Valheim Public Test Patch 0.217.38 Fixes Mouse Input and Xbox Settings

Valheim Public Test patch 0.217.38 addresses mouse input resets, IME chat bugs, keybinding conflicts, and Xbox graphic preset scaling issues.

Iron Gate has pushed a new update to the Valheim Public Test branch, resolving input bugs, text overlap in settings, and rendering scale issues on Xbox consoles.

PC Fixes and Improvements

The patch resolves a bug that reset mouse input values to Mouse Back, alongside a fix for IME input failing to register on the first chat message. It also fixes an issue preventing players from resetting keybindings if the left mouse button was assigned to switch settings tabs, and cleans up overlapping text elements in the settings menu. Localization files are also updated.

Xbox Specific Adjustments

On Xbox consoles, render scale options are removed from graphic presets, and user accounts with previously altered render scales have had settings automatically reset. Additionally, the patch fixes an input validation bug that occurred when using keyboard and mouse setups on Xbox.

Why this patch matters

This minor test patch smooths out quality-of-life snags for mouse input and console display settings ahead of a full live release.
