This documentation is based on Windows 10 and ReShade 4. 9. 1.

Step 1  - Download and Install ReShade Including Different Shaders

• []Download ReShade 4. 9. 1 from https://reshade.me.

  []Locate and select “valheim (valheim.exe)” – then click on “Use selected application”. If the game doesn’t appear in the “Select a game or application” list, you will have to browse and select the “valheim.exe” file manually - for Steam users it is located in “\steamapps\common\Valheim”.

  []For the rendering API select “Direct3D 10/11/12”.

  []Select “SweetFX by CeeJay.dk”, “AstrayFX by BlueSkyDefender” and “Insane-Shaders by Lord of Lunacy”. Click each checkbox until you see a square and not a check mark. Click “OK”. (“Standard effects” is mandatory and can’t be unselected.)

  []For "Select 'SweetFX' files to install" click "Uncheck all" - then select "ColorMatrix.fx" and "Levels.fx" and click "OK".

An option to update and an option to uninstall will pop up then.)
