Essential Improvements

Atelier Sync Fix

Improves GPU utilization in D3D11-based Atelier games and can dramatically improve performance as a result.
Adds an external configuration for anti-aliasing (MSAA and SSAA) and anisotropic filtering.
Instructions[1]
  1. Extract into <path-to-game>.
  2. Add as a command line argument WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3d11=n,b" %command%. Only required on Linux/Steam Deck.

Graphics feature State Notes
Widescreen resolution
Multi-monitor
Ultra-widescreen
See Ultra-widescreen for instructions.
4K Ultra HD
Manually change the values of ScreenWidth= to 3840 and ScreenHeight= to 2160 in the configuration file.
Field of view (FOV)
Windowed
Borderless fullscreen windowed
Confirmed to work with Borderless Gaming. You need to manually set the values of ScreenWidth= and ScreenHeight= to the desired height and width (your desktop's) in the configuration file.
Anisotropic filtering (AF)
Requires the Atelier Sync Fix. Open the atfix.ini (created after starting the game with the fix installed) in <path-to-game> and change the value of AF = to a number from 1 to 16.
Anti-aliasing (AA)
MSAA and SSAA. Requires the Atelier Sync Fix. Open the atfix.ini (created after starting the game with the fix installed) in <path-to-game> and change the value of FullSSAA = to 1. MSAA is enabled by default with the fix installed.
High-fidelity upscaling
See the glossary page for potential workarounds.
Vertical sync (Vsync)
See the glossary page for potential workarounds.
60 FPS and 120+ FPS
High dynamic range display (HDR)
See the glossary page for potential alternatives.
Ray tracing (RT)

Ultra-widescreen

The game allows completely arbitrary resolutions by editing the configuration file.
Changing the aspect ratio can cause UI elements to compress, stretch, shrink, enlarge, be placed incorrectly or to disappear entirely.
Fitting the UI will not solve all UI issues.
Set custom resolution with fitted UI[2]
Note that this section might require some additional fiddling on your side.
For Steam version, you'll first need to use Steamless to unpack the .exe file in order to allow modifications
  1. Use an HEX editor to modify the Atelier_Escha_and_Logy_EN.exe file in <path-to-game> with the desired resolution. Find 39 8E E3 3F 00 00 and replace the bold values with those of the desired resolution. Example: 26 B4 17 40 are the values for 2560x1080. Replacing 39 8E E3 3F 00 00 with 26 B4 17 40 00 00 changes the resolution from 1920x1080 to 2560x1080. (see Common HEX values for the values of other widths)
  2. Open the configuration file.
  3. Change the ScreenWidth= and ScreenHeight= values to the desired resolution.
  4. Download 3Dmigoto and unpack it in the <path-to-game>.
  5. Run the game once.
  6. Fit the UI by downloading the shader files (vs_replace.txt pastebin files) over here and placing them in the "ShaderFixes" folder.
  7. Edit the values of the shader files as specified in the above link in accordance to the desired aspect ratio.
