  "account": "Valheim players have long struggled with the lack of a single-tap dodge key, but recent dev attention has granted them the ability to remap the dodge function. In a five-year span of early access, the community repeatedly requested this feature, and finally, the developers have taken note. Now, players can remap their dodge key to a more convenient single-tap configuration, whether on keyboard or controller. In addition to this keybinding update, the developers have also added options to rebind items on the radial wheel and hotbar, as well as disable the intro cinematic. Several bug fixes have been implemented, including correcting mislabeled cheats, improving GPU performance, and fixing issues with the grappling hook's secondary attack. The patch should take a few days to roll out to all platforms, but PC players can already enjoy the changes.",
