Version differences

The GOG.com version lacks the last two patches released on Steam. A "parity patch" mod is available on Nexus Mods, though it may not fix all of the bugs.[1] The online pawn system is bugged and players may not receive their rewards.[2]
The GOG.com and Steam versions have separate servers for online features (the Pawn system and Ur Dragon).[3]

DDDA Japanese VoiceOver Project

The project fulfills the wishes of those fans who wanted to hear the original Japanese voices in the game instead of English dubbing. The authors converted the original lines from the console edition released in Japan and converted them to PC version of the game.

Issues fixed

Low audio volume

Enable surround sound[7][citation needed]

Use surround sound, either natively or through software (Razer Surround works fine).

Notes

Approximates surround sound without actual 5.1/7.1 hardware.
Virtualization is limited to discrete positions. Requires headphones and 3rd-party software. Lacks low tone range without specialized headphones.
Enable Loudness Equalization[citation needed]

Enabling Loudness Equalization under Enhancements in Speaker Properties alleviates this issue for users without headsets or users streaming through Steam Link.

Notes

Requires no specific hardware or 3rd-party software.
The volume contrast finesse will be lost. Far warcries, close explosions — all will sound blandly same.
Use Erquint's DDDA Sound Hack[citation needed]

Can be downloaded here.

Notes

Sound quality after the game loads user settings is untouched. Requires no specific hardware.
Requires 3rd-party software tampering with the game itself. Some clipping on the title screen.

Micro-stuttering when the framerate is capped at 60 FPS

Change the framerate cap to 30 FPS in the options menu
May not be a desirable option for anyone wishing to play at a framerate higher than the console versions.
Set the FPS limit to 60 in third-party program, like Rivatuner Statistic Server or NVIDIA Control Panel

Stuttering in general on high end system

Use DXVK
  1. Go to [1] and download dxvk-2.3.1.tar.gz
  2. Extract the folder and go to the x32 folder
  3. Place the d3d9.DDL where the DDDA.exe is located

Menu Artifacts

Edit Configuration File
  1. Go to the configuration files location.
  2. Open Config.ini.
  3. Find [CPU].
  4. Set Jobthread to 3.
  5. Save changes.
