About this mod
This mod allows the player to change the quality settings Valheim doesn't give you access to. The configuration uses BepInEx's builtin config-system. This allows a configuration even while the game is running.

The default configutation of this mod uses settings to maximize the game's framerate. Especially in regions where multible shadow-casting lightsources like bonfires and portals are present, this mod can make the diffrerence between slideshow and playable framerate.

Installation (manual)
1. Extract the archive into a folder. Do not extract into the game folder.
2. Move the contents of plugins folder into <GameDirectory>\BepInEx\plugins.
3. Run the game.
Configuration
To configute this mod you can use the config file <GameDirectory>\BepInEx\config\KillerGoldFisch.ValheimFPSPlus.cfg (The config file gets created during the first start of the game with the mod installed).
Or you can use BepInEx's ConfigurationManager for the configutation in-game :
Settings
NoSnowstorms
Replaces the resource-hungry snowstorm with normal snow
Valheim Default
Recommended
AnisotropicFiltering
Anisotropic filtering mode.
Disable | Disable anisotropic filtering for all textures.
Enable | Enable anisotropic filtering, as set for each texture.
ForceEnable | Enable anisotropic filtering for all textures.
Valheim Default
Recommended
LodBias
Global multiplier for the LOD's switching distance.
A larger value leads to a longer view distance before a lower resolution LOD is picked.
Valheim Default
Recommended
MasterTextureLimit
Setting this to one uses the first mipmap of each texture (so all textures are half size), setting this to two uses the second mipmap of each texture (so all textures are quarter size), etc.. This can be used to decrease video memory requirements on low-end computers. The default value is zero.
0 => no limit
Valheim Default
Recommended
MaximumLODLevel
A maximum LOD level. All LOD groups.
0 => no maximum

MaxQueuedFrames
Maximum number of frames queued up by graphics driver.
Graphics drivers can queue up frames to be rendered. When CPU has much less work to do than the graphics card, is it possible for this queue to become quite large. In those cases, user's input will "lag behind" what is on the screen.
Use QualitySettings.maxQueuedFrames to limit maximum number of frames that are queued. On PC, the default value is 2, which strikes the best balance between frame latency and framerate.
Note that you can reduce input latency by using a smaller maxQueuedFrames because the CPU will be waiting until the graphics card finishes rendering previous frames. The downside of this however, is that it can result in a lower framerate.

ParticleRaycastBudget
Budget for how many ray casts can be performed per frame for approximate collision testing.
Valheim Default
Recommended
PixelLightCount
The maximum number of pixel lights that should affect any object.
If there are more lights illuminating an object, the dimmest ones will be rendered as vertex lights.
Valheim Default
Recommended
RealtimeReflectionProbes
Enables realtime reflection probes.
Valheim Default
Recommended
ShadowCascades
Number of cascades to use for directional light shadows.
Valheim Default
Recommended
ShadowDistance
Shadow drawing distance.
Valheim Default
Recommended
Shadows
Determines which type of shadows should be used.
The available options are Hard and Soft Shadows, Hard Shadows Only and Disable Shadows.
Disable | Disable Shadows.
HardOnly | Hard Shadows Only.
All | Hard and Soft Shadows.
Valheim Default
Recommended
SkinWeights
The maximum number of bones per vertex that are taken into account during skinning, for all meshes in the project.
The value can be either One Bone, Two Bones, Four Bones or Auto. Note that higher bone counts may have a performance cost, especially above 4 bones per vertex.
OneBon | One bone affects each vertex.
TwoBones | Two bones affect each vertex.
FourBones | Four bones affect each vertex.
Unlimited | An unlimited number of bones affect each vertex.
Valheim Default
Recommended
SoftParticles
Should soft blending be used for particles?
Valheim Default
Recommended
SoftVegetation
Use a two-pass shader for the vegetation in the terrain engine.
If enabled, vegetation will have smoothed edges, if disabled all plants will have hard edges but are rendered roughly twice as fast.
