Launch options
When you starup/launch Valheim and it opens up a window about launching the game as default or using vulkan, what option do you prefer? I don't know anything about Vulkan other than it's meant to be a better DirectX?

Vulkan itself is technically superior, however Valheim is a DX11 game and any other one used is using analogue features - vulkan can't shine if it's advanced features aren't utilised. Same if you have DX12 hardware & software - doesn't matter, it's a DX11 game.
So, there should be no difference. However hardware/driver differences may see one outperform the other.
Personally I find vulkan chokes less on snow & portal lighting - especially the combination of the two. Win10, i5-12500 & 3070ti, so not gold plated but no slouch.

similar
vulkan runs better on older/weaker hardware
dx runs better on newer stronger hardware
if it does not run well with dx, use vulkan
steam -> library -> select game -> properties -> launch options
pick play or vulkan, not ask
