📋 About This Mod
Original mod created by castix, but modified to only disable shadows.
ValheimFPSBoost2 is a fork of castix's original FPS boost mod, modified to only disable shadows. It aims to improve performance by removing shadow rendering, which can be a significant FPS drain. With 323 endorsements and over 11,000 downloads, it has a modest following. Last updated in April 2021, it may not be compatible with the latest Valheim versions.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and effective: turning off shadows can give a solid FPS bump on lower-end rigs
- Community-tested with 323 endorsements and over 11k downloads
- Lightweight and focused—does one thing and does it well
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in April 2021—likely broken with current Valheim patches
- Disabling shadows makes the game look flat and can hide enemy movements in dark areas
For Valheim players on older hardware who need a quick FPS boost and don't mind losing shadows. Skip if you're on a modern rig or want visual fidelity—this is purely a performance trade-off.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod is from 2021, check if it works with your Valheim version—if not, look for updated alternatives like 'Valheim FPS Boost' or 'Shadow Remover'.
- If you're using a mod manager like BepInEx, make sure to place the DLL in the correct plugins folder.
- Test the mod in a grassy area with lots of trees to see the FPS difference before committing.
