Ryan Pennington 359 Report post Posted November 22, 2022 It is recommended *BUT NOT REQUIRED* to do a world save wipe before switching to a Public Test build. Quote Q: Do I need a new world? A: No, if you haven't explored your placeholder Mistlands areas. But it is highly recommended you start a new one because terrain generation has been slightly altered across the board, and you might find your buildings floating and collapsing. Please be sure to download a backup from FTP using this guide before switching to Public Beta. To obtain a manual backup of your Valheim server follow the below steps: Stop the game server. Click on the IP/Host link under the FTP Details section of your control panel. This will either open up an FTP view in your current browser or in your preferred FTP client. If you are having issues, please see --> FTP Access. The files you are looking for are the .db and .fwl file and can be found within the worlds folder. The file name will always be GSID.db and GSID.fwl (GSID = Game Server ID number) The below image is what it will look like in WinSCP, in this example the files are 124710.db and 124710.fwl Once you have located the files simply drag them to your desktop if using an FTP client, if its open in your web browser just click on the links.
