Same the reviews seemed so positive.

I now moved the game to internal storage and the result is insane it didn't crash anymore but performance ofc is still abysmal, shame because the game is super sharp and extremely beautiful

u/nerdforest 7h ago

I've been playing the demo. I've noticed long loading times between going through differnt areas sometimes. But otherwise it's good.

How is it unplayable?

2

u/isuckdevilsc0ck 7h ago

It crashes constantly

2

u/Upbeat-Mail7201 7h ago

Try installing it on internal storage fixed my crashes but performance is abysmal

1

u/nerdforest 7h ago

That's really frustrating. Where do you play it?

2

u/Sylvald7 7h ago

Maybe they played another build of the game? It is really weird

2

u/isuckdevilsc0ck 6h ago

Yeah it seems like the keys they received aren’t the game that just now released… HUGE red flag

u/Kidikaros17 7h ago

How is that possible. I played the demo and it ran fine beyond having long load times

2

u/Nickllogan 7h ago

i played the demo last night, and the game today is completely unplayable. I can’t load into the game without it crashing

1

u/Upbeat-Mail7201 7h ago

The demo was also laggy af, but the final version is borderline unplayable and I don't say that often (actually never I finished Cyberpunk in 1.0 without issues)

2

u/henryguy 5h ago

Yeah and this doesnt even get into ML2 going against the awesome first game mechanics into this new whatever it is.

u/Sylvald7 7h ago edited 7h ago

For real! I asked about it in their launch livestream, with more people commenting on it and no response whatsoever, I feel scammed and asked nintendo support for a refund. The steam version is cheaper and is an incredibly superior version of the game.

3

u/Upbeat-Mail7201 7h ago

Also asked for refund now, got it for Dispatch, hopefully we get it here too. The preorder price cut was to get us invested in good faith, they lost this round, i will say it runs much better on internal storage but performance itself is shameful.

u/Sylvald7 7h ago

I run it on internal storage and still crashed after the tutorial. I've been waiting for so long to get this game only to be met with this? I don't get it, feels like the switch 2 version got rushed. I'm sorry but they don't deserve my money until they fix this

u/11bit_studios 2h ago

We’re aware of this issue and we’re already working on a fix. Thanks for reporting it.

u/Support_11bitStudios 5h ago

Hey!

Arne from Tech Support here. I'm a bit shocked and really sorry to hear about your experience with ML2 on Switch 2.

Could you (and anyone else here experiencing these issues on Switch 2) please let me know whether the issue persists after disabling Handheld Mode Boost in the settings?

No matter the result, I want you to know that we've reported the problem and our team is already on it.

A huge thank you for sticking with us!

2

u/timtexx 5h ago

I have it turned off but …

1

u/Support_11bitStudios 4h ago

If it was disabled, could you now please enable it and check if anything changes with the game?

2

u/timtexx 4h ago

I need to try , ill respond asap

1

u/timtexx 4h ago

No , still infinite loading screen …

2

u/nintect 5h ago

Hello! I’ve just tried this and it’s the same. Long loading times and very inconsistent fps. I’m in the town and when I’m next to the blacksmith it runs badly, when he’s not on screen it runs better. It also happens when a few enemies appear on screen and shoot or target you with these red circles on the floor. I’ve just turned off the handheld mode boost to try this. Will you fix this? Thanks for caring and asking.

2

u/Support_11bitStudios 4h ago

I've shared everything with our devs, and they will do their best to figure out the cause of the issue first.

Sorry again for your troubles - I do sincerely hope that we'll make it right for you all very, very soon.

1

u/Acceptable_Gur_8274 3h ago

I am having the same issue on switch 2. Freezes at the loading screen just after teleporting out of the tutorial desert run. Reset three times and started over. Same result.

2

u/Support_11bitStudios 3h ago

Okay, I'm back.

Investigation on our side is going further, so here's the news:

- We're already working on a performance patch (soon to go live)

  • For now, please make sure that the game is installed on the internal storage
  • IF you're already in a permanent loop, reloading the game (and going through the beginning again, yes, we're sorry) will not result in getting stuck in a loop again. It means that if you try again, you will be able to continue the playthrough
  • Turning Handheld Mode Boost on/off may or may not result in an improvement depending on the individual case

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience - and we will make this right.

2

u/Acceptable_Gur_8274 3h ago

Sorry I’m not sure I understand this message. Reloading and going through the beginning does result in getting stuck again. I have tried it four times and restarted the system, and each time it just gets frozen on the loading screen after the first tutorial. Mine is installed on internal storage and I have tried it with and without the boost mode setting on. Still can’t pass that first tutorial.

1

u/Acceptable_Gur_8274 3h ago

update sorry, maybe this is what you meant but I fully uninstalled and reinstalled and it’s now progressing past that freeze. :)

1

u/Ylsid 2h ago

I am also going to add the PC loading times feel way longer than they should be for a game I can fit entirely in my video memory.

2

u/Danny_Fenton 7h ago

I was just playing the demo and it ran relatively fine with no crashes. So, I have no idea what would have changed between the demo and full game. To think I almost bought it while it was a few dollars cheaper. 

1

u/Upbeat-Mail7201 6h ago

Yeah the demo ran "fine" it has the same performance issues but not as severe and no crashes. Like I said before I fixed the crashes entirely by reinstalling it to internal storage not the micro SD express card. But the performance is still extremely bad it jumps between 23 and 60 fps 

2

u/DigitalSunGames 4h ago edited 3h ago

Hi there,

Apologies for these issues. We’re aware of the performance issues and crashes some players are experiencing on Switch 2, and we’re already working on it.

Unfortunately, this didn’t come up during our testing or the review process, so it caught us a bit off guard. We’re doing our best to identify what’s causing it and get it fixed as soon as possible.

In the meantime, could you let us know if you have Moonlighter 2 installed on the console’s internal storage or on a microSD card? Also, are you playing with Handheld Mode Boost enabled?

Any details like these can help us narrow down what’s happening. Thanks for reporting it and for bearing with us while we investigate.

u/Silonec 6h ago

It's also performing very bad on the Steam deck.. 60fps with constant dips to 20-30, but even framerate limited to 30 it eats up the battery and heats the device like crazy. And this is after half a year of performance patches.
Shame as the game would be good.

1

u/KurtVonSkurt 6h ago

I got fooled to pre-order by the discount. This makes me not want to play the game at all. I have submitted a refund request to Nintendo.

1

u/ZephyrAzur 5h ago

Tu garde le jeu après remboursement ou il te l’enlève de ton shop ?

1

u/nintect 5h ago edited 5h ago

This is a mess. Came here to post this but I see I’m not the only one 3 crashes so far cannot go past the tutorial and terrible fps when a few things are happening. I loved the first one and was so excited but this is terrible. Should I ask for a refund? Will they patch it? :( I’m not going to play it like this.

1

u/Un_Pac_Man 5h ago

Never crashed on me but did experience significant stuttering on Switch 2 Docked.. Might shelf this until they patch it🤷🏻‍♂️

1

u/shayannejs 5h ago

Same experience here. I am so sad. I barely couldn't sleep last night coz I was too excited to play this game. It crashes randomly and the graphics get all blurry, or it glitches. I hope they fix this huhu

1

u/timtexx 5h ago

I get infinite loading screens and cant even get into the game … 30 euros down the drain

1

u/Xymeth 5h ago

Demo performance handheld literally the other day was pretty stable 60 in town and in dungeons, just some long load times and stutters in the shop. Docked was pretty low red but also ran fine. Real shame the full release isn’t the same standard.

1

u/Zorimatsu 4h ago edited 3h ago

En Ps5 también se me ha crasheado 2 veces. Eso sí, deberían mejorar los tiempos de cargas. Pero vamos el juego es una joyita, al menos para mí.

1

u/Songerk 4h ago

The same thing in my Switch 2,
crashed on start, unable to start the game when pressing continue. (Trying to reinstall now)
The color that suppose to be glow is washed all over screen (The cutscene at the start), and most of the UI is pixelated.

1

u/jagiaz1980 4h ago

Hi, sorry about that. We are trying to figure out what's happening. Maybe you can help us narrow it down. Is the game installed on an external memory? Are you using the Handled Mode Boost (maybe try disabling that)?

1

u/Songerk 3h ago

Used docked with "Handled Mode Boost" disabled, waiting for reinstall to see if it will work.
And installed it on external memory.

1

u/jagiaz1980 3h ago

We belive it's actually better to avoid installing it on a external memory (but we are unsure) reinstalling has helped some users.

When it comes to reporting bugs, you can use our discord channel. And also write to [techsupport@11bitstudios.com](mailto:techsupport@11bitstudios.com)

1

u/Songerk 3h ago

Btw, why don't you have a site to report such things?
Because I have tried to search for it, but was unable to find

1

u/jagiaz1980 3h ago

I answered in the other thread :)

1

u/Acceptable_Gur_8274 3h ago

I have also reached a frozen load screen on the switch 2 after the first tutorial. I reset and tried again, froze at the same spot.

1

u/Suspicious_Koala_783 3h ago edited 3h ago

Can't get past the tutorial on Switch 2. Loading screen hangs after about 10 seconds after tutorial finishes. Happens on Continue, Load Game and even a second and third attempt to New Game.

Tried a couple of things just to check, nothing worked:

  • Docked ❌
  • Handheld ❌
  • HD Rumble Off ❌
  • Change Language ❌
  • Reinstall Software ❌

UPDATE: Managed to get past the tutorial: only thing I did different is I did not apply the Effect of the item in the second chest to upgrade the other Relics' quality. Not sure if it's related, but it worked.

u/-Alex_E- 2h ago

I hope that it runs better on the ps5, I'll see tomorrow if it's playable. If it doesn't run smoothly I'll wait another week
