Mod for Darksiders 2 to raise framerate cap to 60.

It works well enough that it drops FPS mostly when it wants to load many assets, but this is not very often with recommended OC clocks.

Installation

The patch only works with version 1.0.0.

To install, copy the exefs_patches folder to you SD card:

• Atmosphere CFW /atmosphere/
• ReiNX CFW /reinx/
• SXOS CFW /sxos/

And restart Switch.

User guide

Recommended OC settings with sys-clk:

handheld_charging_official_cpu=1224
handheld_charging_official_gpu=921
handheld_charging_official_mem=1600

Game is not using 921 Mhz GPU all time, but additional 153 MHz helps with streaming assets when needed.

Here is table that you can use to adjust to your own preferences.

The patch that is ready for use already includes these changes:

gNXDynresHighWidth_hidden=1600 -> 1280
gNXDynresHighHeight_hidden=900 -> 720
gNXDynresLowWidth_hidden=854 -> 420
gNXDynresLowHeight_hidden=480 -> 240
gNXHighThresholdUS_hidden=31000 -> 61000
gNXLowThresholdUS_hidden=29000 -> 59000

Theoretically it should have the same image in docked mode, but it is not tested.

Game is using some combination of GPU Power and usage to determine dynamic resolution, so it won't drop resolution to 420x240.
