Environment
- d3hack version: v3.1_2026-02-09
- Atmosphere: 1.11.1 (std)
- Firmware: 22.1.0
- Hardware: Erista
- sys-patch: 1.6.x installed
- Game version: 2.7.6.90885 (correct version)
Problem
Game fails to launch with "could not start the software,
please try again from the home menu" error when d3hack
files are present on SD card.
Without d3hack (subsdk9 + main.npdm removed), Diablo III
launches perfectly fine. Reinstalling d3hack reproduces
the error immediately.
What I checked
- subsdk9 and main.npdm are present in the correct path:
atmosphere/contents/01001B300B9BE000/exefs/
- sys-patch is installed and running
- No crash report is generated in atmosphere/crash_reports/
— the process appears to be rejected at the loader level
before a process is even created
- DNS mitm and other sysmodules are working normally
Notes
d3hack v3.1 was released February 2026, before Atmosphere
1.11.x (released April 2026). This may be an exlaunch
compatibility issue with the newer Atmosphere loader.
