If an update is generally intended to correct bugs and improve stability, that recently deployed on Nintendo Switch seems to cause the opposite effect with a large bug.
The update 20.0.0 Nintendo Switch was to be a simple formality. But since its deployment, several players have faced a critical bug. An error message, The code 2206-1015is displayed as soon as the console is switched on. Result: the machine becomes unusable. Nintendo confirmed the problem and conducts the survey.
A start -up bug that worries Nintendo Switch
For the players concerned, everything changes just after installation. The console Nintendo Switch Restart, try to get started … and displays a blocked screen with an error code. Unable to access the menu. Impossible to play. Worse still: for some, the console remains blocked even after several attempts. On social networks, testimonies are multiplying. The common point? A bug that arises upon update to version 20.0.0.
Good news all the same: Nintendo is aware. The company has published a message via its customer support in Japan. She confirms that she investigates the 2206-1015 error and promises to give more information soon. In the meantime, it recommends that users do not do anything risky. In other words, avoid hazardous manipulations if your Nintendo Switch is blocked.
A rescue mode exists
Fortunately, a temporary solution exists. By maintaining the volume buttons + and – during ignition, some users manage to launch the mode maintenance from the Nintendo Switch. This hidden menu allows you to reset certain parameters, or even restart an update. But beware: this manipulation remains at your own risk. And Nintendo did not officially validated it.
This bug does not concern all consoles. According to several returns, The oldest modelsespecially those released in 2017 are the most at risk. The Switch Lite, OLED or the models with improved battery seem, for the moment, spared. A theory is circulating: some consoles, which have remained long without updating, would have “jumped” an important step. This would cause conflict with the current version of the firmware.
This is what makes the situation even more frustrating for users of the Nintendo Switch. Update 20.0.0 introduced new useful functions. Among them: the virtual gaming cardsa system of game sharing Between consoles, and transfer tools to the future Switch 2. Nintendo also, as often, announced “stability improvements”. Ironically, this time, the opposite happened.
