ROM Hack RELEASE Crysis: Remastered graphics config files

[Deleted member 323844]

can you post the file?

Of course.

[cucholix]

Of course.

Oh, yeah, I already tried those mods but I'm not convinced with FXAA or TAA antialiasing methods, they look worse than default antialising. You can try those by adding only the exefs folder, it's not necesary change my mod.

What? Default is TAA

 

[cucholix]

What? Default is TAA

I'm using @Froll07 posted file https://gbatemp.net/threads/crysis-remastered-graphics-config-files.570448/page-3#post-9146245
It's using TAA and no blur

Default AA

Patchnote:
Update 08/27/20:
The config has been updated to version 1.1:
- Fixed errors in the config
- Reduced the range of drawing vehicles (still higher than the original)
- Reduced light rendering distance to standard value
- Minimized (maybe completely) jerky water reflections
- The number of dyn stages has been increased. shadows
- Reduced the range of drawing the din cascades. shadows (still higher than the original)
- Slightly increased the distance of drawing water caustics
- Various other changes


version 1.1 demolishes some of the changes that I added here.
I described to him a recommendation for future changes that I use myself.

Realy?? This settings not PC vs Switch XD

Will it still have that blurry draw distance look

 

[Carsonline]

Man I wonder if we will ever find a way lot of that 45fps lock

 

[Kioku]

Wow you've been on this site since 2013... Lol I feel like I should honor you

That's entirely random...

Ive been using the cucholix config file, do you guys think we should OC the switch for it?

Is there any point in using the config file along with ReverseNX for docked graphics?

 

[Carsonline]

Crysis Balance v0.2 mod

Base cfg. from Froll07, optimized to keep a stable framerate. If you don't care about framerate you would want to try Froll07 .cfg with maximized settings.

Features:
-Decreased e_ViewDistRatioVegetation to 30 to avoid vegetation blink when viewed from binoculars/scope, help to decrease workload too.
-Increased shadow distance, and quality
-Decreased shadow jittering
-Increased shadow transition (avoid shadow pop-in)
-Fluid water animation, thanks to Froll07
-Increased water effects, tesselation
-Increased vegetation draw distance
-Increased object draw distance
-More adjustments to keep framerate at ~30 fps locked
-Adjusment in memory pool for shadow cache, thanks to Froll07 and 4pda forums
-Minor adjustments to avoid visual bugs

Will using this even with max oc make tv mode not go to 900p much or at all?

I’ve not noticed difference between handheld and docked mode regarding resolution, you can easily check with reversenx-realtime, the only thing that changes is that in handheld mode the antialiasing is slightly toned down, and there’s less vegetation and less complex shadows. Although Crytek said docked mode runs in 900p, what I’ve experienced so far it’s running at 720p in both handheld and docked

I saw a video saying handheld stays at 720p about 90% of the time while docked stays near or at 900p, about 80%. With the config u made plus the 200mhz overclock from docked Ill say it should be around 800p. Thanks for the config, it looks so more cleaner and clear

BTW Can we downgrade shadows by switching off Sparse Voxel Octree Global Illumination (e_svoTI in configs). To make the game looks like old crysis for better performance and max graphics?

 

[cucholix]

has someone figure out how avoid the decals blinks or dissapear when seen from a near distance?

I dabbled with the tricks, the game has the ability to run only with AA or FXAA.

For people that want start with modding graphics here are graphics config files available for Switch.

You can edit them with just Notepad++.

Dynamic Resolution is not available in config files from what I can see (similar situation to Witcher 3).

in console_nx.cfg you have few lines starting with

--sys_spec_

This sets some settings that can be found in cvargroups.

F.e.

--sys_spec_ObjectDetail=2

Open file sys_spec_ObjectDetail.cfg and check for lines under [default] and [2] for used settings.
[2] overwrites [default]

Files are packed to correct folder tree. Just after editing copy folder 0100E66010ADE000 to:
atmosphere/titles (Atmosphere 0.9.4 and older)
or
atmosphere/contents (Atmosphere 0.10.1+)
or
reinx/titles
or
sxos/titles

I'm planning also to check if I can make efefs patch to lock game to true 30 FPS. For now you can change in console_nx.cfg

sys_maxfps = 30

to

sys_maxfps = 29

And you will have 30.3 FPS. Changing it to 60 results in max ~45 FPS.

Is there a way to lock the game at 900p or 1080 -> (switch probably couldn't handle 1080p with max oc anyways) Oh wait you can't disable dynamic resolution I'm I right?

There are no settings in config file, so not this way.

I think that would be perhaps too much for a portable handset ...
