Not using Valhiem plus, but my game is also "broken" in that the versions are not compatible after the update.

Same here. UI is completely broken, can't even select a character.

After a few seconds I could select a character and biome, but the actual game would not launch.

Note that all my characters are local, not cloud. Can't save scum with cloud saves

same here hope they will fix this quick

Same here, and im using valheim Plus

Mods will always break with a new update, it then depends on the mod authors to update their mods.

It is Valheim Plus causing the issue. Which is a challenge since I boosted storage and might lose things if I sign in. Please post back if someone sees this get updated.

I don't have first-hand experience with modding, but a mod manager like Thunderstore should be able to tell you when mods have a new update.

Main reason for the issue is probably a Unity update, as ValheimPlus ships copies of the engine .NET libraries which include symbol names (the game itself doesn't include these, so-called "stripped" libraries). These libraries must match both the game and the core engine, so if there are changes, it might not break completely, but cause issues in certain areas.

We might have to wait for the ValheimPlus team to provide updated libraries, which might take a few days.

Not using Valhiem plus but broken...

yeah losing storage stuff is my concern

I tried this and it works:

-in steam valheim properties change to the beta folder and choose "previous old stable"
-verify data if you want
-remove previous startup options (all) in Steam
-start the game unmodded and check if it works
-on the left side you can see the latest patch before this patch today
-change resolution and everything else for your liking
-disable bepin mod, no need to uninstall
-disable all depend mods from bepin
-start the game modded with your mod manager (Thunderstore for me)
-Check if it works
-enable bepin
-start modded again and check
-enable the rest of the mods
-ofcourse for HD Plus user you must overwrite the assets files again
-renew your startup otpions for console, fullscreen etc.
...thats it

hope i could help

...oh -> disable bepinmod before you start the first time !!!

The engine log contains the information what causes the issue.:

[Warning: HarmonyX] AccessTools.DeclaredMethod: Could not find method for type Chat and name OnNewChatMessage and parameters (UnityEngine.GameObject, long, UnityEngine.Vector3, Talker+Type, string, string)
[Warning: HarmonyX] AccessTools.DeclaredMethod: Could not find method for type Chat and name OnNewChatMessage and parameters (UnityEngine.GameObject, long, UnityEngine.Vector3, Talker+Type, string, string)
[Error : Unity Log] ArgumentException: Undefined target method for patch method static bool ValheimPlus.GameClasses.Chat_AddInworldText_Patch::Prefix(Chat& __instance, UnityEngine.GameObject go, long senderID, UnityEngine.Vector3 pos, Talker+Type type, string user, string text)
Stack trace:

HarmonyX fails to patch the Chat::AddInworldText() method. It looks like the function's signature has been changed in Valheim code, so the patch fails and this breaks the mod.

There's also already a bug report in the repository:
