Valheim is an early-access open-world survival game developed by Iron Gate Studio. Valheim is steadily releasing new updates, such as the Mistlands update or a rework of the food system. However, users who have modded their games may experience crashes when loading an outdated mod on the new version. Most of the time, the out-of-date mod is the BepInEx framework, which is typically updated quickly after game updates.
Note: If the Valheim server still crashes after updating BepInEx, check the installed mods for updates and replace or delete the out of date .dll files.
