Anyone else getting bad performance? (LOW FPS on decent builds)

[Alannotini]

I thought I could easily run Valheim with my RTX 3080 FE and AMD ryzen 5 x3600. Something my fps in my base is 12fps. Really? that is so bad. I have tried everything to iincrease my fps but nothing work. Im just thinking stop play this game, because I feel like in 1999.

Yeah, pretty much. I've taken to playing Valheim exclusively on GeForce's service until optimization happens closer to official launch. Normally I'd just turn down all the things but the atmosphere really loses out without all the lighting and details.

yeah using a 3090 and 5900x and get less than 40fps sometimes in base, i am using a high res but still. Get around 80-90 when in my quarry in the mountains so i think it must be related to buildings rather than just terraforming.

[Mharr]

Base building absolutely wrecks performance, which is a bit of an issue because the building engine is absolutely critical to the game.

Same here, tried all of the options and solutions people have posted online to no avail. The framerate does get a lot better when outside of the bases I think it is because of the AMD/Nvidia difference. My friend runs Nvidia and is getting 80-100 FPS, while the main people I see complaining are using AMD hardware, so it is possible there isnt anything we can do until the game is updated to work better with other types of hardware and graphics processing. Any solutions someone has though would be appreciated.

Found this on another thread some where. Go to properties and under launch options type the following -window-mode exclusive -screen-fullscreen then run using first option NOT vulcan. Hope this helps

There are a lot of lags on the base, where are the buildings, when will the developers release the fix?

[MilfHunter/Banger]

FPS still bad after all tricks to push it up. Me and my friend has stop playing until the developers polish this mess. The same problem is in 7 Days to Die -.-
2021 and such wreck performance games

[Landorf]

That's the greatest issue in game atm (i mean "home" FPS), we can only hope devs will fix it somehow. Couldnt say it killed the game for me since i didnt terraform much.

There are a couple of fixes to try;

- Turn off v-sync, it is bugged and causes problems

- Steam launch options for Valheim to force fullscreen nets some good FPS returns;
''-window-mode exclusive -screen-fullscreen''

-Find your Valheim directory, find Valheim_Data, then open the 'boot' file with notepad. copy and paste these lines of code to the very first line of this file;

gfx-enable-gfx-jobs=1
gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs=1

Make a backup of this file just in case

These tips should give you a sizeable boost in performance hopefully

My home base is in the 7000's of instances running around 110 fps with all graphic settings maxed. ( I have an above ave computer that handles the game well ) I built a storage box wall with 24 storage boxes ( 8 x 3 stacked ) It tanked my fps to low 50's whenever I turn towards it. Not complaining, just mentioning it for lower end systems.

[MilfHunter/Banger]

The problem is only in the base. i thought the torches make these fps drops but now i believe its the entire base....maybe the statics of the buildings?!?!

I have recognized, that the game ( after 500+ ingame days) have a problem with a big base:
We have on our server a realistic "longhouse viking" with around 400 elements , a forge with all things and windmill, around 10 individual houses from each player, gardens etc.
Also a lot of light builbs. And at least each house have terraforming effects.
I guess its the loading of the near invironment (chunks seems not optimized) and not only the client computer performance.
I play on maximum visual effects ( e.g. I can see my arrow also on very far away enemies landing.
Its the same problem like in minecraft, the chunks should be more smooth on load/unload.

And just setting down the options, I agree, is not the best solution, because the game live with the beaty shader/lights.

Most of the options have no/minimal fps impact. i have turn all off and there was only a little fps impact.
I hope we can disable wavering grass and tree. this consume also much fps. in monster hunter world i must disable this too.

I know the OP is just looking for some help or answers, but how many times do we have to see these posts, people? Please, please use the search feature first, then post if you don't find what you need. This has got to be at least the 100th post about the exact same thing.

There are dozens of tweaks and suggestions to improve performance on the forums. Seek and ye shall find, i.e. use the search feature...

Oh, and as as many of us have to keep repeating the game is in early access. It's unfinished and not optimized yet. Performance will be hit and miss until they're further along in the development cycle and start working on optimizing things.

Fortunately for me, no.

I have a Lenovo Legion 5P.

Laptop RTX 2060 (desktop 1060 equivalent or there abouts) and Ryzen 4800H. On max I get 45-75fps, on a mix of high & medium with effects on I get 65-100fps, both at 1080p).

What are your settings? Remember, this game is in its very very early stages and Nvidia will likely have some drivers in the works.

Another thing, this game really ought to be on an SSD.
