So basically, I was gonna play online, but then, when it said “Currently spectating. Get ready!” it froze my Wii U with a quiet buzz sound. Ever since then I’ve been worried because I can’t find out why it happened without getting the worst search results and I’m not checking every corner of my Wii U and vWii over a MK8 crash because that would take way too long.
Does anyone here know the cause and has anyone else experienced this, and if you did, did it affect any data at all on the Wii U or vWii, because i literally can’t find out what caused it.
Is this crashing consistently?
Do you have the RCE_patches plugin for Wii U? I have heard that having the plugin now can cause crashes for some people whenever they find a gathering.
The patch is unnecessary as Nintendo themselves updated the game to fix the exploit.
I don’t remember having that plugin, and I updated the game before playing it by switching to Nintendo Network, clicking on the game’s icon, waiting for the download to finish, and then going back to Pretendo Network, then install the update
Also, it only crashed once, the next time I played online, it did not crash at all
Ahh. Then it was likely just a random occurrence. These things can happen with homebrew.
(Hell, sometimes I get random softlocks exiting games going back to the Wii U Menu)

OK because that scared me so badly and I don’t even know why
Crashes can happen. For any number of reasons. Unless they are consistent, I wouldn’t worry about them.
But this is a useful homebrew to have. A fork of the Wii U Crash Log Dumper that also isolates the latest crash log.
@MayorKittyCat closing this now. I recommend downloading that homebrew I linked above; it is very useful to have period.
