Hacking [Help Needed] Mario Kart 8 crashes on launch when installed with Wup Installer.

[Mendolino]

Hi everyone, this is my first forum post and probably not the last.. Yay!
Anyways.. lets cut to straight to the point.

I have downloaded and installed Mario Kart 8 (+update and dlc) through Wii U Usb Helper and WUP installer respectively. I have done that for multiple other games but i couldnt get mk8 to work. The game crashes on the bootup screen with the car noises and the last noise i can hear is a louder than usual car horn? (its a really weird sound tbh)

What i tried
- Reinstalling to a diffrent media (Usb.. Nand)
- Redownloading the actual game.

So.. uh.. Fix my problem? Thanks anyways.

Quick Edit: Forgot to mention that i tried it in Cemu and it worked perfectly.

Uninstall the game and redownload it using Copy to SD feature in Wii U USB Helper.

Install failed.
Mario Kart 8
Verify WUP files are correct & complete. DLC/E-shop require Sig Patch.
Also, yep. I do have a Sig Patch.

Nvm, seems to work after a reinstall.

Edit: Nope. Still same crash as i mentioned in op.
Sort of a further edit: Fixed by downloading the game from another region

This issue can occur on even vanilla Wii U's. It can be solved by using either SaveMii Mod or Data Management to remove your save data. Sometimes, this won't work. I do not know if this will work for you since it was uninstalled and still did not work.

How can this problem be solved? I suffer from it too

I managed to get it working by removing the modded SD card (aroma cfw), removed external HDD, removing pretendo network (if you have it installed), doing a factory reset, then logging in with my nintendo account and launching the eshop gave me the option to redownload mk8 (my WiiU came preinstalled with mk8) and installed it to the internal memory.
