Sky Force 2014 crashes upon save file creation

[zyphermann]

Current Behavior

The game launches and runs fine. When the huge plane appears there is no way out and the player dies. You can see some dialog boxes that help is on the way, the save file is generated, the game loading indicator appears and at 89% of reload and crashes.

From that point on the game always crashes when loading reaches 89%.

If you remove the save state folder for that game ( /userdata/saves/wiiu/usr/save/00050000/10202800 ) the game launches again.

Expected Behavior

The game should launch to the main menu screen after a save file exists. The intro is only shown when the game runs for the first time and has no save state yet.

Steps to Reproduce

remove save state folder save/00050000/10202800
launch game and play until the first boss where player always dies.
Cutscene then game crashes
From that point on game does not launch anymore.
remove savestate folder, and game launches again
