Frustrating Coop - connection loss -> sec player loses ALL equipment

I want to check if you have experienced similar problems, or if it is just a problem of windows & linux and/or a internet connection problem.

My wife (windows) and me (linux mint) really enjoy the game, but besides other frustrating moments i.e. killed on the 10² corpse run to get to your equipment, we experienced something even more frustrating. After a propblem with our internet connection, my wife had to restart the game, but had lost all of her equipment.
At the first time we worked hard to rebuild everything, but now I see cheating as justified. Unfortunately.

A hint for the developers. At the second time inside a mistland dungeon I saw the name of my teammate shown where a wall was. I guess there must be a bug, placing the other teamplayer behind the wall and if there is a corpse you can reach it because it is clipped behind it.

Thank you for your advice. The newest patch released today is awesome. Not a single disconnect and you can manually save your game. very fine. Well done devs of Valheim!:steamhappy:

If you are losing stuff due to disconnections, thats a person save issue, not a server issue.

If you have you character cloud saved, it saves far less often then a locally saved character. Change your character save to a local save, and it will save more often, thus resulting in less time loss due to a disconnect.

( ive read a lot of posts about MP synch errors where the host being fine but "dial-in" losing stuff.progress etc.. or on dedic server worse..)

surely you can setup a local lan.. to avoid the internet totally for gameplay..(i'm not an Valheim MP player..)
