Essential improvements
Dynamic Resolution Scaling
- The game's dynamic resolution scaling system appears to be tied to its frame rate limiter. There is a mod available to disable it at the link below. Note that using an external limiter with a lower frame rate target does not appear to bypass this.
https://www.nexusmods.com/finalfantasy7remake/mods/22
Force DirectX 11 for more consistent frametimes
You can force DirectX 11 as a launch option. For Epic Store users it's simply -dx11
It's also recommended to disable the Dynamic Resolution Scaler using the mod listed on this page and limit the frame rate by other means (Nvidia control panel, RTSS, etc). In Nvidia control panel, forcing Vsync On, and Prefer maximum performance may help further.
Unfortunately it breaks HDR support, resulting in wrong and washed-out colors, with severe banding.

Temporary Ultrawide Fix
Install Reshade to game folder where .exe is located (to find the .exe, inside the game folder go to: \End\Binaries\Win64 and select the game executable there)
In Shaders list select Fubax-shaders, in the next screen select AspectRatio.fx, other shaders are up to you, this is the only one needed for Ultrawide.
Download and install a exe editor like HxD, then go to where the game executable is located in \End\Binaries\Win64 and drag the .exe into the HxD window or shortcut.
In HxD, Press CTRL+R, in the first box and in the "Hex-values" tab, find "3B 8E E3 3F" and "replace all" with the value for your resolution, example "8E E3 18 40" for 3440x1440.
Now the second value, you need to find "35 FA 0E 3C BC 74" and replace with "35 FA 38 3C BC 74" for 21:9 or "EF F4 38 3C BC 74" if you use 32:9, then save. NEW: You can try this triple monitor setup value for 32:9 and see if its better: "EF D4 83 3C BC 74"
Start the game, open reshade configuration and make sure Aspect Ratio shader is checked (make sure it's not in performance mode (tiny checkbox at bottom right of the window)), then at bottom of Reshade window find the AspectRatio.fx and set the slide of "Correct proportions" to 0.343 (this is the value for 21:9) -- For 32:9 keep moving the slider Until it fills the whole screen.
That's it, if you disable the shader mentioned in step 1, you will notice the game aspect ratio shrunk, this is why we use the shader.

Change in-game text language
Make sure the "Prefered Communication Language" is in your language.
If it's already in your language and the game is still in another, change it to something else, save and launch the game. Close the game, change the comms preference back to your language and launch the game one last time.
Issues unresolved
Heavy FPS drops
- The game can drop fps from 120 to below 30 fps when texture settings are set to high on a GPU with 8GB of VRAM or less. This may be caused by poor VRAM management, as the issue is resolved by altering between low and high settings. This appears to force a VRAM-flush. There is no word from the developers about the issue at the time of this edit.
Bad frame-pacing and data-stream-issues
- When using the in game fps limiter the game can present bad frame-pacing. It also presents data-stream-issues that can be easily reproduced.[3]
There is no word from the developers about the issue at the time of this edit.
Controller detection oddities
- Some controllers (PS5 Controller as an example) do not function correctly over Bluetooth if they are powered on and connected prior to launching the game. The game does not always recognize the type of controller when connected via Bluetooth. This will result in generic, difficult to parse, numbered button labels in-game. It will also require you to rebind all of the buttons on the controller, as it will by default automatically bind only the d-pad, accept, and cancel buttons in this scenario.
