Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Bugs & Technical Problems Regular crashes on Switch since order&magic update

Played 5 hours today in handheld mode, I experienced only 1 crash at the oil rig battle with lots of visual effects.

[quote=shadowmere]I am surprised QA can't reproduce this, over 50% of fights I do end up crashing, usually bigger ones with more visual effects where the game lags a bit and usually while casting a spell with visual effect. Any fights with multiple characters and a few environmental effects life fire, electrified water, steam and such will usually crash. It also seems like playing very slowly reduces the chance of crashing. So find a fight thats been reported to crash, get the most environmental effects everywhere and cast a ton of spells very quickly. Thats a 90% chance of crash on my switch. Handheld mode for me, havent tried dock mode.

For me the crashing seems way less frequent in handheld compared to docked but it is still there.
The switch does perform differently depending on whether it is docked or not; 1080p vs 720p, over/under clocking of the GPU. So if the crashed are caused by visual effects, that could explain why at least I experience a difference between docked vs undocked. If QA tests the game undocked and has to play for +5 hours (like I did today) to experience a crash, I don't find it strange that they cannot reproduce this.
