It is not related to the game, it may be just a writing error, try to rewrite it on the SD.

Yeah I’ve done that several times, also format SD (fast and full), changed format to fat32 and exfat, all the same result

That offset in the banner is really weird.
I once experienced this kind of problems with bad banners in SWISS, the RTC battery in my cube was fading (still saving SRam and clock, but no clock progress when powered off). Changing the battery resolved the problem.

Does your cube keeps time after a night or one day or two without using it?

Many of the launching models Cubes currently see their battery dying, I changed my black's one in the beginning of this year, and my purple's one last week or so.

Problems were quite random and inconsistent, but one of my SDs was more affected than the others. If your clock progresses when powered off, it may not be that, that was just an easy first check.

double checked with 2 GC, both with good battery, same problem


update

I found that if swiss its been loaded first by other media (other sd or dvd), and later manually I load the "problematic" sd , finally the problematic sd works fine.
