Sythalin 2 Report post Posted February 27, 2021 It's pretty self explanatory, and further details can be gained by clicking the ! next to "Restart Interval". Are you having troubles with something else? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Pennington 359 Report post Posted February 27, 2021 The server restarts, it will update/validate if you have that enabled. There may be a 20 minute rollback if you have players online as that's how often the server saves. If you have a specific concern let us know.

penrose 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2021 Thank you for the responses. the info in the config panel says nothing about 20 minute rollback It merely details various times you can set the restart to. That being said, I set it up to restart when I assume no one will be playing. Does this seem like a foolproof plan to keep things running smoothly and to ensure that nothing that’s been built will be lost? Also, last night when playing with a friend we were both disconnected from the server and I seemed to have lost this 20 minutes or so. I’m now wondering if when I set the new restart time on Monday the other restart was still in place. Will have to explore. if you have a best practices document to share to ensure Valheim is always updated and running smoothly feel free to send my way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sythalin 2 Report post Posted February 28, 2021 Unfortunately the 20min save intervals are hard coded into the game, so there's nothing that can be done by anyone unless the devs change it. If you are online and you see that your restart timer is coming, you can hit F5 and type "save" to force a save at it's current point. You will need admin status to do this. Lastly, in my experience setting custom restart times has lead to the server shutting down at that time, but never restarting again until I manually do so. This was a few weeks back, so not sure if this was ever fixed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
