BOTW launch always leads to "software closed because an error occurred"

[simsimsim]

Hey guys. I've been playing my BOTW since release but recently lost the cart. I reformatted the switch after I got banned so I can only get the NSP files for the base game, update and DLCs. The base game installs fine and can be launched with no issue. However, after installing the 1.6 update, the game can't be launch as it always pops up the error message " software closed because an error occurred".

I've already tried the following
- getting the files from another source. The basegame always works but as soon as I install the update file I get the same error.
- using different installer: tinfoil, awoo, tinwoo, goldleaf. All produce the same errors
- installing directly from SD and through USB
- remove all saves and mods
- installing the base game, update and DLCs together instead of one by one.
- using DBI to clean all orphaned files.

I'm really confused since when I was using the cart and the update and DLCs from the eshop, everything worked. Anyone know why this might be happening? Thanks!

could be a fake sd

Or maintenance mode helps.

I usually buy my games so I'm not very knowledgeable about this haha, I will look into it! Thanks

OFW is 14 something, updated last month. I've played my purchased copies of BOTW+update 1.6 with all DLCs for years now with no issue.

Sorry, by SD do you mean the microSD card? It works for everything else.

Guess it comes down to this then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How? Here's a quick rundown:

While loading fusee.bin hold both volume buttons and keep holding them until you reach the mode, if you inject fusee directly, hold the buttons from RCM onwards, if you chainload fusee from hekate hold the buttons before and after tapping the boot entry for Atmosphere.
Inside the mode take a look at the first option, it should state your FW and CFW version and if you booted the mode for sysNAND or emuNAND, which is important in case you use an emuNAND, both NANDs don't affect each other.
Nevertheless you do NOTHING and just reboot by holding POWER until the Switch turns off and then turning it on like you normally do.
