How to disable vsync

Did you know that EU4 has a hidden option to disable vsync? If you want a more fluid experience, here is how you can disable vsync.

Turning off vsync

Go to your documents folder and follow this directory: Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV


There will be a settings.txt folder, open that.

On the 23rd line down, you will have an option to disable vsync, replace 'yes' with 'no'. Then save the settings.txt file.


Then load up EU4 and experience the unlocked cap.

I am glad to find this years later, for some reason vsync causes any of the PDX games to graphically freeze (on my new build).

it's a map looking simulator, you don't need to disable vsync lol but it's here if you need it...

For once I agree with you...
