Here's something I'm not seeing anyone really mention, regarding the file format. SO, I format the 512 microSD card, and the ally still will not pick it up. The even stranger part? I pop a 128gb microSD card into the Ally, and it loads instantly and works without issue. The strange part? I can load the microSD in my other computer and it pops up just fine.everything still in place, all data, everything loads and works just fine, tested. (The microSD card has to be inserted for SDXC to show under hard drives, but could be problematic navigating with the issue at hand.) SDXC does not let me update with those drivers no matter what I do, resulting in the 圆4 pop up message. (no stranger to this with failing/failed drives, this is the exact same thing that normally happens in windows.)Īfter unsuccessfully trying to install the driver solution here, with it not making much sense, are we selecting SDXC under hard drives or the other option under memory? Kinda confusing directions here, but I tried both. Was working fine since the ally's release date, then suddenly when gaming on it, it just went dead, resulting in the same issues mentioned throughout here with system locking up because it's trying to read the drive but can't. Riddle me this: Samsung 512gb New Generation microSD, purchased from bestbuy. and I have a problem and I have very low expectations of ASUS's response after experiencing their support first hand. so SD card game support is pretty much a requirement for gaming portables, IMHO. not everyone wants to pay for and install a new 2TB SSD. it actually was performing way better than I had hoped. I was really enjoying the Ally until this point, even though I had low expectations compared to my steam deck with all the pre-reviews. I don't like being cynical, but my support experience (lack of ANY technical knowledge or understanding by their rep, or care to help) makes me think it may be the worst. and maybe, at best, only recommend indie games in performance mode on the SD. not find a technical issue (cause it's a design one). I doubt a company like Asus will take the loss of a recall in that way. and after the quality of my Asus support response. Now you should get actual working card reader drivers.Īlthough, is it only 1TB microSDs failing or is it also lower? I have had my Ally since launch and didn't have any issues regarding the card reader (then again, I have 512GB). cab file to any folder then right-click/RT > Install on the extracted GIPciSD.inf file. Anyhow, the actual latest drivers for it should be this from Microsoft which is v1.1.41.100, newer than the Intel driver posted here. Drivers should be for Genesys Logic PCIe card reader, which should've installed automatically from Windows Update. The one currently in the support page is for Genesys Logic USB 3.0 card reader. Mine was working fine, but I uninstalled the drivers to try the drivers provided in the Ally's support page which didn't really work and just gave me generic SD Association drivers that made my Ally laggy as shit. It's literally just because they're for a different product. I've looked a bit into the SD card drivers provided in ROG Ally's support page and it seems like it's actually the wrong drivers being provided, not because the drivers aren't 64-bit (and further evidenced by a different commenter here). Google "disable Windows driver updates" for that. There are many ways to disable that feature, registry tweaks are the most reliable, since windows likes to turn things back on automatigally without your consent. Windows WILL install broken drivers at some point and create problems, it's only a matter of time. This is a perfect opportunity to learn that you should disable Windows handling driver updates asap, on all your PCs. I read comments of people having that driver "updated" by windows. Browse to the folder you unzipped before and select the file from there. Right click it - update driver - browse my computer for drivers - Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer ‘Have Disk…’. something" on the list (I don't remember exactly, but it was the only device starting with SD). Instead, open device manager (search it in start menu) find "sd. This driver from Intel's site works fine and I can finally use my SD with no issues.īefore, every time I would plug an sd card the whole system would freeze or become very slow.ĮDIT: for the people unfamiliar with manually installing drivers (opening any of the files inside the zip will not do anything) No, installing the driver from Asus doesn't do anything because its not even a 64bit driver! Windows still uses their own driver after you install that.If you extract the package from Asus (not install) and try to manually install that driver from the device manager, windows will tell you its not a 64bit driver, so it can't be used! Asus REALLY messed up with this one. No, it will not be fixed with formatting.
