Keep getting "Checking whether this software can be played..." 6 of 8 games...

[Fr3dd4n]

Hello everyone!
I got a V1 switch the other day. I started to mod it directly and it worked fine. I´m running on FW 19.0.1, Atmosphere 1.8.0 and Hekate 6.2.2 plus updated sigpatches and syspatches.

Now i have installed 8 games with Awoo installer over FTP from PC. 2 of the games launches perfectly, the rest doesn´t launch. It keep saying "checking whether this software can be played...
I´m so sad because i want to play all of my games. Can it be that the gamefile is "bad" or "corrupted"? I installed the game and update simultaneously.
Also my switch is my "primary console"

What do you guys think? Please help me.

I am in the same boat. All working on fw 18 the updated to 19.0.1 and cannot install backup on awoo - crash.
All, all games requires to check online stuck there. if i use airplane mode, it tells me to turn of.
I don't mind a ban since i only play local but cannot install or launch any games no more

so far it's only happened to yakuza kiwami, i haven't updated to version 19.0.1 but i wasn't able to find a reason why it was doing it for that game, it just simply wouldn't launch

Not sure the reason, but never be so quick to update to the latest firmware. The assumption is that's the best firmware and plays all the games, but in reality a firmware below usually plays all the games and don't have these issues. But it could be another reason than the firmware I am not sure I am still on 18.1, just saying for the future don't update until there's a game you know needs a newer firmware than what you have.

Here's some info that might help, it could be that you have an account linked to Nintendo servers and it's trying to connect each time. https://www.reddit.com/r/SwitchPira...ow_to_fix_checking_if_software_can_be_played/

You also need to change your DNS on your internet connection to block Nintendo servers. Here is more info https://switch.hacks.guide/extras/blocking_nintendo/

Even after doing these things, you might need to try to reinstall the game.
