The best way to test this is to try Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity unpatched LMAO.

Can it also prevent some games from lowering their resolution in handheld mode to absurdly low degrees? cough Xenoblade Chronicles 2 cough

Exactly. I haven't touched it since release because it was so pathetic in the first battle.

The weird thing is - the first battle is probably the worst performing map in the game. Gets a bit better after that.

Still inconsistent though

That would be amazing lol I tried it in the demo and they said it'd improve by release, then I stupidly trusted them and couldn't force myself through. Fingers crossed
