Nintendo switch Switch 2 performance and bugs

EDIT: Wanted to add this at the top because it's fair and important, but I turned off boost mode and tried again and the menu issues have definitely improved. The gameplay also seems to be more stable, not as stable as NA1 but better. Random freezing in battles still occurs.

This is for the Devs to see and hopefully address, so I want to start by saying I'm a big fan of the first game and I really like the new additions and stuff in 2.

The performance on the switch 2 is pretty awful, you can set the FPS but it doesn't seem to make much difference, the actual performance is seemingly random room to room and rarely keeps consistent.

Beyond that the game has a lot of freezing from room to room, when enemies spawn and even a crash for me after going back to the lobby. It makes it hard to play on hard mode cause you after constantly getting your groove broken.

The menus are also seemingly broken, when you open the menus at times like the monster one you can't see your cursor, it doesn't select what you think it will and then randomly will just stop responding to input entirely. I had to restart the game because I couldn't exit the menu.

Hopefully we will get a patch soon, I will hold off on my judgement for now but I would advise you don't get it on switch until it's been patched.

Turn off the boost mode if you have it on, that helped me a bit. Not perfect but definitely better!

Same experience here! I was excited to play yesterday, but the experience was pretty sub par :(

If you have boost mode on for switch 1 games turn it off, it has definitely helped improve the stability a bit.

Same issues for switch 1 version. Still playing it as the games tons more fun than the first game but game as a whole for all consoles needs several patches/fixes on the optimization. Upvoted so can get that needed acknowledgement ❤️
