This game runs like crap on my PC
Every other game is glossy smooth... this is a 3 month old PC with a Ryzen 7 and GeForce RTX 4070, and Ryza is so choppy it makes my head hurt after less than a minute, with all the settings dialed down. With a controller plugged in. And after fiddling with nVidia settings as advised in another thread. Time to return it. Any advice on whether I should buy a Switch or PS4 version?

Open the navidia control panel,use discrete gpu.The default is integrated graphics.
Please do not buy this garbage. It basically does not work on many Windows computers and Steam will not allow you to refund it. After buying it on Steam and it not working at all, I bought it for Switch where it works fine. Stay way the hell away from Steam when it comes to Atelier games because they don't work and there is no mechanism for a refund. They work fine on any other platform. I did read that supposedly you can get a refund if you ask for it within 14 days of purchase, but that basically cuts out everything because 90% of games I don't even play within that timeframe. I actually did realize Ryza PC was trash within a couple days of purchase but waited until I bought Ryza Switch and made sure it worked OK to decide to return it. By that time, it was too late. I was playing other games in the meantime. Does that make me bad? Or is it possibly Gabe Newell who decided "There should not be any 'return game' link anywhere within Steam, we need to make it as difficult as legally possible".

@ETHUSKY, nope, sorry, I can only have my monitor plugged into one thing at a time, and it is plugged into my discrete graphics card. It's actually not possible for it to be running on my integrated GPU.

Incidentally, I'm screenshotting this in case it gets moderated.

I had that problem too. I fixed it by switching to Arch Linux. Hope that helps!

You can submit a manual request here. The sooner you do it the better. Explain your issues with the game and how you didn't get to it within the 14 day period. The regular refund system is not looked at by people and is automated.
