A brand new system software update has been released. Nintendo has just put out a milestone firmware release for the Nintendo Switch, bringing the OFW to 19.0.0. Despite the version number, it seems that this new update is purely focused on stability. That means support for custom firmware Atmosphere has been broken for now, with SciresM planning on fixing things in the next few days.

This is a major update, so Atmosphere will be broken until updated.

I just returned home from traveling this morning. I'll start updating Atmosphere as soon as I can, but it might be a couple days (Wed or Thurs, I think) before I can get really started in earnest. https://t.co/27tvUjwyrj

I updated mine by accident thinking it was just a prompt for a game update, guess I'll be stuck using ofw for a while.

It isn't like they're trying to stop CFW, they know Atmosphere will be updated shortly after

Do you research, SciresM doesn't support piracy, Atmosphere doesn't enable piracy on it own.

They can not they try but found no legal bases because Atmosphère do not violate any law and do no allow to run bad code by default, that's why patches loading was removed on recent Atmosphère versions.
