Skip Menu

Skip character, world, or server selection automatically on game start. Configure via config file or use command line flags.

Enable strict mode to enforce your selections always.

Configuration

General

• StartCharacter / {-character|-char}

  Character to select on start.

• StartWorld / -world

  World to choose on start (ignored if server is set!)

• StartServer / -server

  Server to choose on start (overrides StartWorld)

• StartServerPass / {-password|-pass}

  Password for server

Modes

• StrictMode / -strict

  Enforce Start* selections anytime the game would enter the start menu. If loading character or world fails and DefaultsOk is false, exits the game.

• DefaultsOk / -defaults

  Select default character or world if they are not specified or could not be loaded.

Basic usage (commandline)

valheim.exe -char Sigurd -world Valhalla

valheim.exe -char Sigurd -server valheim.someserver.com:2975 -password tovictory

valheim.exe -defaults

Usage details (commandline)

valheim.exe [-strict] [-defaults] [{-character|-char} CharName] [-world WorldName] [-server ServerHostOrIP[:ServerPort] [{-password|-pass} ServerPassword]]

Commandline options supercede config file options.

See above for details on each option.

Any selections will only be automated on first start unless strict mode is enabled.

If any argument contains any whitespace, the argument must be quoted following your shell's quoting rules.

Character and world names are case-insensitive on Windows.

Installation (manual)

Do not extract into the game folder.

Drop the .dll into <GameDirectory>\BepInEx\plugins.
