Valheim – NVIDIA Freestyle

“I agree”

This method works for pretty much any game that use DirectX3D, I’m not sure about OpenGL or Vulkan. However, changing the name of the executable might cause some unforeseen issues. 
 
By utilizing this method, you agree that the creator of this guide isn’t liable and cannot be held responsible for any damage that might happen to your PC, account, pet, etc… 
 
 
 

Step 1: Find Valheim on your PC

 
 
Right click on Valheim in your Steam Library, then “Manage”, then “Browse Local Files” 
 
 
 

Step 2: Copy the Valheim executable and the data folder

 
 
Normally, the data folder isn’t necessary, but apparently the executable looks for a data folder after its own name, so we need to copy it as well 
 
 
 

Step 3: Rename what you’ve copied to “anselintegrationtestapp”

 
 
The executable “valheim – Copy” to “anselintegrationtestapp” 
The folder “valheim_Data – Copy” to “anselintegrationtestapp_Data” 
 
 
 

Step 4: ALT+F3

From now on, whenever you try to open up NVIDIA Freestyle (custom game filters) while playing Valheim, you can. By default, the shortcut is ALT+F3. Customize the look in any way you want. 
 
Why is this necessary? It isn’t, really, but I have a custom filter that I apply to pretty much any game to make the game look a bit more vivid, and I had to get it over here somehow as I feel the colors are a bit washed up on Valheim for me. If you have some sort of color blindness, you can give the color blindness filters a go as well. 
 
You don’t need older drivers with NVIDIA Inspector or anything. Just that simple renaming trick works. I hope they’ll add Valheim to the official list someday, but for now this will have to do. Anyway, stay safe, and have fun! 
 
 
 

Notes

• The Steam Overlay won’t work. 
 
• When there is an update, you’ll have to do the same stuff again. Otherwise, you’ll be playing on an older client, without the updates.
