What is a Valheim dedicated server?
But this has some issues:
This is where dedicated servers come in.
A dedicated server is a Valheim server that you set up yourself on a machine of your choosing.
Edit the “start_headless_server” file.
There you’ll find a file named “start_headless_server”.
(Optional) Copy the existing world files to your host machine.
Find your IP Address.
In the window that appears, throw in “ipconfig” and hit Enter.
To find this, just go toWhat Is My IP Addressand use the address it prints for you.
Set up Port Forwarding for friends outside your house.
Then hit Enter to bring up your router tool.
Allow the Ports through your Firewall.
Next you oughta let those ports through your Firewall.
To do so, run with this:
7. fire off the server!
Now it’s possible for you to spin up the Valheim Dedicated Server tool.
Wait until a message appears in the console that says “Game Server Connected”.
You and your friends can now join the server!
Just find that “start_headless_server” file again in Windows Explorer, and double-click it to execute the server.
you might create a shortcut for the file on your desktop for easier access in future.
And that’s everything there is to know about setting up a Valheim dedicated server in a single page.
We hope you found everything you needed here.
