Game is severely bugged pls help

Idk what is happening to my game but there are multiple bugs that ruin the game, firstly I can’t remove items from certain things like item stands and cooking stations. Secondly furnaces turn on and off randomly, making smelting times much longer. The main issue is that mobs don’t spawn naturally, in all biomes past Black Forest. They only spawn from spawners or in existing camps like Fuling villages or body piles. This kinda ruins the game as I have to turn on cheats to manually spawn enemies in. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling, making new worlds, new characters, nothing works. Pls help

the second issue with the furnace might be because the furnace exhaust openeing might be blocked or something is blocking the smoke to get away - when the smoke starts to "pile up" the furnace will stop working until the smoke is gone
same applies to fires when the smoke cant get away the fire goes off

the first and third issue might be mod related maybe check if there are any remains of mods somewhere in the save files
sorry as i cant dive deeper into that as i prefer playing valheim without mods

did you tried to verify the game files via steam?

your furnace smoke are blocked by something, the same can happen to any that make smoke

on the first bug, it might be because the game just got updated, if you find a person with similiar problem then it will be fixed soon

If you play on a server contact the server admin.

If you play solo then it sounds like you have left over mods or corrupted files.

Uninstall game

Manually go the folder and delete the game. You have to do this manually as an uninstall will not remove files it does not recognize it put in,

Reinstall game

Saves are in appdata so they should be safe. If you want to manually back up saves go there.

As others have said the smoke thing was a change done. Smelters, kiln etc need to be vented now.
