Turning Wi-Fi off fixes lagging in Zelda BoTW and other Switch games

maxresdefault.jpg

According to Nintendo Life, Nintendo are working on a fix for the infamous frame rate drops in several Switch games. It seems to stem from issues with the Wi-Fi driver; some people have reported that turning it off or enabling "Flight mode" solves the problem.

Nintendo Life said:
You can also enable Flight Mode to disable the console's wireless connections. It's worth noting that Flight Mode doesn't work when you dock the Switch.

Our anonymous developer has confirmed that Nintendo is aware of the problem and that a fix will be included in a forthcoming firmware update.

Supposedly it only happens when docked (and the output is set to 1080p)

I don't really see what that has to do with my post and Nintendo are not the ones that claimed that the wifi is the problem...
But nice rant :P

so like other issues, nintendo are aware of them and have give out excuses or "solutions" to other issues and to what i said, fuck the problem we noticed, lets get this shit out and deal with the problems later.

Dude has more dedication to shitting on Switch than any insufferable fanboy I've come across. Still going after 8 pages.

Is there a word for the polar opposite of a fanboy? After a certain point it can get just as bad.

I can understand if you own a Switch and are affected by whatever you're ranting about. But otherwise it just looks like you're bashing them out of a blind hatred for the company.

Yes, they are aware of the lag issue, nothing about it being caused by wifi.
You should be happy they are actually responding and fixing issues, save your bitching for when they don't. There's been far too much radio silence on the topic of Switch issues recently.

i think y'all know the fans here, no matter what fault you state, hey have a response to defend nintendont.
You're no better though, you're just the opposite side of the spectrum: a cancerous troll looking to feed your confirmation bias despite 90%+ of Switch owners experiencing no issues. Surely nobody is allowed to like what you don't like.

just because some users dont have issues, it doesnt mean this is the worse nintendo console ever to launch with all these issues, more than any console has ever had all in one go.

i would say the math is far less than 90% claiming no issues, id say looking at forums and youtube that at least 60% of users have had issues.

100% of users have the issues with poor design, but hey ho y'all defend nintendo and will willingly put up with the poor design such as the docking station.

See? Your immediate response was to deny the facts because they don't fit with your pre-conceived notions about Switch. You obviously don't want to buy the console, so you're looking for anything that will confirm for you that buying it is a bad idea.

so you are aware that wifi is causing a problem, and are working on a fix, the article is stating from a source that wifi is part of the problem.

i would be happy if nintendont actually tested its shit rather than ignore and think fuck it, lets get sales in and deal with the shit later.

i guess if you think its gone silent, your wrong or maybe the flood gates had opened and users have already put out there the problems

They have said nothing about the Joy-Con connectivity issues, and as far as I know they haven't said anything about the various crashes and game cart not recognized errors people are experiencing either.

like wise pal.

so your fanboy eyes are a made up figure that next to no one is having problems, yet the interenet argues that with the shit loads of users reporting issues.

i guess some users then have docking stations that are padded right? wrong so erm yup 100% of users are having that issue of it causing damage unless you prevent it yourself.... continue to defend them for not spotting this and the countless other issues prior to launch.

i quote your quote, you quote me, then go on about other issues, which nintendo have said theyll work to fix.

but still, these could have been avoided if this fuck off retarded console had proper testing, but nintendo didnt care, rushed it out to get sales in and worry about the problems later.

or do all these issues not exist in nintendo fanland.

Yeah, a lot of users did take ten whole seconds to add padding to the inside of the dock. Not that anybody who was treating the system with reasonable care had any issues with the dock minus padding. Grasping at straws.

C'mon. My Switch had two streaks on the screen after being in the dock once. Fortunately they were just grease or dirt since they wiped off just fine, but the dock shouldn't be doing that in the first place. I think we can acknowledge a flaw, it doesn't make Nintendo "literally Hitler", but they could've made the thing a little better.

Yes, my console had small streaks as well, but that's all they were. Not remotely permanent. I've stated that it would've been nice to include some sort of padding standard, but my rule of thumb is: any problem which can be fixed in less than ten minutes isn't really a problem at all.

yup its grasping straws when users reported it marking/scratching the cheap ass screen.

ohh wait you are found countering every issue regardless because your a fucking fanboy that cant accept anything wrong with nintendo.

insted, the user should do this or that..... erm fuck off nintendo should have done better and released the system when it was ready, not rushed it with all these fucking problems.

la la la land wake the fuck up, there are shit loads of people kicking off with the console been as bad as it is, alot of the problems is hardware and design and sorry but you cant sit there claiming your beloved nintendo knew fuck all about it.

they knew exactly, its what you get using cheap hardware, but they would rather try fix the shit later rather than delay the launch, i can bet you any money revised versions will come out because nintendo know retards will buy it.

but the problem like you keep defending is NINTENDO should have done this before launching, same as all the other issues, yet its ok you blow £280 on a shit last gen revamp to then have to go out your way because Nintendo couldn't be arsed.

Wear and tear happens over time. If there's smudges, there's friction. Friction will cause scratches over time, that's just the way it is. We've seen the same thing happen with the original run of the 3DS, so we know this to be true.

I've gladly admitted to the couple minor issues I've had with Switch, but you're still here pretending like it's the only console that has ever had any issues, at launch or otherwise. You know that's bullshit, we know that's bullshit, everybody knows that's bullshit. Worst console of all time for build quality is Xbox 360. So tell me when a majority of Switches start RRODing, and then we'll have an honest conversation about comparisons. Until then all you have going is hyperbole and sad attempts at trolling.

naa bud, i keep pointing out to your delusions, you seem its all gravy.

this is by far the worse console in nintendont history.

fact

it is a rushed pile of shit, its good job these cunts give 2 year warranty.

time will tell, like i said, you watch these cunts release revised models after stealing money off its customers so they can fund a better version with better hardware.

because users have taken this pile of shit apart and have even said its hardware is shit, its joycons are shit.

its a fucking piss take, a console with this many problems, alot of users cant even use it as its intended.

yea i guess your a troll if your not a fucking fanboy that buys any bullshit nintendo tell you.

wonder when you cunts will be on the graphic wagon again..... ohhh wait you just paid £280 for a fucking console that cant even compete with the launch models of the PS4/XBX1...... ohh yes you all get a hard on when shit we already played on the PS3/360 gets dumbed down and ported.

after seeing this shit launch, i really do hope nintendo gives up trying to release old cheap shit copying ideas off other people just to give its crap some hype.

Literally everything you've said in this thread could've been summed up in a single paragraph and nobody would call you a troll. You're fishing for reactions from fanboys.

The Switch has its issues and Nintendo isn't a perfect company, but this blood vendetta is over the top.
