Probably the update/dlc data on your Switch that was corrupted. Do you use a microSD card?
Yes I use one and if turned the switch off, taken the card out, put it back in and turned it on again
The microSD card or the game cart?
Could you tell me what I could do?
But... you haven't answered my question
Yes, I can tell you what to do, but I need information first
Otherwise, I don't even know where to start
I told u I used micro sd card tho
It's this question, dude: #1005561736000192644 message
I'm sorry but it's very hard to even understand your sentence here:
"Yes I use one and if turned the switch off, taken the card out, put it back in and turned it on again"
What card? and did it fix anything?
Oooooh
Ok so basically I did what the switch told me to do
Which was turn the switch off take it out, put it back in and turn the switch on
Nothing happened 💀
The microsd card sry oops
Aight
You would see your game in there, delete it entirely
This doesn't touch your save data, just the game's install data.
And since it's a physical cartridge game, the data in there is just the update and DLC if it has.
Makes sense
After you have done it, turn off your Switch
Klm
Remove the microSD card, don't put it back in
And then turn on your Switch without the microSD card in it
Put the game back in, and try to start it
It may ask to download update data, DLC, etc...
let it does that, this time it will be installed into your internal memory because the microSD card is not in there
See if it can work or not
Kool, I’m having the same problem with cup head for some reason and it isn’t a cartridge game only one of em is
I’d I do the same thing?
Do*
There no manage software only software I’m guessing that works
Oh yeah that's the one
Weird, I swear it's manage software before
The data stored in your microSD card can be corrupted. This test we are doing above is basically removing the microSD card out of the equation.
Huh, it's Manage Software
Oh are you using it in a different language?
Nope
Oh dang wth
0_o can I have a screenshot?
Do I remove the sd card and then do all of this
I see
Yeah, but don't delete Cuphead, just do it with Starlink, the one we are having issue with
Although this can be a solution, it's actually a test
We'll move onto a more throughout solution after
I guess in UK region, that setting is really called "Software" instead of "Manage Software" in the NA region
Ok keep continuing
Remove the microSD card, don't put it back in
And then turn on your Switch without the microSD card in it
Put the game back in, and try to start it
It may ask to download update data, DLC, etc...
let it does that, this time it will be installed into your internal memory because the microSD card is not in there
Gawd Dayum
Ping me again when you are done
Aight the switch is on without the mocrosd card
Soooo if this works do I do the same for cup head?
No, we have to do something else
But... did it work or not?
So do I message u when the game finishes downloading?
Also after this am I able to transfer it over to my sd card
It’s coz my switch doesn’t have that much space lol
Oops forgot to ping for the questions lol
Ping me later when you can launch the game, and tell me if the game can start normally or not
And don't worry about this, we'll deal with the microSD card so you can use it normally
For some reason I can’t see ur messages but the ones I read it’ll take like a few hours to download so I’ll ping u then
Aaaah noice cheers
That much???
What the... I wonder what's in that game's data
Ye it’ll take a few hours my internet is gud apparently not 😭😭
Ah well, I didn't account for it to be that long. Just wait then ^^'
Aight 😁
Mr pikachu man
The game downloaded and I’m hyped to relive some memories 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Now what?
Just run the game
tell me if it still gives you the error or not
Nothing went wrong, eh?
Well, good news is it's a pretty common issue, super easy to fix
bad news is you have to do some work lol
Hehe right
So it's pretty much just a corruption of data on the microSD card
some part of it was corrupted
So what do I do to the sd card?
To get rid of this issue entirely, you will have to format the card properly
Now first, you have to read through this tag below
SWITCH'S DATA ALLOCATION
・ All data, including games' install data (the game + DLC + Update), screenshots, gameplay capture videos, users' settings and save data are initially stored on the Switch's internal memory.
・ From the moment a microSD card is put into the Switch, all future games' install data, screenshots, gameplay capture videos will be stored into that microSD card. This will be applied to any other subsequent microSD card put into the Switch.
・ Past games' install data, screenshots, gameplay capture videos will not be automatically moved over to the newly inserted microSD card and will stay in the Switch's internal memory or previous microSD card. You can manually move them in System Settings ⚙️ > Data Management.
※ Important: Users' settings and Save Data will always remain on the Switch's internal memory and cannot be moved over to the microSD card.
・ In order to move data from one microSD card to another, type !tag sdt for a guide.
Tell me when you are done
Dun
Ok, now tell me do you want to keep the screenshot/gameplay capture video?
I never do that anyway so no
Nice, less work
Ok so now you know your save data is safe, yeah?
What we just need to do is simply format the card
Read below
MICROSD CARD FORMAT AND TEST
§ To fix Error Code: 2016-0641, data corruption issue. For fixing microSD card not recognized, broken microSD card reader please use tag sdr
※ Note: microSD card only stores screenshots/video capture and games' install data. Save data is stored on the internal memory of the Switch.
■ How to properly format a microSD card to use on Switch console:
○ You will need a PC computer and a microSD card reader.
1. Use this software, SD Association's SD Memory Card Formatter, and format the microSD card using Overwrite option.
2. Format your microSD card again using your computer's formatting feature. exFAT and FAT32 filesystem is preferred.
3. Put the microSD card into your Switch console and use the built-in function to format the card one more time.

■ If you suspect your microSD card is broken or fake/counterfeit, you can test using these software:
・ Windows: H2Test (Read/Write speed test)
・ Mac: Black Magic Disk Speed Test or F3XSwift
One question
Yep, go ahead
So for cup head I didn’t have nearly enough space to have it on internal memory
And so I moved it to my sd card
How do I see where all my save data is for my games?
Eh it's all on the internal memory
It's mentioned in the tag previously
All of your save data is stored on the internal memory, it doesn't involve the microSD card at all
=3= I even did mark it as Important
oops
Read the tag again

When we format the card, all the games' install data and picture/video will be deleted
for games, you just need to redownload them, and when you run them again, it will load the save data from internal memory
for pic/vid, well, you don't want to save them anway
So continue on...
Check the formatting tag again

Read it and ask me question if you don't understand something
You’ve been a big help
One problem
My parents T’s u expectedly took us to a hotel
T?
So I can’t access my laptop 😅
typo my bad lol
Well, let me explain something
I have my sd card but no laptop at the moment
Not a reader they both at home imma have to wait till I’m outta here
The Switch has its own formatting feature, but it's very basic, it's only a soft-format and creating the folder structure for the console to use.
That's why Nintendo recommends that method in the tag I posted. What it does is basically do a full format, re-arranging things to make sure everything is good and swell. And then you would use the Switch's format feature again to create the folder structure.
So now that your microSD card has some data corruption, to fix it entirely you have to go through those steps.
But... you don't have to do it now.
Very noice so the computers reformatted is like a full revamp and the switches one is like decor, noice
I meant, right now, what you want is just to fix that game, and then keep it like that till you get home.
Just remember to do it when you get home
Understood
If you want to get this tag again, you can go to #command-central and type !tag sdf
and the bot will give you the tag again
try it now if you want
And if you completely forget about it, just make a new post in this channel and ask me again
Noice ver ver gud
Aight talk tomorrow then imma be here over night cheers fo the help m8
Alright, good luck
@full crane I have arrived and my peanut brain needs a bit of a run through on this sd card reformatting because for some reason my laptop has a slot for a micro sd card but it’s not staying in 😭😭
Hmm you sure you put it in the correct direction?
I think so 😅
woah fast
Lol
Hmm I hope the spring inside is not broken

just a tiny bit further
Sure
Omg it’s on ther now it clicked
Now with the website to reformat the sd card I’m not sure where to go because there are so many things all over the place

let me get you the link
I don’t know what fat 32 is tho
I know what to do just not where to press and go to
ok just download that software first
scroll down on that big ass TOS then accept, it will start download
So I did do it right ok I hav a file now
you know how to unzip it?
run the setup.exe file inside it
No, it's just doing a lot of stuffs
and no, lol, it doesn't use the internet for it
just overwriting all the old data with random data
It's basically wiping your card clean and re-organize
I may go to sleep soon. So I'll just tell you what to do next here.
@lethal notch
Once that formatting is done, next step is to open Windows' Explorer, then right click the microSD card, select Format....
On File System, select either FAT32 or exFAT
Tick Quick Format
then press Start
let that format finish
then put the card back to your Switch, it will ask to format the card again, follow that
And then start redownloading your games. That's it.
This gonna take a while 😭😭😭
It does..
That burning cursor though 🤣
I used to do that, back in the 90s
Ah it's a freaking 1TB card, that's why
You gonna need to go on your day and let it does it things
may take a loooong time
it took me nearly 3 hours to format(non quick format) a 32 GB one...Gonna take a good while...
It's one issue with big card, yeah
Well after over night it took a while to reformat the 1000 GB card and finally
Tis dun
Ok só now it’s done I’m guessing I take it out of the laptop; put it in my switch and do the soft reformat?
Wait no, did you follow what I mentioned earlier?
From here: #1005561736000192644 message
Just use quick format
Aight so I gotta open the windows thing click on the sd and click reformat
Although tbh if you skip the computer's format that should be ok, too. It's just being extra careful
Imma do that just in case
Haha tbh with you this takes way too long, just because your card is 1TB
Yeah just do that anyway
Aight
But I hope quick format wouldn't be too long
Me too
Where should my sd card be in the explorer ther are two for some reason
Ah
Click on "This PC"
you will see a screen that list all the hard drives
which will only have 1 SDXC card
I c it yey
That list in the pic you have is just simply 2 different icon of the same one
Ok after that thing is done, then just put it back to the Switch, use the Switch's formatting again, and redownload games
go with either, they are both fine
This is what it’s supposed to look like right? Just being rly careful 😭😭
Yep, you can press Start
Because it's empty now
Ah
Aight I’ve put the sd card in the switch and it reformatted
The games are downloading and hopefully everything is sorted
Zank you ver much for this help mr pikachu you are very good in tech support
Aight have a noice rest of the day
You can actually move the Starlink game back from internal memory to the SD card now.
Doing so in the Data Management menu
And you are welcome, have fun.
Let me know if you have other issue with it
Kool, cheers m8
Just FYI, the quick format isn't quick because the card is already empty; the quick format is quick because all it does is clear the file allocation table. It would be quick even if the card was full of data.
I know, but it's also quick because there is no files in it. 2 factors.
no, not really.
There is also no index in there
