perhaps, I don't see why they wouldn't, some wii disc games even had updates with themWill the game carts have update partitions like 3DS ones do?
do. not. update. just because we can run code with a Webkit exploit does not mean they're not patching firmware and kernel in 2.1+ to remove privilege escalation opportunities
Will the game carts have update partitions like 3DS ones do?
people are acting like I can choose wheter or not to update, but my switch just updates automatically :/ i'm on 2.3 rn so I'm still "safe"

I dont think such option existsSo isnt turning off auto update enough?
I'm new to the switch!
So the Automatic Software Updates button does not include firmware updates. Makes sense...I dont think such option exists
Does the switch update without asking - like the update nag in the 3ds?So the Automatic Software Updates button does not include firmware updates. Makes sense...
Thanks for replying, so if I switch off the automatic updates and am on flight mode would I be able to play a game without updating the fw?when you start a game it will ask you to update the software. if you click update it does not update the game software (like you could think it would).. instead it just updates the firmware. I guess a lot of people don't understand that.
Thanks for the advice, I'm on 2.3 at the moment (just got the switch and updated yesterday) and have been playing Mariokart online. So if there is an update it would ask me to update before loading the game? Are you unable to load the game if you don't update? Sorry for the noob questions!yeah, i guess so.
my console never updated itself automatically. (i even use WiFi actively!)
if you want to be super safe and you dont need Internet at all just set up a DNS (that blocks updates) or a proxy (that does not exists... so you cant connect at all)
the only thing that might be problematic: if the console found an update before you entered flightmode.. i m not sure if it acts as shitty as the 3ds and always nags about updating. so be careful when starting a game ^^
So you just select 'start software' and it'll play the game? Thanks!no there s a nag with 3 options
1. start software
2. update
3. cancel
so you always are safe if you dont click wrong i guess. at least it is like that on 2.1.
i updated yesterday to 2.3 so i cant screenshot it sadly
i had it on german - in german it does not say System Update as far as i remember
but in english its quite obvious:
^like this. (pic is from hackinformer)
Hi, is it really as simple as that? I can do it all the switch as you advise? Cheers.if you want to block future firmware updates (only does firmware, game updates and eShop and etc still work fine afaik), just go into internet settings, edit your connection, change DNS to manual, and set both to 173.255.238.217
