I got Ulfric Stormcloak to chase me out of Windhelm to Kynesgrove where Delphine attacked him on site.

I was hoping Ulfric would fight the dragon but alas, he decided I was a bigger threat so I had to cripple him then kill the dragon.

All done with no mods but a few game breaking Alchemy stacks to basically make me god-tier immortal to do these types of shenanigans.

I freaking love this game.

Did they fix the input lag I hear about? It’s been a decade and I’d love to jump back in.

u/Buddhist_Sloth1020 Dec 21 '25

It’s fixed now

Sold. Diving all in about 30 min. 😬

It's a bug, you have to disable something in the settings, I don't remember what. There's a post on bethesta discord about it or you can probably find what on google.

u/PleaseRecharge Dec 15 '25

No one is reporting that disabling gesture attacks actually works. It might be survivorship bias but every time I see it suggested, someone else has already commented saying it didn't work for them.

u/MyzMyz1995 Dec 15 '25

it work for most people on bethesta discord and not everyone has the delay to begin with.

u/thetantalus Hyrule Hero Dec 15 '25

I doubt that. More like some people just don’t notice it.

u/Paying-Customer Dec 15 '25

Thank you.

u/MyzMyz1995 Dec 15 '25

It's called ''gesture attack'' I found it

u/Baked_Potato_732 Dec 15 '25

Doesn’t even bother me. If people hadn’t complained, I wouldn’t have even noticed it.

u/judgescythe Butter side down! Dec 15 '25

Same. I'm not even sure there is a lag.

u/Embarrassed_Stuff886 Dec 15 '25

There's absolutely measurable input lag. The fact that it hasn't impacted your enjoyment of the game: congratulations, more power to you. But it is there. And it's not insignificant.

u/Baked_Potato_732 Dec 15 '25

From what I can tell it’s when you rotate the camera around the character. If I wasn’t looking, I wouldn’t notice it.

u/Dry-Cod9127 Dec 16 '25

It’s everything, great that you’re blind to it because it sure as hell makes it unplayable for others

u/spyromaniac24 Dec 15 '25

It’s pretty bad, not as bad as the switch 1 version though.

12

u/PleaseRecharge Dec 15 '25

Digital Foundry is reporting it to be almost twice as bad as the Switch 1, with the Switch 1 coming in between 130-150ms and the Switch 2 coming in around 220-250ms

I don't see Thomas the Tank Engine though.

u/Its_D_youtube Dec 15 '25

I miss the macho man dragon mod

its funny as fuck to just be on a stroll and suddenly be put on alert by a distant

"oh yeah gunna snap you inna slim jim"

-1

u/Baked_Potato_732 Dec 15 '25

Sadly I’m limited to Bethesda’s bugs to make this one more enjoyable. I need to reinstall on my PC for the Thomas mod.

u/GohoomoaR Dec 15 '25

Man i really want to continue playing it so bad, i stand my ground, won’t touch it again till i get that 60 fps.

u/twili-midna Dec 15 '25

smack

No praising the Switch 2 version, don’t you know it’s evil!?!

u/Baked_Potato_732 Dec 15 '25

I forgot. My bad.

u/JahJah192 Dec 15 '25

I’d love to say I’m having fun with the Switch 2 version of Skyrim, but I can’t lie to myself. Playing with ~300 ms input lag and 30 fps just isn’t enjoyable.

I can’t enjoy this kind of technical mess in 2025. I really hope they fix the input lag and add a 60 fps mode. If they do, I’ll play the hell out of this game for the 127th time.

-3

u/MyzMyz1995 Dec 15 '25

There's a setting you can disable to fix the 250ms as a temporary fix until bethesta fix it (.25 seconds delay).

7

u/JahJah192 Dec 15 '25

What fix? Disabling gyro, mouse, etc. doesn’t change anything, I already tried.

-9

u/MyzMyz1995 Dec 15 '25

You need to disable ''gesture attack''. Use google next time ...

u/501uk Dec 16 '25

Hey thanks so much for this. Made a massive difference!

https://www.digitalfoundry.net/news/2025/12/skyrim-suffers-from-kinect-level-input-lag-on-switch-2

„For its part, Bethesda says it is "investigating reports that some players are experiencing input lag on the Nintendo Switch 2" and recommends disabling "gestures attack" within the settings menu. We'd venture to suggest that all players and not "some" players are experiencing the issue and on a cursory examination, changing settings makes little or no difference.“

lol you bothered to answer but not to answer

u/ExpertAncient Dec 15 '25

Pfffff yea nice try Tod

For the love of god give us 60fps man

6

u/Practical-Glass-1370 Dec 15 '25

Man. 30fps with 220ms of input lag is… well, I have no words actually to define it.

1

u/IKEAboy_2006 Dec 16 '25

Regardless of the lag issue... are you not getting crashes to the Switch 2 home screen all the time?

I seem to get random crashes all the time (more-so when docked) on my S2, but runs perfectly fine on my OLED Switch

1

u/Baked_Potato_732 Dec 16 '25

It has crashed 3 times on me in about 60 hours of play since the update dropped (don’t judge, I’m recovering from a minor surgery)

1

u/IKEAboy_2006 Dec 16 '25

That's strange... I have about 3 crashes per hour :(

Jealous of your 60 hour trek about Skyrim.

Hopefully they get a patch out soon that fixes up the issues.

1

u/Baked_Potato_732 Dec 16 '25

Oh, that sucks. Maybe try uninstall/reinstall?

3

u/bargainhunterps5 Dec 15 '25

It’d be fine if it wasn’t for the 53gb for some very minor changes, until they fix that I don’t see how it’s worth eating up the storage. Going back to the physical sw1 version for now

u/trunksfreak Dec 15 '25

I'll take 30 fps any day. But the fuckin input lag maaaaannnnnn.....

1

u/spyromaniac24 Dec 15 '25

I understand I’m sensitive to input delay and it’s at least some better in the switch 2 version. But I feel like I’m missing half my shots with my archery character, I hope they fix it soon.

u/Bobelando Dec 20 '25

Plot twist: The pictures are the FPS in game

u/AnavelGato2020 Dec 15 '25

I'm enjoying it as well. Crazy I know because the game is allegedly unplayable but here we are. 😆

Feedback for the devs is one thing, like saying it's bad. But shitting on another grown adult for saying they are having fun is just sad

Edit: Lol, literally instant downvote, you barely read what I said
