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.

Notes

  1. Neruke to Densetsu no Renkinjutsushi-tachi ~Aratana Daichi no Atorie~ (Japanese: ネルケと伝説の錬金術士たち ~新たな大地のアトリエ~) in Japan.
  2. The Steam page only listed the DX re-releases and remakes that are available on Steam. The same store page had also mistakenly listed Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream as part of the featured list of works, despite not appearing in the actual game.
  3. 3.0 3.1 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>/886820/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (886820) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
