Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader on Switch 2 is still in a rough state, April's optimization patch 1.5.1.2 promised stability and crash fixes but didn't solve the core problems ⚠️
Players report FPS drops, freezes during autosaves, the UI vanishing mid-fight, flickering shadows, unstable lighting and a soap-like blur (partly reduced by turning off AA).
