With the addition of new features to the game, the update also caused some problems for the players.

According to a player, whenever he presses the play button on Steam, the play button turns to Stop and then goes back to Play. This means that the game isn’t starting when the Play button is pressed.
Well, it is rather unfortunate for a player to be facing such an annoying issue, but thankfully, there are some potential fixes that have been able to fix the problem for many players as well. If you wish to know more about the fixes for this issue, continue reading this article.
Valheim Hearth and Home update: Game not launching Fixed
So, after the update, if your game is failing to launch, try these potential fixes that might be able to get rid of the problem.
- The most common solution to any problem in a Steam game is to verify file integrity. To start the scan, follow these steps:
- Open Steam
- Click on the LIBRARY tab, then right-click on Valheim.
- Select Properties.
- Click on LOCAL FILES on the left of your screen, then click Verify integrity of game files.
Now check if the error persists. If it does, try the following:
- Reinstall the game and then check if the error still persists.
- Also, Go to AppData/LocalLow/IronGate and delete the IronGate folder. According to a player, this has worked for him, so we recommend trying this as well.
However, we think the game is causing issues due to the fact that there are mods installed that are not compatible with the current version of the game. So, if you are facing the launch error, try removing the mods from the BepInEx folder, and your game should be launching without any more errors.
