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.

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 wonder how much private & gaming related data Nintendo must be transmitting to exhaust the connection so badly that lag like this is caused, unbelievable. How do they even do that? Impressive. They really are the privacy company, wanting more data than Google and Facebook combined. /s

because these are devoted fanboys that will not accept the simple fact that this console is poorly designed and its nintendonts fault.

everything wrong with the console, its turned at the user as if its the users fault for nintendont not fucking releasing proper console, more bothered about rushing this over priced pile of crap out and giving it hype so it sells.

most of the problems if not all of them is design/hardware faults, something that software updates can only try improve, but its highly likely these cunts will release newer models with the hardware it should have had in order to do the shit its supposed to do.

regardless if your wifi is on or not, it should have no impact on the games playing, but you look at everything else wrong with the system.... its clear that nintendo do not give a shit anymore, they just care about how they can market cheap shit to bring in high profits.... it did them no favors on the wii u, and all these issues are doing this sack of shit no favors.

i can bet you this console will be another DOA system, its now a console that cant even run the games its got properly, never mind lacking games.... so you think this is going to boost sales to get devs interested, i wonder how long itll be before they jump overboard like they did the wii u.

Do you even know what a fanboy is? The Switch is two weeks old this Friday. You cant expect a massive library of games in the first weeks. Of course, no amount of explaining will satisfy that one track mind of yours. The game that's running poorly is doing so because it was built from the ground up for a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SYSTEM. I don't know why you can't grasp such a simple concept.

I also don't know why the WiFi is being blamed for this. However, it was a port to satisfy the launch date of the system. Even then, it runs at a satisfying level. You trolls have some serious issues if you can't walk away.

I rest my case

delusion to derive the point to a different direction rather than see the point that was actually made.

and FYI nice excuse again, in fact yes Zelda was intended for the WII U but due to its epic failure nintendo thought if they delayed this it should improve sales for the switch.

this initially was a WII U title, regardless it should have had less problems porting to the better system, moron!

If anything nintendo may have scrapped the WII U version, created this title using the switch engine then ported it to the WII U, either way still a total bag of wank.

so whats the concept, your claiming the problem is that games cant be ported easily if its created initially for another system..... well fuck a duck, i guess this shows how shit nintendo really are considering third parties have been doing this with minimal problems dating back to the dawn of console gaming.

Seems pretty obvious to me that the wifi is being blamed because it should not be affecting the framerate like this.

nintendo have made excuses for nearly all of its problems, the fans blindly buy it.

same as "gamers dint know the wii u was a new console" excuse for the wii u failure.

thats all nitendo do, bullshit excuses and lies, ohh we promise to listen, we have learned from our mistakes and will aim to provide better third party support...... meanwhile, nintendo are boasting how mario is now only fun because your using its copied bs ideas.

thats all nintendo care about, how they can convince gamers that ITS games are now only fun if your using this new BS idea of a controller, they dont give a fuck about providing games for the LARGE market it constantly fails to provide, that is why its mainly littered with games for kids.

My thing is that I'm not seeing any difference with Wi-Fi on or off. I consider myself a nut when it comes to frame drops. Some of the obvious ones I can handle, but random ones for no real reason at all I don't like.. and I don't see or notice these.. Not in Fast RMX either. Has it been confirmed to affect everybody? Hm. If so, then I don't know.

I never said you don't know anything, i just said 'read it'. Can't hurt you. If you feel attacked, sorry.

...

Well first i'm not a devoted fanboy of nintendo, more of nvidia and intel and the glory PC MASTER RACE. Ahh and Linux<3 even if i destory it every 20 minutes after the installation. Not to forget my lovly coffee <3 <3 <3
And still i think the design of the console is pretty nice. I love new ideas and different approaches in any kind of hardware.
Even the PS4 and XBOX One are based on the architecture are really interesting to me, but doesn't dilver something i don't get from playing on the pc.

There are rearly cases where software fails are unable to patch out. If so, the reason is that other parts wouldn't work anymore because there is a major use of the unkownly bug.

Wifi have and should impact on the games you play. Mostly on online games. What it shouldn't are the console performance itself. Since by the current informations we have is just a bottleneck of a faulty driver. (At least what i intepret)

Does it makes it a bad console or make Nintendo bad? Nope. Shit happens, you can't find all bugs. Sometimes the best QA / Debugger is the consumer. Best prove is of all the entrypoints in the 3DS for example. QA / Beta Tester didn't found them. Some people who thought why not play it on a different way, found them.

Hope i could get you back to sanity

PS: The only reason i got multiple Nintendo Consoles, my brother collect all the PS Consoles, and i'm the Nintendo ones

Why are you even suggesting this when the person knows everything at least as well as you? It's offensive to treat somebody as stupid for no reason. I'm writing networking tools for Wii U and PC (JGecko U and TCP Gecko Installer) so get outta here with your "can't hurt you" crap and study up yourself.

 

[Pluupy]

It's really more embarrassing for Nintendo in that light isn't it? 4 year old, $100 (CAD) cheaper console provides superior gaming experience to Switch...

And waits for the "but it's portable" gambit...

Speak for yourself. I still can't find the Xbox worth it since there aren't any games on the Xbox consoles that are interesting. I can very easily find fun games on Nintendo, Sony, and PC. It's sad that people still buy them.

The general rule I use for Xbox is that if the game is already on Playstation or PC, it's inferior. To me, Xbox lags behind worse than Nintendo since they have meaningful first-party games. And yes, I'd sooner purchase a Playstation Vita than an Xbox.

That said, once again the comparison of a launch console and a preexisting console is idiotic. The Switch was just released. What did you expect? A gigantic library of games? The PS4 and Xbox One were nothing but port machines during their launches because Ubisoft flung their previous gen shovelware onto them. Even at their release, the Playstation 4 was still superior.

Please stop defending such a silly console just because your mommy could only afford one.

Writing Sever / Client applications are not what i meant by read about wifi functionality. I mean the basic functionality of heartbeating to devices / Jam detection.
Oh and because sarcasm is something you shouldn't use for everything. Because people can start thinking ~

 

[Pluupy]

i think y'all know the fans here, no matter what fault you state, hey have a response to defend nintendont.

Bro you don't even respect yourself. Use proper grammar for fuck's sake. Stop making so many new paragraphs. Have some bloody structure to your comments.

I ain't even readin your shit because you don't take the time to construct a proper statement. I mean, forget the fact you keep throwing around baseless information. You've been bashing the Nintendo brand constantly like a school child. On a forum called "GBATemp". Are you actually fucking surprised there are fans of Nintendo? (and most of these people own multiple consoles since they're not minors)

Go away little wannabe troll. You lack the cunning to troll and now just come off as a butthurt fool with poor debate skills. Run down those carpeted stairs, boy, your mam made tendies and smiley-face hashbrowns for dinner.

and nothing to add, then comes the grammar/spelling pmsl

fanboys dont read shit anyways, y'all deluded and think the switch is the best thing ever, nintendo are sooo innovative and everyone else copies.... yet this half assed console is just a mere clone off tablets already on the market.

ohh wait a sex, how did nintendo's last console do when it tried to copy the idea of a tablet????

if anything, id say the wii u was far better, at least it was a console that launched without all these fuck ups.

ohh wait, blah blah blah fanboys hate that nintendo are shit!

i said exactly the same thing about the wii u. sooo lets sit back and watch this pile of crap fail just like the wii u did.

even then, but hurt retarded fanboys will still deny this, claiming nintendo have the best games..... sure thing, if that was the case then the console wouldnt have been an epic failure now would it.

i mean, if it had the best games, then why the fuck were people not buying it..... ohhh sorry your anal gangbanging masters have told you its because people thought it was a wii...... ha ha ok nintendo, you really think people are that retarded they cant tell what a new console is.

i wait the day when nintendo try the same bullshit again, gamers thought the switch was just a new wii u controller.

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

Hm. Guess I'll test some more when I get home. Still, I hope ninty gets a hold on things. Would hate to see this console find itself like its predecessor.

 

[Foxi4]

I'm using hyperbole and being sarcastic about the people that Is bashing this portable console with mobile technology because it isn't as strong as the home consoles that are already on the market (Even though is the most powerfull portable console on the market in relation of price/power).

I also find so stupid the fact that people are blowing things out of proportions regarding the defective units, every console has defective units in their launch, but what actually matters is the percentage of the fucked up units, and since 1 out of 100 users are having issues then 1% of the shipped consoles are damaged is actually pretty good

Both the PS4 and the Xbox One use mobile APU's based on the Jaguar microarchitecture, it wouldn't be too surprising to find the same chips in portable devices.
