Game Crashing When Entering Volcano

I'm having this exact problem, except I'm playing on PS4. Playing as Walani, generated volcano during Monsoon (entered and left), tried to reenter via Armored Boat w/Iron Wind - carrying two thermal stones, 1 bioluminescence, and the fishbone/Packim Baggins if any of that makes a difference - on day 1 of Dry. I'm pretty sure I was on day 263 overall, but my save file now shows Volcano 1-252 and crashes at the black loading screen. On PS4, it's the dreaded CE-34878-0 error.

I've confirmed my other two saves (DS vanilla, Adventure 3-14 and Adventure 3-1) both load fine, so it doesn't appear to be a problem with the base game. But I deleted the game and re-downloaded/reinstalled it anyway to see if it would help. No dice. And it doesn't look like the PS4 has any way to uninstall an add-on separately. :\

I don't know if this is the same bug that was causing PS4 volcano crashes in 2016-2018 or a new one, but I'm going to be heartbroken if I lose my only (and almost complete!) SW save Please help!

Hi there, I am also having this problem and am quite sad to see it's been unresolved so long. :( RIP, save file. And condolences to y'all as well. I'll try to give as much background info as I can recall without having access to the file... If there's any other data that could be helpful, I'm happy to provide. 

 

Platform: Switch. System software up to date as of this post -- v 10.2.0

Playing as Walani. The game crashed ("Software closed because of an error") as I attempted to enter the volcano. I have tried several times to re-open the save file, but the game crashes each time after a few seconds of the "Loading..." screen. My save file says Volcano 1-55, but like truemiang, I'm wondering if the date rolled back -- the dry season had begun. Sepia toned world, monsoon floods were drying up and I started to overheat on my way to the volcano. I had not gotten any eruption warnings yet. 

I had entered the volcano previously in monsoon season and prepared my dry season station by the altar (endo pit, ice box, ice maker, empty bird cage, chest with some weapons & fuel. I think I left some jerky and coconuts in the icebox). I tried to re-enter a few days later with an armored boat and iron wind. Pretty sure I had the straw hat, backpack, and umbrella equipped, probably with some wetness from running into waves. No other status effects/buffs.

I'll try to remember what was in my inventory... definitely a thermal stone, a toucan, a black feather, a morsel, a few ice cubes, cut grass, logs, nitre, stone, flint, and a couple of Cutlass Supremes. I probably had my horned helmet, some yellow mosquito sacs and a few manure. Maaaybe a boat repair kit, dead rainbow jellyfish, a couple small and regular jerkies (is that a word?), and/or a few nearly rotted monster meats -- don't remember if these were used / left behind. 

 

I sure hope there's a fix to this eventually! This game is brutalizing enough without bugs wiping out files that were going well, ha. Thanks devs -- I appreciate your time! 

[continuation of last comment -- sorry, I don't know how to edit a pending comment!] I should mention that I'm using the default world gen settings. Nothing unusual about my world/seasons/etc.
