Given that the patch enabling the crossplay has aparently broken a notable number of installs maybe IG should ask for a refund. Because it certainly doesn't seem like the group IG hired bothered to test their code before handing it over to IG.

Probably due to Mods.

If your using mods, probably with server sync, disable Crossplay for your server.

Nope, solo game using normal local client:server install with no mods installed. I even uninstalled the game, renamed the original game install folder, then had Steam do a clean reinstall. Game still didn't start. Someone on a different thread suggested a workaround of forcing steam to use an old_stable version that did get the game going again on my system but for those running a dedicated server, either at home or a hosting service, can't use that workaround.

Hopefully your suggestion will help those people.

and for the record I'm running Valhiem on a Debian 10 GNU/Linux install and haven't applied any OS or system updates in about 2 weeks so whatever is happening is definitly due to IG's recent patch.
