Switch Performance Feedback Request

I have a pretty specific one.

I was playing handheld, no problem. Docked, spoke to the NPC who gives you killing quests, and the background was distorted. Saved, spoke to Jonathan and crashed. I have 20+ hours and all 3 of my crashes have involved NPCs. So clearly interacting with them, along with going from docked to undocked, causes issues.

My PC from 2010 can run this game with all settings maxed out but it can`t run Diablo 3 as well as my Switch. As a gamer I don`t care about the development process, this Bloodstained port is just bad and not acceptable. Needs 60 FPS and no less

I'm about 45 hours into my blind playthrough on the switch, and I've crashed SOOOOOO many times.  Likely 15+. I'm definitely not buying the PC version despite how much I want it, and how well it runs.  Pretty saddened by the fact that they haven't yet released the "July 15th"-ish patch... also knowing that that it'll be a while before the game's actually good and playable on the switch properly. I really like the game. When I'm not crashing and losing 2 hours of progress farming or more, it's great. But this leaves a very sour taste in my mouth.




As far as specifics go, the weird part is that I almost always crash in the village area with the vendors.  80-90% of the time.  Either at the alchemist or the farmer, or just jumping the platforms in the middle room.  Which is terrible.  Right after visiting the vendors is usually when I remember to save, so this guarantees I wind up losing the most progress.  I've been trying to save more frequently, but autosave culture has really beat this out of me.  It isn't something I've had to worry about for a minute.  I play the game docked most of the time, feeding the hdmi signal to my monitor, and having a headset plugged into the audio port on the switch.

There's also a bug where, when swinging a greatsword in midair, and then landing, I will perform another greatsword attack that does not strike the enemy, wasting all kinds of time.  This seems to happen mostly when I have the Greatsword expertise shard as well as the optimizer shard running.  I don't know if it's something to do with the shards stacking, or if the game is trying to prevent me from swinging midair, landing and immediately swinging again.  Feels like a big waste, but greatswords are still my preferred playstyle.  I've gotten somewhat used to it, albeit in a grumpy old man sort of way.

This is really disappointing... Please don't announce stuff or make PR when you don't deliver x.x

I bought a physical copy of the game two days ago and started playing yesterday. So, I'm on patch 1.03.

Tonight I've encountered crashes on three different occasions while playing docked, all at frustrating times because I keep losing shards and items since my last save:

• Completed the quest to give Corn Chowder to the old lady. Attempted to open dialog with her again and the game crashed.
• Attempted to read the bookcase inside of the gear tower in Towers of Twin Dragons. Crashed as the book graphic appeared.
• Broke a candlestick in some single-screen corridor of the Garden. Crashed. Figured I was done for the night there.

In addition, I experienced some really bad slowdown in the aforementioned gear tower as I began to climb it, and I had a few instances where items dropped by enemies weren't being collected in that same room - Miriam just walked right over the item bag on the ground and nothing happened.

Good luck with that class action lawsuit due to Switch performance. I can understand how some people could be a little disappointed in the quality, but there are plenty of people who love the game on that platform. The angry people are the loudest. The game is getting performance patches to address your concerns.

After redownloding the game. It will start like normal until the screen goes white. Then it may take over an hour to load if it does load. This is a new problem since I had to redownloaded the game. Before it worked perfectly fine. Tried to redownloaded it again but the problem still exists. Version 1.21.
