Crashing

Use Pretty Prinny[citation needed]

Low FPS

Most of the issues with optimization, hardware utilizing and controller querying should be fixed with patch 03-02-16.[3]
Unsubscribe from Steam's Beta client[4]
Use dedicated GPU (laptops)[citation needed]
  • Force use of dedicated GPU through either Nvidia control panel or AMD Catalyst Control Center, either globally or game-specific profile.

Menus scrolling automatically

Should be fixed as latest patches include native XInput support.[5]
This is most likely caused by game detecting some of computers devices as controller and picking it up as primary/only one. This can mean physical devices like mouse and webcams[6] to virtual and physical unused controllers.
People with Steam Link and Controller seem to be having major issues with this, see further below for solution.
Remove unused controllers[citation needed]
  1. Push Win+R and type joy.cpl then push OK.
  2. From Advanced settings... set your used controller as primary one and then push OK.
  3. Locate all unused controllers listed and either unplug them physically, disable them from device manager or with virtual controllers uninstall from control panel.

Steam Controller and Link

Use Pretty Prinny[citation needed]
  • Use customized pad.cfg that comes with the mod.

Analog stick acts as 8-directional digital input

Update to the game in March 17, 2016 added native XInput 1.4 support into the game, however it altered the input so that analog movement doesn't work anymore. It also made Steam controller and link work with the game, but at the same time introduced issues with XInput devices especially with windows version of 7 and earlier.
Use Pretty Prinny[citation needed]
  • Use dis1_st.exe that comes with the mod, which is game executable before the patch.

Run the game at screen refresh rate

Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.
Set screen refresh rate[citation needed]

Use Pretty Prinny.

Notes

  1. When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/405900/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (405900) may differ in some cases.
