Switch Currently on multiplayer and game crashes, stuttering/freezing worse, other issues

To preface in case it matters, I'm on a multiplayer split screen game and it's an on going save, not a new one.

The game lags and freezes for seconds at a time and it's even worse after the update. Especially when there are dinosaurs in the Caverns, it's unplayable. It freezes the screen for a good 5 seconds at a time and I have to run far away for it to stop for me and the other player. Even without being in there, every few minutes or sometimes more frequently than that, the have stutters for a few seconds. It has gotten us killed in the mines and caverns from this before. It especially sucks when a player is fishing. It almost always results in losing the fish.

Crafting menus in the fridge and workbench show 0 resources. It highlights if you can craft an item, but won't show the material amount.

Now the new issue today is the game force closing and all it says is that it's "due to an error." Both times it did this, I was in the Caverns and the other player was on the farm or town. It could be linked to the Caverns as neither of us had been to them since the update until today.

Items are getting stuck out of reach in the walls in the Caverns.

The fishing cast sound is broken, it sounds very grating.

All animations on floor 20 of the mines get stuck.


If this could be related to the Switch at all whether it's a certain amount of storage needing freed up or the game needing to be on the Switch or the SD card, please let me know. We love this game, but the freezing has been frustrating before the update, and now that it's worse, it's almost unplayable.

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 :(
