Please optimise this little beauty.....

[Zorphan]

Im running a i7 4710HQ 2.5GHz , GTX 860 , 16GB Ram and unfortunately i cant get the game to run smoothly at all, even if i drop all the settings down to low and turn all settings of in the Graphics Tab of the game. I understand its early access and i understand its only been out for a few weeks .... But please... Optimise the game.

Thanks

Do you really tho? Optimization is always the final stage of any early access development process because it makes no sense to optimize a game until all the assets and systems that will be in a game are in the game.

Otherwise it would be a constant round of add-optimize-add-optimize-add-optimize which would stretch the development process out a lot longer.

like i said..... I understand its early access and i understand its only been out for a few weeks.

That's pretty much par for steam discussions.

Honestly its time to upgrade, I just recently built a new system running a RTX 3080 coming from a 4790k running a GTX 970. I could surely run it on that, but I wouldn't expect 10 year + old technology to run a game this demanding.

I can hit 60 fps just fine on my i5 3570k and rx580.

Be hopeful you are not one of the few who are having FPS issues no matter what they do. I am rocking an i5-10600k with a 2070S, blah blah VR computer, and I can barely get above 35 FPS in my 2 house base.

*Yes I have already tried all the things posted in all the threads, I am just SoL until they fix it.*

the recommended system requirements seem a lot lower than they should be, so i do get people with lower end systems complaining about its performance. (not high end systems though xD)

Totally agree... just not easy finding the money lol

that had crossed my mind as well when i saw the recommended system requirements but after reading and watching all the high praise reviews ... i had to get and add my support

970 here running the game at 55-60 fps on med-high.

Its more important to know how to tweak the game by yourself, than just slap a high end gpu with 0 knowledge.

Thats how many series 30 users got a performance like mine, with things like fast vsync instead of ingame one, or editing that unity .ini to get the game utilize more cpu and gpu.

Just a general PSA, hehe

Ps: oh, after q search, looks like a 860m (no desktop version for this) is weaker than a 750ti, so here theres truly a hardware issue :P

yeah often times its as simple as changing the type of vsync used. this is one of those rare few games who snaps to 30fps the second FPS drops from 60 to 59, so i had to solve that with Fast vsync and a 60 fps cap from the nvidia control panel
im gonna test the config tweak tonight

True, I also capped my fps, but to 61 for some technical reason I didnt fully understand but sounded convincing xD.

The file edit works wonders, but since it increases gpu use, temps get higher, but not too bad in my case.

Also the final tweak I recall to be using is the steam launch command to force true/exclusive full screen.

Now playing with high settings (except shadows) most of the time with solid 60 fps and almost no stutters at all...and "just" with a 970.

Fire / torches do still take a big performance and temp hit though.

When I first ran the game, without those tweaks, it ran and looked so bad I almost refund, lol.

oh good idea, can u post the line for running it at true fullscreen? im still old fashioned and want everything to run in that mode lol


edit: the config tweak someone posted is adding:

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

to the top of \steamapps\common\Valheim\valheim_Data\boot.config
