I’ve been having random issues playing games (various) while downloading games to my SD card.

For example:

I’m downloading Mass Effect Legendary and wanted the game to continue to download in the background on my SD card. I play Cyberpunk 2077 for a bit, and after about 15 minutes the deck crashes and restarts.

I then tested the opposite, playing a game on my SD card while downloading a game to the SSD. Same issue.

Anyone else seeing this? Could be a bad or failing SD card. It takes ages for anything to write to it. I have reformatted it in the past and disabled WiFi Power Control under the dev settings to try to “fix” the hills and valleys while I install games on it over 2-3 GB.

Yeah I just assumed I’d drop a few frames. Guess I’ll stick to playing Celeste or something like that if I’m playing anything while downloading.
