If you are playing Doom on a modded Switch, Update 1.0.3 is non-negotiable for a respectable experience.
It is important to manage expectations. This update does not raise the base resolution (still floats between 540p and 720p handheld / 720p to 900p docked). It also does not add SnapMap (the user-generated content editor), as that feature was entirely excluded from the Switch port due to memory constraints.
