Hacking Update 2.1.0 out.

[KingVamp]

At this rate, we will have Netflix and a Browser pretty soon.

 

[Meteor7]

Thanks for the "stability", but I think I'm going to pass for the time being. Show me that fix for Zelda's framerate you've been talking about and then we'll see who updates what.

 

[kfgtboy808]

Just went ahead and update it, I have 2 unopened switches on my desk.

 

[Lightyose]

I came back and this is what I get. Even if I don't have a Switch. ...
Or is it good news...

 

[CrimsonMaple]

Me thinks this console will make many stable shacks.

 

[Kourin]

Really wish Nintendo would detail these updates for those interested, it'd be a lot more interesting to read than 90% of the 3DS' updates which were just 'stability'

• General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.

I fucking hate it when Ninty tries pretending firmware updates ''improve user stability''.
There have been NO changes since 9.6.0-24 (except patches).

This early in the Switch's lifecycle, it probably does address some stability issues. It's known that people were having various wifi issues (including ones that apparently caused FPS drops in games), so they may have ironed out some of these issues.

 

[jt_1258]

so there already trying to make the switch stable like 3ds is to the point of being the ultimate wall building material XD

 

[Thirty3Three]

Thanks Nintendo! The Switch is going to be more stable than my life.

Off-topic... but I love your avatar haha!

Just upgraded a new Switch from 1.0.0 to 2.1.0. Pegaswitch on console refreshing endlessly, debug log reads "Success percentage: 0.00 (100 samples). Exploit failed."

Not super surprising -- there were changes made to the open source release in 2.1.0 ( see https://www.nintendo.co.jp/support/oss/index.html ) that look plausibly related:

Heads up. My system now wants me to update before resuming a suspended game. This happened all of a sudden and I don't know what triggered it.

edit: it won't let me launch any game now without updating. I can still access the eshop though, weirdly enough.

 

[sarkwalvein]

Don't give me reasons not to update, give me the reasons to update... if they even exist.
Some real problem fixed?
Better framerates? Was the wi-fi resources hogging problem solved?
Any improvement whatsoever?
More themes, whatever... Is this update worth my time downloading it?
Suppose I don't give a fuck about exploits, it is worth me looking for it for any reason?

Update: after turning off wifi and doing a full power cycle, I was no longer locked out of my games. Phew.

 

[Risingdawn]

I'm sticking with 2.0.0 for the time being. Until there are features or decent games that require an update to use I see no point in updating.

I got a switch for couch co-op and portability not online play so atm there's zero incentive for me to update.

Give me a browser, some apps, a few more decent games and some system improvements Nintendo and then we'll talk, or give me some homebrew and emulation so this thing is actually usefull and I'll stay with 2.0.0. Whichever comes first.

 

[DarkIrata]

Uhh i have some 5.3.2 | 5.5.1 flashbacks uhh.

Just update. Mostly Wifi Fix and smaller crash fixes people had. Maybe 1-2 Exploits people reported trough the bounty system.

Guys, update unless there's a kernel hax/hax entrypoint.
Right now we only have a browser hijacking method (The browser will be added soon™, like on 3DS)

Well. Than i'm working for Nindi too. Since i am also pro update.
