I have the exact same problem with my exFAT microSD but i format it with macOS because i don‘t have a windows install atm.
I hope this could be fixed quickly because would like to use homebrews but don‘t want to use FAT32!because then i have to split all of my xci files.

Will try the thing with the archive bit later. Hopefully it works without a problem after that :)

If not i will setup a windows VM and try to format the card there because on Page 1 i found the info it could be a problem if the drive was formatted via macOS.

TL;DR Don't modify the archive property in the official Nintendo folder. All other files/folders are fair game.

The problem isn't that it's formatted in a specific OS. The problem is where the files are coming from. For some dumb reason, macs have this bit set on any files that are uncompressed on their system.

Also, I would suggest unselecting the official Nintendo folder when doing the archive bit un-set. I've found that some of those files require the Archive bit to be set and some require it to be unset. Nintendo creates all those files on the switch itself, so there should be no need to modify any attributes. In fact, for some people (myself included) modifying that folder will cause the Switch to be unable to read the files within (and thus all your games will be unusable) or it will think the whole SD card is corrupt (and thus all your games will be unusable).

@sirAnger: Thanks for that info, will try it later if this fixes the problem (hope so ;))

But if the bit is set on every file then i have to do this everytime i copy a file from macOS to the SD card right?
Hope there will be a fix soon.
Hekate already seems to have a function in it as i read to change the bit, i think in next SX OS this method will also be included ;)
