Not sure if it will help or not, but to those who had issues with losing their buildings and world progression I feel you. I had the same thing happen to me when I was asking my friend to transfer the world files to me. I think what may have helped was me having my friend backup his world in game and then MAYBE changing the server to a local save instead of cloud. Then he compressed the file and sent it over to me. I made sure to delete the old world data that I had on my computer in game with the "delete" button as well as deleting the old world files on my computer before placing the new "Worlds_local" file onto my computer and it worked. I'm not tech savvy or anything, but hopefully this may help someone in the same boat.
Very easy tutorial. I go now to make a backup before the Ashlands update. Please do not delete this video before I have a chance to review it whenever I need to restore. 😜
Dude Pls Help, I did the backup and just place to the "Worlds" Folder as you told in video, but when i try to open available world in vailheim, It wont detect the world . Any Solution ? :(
I followed your steps and managed to make a backup but when I opened the game, it became extremely laggy even though my laptop is plugged in. Any solution to this problem?
Okay so it possible to get one of my world files into a different server host ? For example current server host slapped us with a test server cuz the other one had weird crashes they blamed valheim plus but we were running fine with 20 ppl for 2 weeks straight until they went to shit. But now I’m wondering would it be possible to get my world with all builds on it from current host and move it to a different host with full ftp access ?
You can only restore worlds if you backed them up in the first place lol. Thats the whole point. You cant restore something that doesnt have a backup that you deleted unless you have it autosaved somewhere else.@@valdemarfagernas9968
i played the game offline for 2 weeks because wifi went out and when my wifi came back on i went to log in and all my damn shit was gone 120hrs of fucking progress disappeared it set me bag to fucking bronze age
Should I do this daily? Like if I haven’t run into him in the day that I played I should make another copy of file? Or does that file have old progress and it won’t update as I play so I will get a setback?, does this make sense someone plz help
@@ellis2888 rough doo mate i only had my high levle bronze stuff but i was getting iron at the time so i will now have to get my bronze stuff to then get more iron
Yes, dedicatd servers are exactly the same. only difference is you dont have character folder since on a dedicated server you arent making any characters. you can even copy your personal world from your single player into the server world and run that on your server

There is no building after restore
you have to remember both files with the same name, the one file is the building the other one is the world itself
hope this helps
Same issue, I can’t seem to get my server to launch with the buildings all there
A video explaining backing up live worlds/servers would be fun. ill do some testing and make my own unless you can beat me :p
Thanks. Very simple to follow
very helpful best way ive seen so far
Dude Pls Help, I did the backup and just place to the "Worlds" Folder as
you told in video, but when i try to open available world in vailheim,
It wont detect the world . Any Solution ? :(
maybe replace the file in the worlds and don't make a another folder within the "worlds" folder, hope this might help.
ITS NOT WORK
i cant OPEN IT
youre a life saver thank you

Use console commands to spawn your stuff back in.
@@TheGrumbliestPuppy honestly you right I did all that stuff anyway it wouldn’t technically it wouldn’t be cheating
What’s wild that my cloud save is on auto, went to files to only see my character file. Hurts
Doesnt work and im screwd up when i died in plains and lost iron gear and now the deathsquitos kills me all time
why is there no ingame option to have those files shared or send to someone, how obnoxious
My Valheim folder has worlds and worlds_local. Same for characters. I don't see that in the video. Should I be concerned about that?
thanks again for the help
Idef what? Huh? IM EVEN MORE CORNFUSED
can i still get my old world back even after a couple days of it being deleted?
I monkeyed with my charator and world files and now I can't connect to servers. How can I fix this?
On my world I did a session and I beat a boss and I logged on next day and it wasn’t there
well help my world got deleted its not in my worlds folder either how do i get it back do you know
Thanks!

Yes, dedicatd servers are exactly the same. only difference is you dont have character folder since on a dedicated server you arent making any characters. you can even copy your personal world from your single player into the server world and run that on your server
