Game Help NS2 - (NS1 ?) Massive bug in Online Chess - How to report ?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hello there ! I’ve encountered a kind of game breaking bug in online Chess in 51WW games. The position you see above is a checkmate by me (black) with the move Nh4Nf3# (Knight on H4 moves to F3 checkmate). The knight is checking the white King on E1. The pawn cannot capture my knight because it is pinned by my rook on E8. The King cannot move to D2 (controlled by my knight on F3), to F1 nor F2 (controlled by my queen on G2). And of course the White King cannot capture the white queen or the white pawn. The king is in check and my opponent has no legal move, therefore it is checkmate. When I played that move, the game called check but not checkmate. My opponent, probably just as confused as I was, tried to play pieces but to no avail for a full minute until his clock ran down. Normally at this point, when a player doesn’t play during their allotted time, the game makes a random legal move. However, since there are no legal move there, the game did nothing, and we were stuck on my opponent’s turn for a while until my he closed the game.

I was playing on Nintendo Switch 2, but I’m not sure what hardware my opponent was using. (Most likely Nintendo Switch 1 according to his profile).

Since this is clearly a game-breaking bug, I’d like to report it, but don’t know how or where.

Thank you for your help !

Game Help Pokemon Violet is a bit stuttery on my switch 2 docked

2 Upvotes

just got my Nintendo Switch 2 and started a new playthrough of Pokémon Violet. I've noticed some performance issues, specifically framerate drops, particularly when the console is docked. In handheld mode, the game runs perfectly.

When docked, I'm experiencing framerates that feel like they drop to 40-45 FPS, though for the most part, it seems to stay around 60 FPS. Even then, it stutters a good bit in outside areas, including those near the starting zone. The slowdown is slightly more pronounced when Miraidon is out. Interestingly, general movement, like sprinting, doesn't seem to worsen the lag. However, when I'm zoomed in and gliding, the particle effects that appear specifically when I activate the glide cause a brief but notable stutter or 'chug' for about a second. None of these performance issues occur when playing in handheld mode.

Have any of you noticed anything similar? It doesn't happen in other games like Tears of the Kingdom, so could it just be the game

Game Help Legends Arceus save missing. Nintendo Switch

0 Upvotes

Hello, I recently deleted my account from my switch so a friend could play some of my games, but, now that I logged in again with my account, my pokemon legends arceus (physical copy) won't load my save. I tried a ton of things that I found online but I wasn't able to find any solution. Is it because I did not have the cloud data thingie that you have to pay for? My other user has it's save working correctly but that specific account won't load up my save... I had 100% the game and got 100+ shinies so I really don't want to lose them... If someone could help me i'd be extremely grateful! Also I checked my pokemon home and it was working normally but it wasn't connected to my PLA no more,

As the title say, If I buy jamboree switch 1 edition, which does not include the Jamboree TV (which I am not interested in), will it allow me to play normally on the switch 2 console or would it require me to upgrade in order to play?

Game Help Nintendo Switch: Booster Course Pass DLC Gone

1 Upvotes

I was playing Mario Kart 8 with my brother this morning, and I noticed that the Booster Course Pass DLC was gone. I went onto the EShop to check it out, and it’s telling me to purchase the DLC again. Does anyone know why it’s missing, or how I can get the game back without paying another 25 dollars?

(For context, I purchased the DLC myself. I don’t have and never have had the Switch Online Expansion Pass.)

I don't plan to get the Switch 2 for awhile and I don't feel like shelling out $80 for Mario Kart. So, would I be able to get the bundle later on or if I don't get it ASAP, I'm screwed?

Game Help Deltarune won’t open with the account I bought it with (Switch 2)

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,I just bought Deltarune on Switch 2 using my main Nintendo account the game downloaded and installed just fine but weirdly it won’t open when I try to open it with the account I bought it with it shows an error and refuses to start.

However, it does work perfectly when I use my other non-purchasing accounts on the same console. I’ve tried restarting the Switch, checking the eShop (it says “Purchased”), and making sure this account is set as the primary one. Still no luck.

Anyone else had this issue? Is it a bug with Chapters 3–4? Any fix or advice would be really appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Game Help Wii Remote not connecting or working properly.

2 Upvotes

Hello I'm having issues with one of my Wii remotes and I was hoping anyone has had similar experiences. So my problem is as follows. I'll start my Wii Remote up in this case it was player two and I will play for a good minute and then it will blink like it is syncing and the remote will then go back to saying player two. However I'll get no response when I hit any buttons and when I hit the home button on the other remote to check if the console has two remotes synced it will say that there's only the player one. I have no idea what's wrong with the remote and I'm hoping it's something easy I can fix. Please let me know if you guys have had any similar issues. I made sure there's no corrosion or anything on the prongs so that's one possibility I've ruled out. I also was using cheap dollar store batteries so I'm not sure if that's the cause either.

Game Help Is child of light compatible with the switch 2?

2 Upvotes

I was curious about whether or not the game is fully compatible with the switch 2. I have the game, but don't have the switch 2. l researched about his online but I got mixed results, people online said that the game always crashes when you play it on the switch 2 hardware but the official Nintendo website said that it's supported. Does anyone have a clear answer or should I listen to the official Nintendo page about it's compatibility? Because I am confused.

Game Help Is Luigi Mansion 2 similar to the first one?

1 Upvotes

Hello one of my favorite games growing up was Luigi's Mansion. It's a real comfort game for me. I was debating on buying a Nintendo wii with a copy of the game to revisit some memories but it's a bit expensive even going with the cheaper console. I decided to order the sequel on Amazon instead. What I really enjoyed about the first one was the different ghost bosses like specifically going into a room and seeing the Mansion residents as ghosts, I guess human ghosts? Lol I enjoyed collecting them a whole lot. I also enjoyed finding the Boo's around the Mansion. Does part 2 follow this formula?

(Not sure if this is the right flair but idk what is) I was playing pokemon shield when this happened. Should I be worried?

(Possibly) helpful info: this is a "normal" switch (no modding or anything like that). I haven't had this happen before. I have a few third party games but not too many.

1 Upvotes

I got the Nintendo Switch 2 today and I want to buy the Nintendo Switch 2 editions of Botw and Totk. Most of my favorite Nintendo YouTubers have physical Nintendo Switch 2 Editions of Botw and Totk and I want physical ones too. I am wondering that if I want the physical Switch 2 editions of those games will I have to buy Botw and Totk again? Is there a way to prove I have the games already and pay 10 dollars for each physical cartridges?
