Valheim: FPS Boost to Low-setup PC

Let’s start from the very beginning about the qualitative changes in the game.
You can also lower the Resolution (well, this is the last resort)

Go to the game folder

1. To do this, right-click the game.
2. We aim at the “Manage”
3. And click on “Browse local files”

---

Then we go to “valheim_Data”.

---

And find a file called “boot.config” and open it through notepad.

---

Add two lines strictly at the top of the list:
“gfx-enable-gfx-jobs = 1
gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs = 1 ”

---

Then we save and exit.

We go into the launch options, for this:

1. Right click on the game
2. Go to “Properties…”

---

In the “General” tab, in the “Launch options” line, write:
“-window-mode exclusive” (with a space) and “-force-vulcan”

For this:

1. Right click on the game
2. Go to “Properties…”

---

Further, in the “General” section, uncheck the “Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game”

1. In the game itself, open the console by pressing the “F5” key
2. We write “lodbias 1” and press Enter (default 2) (you can still set 0.5 if everything is bad with FPS)
