I'm having similar problems with Valheim. I have my character, Droolius Caesar all set up and ready to start the game. When all of a sudden, CRASH!...Black screen. Then a pop up appears and asks if I want to remain in-game to see if the game will work. Or close the game and leave. (So far, always closing the game. I've tried this 3 times. One good thing, I don't have to re-boot the computer). I am heartbroken, loving everything Valheim has to offer. I've waited a long time to buy this game. I'd rather solve this issue up rather then getting a refund...But on the other hand, I don't want to wait too long with a game that doesn't work.
I'm 'trying' to play on Single Player mode if that helps. I'm really a Lone-Wolf player that plays very few online games.
For the record, my computer is extremely fast with TONS of space to run any game out there. And it has a killer GPU, (Graphics card) that's meant for high-end gaming. So I doubt very much that my computer is to blame for this crashing.

From what I've seen on the forums the quality of your system doesn't matter much, the game is in EA, not optimized, and is known to have issues no matter how good your system is. I hope you find a solution because it's a good game and well worth the price. Try searching the forums for help, there are a lot of tech support posts.

I tried that Vulkan, and same thing...CRASH! So that didn't work. I'll keep trying. You are very kind. Thank-you again for your help.
