HeightmapBuilder crashes the game on startup

A NullReferenceException in HeightmapBuilder crashes the game in the splash screen.

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object at HeightmapBuilder.Build (HeightmapBuilder+HMBuildData data) [0x0005e] in <9be67623c6d74705a14f96d3a8ff485d>:0 at HeightmapBuilder.BuildThread () [0x00067] in <9be67623c6d74705a14f96d3a8ff485d>:0 at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart_Context (System.Object state) [0x00014] in <ee3d4770f0bf4ed6992425c1663ee333>:0 at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.RunInternal (System.Threading.ExecutionContext executionContext, System.Threading.ContextCallback callback, System.Object state, System.Boolean preserveSyncCtx) [0x00071] in <ee3d4770f0bf4ed6992425c1663ee333>:0 at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run (System.Threading.ExecutionContext executionContext, System.Threading.ContextCallback callback, System.Object state, System.Boolean preserveSyncCtx) [0x00000] in <ee3d4770f0bf4ed6992425c1663ee333>:0 at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run (System.Threading.ExecutionContext executionContext, System.Threading.ContextCallback callback, System.Object state) [0x0002b] in <ee3d4770f0bf4ed6992425c1663ee333>:0 at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart () [0x00008] in <ee3d4770f0bf4ed6992425c1663ee333>:0 UnityEngine.DebugLogHandler:Internal_LogException(Exception, Object) UnityEngine.DebugLogHandler:LogException(Exception, Object) UnityEngine.Logger:LogException(Exception, Object) UnityEngine.Debug:LogException(Exception) UnityEngine.<>c:<RegisterUECatcher>b__0_0(Object, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs)

Seems to be something related to WorldGenerator not initializing... As that is what causes the NullReferenceException

This line is what isn't properly working:

I would follow the steps below exactly(!):
1. Uninstall game through Steam.
2. Go here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common

... and delete the folder "Valheim", if still present. IMPORTANT!
3. Re-install the game through Steam.

Let us know if that helped.

hey moderators can you add an "All Mods Discussions" thread for posts about mods. Since as of last patch they not supported and those that use can help each other there maybe? just asking :-) since im 100% Vanilla Skall!

This is not a post about mods, some random person showed up and started talking about mods. My game is crashing while 100% vanilla. If it was about a mod, I'd have written that in the original post.

Are you talking about my people playground mod? That's been fixed. Also very off-topic for a valheim discussion.

I was referring to the failure of your build height thingy, I was displaying empathy. You never said prior it had anything to not do with mods.

They have never been supported, but that idea is genius IMO.

I'm not sure what you mean, I've never made any mods about build height in any game...

Hey OP sorry many mods show up like that on startup if out of date... so if you 100% vanilla. do you get the same result using Vulcan option as well on startup? (ps sounds graphical or GPU issue..)

Yeah, same output on vulkan. I've tracked it down to an issue with the main menu world not generating properly.
