Switch 1.6.9 Lagging on Switch

[Excalipro]

This has happened to me and my wife. BUT NOT right away. Our new save is on a switch and we play local Here is the order of what we did:

1. We made a new farm after we got the update.
2. We played to Day 24 (Flower Dance).
3. The night prior I used a book and received power
4. Woke up on 24th and its lagging for both of us but only on the farm.
5. I turned off wifi completely and ran the game solo on regular play. Still lagging.
6. I slept through the night and now the lag moved to inside the players home. But no longer effects the farm.

extra notes:
A. I ended up deleting this note and too lazy to undo the A.B.C’s lol

B. 3 seconds of play = about half a second of lag. Only on the Farm at first.

C. It’s not a wifi issue.

D. Switch is Updated

E. When on local it affects both people playing.

F. Deleted the game and redownloaded - no effect

G. On The New Farm and Other Farms

H. Lagged area sometimes moves after saving. ( Might start in farm, after save, next day it’s in the house but now farm not effected).

I. Happens to those on older saves as well

AHHHHHHH!!! ITS THE ANIMALS HATS!!! When I put a hat on my cat the lag was there, the days the lag was inside the house were rainy days so that cat was present inside the house and thus lag! Boooom!!!! Took it off and the lag immediately disappeared!

Hey,

I’ve noticed some lagging with 1.6 on switch since the update.

This mostly happens when walking around but it’s also happens during the fishing mini game and freezes the green bar.

I play single player in English. Started a new save on the forest farm.

ITS THE ANIMALS HATS!!! When I put a hat on my cat the lag was there, the days the lag was inside the house were rainy days so that cat was present inside the house and thus lag! Boooom!!!! Took it off and the lag immediately disappeared! Hope this works for you too!

Hi I’ve been having this same issue. I mainly play local Co-op and have noticed bad lag spikes every 5-10 seconds on the farm. We do have a hat on our dog and we’re gonna take it off to see if that helps. Also when we first played with the update yesterday we noticed placing cherry bombs (new save so we haven’t got bigger bombs yet, it could be all bombs) would crash the game.

This keeps happening to me on co-op split screen too. Not only mines/bombs. Haven’t used bombs at all. Also haven’t had any animal hats. We aren’t doing anything in particular that I have noticed that causes it. Simply walking through town and it will crash. It even happened once immediately after the game saved (thank god I didn’t want to redo that whole day).
There used to be some lag when one of us was fishing or sometimes when someone walks into a new area but on 1.6 it happens all the time now. A lot more lag on this update so far and the crashes makes it so frustrating to play :(

I had lag way before this update and now it's even worse after the update.

I don’t have a hat on my animal and it’s still laggy.
