Visions of Mana: How to Fix Stuttering on Powerful PC (Cap FPS Outside of in-game Setting)

by

If you’re seeing the game report a stable framerate but it doesn’t look smooth, despite maintaining well over 100 fps with v-sync off, we’re going to use the Nvidia Control panel to cap the framerate better than the in-game setting for it does. If you have AMD, you should be able to do the same thing with your own software. Special K will also get the job done.

 

Intro

If you’re seeing the game report a stable framerate but it doesn’t look smooth, despite maintaining well over 100 fps with v-sync off, we’re going to use the Nvidia Control panel to cap the framerate better than the in-game setting for it does. If you have AMD, you should be able to do the same thing with your own software.

Special K also works great as you’d expect for capping the framerate better than the in-game limiter, if you’d prefer that over the Nvidia Control Panel then you can grab the Special K Injection Frontend (SKIF)[www.special-k.info]

Steps

1. In game, disable the framerate cap. Leave V-sync on.

2. Add the game to the Nvidia control panel

Right click desktop > Show More Options > Nvidia Control Panel. Click on Manage 3D settings on the left-hand side. Go to the Program Settings tab. Click Add. If Visions of Mana isn’t there, click browse and add the correct executable: the one located at steamapps\common\VisionsofMana\VisionsofMana\Binaries\Win64 and named VisionsofMana-Win64-Shipping.exe

3. Set Max Frame Rate to your monitor’s refresh rate


Hit Apply and you should be good to go!
