Sony PS3 Update 2.41: New firmware to overcome problems

awrite, aye ma ps3 had a problem wi 2.40 kept on freezing but everything’s fine now since i updated go 4 it. enjoy

was in the middle of a warhawk game when the console froze up. took pictures. manually rebooted it and found that an update was required to start gaming again. installed it. works fine. i like the little date and time display in the upper right corner.

Updated, all working fine. And actually faster, reports are also in that streaming is improved – so all in all, 2.41 looks VERY good.

Yep, the update went smoothly for me too.

dn loaded 2.41 system still freezes every so often in cod4 seems like somthing to do with bluetooth, any ideas????

Yeah with 2.40 my PS3 kept freezing up and I couldn’t get it to keep working. But now that I have 2.41 it’s running just fine and I am back to kicking butt in COD4 :-p

it is great but it hasn’t got home

Updating to 2.41 now, seems to be fine to me. Honestly, I didn’t even know there was a problem with 2.40 – it was working fine for me. Then again the only thing I really play is Rock Band so I suppose I’m not a good sample of the Playstation population.

i love this new update it is very good and now i can read mail without having to quit the whole game. my only problem is how do u quit the game. but this is a very good update and i love it

4.0 froze me once downloaded 4.1 and everything is looking good no problems

everything works fine 2.41 all tyhe sceptics about donloading it, it is clear not configuration problems in the firmware software this time

XMB works fine but have been having problems with all online games as have all of my frieds who have also downloaded the up date Bad company wont let us join games, Vagas lags like mad and has a few majour glitches like taping R1 to fire after reloading and the guns reloads again and grenades not beeing thrown or blowing up emtying mags into people and AI bots and they dont die and players randomly dieing on terorist hunt with no shots beeing fired COD wont let us join games or when it does it keeps frezing, GTA wont let us join or frezzes for 30 seconds then works again for 5 and does the same and lags realy bad and talking on headsets just makes a buzing sound when someone talks

the 2.40 update didn’t cause me any problems, but now that i’ve installed 2.41, my system won’t read any discs at all. it just leaves the loading icon up in the top right corner whenever i put a disc in, and nothing happens.

my ps3 won’t let me download the 2.41 update which stops me getting online to play cod4. downloadd updates for other games so it’s not a getting online problem. says a connection to the server cannot be established (80710723) anyone got any ideas????

Im having audio problems with the 2.41 version, I have a HMDI output, can anyone help me please?

after 2.41 my ps3 freeze every 5 minutes of play… i did the search and found it very comun… i decided format my hdd and restore settings, now i got the icon spinning on the corner and the ps dont read any of my games… what can i do? replacing hdd may help??

I’ll second Fish’s question about fixing the connection to server could not be established issue. This prevented me from getting 2.40 and I decided I’d wait a few weeks (as I don’t use my PS3 much) for another update or at least for Sony to fix their servers. I couldn’t tell if it was something on my end or not, but with at least a few other people reporting the same problem with connecting to the server to download the software, I’m pretty sure something is fishy.

I’m curious to know for those of you who have 2.41 if you downloaded the update to flash drive and installed it or if you downloaded it via the PS3. If you did, any clue as to why it hasn’t been working for some of us?

Or if you just know of this problem and how to fix it or what to do, I’d appreciate it.

Thanks

I am also having problems with my audio. It works fine through my HDMI output but it doesn’t work with my optical output (speaker system). Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

i also down loaded the new software now my console will not turn on .the green light comes on then flashes to yellow then flashing red light i would advise every one to remove it until they get it fixed because now my will not work at all i had know problems until the 2.42 do not install

just finished speaking with a sony representative told them some problem im having . ”i asked hey do u think its cause of the latest update ,(ME knowing thats the case) she didnt even let me finish and already she was saying no.ive concluded they r having far 2 many calls regarding my same problem ,that r already automatic with da no answer,or maybe a higher ranked has order them 2 say no 2 this question.i aint no genius but even a retard would kno its a software problem

since ive updated to 2.41 my ps3 has been freezing in games, disc’s will rarely load, and when they do they will freeze within 10 minutes or less

mine started freezing after 2.41 to me forever to get 2.42 after 15 tries finally installed but still having freezing issues after 1to5min of use no matter what im doing…at times will not play dvds now as well when it freezes downloads keep coming in dvd will eject and go in but screen is frozen with whatever is on screen and remote will not work….sony denies anything to do with update after about 5 calls…..

ps3 keeps logging out when downloading updatesfor resistance2…and the new call of duty world at war..gets to about 16.percent. please help.

so how do u update it by the way
