Arrowhead Game Studios has released a small but significantHelldivers 2patch to improve game stability connection issues.
Patch 01.000.006was deployed on PC andPlayStation 5today (February 14) and is in direct response to the series of ongoing reports from players regarding server connectivity issues and matchmaking bugs.
The multiplayer shooter, which launched last week on February 8, received a patch recently for both PC and console with a similar goal to address performance,server, and login issues, however, Arrowhead was forced to roll back the PC version asplayers were “experiencing significant degradation in performance”.
It looks like the latest patch has combated this problem by resolving disconnect and stability issues - with the studio explaining that it has improved backend activity to reduce the likelihood of disconnecting during missions. It has also implemented a “build for upcoming server matchmaking improvements” which are likely to be added with a later patch.
In addition, some players online have been experiencing abug that would crash their gameif they have too many friends, but this has thankfully been resolved with the latest patch, along with other crashes related to disconnecting during the joining cutscene.
