Man, this game was such a disappointment. Major downgrade from FX3.

I'll definitely try this out. Do you need to overclock at all to keep it stable?

I didn't OC at all during gameplay, it lags a bit during menu, so OC something in the middle to make it run smooth.

Wait Pinball FX3 was first and followed by Pinball FX? Those great pinball games, but naming scheme they have is such a pain.

I like Zen Pinball 2 on vita better anyway, it has Ninja Gaiden and Street Fighter tables

Your patch actually works great!
And it makes it clear that whatever it is with the Unreal engine and the way it handles textures. The textures are all dithered and they shimmer as the camera moves. And it's clear they just slapped AA over the game to hide this. That's why FX is such a blurry mess.

Oh boy, the resolution and image quality of this game is certainly one of the worst I've seen on Switch. Will try this as well.
Edit: All right, been trying it. AA is gone, but in portable mode, the resolution hasn't changed. Can someone replicate this?

Yeah, for some reason the resolution in handheld is stuck in default, no way to change it via editing ini files, the only way to improve the image quality in handheld is use reversenx.

@cucholix please i beg you, could you patch naruto ultimate ninja storm 4 to run at 720p on handheld mode?

 

[Instandhaltung]

All right, thanks! And thanks for your patches

Is it possible then to make docked a fixed 720p so reversenx docked in handheld will keep 720p?

I want to give FX another go cus the marvel tables released

What's the native res in handheld anyway? 540p?

Update 1.0.3 is out.

Seems like they disabled AA and game tries to increase the resolution. But performance is now wildly unstable and the ball renders at a crazy low resolution

I know dumb q but, do you add this to "contents" folder of atmos, like cheats or somwhere else? Thank you btw!

Yeah you add it to contents > Pinball FX TitleID folder.

But try the new update that came out today without the mod. It looks ok now.

There's supposed to be an official patch coming to the Switch on the 12th.

1.0.3 released today and has noticeable difference. Unless there's another one coming?

Does it include slots for the South Park and Williams tables? Because they suggested that patch was going to be notable.

From Zen: "Nintendo Switch graphical update will arrive this with patch, all tables should look as intended starting October 12."

It should be more than just "noticeable" if I am reading it correctly.

Damn! I hope they do include the South Park table. That was one of the best tables from fx2 I miss the most.

It's supposed to be two south park tables. One is a Butters themed one.
