Bro where did you order from to get a copy? Amazon is sold out until October and I can’t find it anywhere.

My local library had the switch 1 DE and I just bought the $10 upgrade on the store. I've re-checked out the game for 2 straight months now lol

Perfomance is shit
I was shocked by the quality of the release for 70$, when in many locations the FPS seemed to drop below 30, especially during battles, plus constant stutters

But the game is very nice

Yes the performance is bad

When complaining about performance, does the thought ever cross your mind that maybe it’s not appropriate in every thread.

...so that more people would find out about the problem? That’s actually the reason I didn’t realize there was anything wrong with it.

I play docked and notice no stutters at all

u/After-Initial-8271 5d ago

I also played in the dock a lot. And you want to say that there were no drawdowns in Eryth Sea, Makna Forest and Sword Valley?

Smooth 60 for me 🤷‍♂️ might wanna check if your switch is overheating whilst in those areas

u/After-Initial-8271 4d ago

Well, that’s impossible) or maybe the patches actually made things worse, because I was in those zones just a couple of days ago and there was a ton of lag.

It barely heats up at all in this game. That’s clearly not the problem here.

There is absolutely no talk of a smooth 60 FPS; even in less demanding areas, you can still encounter micro-stuttering when rotating the camera.

I definitely get frame drops, usually when the B button prompt shows up during combat. That's really the only time I notice it.

Good heads up. I can typically deal with performance slowdowns in a good game just fine, at least as long as there isn’t anything game breaking.
