However, today the update has been pulled after many players experienced crashes while their matches were loading.<\/p>\n<p>The bug seemed to effect both online and offline play, with the loading matches being interrupted regardless.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Nintendo has begun to take steps to combat the issue. The team initially suspended online matches and cloud saving, before pulling the ver. 1.2.1 update completely. Progress of the team&#8217;s work fixing the problem has been shared via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nintendo_cs\">@nintendo_cs<\/a> (Japan&#8217;s Nintendo customer support) with the latest post telling customers that the update has been removed.<\/p>\n<p>In a follow-up tweet, the customer support shared that players are likely to still receive the &#8216;Software update is required&#8217; prompt when loading up the game, which should be ignored for the time being. Following the message will not reveal any new content.<\/p>\n<p>It is currently unclear as to whether ver. 1.2.1 is going to be fixed and reinstated or whether Nintendo will release a new update altogether to deal with the problems caused by this bug. We will update this article when we have any further information on the fix progress.<\/p>\n<p><em>Have you installed the latest Switch Sports updates?
