How is the Switch version?

I can't tell you anything about the framerate, since I don't actually own the Switch version of the game, but the general consensus seems to be that the matchmaking is pretty awful. I get the impression it's barely even playable depending on your location.

It does suck, but it's not a consequence of game design so much as low playerbase. In my opinion, the game should never have been released on Switch until cross-play, at least with other consoles, was available, because it simply isn't and probably was never going to be popular enough on that platform to be able to support an independent matchmaking system.

I 100% agree.

Awful everything, looks terrible. And it isn't a result of the Switchs hardware, just optimization as always...

Edit: yes the switch is less "capable" but it IS a capable machine, BOTW and other games have shown that.

I mean there really is no proper excuse for DBD not running smooth as butter. Everything in the game is bolted down with the exception of some pretty still particle effects, not to mention that the game is built on the Unreal engine which is already pretty darn good. My best guess is due to their inexperience and their small team back when they first made DBD they took a lot of shortcuts, made a bunch of mistakes, and well

It's just kind of bloated from there
