TIL: "Initial Thoughts" + "Editorial" == ad

I've got 250 hours into this game and I'm basically at the point where the only thing left to do is explore, farm, and build. This is easily my favorite game from the last few years and it's not even close.

That being said I'm a little sad to see that a new world may be required for new content [External Link] but then again it's an early access game and characters transfer between worlds easy enough. I'm going to be sad if I have to leave my rather elaborate plains farming complex behind but I'm sure whatever new content this game has to offer will be worth it.

As noted by Phoronix, Mesa was just patched enabling OpenGL threading for Valheim [External Link].

Forcing it with the mesa_glthread=true launch argument further improved performance. I've yet to see a dip below 70 FPS in the swamp (dips below 60 previously) while performance elsewhere hovers between 90-130 fps. It's completely resolved the occasional hitching I'd experience.

My steam launch options are now:

 
gamemoderun mesa_glthread=true %command%

Quoting: robvvNot to be pedantic but Coffee Stain Studios developed Goat Simulator, and Coffee Stain Publishing published Goat Simulator ;-)

Touché, but Coffee Stain Publishing didn't exist until three years AFTER goat simulators release.

So Coffee Stain both developed AND published Goat Simulator. Better? Better. :tongue:

Quoting: robvvReminds me of something you would see in Goat Simulator, which Coffee Stain also published :-)

Not to be pedantic but Coffee Stain developed Goat Simulator.

I've seen so many people praising Coffee Stain for Valheim and I'm happy to see there's usually someone in the comments correcting them. Iron Gate deserves to be known for their work.

I love this game so much that I've started writing a syslog parser/server watchdog/Discord notifier for the server that I run so I can track player's playtime as well as maintain a list of known players (Game uses SteamID64 internally). The "random events" in the game are logged too but without any sort of discernible location information I'm not sure how much use that is yet.

The watchdog is able to detect a version mismatch and trigger a restart of the systemd unit I wrote which updates the server. I really wish I could "talk" in game from the server side (like Minecraft can) to alert any online players of pending maintenance but for now Discord will have to do.

I'll post it on github once complete if anyone is interested.

I posted this yesterday in a comment but adding the following to boot.config within valheim_Data nearly doubled my FPS in some spots. Youtube Video demonstration [External Link].

 
gfx-enable-gfx-jobs=1
gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs=1

Adding the following to the boot.config file within the valheim_Data folder results in the following performance uplift. OpenGL still performs better than vulkan for me.

gfx-enable-gfx-jobs=1
gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs=1

2560x1440, Maxed out graphics minus Depth of field, chromatic aberration, and motion blur.

Completely reasonable. Once all 9 bosses (currently 5) are in the game + even half of the early access roadmap is implemented this game is going to worth so much more than $20.

The latest update today seems to have fixed my vulkan performance, though more testing is needed. Here's the relevant bit from the changelog [External Link]:

* Dedicated server CPU usage fix (Framerate limiter)
