Explanation

I’m not sure if this is necessarily a bug or not, but I wasn’t sure which discussion to put this under. I have a Nintendo switch and that’s how I play my dbd. When I first got the game, I would play under my hot spot and never had any serious issues with lagging out of a game and getting kicked. I ended up getting WiFi so my phone wouldn’t get super hot after running the hotspot, and I still rarely had issues with losing network connection, except for a few rounds here and there. Well, as of the last month, maybe even two months, I have had SERIOUS issues with getting kicked out of both online and custom games. Last night, I played about 5-6 rounds (started off with online and then moved over to custom), and there was only ONE game that I did not get kicked out. This has been happening so much, and it is getting very frustrating, especially when I get lagged out of online games constantly and suddenly I’m having to wait to play another round because I’ve been banned from matchmaking. I can’t even wait in a lobby for too long before it kicks me out, back to the Home Screen, saying I have a problem with the network connection when no other device or game is having issues on the wifi. So, I definitely know that it’s a problem between dbd and the switch. Are other switch players complaining about this problem and is there any way to get it fixed?
