Iron Gate AB announced the release of Patch 0.221.12 for Valheim today via their Discord, Steam page, and website. You can sail your way over for a look at the official patch message on their website, here.
It would seem Iron Gate AB has quite a few fixes in the works on this patch!
Iron mentioned wanting to get into some Valheim when one of the larger patches is set to release. If I understood him correctly, that was sometime this year. The exact time frame eludes me currently.
I’ll be looking forward to some more sailing voyages once it drops and our group hopefully moves over to become Vikings again for some time!
Explore well and stay safe out there, Vikings!

Patch 0.221.12
February 19, 2026
We’ve got a couple of fixes for you today!
Please also note that playing using Vulkan might currently cause Valheim to be unstable and/or crash. If you want to continue using Vulkan, you can disable the FPS limiters in e.g. the Nvidia Control Panel for a hopefully smoother experience. Rest assured that we’re working on a solution for the Vulkan issue, however, and that it should hopefully be back to normal soon!
Patch Notes:
* Added release-to-select in the radial menu: If you continue holding down the radial menu button/key after the radial menu appears, you can select an emote by releasing the button/key.
* Reverted crouching being unintentionally changed to a press-and-hold action on gamepad. Now it’s back to being a single press again.
* Fixed annoying resolution setting behavior in windowed mode when changing settings.
* Fixed crash on startup on Windows that triggers under specific conditions when using Vulkan.
* Fixed audio stutters in Ashlands.
* Fixed sometimes not being able to apply graphics settings properly the first time after updating from an earlier version.
* Fixed some minor UX issues in the graphics settings menu.For modders:
* Fixed a null reference exception that started happening in 0.221.10 when mods directly or indirectly accessed preferences at startup (for example via the localization system).
