Heavy stutters without a controller

The game will stutter every few seconds if a controller cannot be found. Solutions:

  • Physically plug in any controller to your computer.
  • Simulate a "fake" virtual XInput controller using vJoy, Special K or Key2Joy.

Note: Special K does not work with Atelier Sync Fix.
