ROM Hack Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Graphics Settings

[deathblade200]

I'm using this docked config with recommended OC
I get 20fps on battle tho especially on large area battles

I hope someone can share a docked config with stable 30fps but with a lil' bit of graphical enhancement

biggest cause of that is the blur they really should have just not added blur effects at all

 

[deathblade200]

as they prefer 720p locked all the time, and ok with 20fps.

and yet you can have 720P AND 30FPS instead of going back to the days of Ocarina of Time. its literally how I've been playing it

what was sacrificed to achieve that? blur and higher OC?

this one, right? https://gbatemp.net/threads/xenoblade-chronicles-3-graphics-settings.616287/post-9897296

sacrificed? blur is horrible and I would have removed it regardless. can't stand any kind of blur regardless if its AA, TMAA, or motion blur. higher clock speeds? try LOWER clock speeds due to the graphic intense blur being killed allowing you to actually achieve 30FPS

again, people are different. you cant stand the blur, other people may like the blur, other may be indifferent.

what i meant by "sacrificed" was only purely in technical terms (e.g. things that were "on" was changed to "off"). as for lower clock speeds, i think you need to edit your post to make it clearer. as currently your post made it as if it needs an OC instead of allowing an UC.

considering the original vanilla game couldn't achieve 30FPS at max clock no I'm pretty sure my post is correct

the original config sacrificed framerate/resolution depending on the content/scene/places/what the developer intended.

and for some people, those decision did not fit their taste, thus custom configs to fit their taste.

uh what...they used a dynamic resolution which at max clock is not an issue and just comes down to the blur killing performance. regardless I never said anything about underclocking I said lower clocks which is true when max clock can't handle 30FPS when blur is on

Okay... I said that v1.2 was going to be the last update and I wasn't going to give more support, but after advancing in the game and reaching more demanding areas and receiving advice from friends I have continued to adjust the preset and finally I have found the perfect point for quality and performance in portable at least. The game now runsmostly without stuttering and maintains 30FPS at best with 460MHz, including the most demanding cutscenes, which are displayed in the best quality you can afford on Nintendo Switch. I'll update the original post and link here.

Here it is, v1.3: https://gbatemp.net/threads/xenoblade-chronicles-3-graphics-settings.616287/post-9897004

I've uploaded some videos to show the performance with the latest patch, ignore video rendering, Switch makes it very poor.

Anyone who can tell me (PM is fine) how to get ur hands on the DLC version for yuzu? I am running v1.1.0 currently with mods installed and it works fine. I just wonder how to fetch the DLC items

yeah, later on, the game got more and more demanding level design.

just make sure to test on various environments. as each area could have different types of demands (e.g. some places have more transparencies than other places).

Read first post, first three lines.
Thank you very much.

eh just look at one of the giant Flame clocks/Ferronis while in combat. they for some reason are oddly demanding so if it slows down there it will slow down later on for sure

Sorry I thought this is rather mod related than emulation related since it is directly connectied to the game and using mods. my bad then!
Sorry

Hey mate. I've been using your config for a bit now and while the game looks great, I noticed some frame drops everytime when i turn the camera e.g in colonies. Does that apply to you aswell and would you mind sharing your clocks? Sorry if that's been answered already but i kinda got lost in all those threads and comments.

well I mostly play in docked mode and use 1020/768/1862 which provides 30FPS most of the time with very few demanding battles requiring higher clocks. handhelds a different story I personally try not to go above 1020/460/1862 as to not cause any potential damage to the battery so I see it drop down to around 27FPS at most (its far worse with blur on). I don't really think there is anyway around handheld frame drops other than lowering the resolution or overclocking to levels that would be bad for the battery (assuming you're not plugged in)

Try with 1.2, has lower blur effect and the battles runs better.

I see only 1.1 ddl link where is 1.2?

It would be so nice to have your json ou just the config please

I've recently updated to 1.3, check it here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/xenoblade-chronicles-3-graphics-settings.616287/post-9897004

looks better than 1.2 and runs smoothly most of the time. thank you very much!
Also, would disabling/lowering blur even more have a positive effect on performance?

AMAZING! This config is "carne de perro" As we say in Spain
