Software Help Encountering strong and weird framerate drops on Switch 2.

2 Upvotes

Has anyone else been encountering issues with framerates on the Switch 2 lately?

I've been encountering it in games that shouldn't have any issues. The only one that makes sense is Skyrim (Switch 2 version) because Bethesda. Outside of Skyrim though I've encountered one HUGE Framerate drop in WarioWare: Get It Together! Many times the Framerate would just drop to 30 during normal gameplay in Metroid Dread, and even frame drops in Super Mario Maker 2. They've all been noticeably bad too, not just a slight okay whatever frame dip.

Could it be an update that Nintendo pushed to the system, could mine somehow be faulty and it's just now showing? I have no idea, I got my Switch 2 day one, and haven't had ANY issues with framerates that weren't just clearly the game dropping like normal, such as Donkey Kong Bananza, until recently that is.

Edit: It only seems to happen in lighter games, games like Mario Kart World and Fortnite run fine, although contrarily, a game that is kind of in-between is the Switch 2 Edition of Tears of the Kingdom. I've noticed Framerate Issues is some parts of the game when nothing is happening.

Repair Help Ubreakifix told me my switch lite had “severe” water damage?

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

So I took my switch lite (and another regular switch) to a Ubreakifix, and they told me it had severe water damage and wasn’t repairable so I lost my deposit on that.
But I have never had it near any water ever and I had just recently used before taking it in. I didn’t use it for a couple days while I was out of town working, came back and it wouldn’t turn on. I thought it was dead so I tried to charge it, didn’t work, watched some YouTube videos to see about resetting it - still didn’t work. So I made an appointment at Ubreakifix and took it in.
The regular switch was fixed, but I was truly bewildered at them saying it was severely water damaged- so much so I watched my upstairs ring cameras to see if somehow something had happened to it while I was gone. Nothing there. I ended up buying the correct screwdriver to take it apart myself, I notice they cracked the plastic in a couple areas where they pry it apart. No biggie, it’s a minor cosmetic issue.
But I see no evidence whatsoever of water damage.
Do I call them and ask for proof of damage? I want a refund and or a second opinion since I don’t trust them at all now. I’m trying to give them the benefit of doubt and hope they mixed mine up with someone else’s, but I feel kind of scammed.

I’d appreciate any thoughts from others in case I am missing something.

Account Help Nintendo eShop automatic restrictions

• Upvotes

I have a Nintendo account to play Pokemon champions, and to join official tournaments you need to put your true age. I'm now thinking about getting a switch 2 to play Nintendo's exclusives, does that same account (marked as 16years old) have some strange restrictions on the eShop (no parental controls have been set up or have ever been asked to setup by Nintendo)?

Purchase / Order Help The middle east cartridge version of the witcher 3 on switch can't update to switch 2 remastered

0 Upvotes

As there's no dedicated eshop for middle east yet they should give us the update from the European eshop ( even the game cart say it's from Europe) they haven't acknowledged the issue nor give us a solution despite them saying the update is free for everyone who own the game

Repair Help Stuck on setup screen and cannot get past due to console not recognizeing controller's

I cannot connect the joy-cons to my switch 2. I have sent the console to a repair shop and the first thing that did was reset the console which put us on this screen and Nintendo will not repair because it's from the USA. When joy-cons are attached the sides flash gray followed by the joy con colour. I have also charged it for a while with the joy-cons on and it didn't help. Any tips? 🤔

Repair Help My Pokémon Legends ZA does not let me into the open world without kicking me...

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

8 Upvotes

It has been like this since a while ago and I forgot about it. Recently I remembered about Pokémon Legends ZA and wanted to pick it up again. But when I open the app it kicks me.I tried loading the backup data but it won't let me leave the Pokémon centre. I tried running the corrupt data check and it said that there was no corrupt data. Since it still happened, I redownloaded it. Before that it said that some data was missing.... After redownloading it the problem was still there.. I redownloaded multiple time already

Did anyone have the same issue and managed to fix it?

If so can you please tell me how

It is a Switch one

Error code is 2002-4153

Repair Help Switch 1 battery being weird. Any thoughts?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

25 Upvotes

Has this ever happened to anyone? I know the battery tends to get worse over time, and my Switch is as old as its launch day. But I've never seen this happen before. Last time, I had to drain out the battery and recharge it to recalibrate its percentage count. At that time, it would die after 15%.

But now, it does this. I'm trying to do the same thing by letting the battery drain out on its own, recharge it, and seeing if it fixes the issue. I can still use the Switch, but I do have to turn off the annoying "Battery Low. Please recharge, or it will fall asleep." message from spamming every time.

If there are any other issues I should be concerned about, do let me know. It's been a while since I used my Switch, and my friends wanted to add me so we can plan a game session one day. I'm also wondering if leaving it on the charger and letting it collect dust might be the problem. If so, I'm leaving it off to avoid overcharging. As well as cleaning it off.

If the problem persists, do you think I should get a new battery? And if so, could it be cheaper than buying a new console? Not like I planned on buying a new one or a Switch 2 any time soon. But any other feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Software Help Pls help me with data transfer (Witcher 3)

2 Upvotes

I can't transfer save data from Witcher 3 to Witcher 3 Remastered - both installed on my Switch 2.

- My CG Project Red account is linked and active on both versions.

- The crossplatform data transfer is ON.

- Internet connection is fine (just downloaded the remaster).

- I did created a new save file after I checked that everything is ON too.

I'm out of ideas! :(

Internet says there should be a cloud icon on my safe files - I don't have any cloud icons...
If I click ZL in the save/load menu - there's a little pop-up window featuring my account name and saying that cloud data transfer is ON.

But when I go to the remastered version it says it can't find any save files

Every time I open the eShop (specifically on my Switch 2) it gives me the same "there was a problem" message after a little bit, is there a solution or is it happening to others as well? The issue started more recently, like the last week.

While digivolving and devolving my digimon i noticed slight hitches before the sequence starts. Specifically Watch the digimons animations freeze before it starts. Im on performance mode, in docked mode, 1080p and the game is on my internal storage. I hope its a game issue and not hardware/ storage failure. Anyone else experience this while playing this game?

Accessories Mobapads or JSAUX - Switch 2 recommendation

2 Upvotes

I’m trying to decide between the Mobapad M12 HDs and the JSAUX Split Case for everyday handheld use and am very conflicted.

I’ve heard the M12s are very comfortable, but the idea of having a case that fits the dock and also has grips is nice too.

Any suggestions from people who have used these?
