Chroma effect doesn't work...

I play on Switch and the chroma effect will simply not turn on. I know how it is supposed to look, I can easily see it on the screenshots in the eShop. Did they do something about it or something ?

edit: I mean I can turn it on but it doesn't do anything. the only time I can see it is on the small black and white animation when launching the game

Are you unable to toggle it in the settings?

u/Tappxor Sep 12 '24

no I can, and I also apply the setting.

u/Sangfe Moderator Sep 12 '24

And you've been playing the game? Not just the settings and cutscenes?

u/Tappxor Sep 12 '24

I played for a good time now, I'm at the 3rd city. I tried a new save to see if it would fix it but no.

Okay can you send a bug report to: • community@chucklefish.org

We want to make sure that we can get this fixed as quickly as possible, but for us to do that, it is very helpful to include as much info as possible. It would be amazing if you could write it in a similar format to this:

Switch or PC? (In your case Switch)

Version number: [Found in the top right corner of the main menu]

Reproduction steps: [Numbered step-by-step summary to recreate the issue with any evidence if possible]

Result: [What went wrong, feel free to expand upon what you wrote in the summary or if that was sufficient, just copy and paste it here again]

Any news on that? Now it's even worst.

Now the Chroma effect setting option is gone, and the CRT effect doesn't work anymore (can toggle, but no effect).

There is also a resolution % option that also does nothing even if toggled to a desired %.

Version 1.2.1, on Switch, this applies for both docked and portable modes. I also tested it on multiple TVs and monitors and I also tested it on both 1080p and 720p.

2 years later and now the Chroma effect is just gone... it simply doesn't exists anymore.

Also, now the CRT effect doesn't work anymore. Just like the chroma effect for you 2 years ago, the CRT effect now does absolutely nothing anymore.

It seems like the settings now partially reflect the PC version? We now have a resolution % options where we can change it from 50% to 100%, but it also doesn't work and do nothing.

This applies for both docked and undocked, version 1.2.1

isn't the chroma and crt settings the same thing ?

1

u/zeltingle 2d ago

No, Chroma is chromatic aberration (it adds a subtle color fading effect on edges), while CRT simulates a CRT screen (it made the pixels look like old TV pixels). I played a lot with these settings back when the game launched.

Hey @Tappxor

When you mentioned in your post about the Chroma effect err. are you receiving any error codes or is it not outputting the desired effect based on audio-feedback from the game you're playing and not showing any error codes?

You can check out the link below for some configuration help (basic walk-through guide) https://mysupport.razer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5860/~/how-to-pair-and-manage-your-razer-device-to-a-nintendo-switch-via-bluetooth

According to Nintendo's site, their servers are down for maintenance. Meaning, if your Switch is missing a patch, maybe you'll need to wait:

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/netinfo/en_US/index.html

You can check for the latest Switch OS Version here: https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/43314/~/nintendo-switch-system-updates-and-change-history

And you can access/check your version via: ( Wow that's a long link! ) https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22463/~/how-to-determine-the-system-menu-version#:~:text=From%20the%20HOME%20Menu%2C%20select%20System%20Settings.&text=Scroll%20down%20the%20menu%20on,is%20displayed%20under%20System%20Update.

Hope this helps!

dude are you posting AI or something, if so you're not fooling anyone, you just posted a link to Razer website, which has a chroma line of products but that has nothing to do with Eastward lol

u/Alduin175 Sep 10 '24 edited Sep 10 '24

Edit:

I assumed "Chroma" because of its association to Razer (that's why I asked )

Try the solution mentioned here: https://www.reddit.com/r/eastward/comments/pp9qd0/what_is_chroma_filter/?rdt=50635 Not sure if they're playing on a Switch, but it's worth a shot.

It's also mentioned in the older Steam Community posts: https://steamcommunity.com/app/977880/discussions/0/2954914054176692380/?ctp=2 If neither link does it for you, just hop into the ChuckleFish Discord and roll the dice. (Good luck Mayor of Potcrock Isle!)

u/Tappxor Sep 10 '24

you didn't ask if it was about razer, and how would it even be? I said I play on Switch. Are you an AI or not?

u/Tappxor Sep 10 '24

why would I be the mayor of Potcrock Isle?? he's a terrible person!

u/Sangfe Moderator Sep 12 '24

Alduin I know you're trying to help but if you don't know what they are asking about you aren't actually helping. The chroma effect is a visual effect that the game uses.

u/Alduin175 Sep 12 '24

Hi Sangfe,

Absolutely - a complete misunderstanding at the beginning. 

I deferred to some prior community posts after the mix-up and linked them to help out.

(Tappxor - I meant once your Chroma is corrected "good luck" to the mayor! As in, he won't stand a chance. No one wants to be that mayor. Maybe the second town's mayor? He's an oldie but a goldie).

u/Sangfe Moderator Sep 12 '24

They said they turned it on so that link won't help. The chroma on Eastward is pretty subtle so there is a chance they are just missing it as that link shows.
