| + | {{--}} In the stage “Mecha Madness”, the mouse cursor is not captured during gameplay, so when using the mouse to control the camera and attack, moving the mouse too far can result in clicking off the game and losing focus (during which the game does not pause). The only mitigations are to either limit the game to fullscreen mode on one monitor (so the game cannot be clicked off of), or to use a controller. | ||

| 4K Ultra HD | |||
| Field of view (FOV) | |||
| Windowed | |||
| Borderless fullscreen windowed | Enable windowed mode and use the -popupwindow parameter (or see the glossary page). |
||
| Anisotropic filtering (AF) | |||
| Anti-aliasing (AA) | FXAA only (low, normal, high, and extreme settings). | ||
| High-fidelity upscaling | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
| Vertical sync (Vsync) | |||
| 60 FPS and 120+ FPS | Fixed FPS values: 30, 60, 120, 140, unlocked. | ||
| High dynamic range display (HDR) | |||
| Ray tracing (RT) | |||
| Color blind mode | Primarily impacts visual distinction of the 3 enemy attack warning types. However, they have differing audio, and the yellow warning is rotated so it appears as an X rather than a +. | ||
- The game engine may allow for manual configuration of the game via its variables. See the Unity page for more details.
- Custom graphics settings will get overwritten if the resolution is set to “current”; see custom graphics settings get overwritten by a preset when entering levels.

Controls
- There is no native control rebinding whatsoever. The controls change substantially when using vehicles, so those using external remapping tools may need multiple profiles they can switch between for everything to control comfortably.
- The game does not make all its control binds known, especially for keyboard controls. They are listed below in detail, for reference:
| Keyboard | XInput | On foot | On rail | Car | Airship | Menu |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Esc / ↵ Enter | Menu/Start |

- When also using a controller, LCtrl / B will perform an “instant” Charged Jester Dash, and cannot be held to charge one. C can be used to consistently charge a Charged Jester Dash when using simultaneous controller+KBM instead. (Note that this is because C acts as two controller buttons.)
- Ctrl / B, F, and 1234 / D‐Pad can be held without changing the functions of any other inputs, unlike the other inputs for accessing these functions.

| Separate volume controls | Music and sound effects can only be fully muted during gameplay; in menus and cutscenes, they will still be faintly audible even on the lowest setting. | |

| Subtitles | All dialogue during pre‐rendered cutscenes is subtitled as there is no voice acting. | |

Issues unresolved
Mouse cursor not captured during Mecha Madness
- In the stage “Mecha Madness”, the mouse cursor is not captured during gameplay, so when using the mouse to control the camera and attack, moving the mouse too far can result in clicking off the game and losing focus (during which the game does not pause). The only mitigations are to either limit the game to fullscreen mode on one monitor (so the game cannot be clicked off of), or to use a controller.
Issues fixed
Custom graphics settings get overwritten by a preset when entering levels
- If the resolution is set to “current” while other graphics options have been customized (so “quality level” is “custom”), a random preset will be selected the next time a level is selected from the map screen (and possibly in other circumstances as well).
| Set resolution to a specific value |
|---|
|
Controller vibrates with vibration unchecked
- After booting the game with the “vibration” setting unchecked, the controller may still rumble anyway.
| Turn the “vibration” setting on and off again. |
