For those of the players of Valheim that they tried todor to increase your fps in game without success. This guide will provide you a solution to the low fps issue, let's take a look

Low FPS on Valheim

Enables the overlay of Steam or any other fps capture software to determine and establish a baseline fps before moving on to corrections.
You can use the main menu screen to record your fps, but I recommend trying in a densely populated world.  

Once you know your baseline fps, have a fps counter enabled, and have turned on full screen mode in game settings, you're good to go.

 
 

Exclusive full screen mode

Full screen mode Valheim it works essentially as a full screen mode with borderless windows rather than a "true" full screen mode. This can cause a significant performance loss on some systems.  

Enable full screen exclusive mode

  1. Right click on Valheim and left click on Properties.

  2. Under Launch Options, type this command:
    -window-mode exclusive

Now start the game and check if your fps has improved. The game should be using "true" full screen mode. For some people, this is todor what they need to enable the solution. This solution didn't work for me for example. If nothing changes, continue with the next steps.

  1. Right click on Valheim and left click on Properties.

  2. In Startup Options, add a space after the above command and then type this:
    -screen-fullscreen

Now start the game and see if your fps have improved. The game should be using "true" full screen mode. But even this, although for some people it would already work, for me this solution did not work. If nothing changes, follow the steps below.

  1. Launch the game with the two startup options mentioned above enabled.
    Note: The game should start in full screen mode with borderless windows and no fps enhancements.
  2. Once on the main menu screen, press Alt + Enter.
    Note: This should put the game in a windowed state.
  3. Press Alt + Enter again.
    Note: This should bring the game out of its windowed state into a truly unique full-screen mode.

The game should now use the exclusive full screen mode. Only after I did these steps it worked for my setup. If you change the screen resolution in the game or alt tab, the solution may be lost and you will have to do it todor again. If you exit the game and restart, you should enter full screen mode, but you may have to redo the steps each time you start the game.
Note: These steps should work with other Unity games that have the same full screen problem.

 
 

Level of detail

You can adjust the level of details of the game with these steps to improve performance. 

  1. Press F5 once you've loaded a game or at the main menu.
  2. Type lodbias # and hit enter.
    Note: Replace # with a number. The Julior the number, the Julior the level of detail. The default logbias are 2.

Note that a lower level of detail will reduce the distance at which objects are rendered, increasing your chances of wasting resources for progression, however the fps gains are impressive on some systems. You can also type help for other useful commands.
