ValheimPerformanceOptimizations

Rendering, logic, and loading time optimizations for both client and server versions of Valheim.

Changes in 0.4.2

• Fixed incompatibility with EpicLoot

New in 0.4.0

• Threaded terrain collision generation decreases stutters when loading chunks
• Smoke rendering performance improvements

Stats

• 5-10 ms faster GPU render times in bases (3 fps without the mod -> 15 fps with)
• General game stability improvements - less stutters in bases
• 20+ seconds faster world loading times, especially for big worlds (excluding the first launch)
• General game logic performance improvements (no concrete data on framerates)

Development Setup

Create a file called Environment.props inside the project base and change the Valheim install path to your location.
