Mario Kart 8 Issues…

Hiya!

Recently, when I try to play Mario Kart 8 online, it causes my system to crash. It will go to the connecting screen and immediately soft lock with that godawful noise. Would anyone else be experiencing this? I am unsure what is causing it.

Any support would be greatly appreciated!

First, are you modded, or using SSSL?

Apologies for lack of context. I am modded with Inkay.

Very odd. This is the 2nd report I know of this happening.

Are your Aroma and Inkay up to date?

EDIT: Looking back on the other report, that crashes in Offline Time Trials (???) which doesn’t make sense to me.

So yeah @ArtU26 is aroma and inkay up to date?

Hey! Thanks for the help. Both my Inkay and Aroma are up to date.

For now, I would recommend getting this homebrew (it’s a fork of the standard Crash Log Dumper; this fork can isolate the latest crash) and running it after you crash again in MK8. Release v0.1-DumpLatest · SuperDude88/WiiUCrashLogDumper · GitHub

Don’t send the crash log here, but have it handy in case this can’t be fixed with other means.

Meanwhile, I would also recommend disabling most Aroma plugins (themes, SDcafiine, FTPiiU, System Font Replacer, screenshot, swipswap, etc.) to see if any of them are somehow causing the crash.

Basically, only leave 3-4 essential plugins (Aroma Base Plugin, Homebrew on Wii U Menu, Inkay, and Region Free)

Does it still crash?

ACTUALLY NO WAY! You are a lifesaver, everything is working once again. I’m assuming all of my plugins were affecting something. I have also installed the crash log application.
Thank You So Much!

You’re very welcome! :smiley:
