last firmware update broke the Unleashed on my A7R3!?

Hello,
after the Unleashed ran at least in the basic functions with my Sony A7R3, I threw the Unleashed into the corner at some point - especially when it turned out that it did NOT support the Syrp Genie 1 - and they let me try it for weeks. Not nice!
After a few months, I took it out again-maybe there was a firmware update.
And there was!
So I updated to the latest firmware version - and now it works even less!
Can anyone confirm this?
Firmware A 3.5.0/ B 3.5.1/ C 3.3.1

Every sd card write operation in Timelapse or Holy Grail mode aborts with an error message:

"Schreibvorgang auf Speicherkarte nicht korrekt abgeschlossen. Daten wiederherstellen?"



Can anyone confirm the problems?

Is there a way to downgrade the firmware??

I am so annoyed and disappointed! And can only agree with most of the previous posters.

I'm not a Sony user, but can confirm that the latest firmware "upgrade" destroyed the last vestiges of functionality in the 22'M devices on my Nikon Z fc and Zf.

Thus we both are stuck on the same sinking ship.

Is there a way to downgrade the firmware??

so many reads and not yet an answer on the intersting question:

Hi all,

It is a shame and disgrace that no one is being served and helped on this forum with answers from Foolography. They choked on the complexity of supporting all camera brands by offering simultaneous support for all brands. If they had implemented brand by brand, step by step, it might have worked. Never promise in advance what you can't deliver afterwards.

Now a lot of customers have bought a device that is useless to them, because of all the features that were promised to them in advance never seem to work and in the future never ever are going to work.

It is sad to see this project go completely derailed. A project with too much ambition and less realistic outcome. I think that is the final conclusion everybody should draw from this project.
