PS5 freezing / shutting down with Libhijacker enabled

[mmcgr97]

Does anyone know how to fix Libhijacker randomly freezing and shutting down my PS5 when launching / playing games?

I've tried jailbreaking my launch model PS5 on both 4.51 and 4.50 firmware with both idlesauce and zecoxao and etahen and with libhijacker enabled (config.ini set to Libhijacker_cheats=1") my PS5 regularly either freezes or shuts down when games are starting up or they've been open for a few minutes. Seems to happen on both games that can be FPS boosted with libhijacker and games that don't work with it.

Any solution would be greatly appreciated

Don't enable cheats or the Libhijacker though etaHEN or by the config.ini from Itemzflow.

So then how do I enable it?

So then how am I supposed to enable 60fps patches?

There's an updated payload on Idlesauce's webhost. First pick k-stuff, then Libhijacker and it will automatically apply the patches when you launch the game.

In other words, don't even use etaHEN if you want to enable 60fps patches.

Tried it and RDR2 is still crashing (although not as much) as with ETAhen

I'm currently playing Batman: Arkham Knight with just k-stuff and Libhijacker payload and everything runs fine. Have you tried other games, or is this only happening with RDR2?

Just RDR2 seems to have the problem now, where as I couldn't play more than 5 minutes of Far Cry 3 or Slender Man with ETAHEN 1.8b. Still crashes with libhijacker and kstuff although far less often.

Do you know why ETAHEN is causing games to crash?

[mmcgr97]

Really annoying bug I've found with Kstuff + Libhijacker. Libhijacker randomly stops working after switching to a new game. Sometimes I can switch between several games before it stops working and other times it stops working after just 1 game. Button combinations (Square + Triangle, Square + Circle) stop working too.

Any idea why this is happening? Doesn't happen with ETAHEN.

[mmcgr97]

Tried Arkham Knight with Kstuff and Libhijacker and it freezes at the opening level. Even without libhijacker and the game running in 30fps it freezes. PS5 doesn't turn off though

Do you know why ETAHEN is causing games to crash?

Yeah, but it's hard to explain. In short though it has come conflicting issues with the Debug. Which was why before, if you mess with the values in the config.ini from Itemzflow, your system will crash the next time you click on etaHEN and it does it debug.

Are you talking about after the diner scene where Batman makes his appearance on top of that skyscraper? Yeah, I had the exact same issue at that exact spot. It pretty much means you have a bad dump of the game or update. Here, try the one I'm using, CUSA00133 (v1.15) by FantasmaXDS. It'll works flawlessly at 60fps. Make sure you get both the game and update.

That's the one I used and it still froze. I'll download it again just to make sure

Some of the lit up signs were also flickering during that upwards panning shot where Batman first appears, which doesn't happen on my retail PS5.

Very weird.

Do you know if ETAHEN 1.8b is using the latest version of libhijacker?

That is weird, because I've even tested that exact spot five time in a row when Batman showed up and it no longer froze. There were some light flickering, though.

Anyways, I recommend you trying again. With just k-stuff + Libhijacker. Don't use the feature from Itemzflow, because that will freeze your PS5 for sure. Also, don't use the button combo for fliprate, just launch the game normally and the patch will auto apply.

Nope, that you'll have to ask LightningMods.

Kstuff + Libhijacker is what I tried it with. I even tried it with only kstuff at 30fps and it still crashed

That means that you tried the game at neutral, and it still crashed. Which means that you have a bad, corrupted copy. Anyways, I've tested it 6 times in a row now and it works just fine(check video). https://youtu.be/PMbdT72bKDc

[mmcgr97]

I've tried several different version of Arkham Knight from DLPS and all of them freeze on PS5 with or without Libhijacker but all work perfectly on my jailbroken PS4 Pro.

[jackfavvv]

I'll lend you my copy, if you want. It has all the DLC merged together, so it can be played on the PS5 as well.

[mmcgr97]

Is it the same as this one?

[jackfavvv]

....no. That one isn't mine. My version is CUSA00133 and it's just 1 pkg file with everything in it. The one from your link has 2 pkg files.

[mmcgr97]

OK please send me the link and I'll try it out

[jackfavvv]

LOL, it's like a 50gib pkg file. And I haven't even uploaded it yet.

[mmcgr97]

OK. I'll wait for the upload. Thanks

[jackfavvv]

Forgot to ask, but what firmware is your PS5 on? And are you playing the game internally or externally with a portable drive?

[mmcgr97]

4.51 and tested on both internal and m2 drive

[jackfavvv]

I'm on 4.50, so I'm not sure if our experience are going to be the exact same. Anyways, for now try this, in idlesauce's webhost, scroll all way down and use, PS5_Browser_appCache_remove to clear your cache. Then reopen the page and to auto cache everything again. This should free up some memory.

[mmcgr97]

Tried that. No difference

[jackfavvv]

Do you still have the PS5 on FW 4.50?

[mmcgr97]

No it's on 4.51. Don't think there's a difference

[jackfavvv]

Well, if my PKG doesn't work for you, then THAT will be the difference.

Could you geniuses perhaps NOT arrange piracy on Illusion's github repositories by any chance? Thanks

Does owning a legit copy on my PSN account make it ok?
