Atmosphere 1.6.2 on 17.0.0 "software was closed because an error occurred"

mighty_schmeat · Nov 8, 2023

I updated to 17.0 through the Nintendo servers a couple of weeks ago now, updated to the latest Atmosphere 1.6.2 and got the latest patches off Sigma, now specifically new games or games with new updates/DLC won't launch, despite working before updating, with the error "The software was closed because an error occurred". Here's a list of games I've tried

Dave the Diver - doesn't work
Mario Wonder - doesn't work
Grandia HD - Works
FFVIII - works
Infernax - doesn't work
Gothic - works
World of Horror - doesn't work
Sonic Superstars - doesn't work
All homebrew games are working

Can anybody please suggest how to fix this as I've been running Atmosphere since 2019 and never had a single issue like this? Thanks

Sounds like you may need a different set of sigpatches, or those specific games may be corrupted. Trying reinstalling one of the smaller titles. If it still doesn't work, try another source for the patches.

If sigpatches won't work, then update hekate. Helped a while ago.

mighty_schmeat · Nov 8, 2023

I'm going to try updating Hekate again. I've redownloaded the newest sigpatches multiple times through Sigma and the spigpatch updated app, and it didn't help. The games are from TITSPro so I'm pretty sure it's not the installs, I've tried reinstalling regardless and it also didn't do anything.

Last time I personally tried sigpatches from sigmapatches, I encountered various errors. Got the ones from here, the issues went away. You can also make your own sigpatches

Unfortunately neither updating Hekate, not using the sigpatches from here worked. I'm pretty stumped at this point honestly

what format is your sd card?

you need to update your Atmosphère, Hekate and sigpatches.

Did you try to downgrade your firmware and apply sigpatches for that version?
I have the same issue, but I didn't manage to try this method yet.

That would be all well and good if the exact issue I have was in the main thread and I hadn't already tried everything suggested in there for similar issues. Also, passive aggressively telling me to do something I've already said I'd done multiple times at this point doesn't achieve anything, does it?

Yeah everything worked again on OFW 16.1.0 then updating again broke it all over again

I had the same issue with many games, after updating to 17.0. I had also updated some homebrew apps to ensure everything was compatible. SaltyNX required an additional step after updating - Deleting the .elf file in SaltySD/plugins fixed the issue for me.

Edit: It seems I can’t link, yet but here is a quote from the SaltyNX github 0.7.0 release:

“REMEMBER TO REMOVE NX-FPS.elf and ReverseNX-RT.elfFROM SaltySD/pluginsFOLDER, otherwise there will be dragons!”

Quote from main github page:

“Since 0.7.0 version NX-FPS and ReverseNX-RT are an intergral part of SaltyNX Core. This allows us to run them in 64-bit games not compatible with plugins.”

If removing the .elf file(s) didn’t work for you, then your issue will be something else. What is your error code and what game is it happening on?
