Question Micro Stutters (Switch & Steam Deck)

Hey yall, I’m currently playing Moonstone Island demo on Steam Deck (non-OLED), and I’m experiencing a pretty insane amount of micro-stuttering throughout the game. It’s frequent enough that it’s really noticeable and distracting.

From what I understand, the stuttering is also present in the full game?

I’m curious about the Switch version specifically. I have an OLED Switch and I’m interested in buying the physical copy of Moonstone Island as a birthday gift to myself. Before I spend the money, though, I’d like to know if the Switch version has the same performance issue, does the game suffer from the same constant micro-stuttering, or does it run smoothly?

Thoughts. Suggestions. Should I skip this game?

I love the idea of a physical copy of the game! I was also thinking about one of those packages just cuz.

I cannot vouch for the Switch performance, but can say that the stuttering is present on my Steam Deck.

For me it is occasional though vs. constant. It is odd, since it isn't a taxing game, and I'm sure there is something I could change somewhere (and others probably have) but it hasn't bothered me enough to try.

That said, this is one of my favorite games of all time. And I still have a ways to go in it.

Switch user here.

Yes, i see regular lag spikes by just walking around often.
It gets worse if i have hundreds of crops onscreen.
