It still feels like it's raining too much to me, even in normal areas. Like, 51% of the time.

You guys are so confusing. Come on DF, do a proper test!
Switch Framerate Stability: Very improved. All problem areas noticeably better, less frequent drops while docked. Nearly consistent undocked.
Wii U Framerate Stability: Somewhat improved. All problem areas have some improvement in stability.
Digital Foundry is at EGX this weekend so I wouldn't expect anything until next week.
Anyway, I just ran through the Z

Does the Switch automatically download updates to software?

I've been playing mostly docked and tonight I got to the Korok area for the first time and it was pretty smooth. I have nothing to compare it against but it seems like the kind of area that would kill the frame rate. Lots of fog.
Honestly looks just as framey as before.

Is this switch or wiiu?

It has d-pad buttons.

Yes, but you can trigger it manually from the home menu using + to bring up the options for any piece of software.
Switch (the UI buttons are from that ver)
That being said the Great Plateau was also improved along with Faron Woods and most of the Stables.
Towns that had problems seem to have been improved a bit with Zoras Domain being the better of the bunch imho.

Frame rate is marginally better in Kakariko and Hateno on Wii U. You hit 30 more often, but if you're looking at a more complex scene it still drops to a sustained 20.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Im sure they probably bought the switch with them

Probably need to wash you eyes for a bit before watching it again.
How did you get the Wii U version to download? I just tried now and nothing happened
I can't see a downgrade here, like some have said. but of course compressed youtube video

That side by side shot in Korok Forest really shows the improvement.

I haven't noticed that at all actually. I would have to check again later.
Framerate has improved, still there (some drops) , not perfect, but definitely improved. Much less noticeable

Gamexplain's video shows it's totally fixed in some areas and improved in others. Is there an open world game that doesn't have some framerate issues?
Pretty much this.
Never really had problems with the framerate, and this only makes it that much better

Some busy areas like the Korok woods are improved but still a bit choppy. Seems to address the random bits of slowdown in the overworld.
There are certainly many that have less.
Gimme moar frames Nintendo deliver the goods.
Yes, I saw this video before my post.

Keep on optimizing, is the last I'll say. This is a good direction.
yes. horizon zero dawn is one example
Horizon Zero Dawn, apparently. Xenoblade Chronicles X was also pretty damn solid (though it had some very aggressive pop-in in what would have otherwise been trouble spots).

GameXplain just posted a comparison video as well for Switch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hdGpEPy-K4
Doesn't seem to be a dramatic difference, just smooths out some of the hiccups a bit.

Your best bet is probably to compare to the areas that Digital Foundry tested since they have graphs showing exactly when and where the framerate drops to 20.
Literally every other open world game I've played performs better lol.
There exist some worse performing games I'm sure, but usually they aren't good games I'd spend time and money on.

It's an across the board thing. Some areas are still improved, but not as much as other areas.
This happened to me a few days ago, didn't realise it was a glitch. I can't remember where exactly I was. It was somewhere near one of the stables near the great plateua. I was stalking horses and kept getting attacked by moblins. I got like 3 blood moon cinematics, every time I cleared the camp.
Having played Dragon's Dogma on PS3, I can't say the same for myself.

Looks less framey, although never had a problem with it before.
WW hd thats a framey game on the wii u. almost unplayable during sea battles.

It's pretty improved in the areas we talked about already. Not flawless though, magnetism effects still slowdown the forest frames.
just tried korok. it is minimal better. plateau runs great now
Just tested out some problem areas docked and it's so much better. The shrine with spikes around it south of
didn't hiccup at all, and that place used to be a mess. The Plateau seems entirely fixed?
still dips a bit in a certain spot, but is still a massive improvement.
Wasn't expecting this tbh so it's going to be great for future replays.
Zora's Domain
Korok Forest

That's night and day better. Nice!

Does this fix the Moblin ragdoll framerate problem? Would be a very pleasant change, imo.
Edit: Oh, and I should mention this is on Wii U. Not certain if it is/was a problem on Switch.
