[Archived] Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Graphics Settings

[redflamingolingo]

So I have the resmod the latest yuzu early access and the 1.1.0 update. Game runs fine but does the Res scaling not work at all? Any setting above 1x has artifacts everywher

So I've managed to find ideal combo for emulation.

Latest Yuzu EA with patch 1.1.0 - overall slowdowns, drops fps to 17-19, especially in cutscenes.

Installed Riujinx 1.1.0.279 (Vulkan version) - works flawlessly with 1.1.0 patch, Vulkan + with 4X res. & 16X AA (res & AA in graphics settings, patches not working), stable 30FPS! Almost no lags, played 2hrs (once experienced slow-down, but find it happens in the moment then Memreduct cleans RAM).

I have 32gb RAM, i7-10700k overclocked to 4.8ghz, and a 3090 ti.

Using the latest Vulkan build, patched, with Ryujinx is a stuttering mess for me. Vulkan does, however, not have the memory leak issue at all. This is on any res with the upscaler. Not to mention there are artifacts with the upscaling that aren't as present with Yuzu.

Yuzu is giving me a pretty stutter-free experience, locked 30 fps.

Wild how different everyone's experiences are lol

Increasing resolution to 2x, 3x, or 4x makes a huge difference in cutscenes. Like a huge difference. I know people stated they are pre-rendered, which makes so sense because cutscenes are definitely impacted by the emulator resolution scaler.

I believe there are some pre-rendered cutscenes, but most are in-engine, so those getting affected by resolution makes sense.

Is there any res mod for update 1.1.0 ?

here I'll show you the difference between the one I made that I mentioned earlier and this "max" one

mine is the top one

Can you share your config?

Yea, the opening scene with the clock is definitely pre-rendered. Someone mentioned there are over 200 pre-rendered cutscenes in the game.

So far, the majority of the cutscenes, even the really intense, high-budget ones, are almost all rendered in-engine.

In the Digital Fundry's video,they says mono use the new up-sampling to achieve the high resolution,but the original image is low resolution,maybe that is why the image is also not clear by closeing the dynamic resolution
my english is poor

 

[deathblade200]

Thanks. can you give me a max max config, a reason to make my switch run at 921 mhz gpu?

Can you share your config?

all I did is turned off all blur, TMAA, AA, and set resolution to 1.0 so as I said most of the settings they claimed changed things did jack shit if you want my actual file to test yourself https://www.mediafire.com/file/7pddqlosyjbinzn/lib_nx.bin/file

The top one seems to be 720p (or very close to 720p). I Can't see other differences.

thats my point most of their changes did nothing

That was my point too. People that experienced differences probably are due to the things I listed

The tmaa can be disabled in the config

Some cutscenes are prerenderd, some are real time.

AFAIK all cutscenes with heavy chromatic aberration near left / right edge of screen are prerenderd.

Game only stutters for me when building shaders, other than that perfect 30 fps. On Yuzu. However my config I used to play all of XBC2 looks MILES better than any ResMod for XBC3 yet, and no Vulkan so shader building is slow AF and can't use FSR which helps a huge amount. Definitely need a emulator update to get Vulkan working with XBC3 and then the game will run near perfect, just need a good ResMod.

Dunno about his switch configs but the emu one definitely looks better then every other config i've tried.

yeah and those ones won't work on switch due to one setting "ColReduction" if its set to false it will crash the game which wasn't the case for past games

In files there is also a file called "lib_pc.bin" that is not used by executable, but if anybody is curious what devs used to play it on PC, those are differences:

red_Auto = true -> false
tmaaSharpness_5 = 0.9 -> 0.7
tmaaSharpness_Hnd_5 = 1.3 -> 0.4
tmaaNewUpScale = true -> false

If anyone wants it I compiled those settings into a config. Additionally I also disabled dynamic resolution. Comes in two versions, Switch and Emu, only difference is that Emu Version also has ColReduction disabled so it can scale properly on emulators.
To install on Yuzu or Ryujinx just drop Config folder into your emulators mod location, on Switch install as usual.

setting resolution to 1.0 means that the dynamic res is disabled?

also, is your patch for ver. 1.1.0 ?

How do i enable them in emu?

the configs arn't for certain versions thats the ips job. and as far as I've seen it turns off dynamic res I also set red_auto to false but not sure if that actually does anything
