Chapter 9 Softlock Fix
🎮 **Fix an annoying game freezing problem! **
🔧 Problem description
This mod specifically fixes a soft lock (game freeze) issue that could occur during certain story battles. The specific location involves **[spoiler alert]** Suzuki's SP battle (located outside the Capitol) **[/spoiler alert]**.
🐛 Root of the problem
This soft lock is usually caused by the player performing some activity (such as a side mission) before triggering this battle, causing the in-game time to change. When the pre-battle cutscene attempted to play, the time change interfered with the scene transition, causing the game to freeze and be unable to continue.
🛡️ Module function
This fix module provides a safety mechanism. If you have done something that may prevent this battle from being completed, this mod will ensure that the game flow can continue normally and prevent you from getting stuck at this point.
✅ Compatibility
**Compatibility: High** 🟢
This mod is compatible with all other mods, so you can use it without worrying about conflicts.

💡 **Usage Recommendations**: If you have done a lot of exploration or completed other activities before this battle scene in Chapter 9, it is highly recommended to install this mod just in case. It ensures your gaming experience is smooth and hassle-free!
Hopefully this fix will help you enjoy a smoother journey through Yakuza Kiwami 3!
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
