Knowledgebase

To upload a world to your Valheim server, you must do the following:

Locate the world on your PC, this will be inside your Windows users AppData folder.
1. The path to this folder is the following: “C:\Users\YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds”
2. Note that the AppData folder is hidden, if you click the bar on Windows Explorer you can type in the folder then hit enter to get to it
Locate the .db (Database File) and the .fwl file for the world you want to load, you do not need the .old files
On the control panel, go to the server that you want to upload the world to
Stop the server, this will ensure no save files you upload get overwritten
Go to the file manager then click into the saves folder followed by the worlds folder
1. If the worlds folder does not exist, you can create it by clicking Create Folder then setting the name of the folder to worlds
2. Starting your server will create this folder too
Click the Upload button then select the two files you found before, followed by Upload

On the control panel for the server you uploaded the world on, click Configuration Files.
You will see a file called server.bat, on the right of this file click Configuration Editor
In the World field enter the name of the world you uploaded in part one

Click save then start your server, the world you uploaded will now load and be playable
