[Archived] Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Graphics Settings

[TrixNiiSama]

Ooookay, let's go!

After XC1DE and XC2/Torna, I bring you... ¡DunArd's preset for Xenoblade Chronicles 3!

This preset is mostly recommended to play in portable mode, since you have to use ReverseNX to put dock mode when you're using it in portable and the settings have been optimized so that the game works well overcloking GPU to 460MHz and looks good on Switch.

Features:
- Better shadows and lights
- Antialiasing revamped, now more efficient
- Slightly better resolution
- LOD greatly increased
- More real vegetation
- Performance between 26 and 30 FPS in large areas

Instructions:
- Unzip and drop Atmosphere folder in the MicroSD root.
- You need to download ReverseNX and put XC3 profile in docked mode to enjoy the resolution optimizations
- You need sys-clk to overclock GPU to 460MHz and CPU to 1582MHz

Direct comparison screenshots (more coming in the next days):

What did you change to have a better LOD and more vegetation ?

It would be nice if you can share Json file of your config

I need to play more to see the difference with other config but thank you so much!!!

Did you put the resolution at the maximum ? If not could you make a maximum res version for those who don't care about fps?

(for switch users because every one seems to work on emulation )

Principally resolution, it happens also in XC2, when you increase the internal resolution it enhances the overall quality: vegetation, terrain, LOD...

Yep, I'll do it tomorrow, I recently finished working and now I want to relax playing

Yep, I have prepared a configuration mainly to play with higher GPU clocks or with lower performance, I'll upload it tomorrow

Ooook, allons-y !

Après XC1DE et XC2/Torna, je vous propose... ¡ Le preset de DunArd pour Xenoblade Chronicles 3 !

Ce préréglage est principalement recommandé pour jouer en mode portable, car vous devez utiliser ReverseNX pour mettre le mode dock lorsque vous l'utilisez en portable et les paramètres ont été optimisés pour que le jeu fonctionne bien en overclockant le GPU à 460 MHz et ait l ' air bien sur Switch .

Traits:
- Meilleures ombres et lumières
- Antialiasing revampé, maintenant plus efficace
- Résolution légèrement meilleure
- LOD considérablement augmenté
- Plus de vraie végétation
- Performances entre 26 et 30 FPS dans les grandes surfaces

Des instructions :
- Décompressez et déposez le dossier Atmosphère dans la racine MicroSD.
- Vous devez télécharger ReverseNX et mettre le profil XC3 en mode ancré pour profiter des optimisations de résolution
- Vous avez besoin de sys-clk pour overclocker le GPU à 460 MHz et le CPU à 1582 MHz

you're the man ! many thanks for your amaing work ! can you also make a config for switch docked with maximum settings for stable 30 fps and oc setting ? many thanks in advance, hace a nice relax time you derserve it

Nothing work for me i dont understand why... put the file un the Sd card, reverse nx docked, sysclk oc... no better resolution no sharper...

Thanks to masagrator.. Great thread.

Had a lot of trouble the last day getting a stable yuzu experience.. so far running quality mod with 60fps cheat I found on a certain youtube channel on EA 2862 with no more freezes using the 30/60 fps toggle. Overall a decent enough experience restarting after about 2 hours to prevent memory leak issue..


Thank you to the contributors here.

Doesn't the 60 fps cheat ruin cutscenes and make people move at double speed?

Thank you to the contributors here.

can you guide about how to do 60fps and what are the contents of quality mod?

may be pm or share youtube channel link

 

[xziino]

Besides this forum is there a discord server for all this? And if so could any1 maybe drop an invite?

Furthermore, anyone got a decent 2x setup for yuzu? That would be very appreciated as well!

Waiting for that, I want to try it, thanks

never mind found it
i am using x3 res and 60fps mod getting flat 60 fps so far
testing x4 res now

 

[Tanzeel]

i have tested both x3 and x4 res mod with 60 fps
x3 i am getting flat 60fps in fighting and open world
x4 i am getting 57-60fps
if any one want i can upload the mods here.
using yuzu opengl res scale x1 gpu acc high

Can you share it with settings in emulator please? Did you have also a shader pack? Thanks

Thank you so much. Is good to see there are people who cares about the switch and not only emulators.

Your config is definitely the best fps performing config out there and cutscene works like a charm

But the config from ShinRaikdou that cobjak shared with us on page 15 is sharper (resolution better)

So now if someone can combine these twos, that would be the ultimate config

 

[Tanzeel]

no i have no shader pack
settings everything default
just check yuzu res scaler should be x1 720p

I've been experimenting with configs on emulators and discovered some weird things.
Firstly resolution parameters don't work at all! Simply disabling "ColReduction" bumps resolution significantly on emulators but actual resolution settings don't do anything. Simply set emulator to 1X resolution and test configs, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, they all look the same. I didn't try going below 1.0 so not sure if lowering res maybe works. Also I noticed that with "ColReduction"disabled emulators can actually use their scaling options, otherwise it's just a blocky mess. Still not perfect as there are artifacts, I'd say 4X is the one with least issues but it's insanely demanding. Also I noticed that Ryujinx fares better at upscaling.
And one more, regardless of config settings cutscenes always go back to 720p, even with "ColReduction" disabled. Which is a bummer since game looks pretty good otherwise. Cutscenes also scale flawlessly using emulators scaling options.
Basically "ColReduction" is a cursed setting and I would really like to know what it actually does. And if anyone can confirm my speculations it would be nice.

Many thanks i will give a try
