Video
- The game allows completely arbitrary resolutions by editing the configuration file.
- Changing the aspect ratio can cause UI elements to compress, stretch, shrink, enlarge, be placed incorrectly or to disappear entirely.
- Fitting the UI will not solve all UI issues.

Set custom resolution with fitted UI[2]
|
- Note that this section might require some additional fiddling on your side.
- For Steam version, you'll first need to use Steamless to unpack the .exe file in order to allow modifications
- Use an HEX editor to modify the Atelier_Shallie_EN.exe file in <path-to-game> with the desired resolution. Find
39 8E E3 3F and replace the bold values with those of the desired resolution. Example: 26 B4 17 40 are the values for 2560x1080. Replacing 39 8E E3 3F with 26 B4 17 40 changes the resolution from 1920x1080 to 2560x1080. (see Common HEX values for the values of other widths)
- Open the configuration file.
- Change the
ScreenWidth= and ScreenHeight= values to the desired resolution.
- Download 3Dmigoto and unpack it in the <path-to-game>.
- Run the game once.
- Fit the UI by downloading the shader files (vs_replace.txt pastebin files) over here and placing them in the "ShaderFixes" folder.
- Edit the values of the shader files as specified in the above link in accordance to the desired aspect ratio.
