I know mine lags because like every square of my island has a flower on it, but could they really not optimize the game so that it could run even under strenuous general play?
Yea frame rate drops have been happening on my island forever... it sucks nintendo hasnt rolled out any stabilization fixes for it. I'm also not sure if its my system just being old and not great or what, because some of my friends tell me they dont experience any lags in the places where I experience it when they visit my town.
I also have no clue if it would be better if I played docked since I've only played on handheld so far.
In one very specific area where multiple cliff levels and flowers combine at an incline, and I don't know if it's just the flowers or if the wedding set on the third cliff nearby has something to do with it. There's also a waterfall on the other side of Marina's house that used to cause trouble, but I think cutting down the flowers in my forest area behind that waterfall has helped a lot.
Do you have a memory card and if so what kind and how big?? I dont know if anyones mentioned this.. but I heard somewhere that if you add a big memory card it could help maybe ??

That's disappointing though I've been seeing this a lot lately on videos I've been watching.... I plan to use up a lot of space so I hope it doesnt happen to me.. I'm not even sure if I'm using my memory card or not but it's in there.. switch(lite)
No lag for me, and my island has a huge flower dump. I have a digital copy of the game and have lots if room on my SD card if that matters.
I do have a problem with furniture “popping in” sometimes though, like a pool or something if I sprint across my island. Does that count? I don’t have the game slow down, it’s just obvious that the item hasn’t loaded for a second
I have massive lag issues but I also play on a switch gotten at launch. Fairly high SD card, and physical cart. It's very bad but I stopped trying to fight it bc I want my island actually developed and not barren.
yup.. especially the very decorated areas. frequently happens in my outdoor diner area ):
I also kept lots of bugs and flowers in one spot for a while and it lagged soooo much.
I don't think flower cause it though because litterely every spot of my island is covered with them, it's always furniture
Any object that needs to be graphically rendered (and also loaded into memory) will likely take a hit on the FPS. So having multiple flowers on screen at once I would bet does cause performance issues of some scale. I'm sure though the flowers do very little harm compared to some furniture items, like fountains.
I feel I experienced a weird sudden lag last night, I was playing from 2am to 5, and by 4:30 items in the background took more time than usual to load. I don't know if it's because I've been playing too much?
I don't have any lag, but my Switch has started getting warm (which has never happened before) and sometimes I get worried about it getting overheated. I'm starting to suspect that's due to all my overgrown flowers, so I've been slowly digging them up and selling them at Nook's. Six inventories of flowers down, and about twenty more to go. Sigh.... All those poor, broken shovels... xD
Yes so much! I have 2 areas in particular overrun with flowers that make my game lag. I have another area with both flowers (thou not many) and stacks of bug cases for Flick that make my game lag as well.
For me, I have floor lights all over my carnival grounds, and many times they don't load in time or otherwise clip in and out of existence. This also happens when I fly over my island.
I haven't had this issue luckily. My island is only at 4 stars and isabelle keeps telling me my scenery is lacking and i need to decorate my island from one end to the other. Here's a weird one though, my friend she has lag when swimming. Obviously you can't decorate in the water so i cant imagine what's causing it.
I got lag but the strange thing is it's in front of public services... not in the forest full of trees, weeds and flowers... not in the hybrid flower fields with also a lot of bushes and decoration. No at PS where there is well... ok some decoration but not as much as at the other places.
It happens a lot when there is any gathering of villagers in the town square, and I've been adding a lot of trees back into the map and the lag ring seems to be spreading outward as I plant more.
i definitely experienced a lag before in the area on my island that was literally cluttered with flowers, items and with a waterfall next to it. i have already cleared up the said area and everything went back to normal. but so far i haven't experienced that issue on the other parts of my island, however it makes me worry that after i finish decorading my town everything will be laggy because i plan to have a lot of flowers and they seem to be one of the main reasons why the frames drop.
