Gaming Hardware random freezes while starting and playing games

[deisanbm1423]

It happens to me regularly, after updating to 4ifir 2.3 and firmware 18.1.0; For example, sometimes I open a game, the Nintendo logo passes, the game logo loads and it freezes, and other times I simply have been playing for a long time and for example when changing the scene, track, or place it freezes.

The only way to make the console respond is to turn it off completely and hold the power button for 10 seconds, it doesn't even show me crash, it just freezes.


soc temp usually arround 37-45 C
gpu 600-900
cpu 1000
mem 1300
handled mode

Patch issues?

Patch issues?

Probably; the only error I found when updating everything was a frozen crash (it could only be turned off by holding the power button for 10 seconds)I solved it by updating mission control, should i reinstall firmware 18.1.0? I really don't know what to do, cause there is no crash screen, what could I try?

4ifir is for overclocking so your memory or CPU might not be able to keep up with the settings you're trying to use.
Just lower them somewhat or set them to default setting to see if the problems go away.

Hekate has some diagnostic features for the internal memory and some other things.
But my guess is that your Switch just can keep up and locks itself up in some sort of panic mode.

do not user prepacked packages, and install sys-patch sysmodule

In fact, this problem occurs with games in which I do not use overclock, splaton 3, pokemon diamond.
What else could be the problem?

I already have the sys patch, should I reinstall it?

be sure you have the latest version from download section on GBATemp, the prepacked packages trend to use older versions.

managed to fixed it downloading syspatch 1.5.2, read down, very important:
I don't know if this has been discussed elsewhere, or if it is obvious or redundant, but here is my solution "you dont have to reinstall atmosphere or games): I also had about half of my games corrupted with damaged data (version 1.5.1 was the one that caused problems, and does not work using sigpatches)
So here is the solution for those who have this problem, I saw that there are also people who every time they start atmosphere, or every few times, some games get corrupted, like what happened to me after updating to 18.1.0:

Now if you have a corrupt game, you must update the system patch and then open the corrupt game, and give the option to search for damaged data "if the game is heavy, it will take a while" after you finish searching for damaged data you will get a message, whether the data is good or bad, you close the window and it will let you open it again, and it should be solved, there is no need to reinstall atmosphere or games.

only works for corrupted games, freezes still there

yes that has been told so many times: UPDATE YOUR SIGPATCHES AND SYS-PATCH, but people are unable to read the OP there is a section about how to resolve that problem, PEOPLE DO NOT READ

hahahaha you are right; I just hope that whoever searches for this problem ever comes to this thread, not everyone searches for "github correct atmosphere update" and deigns to read the entire .readme

problem solved?

 

[Kikoo350]

I am also having a similar issue. But every time I start tinfoil, it immediately freezes. I have tried updating the syspatch and signpatches but it still doesn't work.

 

[impeeza]

I am sorry, but this is a RTFM moment!

yes is solved reading the OP.

 

[deisanbm1423]

I thought the problem was solved but today it comes back, I must say that it is becoming more frequent. :C

I'm having random freezing in games too with 8.1, no 4ifir

firmware 18.1? so maybe the problem its about the firmware?

The freezes happen only when starting games regardless of what they are, and also when you change scenes in a game, for example when changing tracks, entering a new scenario or sometimes it seems that when you save the game, but I'm not sure, also, sometimes you lets you return to the home menu of the switch, and others don't, forcing you hard off


my last crash report

 

[Moquedami]

I had a few freezing in Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom and in Battlecats. Not in a particular moment. The game just freezes and I have to shutdown pressing the power button a couple of seconds. I did not check my crash report directory yet

I encountered the same thing, my games also freezes like pokemon diamond, naruto storm, etc. so I needed to restart my switch everytime. Good news is that I already fixed mine by removing my sd card from the switch and open it with my laptop to "Scan and Repair". After that reinsert it back to my switch and retest it by playing for a while and freezing is gone. Hope it helps!

 

[Moquedami]

I've just tried scanning and repairing the sd card. Didn't find any error though.
I hope this fixes the random freezing
