Valheim Server Setup Guide

Setup

  1. Deploy a game server and select Valheim
  2. Basic tier works for most groups (2-10 players)
  3. Set a world name and server password

Connecting

Valheim uses Steam Game Server for connections:

  1. Open Valheim → Join Game
  2. Search for your server name, or
  3. Add Server with your IP:port (e.g., 1.2.3.4:2456) or domain/subdomain

Crossplay

Valheim supports crossplay between Steam and Xbox. Enable crossplay from the startup configuration.

Troubleshooting

  • Can't find server - Use direct connect with IP:port
  • World not saving - Check disk space and permissions
  • Mods not working - Ensure version compatibility
