Hi,
After playing many hours on the switch, as the game goes on it gradually gets more unenjoyable due to framerate pacing issues, mostly when zoomed in, which is required to make more subtle changes. I understand that it's a feat in itself to get the game on the switch running, but having BETTER performance in undocked vs docked questions the teams priorities here.
My observations:
- A huge amount of trees kills performance. When zooming in the details of trees in the far background seems to take its toll, as moving towards the sea in the background improves performance by about 5fps ish. LOD, or in more sense, draw distance should be reduced when zooming in for trees for start.
- Same applies to shadows. Shadows when zoomed in seems to reach far into the map, the shadow draw distance should be removed based on players zoom (especially at full zoom in).
- I assumed docked is running higher resolution, hence the worse performance docked vs undocked. Lower res on docked.
Other suggestions:
- A performance vs quality preset in settings menu as a result of the above. Reducing res on undocked isnt a good solution though.
- Colourblind options (I made another post about this)
- Light on cursor at night
