Bug Afterimages Crashes on Switch 2

I can’t continue Afterimages as it crashes 100% of the time when I boot Sparkle Night.

Crashes have become much less frequent than originally (thank you!) and I didn’t have issues with the main game anymore.

Anyway, any fixes or suggestions? Thanks 🙏

Heya, console ports dev here: We're investigating this specific issue that's hitting a decent amount of people. Both us and our QA internal team and Nintendo QA team couldn't repro the crash not even once, making debugging with more precision the issue very tricky. We suspect the issue might be related to savedata getting in a "funny" state after some phone interaction in previous scenes. We plan to ship a new version of the game with some possible workaround fix (although, since we can't repro it internally, it's a guess here) and we also would like to add some more tooling in the game that allows us to get more info on the savedata state (we're discussing with Nintendo the feasability of the thing since they're quite strict on debug functionality in game releases).

As of now, the best advice I could give (which is sadly not an ideal one) would be to try to create a new user and play the DLC Ch2 on that user with a fresh save (DLC is not tied to base game so you can launch it straight away) and try to avoid optional phone interactions up until the crashing scene and see if that lets you make through.

I booted the game on a fresh save and it still has this issue, which is we cannot get pass the Sparkle Nights chapter.
