Issues fixed
Game won't launch despite previously running with no issue
- Game crashes, especially during minigames, can corrupt
graphics.ini
Change the corrupted settings[citation needed]
|
refresh_rate_num=60000
refresh_rate_denom=1000
to
refresh_rate_num=60
refresh_rate_denom=1
Notes
- Refresh rate can be later changed in-game
- Alternatively delete
graphics.ini and let the game rebuild it on launch.
|
Incorrect inputs on XInput controllers
Enable Xbox configuration support in Steam's controller settings and set Steam's "Input Per-Game" setting to "Forced On" in the game's properties.[8]
|
- This workaround only applies to the Steam release of the game.
|
Resolve low FPS, lag and crash
- Fullscreen optimization and DPI settings come pre-configured with Windows 10. These are known for causing trouble with games leading to several issues.
Disable Full-Screen Optimization & High DPI in Windows 10[citation needed]
|
- Go to
<path-to-game>
- Disable fullscreen optimizations for
YakuzaLikeADragon.exe
- Now, click the Change high DPI settings button
- Tick Override high DPI scaling behavior and select Application from the drop-down menu
- This workaround is a must to do it to get more Stability in 60 fps or more, almost not difference at 30 FPS.
|
Dialogue automatically skipping
- In cutscenes, dialogue may skip forward, i.e. it will get cut off early and go onto the next dialogue box. This may be noticeable in some Chapter 12 cutscenes.
Try disabling/changing framerate cap, or reducing graphics settings so that the target framerate is met.
|
- The dialogue skipping seems to happen when your framerate goes under the framerate cap - for example if your framerate is capped at 60 ingame, and you drop to the 50s during a cutscene, the dialogue at that point may be cut off. Removing the framerate cap, or reducing graphics settings to improve framerate should fix it.
- If all else fails, one person has reported that disabling G-SYNC may fix the issue.
