Valheim Hotfixes 1.0.10 and 1.0.12 Fix Deep North Armor and Add Achievements Command
Valheim hotfixes 1.0.10 and 1.0.12 bring Deep North armor repairs, sound updates, and new devcommands for achievements to Steam and all other platforms.
Two new hotfixes are live for Valheim, bringing platform-wide fixes for the Deep North alongside Steam-specific additions that will roll out to other platforms soon. Players can finally repair endgame heavy armor, and a new devcommand lets modded or command-using players opt back into achievements.
Platform-Wide Fixes in 1.0.10
Patch 1.0.10 makes heavy armor in the Deep North repairable across all platforms. Greydwarf Shamans in the region now deal appropriate amounts of damage and healing. Punching no longer removes snow, though landing on snow without directly walking does remove it. Various creature and snow sound effects have also been updated.
Steam-Specific Fixes in 1.0.12
Patch 1.0.12 introduces Steam-specific fixes that remain fully crossplay compatible and will extend to other platforms shortly. Using the Forge of Potential no longer unlocks unintended recipes. Items on armor and item stands retain durability and upgrade levels if the world has not loaded in the 1.0 update yet. A crash occurring when players accessed unloaded zones has been resolved, and banlist and whitelist compatibility has been fixed for old IDs alongside new ones.
Achievements and Quality of Life
Players blocked from earning achievements due to previous devcommand usage can now opt back in. A new popup clarifies achievement status, and players can use the devcommand yesiuseddevcommandsbutiwantmyachievementsanyway to re-enable them. Additionally, carts fit more easily through the Timberwood Drawbridge, and picked Jotun Puffs and Magecaps no longer appear pickable.
Why this patch matters
These hotfixes resolve critical gear and progression pain points in the Deep North while smoothing out crossplay and quality of life issues.
