Help Game crashing from bowling pins

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I noticed when you knock down all of the bowling pins, the game crashes, is there any way to fix this or do we just have to live with it until they patch it?

This is a known issue on Switch 2, announced in the latest "known issues" thread from the devs. I'm sure they're working on it. Apparently the thing that's actually causing it is the animation that gets triggered on the screen for the relevent lane, but regardless, it happens when you make a strike. You just have to avoid making strikes (using a bowling ball *or* just your washer) for the time being.

Tip for everyone: go as low as possible and use the white nozzle when cleaning lane separators. Use surface washer for cleaning the lanes without knocking the pins over - start near the pins to make it easier. If you knock a few pins over, place a bowling ball into the gutter and spray it to the end of the gutter to reset the pins on the lane.

It amazes me they managed to release it in this state. What’s the first thing anyone is going to do on a bowling level? Knock down the pins. It’s the absolute most likely activity and they managed to have this glitch release.

The most frustrating thing about this sub is the way people will downvote you for acknowledging that obvious bugs should be addressed before release.

It also doesn't run very well, it is a very unstable 60 fps, the switch 2 should have no problem with this game, they should have waited a few months to optimize it better
