Vikings!
Pre-Beta 0.7.6 patch has arrived!
Let's see what it brings:
- Survival servers are currently undergoing maintenance, now you can try it under the Singleplayer tab. We are preparing new sailing and navigation systems. They will become available again in the next patches (Loki's maze Deathmatch servers are still on now).
- Quest system
We finished a quest system that not only allows to help with your first steps in Midgard, but also provides you with different storylines in the future!

In the previous updates, we announced the boat system.
Quest system is ready and will be supplemented with content from patch to patch.
We continue to work on control and navigation systems for ships, new water and its interconnection with the already implemented dynamic weather.
Drakkar (Busse) and Karvi playable ships will arrive in the next patches.
Main known issues:
- Weapon swapping bugs in rare cases. Reconnect to fix.
- Customized weapon equip doesn't work correctly after the latest inventory rework.
- Crouch is temporarily disabled.
- Latency has a too big influence on the block (VFX could not work as well as block quality is not we are aiming for).
- In rare cases game process doesn't finish on its own for a long time.
- Characters don't play movement animations correctly. We need to fix upperbody bones rotation during movement animations.
Important! Some bugs can appear due to conflict with temp / saved files of previous VALHALL versions on your PC.
If you meet an unlisted issue then:
- delete all game saves here: C:|Users|*YourName*|AppData|Local|VALHALL.
- uninstall the game through Steam
- delete manually game folder in your Steam folder
The future patches bring:
- New animals.
- Boats.
