In-Depth Description

The lodbias command in Valheim is indeed used to control the server's draw distance. In simpler terms, it adjusts the level of detail or clarity of objects in game at varying distances.

The values that you can assign to the lodbias command range from 1 to 5, wherein, a lower number will reduce the draw distance, meaning that objects further away from you will appear less detailed or may not appear at all.

A higher number will increase the draw distance, allowing you to see objects further away from you with more detail.

This command can be very helpful in adjusting the performance of the game depending on your device's capabilities.

If your device tends to struggle with maintaining a satisfactory frame rate due to the high amount of details being rendered, reducing the lod bias can ease the strain on your device.

On the other hand, if your device has plenty of spare processing power and you'd like to enhance your game's visuals, increasing the lod bias can provide a clearer and more immersive gaming experience.

Quick Overview

The command lodbias is used to change the level of detail (LOD) bias in the game, which determines the distance at which the game starts to progressively lower the level of detail for objects.

The values between 1 and 5 define the extent of this adjustment.

Higher values mean that objects at a greater distance from the player will retain their detail, increasing the game's graphical load but providing a richer visual experience.

Lower values minimize the graphical performance demand by reducing objects's detail at nearer distances.
