Switch Update wiping data..?

[arle]

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I'm seeing some reports on Twitter that the new Switch update has been wiping data, including islands, which are non-recoverable at this point.

Does anyone have any solid info on this? Or know how to update safely?

EDIT: I was able to update my Switch with no apparent issues, thank you all for your replies!

Mine has updated and seems to be fine. Been playing this morning.

 

[moonolotl]

I just updated, unaware this was even a thing, and everything seems fine to me!

I’ve just updated mine and there aren’t any issues.

 

[cheezu]

Updated and no issues so far.

Hadn't heard of this. The update did not affect my save game.

 

[SinnerTheCat]

Updated and everything is fine for me!

This was the main tweet I saw, after digging I found a handful of users who said they had a similar issue, but nothing further

Weird

Got the update this morning, my island is still there, no errors or anything else.

I checked out the tweet and most people are either now scared to update their Switches or already done it and don't have any issues. Strange, as I didn't saw or hear anyone else having such a problem besides this one person here.

I dug through the keyword "Switch Update" under latest tweets and found maybe 4 other people who said they had an issue of similar nature? Possibly relating to whether they updated the game first or the console first, but wasn't able to confirm any further than that..

Updated, nothing happened.

I updated as soon as I saw the update prompt and had no issues.

Hm, that's confusing. So far, it seems that this case is at least not a huge issue that effects the majority of Switch users, otherwise there would have been much more people complaining about it by now. I guess the best thing those people who got affected by this can do is contacting Nintendo and ask them what went wrong.

Updated and all good

Maybe hacked saves got deleted? Mine worked fine this morning post System Update.

 

[Krissi2197]

I updated without knowing of this issue and my island is fine.

 

[sicklewillow]

Just updated and my island is intact.
