Game bootloops when starting a game with UTag on

[ghost]

I noticed that if I play a game (ie. Game & Wario) with UTag on from The Homebrew Launcher. The game bootloops when the game is selected and it's starting. Is it my SD Card that's causing this bootlooping issue?

Are you using any other plugins alongside UTag? Also, have you tried running the game without any plugins at all?

[ghost]

I don't have other plugins, only the UTag one. And if I start the game without UTag on, it doesn't bootloop and it starts the game.

Have you tried running the Wii U Plugin System without any plugins enabled, and then trying to run Game & Wario?

Also, are other games such as Mario Kart 8 affected?

[ghost]

I ran the Wii U Plugin System with UTag off, and Game & Wario didn't bootloop. Also, Splatoon has the bootlooping issue when UTag is on.

Update: Used a different SD Card, has the same bootlooping issue. maybe it's the files?

Can you confirm that you have the 128-character long RiiTag key in utag.txt on the root of your SD card? Also, do you have an active internet connection on the console?

My Internet connection works fine. and I have the 128-character Riitag key on the root of the SD Card.

Update: Tried everything: used the browser exploit, used CBHC. Nothing. Still Bootloops.

Update on the issue The Wii U endpoint for the RiiTag server isn't responding, and the Wii U itself is constantly waiting for a response (which it wasn't receiving).

[ghost]

I see, that explains why it keeps bootlooping. Thanks for the help

Solved client-side with a 5-second timeout in release v1.0.1 so that the client will not bootloop if the server doesn't respond like this again

[ghost]

Ah, thanks for doing that.

The problem was server-side, one of the JSON files to match Wii U IDs was missing.

I see, that explains it.
