About this mod Author’s original text
Valheim PingHud
Shows the current server's latency and packet loss on the HUD.
Features
- Ping and packet loss, colour-coded green / yellow / red against thresholds you set
- Optional extra rows: jitter, connection quality, and up/down bandwidth
- Sits below the minimap and moves itself aside if another HUD panel is already there, so it
never covers anything
- Position: below or above the minimap, or any of the four screen corners
- Appearance: size, font, font size and colour, text outline, background
- Language: English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese; any other game language falls
back to English
- F8 toggles the panel
- Hides itself in single player and whenever the HUD is hidden
One thing to know about packet loss
Valheim only reports real latency and loss on Steam P2P connections - join by Steam friend
invite or the server browser, with Crossplay off.
On Crossplay and direct IP / LAN connections the game itself provides no loss figure, so the
panel shows N/A instead of inventing one. N/A means "this connection type does not provide it";
-- means "no reading yet".
When you are hosting, the figure is the average across all connected players.
Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
