    I just recently got Wonders of Sodor on Nintendo Switch two weeks ago and for the past couple of days I’ve been experiencing some crashes during gameplay. When I first got it, it was working alright and fine and first, until last week when I started receiving error messages during gameplay saying something went wrong and it bring me right back to my Nintendo Switch menu homepage. So far it has crashed on me like four or five times on occasion. I’ve uninstalled the game and I’m now currently reinstalling it to see if that makes a different, plus, I went to my Nintendo Switch data a management to check to see if there was any corruptive data causing the issue.

    The results come back and it says there’s no corruptive data causing the problem. I’m not 100% sure if that’s how the game really is when it was programmed for the system, or if there’s a bug issue in the game entirely. According to what I’ve read on the Wonders of Sodor Community Facebook fan page and on Reddit, two other people/users are experiencing the same problem when they play it too.

    Here is a screenshot of the error message I keep receiving when I play it. Is anyone else having this same problem too?

    Sorry to hear the game is crashing. When the game crashed, was it on a particular story or a timetable service?

    I’ve put a lot of time into it on the oled and switch 2 but despite its shortcomings I have never seen a crash. Try a different SD card I one had a similar problem on BOtW which clearly no one else was having and that solved it

    It happen a couple of times while I was playing both Explore and Timetable mode. I recently uninstalled it and redownloaded it again to see if it makes a difference, but unfortunately no luck and it did it to me again for the sixth time. Once I reset the game again and replay one of the timetable modes, it didn’t do it again that time. Like I said, I’m not sure if that’s how the game really is when playing it, it’s probably just a thing I gotta get use too. It only happens on occasion.

    Plus, as I mentioned. These two users had the same problem as well.

    All I know is that it did it to me when I was playing Thomas’ Timetable Mode, that’s all I know. I don’t recall if it happen with other characters I used when playing it, when I was playing Percy’s Timetable mode, I don’t recall seeing the game crashing when using him. Unfortunately that’s all the information I can give out of the issue for now, the only time it crashes is on occasion.

    Also I just want to clarify to you guys that it’s not your fault this keeps happening. I just wanted to respectfully give out feedback of the issue I was receiving, thank you for understanding. Hopefully their will be a patch in the future to resolve the Switch version.

    Update:

    So far I’ve replying it recently and I haven’t experienced anymore crashes during gameplay. I’ve reed the reason why it kept happening was because of memory leaks and procedural memory handling of its port, due to the Switch limited hardware.

    If I wasted everyone’s time about this problem I experienced, I deeply apologize. That’s according to what I’ve reed on google when researching this issue.
