  • 30fps mods (2 mods):
    • One with the film grain effect/chromatic aberration enabled
    • One with those effects disabled
  • 60fps mods (2 mods):
    • One with the film grain effect/chromatic aberration enabled
    • One with those effects disabled
  • Texture replacement mod (1 mod):
    • Replaces the textures from the Switch version with the superior PC textures
    • Link for this mod
• Compatible with version 1.2 of the game

2. Mod Changelog:

Spoiler: 02/10/2021:

• Slightly reduced the sharpness of the image
• Game FOV reduced from 100 to 94 (The character became a little less "crumbly" in motion at low resolution)
• The quality of vegetation was reduced to the original (Better performance / resolution in the forest)
• The quality of the volumetric fog was improved even more
• All screenshots updated
• Added mod option without disabling film grain and chromatic aberration
• Added mod option at 60FPS

Spoiler: 02/14/2021:

• Added texture mod

​

3. Changes made by the Mods:

Spoiler: 30FPS Mod Changes:

- Slightly sharpened image [Portable / Dock]

- Min. dynamic threshold Resolution - 50% [Portable / Dock]

- Max. dynamic threshold resolution increased from 66% to 100% [Portable / Dock]

- Game Viewport increased from 92% to 94% [Portable / Dock] (It turns out that we have a max. dynamic resolution 94% and min. 44%, Render resolution: 720p - portable, 1080p - dock)

- Decreased Depth Bias of dynamic shadows from light sources [Portable / Dock] (Now the shadow from the character from the light source will start from the boots, not from the knees)

- Increased the ratio of object pixels to shadow texels [Portable / Dock] (This makes the shadows clearer)

- Increased resolution of dynamic shadows [Portable / Dock]

- Improved the quality of volumetric fog [Portable / Dock]

- Enabled depth of field [Portable / Dock]

- Disabled chromatic aberration [Portable / Dock]

- Disabled image grain [Portable / Dock]

- Filtering textures changed from linear to anisotropic 4x [Portable / Dock]

Spoiler: 60FPS Mod Changes:

- Frame limit increased from 30 to 60 [Portable / Dock]

- Slightly sharpened image [Portable / Dock]

- Min. dynamic threshold Resolution - 50% [Portable / Dock]

- Max. dynamic threshold resolution increased from 66% to 100% [Portable / Dock]

- Game Viewport reduced from 92% to 84% [Portable / Dock] (It turns out that we have a max. dynamic resolution 84% and min. 34% There is not enough power for a higher resolution, so it makes no sense to set it higher. This is a plus, TAA anti-aliasing will "crumble" less Render resolution: 720p - portable, 1080p - dock)

- Reduced Depth Bias of dynamic shadows from light sources [Portable / Dock] (Now the shadow from the character under the light source will start from the boots, and not from the knees)

- Slightly increased the ratio of object pixels to shadow texels [Portable / Dock] (This makes the shadows clearer)

- Slightly reduced the draw distance of dynamic shadows [Portable / Dock]

- Slightly reduced bloom quality [Portable / Dock]

- Disabled chromatic aberration [Portable / Dock]

- Disabled graininess [Portable / Dock]

- Changed texture filtering from linear to anisotropic 4x [Portable / Dock]

Spoiler: Texture Mod:

• Replaced all (or almost all) textures of objects, decals, particles, effects and characters
  
• Improved quality of baked shadows
• Textures are taken from the PC version of the game

4. Recommended Overclock Settings:

Spoiler: 30FPS Mod:

• Portable Mode - overclock to at least 460 GPU / 1600 RAM , the higher the overclocking, the higher the resolution.
• Docked Mode - +/- 614 GPU / 1600 RAM is sufficient for maximum resolution...was not tested in the docking station (overclock to maximum?)

Spoiler: 60FPS Mod:

• Portable Mode - overclock to at least 1581 CPU / 614 GPU /1600 RAM
• Docked Mode - I did not test it in the docking station (overclock to maximum?)

Spoiler: Texture Mod:

• None needed per se, but the resolution will be lowered greatly if you use textures and no overclock. So it's best to use the overclocking settings of the 30/60fps mods (depending on if you dock or not) if you use this, even if you don't use those other mods.

​

5. Installation:

• Unpack the 010097100EDD6000 folder from the archive and put it along the atmosphere / contents (or sxos/titles)

Not by me, thank ecl0674. I just posted here because the other site is hard to register on for most users.

 

[Fadi5555]

Please can we get the same treatment for Final fantasy 12?

 

[jnl1]

so the 30fps mod is clearly intended to get a visual upgrade whereas the 60 fps mod slightly improves the visuals but mainly aims to reach 60 fps, am I correct?

 

[Chrisssj2]

Damn difeference is huge!

There is an instructions part of the post, but I recommend using the simple mod manager to use mods with several versions (https://gbatemp.net/threads/simplemodmanager-a-mod-manager-for-your-switch.548658/)

What is this site? It is difficult to register only because of the language?

I know he is russian, but I want to see all of his patches, and also I want to know is there are patches not here.

NVM found it and I already in.

 

[RyoX9]

[burhansalih]

30fps with no grain mod is excellent

I'm curious. Have you swizzled all those textures or just copy-pasted it?

This is original files from PC, dont know why, but it works. Very unusual for UE4.

This is interesting. Do you know if original textures are also not swizzled?

 

[ecl0674]

Dont know

 

[masagrator]

Dont know

Can you send me a sample (uexp + uasset)? I can check it.
