Snowstorm in mountain biome costs 60 fps

I was venturing in the mountains, mining some silver. A snow storm hit. I went from 80 fps to 20 fps. Nearly got me killed. TP-ed back to my main base after banking the silver at my mountain hideout. my main base ran at 6 fps. This is a new record. Feels like the snow storm genuinely broke my game. Normally my base runs around 70 fps...

Anyone else having insane fps drops during (and eventually after) snowstorms?

Not here. What card are you using, it may help them diagnose?

playing on 2k res. 1660TI, ryzen 3900X.
Not sure if it was a fluke but Cyberpunk runs better than Valheim in a snowstorm. Fixed when I restarted the games. Will avoid snow storms i guess...

Funny how "very cheap budget PC" can easily mean you didn't pay for it, or it was just average priced and you are rich, or you are just lying, or all of the above. Your definition of budget is strange. I'm assuming you are one of those people that knows a guy that knows a guy that's on the inside floor of the cutting edge video card hardware tech and he will slip the latest video card just for you.

Yeah the snowstorms still suck, the hottub steam drops my FPS too. game runs fine otherwise.

I had a similar thing one time. It tanked my fps (RTX2060) after teleporting. Had to restart the game. You could try fiddling with graphical settings and see what affects the mountain blizzard!

I absolutely get a sizable drop in snowstorms. Much more than any other weather effect.

Normally, my rig (RTX 2060 6GB, i5-11400F, 16GB RAM, dedicated game SSD) gets 80-100 FPS everywhere else in the game -- EXCEPT the Mountain biomes, specifically during snowstorms. It's a hard 20-30 FPS then.

I tried messing with every setting over the course of several hours yesterday, matter of fact, trying to figure out what (if anything) could be done to maybe sniff out what's happening there. None of the settings really seemed to have an effect other than general speed-up. I would still be looking at roughly the same percentage of lost FPS. (It'd get up to about 110-120 max with settings dropped to "where we're going we neither need nor want eyes" but drop back down to the 30-50 FPS neighborhood during the snowstorms.)

~70% performance reduction is a very steep dropoff. I can live with it, but my friends refuse to play with me when I build Mountain bases (which are, of course, the best places to build for raids).

Now to build a hot tub and test what happens with the steam...

I think it has to do with the the particles in the snowstorm. Their coding could be better.

^ This.
I also took the liberty to mess around with graphical settings when I encountered another snowstorm. None of the settings had any effect unfortunately. Pretty sure the snowstorm isn't working as intended right now. Right now I have to skip anything that induces the snowstorm weather effect as it makes the game unplayable for me.

I also like to add that I sort of recreated the 6 / 4 fps dip after using a teleporter while the weather is changing from snowstorm to in this case meadow weather. If I would run down from my mountain during a snowstorm, get in my TP outpost and TP to my base while the weather is transitioning it results in 4 to 6 fps here until I reboot the game.

How is this even possible on a game that looks like minecraft. Any tech savy people out there can answer?

Not that tech savy, but I can answer this, Minecraft and Valheim look nothing alike.

Is your windows or OS up to date with all patches?
Is your video card up to date with all patches?

Lastly, Minecraft & Valheim are nothing alike.

this is old but are people really surprised? The amount of particles the game throws at you in a snowstorm is insane. I can actually bring my 3080, 5800x3D with 32gb 3600 CL16 rig to its knees at 3440x1440p in a snowstorm at my mountain base. It will run 130+ in my base but as soon as the storm starts, and I look towards my base with the fires active... I get a whopping... 29fps... Yes 29. The games just not very well optimised as well.
