Cant enter the turrets in salmon run. ZL does nothing.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I'm purely on wifi and I've been fine.

 

[Anteo]

Is communications errors just a server issue? Like, would getting a wired connection vs a wireless one help at all?

The game is peer 2 peer. So if one player disconnects often they try a wired connection, i wont necesarily solve the problems but it may help.

 

[Lucario]

Purely on wifi, US servers.

No disconnects in the 30+ hours of play between everyone in the apartment.

 

[panthapanda]

Lost my keys last night and my switch is in my car. I hope I can find my spare set of keys lol

 

[atmuh]

maybe I'm in the minority here but does anyone else feel that the music in this game is a step down from the first one? I've already started lowering the volume so I can just hear faint sfx and have been playing my own music.

 

[Biske]

For what it's worth I'm on fios and using a USB Ethernet adapter and I'm not getting connection errors at all. (USA)

Same here.

If you are on Wifi thats the problem, Switch wifi is awful.

 

[goldenpp72]

Did they remove the money for streaks in this? Talking to the cat doesn't do it, figured i'd ask.

 

[atmuh]

I have seen no difference between playing on wired and wireless in terms of connection issues

 

[Lucario]

Same here.

Streaks are based on weapon now, can't figure out how they work other than that.

Hm, maybe I just need to run out and get the adapter then. My internet isn't great to begin with, so that may be the source of at least some of my woes.

Hold ZL.

I mean, I cant speak to other people's experience. but in the US my wired connection is flawless.

Wireless? Disconnects every.... oh I dunno 45 seconds.

 

[Earthpainting]

I wish they'd randomise the kitties. I want to make Lil Judd proud.

 

[Captain_Wreckus]

having a coffee at Tim Hortons. Debating if I should try to connect to their public wifi and see if I can get a game or two of turfwar in.

MacDonalds wifi sucks as it wouldn't allow me yesterday.

 

[Robiin]

Is it normal to just get completely shut down sometimes in turf war? Like, can't get 10 meters past the spawn point...

 

[Eggiem]

Hold ZL.

thx.

 

[psychowave]

So when will we first know sales data for this? I'm very curious to see the attach rate.

 

[jiiikoo]

I'm not a Splatoon expert, but I think so? My team did that to one team earlier today. And it has happened to my team once too, but that time we were a two man team against 4.

 

[Lucario]

Octobrush is a great "Fuck it, we hit the quota, ruuuuun" weapon, if nothing else. Actually saved a Pro run by chickening out for the last couple of seconds when everyone else was dead. lol I haven't really figured out the weapon otherwise. >.>

Splatling's genuinely great imo. Good range and boss-killing power like the Charger with the added bonus of mob-killing power without having to line up a shot. Lousy egg runner though. Prefer to let everyone else do the egg running while I focus on keeping the swarm in check.

did similar with the octobrush last second earlier today; felt great lol

My issue with the splatling is how chaotic everything gets in round 3; without the mobility to run away, or dash to a faraway stinger, I die a ton.

 

[Vic]

I use WiFi and my connection has always been spot on (802.11ac).

 

[watershed]

That means you/your team is getting dominated. Not exactly the norm, I think.

 

[Golgo 13]

Yo... why is it impossible to find a room for Salmon Run? Third day I've tried and after many many attempts there's "no rooms found". What am I doing wrong?

 

[Biske]

For WII U it was always fine, but for Switch... 100% unplayable.

It's not even an option for me. I've heard you have to be on like 5.0 Wifi or whatever.

 

[Seth Enosh]

Yo... why is it impossible to find a room for Salmon Run? Third day I've tried and after many many attempts there's "no rooms found". What am I doing wrong?

It's nearly instant for me. Is it possible you have a NAT issue or some other connection issue? Or region based issue?

 

[MrCookiepants]

Salmon Run is so amazing.

 

[taoofjord]

Not one disconnect in the US over wifi.

 

[Chopper Dave]

With a bad/incomplete team yes. After the match is over check for people who scored 0. It means they disconnected. I played Splatoon 1 within the last weeks before the sequel. The rush of beginners in 2 makes teams easily unbalanced and that situation common enough.

 

[Biske]

Should have no problems going solo and getting matched up.

 

[Luigi87]

I love everything about this game. From the music, the gameplay, the visuals, and the aesthetics.
I love the different logos for things like Salmon Run, and I love the radio speaker-style music for its music.

 

[Anson225]

Does anyone know how the increase (or decrease) in Salmon Run is calculated?
Sometimes it only increase by like 20 (out of 99)
But once it shot up through to the next rank to 40

 

[Gotdatmoney]

I'm so bad lol

 

[The Technomancer]

How do I pick up something I ordered from Spike? I don't see him in the back right alley. Do I need to be a certain level?

you aren'tt buying from spike, you're buying from that little nightmare cyclops outside of the multiplayer lobby.

 

[Antiwhippy]

He's like right of the entrance of the lobby.

Some decent closed cans are available on Splatnet

[Chopper Dave]

I also want to say my connection history has been flawless the 10 or so hours I've played. Disconnects were common between matches for some reason in the splatfest. It's smooth as butter now. Using wifi docked next to my router.

 

[Shauni]

Started to play, instantly got a communication error within 10 seconds of the game. Then played two all the way through, on the losing side because of course I was, and then got 4 communication errors in a row, all within about 30 seconds. Five experience buffs wasted in less than 2 minutes.

Fuck it, I'm just going to run out and get the wired adapter. I have no idea if it'll help, but the game is becoming near unplayable at this point.

 

[Anteo]

Are you sure you are on the right building?
Maybe you are on the lan bulding and it isnt finding any game around you.

The salmon run building is in a alley left of the lobby.

 

[Branduil]

Man Starfish Mainstage is just feast or famine. Seems like it's always a rout one way or the other.

 

[TheSun]

Splatoon 3 should introduce a new mode.

It shall be called Splat Ops: The Line.

Peeps will be writing about it for years.

 

[taoofjord]

Any recommended sensitivity setting for motion controls?

 

[JershJopstin]

Did you even read the article to notice it doesn't answer the question?

 

[OverturePT]

Today is weird, I completed two salmon runs only to lose the experience later by being disconnected in two runs. Didn't have any problems prior to today with the full game.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

You're probably in the wrong building. The Shoal is for LAN play. Regular Salmon Run is in the shop behind the main lobby building, to the left.

Btw but does anybody know how to use squid beacons? I place them in the maps, but I cannot work out how to super jump to them (nor do any of my teammates).

I use motion control to select them. I guess using the stick works too.

Same here, and spent the whole time climbing back to where I started

Can you see your deaths anywhere in a match?

Yep, was in the wrong building. Strange spot for a new game mode that will likely be used 100x more than LAN play :/

I know you can see them on SplatNet.
