Essential improvements

Improve the performance in OpenGL mode on Linux for AMD/Intel

Use the mesa_glthread=true %command% command line argument[citation needed]
  • Running the game with mesa_glthread=true %command% on Steam greatly improves the performance when running on Linux with Mesa driver library for AMD/Intel GPUs in order to utilize multiple CPU cores. Not required in Mesa 21.1.

Improve performance

Edit boot.config file.[3]
  • Open boot.config with a text editor located in /steamapps/common/Valheim/Valheim_Data.
  • At the top of the file add:
    gfx-enable-gfx-jobs=1
    gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs=1
  • Save File.

Issues fixed

Game runs poorly on Vulkan in AMD on Linux

Force OpenGL mode

Run the game with -force-opengl or -force-glcore, additionally you can also run with mesa_glthread=true %command% -force-opengl (or -force-glcore) for a much better performance. Will be fixed in the upcoming Mesa 21.1[citation needed]
