Troubleshooting

Start with the current build

Nintendo now lists Ver. 1.1.0: October 14, 2026 in the Americas support note and October 15 in the UK note. It adds Expansion Pass support and a DLC link on the title screen. Ver. 1.0.1 is the earlier September 16 update. These are official patch statements; Kingy has not installed the update or tested a retail save. Source 53 ↗

Launch-day checklist

1. Confirm the platform. This guide covers the Nintendo Switch 2 release.
2. Check the software version. Open the title's software-update menu and record the version shown.
3. Check free storage. Nintendo's US listing estimates a 27.5 GB download; keep additional working space available. Source 1 ↗
4. Restart after updating. Close the game fully, apply the update and retry the same action.
5. Protect the save. Nintendo's US listing identifies Save Data Cloud support; confirm your own membership and backup settings before relying on it.
6. Capture the evidence. Record region, platform, version, chapter, difficulty, save state, exact error text and whether a second attempt reproduces it.

What this guide does not claim

The official update note does not publish a complete issue list or promise that every reported symptom is fixed. Do not label a behavior as a known bug from one video or one failed attempt. Add a specific workaround only after it has been reproduced and checked against the current build.
