N-Switch player; playaround crashing traversing zones

[eddibear]

Hi, there is this known issue with the switch that the game might freeze when entering certain traversing zones since the DLC is installed because of memory problems as I understood. I think this will be fixed within the next months and as a switch player I learned to be patient and grateful that the game is there at all with this weak hardware. I am still exploring FA and ZoC and realized that I can not return to Transfer pass. Also I had problems getting from TWM to PV and got stuck from PV to Keepers pass. My question is if somebody has knowledge which paths and regions work and like to share information because I would like to start a new run and plan possible routes.

Is the Ravine working?

Sorry I'm not a Switch player, so don't have any direct help for you. But this question might be better asked at the Technical Discussions sub-forum so people like @Player_Support are more likely to see it, or perhaps even contacting Hinterlands directly with a Ticket so they could update the "Known Issues" with advice for other players experiencing this problem.

Yes, I was thinking about that, too. But since the technical cause seems to be addressed already, I was hoping to find a better way just to deal with it the way it is. Thank you for noticing and your advice. I guess I will setup some tryanderror-runs by the time I'm feed up with my current run.

Hey Eddibear, 

Unfortunately we don't have a definitive breakdown of which locations this won't occur in. However, other players are welcome to chime in if they have better luck in specific areas! Our sincerest apologies again for the issue.

Hello Eddibear

I have started at least 6 long runs since the FT DLC came out for the Switch, 

All starting in Ash Canyon

And so far, in none of them the transition from TWM to PV worked,

But the connection TWM to BR and TWR to AC worked 

But beside this "Safe" Route I Couldn't find any reproducable route, and are now stuck in 3 runs

In the meantime I have got into the habit to pass time or sleep near every transition for at least 1h to trigger an autosave, so I can check again with a fresh rebooted Switch in case the game crashes. If the second try did not Work either, I consider this way blocked and try to use "walk-arounds" via other transitionroutes

My best/longest Route in a run: 

AC - TWM - BR - PV - FM - BR - TP - FT, back to FM - BI, back to FM, were the run is now stuck, can only move between BI and FM

 

Best regards and good runs

Great Dachs, thank you for your input! I actually am finished now with exploring FA and ZOC and started a run in AC to figure out a route. So your report comes just in time.

I wonder if anyone with a Switch was actually able to do Signal Void?! Because there is no return from FA to TP. You would have to repair all signal stations before you get to FA and find the radio.

Is there a Switch player who completed Signal Void out there? These days it's hard to avoid all the comments regarding the updates and not get it spoiled for me 🙈😂
