- Once done, make sure to reboot your computer to change the effects.
If you are experiencing problems with your graphics driver, you can consider updating it manually by downloading the latest version from the official website of your graphics card manufacturer. If you use an Nvidia graphics card, you can update the GeForce Experience app by visiting their official site. For AMD graphics card users, you can download the latest driver version by visiting the AMD website.
3. Switch Between Display Modes
You can switch between fullscreen borderless and windowed bordered display modes directly from the in-game settings menu. This feature is helpful as it can improve the game’s performance based on your screen resolution and PC specifications. It’s definitely worth trying out, as some players have found it to be beneficial.
4. Run the game as an administrator
To avoid user account control-related privilege issues, you should run the Persona 3 Reload executable game file as an administrator. To do this:
- Right-click on the Persona 3 Reload exe shortcut file on your PC.
- Now, select Properties > Click on the Compatibility tab.
- Make sure to click on the Run this program as an administrator checkbox to checkmark it.
- Click on Apply and select OK to save changes.
5. Close Background Running Tasks
Sometimes, unnecessary background running tasks or programs can consume more CPU or Memory resources on the system, which may cause crashes, lags, stutters, FPS drops, etc. To do that:
- Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys to open up the Task Manager.
- Now, click on the Processes tab > to select tasks that are unnecessarily running in the background and consuming enough system resources.
- Click on End Task to close it > Do the same steps for all unnecessary tasks.
- Once done, restart your system to apply changes.
6. Stop Background Downloads
It’s quite possible that you may be attempting to download or install updates for other games simultaneously, regardless of the client you are using. It is advisable to pause or stop any other background downloads while launching and playing Persona 3 Reload. Once you’re done playing the game, you can then resume downloading other games or installing patch updates.
7. Switch to Auto Settings in Video
If you haven’t succeeded in fixing the frame drop issue, then make sure to switch to auto settings in video mode by following the steps below.
- Press the Esc button on your keyboard in the gameplay.
- Now, go to the in-game Settings menu > Click on Video.
- Select Auto Settings > Resume the gameplay to cross-check whether the frame drops or lags still appear.
- If the in-game lag or frame drops remain, select All and try lowering the video settings from the game menu.
If your Windows system is set to the Balanced mode in Power Options, it may not be running at its full potential. For optimal results during intense gameplay, it’s recommended to switch to High-Performance mode. However, keep in mind that if you’re using a laptop, this will consume more battery power. To change to High-Performance mode:
- Click on the Start Menu > Type Control Panel and click on it from the search result.
- Now, go to Hardware and Sound > Select Power Options.
- Click on High Performance to select it.
- Make sure to close the window and fully shut down your computer. To do this, click on the Start Menu > Go to Power > Shut Down.
- Once your computer is turned off, you can power it on again.
