limiting the frame rate should stop it from overheating because it's not having to work as hard, so maybe limit it more.

Are you on a laptop?

Lol I have pretty decent rig (5700 XT) and no I'm not using a laptop.

This is not a graphically demanding game, I play literally dozens of different games many of which are more demanding than Valheim and none of them cause overheating or 100% gpu usage like this new update has. I've already attempted v-sync and then limiting fps to 60 but it still pins the gpu to 100%.

Mistlands update is broken. Guess I'll wait til they update/fix this
