Issues unresolved
Debug build
- It seems Square-Enix issued accidentally a debug version of the game that normally is not intended to the final public. This may be the cause of the many issues this game have on PC. There is no word from developers if the public will ever see the vanilla build on PC at this point in time.[4]
Heavy FPS drops
- The game can drop fps from 120 to below 30 fps when texture settings are set to high on a GPU with 8GB of VRAM or less. This may be caused by poor VRAM management, as the issue is resolved by altering between low and high settings. This appears to force a VRAM-flush. There is no word from the developers about the issue at the time of this edit.
Bad frame-pacing and data-stream-issues
- When using the in game fps limiter the game can present bad frame-pacing. It also presents data-stream-issues that can be easily reproduced.[5]
There is no word from the developers about the issue at the time of this edit.
- The frame-pacing issue can be greatly alleviated by using any VRR technology (such as HDMI VRR, G-Sync or Freesync). This won't help with data-stream-issues however.[6]
Controller detection oddities
- Some controllers (PS5 Controller as an example) do not function correctly over Bluetooth if they are powered on and connected prior to launching the game. The game does not always recognize the type of controller when connected via Bluetooth. This will result in generic, difficult to parse, numbered button labels in-game. It will also require you to rebind all of the buttons on the controller, as it will by default automatically bind only the d-pad, accept, and cancel buttons in this scenario.
Issues fixed
Dynamic resolution scaling tied to frame rate
- The game's dynamic resolution scaling system is buggy and appears to be tied to its frame rate limiter.

Notes
- ↑ Appears to contain no useful .ini files by default
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/1462040/. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (1462040) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.

- Tested using an RTX 3070 in native 4K resolution using HDMI 2.1 VRR at 4K120 and with LFC enabled on an LG C9 OLED TV. Also tested with all FPS targets: 30, 60, 90, and 120. All FPS targets present a significantly better frame cadence than fixed refresh rate.
