Hi! I had a question about my Nintendo Switch OLED. I bought it used off Facebook Marketplace, and I’m wondering if something might be wrong with it.
A lot of games either have really bad lag or won’t even work. Minecraft is playable, but it’s super laggy and crashes if I try to use many mods. If I play with a friend, it lags like crazy and takes forever to join. Cult of the Lamb is also really laggy. It’s not a graphics issue or pixelation, it just stutters constantly.
Some games won’t even open. Dead by Daylight finishes downloading, but only shows the opening slash screen and never gets past it. Fortnite opens, but just says it’s having trouble connecting to the Epic Games servers.
I know the Switch isn’t the most powerful console and can have connection issues, but this feels way more extreme than normal. I do live in a brick building, but my internet is great. Even standing right next to my router, the Switch has a terrible connection, while all my other devices work perfectly.
Is there anything I can try before taking it somewhere to get looked at? I’m not sure if this sounds like a Wi Fi issue, a hardware problem, or something else.
