Instant Launch Cinematic Failed for Switch Players

Summary

When a game is configured for “instant game launch,” meaning it starts immediately without any delay as soon as a player joins an island, and a cinematic is set to trigger automatically at the start of the launch, Switch players encounter an issue. They cannot see the cinematic: only the sound and black fades are visible. However, the camera shots do not appear, preventing a complete visual experience.
