There definitely seems to be "something" that's common across the 3 gens (7/8/9 series) but doesn't seem to be affecting everyone.

Ah forgot you had the 970 series. No worries. I'll check and see if I can get any info on the 970 series. Hoping 970 could be next for FW update. 😉

Awesome yeah - and no worries. I'd hope so - there seems to be a bunch of issues they are aware of and working on, so lots of fixes should be incoming (but I guess lots of chances to break more stuff haha). I pinged the NG contact another email yesterday so hopefully I'll hear back there as well soon.
