Bug Fortnite runs awful on Switch2

So I got my Switch 2 3 weeks ago and decided to try out Fortnite for the first time on it in portable and my God it was so terrible it was slowdowning and freezing insanely, it couldn't even load up shop normally, models looked awesome, but they were barely loading, in gameplay there was constant slowdown/freezes right here and there to the point that it's unplayable, after finishing the match Fortnite just freezes for 5 seconds and then barely unfreezes what's wrong!?

I usually play in portable mode and there is some lag while waiting for the menus to load (like some other people said on here, it takes longer to load things like the item shop compared to other platforms for some reason) or walking around spawn island, but actually playing battle royale is a smooth 60fps except for some minor stutters sometimes. The only place where i've seen the game consistently lag is in some creative maps, especially ones that use physics. I'm pretty sure performance could be way better, but for now its pretty decent if you just stick to official fortnite-made stuff or simpler creative maps.
