solid internet connection. Then, right-click Valheim in your Steam library, go to 'Properties', and set launch options to include '-console' and '-server' parameters. Next, run Valheim through Steam, open the console with F5, and use the command 'startserver -name [YourServerName] -port [PortNumber] -world [WorldName] -password [Password]'. Finally, make sure your friends have the server info, and you're set!

Set up a dedicated Valheim server by creating a separate installation using SteamCMD. Download SteamCMD, create a directory for your server files, and use SteamCMD to download the Valheim server files with the command 'app_update 896660'. Once done, create a new .bat file to start the server with the desired settings. Don't forget to forward the necessary ports on your router, and you're good to go!
