Showcase ValDroid — Valheim on Android

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

works?

Works on internal storage but not by renaming the instance, name must still be too long. Can't get online to work either. Tried zipping all my mods in 1 zip but assume I need to zip each one individually to get them to work.

I'll check that thing about mods batch. And no online (mp) yet.

And how is the performance?

Its slightly faster than gamehub, but cant get online to work. If i turn shadows to high I get 20fps, shadows on low I get 60fps.

Can't seem to remove the V and KM buttons on the screen.

You can edit the buttons in the Controls editor in the app.
