Assuming that all directories match the default ones, you would take advantage of the
If you followed the documentation's default instructions that would be the path above, and the value would be: In theory (though I haven't tested it) you could rename this value to world1 or world2 before relaunching the server to switch between save files. If you try this, do let me know if it answers your question. I suggest taking plenty of backups of your world folders as a precaution before doing any actual testing with your saves! |

So I made a backup copy of _default.cfg , changed the values over to both common.cfg & vhserver.cfg one at a time with different server names slightly so i could tell the difference and changed the world the backup world. It changes every other setting servername, password, etc., but it opens vhworld every time. So I deleted the vhworld files and added my world, renamed the variable in the cfg and it still loads the vhworld. We have a plan B by chance lol? I am going to keep looking around the server. I'll keep you posted if I find anything and thank you for the help so far. EDIT 1: Removed extra Qquote text EDIT 2: Installed Valheim server just with steamcmd on centos and it still loads the first world. so I was curious if my backup was even right and when i put it in my game files on windows loads the proper world. now i am very confused XD. Below is the server details (while the server is off)

Hey! Apologies, I think I misread your initial question, that's 100% my fault. If it's your wish to restore the files from your world1 save, you should just need to plop them in:
This directory is hidden (as inferred by the leading full-stop in .config) so it's not terribly obvious. Let me know if this solves - all the other paths and variables can remain as default. |

Hey. No worries. I put the files in there. it still wasn't working. I found out the issue was actually in the _default.cfg that was downloaded. it needed quotes around every variable except for the port, then it worked like a charm. You're first post was technically correct XD. |
