The easiest way to improve performance and increase FPS in Valheim

 

Of course, Valheim performs much better technically than the lion's share of other survival games that are in Early Access on Steam. Although this does not mean that the game is perfectly polished technically. Since it is quite difficult for many players to get a stable and sustained 60 FPS.

Fortunately, one of the users on Reddit has already studied the game enough in order to invent his own method that helps those who are wondering: how to increase FPS in Valheim? And initially it may seem that this method is complete nonsense. However, it does work. Moreover, many users have already thanked him for this and noted thatframe rates go up to 50% on some systems !

In addition, the instruction itself is as simple as possible . It is suitable even for those who are rather poorly versed in the computer. Therefore, if you find yourself in the circle of those "lucky ones" who suffer from a drop in frame rate, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the instructions below.

How to increase the frame rate in Valheim?

• Open Steam  go to the "Library"  push PKM on the game  select the "Management" option and then click on the item that says "View local files".

• As soon as the window where the game files are stored opens, you need to find a folder called valheim_Data and open it.

• Next, inside this folder, you need to find a file called boot.config and open it with notepad.

• In the opened document, you need to add two parameters presented below . Please note that both parameters must be written at the beginning of the document . And in the order in which they are presented here. Also, be sure to save your changes at the end.

gfx-enable-gfx-jobs = 1

gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs = 1

• After the done steps return to the Steam library ➝ click PKM on the game ➝ open Properties and under Startup Options add the following command:

-windows-mode exclusive

• And to complete the actions taken, open the "Task Manager" using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Delete ➝ find a game ➝ click on it PKM and go to the details.

• Now all that remains is to find the executive process valheim.exe ➝ click on it PKM ➝ select "Set priority" ➝ change it to the one where it says "High" ➝ and at the end check the game after the done actions.

The only problem with this method is that it has two drawbacks. Firstly, some actions will have to be done every time you are going to start the game. Specifically, this applies to the part in which we are talking about the task manager. That is, the game will have to set the "High" priority every time.

Secondly, some users complain that after the changes in the option file, strange problems related to lighting and graphics in the game begin to appear. However, in this case, you should not swear or be afraid, because this is completely normal and the infection should be "cured" by removing the gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs = 1 parameter from the same boot.config file .

Finally, we note that this method is not 100% effective, but many users respond positively to it. Therefore, we hope that thanks to this material, it will be possible to save at least a certain number of players from the excruciating suffering.
