How To Change The Version Of Your Valheim Server

If you'd prefer an alternative version rather than the current public release, here's how to change the version of your Valheim server.

Danger

Changing server versions may cause issues with your world save, so make sure you always take a backup first. We also recommend enabling Wipe All Files during the reinstall for a fresh installation. GhostCap officially only supports the main, public branch of the game.

Changing Steam Beta Version

Access the GhostCap Panel and Stop your server.
Open Settings.
Modify the Steam Beta Branch field with your desired branch name.
Click Save only to save without restarting your server.
Click Reinstall in the top-right, choose Format (keep settings), then click Format + reinstall. This deletes all of your server's files for a clean install, so create a backup first if you want to keep your save.

Available Branches

A list of available beta branches can be found on SteamDB. The primary and recommended option is the public branch, which represents the latest stable version.
