ROM Hack WIP The Witcher 3 Enhanced Settings mod

[NotACat]

Probably because on stock handheld clocks game can disable AA in heavy areas, which is visible for some people, so they prefer to turn off AA completely.

Yeah that sucks. It's so annoying for me because the FPS was drop already and then it turn off TAA- which may improve 1 fps in those situations, which doesn't help (seriously? when I tested, those 25fps places will reach 26 with TAA off - lags the same) and sudden jaggies just in caught in my eyes

 

[NextChallenger]

Any chance it may become possible to use FXAA or some other post process AA instead?

 

[NotACat]

Why would you use sharpening with AA off? That's overkill. AA on + sharpening on, or AA off + sharpening off, would both look better than AA off + sharpening on.

AA off with sharpening Low is the option for me (sharpness look very subtle and might only have more visible difference in Kaer Morhen, don't know why but seem every other post-process effects are most visible here too)

In PC version, the post-process AA option is something like SMAA, and TAA can't be disabled but it's very very good and no blurry in high res 1080p, but the AA option masagrator added here - was pulled from rendering settings, not post-process group and I think it also included both the AA option of PC ver + TAA to make image that blurry

There isnt more options we can mess around in the ini.file?just asking.

There are, but from what I tested so far nothing more was working. I didn't update spoiler "What is not working" from 0.2 update

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

It would be nice to find how to make trees and grass not static, but I can't find any clue how this is blocked

 

[Loonelywolf]

Theres no option for that but there are mods that increase or give it a more realistic look...ill have a look around on nexus and see if some have ini options for that...

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I remenber you have a option on pc called "speed tree"...but i dont if that does anithing...

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Also have you tried Mipmap Bias,or we dont have that option?

Iirc you have asked me about bias and I responded that it crashes game when changing value in-game.
There are SpeedTree lines, but I don't think they do anything that is in my interest.

More realistic look are probably ReShade mods, that are not compatible with Switch.

 

[Loonelywolf]

Sorry its true...i know that they have taken out some things from the game...but i will check pc options on inis and see...

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I can trie some mods and see...ive seen on nexus mods for weather that does impact tree movement...and it isnt with reshade...or with textures...

Btw guys, dunno if you're aware, there's also a mod that restores high quality audio to the game by using files from the PC version:

We know that this is possible from day one. It's in the Witcher 3 General Hacking.

You can make a video of how to install this mod, because I've done everything here followed what you said and nothing has changed, I use the unlock sxos, if I can and thank you

 

[carles91]

did you two changed the folder name to title ID of your game region? most people skip this step. You can check your game title ID with Check Point, Goldleaf... for example I changed that folder name to "0100BFE00E9CA000" for my US version

Witcher 3 has easy access to settings files, so I'm trying to check slowly what is working and what is not or it's broken. Main Menu has prerendered video, so testing in main menu won't make a difference.

Spoiler: What was added

- Bloom
- Sharpening
- Depth of Field (both gameplay and cutscenes)
- Light Shafts
- Underwater Effects
- Foliage Visibility Range (it doesn't change ring size, because this is adjusted dynamically)
- Water Quality (which is just disabling/enabling (default) physics simulation when swimming, changing tesselation factor doesn't work)
- Anti-aliasing (which is technically TAA, but it doesn't have any string related to it, so I've used antialiasing string)

Screens:

6. Off: View attachment 182420
   On (Default): View attachment 182419

Spoiler: What was changed

- Right Stick Sensitivity values from 0.5-1.5 to 0.01-1.5

Spoiler: What is broken

- Resolution [there are two settings: framebuffer resolution and rendering resolution. Changing rendering resolution makes glitched output, changing framebuffer resolution displaces camera and makes postprocess layers aligned incorrectly. Changing them both to the same resolution moves camera to wrong position)
- LOD - changing it makes no visible difference, but going too high will crash game

Spoiler: What is not working

- VSync
- Shadows Presets
- Left Stick Sensitivity
- Adding more values to Autosave Interval
- ShowGPUCounters
- MSAA
- MotionBlurRotationTreshold
- MaxTextureAnizotropy
- SSAO options
- Chromatic Abberation
- Vignette
- Soft Light options
- Billboards (some category of shaders)
- Rain options
- Fog and Mist options

Changing some settings is not working because they are dynamically adjusted by exefs and config values are ignored.

And we have many more settings from rendering, HUD, etc. Sadly I can't add my own strings, so settings that are not mentioned in localization files are showed as ## + category + my string
It should work with all game updates. You need only to change folder name "010039400E8D6000" (which is titleid of Polish release) to titleid of your version (game has 9 different region releases!).

List of all region releases:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WnFOSgF170mJKTOBVPYggKhrp0ljev5UDy4OWvWMTII/edit?usp=sharing

You need to paste that folder to:

atmosphere/titles
or
reinx/titles
or
sxos/titles

And Restart Switch.

Also you can check topic The Witcher 3 60 FPS and Dynamic Resolution Tweaks
https://gbatemp.net/threads/the-witcher-3-60-fps-and-dynamic-resolution-tweaks.550211/

could you edit your post and put this in somewhere that people will always see?

"It should work with all game updates. You need only to change folder name "010039400E8D6000" (which is titleid of Polish release) to titleid of your version (game has 9 different region releases!)."

So manny people didn't read carefully - like just skip all the texts and go for the install steps

People doesn't even read where they should Create topics or add noob questions. If reading is too much for them, then don't help.

I've added INSTRUCTIONS in place where they should to start using brain.

Masagrator, is it possible to alter the FOV? Feels a bit too high in handheld mode

Looks like it's not possible on Switch without scripts.
