Valheim latest update, Patch 0.148.6, just went live today. The update is focused heavily on gameplay changes and bug fixes. It was supposed to come a few days early but the developer was waiting for the Steam Socket API update. So, the developer recommends that you make sure that Steam is also updated to the latest version. You can check it by going to Steam > Menu > Help > About Steam. The patch requires the March 22, 2021 version of Steam.
