Fixing performance issues in Tails of Iron 2 on Nintendo Switch
Even though Tails of Iron 2 Whiskers of Winter is a light game and does not necessarily require extremely good hardware, it is still performing poorly on Nintendo Switch for some players. Here is a look at what could be causing these FPS dips:

1) Poor Internet Connection
One possible reason behind players facing stuttering while gaming can be slow internet. Temporarily, you can put your Switch on Airplane Mode while playing Tails of Iron 2.
You can also use a wired connection. To confirm if the stuttering is caused by an internet issue, try connecting your Switch to the internet via your phone's mobile hotspot. If you believe it is your Wi-Fi that is messing things up, contact your internet service provider.
2) Update your game and Nintendo Switch firmware
Ensure that there are no pending updates for Whiskers of Winter. While you are at it, check if your Switch is using the latest Switch firmware. An outdated version of the game or firmware can often lead to poor performance while gaming.
3) Restart your Nintendo Switch
Gaming for extended hours can also be one of the reasons why your console is lagging and overheating. To fix this, simply switch off your device for a short while. Follow these steps:
- Press and hold the Power button for a few seconds.
- Select 'Power Options'.
- Select 'Power Off'.
- Press and hold the Power Button again for a few seconds until the Nintendo logo pops up.
