Issues fixed
Unable to get up the ramp Chapter 18a
| Change video setting/resolution to 60HZ[citation needed] |
|---|
|
Crash in Chapter 3
| Change video setting to Windowed and switch off Steam Overlay[citation needed] |
|---|
You may also need to change the launch file to run in Windows 7 Compatibility Mode.[citation needed]
|
Game is accepting input from nonexistant device and is infinitely scrolling up on start
| Enter Windows Device Manager and disable devices[citation needed] |
|---|
When you reopen the game after you have disabled the device, the scrolling should stop and everything should work as normal.
|
Desktop visible even in fullscreen (Windows 10)
| Disable fullscreen optimization of Valkyria.exe[5] |
|---|
|
Falling through the map after climbing up the ladders at the back of the map in Episode 15a - Fight for Ghirlandaio
| Download fix from mega or google drive and install in Valkyria Chronicles\data\mx[6] |
|---|
|
Framerate dies when walking through grass
| Disable vsync[citation needed] |
|---|
|
This game really doesn't like Vsync (at 60 fps at least). It can also cause other types of slowdown-related bugs. You can try to alleviate screen tearing by locking fps to 58.
|
Text semitransparent in target information box
| Change refresh rate[citation needed] |
|---|
 Correct display on top, wrong on bottom
This happens with some refresh rates. Refresh rates of 30 and 60hz work. 50 and 59.94 does not work. |
Stuttering in cutscenes
| Limit framerate to 30[citation needed] |
|---|
|
The game incorrectly upconverts video framerate resulting in heavy stuttering at times. Limiting framerate to 30 in the launcher mostly fixes this. Using external framelimiters work so you can use FPS Limiter with hotkey support to toggle between 29.97FPS for cutscenes and 60FPS for gameplay while ingame. This can also be automated with Autohotkey:
Run,fpslimiter32.exe,,hide
Run,Valkyria.exe
Loop {
Sleep,1
PlayingMovie := 0
Loop,Files,movie\*
{
FileMove,%A_LoopFileLongPath%,%A_LoopFileLongPath%
if (ErrorLevel = 1)
PlayingMovie := 1
}
if (PlayingMovie = 1)
SendInput,^{Numpad0}
if (PlayingMovie = 0)
SendInput,^{Numpad1}
Process,Exist,Valkyria.exe
if (ErrorLevel = 0) {
Process,Close,fpslimiter32.exe
ExitApp
}
}You should now be able to launch the game with this script and get less stutter. Some minimal stuttering is unavoidable unless you can live with the 59.94hz bug mentioned above, since the cutscenes are 29.97 FPS. |
Units fail to evade successfully
| Set game resolution to 1280×720 and framerate to 30 fps.[7][8] |
