Arc of Alchemist performance improvement patch #30

Open ghost opened 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

Full game title Arc of Alchemist (0100C7D00E6A0000)

Describe what you want to modify Anything to improve performance in handheld mode.

Describe many informations about this topic Unpacking Arc of Alchemist shows it's using the same engine as the Hyperdimension Neptunia Rebirth games but it lacks a config file that makes tweaking for performance improvements difficult, I would like a way to modify the game so it performs slightly better at stock switch settings, maybe lowering the resolution or adjusting shadow quality etc, doesn't have to be 60fps since the game is very poorly optimized so anything for an even 30fps would be fantastic.

Additional context N/A

Can you share Neptunia config file? And also filepath to it from game root

I want to check what (if they are) options are in exefs

masagrator commented 4 years ago

So from what I checked game doesn't check at all if it's docked or handheld, it's fixing in both modes to 720p window. So it has dynamically adjusted settings dependent on clocks or it's using the same graphics settings for both modes.

Game got new update. Worth checking.

Sorry for the late reply.

Tried the new update and performance is either the same or very slightly better, not significant enough to make a difference though, the game is very choppy so it's not holding a stable 30fps let alone 60fps.

From what you explain it's probably that the game runs poorly in handheld mode because it lacks the clock speed avaliable in docked mode, not sure what changes can be done to make it run better.

Also sorry but no Neptunia games are on switch those were Vita and PC.

This game is a real horror to play falls in the 20/15 fps for my part after one hour I stopped impossible to play it.
