| + | ===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 [https://github.com/luttje/Key2Joy Key2Joy] or [https://special-k.info/ Special K] | ||
| + | |||
| + | Note: Special K does not work with Atelier Sync Fix. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Note 2: The game disables MnK input once it detects a controller. [https://sourceforge.net/projects/vjoystick/ vJoy] is not recommended as it is not PlugNPlay. Enabling and disabling vJoy will permanently lock the game to controller input. | ||

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.
