Make sure the Nintendo Switch is not connected to the internet (e.g. set it to airplane mode).<br \/>2. Start &#8220;Splatoon 3&#8221; in this state, decide the appearance of the player, and proceed to Bankara<br \/>3. Connect your device to the internet in Bankara Street<br \/>4. Enter the lobby to transfer save data and select festival regions<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p>While it is a shame that we are as of yet without a permanent fix to these problems, it is promising to know that help is on the way with an update that <em>should<\/em> go some way to improving the overall experience of the game.<\/p>\n<div id=\"poll-where-have-you-found-splatoon-3-connectivity-issues\" class=\"poll\" data-uri=\"polls\/where_have_you_found_splatoon_3_connectivity_issues\">\n<div class=\"results hidden\">\n<h3 data-toc=\"Where have you found Splatoon 3 connectivity issues?\">Where have you found Splatoon 3 connectivity issues?
