Game crash

Has anyone else run into issues with the game crashing? I just started playing today and was probably about 30 minutes in, but I'd just spent the day planting a ton of cabbages. And as soon as I went to save my game, it crashed (and did not save any of my progress). I'd like to keep playing but there doesn't seem to be a point if I can randomly lose progress like this.

A few people have reported crashes, but it doesn't seem to be all that common, and Natsume will definitely fix it. I hate to hear that you had such horrible luck right from the jump, but I would be surprised if it happened again. What version are you playing? Is your firmware up to date?

The software version is 1.0.0 (have there already been any updates?), and my firmware version is 5.1.0, which is the latest. I just wish I knew what caused it so I could make sure to avoid it. When I played Tale of Two Towns there was a crash related to the animal petting minigame, so I just avoided playing it whenever possible.

I'm having the same issue tonight. I had it crash several times while trying to save at the end of the day. Can't seem to continue. The last thing I did was fix Sam's shop.

I've had it twice so far. :/ Once before the latest console update (I think), and it may have been due to having it in sleep mode without exiting the game. It crashed when I was going into the house at night.

Most recent one was actually after I finished the story and saw all the cutscenes, and I was trying to save after. -_- That one was just like 2 or 3 days ago.

I've had it happen twice in the past 40 hours. Both times was after having it in standby mode while the game was running. When I went to transition to the next screen it crashed.

Since it has only happened to me 2 times it could be just coincidence, but I feel like standby mode while the game is running might have something to do with it.

Yeah, I remember Xenoblade 2 also had problems with that, so after that first crash I've been closing out the game every time before I put it in sleep mode.

I've ran the game pretty much continuously since getting it, without a single problem. I do wonder though if reloading a save would prevent the crashes, since I do this quite a lot to test various things for the guide.

I’ve had a few crashes but never lost much progress so wasn’t that bad
