Metaphor Refantazio is now available worldwide following its release on October 11, and despite a fantastic job done by Atlus, some players on PC have had to face issues related to the native resolution.
While you can still play the game without any issues, there have been a few incidents where players haven’t been able to select their preferred resolution. This usually takes place if you can’t save the new screen resolution and the game reverts to the default settings. Thankfully, there are some potential solutions that you can try to ease your problem.
One of the main causes of Metaphor Refantazio (or any game, for that matter) not saving your desired screen resolution is due to the Graphics card it’s using. If you have a system with both integrated and dedicated graphics cards, chances are that the game will automatically use the integrated option. Here’s how you can change it to force Metaphor Refantazio to use your dedicated graphics card instead.
- Press Windows + S.
- Search for Graphics Settings.
- Choose Metaphor Refantazio from the list, or add it via browse if the executable game file is absent.
- Click on it and press Options.
- Choose “High Performance”.
This will cause the game to override the default selection and use your dedicated graphics card. You should also be able to change and save your screen resolution after this tweak, and switch from borderless to full screen (the former is known to cause crashes on some occasions).
Another known issue so far is players getting a low-quality render that hardly matches the screen resolution. This can also be fixed quite easily with a few tweaks.
- Go to the control panel of your graphics card.
- Select the game and go to settings.
- Turn on anti-aliasing.
- Turn on anisotropic filtering.
Turning on these two components should make the game look much better on your screen. Additionally, you can change more in-game settings to ensure that Metaphor Refantazio runs smoothly on your system. Keeping every requirement high could lead to sub-optimal performances or, in worse cases, even crash your game in some instances.
