  • You need to make sure that the Switch is not connected to the Internet.
  • Alternatively, you can also set it to Airplane mode. You can find the Airplane mode under the System settings in the Home Menu.
  • Launch the Splatoon 3 in the offline mode and choose your character’s appearance.
  • Then, head over to Splatsville or Bangkara Street (in Japanese).
  • As you reach Splatsville, connect your Switch device to the Internet.
  • Now, you can enter the Lobby to transfer the Save Data and choose the suitable Splatfest regions.

In addition to this problem, the Nintendo team also stated that they want to release the counter-measures for disconnection issues during Salmon Run. Hopefully, Nintendo acknowledged these issues and will resolve these issues in the future update patch.
