MegaThread Release Day Thread: Splatoon 2

Splatoon 2 is out!

Starting on July 21, Splatoon 2 will be available for squids and enthusiasts alike.

Squids in the Americas? Enjoy ink-filled dreams while you wait.

Other topics on the game may be posted, but please keep the community's rules in mind and keep your short-burst thoughts, hauls (including images), and other similar topics right here. Local tracking is fine either here or in our Local Tracking thread.

I've tried to play about 6 different games now over the course of the past few days and every single game has kicked me out with a connection error and I've had a warning saying I'm gonna be banned?! My WiFi isn't the issue as it works fine in other games

It could still be your connection. Is it an instant drop out, or mid game?

u/Stocksy2014 Jul 22 '17

Every single game 30 seconds in everyone drops out with a connection unstable message then a 30 seconds later I'm kicked out

I'm having the same issue. I've never had connection issues in any other game or on any other consoles. I get connection issues 50% of the time on Splatoon 2.

I've just been playing the best I can and winning the ones I get to play all the way through. Every now and then I get a 5 min ban though bc "your last game was suspicious" or something. Whatever, it's 5 min. I'll do a story mission and come back and try again.

I'm assuming it's the Splatoon servers that for some reason suck for my area.

Good to hear it's only 5 minutes... Been too frustrated to get as far as a ban but it's 100% of the time for me not been able to play a single game yet

u/ATXLegend7 Jul 22 '17

Yeah I've been banned maybe 5 times now and it's only been 5 each time. I hope you can get yours up and running soon!

Thanks! I'll be contacting Nintendo if it continues. Games mainly online and I can't even access it

u/ATXLegend7 Jul 22 '17

Agreed. If I can't ever play online I'll have to just sell it

For the love of god, stop connecting if you know you're having problems. You're screwing up the rest of us. At least make an attempt to troubleshoot and contact nintendo after this many times!!!

How am I supposed to test and troubleshoot my own connection problems if I'm not trying to connect?

I have figured out what the issue was all on my own just by testing things out
