Earlier this month, Deck13 Interactive and Radical Fish Games their 2D action RPG CrossCode on the Nintendo Switch. As much as we enjoyed the game, admittedly it contained some annoying performance issues and a few other problems.
Developer Deck13 has now submitted patch 1.0.8 to Nintendo, and it's expected to go live later today:
This patch will not only resolve multiple performance issues but also a number of bugs. Here's the full rundown:
- Fixed the Botanics Menu Crash
- Fixed the traders Menu Crash
- Fixed the Switch exclusive Boss Battle fight bugs
- Fixed multiple smaller issues
- Fixed NPCs in Towns and overland causing Performance issues
- Fixed the Audiolag caused by Performance Issues
- Fixed Japanese bugs
- Fixed the slowed down menu
- Fixed various asian character display-bugs
As for Deck13's future support for the game - it wants to start working on implementing New Game Plus and the 1.3 features:

Does this read "Fixed the Switch-exclusive boss battle fight bugs," or "Fixed the Switch-exclusive boss battle fight bugs?"
@Fath Deck13's exact words:
"Fixed the Switch exlusive Boss Battle fight bugs"

Nice, that menu bugs gets on my nerves.
I'm hoping this patch and any other updates end up on the cart day 1 for when the physical version comes out since I've already got that pre ordered.
@javiboy2 Was just wondering about that. Probably too late though given the release date is about 7 weeks out.
@Fath I think the Switch exclusive bugs in Boss battle fights;-)
@Liam_Doolan Yeah, I get that you're just reporting faithfully (typo in there and all) - the original statement is ambiguous, though. Was hoping somebody in the comments might have enough external game knowledge to chime in on whether the game actually has Switch-exclusive bosses, or just Switch-exclusive bugs.
@Joekun You sure about that? Strictly limited still has it listed for an October/November release, unless they had it moved up.
I would have bought this on release day if I didn't already know about how poorly it performed. Now I'll just wait for it to go on sale. I have no issue with patches fixing some minor bugs post release but this game clearly had more than just a few minor bugs going on. If a developer chooses to put its game out before it's ready to be released, then they won't be getting any money off me, at least until it goes on sale. I've been burned a few times on Switch but no more.
@javiboy2 @Joekun on Amazon it's listed for August 28th...
Only reason I haven’t gotten this game yet is because I’m in the middle of two or three other titles. CrossCode was always going to be the next game I bought, barring Nintendo shadow-dropping the Metroid Prime collection or something, but I am pleased to hear the menu hang-ups have been patched. As far as I know, that was the only major quibble with the port.
@OorWullie considering that the developer said it would probably never run on the Switch when the PC version was released it seems to run quite well.
It has higher system requirements than you would assume when looking at it because it was built entirely with HTML5 and other web technologies which isn't the most efficient for a game in terms of performance.
Playing this one on gamepass, was pleasantly delighted by how awesome it is.
Glad they're fixing known bugs for the game, I'm still playing through Trails of Cold Steel 3 but I'll be getting through this as soon as I finish that one.
Happy this game got fixed. I wanted it day one but didn’t buy because the bugs mentioned. I will grab it on sales though, I am too busy right + I just got dragons dogma and assassins creed rebel. I have countless hours of gaming right in front of me 😁
I was waiting on a fix for the performance issues many reviewers mentioned and maybe this is it! Been wanting to give this game a try for quite some time.
I have been playing this game on pc for the last days and it is a joy to play. The story may not be for everyone but it has some clever level design and puzzles and a light atmosphere. cant say anything about the switch performance though
@Jokerwolf off topic: Gamepass is the best thing, God bless Phil lol
@koldKat @javiboy2 Oh, well even less chance of the fix being on the cart. I was going by Play-Asia’s release date. Maybe Strictly Limited will have a different version though.
@Danito Oh it is amazing, especially GamePass Ultimate because you get a ton on PC too, and xCloud is getting added to Ultimate at no cost increase.
