Gaming Wii U System Update is now live

Damn...main menu -> system menu is still 20 seconds.

And the problem I'm having with the TV control thingy is still the same.

Right, I heard a lot of people having freezing issues. Maybe this update fixes those.

I'm honestly not able to use the TV control on my TV. Mainly because our sound comes from our surround sound, and our channel surfing comes from our Satellite box which you can't control with the TV control. Bit of a bummer, but eh, whatever.

I wonder what takes so long, Nintendo being overly paranoid and doing tons of anti piracy check between their server/your console every time you switch menu?

there's no server side check each time you load a menu, it's only offline checks (maybe decryption of the full title/menu in ram before displaying it? full Checksum verification before/after decryption?)

I though there was because some people (maybe here I don't remember) said their Wii U froze because they lost their internet connexion while loading a menu...

My WiiU is not always on internet, and it's slow too
But maybe if a connection is established, it's sending user's data and wait for a reply?
I didn't track the online data while switching menus, only when launching games.

The download at one point was reading 99h 59m because it just wasn't downloading fast enough, but then within a minute, it went down to 8m.

LOL, it's finished downloading and it's updating now, should be finished soon.

 

[gundalf]

Are you guys actually waiting for the Update?
Mine did it automatically in the Background, i was watching youtube and playing nsmbu with no problems.

@jalaneme
The WiiU has the Wii 512 MB Nand Chip on the mainboard installed, so Wii Stuff wont take space on the WiiU.

Waiting for the update to download as well. I do hope they eventually fix how slow the menu is, but if they take care of the freezing issues, that's good enough for now.
