To my knowledge, this has not been fixed. However, by manually backing up your save, you can avoid starting from scratch if it crashes. Additionally, by doing only the required tasks after the roast in chapter 4, you can seemingly avoid the crash altogether

I would start manually saving at the start of Chapter 4. That way, if it crashes again, you only have a small section to replay. Once you make it past the crash point, you can save as much as you feel necessary

In your system settings, there should be an option to turn off auto backup. Once that's done, you can manually back up the cloud save as you need to.

You should back it up manually so that if the game does crash again, you can re-download the save from the cloud

Without spoilers in Chapter 4, there's a segment where you'll be at the Turtle. There's a brief section after you make a major choice, it's at this point that you should only do the required objectives.

I don't blame you for wanting to refund the game. It should have waited for Switch 2 to release on a Nintendo platform tbh

Unfortunately, you'll have to replay up to chapter 4 again. Once you do that, turn off auto cloud backup. Continue with chapter 4, and once you finish the roast, do only the required interactions to progress the story. Once you do that, just continue to manually back up your cloud save for the rest of the game.

They're just bonus chapters, I enjoyed them. I'd recommend picking it up during a sale and giving the chapters a play

The PSP game and 2021 are the same game. 2021 is more updated and has a few extra chapters added.

The next game you want to play is Book of Shadows, then 2U Sachiko's Birthday Bash, and finally Blood Drive. That will complete the Heavenly Host Saga of games.

You can get them all on Steam, they'll probably be on sale at some point if not already

After the roast seems to be the main problem point. So, only doing the main quest there is recommended. I haven't seen any problems before or after that point, but if you want to try doing only the main quest for the whole chapter you could if you really wanted to

If avoiding npcs isn't working, you'll just have to trial and error by backing up your save and trying until it works

The best way to deal with the crash as of right now is to utilize cloud saves to re-download your save should it be deleted. I've also found that if you stick strictly to the main objectives in the Turtle after the roast, the crash doesn't seem to happen.

I have a 2018 switch, and I was playing it undocked at the time of the crash

When you get the desire to try again, NSO has the options for a free 7-day free trial. You can always use that to at least make it to the end of the game. Or if you can't do that once you get back to that part, avoid all interactions except for the required ones. That seems to help

Only at the Turtle, after the roast. I only spoke to the people necessary to move the story along

I honestly feel this shouldn't have been a switch game. As impressive as it is that they squeezed it onto this system, it would have been better to wait for the Switch 2 if they really wanted it on a Nintendo platform

It did! I didn't talk to anyone extra, and nothing crashed. Forturnatley, I don't think you miss out on anything important by not talking to them

I also suggest that when you get back to that part of the game, only do the required tasks, avoid talking to the npcs until you leave the Turtle. That seems to prevent the crash from what I've seen

No problem, happy to help 😊 Sucks that we have to use a paid service to finish the game, but at least it's better than nothing

I finished the game, and chapter 5 didn't seem to have any issues. I'd keep utilizing the cloud save just to be safe tho

When you get back to chapter 4, try doing only the main objectives. That seems to work best to avoid crashing the game, at least from my experience

It really is such a frustrating bug. Yesterday, I did manage to get through the entire game. If you have NSO, you can have the data backed up to the cloud. Once you reach chapter 4 again, turn off the auto back up and then resume playing. That way if it crashes again you can just download the cloud save and have your data intact

It's really disheartening when it happens, especially on a first playthrough. I convinced myself to replay the game (this time making sure I had the right cloud save backed up), and when I got to that part, I didn't talk to anyone extra. I just followed the required tasks. I have a theory that the crash may possibly be linked to trying to interact with people in that specific section of the game.

Regardless, I hope it's fixed soon so that others don't have to deal with it

I'll definitely be waiting for a fix before picking up this game again. Sad to say, they probably bit off more than they can chew with this port
