Game Features
Make your approach: Draw your weapon when encountering an enemy to seamlessly enter battle. Make your approach to attack automatically, then harness powerful abilities called Arts to strive for victory. Freely swap the character you are controlling to fit your combat style and strategy.
Be smart. Use Arts! Special attacks known as Arts are unique to your character’s Class and their Ouroboros form. Keep proper positioning in mind to maximize their power, letting some strikes deal higher damage or apply debuffs.
Unleash a powerful Chain Attack: You can link multiple attacks with stunning Chain Attacks to devastate enemies. Continue landing successive blows to unleash a massive strike of your choosing.
Tailor your party: Customize your characters with Classes, Arts, gems, and accessories at any time to create a party that suits your style and needs. Max out a Class Rank to earn its powerful Master Art.
Pair up and fight as one: By joining together in battle via Interlinking, specific pairs of characters in your party can fuse to become a fiercely powerful creature known as an Ouroboros. Change who’s in charge to modify the form and Arts of the Ouroboros to fit your approach.
Strike an unlikely alliance: These fate-defying soldiers on opposite sides of an unending conflict must shelve their mutual distrust and work together to learn the truths of their world.
Explore a rich and massive world: Forge your own path across stunning sci-fi landscapes brimming with discoveries. Scour the world to find new locations, items, treasures, and unique monsters. Along your journey, you may even notice a few familiar sights…

Update v1.1.0 (70 MB) applied over; Wave 1 DLC (Additional Items + Color varirations of outfits) is included and activated
Ryujinx (v1.1.203.0, August 2, 2022, 43 MB), Yuzu EA (v2887, August 2, 2022, 59 MB), Yuzu Mainline (v1119, August 1, 2022, 107 MB) and older Yuzu Mainline (v988, April 17, 2022, 113 MB)
Test all four emus and use the one which performs better on your system
Switch Firmware v14.1.1 (321 MB) added as a requirement for Ryujinx
Playing XC3 for long hours on Yuzu might make it crash due to possible RAM leaks. It is highly suggested to keep saving your in-game progress whenever possible
Changing emu settings of any 1 Yuzu emu will permanently change settings across all available Yuzu emus. So tread carefully!
2 essential mods added and activated for all emus: 60 FPS and ResQuality
To enable the 60FPS mod in-game, press [L+A] buttons together. This mod may crash your game during cutscenes, so it’s recommended to skip the cutscenes or disable the mod by pressing [L+B] buttons together
Resolution scale for XC3 does not work properly and it causes performance/graphic issues in-game. To fix this, use preset mods from “_2X-Res Preset Mod” or “_4X-Res Preset Mod” folders. These preset mods also disable motion blur and dynamic resolution & fix color reduction, thereby making the game look better
You can easily apply any of the provided mods by simply launching the emu of your choice, then right-click the game shortcut and select the “open mods location” option. Copy and paste your desired preset mod folder in the file explorer window that appears after
To boost performance on Yuzu emu, as soon as you get into the game press ‘ctrl + u’ to remove fps lock and subsequently unlock more FPS. (You can see the unlocked status next to your FPS counter)
To boost performance on Ryu emu, disable the V-sync option either before boot up or while playing to see the FPS difference. (Screen tearing may happen, so beware)
100% Lossless, but NOT MD5 Perfect: encryption was removed for better repack size
NOTHING ripped, NOTHING re-encoded
Selective Download feature: yoy may skip downloading and installing of either English or Japanese voiceovers; make sure you have the downloaded one enabled in game settings before starting the story
Smaller archive size (compressed from cumulative 15.6 to 8.3~9 GB, depending on selected components)
Installation takes 5-10 minutes
After-install integrity check so you could make sure that everything installed properly
HDD space after installation: 14.7 GB (17.4 GB during installation)
Language can be changed in emulators settings
Use older build of Ryujinx from “_Ryujinx Windows 7” folder to play on Windows 7, if the included build doesn’t work for you
At least 2 GB of free RAM (inc. virtual) required for installing this repack

Precautions and recommended settings

Always recommend using magnet links to download games for faster and more stable speeds. Recommend pure, open-source, ad-free download software (such as Gopeed or BitComet).
Before running the game, evaluate the game’s system hardware requirements. If your computer only has 2G of RAM, you basically cannot expect to run large next-gen games smoothly.
Extracting high-compression packages consumes a lot of memory. You must enable virtual memory and manually set it to 1 to 1.5 times the physical memory.
Example: If the computer has 8G RAM, suggest increasing to 12GB – 16GB; if 16G RAM, set to 24GB (both initial and maximum values fill in 24576 MB).
When extracting the game, the hard drive needs 2-3 times the free space of the game installation package. For example, if the package is 10G, the target drive needs at least 20-30G of free space.
The hard disk partition format must be NTFS. The outdated FAT32 format cannot write single files larger than 4GB, which will cause the extraction to freeze.
During game installation, temporarily disable Windows Defender or third-party antivirus software, or add the “game download directory” and “target installation directory” to the antivirus exclusion list.
If the computer has less than 4G RAM, or high-end computers frequently report extraction errors, be sure to check “Limit installer to 2 GB of RAM usage” on the first interface during installation. This slightly limits extraction speed but greatly improves stability and solves 90% of memory overflow errors.
When running setup.exe, always right-click the icon and select “Run as administrator” to ensure the installer has full system read/write permissions.
The absolute path of the game installation cannot contain any Chinese characters, special symbols, or extra spaces.
Correct example: “D:\Games\Steam”
Wrong example: “D:\游戏\赛博朋克 2077”
During the extraction process, the CPU and memory are pushed to the limit. At this time, strictly prohibit playing other large games, background rendering, or opening many browser tabs, otherwise it can easily cause resource contention leading to instant errors (such as Unarc.dll) or even a blue screen.
At the checkbox interface at the end of installation, be sure to check the installation of DirectX and Visual C++ Redistributable (runtime library suite). Many players successfully extract but cannot open the game (popping up 0xc000007b or missing various .dll files) because of missing these basic runtimes.
If the installation completes smoothly but double-clicking the game icon has no response, 99% of the time it is because Windows Defender silently quarantined or deleted the “crack patch” (such as steam_api64.dll) in the game directory right after extraction. Go to the “Protection history” in Windows Security and select “Restore and allow” for that file.
After encountering an Unarc.dll error, never download this DLL file alone from the internet and place it in the system drive. The game compression mechanism uses highly customized dedicated libraries; generic DLLs downloaded online are useless and can easily infect the system.
If you have strictly followed all the above configurations and requirements and still stubbornly get an Unarc.dll error during installation, you basically can only consider reinstalling a pure version of the system.
If it still does not work, then consider installing on another machine.
