Randomly crashing

Randomly crashes after playing around ~30 minutes. It's annoying, because if I haven't saved or the world save hasn't happened, I lose all of my progress. I have tried to repair the files, but there's nothing from with them. I have updated my graphic drivers and windows too.

From other players' experiences, Windows 11 was a culprit to Valheim crashing frequently. That is a secondary reason why I haven't updated my Windows 10.

Other things you can try:

- set draw distance/level of detail lower
- active light point shadows lower
- turn off SSAO, Bloom, soft particles
- play in Full Screen
- play with Vulkan enabled by adding this to the launch options: -force-vulkan
- set FPS limiter to 120 or lower
- check to see if it still crashes with a new world

As for manually saving, turn on console (F5) via adding -console to the launch options, then the save command to manually save. Might need to type: devcommands before you can use the manual save command.
