Additional Features



    It is now possible to specify the drawing quality by specifying the launch options from the game properties.
    Please use this function when you cannot reach the main menu due to insufficient video memory.


How to use
Start the game with one of the following arguments entered in the launch options field.

  • -screen-quality Ultra
  • -screen-quality High
  • -screen-quality Medium
  • -screen-quality Low

Applying "-screen-quality Low" to the rendering quality to "low" will increase the possibility of safe startup.

Caution
As long as an argument is entered in the launch options field, the drawing quality will be changed at game startup, ignoring saved data. It is recommended to remove the argument when you are done.

Thank you for your support.
