Problems Updating the Firmware?
I initially had problems when I first used the headset. So I did a little research and found that quite a few of us had encountered this problem. What seems to be happening is the firmware updater hangs and wont fully complete the process. Even read a post that the headset was bricked!! I did get worried I was going to brick this headset. What I eventually did was uninstalled the engine and reinstalled. Then when I got the notification below the the headset, in the engine home screen, I clicked the spot where it said headset need to update firmware. I did this step on my desktop several times btw with no luck. The firmware bar never progressed. So I repeated the whole process on my laptop. Now on my laptop the progress bar began to move although it did take a while to initialize I believe the process completed. So far I have not seen the error. I hope Steelseries can offer some help to those that are encountering this issue. Because I am not sure it wasn’t just luck that mine finally took. What was even more interesting I was able to still use the headset even though I received the headset failed to update message while using on my desktop?
**I did try to use the front panel USB on my motherboard, could have been part of it? Anyways use a port on the motherboard if all possible to update the firmware.
There we have it! The Arctis Pro Wireless Headset brought to us by Steelseries! Let us cover a few final thoughts in the conclusion of our review.
