Somebody wanna check fast rmx, botw, and other game framerate+resolution performances? Could supposedly fix the GPU performance glitch for those games. I won't be a le to check for another 2.5 hours. /:

Anyone who does this has my respect because it's going to require some dedicated pixel counting.

Uh, whats this HDMI issue people are talking about? First time hearing about this.

Receivers have a tendency to switch to the Switch
(lol)
even when it isn't meant to be in use. It just kind of sends a "hey, turn me on" signal every once and a while. People say they are watching TV or playing PS4 or something and then the Switch will just take over.

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

My issue was actually the reverse, my TV wouldn't even switch anymore for some reason.

Just tested it, it's working fine now.

Oh I see. This might sound weird, but this is a non-issue for me then. I don't have a permanent setup so I manually plug and unplug all of my devices to my TV before and after use.

PS4 better watch out. Switch off to a hot start with a stability update mere weeks after launch.

In Ars Technica fashion if they keep up this pace they'll eclipse PS4's stability by April 2021

I left my charts at home. Just take this info at face value.

Lmao at that Ars Technica reference

Wow. Trombe anyone? I originally thought it was an issue with certain tvs. could this update cover both issues?

It's not every reciever, either. On my Bravia it behaves perfectly. On the cheap switcher I have connected to my no-name TV it's intermittent.
 
Mine doesn't take over HDMI when it's sleeping..

goes through my Pioneer receiver. When I wake it up, it will change inputs away from my PC and over to the Switch, but not when it's sleeping.

Pretty nice guy (apart from the blue shadows thing...)
Perhaps this fixes the resource drain that the Fast RMX devs were talking about?

There are also a number of small glitches and features that I'd like to see fixed and added, respectively, but I'm guessing that's more of a 3.0 type of update.

This is the first thing that came to mind. Time to boot up FAST and see if we're staying at 1080 with more consistency...

I was expectinf this gif. GAF never disappoints. So now the 3DS "stability" gifs are Switch gifs :p

Wow, I thought my switcher was faulty.

I played a bit of Zelda

a certain forest that was framey before is still framey

that's all I did, I got sidetracked cooking raw meat near goron city lol
 
Alright, so I ran around both Kakoriko Village and the Forest of Spirits in Zelda, and it varies. I had absolutely no framerate issues in portable mode in either area, but docked mode still dips quite a bit. You used to be able to stare down at the village from the south exit and it would just tank, but not anymore. However, going down the slopes to the village can still cause heavy drops. The forest (and probably most foliage heavy places) are as bad as ever.

Fast RMX, I noticed absolutely no issues docked or portable, but admittedly this game is extremely fast so it was a bit hard to tell. But there were parts where the framerate used to dip just a bit, and those seem to be gone. That's my analysis. Anyone else?

TBH, i didn't note a single difference, i honestly doubt that firmware updates will fix game specific problems, i think those may be fixed in the future with per game updates. Nintendo could make our lives much easier if they told us what the hell the update does...

Same, but I doubt most people with a Switch care about this sort of stuff honestly.

Haha, same here. Tested the same forrest, and ended up playing for an hour or so.

(Yep, no improvements to the frame rate.)
