A new Wii U system software update is LIVE

[masterchan777]

Another Wii U system software update is live now, I'm updating my EUR console and will report any noticeable changes

Update 1: It was a very small download, looks like a minor update with version 3.0.1

Update 2: The homebrew channel works fine with 3.0.1.

Update 3: it's a minor update with the following changelog :

Version 3.0.1 U available via an Internet connection includes the following improvements:Further improvements to overall system stability and software compatibility

please, tell us if it removes the homebrew channel.... oh, wait...

another update already? maybe to counter the wiikey

 

[Snailface]

Prediction: "enhance system stability".
Translation: Give Marcan's hack fetus an abortion.

You guys know the drill, don't update. (keep the WiiU offline too).

 

[Bladexdsl]

heheheh they've done something for sure and it ain't good. let the battle begin!

 

[masterchan777]

There will be a more important "Summer" software update coming for the Wii U, since WiiU Key hasn't been released yet I don't think this minor update would be relevant.
Anyways ladies and gentlemen, let the cat and mouse game begin

Are you saying that's what it does, or that's what you THINK it does?

Just guessing, although it's good to assume the worst in this case.
No sense in updating until fof fills us in.

 

[Ryupower]

there may have been some issues with games or other software on 3.0.0
so
3.0.1 may fix that

 

[the_randomizer]

Homebrew in vWii? Any news on that being affected?

so only WiiU mode is affected by this update

 

[The Real Jdbye]

"Further improvements to overall system stability and software compatibility" being listed as the only change is never a good thing. Maybe they fixed fail0verflow's exploit, who knows?

 

[hey_suburbia]

My guess is a fix to Netflix, among other things.

 

[Ergo]

I've been getting random lock-ups on some games (and Netflix) since the last update, so I'd imagine this will fix that.

 

[Bladexdsl]

well whatever it does it's got something to do with the eshop because it asks me t update when i try to use it now. so it should be safe to update?

Updated from 2.0.1 to this straight.. since I haven't turned on the WiiU in like 4 months.

Speedup in the last update? MY ASS!
Update kept failing with error code bullshit.. typical Nintendo. After 3 hours since this morning, I finally went through the update.
Everything completed. Time to check the improvements

I clicked on settings... plays the music, 20 seconds later the settings load up. I thought, ok, I will restart the WiiU and try again.
Same thing.. click on the settings and it takes about 15-20 seconds to load it up.
Now, lets go back to main screen.. takes about 15 seconds. WOW THAT'S BLAZING FAST!!!!

Fuck this. I am better off leaving it off and let it play dead under the desk -.-

I will be posting a video of this on my channel by tonight.
