WorldNamePathFix
Client-side workaround for a Valheim 1.0 bug.
Problem
If a dedicated server's world name contains characters that are invalid in Windows file names
(for example quotes: "Welt1"), Windows clients get stuck on a black screen when joining.
The log shows:
System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path.
at AltBiomeWorldData.GetFilePath (System.String worldName)
at AltBiomeWorldData.VerifyBiomeData (World world)
What this mod does
It replaces invalid characters with _ only when the game builds the local biome-data
cache file name on your PC. The world, the world name and your character are not changed.
- Install on every Windows client (Steam Deck / Proton users should install it too).
- Not required on the server.
- Remove it once Iron Gate fixes the bug.
Source code is included (WorldNamePathFix.cs).
