SWITCH 5.2.1 - Super Slow Loading + Considerable Lag

in Bug Reporting

I'm not sure what happened but the past 4 hours prior and post the 5.2.1 patch that loading time for Switch has been super long and the lag is very noticeable in game. I've had a few disconnects before even joining a match as well.

My game was working perfectly fine the past few weeks so I am confused as to what changed because the slow loading and lag happened just before and after the 5.2.1 patch.

    Thought it was just me with this issue but yeah, after the recent update the game is virtually unplayable on Switch because I just keep getting disconnected from matches when I had no issues at all before the recent patch.

    Yes Tuesday Night and Wednesday Night the DBD on switch did take longer that usual load also it kept disconnecting me at random times. I would be disconnected like 4 times before i actually got into a game. Yesterday was just as bad but after the first game i was able to play more. Ill be checking to see if it continues today. Glad im not the only one with the issue.

    Yeah it's back. It's been super slow loading and I've been getting disconnected again before the match starts 😞

    okay i found a potential solution to this, so did have DBD on my MicroSD card on my Switch but then moved it back to the System and so far it's been much better. I'll report back if there's any future similar drops like before.
