Switch 1.6.9 bugs

[kijiman]

We are doing 2-player splitscreen multiplayer on Switch. A list of our bugs so far:

- Frequent stuttering
Game just freezes for about a second, then probably puts us a few frames ahead of where the game froze. Seems not to follow any sort of pattern, happens probably ~10 times per in-game day.

- Cherry bomb crash
Mentioned many times - we had this as well specifically with player 2 placing a Cherry bomb in the mines. We have not used a Cherry bomb since to try other player/location combos.

- Fishing cast noise
Regular fishing cast noise is replaced by a grinding noise. Seems to happen more frequently when both players fish at the same time but we've had it happen when only 1 player is

- Frozen animations in mines
Sometimes on a floor in the mines, all the animations will freeze (ie. the little smoke trail from stones coming off of rocks stays forever) causing items to become un-pick-up-able. You can still mine rocks but the stones aren't collected. Even dropping an item from your inventory causes it to show on the floor but you can't pick it up. First time this happened was when reaching level 5 and completing the advancement but it's happened other times without an advancement pop-up. Fixes by using ladder to level 0 and going into a different level

- Disappearing slimes in mines
When attacking a slime, it just disappears without dropping anything / counting as a kill. This has only happened to player 2 so far. We were doing kill 10 green slimes quest and one disappeared without counting towards quest. Happened a 2nd time with a blue slime

- Prize machine cutscene is cut off
When you get the first prize machine cutscene in Lewis' house, Lewis is offscreen and so is the prize machine. Character appears to be talking to edge of the screen. This happened for both p1 and p2's cutscenes

I've experienced many of these same issues, also on Switch with 1.6.9, playing split-screen co-op the whole time.

Your bugs that I also experienced:
- some stuttering/brief freezing
- Had the exact same issue with frozen entities in the mines. Entered on level 115, everything was fine until I got to level 117. Monsters didn't move. I could damage them once with my sword, but the swooshing animation persisted on the screen and I couldn't interact with that monster again. Rocks would break but couldn't pick up items. After leaving and re-entering the mines, didn't experience the issue again that day.
- Had the same glitched audio during fishing rod casting. It sounded like that every time either player fished.

Other issues not already mentioned:
- During this game day, I got to level 120 for the first time in that save, and couldn't obtain the skull key. When I tried to open the chest it played the opening sound effect but nothing else happened.
- I put a hat on my dog and the whole game crashed.

I'm not at my console now so can't provide software versions. But we upgraded to 1.6.9 on 11/4/24.
Farm: Hilltop, created on v1.5, now in Winter, Year 1.

Hey! I wanted to add to this thread as my mum has been playing 2-player splitscreen multiplayer with one of my siblings – they’ve both been very excited for the 1.6.9. update, haha!! But, here are some of the bugs they’ve come across / I’ve been told about:

- same with you's, frequent stuttering - the game seems very laggy (pretty sporadic in nature, but seems to be especially bad nearby the slime hutch on the farm)

- game seems to randomly crash, booting players from the game entirely back to the Switch home screen - seems to be happening completely at random.

- duplication of NPC – while playing last night, we saw that Sebastian (spouse of second player) was duplicated! He repeated the same dialogue when interacted with, and was able to be gifted twice!! I’ve attached a screenshot, Mum was joking around about having a secret husband because you could only see the two Sebastian's on her screen, lol! Though it seems, when logging out and in again, the clone has disappeared.

Hopefully I’ve put this on the right forum thread! I’m new to this, so please feel free to guide me in the right direction if need be! Also, here’s some more info: Switch / English / Multiplayer (2-player splitscreen) / Switch Pro Controllers / 1.6.9.36 (game ver.) / 19.0.1 (switch ver.) / pre-existing save on a Standard Farm layout

Having many of the same issues here:
Random crashing not from only in the mines/bombs. Haven’t used bombs at all. Also haven’t had any animal hats which I see many people saying is the cause. 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). Boots right to the Home Screen.
There used to be some lag when one of us was fishing or sometimes when someone walks into a new area in 1.5 but on 1.6 it happens all the time now.
