Topic: Having problem downloading certain games with my SD Card

Hi everyone,

I really need help with this. I bought a 128 GB SD Card online, tried it on my phone, it worked perfectly.
And then I tried it on my Switch, it worked perfectly. Or so I thought it did.

Downloaded Overcooked 2, and it plays well.
And then I tried downloading NBA 2K20, here's where the problem started.

After downloading 2K20, I received an error saying, "Corrupted data", tried redownloading it, and still, corrupted data.
The same thing happened with Resident Evil 5 and 6. Corrupted data.

Also reformatted my SD Card, and still, you guessed right! "Corrupted data"

I got a hunch this is an issue with the SD Card.
Any tips on fixing this? Or should I just buy a new SD Card?
It's very frustrating to download and only waiting for "Corrupted data"

@Veex I don't think is an actual problem with your sd card. I've seen a couple "corrupted data" prompts since Switch launch, too. But it's only been an issue with a specific game. I want to say shutting the game down while the game is loading/saving may have played a role, but I never really do that.

Did you try to update the game? (disregard, if you did)

My memory is fuzzy on how I resolved previous issues, but here's what I remember, to the best of my knowledge.

With Rocket League, I recently saw a "corrupted data" prompt, but it was referring to my game save data, which is stored on the Switch internal memory (not the micro sd). With the Switch, game save data is stored on the Switch internal memory, while all patches/updates/dlc go onto your micro sd.

To solve the issue, I think I pressed (+) on the game tile. When I selected "save data cloud" I think there was an option to fix the corrupted save data.

I'm not 100% this is your issue, but that's what I remember.
