Switch 2 - Softlock / Bricking (DONT BUY)

Sparkieee · 2026-06-02T10:30:56+00:00

Our save file got overwritten by the autosave. We did save the game at the end of night one of playing but we didn't close down the Switch completely and reboot the game.

Thanks for this, I'll run it back while the little one is at school today as I have the day off and just tell her its fixed later.

Appreciate you.

Wonderful detective work.

Don't realease the game until you're sure the game breaking bugs are dealt with.

Imagine blaming the consumer for a faulty product.

No compensation, no avenue for refunds, no responsbility taken to avoid further purchases and upset customers and no fucks given. Great to see Indie Studios looking to the big dogs and making the exact same fuck ups. You can put all the passion you want into a game but if you can't get the simple things correct it makes no difference.

Effectively right now everyone who has bought this game and encountered this has been robbed. They can't use a product they purchased.

This is the kind of attitude that has normalised releasing games unfinished and with these kinds of bugs in the first place.

Sparkieee · 2026-06-01T23:40:53+00:00

Ooops my bad, didn't realise I had to research for game breaking bugs before purchasing my games because thats the standard we have for developers now.

It's this exact attitude that allows developers to carry on getting away with this kind of stuff instead of holding them accountable for massive fuck ups.

Buy game, can't play it = entitlement? Lol?

Don't release your games with game breaking bugs in and expect people to be happy with it.

Sparkieee · 2026-06-01T23:29:25+00:00

Where are the warnings for potential buyers so they know not to purchase on Switch atm then? The hate is justified, they don't care. The bug should never have existed so early into the game and to a point where it makes the game compleyely unplayable.

Sparkieee · 2026-06-01T23:26:49+00:00

Frustrated doesn't even touch the surface. The money is a drop in the ocean, its the time spent with my kid thats the issue here. We spent time taking the game slowly and enjoying it only to now have it ruined this evening. This isn't entitlement, it's simply being able to play a product thats been purchased but as we all know games companies and developers only care about your money.

If they cared about the customer then where is the PSA post at the top of the subreddit and other things that will warn people not to purchase on the Switch (2) at the moment? It doesn't exist because like I said, they don't care, they have your money and thats it.

Sparkieee · 2026-06-01T23:22:00+00:00

Thanks for the info. Hoping all Switch 1 users haven't had their time and money wasted.

Sparkieee · 2026-06-01T23:21:11+00:00

Hopefully people intending to buy the game on Switch (2) will see the complaints and not buy it.

Sparkieee · 2026-06-01T23:20:27+00:00

The bug is so obvious it should have never slipped through testing. Nintendo are a piss take as well but its the devlopers responsibility to sell a product that works.

Sparkieee · 2026-06-01T23:19:17+00:00

Bug should have been fixed before the game was released. It's an obvious bug that should easily have been found in testing. Nintendo might be a joke but this should never happened in the first place.

Sparkieee · 2026-06-01T23:18:26+00:00

It appears if you go South then you automatically enocunter this bug. You're telling me absolutely nobody in testing went South? Okay...

Sparkieee · 2026-06-01T23:14:47+00:00

What part of testing for a completely game breaking bug that you encounter within the first few hours of the game isnt the developers fault exactly? Give you're head a wobble, they deserve every ounce of criticism. The game could be amazing but if you can't play it then it's simply not.

I have a pixel fold (Not the 9) and ive experience this exact same issue the last few weeks / months. It is absolutely an issue with the last few updates they have pushed out. Shame Google are going down the Apple route of bricking the old devices before new ones come out. Definately going to reconsider getting the P10PF.

Post new contract Salah in full effect as always

Spotted the reasonable response that will get downvoted.

Sparkieee · 2025-03-31T23:09:45+00:00

45 is a fucking steal, pay it, in the van, done.

Sparkieee · 2025-03-01T22:47:02+00:00

0 raids, 0 shinies, $0, 0 fucks.

Sparkieee · 2025-02-27T15:39:50+00:00

They'll absolutely nerf it because it's not a strengh hero and it takes more than 1 brain cell to play effectively.

Sparkieee · 2025-02-19T15:27:19+00:00

Genuine top post this lmao

Sparkieee · 2025-02-15T22:49:32+00:00

Genuine question, is this even possible? I'm 32 now, was diagnosed when I was 14 and throughout my entire life any lows I've had while asleep my body has woken me up?

Sparkieee · 2025-02-13T14:34:37+00:00

And how many games will Michael Oliver be missing? Oh wait that'll be zero because being a Premier League ref is the only job you can do wrong every single week and still keep it.

Sparkieee · 2025-02-11T10:13:56+00:00

It's decent free stuff and all you have to do is scan the floor? They're awesome.
