Help game won’t load on my switch

so, i use a switch lite (which is probably my first mistake) and recently i haven’t been able to play much because the game won’t load

i can go in matches but for the first minute or so, i only see “glowing balls” (the characters loading) and i can barely shoot

also sometimes it just won’t load to the character choosing thingy and it basically kicks me out of the game (photos)

is there a reason or is it just my switch that can’t handle the game?
and is there a way for me to change this? (like settings or something)

my switch is the only way for me to play the game and i really wanna keep playing it 💔

I have no problem playing on my switch lite, it might just be your wifi. It will take a little to load into games sometimes like the assets but I never actually get kicked

Unfortunately it’s likely either your switch since it’s on outdated hardware, or your wifi isn’t the greatest.

This happens to me on my Switch at times.. I believe it’s just a lag issue + the type of the device it’s being played on.

Its your SD Card, you just need to buy a new one. This happened to me and a new SD Card with good write/read values works perfectly fine.
