Poor Performance After the Patches Updates

[cunning cipher]

I'm happy we got the switch updates after so many months, however the game's performance is sorta on the slow side I get that the switch doesn't run ported games that well but please find a way to make the performance slightly better if you can. Again, I understand switch updates took a while to come out but it'd be nice to have it a bit more faster but not too fast. Usually it lags when you pick up an item or interact with a puzzle.

because switch doesn't have the specs an Xbox/Ps5/PC would have, its a hand held and the slightest big thing would slow down the performance

[cunning cipher]

true however the more you get deeper into the switch version it lowers the fps HN1 ran fine but I guess it's because of the amount of detail they put into HN2 compared to the first game

[sweet hatch]

yes since the game is a large free roam, and has ALOT of more detail then hn1 that is the reason it cannot handle it.

At least we still get the patches tho i am getting worried if the6 keep updateing the switch version (which is good) it might have huge lag so let’s hope that doesn’t happen

[cunning cipher]

yup

[sweet hatch]

still, its a handheld with not alot of good processing power to run the normal graphics like pc ps or xbox

[rigid timber]

Yea the graphics on hello neighbor 2 switch is surprisingly great!

[rare fulcrum]

you're saying that like bunch of AAA games are not on the switch

[cunning cipher]

spongebob cosmic shake is a good game and it has great graphics and runs good however after a while it starts to lag

but it runs good despite the graphics

being high a bit

[sweet hatch]

it can run that but

Hey, thank you for letting us know of this! Do you have the game installed on the System memory or a microSD, and what is your Switch setup (e.g., is it connected to a TV)? Also, have you tried reinstalling the game and restarting your Switch (hold the Power button > Power options > Restart)?

[cunning cipher]

1. I have it installed on my microSD card.

2. Yup, usually when I play the game I play it on my TV.

3. I never thought of reinstalling the game maybe I'll try that and restart it if I do play it again.

thx for the suggestion k1mon

Hey, could you please try installing it on the system memory and see if that helps? It should normally be faster than the SD. Thank you! 🙂

I'll try doing it tomorrow it's almost 3am where I live rn

I should get some sleep lol I'll try doing it tomorrow though

So, I tried it and it worked however I found the problem. It's the auto saving feature whenever you pick up something or do a puzzle the gameplay gets choppy and starts lagging. Manual saving would be a great option, and of course we can have the option to enable it or disable it.

Hey! So to confirm, it still lags even on the main/system memory? Thank you!
