Trying to link 2 Switch in the same house for Local Play and was getting heaps of disconnections. We are using Monster Hunter Rise but assuming this same issue would occur in any game. After google issue found a lot of people experiencing but no real fix other than rebooting both Switch. While this does seem to work sometimes or at least make it better, it didn’t stop it.
I finally realised that once you start a local game it jumps off the normal wifi network and the two switch are actually making an Ad-Hoc connection. Which makes total sense, so you could play in a park or on a bus without having internet. Though at home makes no sense given the incredibly short proximity of the signal. I can only assume it’s using Bluetooth since even 3-4 meters away the signal is showing 0 bars.
Both switch are hacked therefore we cannot utilise the online servers. I really don’t want to play 200+ hours of MHR sitting on the floor in front of my sons 65” inch TV and he doesn’t want to play hand held on the couch for the same reason.
I know about various LanPlay apps to allow you play remotely using the “local” method so they must be re-routing the traffic but I just want to do the same thing but actually locally without having to use a server or extra apps every time we play. Is there such a hack or can I just install LanPlay on the switch without the need for servers and point them at each other somehow ?
