Relay this seems like the most malicious compliance way of solving the frame rate issue which is just removing the cap entirely, which is such a dumb idea, especially in the docked mode without VRR. In the portable mode I can see the logic but I really feel like they could tune the game of a bit more to have a really solid 30, 40, and 60 FPS mode. Or maybe a solid 30 and 40 FPS mode with an uncapped VRR mode that goes a bit above 40 maybe in handheld.

So instead of actually finding and fixing the root cause of the input lag problem, they just turned off v-sync to claw back some milli-seconds and called it a day?
I really shouldn’t be surprised by Bethesda’s shoddy work at this point.

Man I was really looking forward to this port but now I’m not even surprised about its poor quality. Guess I’ll play something else.

Can’t wait to see how much of a disaster the fallout game will be. Because god knows they can’t do anything right

Im gonna guess this is from a extremely poor implementation of dlss hammering the cpu too hard. No other version of skyrim has it ( at least natively) so its probably the biggest change.

I didn’t pay a dime for the “upgrade” to the Switch 2 version (you get the Switch 2 version free if you already owned the Anniversary Edition on Switch 1), and I still want my money back.
Would genuinely not recommend upgrading. It’s 50GB on the SD card/memory and it’s a *worse* experience than just playing the Switch 1 version on Switch 2.

I’m not getting motion sickness from it anymore but the input lag is still noticeable.

I thought about buying this and then saw it was $60. Laughable for a 15 year old game with a buggy port.

Anyone who bought this decade old game on their S2 deserve it. This game is massively overrated and knowing how shoddy Bethesda has been in recent years should have given people the heads up.

Was thinking of buying it, I think i will wait longer.

Why the fuck is anyone still playing Skyrim in 2026? Like there are so many good games out.

Never underestimate how shitty the creation engine is. And those that keep using it.
