[BUG] Valheim Server on Debian 11

[PhilPhonic]

User Story

As a server admin, I want the vhserver not to crash while starting so that users can play.

Basic info

• Distro: [Debian 11.1]
• Game: [Valheim]
• Command: [start]
• LinuxGSM version: [v21.4.1]

Further Information

When I start the server, it immediately crashes.
What I found out:
If I start the server from /home/valheim/ (where vhserver is located) using this command (taken from ./vhserver details): ./serverfiles/valheim_server.x86_64 -name 'Valheim Server' -password -port 2456 -world vhserver -public 1 -savedir '/home/valheim/.config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim' the server also immediately crashes.
If I change directory to serverfiles and start the server after that by using ./valheim_server.x86_64 -name 'Valheim Server' -password -port 2456 -world vhserver -public 1 -savedir '/home/valheim/.config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim' it works just fine.

Just ignore this. Seems I was a little tired trying this out.

I have exactly the same behavior. How did you fix the problem?

I had no password / a too short password set. Dunno which it was, but you have to set a password of min. 5 characters length.

Thank you! That solved the problem. My password had only 4 characters.
