Is the glitch is when you have the blood moon more than once in one night? That just happened to me. I wasn't in a good area for that to happen neither.
Yes, that's what I'm talking about. I believe I only ever experienced it after stepping into dungeons (including
Hyrule Castle
Can't find one, if one does appear I will add to the OP.

Strangely, I rarely encountered this. I know exactly what you're talking about, and it was bad when it came up, but I couldn't seem to trigger it often or on purpose. Dunno why, maybe I never knew exactly what caused it in the first place?

Very little effort, big gesture. I don't mind.

yes. It was worse than FFXV and Bloodborne, and I already had issues with some of the performance in those.

Although it's most likely just going to be "blah blah stability improvements" nothing specific

Yeah, that happened maybe 3 or 4 times in 80hrs for me

Definitely not.
From what I've seen, Kakariko and Hateno actually managed to hit a decent 30FPS on Switch, playing fully on Wii U, those areas literally never seem to hit 30. It's chop city in any village. The Rito Village also is sub 30 Without a doubt and I've seen it run smooth on Switch.
Just to make it even clearer, this was with no weather effects in both versions. I think villages drop to about Wii U level framerate when thunderstorms are going on in 'em.

Did the same. Huge improvement, it's night and day. Definitely still dips, but they're rarer and only last a fraction of a second now instead of 10s of seconds.

That's... Great news!
Now all Nintendo has to do for the docked version is increase
Also to those who seriously think Nintendo will detail their patch notes with other than,"Adjustments have been made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.."
Now all Nintendo has to do for the docked version is increase
the resolution to 1080p, and maybe double and lock the framerate to 60fps.

Just tried the Korok forest, it still runs like trash, just less than before.
I guess I feel like after surviving Blighttown, anything better feels palatable.
There's definitely still framerate issues, but they're far, far less severe (at least in undocked mode, no idea about docked).
That whole area is solid 30fps now docked. Just checked.

Going to try out A

Just ran through
Forest docked. I had just finished the
shrine and ported back to the main shrine when I saw this thread. Did a quick run through the area and there were significant drops as usual. Closed out, downloaded the patch and then ran that same path with almost no noticeable drops. A very significant difference. This is awesome if it holds up for other areas of the game. Going to check out
next.

The worst frame drops I saw in the entire game were (southwest of Death Mountain)
, but I was playing on battery at the time down to about 10%, and it may be the case that the Switch throttles its performance at low battery levels.
in the sequence leading up to unlocking the shrine by Gorko Tunnel, where you carry the rock up the hill to the Goron

I tried
and
Villages on Wii U and it happened to rain.
It was clearly choppy and sub-30, but it didn't feel like it was dipping into the teens like before.
Please take this with the usual placebo effect massive grain of salt.
I had to run before I could test it further like other villages in different conditions, a certain significant replicable spot on the Plateau, or any Moblins.

Big improvements everywhere I've gone to so far. The infamous forest still chugs, but it's much, much better. Playing docked on Switch.

does this fix moblins causing stuttering too?

They've fixed the framerate issues at the start of the game when Switch is docked anyway! No more massive framerate drops when running down the hill with the large shadows. I stress tested it by fighting the goblin too. About time Nintendo!

Yes, when you teleport to the shrine and enter the "village" it's better, but you just need to get a little close to the
Master Sword stone

Of course
not. Maybe they can get rid of the dynamic resolution and make it a solid 720p handheld and solid 900p in docked, or the latter at least.

Then get closer and it's fine again. It's a pretty small trouble spot, at least undocked.
playing undocked and running around and paragliding around. no dips at all for me.
Same. Happened to me once (for like 1 second!!) but I couldn't recreate it after
Probably some weird code issue.
So happy to hear that they have ironed out some of the framey docked mode wrinkles.
For about a second or two and then its right back to 30. Also in my testing that seems to be the only spot that does that

Okay, that's makes a lot more sense. My satire detector went crazy for the first part of your post, but then you made fun of people for expecting decent patch notes and I wasn't sure anymore.

Moblin freeze issue is possibly fixed too. Just fought one in a known problem area and didn't experience the issue (there may have been a 0.1s stutter at one point, though it's hard to tell without recorded footage). Need to fight more to be sure though (could have just gotten lucky).
Also, playing with it for a few minutes, I wonder if they switched from double buffering to triple buffering v-sync. It feels more like triple buffering to me now, but that could just be because the drops are shorter.
