Do I have to own Valheim to start a dedicated server?
Hi I've been playing Valheim through xbox games pass, and I'm interested in running my own dedicated server. Most info I see tells you you have to get the server files from your steam library, I'm wondering if this is the only way or are the server files available on their own in some other way? Thanks.

I don't think so, I believe you can install a dedicated server without owning the title on steam.
Try searching for "Valheim Dedicated Server" on your steam library.
You can also install the dedicated server anonymously using steamcmd, which is a command line tool for linux and windows.

You need the Steam client and files to be able to run it, so yes, you need to purchase Valheim in order to create a server.

I don't actually know. Try the installer?
Server installer.bat:
Server installer.bat:
C:\Steam\SteamCMD\steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir C:\Games\Valheim +app_update 896660 validate +quitChange paths as you see fit for your PC.

This is incorrect. I use Game Pass and run a server using SteamCMD.
