Graphics feature State Notes

Widescreen resolution
Multi-monitor
Ultra-widescreen
Pre-rendered videos (including the character select screen) are zoomed in, but in-
game it displays fine.
4K Ultra HD
There's no in-game resolution setting, it automatically runs at desktop resolution.
Field of view (FOV)
Windowed
See the glossary page for potential workarounds.
Borderless fullscreen windowed
GOG version of the game seems to automatically run in borderless windowed mode on
Windows 10.
Anisotropic filtering (AF)
See the glossary page for potential workarounds.
Anti-aliasing (AA)
There's no in-game option, and trying to force it on driver level doesn't work.
However, the game files reference MSAA and FXAA.
Vertical sync (Vsync)
Forced V-Sync on Windows 10 due to always running in borderless windowed mode.
60 FPS
120+ FPS
Going above 60 FPS makes the game run faster and can cause voices to de-sync during
cutscenes and dialogues. There is no in-game option to cap the framerate.
High dynamic range display (HDR)

Issues unresolved • Link
Game runs too fast • Link
Frame rate higher than 60 makes the game run too fast, and the audio goes out of
sync.
Workaround: Limit the frame rate
Limit the game to 60 FPS with RivaTuner Statistics Server or through Nvidia Control
Panel.

Crash when deleting a corrupted save • Link

Saving the game generates "corrupted saves" as well as working saves. Attempting
to delete a corrupted save (even if it's not marked as such) causes the game to
freeze and crash to desktop.
Workaround: Avoid deleting saves
To stay on the safe side, do not attempt to delete any saves, overwrite them
instead.

Avoid spamming left mouse button or interaction key near save points.
Same key is used for bringing up save menu and deleting a save while in the menu.
Pressing left mouse button near a save point sometimes causes the menu to appear.
