I recently tried installing Splatoon 3, the most recent update, and all the DLC yet it's not working and tells me that I need to download an update to use the train station. I have all the most recent updates for atmosphere & the switch so I am not sure why it won't work. I've tried installing it one part at a time and still doesn't work no matter which order I install the updates. If I install the update before the DLC and try to use the train it doesn't tell me I need to download an update, but instead tells me I need to go to the e-shop to buy the DLC, but as soon as I download the DLC it tells me I need to install an update to use the train, which I can't do as I'm not trying to get my switch banned. Has this been an issue for anyone else and has anyone figured out a workaround to get the DLC to work?

You need updated DLCs too.

What do you mean "updated DLCs"? I literally just obtained all 3 DLC, the newest update, and splatoon 3 files after the new DLC came out so they're the most updated DLC they can be... Still didn't work.

Edit: NVM I think I figured it out

Edit 2: Again NVM... They seem to still be the same files just compressed to the same file rather than being 3 separate compressed files. I did notice a lot of people had issues with accessing the content even when they paid for it. Still hoping someone figured out a way to get around it being buggy.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
