Miiverse times (from click to fully loaded with all images). Between batches I fully turned off the system and turned it back on.

batch 1:
1st load: 18.4 seconds
2nd load: 14.2 seconds
3rd load: 14.6 seconds

batch 2:
1st load: 17.4
2nd load:14.4
3rd load:14.5


Can you do the miiverse load from a fresh restart versus a second time?

 

[dvolovets]

Updating... took 2 minutes to get to 53%. What is going on with Nintendo's servers? The discrepancy in download/update times is pretty crazy.

 

[superpickleman]

Apparently my Wii U downloaded the update the last time I turned it on briefly because it just applied it when I turned it on. No wait for me, yay!

 

[ozfunghi]

I hear the firmware installs a faster CPU and upgrades the RAM bandwidth. This true?

Perhaps it downloaded partially in the background without you noticing?

Also completely off topic, holy crap it's Bulerias, I miss the old days on TBT... <3 Twilightking

 

[Tevos]

After the update my Nintendoland doesn't communicate with Miiverse anymore. Nobody's messages are in the game, when I tap any of the players walking around it says "When Miiverse is on" but it is on.

:/

I'm waiting for the Interweb speed boost update personally.

When exactly? I just entered the topic because it started installing out of nowhere on my WiiU.

How dare you say things that could be interpreted as making my system of choice look bad even though it's clearly a joke! You monster!

 

[KojiKnight]

Let's not turn this into a flame topic please...


Anyone else testing miiverse load times and seeing their first load on system turn on, and subsequent ones? I want to know if my "18 second" time (and consistently 14 after the first time) is just something wrong with mine or what.

 

[The Main Event]

Took me around 30-35 mins for the download. Installing now.

 

[ShironRedshift]

So... This update didn't do shit.

Nintendo the new Sony confirmed

For loading. Been messing around with Nintendo Land though, and it seems much more stable so far.

 

[boxter432]

ha I went to post a screenshot of getting all the stars in a world in Mario, and saw in X on my download management as it failed somehow. Then it started right up again. d/l decently fast.

They're right

I made that joke a few days ago. It's time has passed.

 

[Kunan]

So... This update didn't do shit.

Nintendo the new Sony confirmed

Fixes lockups, does it not? Hoping it deals with my AC3 lockups. I swear the game has a 30% chance to lock the system when I press the home button.

 

[Stoof]

Gonna be bannable soon, I'd assume.

If you're referring to the practice of typing Wii U as WiiU then I agree!

Spoiler

kidding

kind of

Yeah, mine crapped out while playing Nintendo Land. Picked up where it left off and seems to be moving much faster now.

1 hour and 37 minutes left... wtf nintendo.

Dunno, haven't gotten a chance to fully test it myself yet. I will before the nights out... but I was hoping to get a couple multiplayer games first... no luck.

As for someone saying Nintendo is the new sony.... As far as I know, this update doesn't block any piracy techniques while covering it up and calling it "system stability"... but who knows, maybe Marcan's words scared Nintendo enough to do a full security sweep of their code.

 

[Seance]

Why is it so large?

Is it replacing a lot if data in the first patch?

Nintendo don't have the expert programmers MS has. Just bad coding, like the initial update.

 

[VeryGooster]

Update process took close to 45 minutes for me. That was about three hours ago.

 

[Log4Girlz]

That's not funny. It would take weeks to download a better chip or faster ram.

 

[Seance]

"18 second"

Dat next gen processing power.

 

[Madouu]

The update took 45 minutes to download. The install took close to 15 minutes.

edit : loading up Miiverse for the first time takes about 15 seconds for me.

 

[Medalion]

You wouldn't download a car

Fuck no, that would take too long

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

My download and install took 15 minutes all in.

Some of you need to step your router game up.

[ScRYeD]

Does the disc drive spin down when your not playing the disc based game?

 

[Bullza2o]

I don't have a Wii U, but these update sizes are huge! This will probably take an hour with my 300 KBps max speed at the minimum! Thankfully my 3DS and Vita aren't like that. I wonder if the 8GB is enough after many years of update.

These first updates are likely to be bigger than most of the others... if you get a Wii U well after TVii comes out, they should be preinstalled.

 

[zroid]

I'm pretty sure the bulk of these updates is actually replacing data, not adding to it. The net storage taken up by each is probably quite small.

 

[Matt]

Well...didn't fix my problem. Still can't even start NintendoLand. Oh well, back to the store with you.

 

[GeorgioCostanzaX]

I had the same problem too yesterday when I picked up the game locking up almost every time it I hit home or paused: for what it's worth post patch I didn't have any issues throughout the hour I played today.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Just know I hate you.

Just did the 3DS update - 20 seconds. It finished before I could put it in the cradle to keep power.

lol

you guys surely didn't follow the WUST's for being as defensive as you are for Nintendo/WiiU, or you'd know i've been following WiiU since day one, already bought the console and have rather plainly been defending Nintendo's hardware choices. I was a Wii only gamer btw, while i've had a PC in my living room for two years now, with a 2600K, 16GB RAM and a HD4890... on which i do not game. Does that tell you something?

So while i may be fresh out of humor, you all need to get a sarcasm detector. It was a stab at the usual trolls. I thought that would have been clear.

 

[UltraMagnanimous]

This is the most tedious thread. Ever.

10 pages of moaning about a firmware update that does basically nothing.

 

[Drago]

[olimpia84]

3DS update: took 20 seconds
WiiU update: took 1 hour and 2 minutes

After the update I downloaded the FIFA 13 demo (roughly 1.2 GB) and it only took around 40 minutes...maybe the update somehow optimized the download speeds?

Game downloads and server updates probably happen from different servers.

 

[ArynCrinn]

Done with the update here, no noticeable improvements whatsoever.

 

[Lucent]

I just want hard locks to stop. Everything else can come later. It's a real mood-killer when you're having a blast with your friends in Nintendoland and suddenly the game locks up. =l

 

[brucelito]

Finished updating EU-update and noticing faster startup to the system menu, e-shop and miiverse.

 

[sakipon]

GamePad is awesome, I'm downloading the update without turning on the TV. This is the good life.

 

[KidGalactus]

Turned on Wii Woo, went to download manager on gamepad to check on update; gamepad screen is stuck on a white background with a blue icon that says "Download Manager". Can't back out of it or anything.

Is it busted?
