v1.3.6 — Skadi flight overhaul

kanym
Races of Valheim developer

The dragon forms fly properly now. Skadi's flight was rebuilt from a free-camera noclip into real aimed flight, timed forms finally expire on their own, and a severe multiplayer bug that stacked thousands of dragon models on other players' clients is gone.

Skadi​

  • Flight overhaul. Your dragon form now flies wherever you aim, pitch included, instead of the old free-camera noclip that needed Space and Ctrl to change altitude. Hold W to power forward and climb; let go and you hold level for a couple of seconds before settling into a natural glide.
  • Dragon forms now turn to face the direction they are actually flying, and touching down mid-flight no longer leaves you sliding forward forever.
  • Timed forms finally expire on their own. Moder Form now honours its duration, and the cooldown that could never trigger before now works. Both the remaining seconds and the cooldown appear as a Moder trophy icon with a live countdown beside the minimap.
  • Fixed Freezing to Cold (Bonemass tier), which never did anything at all — Skadi's own frost resistance made Valheim skip the cold check entirely. Mountains now correctly leave you with Cold instead of Freezing.
  • The Cold Spell is now cast from chest height with a proper spellcasting gesture, instead of a kick aimed at the ground.
  • Drake Form attacks unlock the moment you reach the Bonemass tier, rather than only after transforming again.
  • resetrace now clears Skadi's aura and its frost bonuses when switching away from the race.

Multiplayer​

  • Fixed a severe bug where other players saw a transformed Skadi's dragon model respawn every single frame, stacking thousands of copies and causing lag that only got worse and never cleared on its own. The transformed player saw nothing wrong on their own screen.

General​

  • Race abilities no longer fire while the map, inventory, a chest, the chat or a menu is open, so clicking an item inside a container no longer swings your transformed attack.

Documentation​

  • The Skadi progression list now states the keybind for each form, along with the flight controls.
