==Issues fixed==
 +
===Heavy stutters without a controller===
 +
If you don't have a controller plugged in, about every 1-2 seconds the game will stutter [https://netdex.org/2020/02/08/atelier-ryza-ever-stuttering-and-the-stupid-workaround/ because it can't find one.] Possible solutions:
 +
* physically plug any controller into your computer
 +
or
 +
* simulate a "fake" virtual XInput controller [https://sourceforge.net/projects/vjoystick/ vJoy], [https://special-k.info/ Special K] or [https://github.com/luttje/Key2Joy Key2Joy]
 +
 +
Note: Special K does not work with Atelier Sync Fix.
 +
 +
===Physics elements do not function correctly at high framerate===
 +
{{ii}} Fixed as of Nov 9th 2019.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://store.steampowered.com/newshub/app/1121560/view/1615031650978846867|title=Update information(2019/11/08)|date=2020-07-27}}</ref>
