Trails of Cold Steel 3 for the Nintendo Switch has a hardcoded frame limit of 30FPS, despite the PC release having arbitrary framerate support of up to 480FPS. Although it's obvious that the Switch won't be hitting those frames, by upping the limit up to 60FPS there's some places the game will actually hit 60FPS despite the previously imposed limit. For some, even a framerate a little bit more than 30FPS, like 45FPS or so, might be enough of an improvement to make the game more enjoyable. If you're into overclocking, that will help the game to reach 60FPS in more places as well.
@Kirby567fan went ahead and improved the patch with additional graphical tweaks that should help the game reach 60FPS on more areas and other improvements:
Installation:
Download the zip file attached to this post and extract it in the root of your sd card, and done. The zip is made for Atmosphere users, if you're using other CFW then you'll need to see how ips patches can be used on your CFW, if supported, and use the ips file that is inside the folders.
Known issues:
- Frame pacing might be bad if the framerate is not stable.
- Scrolling through menus might be faster than normal.
Enjoy!

Note: This patch will only work on the 1.0.1 western version of the game.For those trying to get a bit more performance out of the game in intensive areas, I made some changes to this mod that include the following:
- Changed shadow resolution to 1536 instead of 4096 which was too overkill for 720p.
- Changed shadow casting distance from 0.8 to 1.0(has pretty much no effect on performance but does improve visuals).
- The game is always forced to run in the docked profile since it has some added AA that doesnt hurt performance at all.
- Added 16xAF to the game wich greatly improve texture quality.
