Key notes
Vallheim is the hit survivalgametitle right now and everyone is playing it for its great gameplay and mechanics. And speaking of mechanics, the game’sfuelis to mix and match items from your inventory.
So, it’s not funny at all to work hard for chests and items only to find out later that they disappeared from your inventory.
One userexpressed his frustration on Redditfor losing his chests:
logged into valheim today to see that 4 of my chests full of important stuff just disappeared and don’t exist anymore? is this a bug that’s happening to other people too? seems pretty game breaking for chests to just despawn with everything in them?
Unfortunately, that’s not all because other users complained too about other missing items from their inventory or from the game so below, we are trying to give you some solutions for this annoying issue.
How can I get back my lost items from Valheim?
1. Restart the game
Some users also reported that they can’t see any structures in the game and a forced termination of the game can get that fixed.
2. Restore the game files
One of the problems that can cause this kind of issue is using third-party Valheim mods. They change some files that can get damaged. However, you can restore them with the easy solution above.
In the process, Steam will verify if there are any missing or damaged files and restore them. After the verification, start the game and see if the problem has been fixed.
