As indicated by the access code, please ensure to create backups of your save files before playing.

- FEEDBACK: Please leave any feedback in the “#valheim-public-test” channel in our Discord or through the form on our website.
It's time for a patch with some Ashlands fixes! There are tweaks to both weapons and building pieces, and there should now also be some improvements to the loading screen. Thank you for your continued feedback!
