Hello everyone. I'm currently at 206 hours in the game and at the silver age. I love the game, but having an average of 17 FPS (8~9 after the laptop heats) in the main base makes me want to avoid the main base at all costs, which I've worked hard on.
I'm on a gtx 1060 laptop and I'm aware of several options to increase the performance, this is what I've done:
Running the game with -no-stereo-rendering -console -screen-fullscreen -window-mode exclusive -force-vulkan
Setting the game to high priority
Cleaning the dust on the laptop
Replacing the thermal paste
Elevating the laptop
Yes, I'm running with the dedicated graphics card
Mod ValheimFPSBoost2, which turns off shadows
Setting all graphics to low or off
I'm aware the main issue is probably the terraforming I've done (Moat, flattening..) but at this point it just seems unfixable and I should quit on the base. I feel like the devs should make this a big priority, since the game has no issues on other areas (running at 50~60 fps easily).
