Essential Improvements
Atelier Sync Fix
- Improves GPU utilization in D3D11-based Atelier games and can dramatically improve performance as a result.
- Adds an external configuration for anti-aliasing (MSAA and SSAA) and anisotropic filtering.

Issues fixed
Heavy stutters without a controller
| Connect or emulate a controller[10] |
|---|
|
The game will stutter multiple times per second if a controller has not been detected at least once. Solutions:
The controller does not need to constantly be connected or emulated and can be removed as soon as the stutters stop, which happens almost immediately. |
