While Arrowhead Games, the developer, has acknowledged online features not working when the console language is set to Ukrainian, this and other known issues are on the list to be fixed. The popularity of Helldivers 2 is undeniable, as it has topped sales charts on Steam and pushed past three million copies sold.

What are the known issues still affecting Helldivers 2 following the latest patch?

The known issues post-patch include cross-platform friend invite glitches, Hellpod steering problems near large objects, issues with the Ukrainian language setting, loadout selection bugs in multiplayer, an incorrect display of planet liberation progress, vitality booster-related bugs, exosuit delivery damage, stratagem deployment errors, visual artifacts during explosions, and occasional player loadout resets.

Helldivers 2, developed by Arrowhead Games, follows the success of its precursor, Helldivers, which was widely acclaimed for its cooperative gameplay and challenging mechanics. The sequel has built upon this foundation and has introduced new weapons, enemies, and a deeper lore, ensuring that the community stays engaged and the series remains a staple in the realm of cooperative shooters. The game's continued support through patches and updates reflects Arrowhead's commitment to improving player experience and maintaining Helldivers 2's momentum within the gaming community.
