The newest patch for Helldivers 2 is significantly smaller than previous updates and is intended to address issues with Arc based weaponry. Yes, the patch notes below really are that short.
A few days ago, the developers of Helldivers 2 identified the cause of persistent crashes for some players immediately after patch 01.000.103 was released on March 20:
We have identified the cause of the freezes many players have been experiencing, and we're in the process of building a patch to fix it that should be ready to deploy early next week. In the meantime, we advise against using the Arc Thrower, Arc Shotgun, and Tesla Tower as those appear to be linked to the issue. Thank you for your continued patience!
This week’s patch stops the game from freezing when using the above mentioned weapons and Stratagems.
Read more further down below, to find out about issues that have NOT been resolved yet. Check out the rest of our guides for potential fixes on some of them, if you continue to be denied your right to deliver democracy.
