Okay thank you, we'll try that.

Just wondering, did culling the herds help at all for you? If so, about how large was your herd/coop, and how many did you murder?

Sorry for very late reply. but a dozen i would say. but it didn't improve my FPS.

There is a settings/file tweak that seemed to help my low FPS in the bad areas a bit. My AMD 5700XT got about a 30-50% framerate boost with this fix:

Right click Valheim in Steam library, click 'Manage' and 'Browse local files.'
Open the valheim_Data folder.
Right click 'boot.config' and [edit] with Notepad / Notepad++.
Add "gfx-enable-gfx-jobs=1" as a new line to the very top.
Add "gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs=1" right below the first line.
Save and close the file.

Wow, and wowsie - that worked well for my PC. Got a nice framerate boost, maybe even in the ballpark that you mentioned (subjective). I've got an AMD Radeon 6700XT.

Would you know if choosing Vulcan or DX would be meaningful when you add this config ?

Thanx great bigly :-D

When it got too laggy for me, I cleared everything out except for two "breeders." Can't say how much you'll really need, though. I'd say clear out half of what you got, leave the area and then come back, see if that clears it up enough. If not, maybe cull a few more.

Okay thank you, we'll try that.

Low FPS is often caused by too many instances (building a base, terraforming/etc) and the meadows is often where players choose to build. It sounds like you are experiencing what many already have.

This is likely your primary issue.
