Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland DX[Note 1] is a singleplayer third-person JRPG game developed by Gust Co. Ltd. and published by Koei Tecmo. It is part of the Atelier series.
The game itself is an enhanced re-release of the 2013 game Atelier Rorona Plus: The Alchemist of Arland[Note 2], which itself is a remake of the original 2009 PlayStation 3 game Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland[Note 3], the first entry in the Arland tetralogy.
The DX re-release includes content and gameplay additions from the Plus re-release, integrate DLC contents from prior releases into the base game as well as some quality-of-life adjustment such as abilities to dash in the free roam and fast forwarding during battle. Initially released on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch in Japan on September 20, 2018, it was ported to PC and released on December 4, 2018 alongside the console versions' oversea releases.

Essential Improvements
Atelier Sync Fix
- Improves GPU utilization in D3D11-based Atelier games and can dramatically improve performance as a result.
- Fixes the game from being locked to an internal maximum resolution of 1080p.
- Adds an external configuration for anti-aliasing (MSAA and SSAA) and anisotropic filtering.

Issues unresolved
Menu stutter
Noticeable delays occur when opening certain menus and to a smaller extent when scrolling through the items of those menus. A fix does exist but is known to cause crashes and is no longer actively being worked on. [17]
Issues fixed
Heavy stutters without a controller
Connect or emulate a controller[18] |
---|
The game will stutter multiple times per second if a controller has not been detected at least once. Solutions:
The controller does not need to constantly be connected or emulated and can be removed as soon as the stutters stop, which happens almost immediately.

- Inspected the render latency before and after connecting a controller using Special K. Huge spikes in render latency were observed multiple times per second at regular intervals when no controller had been connected or emulated. These stutters were very noticeable. Connecting a DualSense Edge controller using a USB cable, via Bluetooth, or emulating a controller using vJoy, Special K or Key2Joy made these huge spikes go away almost immediately. The regular interval stutters disappeared entirely, even when the controller was disconnected or stopped being emulated.
