HELLDIVERS 2 UPDATE CAUSES CRASHES

Mar 21, 2024 12:04 PM

The sequel to the popular tactical shooter game, Helldivers 2, is currently facing issues after its latest patch. While the update has successfully fixed problems with friend invites and malfunctioning stats, it's led to an increase in game crashes. This has been acknowledged by Arrowhead Game Studios, who are actively investigating and working on stabilizing the game for the players. Moreover, the patch that aimed to adjust the self-destructive behavior of the Patriot Exosuit mechs seems to have partially backfired. Players are still encountering instances where firing missiles from their exosuits might lead to their unfortunate demise—something that the team behind Helldivers 2 will continue to address to improve the overall gameplay experience.

What are the current issues with Helldivers 2 after the latest patch?

After the latest patch, Helldivers 2 players are experiencing frequent game crashes and problems with their mechs, which can still self-destruct when firing missiles. Arrowhead Game Studios is looking into these issues to provide fixes and improve game stability.

Helldivers 2 is a cooperative multiplayer tactical shoot 'em up game developed by Arrowhead Game Studios. It is the sequel to the original Helldivers, released in 2015. Helldivers has been celebrated for its challenging gameplay and the requirement of teamwork and strategic planning. Set in a satirical dystopian future where players take on the role of soldiers fighting for the freedom of "Super Earth," the game is known for its immense difficulty, procedurally generated levels, and community-driven global campaigns. The sequel has been anticipated to expand on these features while offering new content for veterans and newcomers alike.
