If it is fixed by unlinking an NNID account, it is likely that you did not disable cloud saves before blocking Nintendo/creating your emuMMC (if you have one).

If you are looking for what you need SPECIFICALLY FOR GAMES THAT REQUIRE AIRPLANE/FLIGHT MODE, you can use BestPig's plugin as they listed in the previous pages. You will also need SaltyNX to be able to use it.
my switch is banned though so even if I unblocked i cannot access the screen to disable cloud saves.

Issue: Doom (2017) update 1.2

If loading with the internet turned on (airplane mode off) and network is unreachable, You will get error "Notice - Loading Title Storage", and get stuck on that screen.

Patch: _ZN2nn4nifm20SubmitNetworkRequestEv.asm64 (is required to bypass that Notice screen)

You will also require these (which are already posted in the thread):
_ZN2nn4nifm31HandleNetworkRequestErrorResultEv.asm64 (bypass flight mode popup)
_ZN2nn4nifm18IsNetworkAvailableEv.asm64 (prevent crash if internt is on)

Patch file does the following:
movz x0, #0
ret

Hey all, I'm on Horizon 16.1.0, Atmosphere 1.6.2, trying to disable the check on Portal 2 but none of the plugins and patches will work. I've tried
  • Just the NX-NONET.elf plugin
  • Just the _ZN2nn4nifm18IsNetworkAvailableEv.asm64 patch
  • The plugin + all 3 asm64 patches
Any idea what might be going wrong? The game starts normally without WiFi, but crashes if WiFi is connected. It's as if SaltyNX and the plugins/patches weren't there at all.

Also interestingly, it crashes right away the first time I load it after boot, but then takes longer to crash the next times (and then stops crashing if I disable WiFi). That first crash seems to be something else than the network check.

Hi, I think Tomb Raider Remastered tries to connect and crashes when it can't ?
I've tried to start the game in airplane mode and it asks to disable it for seemingly no reason, makes me think it wants to make an internet check

Nope, it crashes because of SaltyNX. Update SaltyNX to newest version that just released.

    Sure is... and poor devs get hit with the charge backs

    Exactly.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Thor from "Pirate Software" said its just better to pirate the game than buy from a keyshop if you care about the devs

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    devs don't get hit with the chargebacks, the keys are free to generate
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    at least on steam
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Except he said the DEVS get hits with the chargeback cost

  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    since the key gets bought with a stolen credit card
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    there's nothing to charge back because the keys don't cost them money to generate in the first place
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If the game has a crack sure
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Most these crack sites have dead links anymore or the crack don't even work
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    @The Real Jdbye What don't you get? If someone use a stolen creditcard. Then sell said key on G2A. If I the dev sold the game key, I will get the charge back cost. That's how it works, it doesn't matter if I generate 300 keys if 300 of them are bought with stolen credit cards. I never said it was on Steam, but its the dev that gets hit. There is a ton of stories out there if you google it.
