(NSW)tnt175 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) Twice today I had the problem of crashing with my Switch scans revealing data corruption. First was at the launcher and the second time when starting a mission against the Jackal with a squad. I completely redownloaded the software (which took 6 hours) the first time, and now that its happening a second time, I have to wonder: Is it truly a corruption problem or does the Switch misinterpret the updates done by the launcher? EDIT: Upon further tests, I keep having crashes when I'm loading into a mission (solo or public). I guess there is something that is corrupting the data Edited November 26, 2018 by (NSW)tnt175 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(NSW)tnt175 Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 Yet again, I try to open the game this morning and there is corrupted data again which causes crashes at the opening after the launcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(NSW)Shale Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Is your game on SD card and if that card formated in exFAT file system? If so then try to do that: 1. Launch PC 2. Connect your SD card through card reader or something. 3. Copy everything to your PC. 4. Put SD card into your Switch and format it through switch (it should format it in Fat32) 5. Put SD card into your PC and copy everything back to it. The reason is exFAT has a high rate of data corruption everywhere due to not having any journaling (which Fat32 has and a lot of other file systems) The only advantage of exFAT over Fat32 is being able to have files larger than 4GB on the drive. The thing is, there are NO files larger than 4GB on switch, even if game is larger than that. Switch installs games as they are, i.e. unpacked, and there's no resource files that are larger than 4GB, so if you use that SD card exclusively on Switch, there's no reason to use exFAT at all.

(NSW)tnt175 Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 My SD card is under the FAT32 format. I'll still try to format it since it is a SD card I bought recently but I doubt that is the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(NSW)tnt175 Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 Welp, I'll have to wait for fixes since its the 3rd morning in a row where I open Warframe and I get slapped with a data corruption error, this time being at the loading of a mission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(NSW)Shale Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 If it's not exFAT problem then card itself is a problem. What brand it is? I personally would only trust either SanDisk or Samsung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(NSW)tnt175 Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 Emtec, I believe. Anyway, I 'm gonna look for another SD card anyway since its clear that 32GB isnt enough for my Switch so I might look for those brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(NSW)tnt175 Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 Good news, I didnt have a data corruption with my new sd card. I guess the one I bought earlier wasnt good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
