Issues while playing via Nintendo Switch!

More times than not, I'm dealing with consistent issues while playing. Most times it's lag, other times it's uncontrolled disconnection, or issues specifically related to using specific Legends. The one I'm most concerned about, today I've been maining Revenant; his ultimate has been amplifying the damage that I take instead of allowing me to absorb the allotted damage that his ultimate allows. A few times I have lagged, being transported all the way across the map and take immediate storm damage. And one of my personal favorites, I have recently been falsely reported for illegal/hate speech, by an other ranked player after getting disconnected from a match in ranked, several times, back to back. Most of these issues, I'm noticing have been related to playing via Nintendo Switch. What ways can this be resolved, and how quickly can it be taken care of?

  • @TTAGxCrimsonFogI play on both pc and switch, and during the times I have played on switch I've had a lot of the same issues. I do know the graphics aren't as good and the game runs much slower.

    I too have had an issue where I'll be walking around the map and I'm temporarily transported outside the ring where it says "get back in the ring" and I'm taking damage, then I'm somehow back where I was running with the rest of my squad. Must be some kind of error with the coding of the maps. This hasn't ever cost me a match so I haven't reported it, but it did give me a jump scare first time it happened.

    I too used to main revenant (I now main Bloodhound because I had too many enemies not render on switch), and his shield ability never did much for me either even before the nerf. I think it must be bugged or something since even one hit always took it away, weird.

    So far the only time they did a patch for switch over complaints on here was when the bugs on the Halloween maps got so severe some switch players couldn't play for over a week, the graphics got so grainy and pixilated and the movement slowed down so bad it was impossible to engage in a gunfight. They issued a patch and the problem was fixed about a week after switch players flooded this forum with bug reports.

    If you post about it on here they will see it since they have sent recent surveys out to players addressing problems people mention on here to see how widespread they are. Some of the recent changes were from what they learned, so I have a feeling the game will change for the better soon.

  • Thank you, for your input. I know other switch users are struggling with some of the same bugs. It would just be a little better if the devs somehow found a way to help make it a bit more fair, at least for switch. 

    I've also noticed that, when I'm initiating a gunfight, if there's too much going on in a small area (for example, hot drops), that my fps and game speed are dramatically reduced. 

    I've played multiple other battle royales and online first person shooters, that I don't have an overwhelming performance drop. 

    It would be great if switch ran at the same speed it used to, back when I first started, in season 11. Thank your for your time, and your response.
