To follow up on my initial comment here from March 16th:

Sadly, the issue still persists in 1.19.71.

It seems like the freezes are shorter now in 1.19.71 compared to 1.19.70, at least from our experience (often just around 5 seconds, compared to the 30+ seconds I've observed in 1.19.70), but also occur more often, although we can't find a pattern as to what specific action causes them.

I've uploaded a video (switch_stutter_freezes_1_19_71.mp4) where you can clearly see the freezes/stutter when me and a friend are just walking through (previously already explored) parts of our world.

We've also tried creating a brand new world, but that doesn't make any difference. We've also tried all the other obvious troubleshooting steps, including turning down the graphics settings, logging out and back in again, clearing the cache (which only seems to affect the marketplace?) and even reinstalling the game completely.

Since this issue happens for both our Nintendo Switch consoles and has started appearing for both of us at the same time, immediately after the 1.19.70 update, I am pretty sure some change from that update is causing these severe performance issues on Nintendo Switch.

I can confirm this has been happening to me and my friend too since 1.19.70. If me or my friend play alone on our Realm, performance seems fine, but once the other person joins we get severe (30+ seconds) freezes as well as generally a lot of stutters.

If one person plays on Switch and one on PS5, the person on Switch gets the freezes and stutter and on PS5 the performance seems worse than before the update too (with frequent stutters), but it’s not as severe as on the Switch.
