Is anyone else having this problem with their switch 2 where the game keeps playing but every so often the screen cuts out it last 2 seconds at most but can ruin game play.

Any one have any thoughts or the same issue?

This has happened with Cyberpunk and Kart World, but more often with CP.

This occasionally happened to me with Switch 1 but hasn't happened with Switch 2 yet, even though I'm still using the same television. It wasn't/isn't that common though, maybe a couple of times a month, so maybe it might happen with the new console too.

That happens to me occasionally on my Series X and Series S. I have tried switching out cords, different HDMI ports on my TV and the only thing I can come up with is it has something to do with the TV. Not quite sure what but that's the only thing I can come up with.

Sounds like cable issues or the TV can't handle the connections.

It's happened to me with both Switches now, and the best advice I could find online that worked to ameliorate it for S1 (that has also now worked for S2) is to unplug the TV for like 30 seconds and try again. It hasn't reoccured on my S2 yet, and for my S1, it was very infrequent, thereafter.

Based on my surfing, I believe it's somehow tied to the FPS the system is demanding from the TV, but, of course, I don't really know.

It happened to me with Switch 2 already 2-3 times. Never happened with switch 1.
With Series X maybe once or twice in 4 years

@ca122 I think this has to do with voltage dropping and causing the dock to drop out temporarily. I can't say it is the case yet but I have moved the AC adapter off of the surge protector and connected to a power cord with a tighter grip and it hasn't happened yet. I would suggest checking out your cord set up and seeing if the power from the USBC is correct and consistent.

Tldr it's like when your phone says the USB connection isn't good all your charge rate is reduced, but the system is blacking out.

Maybe solved?

My PS4 does that, but none of my other consoles do.

Definitely not solved.
