Valheim Patch 0.217.30 Fixes Controller and Text Bugs

Valheim patch 0.217.30 fixes a series of technical issues, including non-English character text loading errors, controller menu inputs, and merchant shield functionality.

Iron Gate has released a hotfix for Valheim, addressing interface bugs, character orientation errors, and specific controller input problems across multiple platforms.

Controller and Menu Fixes

Several interface and controller bugs are resolved in this patch. PlayStation controller touchpads no longer trigger the pause and map menus simultaneously. Custom keybinds for the build menu now correctly close the menu when pressed. Steam Deck D-pad and left trackpad inputs now register properly in the user interface. Exiting the pause menu no longer causes characters to jump unexpectedly depending on the active controller layout.

General Bug Fixes

Text loading errors caused by non-English characters in computer names are now resolved. Character orientation properly updates when interacting with objects in the world. Merchant shields also resume normal function after a player logs out and back in.

Why this patch matters

Patch 0.217.30 provides quality-of-life repairs for controller layouts and text rendering issues without altering gameplay systems.
