Since there are so many helpful people here, I'll continue to ask my questions :D Sorry in advance, I'm 90% sure this has been discussed on the forum many times, but honestly, I couldn't find anything.

So, I played Heroes 5 without much care for about 5 years, my computer whirred, but I was either too dumb or too lazy, or both, so I usually didn't bother. But after 5 years, I started feeling restless, and I decided it was time! :D So, I checked, and Heroes 5 loads my video card to 98% hahaha :D I'm playing through a virtual machine with 4GB, settings on full, and the game gives 400-600 FPS :D Well, yes, it's a sad moment. I decided to try limiting my FPS to match the quality of my old monitor - that is, to 60 FPS.

So, here's the question - is there any mod to limit the FPS? Or should this be done not with a mod, but in the config file? I just went into my Heroes profile, the user_a2.cfg file, and set the gfx_vsync line to 1. Experts, what's your opinion, did I do it right? Or should I do it differently? Or should I use a mod? Or what?

Since there are so many kind and helpful people here, I will continue to ask my questions Sorry in advance, I'm 90% sure that this has been discussed on the forum many times, but honestly, I couldn't find anything.

In short, I played Heroes 5 without paying much attention for about 5 years, the computer was buzzing, but I was either too stupid, or too lazy, or both, so I usually didn't care. But after 5 years, I started to feel something, and I decided - it's time! So, I checked, and Heroes 5 loads my video card at 98% hahaha I'm playing through a virtual machine with 4GB, the settings are on full, and the game gives 400-600 fps well, yes, it's a sad moment. I decided to try to limit my fps to the quality of my old monitor - that is, to 60 fps.

And that's basically the question - is there any mod for limiting? Or should this be done not with a mod, but in the config? I just went into my Heroes profile, the user_a2.cfg file, and set the gfx_vsync line to 1. Experts, what do you think, did I do it right? Or should I do it differently? Or should I use a mod? Or what?

In general, a mod for the game is not needed here, everything is usually done in the video card settings.

Here is a detailed article for Nvidia and AMD.

In this case, a mod for the game isn't really needed; everything is usually done in the video card settings.

I did it through the user_a2.cfg file. The developer of the Universe mod added the ability to enable vertical synchronization from the game settings; it's unknown why the game developers didn't add this option.

I also tried it through user_a2.cfg, but I didn't like the result. It seemed like the game would apply the settings after a while (after starting), and it would also stutter in some places. Plus, VSync itself puts a load on the game (although a very small one). But when I used the Nvidia app to simply lock the frame rate at 60fps, everything became perfect. I didn't see any issues with the graphics or loading, and it's only 60fps. Plus, the computer became even quieter than with VSync.

When I had Bandicam running with the FPS counter, it showed 2200 FPS in the main menu, and the graphics card usage would spike (it's the same now). But in the rest of the game, it's normal, without such extreme values.
