Description
For some games such as
- Ryu ga Gotoku OF THE END
- Ryu ga Gotoku 3
- Ryu ga Gotoku 4
- Ryu ga Gotoku 5
If the game updates are installed after the game data is installed to HDD, the games will work fine.
If the game updates are installed before the game data is installed to the HDD, the games won't work.
Something to note is that these games do not trigger an update popup on PS3 before booting, likely because of the "popup: false" property they have on their update tag on the PS3 Update API data.
As investigated on Discord, on a physical console, the software update popup happened only after the game data was installed to HDD, after the save data creation dialogue. I wonder if there's some check on the PS3 OS that triggers this after a save dialogue, or if it's something that the game itself calls for.
Update installed before HDD data installed:
