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.

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

Per CA’s X post….

If I remove the hat from my cat, the problem becomes a ton better, but is still slightly laggy here and there. If I take it off of my horse too, then the problem completely goes away.

I was having the same problem I tried what you said and removed everyone’s hats and now it runs smoothly!

Worth adding that even though all hats have been removed, I still see a tiny lag here and there, but FAR less than before with the hats.

same issues here!! anytime i’m running split screen co-op the lag spikes every other second on the farm are crazy, and outside of the farm it’s still prevalent but a little more manageable. we experienced lag before but not nearly as bad as this. I will try removing the hats tomorrow and see if that fixes anything, but I’m hoping for a patch to come soon :(

Hi, I play splitscreen co-op on switch, than I just randomly kept getting lag spikes very often. I fixed the problem by removing the hats from my pets (for some reason) after I did that, the lag stopped in the area with no pet with a hat. If anyone is experiencing this same problem, I recommend you take off your pets hats.

Going to add my experience to this thread as well. I'd been playing a save file on Switch before the update and started experiencing a lot of lag on the screen after updating. Not a game-breaking lag, more like split-second freezes and then jumping forward again, but it's getting more frequent.😭 I hope it's patched soon! I've been having a lot of fun with this save file.🥲

Hello, I'm completely new to this forum but I just wanted to add. It seemed like out of nowhere my game became completely unplayable on my farm it would practically freeze every few seconds until I saw on this post that someone said it was the hats on their pets and I can confirm at least in my situation it completely removed the unplayable frames. However I definitely still noticed there are certain performance issues in a few areas here and there, even before 1.6 and I always wondered if it's just my switch that is defective in some way.

I occasionally get weird lag spikes every now and then. Often when walking around, or mining. The screen will spaz for a second, but then the animations / sound effects will catch-up all at once

Could you kindly tell me how to take off the hat from the animal? I've tried to do it, but my dog's still in the hat =(

I would love to confirm if there is another (possibly simpler?) way, but so far I have only been able to remove pet hats by clicking on the pets as if to pet or interact while "holding" (hovering over, really) a different hat in inventory. The hat they have on will pop off for you to collect on the first click, and the new hat won't be applied until the second click, so if you stop after once then the pet should be hat-free.
