Switch Performance Feedback Request

I have a digital version on version 1.01.

Upon start up of Bloodstained:RotN on the menus input latency has been pretty severe, and continues to be through out, at some points feeling like it is actually getting more delayed. At best it feels around 9 frames of input latency, at worst times around 13: seems to be when multiple enemies are on screen in select locations it gets that bad.

In the Dian Cécht Cathedral the rooms just to the right of the Craftwork boss: both had rather serious performance drops when just running through them in portable mode. Maybe slightly under 20FPS, ater restarting Bloodstained: RotN most the FPS issues there had been resolved. The bottom room however has a few small drops on entry in both docked and portable.

Towers of Twin Dragons the left most rotating area has FPS issues throughout in portable mode. From the looks of it mid 20s to higher 20s fluctuating, with the odd freeze frame now and then even when no enemies are on screen but the rotating gears are. In docked from what I can tell FPS seems stable in that area but it has the same freezing portable does.

I had a crash just after that area when I accessed the bookshelf, near the rotating gear you have to aim at. Tried it again, no crash that time.

In Livre Ex Machina, the room above and to the right of a rotating bookshelf (the one that leads to the room with Hyperventilator) it has three Poltergeists, a single Carriage Morte, and a single demon at the far end near two platforms. Once you jump on the platform and up through the hole, the screen goes black for around 15 seconds and if you don't hold jump during the black screen you'll fall back down and have to repeat the process down for around 15 seconds also. Happens in both docked and portable.

Second part of Towers of Twin Dragons after you get double jump: runs at 15-20 majority of the time in docked and from what it looks like, below even the tens in portable near the three gears and the Wolfman below. It also has many areas where it can freeze for a second in both portable and docked, I noticed it was mostly near the gears. I'm not surprised this area runs poorly, the PS4 version struggles here too.

Valac fight runs well, at the end though during the death animation it has terrible FPS, and even froze on me for around 3 seconds.

One final note as I don't see myself playing this version any further until major improvements on input latency, and frame rate.
The input latency is so bad that when you attempt to do techniques half the time it eats your input: I noticed this the worst with Flashing Air Kick, since the inputs are relatively fast and it can be used to reach inacessible chests and rooms earlier. Infinite back dash canceling is really hard to do due to the inconsistency of the input delay and FPS, as well as back dash jump canceling large weapons like Great Swords. Short hoping is also near impossible to do consistantly also.

I really wish you guys the best with improving Bloodstained:RotN on the Switch has we all want a good portable version.

Version 1.01

Crashes - I died fighting the first boss on the Minerva ship and was sent back the my last save point. Upon going back up to the boss fight area, the game started to load the cut scene and then crashed sending me back to the Nintendo Switch home screen. I relaunched the game and was able to proceed with the cut scene and boss battle without it crashing again.

Lag or loading issues - in the castle there's a room that you jump up into, but due to how it loads you have to have some luck with how you time your jump or you fall back down into the previous room. I'll update my post with the name and location once I make my way back there on the map.

HD rumble will not stop once in danger.

The Bloodstained Twitter account said they have a fix for the rumble issues in the works. I had to turn it off in the options, that thing is crazy.

In order:

Input lag: There is a noticable input lag for Miriam. I think this is makes the 30fps feel worse than it really is. I'm totally fine with 30fps. I just want a responsive game.

Inconsistent textures: some rooms, such as the early room with the red moon in the background, look great. Inside the ship at the start looks horrendous at times. Some models have the most basic of textures that it looks like they've simply been forgotten about, or culled in some sort of last minute effort to get it running on the Switch.

I backed years ago and I'm a little disappointed in the final product for Switch. I'm very happy that you guys are taking it seriously though, and really appreciate the communication and honesty.

Not the right thread, buddy.

I was in the castle area after the first boss. I read a book at one of the bookshelves and then crashed.

Physical cartridge with latest update installed: game crashed completely a few screens to the right of the second save room in the boat. I was going up some platforms to fight 3 squid-looking monsters and the game crashed while I was hitting the first monster. This happened about 1 minute after resuming the game from sleep mode. I was dropped to the Switch home screen and had to restart the game.

The Train Area and boss features frequent stuttering, about once per train car
