Curious about lag on other versions (switch player)

Today I played a few games with some horrific lag going on. It was very noticeable during the skill checks. I've gotten pretty good with skill checks to the point where I barely miss any now except for the difficult skill checks and the random occasional mistake. But I could barely get any during these 3 games. It was honestly humiliating failing over and over because the screen seemed to be moving at 20fps at times during the trial. So... this got me curious... do the other versions of this game have lagging issues as well?

Not hating on the switch version. I think this might have to do with the event going on because I've never had issues like this before. On top of that I'm still impressed with the switch port overall. But I could do without the lag only because skill checks need to be done well or your doomed.

It's like playing a fighting game online. Lag will determine whether or not your inputs go as planned.

    Fellow Switch gamer! Yeah, the lag is a bummer for us(I deal with dying teleport, awkward grabs and registers for gen damaging prompts all the time) TBH, I LOVE my system but I do have to say this one falls on the hardware. My Switxh overheats like an SOB and sometimes fps drops to a clicky slide show. Eh, I dela with it. Overall, I'm impressed with the port as well but I realize that a handheld trying to be a full console is gonna have these issues.

    My switch also gets extremely loud while playing this game. Tbh, I was partly prepared for this port to have a few issues. Fortunately, this is the first and only version of the game I have played so it's the only version that I truly know at this point in time. I would say that I'm pretty jealous of those that can play this game smoothly but we get the special perk to be able to play this game on the toilet so they can be jelly of that.

    Usually the lag is acceptable. I can deal with it while running from the killer. Although its actually hard for me to play as the killer when the low framerate and lag co-exist to create a awful guessing game (As if this game wasn't a guessing game already) Chasing the surviors while this happens creates a very unfortunate experience as the killer.

    The lag is the worst when doing skill checks as the survivor though. Earlier today I just kept running away in shame after failing each generator. Luckily, I noticed one other player failing the gen skill checks as well constantly. It's nice to know your not alone.

    I plan on playing some more matches tonight in hopes that the lag from earlier was just bad luck. For whatever reason I think it might be the event though (maybe the switch can't handle the extra decorations that were added for the event or something?) No idea.
