Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter official cover art

Performance and display settings

Quick answer

Steam 1.05 makes the SSR Off setting apply after a restart. Retail 1.04 adds Horizontal Camera Auto-Adjustment on Steam; Falcom lists v1.04 for PS5 and Steam with Switch delivery pending. Steam’s older 1.03.2 startup/upscaling fixes and demo 1.00.2 monitor fix remain edition-specific. No frame-rate gain has been established.

SSR Off now applies on Steam 1.05

Before 1.05, SSR stayed on even after you set it to Off in graphics options and restarted. If you turned it off for performance on Steam, update, restart and recheck the setting. The note gives no frame-rate figure, so any gain on your PC is unmeasured, and Kingy has not tested it.

Start with the published Steam baseline

Minimum requirements are not a promise of identical frame pacing on every machine. Start with the in-game performance preset, then change one setting at a time.

Fix monitor selection before chasing graphics

[Official Steam demo note] Version 1.00.2 addresses startup ignoring the selected monitor. Console display behavior is not inferred from that PC-specific announcement.

For the full game, use the retail 1.03.2 startup and upscaling fixes. These notes do not name every affected upscaler or prescribe a particular preset; compare the same scene and display setup when reporting a remaining issue.

0:56–1:09PC Options: Display Mode, Monitor and frame rate rows
  1. Update the Steam demo or full game before troubleshooting an old display symptom.
  2. Confirm the intended monitor in Options and at startup.
  3. Check resolution, refresh rate, window mode and controller focus.
  4. Record the selected monitor and the one actually used if the issue returns.

Current retail camera option in 1.04

The October 5 Steam update adds Horizontal Camera Auto-Adjustment to Options. Falcom’s manual lists the camera correction change for PS5 and Steam, with Switch delivery planned later when checked October 8. Check your installed version before looking for the option. Neither notice establishes its default, a frame-rate improvement or a separate native Switch 2 update; Kingy has not tested it.

Keep console claims platform-specific

The full game is listed for PS5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 and Steam. A Switch demo running on Switch 2 through backward compatibility does not establish the native Switch 2 edition’s resolution or frame rate.

Record platform, display mode, version and whether the problem reproduces after a restart. Do not turn one console’s behavior into a global release note.

  1. Check the platform’s own update status.
  2. Capture the current display and control settings.
  3. Test the same scene after a full restart.
  4. Link the result to a platform-specific report or official notice.
