It 's crashing for switch no matter what you try and do. resume a world create a new one it just closes the software. I'm sad because it made dst for switch unplayable for me. I have a switch lite if that matters :C

[trinket_4]

when will it be available on south america eshop?

[rhoddys]

Ah just at the end of the month! This is so wonderful, can't wait to play around with this update! ^-^

[nome]

Anyone having crash issues, we'd love to hear more details! Device, language, anything you think might be particular to your setup. We're not able to reproduce the issue on our end on any of our devices so we're very keen to find out what the magic detail is.

I played fine this morning. Went to get breakfast, came back and saw the a little drama update, woohoo! Downloaded it. Went to delete a world and start a new one so I could see all the update stuff( the stage of course had to be first). Anywho, that didn't happen. It gave me the " this software.was closed because an error occurred" screen and kicked my back to nintendo switch home screen. Sooo I tried deleting ALL of my worlds, like oh maybe all the old stuff it messing it up, NOPE, that didn't fix it. I tried deleting the game and re downloading it, nah did not work. I also tried restarting the switch and making sure it was up to date, that did not fix it either. I've tried joining other ppl too and I can't. 

Once the server starts and is generating the world and its like on the loading screen where it gives you a helpful tip and a pretty background of like Wolfgang carrying a turkey dinner, it kicks me out of the game yo the Nintendo switch home screen. 

 

Oh yeah, a couple of my old worlds which were survival or madness, turned into social after thr update, how the heck? 

 

I live in CA, USA. English. Have a regular switch, (not the lite or oled). I usually rollback a lot. Sometimes it doesn't rollback and I just exist the whole game. Uuum idk what else to tell you to help. Uuum love you guys! Thanks for being there for us.

Bruh I figured it out, it's the auto login feature. I disabled it and then I could play. When I enabled it again, I could NOT PLAY. 

 

[Hellornoway]

Ill try turning off the auto login and see if that works 

Edited December 1, 2022 by Hellornoway

[Hellornoway]

It worked auto login is the problem also when will there be a small world option for switch or medium sized?

[hittamm]

Hey so, it feels a little bit laggy when walking through a regular biome. Can we get graphic setting to low or normal instead of high ? and disable bloom or blur stuff ?

EDIT : Nevermind sorry, it was great literally far from super lag like the first launch performance. The kitting combat are fixed, too bad i had to hold the (Y) button instead of pressing it repeatedly for fast attack because it just won't do (probably the performance not quite 100% PC like yet). But overall everything are sooo much better now~ !!!! Thanks for the hard work !!!
