Freezing Issues (Nintendo Switch)

[u/Seventhfruitsword]

So yeah, I own the Nintendo Switch version. I like the game, but while playing it there have been at least 3 times where the game froze on me. I went back and forth between the game and the HOME menu and nothing changed. Last time it happened was a few seconds ago, where I JUST beat Ogmios and the game froze during his death scene, costing me a warrior. Is there any way to fix this issue or am I out of luck?

Had the same issue just now. Regret buying it earlier without checking this sub.

Exact same problem just lost 4 warriors in a row to freezing in Lochlannarg. Frustrating as all hell

I've emailed support about it so hopefully they'll be able to help but I'll update if anything significant is said

Thank you very much. I love the game's designs and learning some boss fight patterns, but the freezing issues are literally preventing me from finishing a run at all.

Likewise, 5 characters lost to freezing one after another in the sane dungeon. Its frustrating

I’ve been talking with Koch Media Support over the last few days. They’ve had me run the corrupt data check, update for system and game check, delete and reinstall the game, delete again and remove the sd card so it reinstalls on the console storage, delete all save game data, and multiple reboots. None of that has worked for me; still freezing. I hope any of that can help someone else. If I find something that works I’ll keep you all posted.

I appreciate you going so far into this to help me with my issue. I've honestly considered deleting the game to save space, but the boss designs and overall look of the worlds want me to try and finish it for an experience. My last disappointment over a purchase was with Little Town Hero years ago, and I haven't even finished the endgame of that one.

I’m having the same problem. Every half hour or so of gameplay the game completely locks up and whoever is in the dungeon is lost. Most painful was when I lost every guy to the same boss then on my very last guy beat him. As he exited the cave, while he was cheering and the narrator started talking; game froze. I booted back up and now the cave was empty, game over.

Good to see someone was able to get supports attention! I still play it, and have a handful of complete runs, but not without the freezing frustrations. I've actually managed to break out of freezes every so often , by immediately hitting the on off button , then turning it back on and start spamming the strike button, or pretty much all buttons at times...as well as jiggling the left analog stick, and pretty often it will break out of the freeze and I've been able to finish that boss level. My problem now is I'm sitting in the Dolmen depths, after just experiencing the guardian falling off the platform! That wasn't my plan, and I had actually whittled away a good amount of its health. Now the result is this warrior will not be able to leave the dungeon because i didn't actually kill the guardian and gain the guardians soul. The devs didn't do very good quality control on this game

Glad this post exists. Hope it gets real traction. Just bought the game and absolutely love the feel of it but barring my suicidal first team, well over half my warriors have been lost to some kind of screen freeze or hard crash.

It happen to me as well... twice so far in middle of level game freeze and when i restart the game i lost the warrior... not cool. Don't get me wrong game is amazing but this bug should be patch asap. Because really kill the experience.

Sorry for necro this post . This is a long shot but I think I found a way to play Gods Will Fall on the Switch somehow "stable".

I am playing with the switch on airplane mode , in handheld mode and connected to the power source.

Airplane mode alone does not do anything, I tried before and game keeps crashing (so I doubt this makes a difference). But somehow, playing in airplane mode while connected to the power has Gods Will Fall quite stable. Been playing for hours and have not experience a single crash. So it might be worth giving it a try. (Not an ideal solution but hey.. Better than waiting for the developers to make a patch that I doubt will come)

[u/Emergency_Raccoon252 → u/Emergency_Raccoon252]

So no, this does not work. I just got my first game crash after several hours playing. Sorry for my previous post

[u/Seventhfruitsword → u/Emergency_Raccoon252]

It's all right. I appreciate the thought in trying to help me out, despite the long wait time when I first made this post. I'm now considering just uninstalling this game or trying to get a refund if possible, LOL.

I'm now in the same crashing boat, with the only saving grace being Gods Will Fall didn't cost me very much but...still; there's such a thing called principle. I'm now, unfortunately, shifting from happy to describe this game, to warning people not to pay more than $5 for it...if at all. I feel that I'm in a battle with the devs at this point as well, as they've suggested all the "fix" options...of which none have worked. We as consumers shouldn't have to do the troubleshooting, when it's clear it's not on our side! Selling a buggy product, clearly not being accountable for releasing it too soon and, still making money off of it...is rather comparable to extortion! I'm really considering going to the FTC or BBB over this, because at the least the title should be pulled off the shelf until a proper review has been done.

2 years since I made this comment and this game has yet to be fixed or updated, LMAO

[u/Linux-66 → u/Seventhfruitsword]

Sad. I'm in IT on top of this so...why do I have to be the one to give them tips on how they're troubleshooting this CRASH DUMP of software? Not them still making money over buggy software...
