PS3 Firmware 2.01 to Improve Stability IssuesPublished by wes213 on Tuesday, November 20, 2007
With numerous reports of hardware problems arising since firmware version 2.0 was released, Sony says inbound firmware version 2.01 “is a minor update that will improve the stability of PlayStation 3.”
Since the release of firmware version 2.0 earlier this month, numerous users have reported running into PS3 problems, from systems being unable to read movie or game discs, to systems failing to power up. Sony acknowledged that it had received “a relatively small amount of contacts” regarding such problems when contacted by Next-Gen last week, and said it was “looking into it further.”
It has since been announced, via PlayStation.Blog, that new firmware that will improve the stability of the system will be released imminently.
“Firmware v2.01 is a minor update that will improve the stability of PlayStation 3,” states Eric Lempel, director of PlayStation Network Operations.
When contacted Monday Sony was still unable to clarify whether firmware version 2.0 was at the root of the recent influx of PS3 problems, or exactly which stability issues the inbound firmware will address, although the platform holder said an update on the matter should be made available over the coming days.
One of the latest issues to come to light relates to a host of technical issues with Assassin’s Creed on PlayStation 3. On the game’s official forums users write of a host of problems including frame rate issues, screen tearing, and game-stopping lock ups dubbed the "white screen of death". Many users also confirm that they are using firmware 2.0 at the request of an official Ubisoft forum manager.
