Helldivers 2: New Patch Combats Idle Player Camping

Feb 22, 2024 1:07 PM

In a recent update for the cooperative shooter Helldivers 2, Arrowhead Game Studios has launched a patch to improve player experience by removing idle players from servers. Patch 1.000.11 introduces a system that auto-kicks players who have been inactive for 15 minutes. This feature comes as a relief to active players who face difficulties entering games due to server spot camping. Additionally, the patch resolves issues causing multiple crashes, such as those triggered when joining other players' games, Super Credit purchase failures, and bombardment-related disconnects. It also addresses the unavailability of online missions on the Galactic War Map, ship management panel access issues, and being stuck in intro cinematics. The update is now live on PlayStation 5 and PC platforms.

What changes does the Helldivers 2 Patch 1.000.11 include?

The Helldivers 2 Patch 1.000.11 includes an auto-kick feature for AFK players, fixes for multiple crash scenarios, improved stability, and ensures that online missions and other gameplay elements are accessible without bugs.

Helldivers 2, a strategic shooter game developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, is the sequel to the original Helldivers released in 2015. The game is known for its cooperative gameplay where players work together to complete missions and defend Super Earth against various enemies in a satirical dystopian future. The sequel continues to build on this concept with new features, classes, and improved mechanics to enhance the overall player experience.
