Integrated graphics processors are not officially supported by Atlus and may not be able to play in-game cutscenes at full speed.
There are a few possible fixes for this issue:
Install WMP
Force dGPU
Atlus recommends installing Windows Media Player if you are having trouble with cutscene playback.
- Open the Windows Start Menu.
- Type "apps and features" and press Enter to open the Apps and features page in the Settings application.
- Select optional features below the second "Apps and features" header.
- Select add a feature at the top of the Optional features page.
- Type "Windows Media Player" into the search bar. If WMP is not installed, it should appear in the list below.
- Check the box for Windows Media Player, then click Install (1) at the bottom of the window.
- Once Windows has finished downloading and installing WMP, restart your PC.
If you are using Windows 10 N or Windows 10 KN, search for and install the Media Feature Pack as well using the same process.
If you have a laptop with both an Nvidia graphics card and integrated graphics, Windows might be choosing the weak Intel graphics automatically to save power.
- Right-click on the Desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel.
- Select Manage 3D settings on the left panel.
- Select the Program Settings tab.
- Click Add and select Persona 4 Golden from the list of applications.
