This mod requires the following mods to function
denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim
BepInEx pack for Valheim. Preconfigured with the correct entry point for mods and preferred defaults for the community.
Preferred version: 5.4.2351README
FastLoading
FastLoading speeds up Valheim portal travel and dungeon entrances. Between two heavily built bases a portal trip went from 7-15 seconds to 2.5-4 on a large single-player world. The game's own area and floor checks are kept.
What it does
- Prepares the destination's terrain as you walk up to a portal, and puts it at the front of the game's terrain queue during the transition.
- Creates the destination's zones and objects faster while the loading screen is up, starting with what the arrival actually waits for; distant trees and bushes fill in over the first seconds after you arrive.
- Removes fixed minimum waits (the 8-second floor on portal travel, 2 seconds between teleports becomes 0.5).
- Keeps you safe on arrival: waits for a floor under a built destination and lifts you out if raised ground loads after you.
- Optional: a short fade to black into and out of dungeons (
Dungeon fade, off by default). - Multiplayer: with FastLoading on the host too, the destination's objects are sent while you walk to the portal.
Requirements
- Valheim with BepInEx 5 on Windows.
Install
- Close Valheim.
- Extract this archive into the Valheim game directory. Verify that the DLL is at
Valheim/BepInEx/plugins/FastLoading.dll. - If upgrading from Valheim Frame Budget, delete the old
Valheim/BepInEx/plugins/ValheimFrameBudget.dll.
Settings
Valheim/BepInEx/config/ru.ivest.valheimframebudget.cfg (the old plugin GUID keeps existing settings), all
changeable with Configuration Manager:
- 1 - General: Enabled.
- 2 - Transitions: Dungeon fade, Teleport cooldown, Narrow range while loading, Defer distant nature.
- 3 - Multiplayer: Early object delivery, Send boost (both need FastLoading on the host).
Only errors are logged: a game hook that could not be installed, usually after a game update.
What's new in 0.6.0
- Fixed: buildings could collapse after a teleport when they stood on ruins (such as the Black Forest towers) or rocks that 0.5.0 created too late. Nothing solid is held back any more, and a streamed-in piece is never judged for support while the objects around it are still appearing.
Dungeon fade, the settings down to the seven a player may want, the terrain cache sized from system memory, cheaper terrain rebuilds under built pieces, and a log that only shows errors.
