It played fine last night but I just started back up at the introduction of the castle and the game keeps giving me "

Error 0x801901F7

"

This is on gamepass PC version. Windows 11.

Has anyone else encountered this error?

Lots of people are getting errors on the GP PC version. I've gotten multiple during the intro area

MirageDwarf · Oct 21, 2022

Haven't played Persona game before so I'm excited to try out and see what all hype is about :)

Off-topic: Back when Sega announced this with 4 and Portable, it said Persona 4 will be released on PC too (plus current gen consoles) but Persona 4 Golden is already available on Steam. https://www.polygon.com/23396858/persona-3-4-switch-xbox-pc-ps5-release-date So I'm confused. Is it gonna be Persona 4 Royal or something else?

No it's just Persona 4 Golden. It was already out

Ah. I think that error has to do with the internet connectivity so I'm just going to say no for now about the social network connection.

Ryu bogard · Oct 21, 2022

anyone know how to change the language to English? I am on xbox gamepass all the words are in Chinese and voice is in Japanese.

Galaxea · Oct 21, 2022

Okay, not accepting the internet features fixed that error. I'm guessing the server is overloaded.

NoctisLC · Oct 21, 2022

Resolution scaling seems all messed up on pc gamepass. Its jaggy city even at 4k for me.

LOL. I'll look to see if there's a good discount on Steam... Fuckin' Xbox, man.

Turn off phantom assist

I think Game Pass stuff is dependent on the region set on your Windows. Try having a look there.

I tried to switch the region on my xbox to US but it still shows the game in Chinese language. I will try deleting and redownloading from US region.

How hard is it to get all achievements on a single playthrough?

Royal has the easiest trophy/achivements list in the series, you can defo get all of them in one playthrough.

I've seen it mentioned. I'm still not locking my save file to this version if this is what I'm greeted with. I knew it was going to be borked in some way on PCGP.

Atom · Oct 21, 2022

Holy shit my framerate just completely collapses in Shibuya Station Square around the Puchiko statue. GG. Whenever the game spawns like a bajillion of the outline NPCs its kinda rough.

Otherwise seems like a solid port. Not a ton of graphical options etc. but more than I was expecting.

Well, I'm taking a chance on this. It's a highly regarded game in a genre I do enjoy, so why not?

I have a question that's probably going to end up with a lot of spoiler tagged answers, but since it will be some hours before I have time to dig in, I'll ask anyway:

What do you wish you had known when you played the game for the first time?

I'm not just talking ending requirements, I'm talking silly newbie mistakes to avoid, or small things to do to get a little edge in the game.

I maxed out all confidants on my first playthrough without any sort of guide, but I had general knowledge from previous persona games, so here's some useful tips for any persona game:
-Have a persona of the same arcana as the person you are talking to and you get more points
-When you talk to a confidant and it asks if you want to hang out, there will be an extra line which is like "you think you will get closer to them" or something like that which means you're going to rank up
-99% of the time, ranking up a confidant is the most valuable action you can take on any given day
-As you progress through the game you usually unlock ways to get points towards a confidant by doing things other than hanging out with them.

Ryu bogard · Oct 21, 2022

It is really stupid you cannot select the game language in-game. And only the Chinese version is available in my region (Singapore). I had to re-download from the US store for the English version.

I think servers are overloaded because it was fine last night and turning the internet functionality off fixed it for me.

I officially don't like that the start button can skip ahead in some situations.

I was trying to hit start to maybe save my progress.

NOPE!

It fast forwarded like 700 lines of dialogue and my last save was from an hour earlier.

Hope there wasn't any useful or critical info in that long conversation I skipped.

To add to this: Some confidants have weird schedules and it's a good idea to make a mental note of that. Like when the Sun confidant hits you up, you say yes every time.

Seems like the game has some DPI scaling issues look at my post here maybe it helps.
Might be a problem with Game pass not the first time there are issues like that.

Jawmuncher thinking that the DPI fix post should be threadmarked, at least until it's patched.

Mashing · Oct 21, 2022

Is there enough new here for someone who played and beat the original version?

Deleted member 4212 · Oct 21, 2022

I'm going to put it down and come back in a week. I hope there's a patch.

Zafir · Oct 21, 2022

Now that Game Pass installs games to an accessible folder you should just be able to use compatibility settings on the exe to stop it from taking into account the DPI scaling of windows. Just right click the exe, compatibility and theres a change High DPI button.

Wild that there's no confirmation box if you actually want to skip dialogue lol.

Doesn't work for me for some reason which is weird since it usually always works.
I have heard some people supposedly had success by ticking "Program DPI" in addition to "Override high DPI scaling" but that didn't work for me and i tried every combination of it in the compatibility settings of the exe and launcher.

Game pass (and Steam?) PC version has some weird DPI scaling issues, i usually use 125% in windows because my eyesight is pretty bad and the game runs at a lower display resolution no matter what resolution i try.

The usual DPI settings in the compatibility properties of the exe don't help at all for some reason but i was able to fix it with Special K so if anyone here has this issue use that.

Start the game with it and open the overlay make sure override resolution and ignore DPI scaling is checked (it should do that automatically) that should make it use the correct display resolution:

because NO ONE expects people with 4K monitors to use DPI scaling!

What a joke.

This isn't something it would cost any substantial amount of money for a port developer to fix.

Weird, I haven't tested this game but I've always had success with those settings on my Laptop which has scaling on. It's definitely not the first game that doesn't play nice with DPI settings.

Yeah there is something really weird going on with how this game renders if Display Scaling is enabled, it is so broken that the windows compatibility settings don't help at all.

NoctisLC · Oct 21, 2022

Dead locked 4k120 max settings and the 4090 is at 73 watts lol. Not super demanding.

Mashing said:

Yes. But more in line with. P4 to P4G in terms of newness.

Quality of life improvements
Slight changes to dungeons
Slight changes in some cutscenes

The main addition is mostly the new characters and arc that kinda serves as an extended story for the original.

Personally I find it very fun to spot what the new stuff and differences with the original are. Its not massive in a sense but it makes it feel definitive.

I posted a possible trick for this earlier in the thread but try starting the game through it's own executable instead of the Xbox-app. This fixed the DPI override setting for me.

The Xbox-app does something funky to the games launch process.

Thank you. So it sounds like it's worth it but maybe not a full price. I can wait for a sale.

SoundLad · Oct 21, 2022

How is the audio quality on PC (Steam version)? Better or worse than the PS4 version with regards to compression?

Dinjoralo · Oct 21, 2022

There's a reason I fricking hate PCGP. Actually, there's a lot of reasons.

I've got a lot on my gaming plate right now, so I think I'll just hold off on P5R. NEO TWEWY has me in it's grips real good.

whiskeyjack-YT · Oct 21, 2022

The blacks seem absolutely crushed here. Increasing the brightness doesn't reach the shaded tones, just increases the visible shit.

On an LG CX OLED & PC.

Tried that and doesn't work either but i'm fine with special k it fixes it and i would be using it for the frame limiter anyway.

Of course! I kinda lumped it in quality of life in my mind but now that I think about it, it did change a lot and added lots of fun mechanics.

The game has a lot inky black elements by design. Have you compared to PS4 video footage if it looks the same, or if yours are more crushed?

Keiriks · Oct 21, 2022

Royal giving you Baton Pass right off the bat instead of you having to unlock it through a Confidant alone is a total game changer.

SunBroDave · Oct 21, 2022

Steam Deck pulling 1440p/45 fps locked in this game. Looks sublime.

A simple change with a profound impact

Lobster Roll · Oct 21, 2022

Feels truly unbelievable to see this game on my Series X. Seeing it at 60fps and on my C9 too ... *chef's kiss*. Time for my third playthrough lol.

I've completed it on the PS4 on my ancient LCD. This is crushed, the PS4 wasn't.

I hit start to unpause because i hit start to pause but apparently that just skips so i also skipped multiple cutscenes.

I did this too. Hit L3 to see (and hear) a replay of those messages.

tobyish · Oct 21, 2022

So, no HDR in general and no Auto HDR on XSX?

Any word on Dualsense features?
(trying to decide which console version to go for)
