This is annoying. You purchased a new game on Switch, or perhaps need to download a major update. The process begins, and then you walk away and do something else. Only you come back Later, when the switch is in sleep modesomehow it’s not finished yet. The good news is that it’s a glitch that makes Nintendo devices picky about downloads while resting.
According to the new system update, It is time to resolve this ongoing issue. This week’s firmware update 19.0.1 includes the following patch notes provided via dataminer OatMealDome:
- Fixed an issue where GameCube controllers might not be recognized.
- Fixed an issue where communication processes such as downloading may not function properly in sleep mode.
It’s a small fix, to be sure, but one that has a major impact on usability and low-key quality of life for Switch players. The device’s WiFi is already terrible, so download pauses in sleep mode are particularly annoying. imagine The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Come out in the middle of the night. You boot up the installation and go to sleep, and eight hours later, somehow still download?
Another bug fix in the update that may affect far fewer players, but for Brawl fan. The console has recently had trouble recognizing GameCube controllers connected using an adapter, which is a common thing for platform fighter fans who grew up on it Melee Incarnation. It sounds like those connectivity issues have now been resolved as well.
Now, all the Switch needs is sleep mode, which consumes less battery when not downloading anything. The only thing worse than waiting for a game to install is returning to your Switch and seeing battery life left in the single digits. Hope Switch 2 Able to tap into any dark magic powering it PlayStation Vita’s power saving mode.
