PORTHEON 3.3

PORTHEON is a launcher for the PC ports of EA SPORTS UFC 1, 2, 3, 4, UFC 5 and UFC Undisputed 3, created and maintained by Marcelo Miyake (XAndromedaXR). No game files are included: you need your own copy of each game.

What's new in 3.3

UFC Undisputed 3 (new in the library)

  • UFC Undisputed 3 (Xbox 360) is now in PORTHEON. Pick the game folder and press PLAY: the game starts straight away, fullscreen, with "UFC Undisputed 3" as the window name.
  • Offline or Online mode: Offline for Career, CAF and fights; Online opens the game's online launcher.
  • Settings in PORTHEON: internal resolution (automatic by graphics card: 2560x1440 on 8 GB cards or more, up to 4K), Direct3D 12 or Vulkan, 60 FPS with VSync, AMD FSR 1.0 / CAS, FXAA, 16x texture filtering, fullscreen, vibration, keyboard and audio.

UFC 5

  • Back in the library (3.2.4 had it locked as "in development").
  • Back on the steadier engine, the one of 3.0 to 3.2.3. The window is just "UFC 5".
  • Fixed setup for everyone: 120 FPS, Immediate, 16 shader threads (at most the CPU's threads minus 2), X3D mode, console math, priority, dedicated GPU, Performance shaders.
  • More FPS in menus and fights: linear-image readback is off. It made the GPU re-read memory on every submit and cost a lot of FPS.
  • Fewer freezes while the shader cache is built.
  • Whole fight going black with tattooed fighters (only the HUD left): the engine now handles invalid shader values the way the PS5 GPU does.
  • No more colored bands/artifacts: frame generation is off for everyone (it can be turned on in PORTHEON, experimental).
  • The first 2 or 3 fights after updating are slow while the shader cache is rebuilt. After that the speed comes back.

UFC 1 to 4

  • UFC 4 drooping mouth fixed, and UFC 4 runs without the other community patches. UFC 2 and UFC 3 keep theirs (crowd, motion blur, face fix).
  • UFC 4 at 2K/4K working (without the PS4 Pro mode that stopped GPUs, code 23).
  • UFC 2 and 3 Career crash fixed (UFC 3 after the second belt, UFC 2 with code 3).
  • Code 23: the next PLAY goes back to the safest setup by itself (1080p, 60 FPS, no FSR, no PS4 Pro mode).
  • Safer automatic setup for everyone: 60 FPS, 720p without FSR on very weak PCs.

Online with a friend (UFC 1 to 4, Parsec)

  1. Install Parsec (free, https://parsec.app) on both PCs.
  2. You (host): in PORTHEON pick the UFC, turn on Parsec mode (online host) under GAMEPLAY and press PLAY.
  3. In Parsec, share your PC with your friend: their controller becomes Player 2.
