Witcher 3 crashes on startup 11.60
I’m trying to get The Witcher 3 Complete Edition backup working on PS5 pro running 11.60, but it crashes as soon as I launch it. I also tried it on a Slim running 12.20 and got the same result.
It’s the only game I haven’t been able to get working so far. I’ve tried both exFAT and folder format, but no luck.
Has anyone managed to get it running on 11.60 or higher? Thanks a lot in advance
*EDIT - all ps5 game backups are on external SSD homebrew folder, using kstuff lite and shadowmountplus
*FINAL EDIT- Update: I managed to get it working.
The issue wasn't my firmware, kstuff lite, or ShadowMount Plus. I tried a different copy of the same game that didn't include a fakelib folder, then copied the fakelib folder from another copy of the same game (includes the 3 files). After that, the game launched normally.
So if anyone else is stuck with the instant startup crash, it may be worth checking whether the fakelib is the problem rather than assuming it's a firmware or ShadowMount issue. At least in my case, replacing only the fakelib fixed it.
Hopefully this helps someone else who's running into the same issue.
