If the optimization is only the stuff they've listed, it's mainly volumetric clouds and foliage. Which can be additional double digit percent better performance, sure, but doesn't really touch the "lack o' skill" coding of NPCs etc. that's hammering the CPU.
Modding seems to still be the go-to on that front.

Anon07/12/26, 06:51No.2712688
Surely they must've optimized the game a LOT to get the game running decently on the Switch 2.
>It (Switch 2) contains eight Arm Cortex‑A78C cores running a 64‑bit ARMv8 instruction set, with cryptography extensions enabled and no support for 32‑bit code. Each core features 64 KB of L1 instruction cache and 64 KB of L1 data cache. Six cores are available for game development, while two are reserved for system tasks. Clock speeds reach 998 MHz in handheld mode and 1,101 MHz when docked, and the CPU can theoretically burst to 1,700 MHz for demanding operations or future updates.Ignoring the GPU here because they can always just drop the resolution to improve GPU performance, but CPU bottlenecks are a whole other thing, the Switch 2's CPU is pretty much a phone/tablet tier CPU and I would assume it's much weaker than that of the PS5 for example.

Anon07/12/26, 09:34No.2712931
Also keep in mind that altering the number of NPCs in any way crashes the game during the battle with the false arisen, any changes they make might have harsh consequences in specific circumstances and they can't afford any more bad PR. Modders can just do whatever they want because the stakes are low

Are there any mods like Pawn Manager from DD1 for DD2? Something that would let me save my Arisen and Pawn designs? I checked the pastebin and saw one that lets you edit hired Pawns, but I'm more interested in saving my Arisen's design.

The original DD and DD:DA was one of my favorite games of all time, and I've poured entirely too many hours into it, plumbing the depths of the game.Why then, does DD2 just not hold my interest? The mechanics seem fine (other than no Mystic Knight vocation) the graphics are pretty enough and the exploration is good, something about it just feels off to me.

Autistic Italians asked Kinoshita if the game will be able to reach 60 fps on consoles with the next update and he confirmed, but was that not a thing before? I remember they introduced performance mode for that reason

Anon07/14/26, 16:07No.2720501
Not even sure how I'm supposed to play the game when the DLC comes considering I have lots of mods installed which are probably all going to break the game until updated. Haven't played vanilla DD2 in quite a while.

speaking of mods which one was it that absolutely murders performance? i went a little too hard last time i tried this game but am pretty sure it was bestiary or something that absolutely tanked my framerate (for whatever reason, assuming it's a CPU bottleneck). is it any better yet or am i fugged

I sure hope they give an option to turn off the FMVs in the vocation change menu. Lingering on that menu, along with the equipment change menu can cause a hard stuck once you eventually try to exit. feelsbad
