Game Freeze 4.6.0 - Switch

Since installing 4.6.0 on Switch, my game freezes and crashes much more often than before. About once a day, at no consistent time that I can tell, the game freezes mid-match. Sometimes the game quits and the Switch error message comes up: "The game was closed because an error occurred."

Can't give many more specifics than that, seems like it tends to happen after the game has been on and I've been playing for a while (at least a couple of hours), but can't say for sure. Today it occurred right at 5:00 PM PST. Located in US.

    Since the patch occurred (I also play on Switch), I've seen the game freeze a total of once for maybe 2 seconds and that was 15 minutes ago.

    My game has crashed this same way at 2:25 PM on April 3rd, another time on the 4th or 5th (I don't recall, sorry), and 12:11 AM, 5:38 PM, and 9:16 PM today (April 6th, also US Pacific here) First three were Pig and Myers, latter two were Yui. It's a little difficult to provide concrete footage of, since the Switch can't save a video once it crashes, and it never happened during a stream. I'm pretty sure all of them were after all generators were completed, but it doesn't seem to be linked to opening the gate. Like OP said, it feels like it could have something to do with playing the game for too long without closing and relaunching it, like a memory leak or something.

    I just got a Rift Pass and it's going to be difficult to get it done in time if this keeps happening multiple times per day. This last crash cost me nearly 100k bp and locked me out of queue for over 12 minutes. But if it's just from having the game open too long, I can work around it.

    Update: happened again at 4:25pm after only 2 hours of play, so I guess not. Once again during endgame, this time as trapper.
