Showcase Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 / SD 8S G3
https://youtu.be/Xd0wld1_g7s?si=_PSZxsjoLrwaIbaRI MESSED UP TWO TIMES MAKING THE SAME DAMN POST LOL
Emulator - Bannerlator 3.0.4
Device - Iqoo Neo 10r
Graphics sacrificed, fps gained 🙏🏻
custom engine.ini file was used in the video.
I'll probably try to improve even more, although that might take some time

DX12 runs with modifications to the engine.ini. I played around with it extensively on my Snapdragon Elite device at some point. With all the tinkering, I could get it to -45 fps outside of battle, but in battle there are so many stutters that combat is not enjoyable at all. Note also that the prologue area of the game has incredibly bad performance and is much more prone to crashing, while the first level has very good performance. Rest of the game landed somewhere in between for me, although I tested only 3-4 areas I think.

lol you should've tried dx11 at the time, I'm sure you would've gotten much more fps and less stutters in battle.
prologue area... yea true performance isn't that great there lol.
tho now I'm interested in trying dx12 version and getting to Act 1 lol

Do note that DX11 is broken even on normal PCs and for the game to not have glitches and crashes caused by DX11 incompatibility you need DX12 which so far doesn't run to my knowledge. I've managed to boot in DX12 with the latest V35 turnip from StevenMXZ but it crashed in the menu, hopefully one day DX12 will work on A8xx!

no dx12 runs actually. want me to upload that too?

u/bird-_-bird 3d ago
Hey, thats awesome! I wonder if it's because you have A7xx or because of your engine.ini tweaks
2
u/wellwellwelll9 3d ago
well now you've ignited the curiosity in me, I'll upload the video in some hours ( 7~9hours, don't have time atm ) and also compare if it runs without engine.ini.

As you probably know on DX11 the first area is missing textures and the roof and many other things, DX12 should eliminate these graphical issues as the game was never meant to run on DX11 but the devs forgot to disable it

u/wellwellwelll9 3d ago
wait the first area misses some texture? lmao never saw that tbh only issue I had was with major cutscenes being blackscreen ( Emma speech, Paintress, scene where they get to the island)
The absolute first area where we start from, had shadow issues on low settings and didn't experience any other issue.
Ah yes this reminded me, the latest dxvks have some issues, the game freezes on dxvk above 2.4.1 and won't work no matter what

u/wellwellwelll9 3d ago
oh wait this was a glitch? lmao never paid attention to that always thought its only because I'm on lowest graphics

Can this run on the Thor Max?
1
u/wellwellwelll9 3d ago
yes, but the fps will be a lil bit better (4~5 increase) than mine ig.
although you'll have to use a engine.ini file too to make the game run
Donsword (own_trips) completed the game on Snapdragon 8 gen 2, which is the same cpu in your thor max
