ROM Hack Question Dragon Quest Builders 2 resolution and framerate mod?

[orangpelupa]

the game runs in 30 fps while docked, would be pretty sweet to get to to 60fps with OC (or with 900p resolution)

anyone know DQB1 filesystem? what engine it use? Or someone already have DQB2 and dumped the romfs?

hopefully it will be an easy edit thru romfs instead of doing hex editing on exefs

It runs at 60, it's just it almost never reach that fps unless you're looking at the sky.
It seems to run on the same software as the first game. I remember it was like this on the vita version too.

EDIT: I tried setting GPU clock to 921 and CPU to 1581. Game loads faster (I think) but fps didn't improve much.

interesting... maybe memory bandwidth bottleneck?

Who knows. Too bad we can't OC memory.

Also this game is really intensive, the fan is always maxed out while playing it.
And another thing, the framerate seems to tank whenever there's water on the screen.

So does it run at 60fps or 30fps?

It's not locked to 30 but run at that most of the time.

It looks like if it can't achieve 60 FPS, it locks to 30 FPS.
I can made patch that force handheld mode graphics settings to be the same as for docked mode if you want.

If game is running in native 720p in handheld or close to this (10%), then there is no need for higher resolution. Quality boost will be minimal and in case if 720p is the main resolution, game will be blurry.

Make one and let's see what happens lol, I always love to test out these kinds of patches.

Here you go. It's for 1.6.1. Without OC it slows down from first cutscene.

Thank you very much for this and all your other awesome patches!

How about a patch that does reverse, hand held resolution on docked? Or better yet just a way to increase gui or text size while docked

Yeah that's a good idea handheld graphics while docked maybe that way we'll reach 60fps

Then OC mentioned by @Duo8 would give us 60 FPS. He used clocks well above that of docked mode.

Changing GUI size is out of my experience.

Oddly I just never set mine

Also does anyone run into a corrupting issue in this game. I played fine for hours then I went into a marsh area and now game keeps crashing and saying it's corrupt but when I verify I can play for a few minutes again before it crashes saying it's corrupt again.

With patch or without?
if with:
I forced three functions to always run as docked. Maybe one or two of them is causing issue.

OC isn't enough to reach 60fps

Turned out the be an issue with my game and had to reinstall it, your patch works good though, no issues so far. I do wonder if we can reverse it and have handheld graphics for docked because as Duo8 said OC isn't enough to reach 60fps
