Gaming AM2R 1.4.3 port for Nintendo Switch.

Another on that. Finding it occurs when you slay a cannon. Been trying to finish boss without unfortunately getting that bad shot in... getting close, swearing more and more each time.
Hopefully will be fine if we can get passed that hiccup.

Thanks for the tip, it took a few tries but I managed to kill it without destroying the cannons (deactivate spazer for the shoots to the core and reactivate it to get health back from the missiles it shoots). I didnt find any other crashes and finished the game but I got only 90% of items.

EDIT: I am not sure if the savefiles can be extracted like any other game, but if people need it I can share my savefile (if it doesnt go against some rule), I copied the save to another slot right after killing the boss.

Thanks for the port!

Sharing save files is fine.
There's whole threads aimed at sharing different save files for different systems, so you're fine if you want to post your save here.

found another issue; when you go down the elevator from the GFS Thoth back to SR388 the elevator never 'stops'--it reaches the destination and then you are still stuck in the animation, nothing can be done to get you out of it. anyone have any tips?

Speaking of the new AM2R 1.5.2 port, I'm currently playing through it and have hit a bit of a snag. I'm in the fourth area, The Tower, and am stuck at The Tester boss. Upon entering the room the music cuts out and instead loops one of the boss' sound effects repeatedly. The battle proceeds normally otherwise but it randomly crashes with the following error:


Error Code: 2-KATZE-000

#######################

ERROR in

action number 1

of Other Event: User Defined 1


The seemingly random nature of the crash makes it presently impossible to get past the boss. Everything else works fine, except for a minor sound glitch when somersaulting into/out of lava. I'm currently running OFW 10.2.0 / Atmosphere 0.15.0 if that makes any difference.

Can anyone confirm or deny that these issues are present in the latest build available?

I can confirm it. Ive got the same problem.
@Patatas: would you share your savegame, after the towers boss, please?

if by latest build you mean 1.5.2? yes

the tower boss has a workaround (just don't damage the cannons at all) but the elevator is a lock you can't get around

Yes, here's the file, I took it with Checkpoint, and it was located in 'SD/switch/Checkpoint/saves' folder.

Save 1 was the one where I finished the game, save 2 right before the boss and save 3 right after killing the boss and getting the plasma beam.

I took the file from my switch and uploaded it myself, but since I'm a random person on the internet I suggest you scan it with an antivirus before opening the file and bla bla bla.

Comment if it works for you

saying to many requests on my end. could you possibly reupload it to another site if its not too much to ask?

 

[Patatas]

Here it goes

https://easyupload.io/6rk6rr - This one has a 30 day limit. I don't know any other good webs to store files without an account, so if you have any prefference let me know.

Is it the one from JITS?

 

[Tobynator]

@Patatas Thanks a lot. I will try it tomorrow

@ShadowOne333 Yes, that was my source

Edit: Cant wait for it and trued the save. It worked for me

Tried downloading from both sites, but both are down.
You can actually upload Switch save files here with no issue, so you can attach the saves in a zip and the file will remain here, without having to rely on outside pages.

Aside from that, I went ahead and started a fresh playthrough of AM2R with the new version, and indeed, I bumped into the same issue with the Tower Guardian/Sentry.
If you, by any means, shoot and destroy one of the cannons, the game crashes and closes.

You could probably be able to defeat the boss without taking any of the cannons out, but in Hard or Fusion modes, that is such a painful process, not to mention slow af.

Here's an image of the crash:

You can see the boss in the background and the explosion of the cannon happening as well, behind the error message.

Hope a fix can be achieved for this bug, and the elevator bug from the GFS Thoth back to SR388, in which it never 'stops'--it reaches the destination and then you are still stuck in the animation.
Looking forward to it!

Good stuff, here it is then.

I managed to beat the Tester boss without destroying his cannons but now the game freezes on the energy core escape sequence soon after, as soon as I beat the metal semi-mini boss and move a few rooms further, the game crashes every time

Yes, I too am playing the 1.5.2.NX version from Jits.

Here's hoping for a fix.

I played through that section just fine.
Not sure what your problem could be, I beat the Metal Boss and escaped from there just fine, no crashes at all.
So far the only issues I had are the following:

1. Destroying the Tower's Sentry Boss cannons (any of the 4) causes the game to crash with the following error message:
   
   Spoiler: The Tower's Sentry Boss crash

   
   
   
2. Going to the G.F.S. Thoth section of the game basically guarantees a softlock, and if you save in the GFS, you have pretty much locked your save file from advancing. The elevator that takes you to the GFS locks Samus into place once you return (I haven't checked if it happens when you ride it on the way up, but could happen as well). So basically, riding the GFS elevator softlocks the game, as Samus is locked into place when the elevator arrives, and Samus doesn't respond to any button inputs once the elevator reaches its destination. This happens only in the main elevator that takes you to the GFS site, NOT the ones inside the ship. Here's an image of the softlock once Samus stops responding to button input:
   
   Spoiler: GFS Thoth softlock

   
   
   
3. When you enter into any kind of water, whatever sound effect Samus is playing when entering the water, remains playing as long as you remain in the water.
   For example, if Samus enters the water while doing a somersault, the SFX that plays when Samus does a somersault keeps playing as long as you stay in water. You need to basically exit the water doing a somersault as well so it stops playing properly. The same happens with other SFX, like the Screw Attack SFX, it plays as long as you stay in water until you exit the water doing a Screw Attack as well.

So far, those are all the issues I have encountered.
Only #1 and #2 are really game breaking, #3 can be easily fixed as is only slightly annoying from time to time.
I reached all the way up to the Queen's area, when I decided to backtrack and get softlocked in the GFS lol. I'll see what I can do to continue from there. I assume the rest of the game should go by smoothly.

can confirm on my end as well, played through that section fine with no issue; try reloading a save and doing it again?

I'll try recording a video of the crash later if I can (playing through that section again), I tried it last night three times and it crashed every time.


EDIT: Here's the video. I replayed through that part on handheld mode without the joycons attached, but I played the rest of the game on handheld mode with joycons attached.
Sorry if the quality is a bit potato, I recorded it with my phone.

I posted a save file a few messages earlier, and after going through the explosion sequence on those save files I got no crash. It's not a fix but at least you could use that to finish the game.
