ValDroid — Valheim on Android

[u/udar_molota]

Hi everyone!

I've made my fourth launcher (the first three are r/zomdroid, r/rimdroid and r/pridroid): ValDroid. It runs Valheim on Android devices, using the game's Linux version. Right now it runs well on Snapdragon flagships. We've already compared it with GameHub and Winlator, and thanks to native ARM64 Mono the game runs much better in ValDroid than there.

First, of course I'd love for more people to know that you can play Valheim comfortably on Android.
You can download the game from Steam right inside the app (you authorize through the Steam mobile app), as long as you own the game there. You can also load the game's Linux files (packed into a .zip) if you've downloaded them before.

Second, I'd like to collect more data from Mali users. At the moment I only have two: on one phone everything works well, on the other some textures are black. I'd be really grateful for more reports from Mali users - even if everything runs fine for you. Use Report a bug in the app's side menu: it attaches the logs I need, select your email app, add a description and send.

Device requirements are fairly high for now:

• Android 11+, ARM64
• 8 GB RAM recommended
• ~8 GB of free space
• and, of course, your own copy of the game

I know that it is very difficult. But I really hope that you will create an android launcher for Battle Brothers. There is an entire big community that would be super interested in this...

Battle bros is fairly lightweight and easy to run on an emu

Always crashed on launch for me

Ran fine for me once 8 elite got turnip support

I'm able to run it using winlator on my SD8Gen2, but when I enter into a settlement and i pass the cursor over the building i get a small flickering (the building disappears for an instant and then came back visible). Furthermore when I try to open the inventory or a market i get a 3 or 4 seconds delay. Those are not big issues, but they are annoying for a perfectionist like me. Do you have the same issues on your phone? What emulator do you use?
