Its the cloud syncing with the game BS auto saves even though it was great to get them. I disabled it and zip my game's charactors and World after each play,'
Just logg off to create a new save

My game is only 20 odd hours in - so barely noticeable (a micro stutter). Can see it could get worse in a very large settlement, but with the game being so small, have you tried moving it to an SSD (assuming it's installed on HDD)? Maybe that could help?

Both my game and the save files are installed to a drive that's literally as fast as a RAM drive. After ~200 hours of playing (mostly normal stuff, exploring, a little building), saving is taking >2.5 seconds on it now. I think it outputs the -entire- world every time it saves, instead of just changed areas. Definitely room for improvement, but even the fastest drive known to mankind won't change it once you get deep into a game. Even a dedicated server has to save regularly, so while players connected don't see it, it's pausing for a good chunk of time behind the scenes.

Ah - ok. Does sound like it's something the devs could address in a future update then. Does seem a little unoptimised to save the whole world every time, rather than a sequential save.

You can disable auto-save, go to file
\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim\valheim_Data\Managed\assembly_valheim.dll

Class: public class Game : MonoBehaviour
Method: private void UpdateSaving(float dt)

Just remove everything that is inside of this method and it won't autosave anymore

I'm not understanding any of this. Do I delete the specific DLL file or everything in the folder?

They're assuming that everyone is a programmer with access to a disassembler. The instructions they gave are for removing a specific function from that .dll code library. Do not attempt code alteration if you're not a qualified programmer with full familiarity of the codebase for the program you're altering.

I get like 2-3 seconds of massive lurches—good thing the games warns you autosave is coming lol

Yes, thats what most of us are experiencing and its geting worse for my 120 hours game. The autosave happens every 20min so its noticeable
