Valheim’s one of the noticeable problems is the limited number of multiplayer support. Yes! up to 10 players can join the game in multiplayer mode at a time which is way less than other multiplayer open-world survival games. Additionally, players can easily create and host their own game servers depending on the region which seems useful enough but it’s actually not. This can bring multiple server errors or issues and Valheim Incompatible Version Error is one of them. If you’re also receiving the same error, check out this troubleshooting guide to fix it.

So, whenever the game client and server don’t run the same version of the game, the incompatible version error will start appearing to multiple players quite often. In that scenario, you’ll need to update both the game and the server to its latest version. Now, without wasting any more time, let’s jump into the steps below.

If you want to simply check Valheim game updates on the Steam client, you can do so:

- Now, right-click on the Valheim from the left pane.
- Select Properties > Click on Updates.
- If there is an update available, grab it.
However, if you can’t see any available update notification for the Valheim game, make sure to enable the ‘Automatic Updates’ option. Alternatively, make sure to completely close the Steam client and restart your computer. Then you can check for the game update again as sometimes the game update may not appear due to system glitches or temporary cache files.
