It's version 1.2 now as opposed to 1.1. Should check if performance and the bugs that the game has have been improved now...

I just booted a New Orleans scene, and now it doesn't drop frames in portable mode... Could this be an actually big update? The game had some scenes that ran amazing and others that ran like shit, this is one of the latter and now it looks better? Guess it's time to put DF on this.
Huh? those weren't in? they were in DOOM and it just seems weird they didn't have them in this one. Haven't started playing yet so I hadn't noticed.
Was the port any good? I'm curious about the game, liked the new order but never gotten around to getting this on Xbox one or ps4. Loved doom on switch.

I put in in docked mode and it looks sharper and doesn't drop frames in the scene right before you leave New Orleans.
Not to be pedantic, but that's just called an update. Games get updated. There are patch notes for it up on the official site.
(The changes are all good, so don't let me interrupt from the news itself :P )
It can look a bit rough at times, but the game remains completely intact. With gyro support in handheld mode, the game is a blast.
It's good that they are updating and improving it, but no amount of patches is going to make it a good game.

I reached
The Hitler scene

good to see them trying to improve the game's performance.

You are our hero
Honestly, what good is the device outside of testing lol
This is true, no amount of patches will make a game good when it is already good.

No hero today. The Switch DLed the update before I could grab undocked pre-patch footage.

Digital Foundry has some un-patched footage, from some of the roughest areas too.
Pssh. A real hero would format their Switch to get the undocked footage, then restore the cloud saves.
Jk, that's not worth the effort.
He was directly asked lol, do you want him to lie?
Pretty sure you can't do that, anyway. Wasn't there a mild controversy over the fact that once a game's been updated on a Switch, you can't ever roll it back?
EDIT: Oh right, you have to basically do a factory reset.
I think if I did that the game wouldn't get the Day 1 8GB patch. Not sure what that initial patch introduced/addressed.
Edit: Let's give it a try. I don't have anything on system that can't be recovered.
Are you serious, lmao
You're correct though; updates are downloaded together. Unless you know someone who just has the day one patch you can't get 1.1.
Also please be sure to download cloud saves before you launch any apps (other than Wolfenstein) because I'm not entirely sure how robust Nintendo's system is.
This Switch is only used for capture footage, so nothing of importance will be lost. Cloud saves can be restored and I can DL the stuff I need to capture still.
Its the way I played it and I enjoyed the hell out of it. The motion controls being so good was a large part of that :D
Curious to see how this turns out. I sold my copy almost immediately after finishing the the majority of the extra missions partially because the game didn't perform a well as I'd liked. I didn't enjoy it anywhere near as much as i did Doom either.
Can we replay missions now?
Undocked (how I played) is a less stable and more difficult to enjoy. Some of the later levels looked pretty damn rough.

Docked is seemed pretty solid in earlier levels. Looks pretty good and runs well. DF showed that later levels drop resolution pretty low for the big screen though.

Idk why people talk about earlier and later levels. NY runs like shit, Roswell underground and base looks great, courthouse runs like shit again, so does New Orleans, but then Venus runs mostly good, or better than New Orleans, and so does the Auztmerzer. With the patch, New Orleans and Venus run perceptibly better for me, much, much less blurry (Have shots before and after) and better framerate. Idk about the rest of the levels, but the variance should be reduced.
I feel like this needs an explanation.
You can name your versions anything you want, but if you follow semantic versionning, this applies:
For games, an example could be that the engine changed and does not do the same thing anymore, but that seems mostly relevant for multiplayer games. Not sure how to apply semver on a standalone product.
Panic Button, doers of the impossible. Are they handling DOOM Eternal? That's the game I most want to see on Switch, just to see how it holds up.
NY is the area I plan to capture for comparison purposes.
Also, how stealth could it have been if it just happened and there's already a Resetera thread about it.
Pretty sure I just saw them state on Instagram that the patch improved resolution and framerates to some extent at least.

You can tell it did by simply booting the game and playing.
I hope they fixed the new orleans bonus missions.
I'm normally not the framerate-guy but these missions are almost unplayable for me.

Which to me, were barely noticeable at first... but I'll take what I can get
