There can be a problem if you keep using your old BepInEx config.

thanks dude now i know where the problem was. bepinex didn't release an update for the new patch so it crashes.

What? Even BepInEx "5.4.2101" works perfectly fine with the latest patch level "0.214.300 [but cooler]" (=v0.214.305).
If you're using the latest beta-version/patch that's on you...

no it's just the normal version.

Update it.

Unzip the files from the latest BepinEx package and overwrite them all in your Valheim folder.

it's updated.

start completely fresh. uninstall valheim, DELETE the old install folder and all folders still left over from the uninstall.

reinstall valheim. run vanilla once. quit out. install the latest bepinex, and attempt to run the game with ONLY bepinex installed and see if you still get the error.

[Fatal : Bepinex] Could not run preloader
Error Code is 0x000f7

If you are going for a fresh install, I'd advise you not to install BepInEx in Valheim folder, but in a dedicated folder you can create in AppData. It is explained in one BepInEx installation section (the drawback being tp add a path as a launching parameter).

That way, it will be simpler to correctly update BepInEx without corrupting the game (hence to be sure that BepInEx is not the cause of the crash),

For now, BepInEx still works fine on linux, but tbh, I don't have any complex mods that may turn obsolete if the game makes changes to the UI or the way content is accessed.

i know, i did that too but i gotta say that bepinex is the cause of the crash. even without any mods, launching the game and bepinex separately using thunderstore it still crashes.

Well, what does your Player.log file tell when you try to launch the game with BepInEx and no mod?

it does recognize it on launch but it doesn't appear in the crash log.

Does the game crash when you disable BepInEx?
