Brawlout dev on Switch issues and further details on next update
After it was first made known in August, the Switch version of Brawlout released on Switch this week. It was confirmed a few days ago that a patch is due out very soon. The update is arriving “shortly after launch which addresses any minor frame stutters or crashes”.
Interestingly, it seems there’s a bit more to the patch. Angry Mob Games shared a few more details with fans over on Reddit.
Here’s the full status update on Switch:
First off, we’re aware of the framedrops that are happening in single-player mode on the Switch. The bug is related to the AI, so you won’t see this in matches against human opponents or in replays on your player profile. The team is working on a fix.
Second, Yes, there is an issue with matchmaking on the Switch. It’s currently not matching players by region as intended, this is something the team is also working on.
As soon as it’s ready, the team will send the patch off to Nintendo. Here’s what you can expect from the game’s first update:
Planned for the next update on Switch
- A fix for matchmaking not putting players together by region.
- Performance improvements.
- a fix for Character and stage selection being blocked by locked content.
- Progression and unlock improvements. We’ve heard you and are making some tweaks.
- Ranked matchmaking.
- Brawlout TV. Watch live and recent matches, and view your match history and replays.
- Code redemption. If you’ve received a code for cosmetics or items at any of our events, they’ll soon be redeemable on the Switch version of the game.
We haven’t forgotten about PC players, though! We have an update coming out for you guys soon bringing Juan and bugfixes!
Thanks to Fredy R for the tip.
