Attempts to remove the network congestion bug that was introduced with patch 0.146.11. This bug causes insane lag and for some bring down other websites or other network users.

The recent version of Valheim (0.146.11) reworked the networking,
but disabled an important method that prevents clogging your network with packets,
leading to massive lags and disconnects, as well as breaking other services like YouTube or Discord.
This mod attempts to fix this issue and reverts to the old networking method.
Please not that rubber banding and desyncs can still occur - this patch is only for removing the massive lags and breaking your network.
This is a client-side mod. Everyone needs to install this (the server probably does not need the mod).
The mod is open source and available on GitHub
Technical info: Why?
So, what's going on with the game currently? Imagine you want to send 100 paper clips. Now what's easier for you and the postage service? Sending them in one box or sending 100 small boxes?
With the latest patch, the game chooses the last option. It will send out any information (position, health, ...) over the network immediately. Before, there was some feature active that packages so many small messages into a larger one, so your network actually has a chance of processing them in time. How it's currently done, some network devices will completely overload or trigger a protection that prevents any more messages from being sent. This explains the massive lags and why some even have other services like Discord failing.
This mod re-enables the packaging into larger packets, which might help you with your issues.
I recommend to join the Valheim Discord bugs discussion channel to discuss more about network issues.
