Issues fixed
Heavy stutters without a controller
The game will stutter every few seconds if a controller cannot be found. Possible solutions:
- physically plug any controller into your computer
- simulate a "fake" virtual XInput controller using Key2Joy or Special K
Note: Special K does not work with Atelier Sync Fix.
Note 2: The game disables MnK input once it detects a controller. vJoy is not recommended as it is not PlugNPlay. Enabling and disabling vJoy will permanently lock the game to controller input.
