PS4 System Update 8.50 & Ginga Force Chrash Issues
After updating the console, I've noticed that Ginga Force became practically unplayable since the game crashes after selecting a mission on either Story or Score Attack Mode. While other shmups like Natsuki Chronicles, Darius Cozmic Collection and Sisters Royale seem to be unaffected, it'll be good to report if there's any other shmups suffering problems after the PS4 8.50 update.
UPDATE: Topic renamed since the problem seems to only affect Ginga Force.

Have you tried deleting the game and reinstalling it?

That was the first thing I've tried but no result. That's what makes me think it's an issue with the system's update.aphexacid wrote:Have you tried deleting the game and reinstalling it?

Re: PS4 System Update 8.50 & Possible Shmup Issues
Same here.
If someone with a twitter account could contact somebody to help resolve this issue or gain some info that'd be great.
Edit: Now that I can finally post (thanks mods!) I can elaborate.
So far I've contacted SONY & Rising Star Games (the publisher), but got no response from the both of them. This error message/crash also pops up when you try to watch a replay. What's more, the solution for this type of error according to Sony is to upgrade the system firmware or update the game. Seeing as we just got a new update for the PS4 (8.50, yikes) I wouldn't count on them pushing a fix for just one game anytime soon.
Let's hope Qute can pull something off and give us an updated game.
Natsuki Chronicles works fine. Some other games I've tested that work just as well: Ghost of Tsushima, Yakuza 7, Sakuna, Nioh 2 (I don't have that many shooting games on the PS4).

Re: PS4 System Update 8.50 & Possible Shmup Issues
could be the hard drive failing too either way doubt it's the update
Re: PS4 System Update 8.50 & Possible Shmup Issues
If it's happening to multiple people concurrently I doubt it's a hardware fault.

<S.Yagawa> I like the challenge of "doing the impossible" with older hardware, and pushing it as far as it can go.

It looks like a new update came out for Ginga Force, but I'm not sure if it came before or after the system update. I'm not sure if it fixes the issue.

Sony is really on quite a roll lately, ain't they?
Re: PS4 System Update 8.50 & Possible Shmup Issues
Boy is this thread title click bait. Basically Qute need to update Ginga Force because it's buggy after the new firmware update? This shit happens pal.

You mean the 1.01 update from a few weeks ago?, that one fixes the French language according to the PS4 Update History.BrianC wrote:It looks like a new update came out for Ginga Force, but I'm not sure if it came before or after the system update. I'm not sure if it fixes the issue.

Good news. The publisher of GINGA FORCE sent me a reply. It reads as follows: "Hi and thanks for reaching out! We're on it and investigating the issue."
Re: PS4 System Update 8.50 & Possible Shmup Issues
ahh. I thought that might be the case, but I had multiple things downloading at the time I turned it on, before I was able to check it. I also had the crash issue since then.Sturmvogel Prime wrote:You mean the 1.01 update from a few weeks ago?, that one fixes the French language according to the PS4 Update History.BrianC wrote:It looks like a new update came out for Ginga Force, but I'm not sure if it came before or after the system update.

A new update is live (at least in Europe), version 1.2 - it fixes the crash!
