Well damn....this looks much better

What a massive difference some tweaks can make.

Maybe graphics too much. Who know how, can disable AO and simplify the volumetric fog, this will gain a resolution boost.
Ahh... i do it my self =) Here is:
Ghostrunner_v1.1_Switch_Graphics_Mod_13.11.2020.zip
Volumetric Fog and Ambient Occlusion restored to stock

Never bothered getting the game due to how the graphics looked. How's the FPS with the graphics mods enabled?

It's not bad at all if you overclock your Switch.

Holy f@©k at those before and after shots.

How does it run?

thanks to this thread, I learned that ghostrunner is on the eshop. it shows December 9th, 2020 as the release date on its page, and the download link is for game and dlc down at the bottom instead of to the right side. it's on sale right now (or it was last night at least), so I bought it for $23.99 iirc.

I tried the second one without overclock and it's working fine. It seems another game! Really beautiful with the graphic mod, thanx a lot for this release!

 

[ecl0674]

There a big problem with mod. Level 5 doesnt load, because reflections enabled. Later i upload version without refl.

 

[JHumBL3]

Will this mod work with the newest update?

 

[ecl0674]

For the new ver.

 

[fuffsss]

For the new ver.

This is helpful, Thanks. Does someone can make MAX health cheat code too?

This game isn't that bad stock. I enjoy the game rather than nit picking the graphics not sure I'd take a performance hit for better graphics

lol I assume you haven't tried playing docked

 

[linkinworm]

I've only played docked

I've only played docked

Wow ok, I thought handheld mode looked ok but docked looks really fugly.
Maybe that's cause I also played the PC version on max settings but playing with stock switch settings on a tv wasn't fun.

I made some comparison screenshots to make sure I'm not tripping

Spoiler

It looks so much better with this patch. By default all the colors are off and everything looks super white.
Unfortunately you cant really see how much sharper it gets cause the switch can only do 720p screenshots but theres a big difference.

Nit picking or not i think the performance hit is worth it(especially considering the performance hit doesn't exist when overclocking)

 

[cucholix]

Disabled dynamic resolution, lags in some areas even with max OC, runs smooth in others. If someone want to try.

 

[Al3Drk]

Can we get an update for 1.3

Since you enabled TAA, could you see if it's possible to enable Temporal upsampling?
The only things that need to change for it to work on PC is to change r.SecondaryScreenPercentage.GameViewport=100, and r.TemporalAA.Upsampling=1, with r.ScreenPercentage set to the target resolution, but it should work with dynamic resolution.

In practice, having temporal upsampling gives lower performance than having it off, but it looks a lot better than just lowering the screen percentage, while still being faster than rendering at native resolution. What it does is render the game at a lower resolution, then upsample before most post processing takes place so they are done at native resolution.



That's the game using resolution at 100% , 50%, and 50% with temporal upsampling.
And it's not a perfect representation because my PC gets CPU bottlenecked but it still shows the difference in quality and performance.
