Patch 01.000.302 for Helldivers 2 has been released and there are multiple problems that players have been dealing with already. The patch was aimed to fix issues with the game such as crashes and balance a few weapons like the Eruptor. Unfortunately, it seems to have had the opposite effect as many are complaining about the “buff” that the Eruptor received and others are letting the devs know that frequent crashes have been occurring on PC.
Multiple Helldivers have been posting about these issues on the Helldivers 2 Discord page. Luckily, community manager Twinbeard has reached out and let everyone know that a few issues are already being looked at and so we should be seeing a fix for these relatively soon. For starters, one user posted about the recent crashing they have experienced on PC since the update.
In response to the crashing inquiry, Twinbeard responded by stating, “Yes! This is one of 2 – 3 things we’ve already spotted.” He also said that they are “on it already.” It is good to see that the team is already ahead of the game on that one. Another user messaged Twinbeard about the Eruptor issues. Again, Twinbeard responded by saying, “We are already! There are two or three things we’ve noticed aren’t working as intended, even if we checked them beforehand. That’s one of ’em.”
So far we are aware of these two issues that have popped up from the latest patch but there could be more as the days pass and more players dive into battle. There’s a list of issues the devs are already aware of based on the patch notes but if you notice anything more, don’t be afraid to let the devs know. Hopefully, we will see a patch go out within the next few weeks to take care of the issues that players have been experiencing.
