How to Fix Valheim Crashing on World Load
Apply the following fixes.
Uninstall Mods From Valheim Installation Folder
As already explained outdated mods can cause several issues. One of which is the mid-game or startup crashing. So you need to uninstall/delete mods completely.
Go to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim in my case it’s C drive. Confirm that there are no additional files present there, other than these.
After deleting mods restart your PC and then play the game. If the problem persists then here are some additional fixes that can help you solve Valheim crashing.
Possible Solutions to the Valheim Crashing With World Load Error
Sometimes the game file gets corrupted so you need to verify the integrity of the game files via Steam. This process will scan the whole game folder and if found a file missing will replace it with the right one.
The Valheim Crashing can also be caused due to insufficient RAM so you should Set Priority to High via Task Manager. You can also try running the game with administrator access and in a Window mode.
Also, make sure that you have updated graphics drivers on your PC. If you are using an Nvidia card, then install Studio graphic drivers (SD), and not Game ready drivers (GRD). Be sure to select the correct card, OS, etc.
Last but not least close unnecessary background apps and disable antivirus software/ Windows Defender temporarily.
