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.

I'm glad they're acknowledging the problem instead of ignoring it.
i love how happy people are to just accept this and be like meh its ok at least nintendo know about it.

erm

how about sorting these fucking faults out before rushing your shit out?

lets steal £280 off you, yes we know we didnt care about its design or hardware, we just wanted a new system out asap, we will try fix your problems later..... please bend over let us rape you.

all i can say is, if this was MS or SONY i bet y'all be on it.

Me, if it was MS/SONY id be on it too, its not about been a fanboy, this is by far the worse console i have ever seen with so many faults.

yes, if MS had a system with so many faults in one go, id hate the console too.

I have yet to experience any noticeable fps drop except once while killing a moblin and my wifi has been on since I turned on the switch. I got a friend that says it can be terrible at times. Wonder why me and a few others are able to avoid it.

no its not normal.

its supposed to be a next gen console, and its last gen port cant even run.

what fucking hope as this sack of shit got when devs want to try release games that are more demanding.....

again you will find nintendo will be skipped all because nintendo want to be cheap cunts!

and itll be another sytem littered with shit titles and the same old nintendo titles.

because its a poorly designed console that hasnt even gone through any testing, if nintendo actually tested the console and its design do you really think it would have launched with all these fuck ups?

where is NINTENDO SEAL OF QUALITY now ehh?

Your right it probably could have used some extra testing and it feels unfinished but you act is if it's the first to have issues at launch. I'm just happy most issues are small and not like 360 rrod or Ps3 yellow light of death or the Ds broken hinges.

i have repeated many times.

its not about a console having one or two issues.

this system is fucking littered with issues, not just its hardware, software but even its design.

all i can say is if this was a different product, i bet customers would be forcing nintendo to call back the console and fix its fucking problem.

i hate the fact you are already being over priced for this cheap out dated shit, the copied tablet controller concept can fuck itself.

I used to have respect for nintendo, but for a long time now, nintendo have not given a shit about its customers or its consoles, all they care about is forcing how they think this BS "innovative" controller is the only thing that makes games fun..... if you take away its BS controller then everyone would see the console for what it is.

Every company is all about the money. Seems like you do dislike their products and I would just stay away from them. I'm not real sure what common issues that you are saying it's littered with besides weak wifi, joycon desync and Zelda fps which I haven't experienced at all but I'm just one person and I guess I just got lucky.

there is such thing as been about the money, but then there is deliberately releasing cheap consoles and slapping a gimmick to create a hype and rake in the profits.

there are shit loads of faults with the console, not just wifi, joycon and zelda fps.

i do agree consoles are prone to faults, but these type of faults are what youd consider avoidable if it was designed better and actually tested.

I agree every console should go through a very vast amount of testing. As for the switch I'm sure many agree with you especially ones experiencing the worst issues but as of right now I'm happy that I bought one but I don't blame anyone who hates theirs when they got to sync their controller every few minutes or have dead pixels etc.

The only game i wanted to play was zelda, but i refuse to ever buy a nintendo console again due to the fact that this will be a paper weight with fuck all id want to play.

the issues its having would put me off even if it did have the titles i wanted.

luckily i guess someone sent me one and im finding (not connected to wifi) that the game lags and maybe its me but the input controlls are slightly off, now i know users have also reported this but worse.

this console should be recalled and released when its actually fit for its purpose.

yes you and others may not have a problem, but i wonder if this has hit its requirements to force a recall, are users physically reporting these or just sat believing nintendo can some how fix all its fuck ups with firmware updates (which they wont, not all anyways)
