Has anyone got the update yet?

No, I don’t think it’s like before where it was staged. I think once wiim release the updates it will be simultaneous on all devices. Why I’m saying this? Japan, UK, USA got them at same time because they posted their comments as soon they received them.

And there goes the theory of no staged updates down the flush ...

Could everyone who did not receive this update post here? Would be a tremendous help for WiiM and the community ...

Do I sense a little bit of sarcasm here.

No update on any of my 3 Ultras. USA, East Coast

 

[adias]

US based and no update. Not that I care because the current FW works fine for me.

Did I miss the announcement stopping staged releases?

[Saponetto]

Unfortunately, not everyone seems to have your fine senses.

 

[KNVPStudios]

Has anyone here actually experienced the latest Ultra update? Did WiiM forget to flip the switch? LOL

 

[renpar61]

I used to get the new firmware releases within a day or two from the announcement here.
This time I did not yet. US East Coast here.

 

[Smartplug]

I believe it’s a simultaneous all at once. The time when your device it’s turn no longer exists as none here got update.

 

[Vignus]

Italy - no update here

 

[Smartplug]

Normally when release notes get posted here in couple of days it would begin updating. I wonder why taking so long.

 

[onlyoneme]

Maybe some issues were identified during the early stage and the whole process is postponed.

And I got the update 5 min later

V5.2.703434 downloaded on Dec 30 came down again. As @onlyoneme said, it appears that the issues was found and fixed. The first post in this thread was also just updated, with the update date changed to January 3.
