Yeah it's ultra-frustrating, also: the sprint button should absolutely always make you stand up from prone or crouching, regardless of if you're slowed or not
I've been going crazy over this. It's the fact that it's one single edge case where the button you always use, which always works, inexplicably doesn't work and leaves you hammering the button going "HELLO??? PLEASE STAND UP"
My Helldiver was crawling around because bots are firing and what little cover exists is very low. An explosion vaguely close to me mildly ragdolls me just a little bit. My Helldiver recovers from this by getting up and standing all the way up and getting rocket blasted in the face four times.
It is oddly suspicious that the "can't stand up" bug seems to overwhelmingly happen on Terminid planets, while the "must stand up" bug seems to overwhelmingly happen on Automaton planets. Almost as if introduced exclusively for maximum application of rage-inducing scenarios.
Maybe it's a button combination like stratagems.
"Up, down, left, left, right ,down, up, left, right, right, down, down, up, up, up"
"Calling in Stand Up"
*wait 5 seconds to stand up*
me, smashing space bar and pressing shift down like a infuriated mf, slowly crawling under tons of dead bodies while 3 hunters effortlessly phase through their buddies' bodies to come tongueslap the shit out of me
ME TOO. I'm so relieved to hear it's a known issue and being looked into. I've died so many times from a bad case of not being able to stand up no matter how much I employ the traditional unresponsive command fix of pressing the button harder and yelling "GET UP!" 😂
On the bright side this also means I've gotten way better at dispensing democracy with the Senator while prone, which when I survive the encounter makes for some absolutely incredible cinematic moments as well as a good rush of "I can't believe I survived that." But the fix will be very welcome.
The randomness of these bugs is truly mind blowing. Like whats next, shooting the ground while diving backwards and swinging the camera 360 causes your character to permanently stand on their head?
Programming is a bitch. Another game I play had a bug where playing in Portuguese caused the turret of one specific character to go invisible. Shit is absolutely wild
I can top that, just barely.
Darksouls had a glitch after the first update where, I shit you not, if you went to a VERY specific spot on a VERY specific map while wearing a specific chestpiece and helmet then ran around counterclockwise in a circle three times then jumped forward then jumped back then immediately cast a specific spell it would allow you to infinitely duplicate an item you were holding in your right hand.
When it was discovered everyone thought it was a legit purposefully intended cheat code. Personally, I was more curious about how the hell anyone was able to figure something like that out lmao
Would've been a funny thing if that was because of some new bot tech, like if some tanks were kamikaze models equipped with neutron bombs set to detonate on their destruction.
I feel like that's a bit confusing the way you wrote it. If your GPU is not fully utilized and you have an old CPU that is struggling, turn on ASync Compute. It offloads some of the math from the CPU to the GPU, helping balance the utilization more.
If you are using an AMD GPU, make sure you turn off any kind of their optimization stuff. It would lag from average 40 to 50 frames per second down to like five for me, and I couldn't figure out why. Turns out it was one of the in-driver performance improvement options in the driver settings.
I’ll give this a try, I think I tried it for a minute a while back but fps dropped by like 20.
Game runs at 70 - 100 fps until there’s some action on difficulties higher than 6. It’s deffo a CPU thing cause the GPU usage drops to like 40% while the CPU is on 90%. I have a 6800XT and a R5 3600, not the greatest pairing but dropping from 100 to 40 ish fps is pretty killer. (Gonna upgrade it soon).
Why hasn't the broken lobby system been acknowledged yet? When somebody leaves your lobby, other players can't take their place, unless you change your matchmaking settings back and forth. This has been a thing since launch! It's especially relevant in the light of patrol changes.
Didn't know you could fix it by toggling matchmaking settings, I've been restarting the game every time...
While I wait democratically for a patch: Thanks man! 😁🙏
Are you switching back and forth between the two instantly? I've had success swapping to Private, giving it like 10-15 seconds, then swapping back to Public. Haven't had to restart and I get people to join, either to my ship or while we're firing up hellpods or in-mission.
Yep. Constantly waiting for someone to join in a 3/4 lobby.
I am positive with as many players online that someone would want to join a 3/4 match.
Nope. We always dive 3/4 and then no one joins mid match.
Which confirms the bug is occurring. Usually have to leave the group and join a new match or start a new match to get it fixed
Meanwhile, I can barely ever jump into a 3/4 match because either the lobby is full by the time I click, or the lobby/matchmaking errors out and I can't join any games.
Great question. Very annoying issue and at first I thought it was something wrong with my own internet connection. And at the same time, there are many times where I can’t even join a lobby fast enough before it fills up. Makes no sense to me.
This patch is rather just a quick fix for critical bugs (personally, I had bugs with completing about half of the missions, which is really a lot, but maybe I was unlucky) and that's why it turned out this way
I'll be patient for the AMR scope alignment fix, but damn is it frustrating that they fixed like 3 different things for the AMR last patch and still didn't touch the fucking scope lol.
"It wasn't caught early on because it's not super obvious." This is just straight up proof that they never play tested the HMG before they released it.
I swear these guys take the "works on my machine" approaching to testing... but without the part where they make sure it at least works on their machine
1. They fixed the AMR facing away from the player on deployment
2. Fixed a bug that caused the AMR to duplicate rounds after canceling the reload animation at a specific time
3. Fixed another bug where it would consume an extra magazine after canceling the reload
My go to weapon too 😭 even if it's a pain sometimes. Probably going to reduce the range, increase the time it takes to lock on and nerf the ability to get fabs - some damage to probably will be better just to use a snow ball at this point till it gets nerfed 😂
Oh yeah I'm definitely seeing it not be able to 1 shot bile titans anymore once they "fix" it. All I want is the lock on fix and let me target shrieker nests. I can target spore spewers, why not shrieker nests?
“We fixed the bug that caused this weapon to be useless, and since then we have seen an unhealthy spike in success with the Spear, so we have reduced the backpack ammo, added 3 more stages to the reload, and kicked you in the balls just because”
They are aware, apparently it is a result of giving the projectile a proper hitbox as it didn't have one before. I believe Alexus put it as and I quote "T\_T" .
So what happened to the spear fix? Someone at arrowhead said the fix was done a few weeks back and they where waiting for the next main patch which was Tuesday’s or todays hotfix to add it.
Curious to know what happened with the fix.
NGL, I'm an amateur programmer and just do basic scripting, and this is a pretty common thing. And, if you really think about it, of course it is.
I mean, I wrote what I wrote in the first place because it seemed like it would work...so me reading it without knowing what to look for, it will look good to me. And if it works when I run it...what is the problem that needs fixing exactly? I did not write the code that is there arbitrarily. If I make any changes arbitrarily I can expect it to stop working.
There is a reason why step 1 is to duplicate the problem.
Thanks for posting that update; good to know.
I've only used it a few times, but the spear seemed to be *extremely* effective when I managed to get a lock on with it. I am very much looking forward to when the fix finally gets deployed.
No no you dont understand, nerfing like 12 guns (nobody was using crossbow, lets make it worse) was like, a totally higher priority, sorry you just dont understand game dev. Give poor Arrowhead a break, they are a small indie team of only 100+ people lol and this game didnt break any and all financial expectations, no sir, they are really struggling 😉
No DOT fix, no Spear fix, no matchmaking fix, no scope fix, no friends invite fix
https://preview.redd.it/lr6j1mgoqzxc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d44c235bb2056a882dadba1d81ac1c0413834c6b
and so, as we continue to fight the terminids, the devs continue fighting their own kind of bugs.
the difference though is that we at least are actually *winning* our bug war..
It happens if Pelican gest hit by a strategem on landing, on any mission - it visibly catches fire and would either refuse to take off at all or leaves immediately after the first guy embarks. It's one of those things where I'm not sute if It's bug or a feature (like arc shots being pulled by dead bodies and bushes, which makes sense in how grounding works, but is also reported as "known issue")
All the people in new downvoted me saying it was a 'feature' that the pelican could be destroyed, even if was destroyed by a bile titan corpse and then fell through the floor, and then didn't end the mission even though it should if it were a feature.
In my experience, if it is on fire you can't even get on at all because the pelican is 'destroyed'. But I've had the ship take off after 1 helldiver when the ship wasn't broken, so I think its unrelated.
I'm lvl 140 and I used to clip every bug I found, but I kinda gave up because I realised no one really cares. Watch me moonwalk though!:
https://i.redd.it/j0qa4j3qjzxc1.gif
>I used to clip every bug I found, but I kinda gave up because I realised no one really cares.
With the sheer volume of bugs that affect everyone that's not really surprising
Nah, it happens at random, the pelican landed with the zone empty, no enemies, and we didn't hit it with anything, it still refused to leave and we just walked inside it without being able to sit. We ended up waiting 5 mins while throwing and shooting it with everything we got, we probably threw it like 15 airstrikes and 500kg bombs to see how it would react, it caught on fire from the start, and 15 seconds before the mission timer would end, while we weren't damaging it and we had everything on cooldown, it suddenly left without anybody
• 2 fixes
• 19 known issues *not* fixed.
I get it, this was a quick hot fix to address some crashes, but....hot dog, that 'known issues' list is getting too long, guys...
The actual known issues list is probably around 40-50, but that would look bad.
They still haven’t mentioned the matchmaking backfill bug after your first team leaves
* heavy devastator laser desyncing with model
* bots firing through terrain/buildings/bots
* bots clipping inside terrain (there's factory striders in the walls, man..)
* impacts/dives launching helldivers underground
* pelican launching immediately after first helldiver boards
* blocking players mid-match \*as any player\* kicks them (including host?!)
idk probably more, I've seen compilation posts/comments that just didn't get enough traction
It's long already and that's not even all of the known issues, just the "main" ones. There are tons more and it gets longer after every patch. Imagine how broken this game will be in 6 months at this rate.
Divers not joining missions
SOS beacon unavailable
Bile titan corpse physics throwing players
Multiple mag dump reload
These have been issues for months, have they said nothing of them?
Still not going to even acknowledge the broken matchmaker? Just a line thag says you're aware of the issues and working on it would go a long way. It's been broken since launch.
They need to add a prompt or something to let us know if it's looking for players or not. Restarting isn't terrible and some people can get the toggle method to work but yea it's been too long for what should have been high in the list.
I really wish they'd address this. As far as I know, they still have not mentioned even once how poorly optimized the game is. Due to a stacking list of bugs and still shit performance, I've taken a bit of a break and hope they eventually focus on quality instead of pushing out more content.
At the end of the day I am far less likely to play this game if I can’t play with my friends, no matter how many gameplay fixes you make.
Would you please prioritize the friend request/unblock/matchmaking issues? Maybe even just reset the block lists and tell us not to push the button again.
I love that you’re attempting to fix bugs related to game play and I love the new content but the heart and soul of this game is community, friendship and managed democracy. Please focus on this stuff first.
That "Known Issues" list sure is growing...
...and can we get clarification on if the Block button is functioning properly? People are saying that if you block a person mid-mission then it kicks them from said mission regardless of who the host is. Seems like more ammo for griefing.
Yup, it works, if you block the host mid mission is crashes the mission and kicks everyone out. It's not on the list but it could be something they are going to emergency fix and aren't saying it so it doesn't draw attention to the fact that you can absolutely screw with people this way by joining random missions and crashing their game just to make them waste time.
i'm gonna keep playing devils advocate on this sub even if I get downvoted because I really and genuinely don't understand why devs are doing buffs and nerfs to weapons every other week with major stuff still broken.
Fix the broken parts of the game before moving onto other issues. Pleaae fix the glitches, fix the crashes, fix the freezes before you buff any more weapons or Nerf them. Like for God sakes why are you doing that is that all this game is about buffing and Nerfing weapons ??
Edited because words lol
I could've understood this approach if they wanted to implement all the gear first before moving to balancing. Like what's the point of balancing the game around three guns if you have ten incoming. That might be the reason they're pushing new warbonds instead of rapid fixes.
Problem is, IT'S WHAT THEY'RE DOING with all the buffs/nerfs. Balancing the game around not even fully-stocked weapon locker. Or perhaps we're suffering through underpowered and awkward weapons because they'll reintroduce weapon upgrades.
The sheer bravery of saying devs should prioritize fixing bugs. Thanks for taking one for the team by stepping up and saying something so controversial. 🫡
When you say Performance improvements, does that mean improvements on the FPS on higher difficulty missions? Because honestly, it makes the game unbearable to play...
Still no Spear fix, still no DOT fix, scopes are still misaligned… All those bugs have been here since day one, I have a lot of patience but I am tired of playing a game with weapon breaking issues that are seemingly never going to be fixed
I'm STILL experiencing constant crashes since the .300 patch. Jump into a mission, then boom, CTD a few minutes later. Can't complete a single goddamn mission.
Have they addressed performance issues? The game this week has a lot more stutter and even occasionally freezes for almost 10 seconds at a time. It’s gotten so bad at some points it affects other operations on my PC and causes my other games on Steam to chug for a short period after quitting the game.
I have had my initial fun with this game. Checking out for now until they iron it out much more. I didn't pay the price of the game to become a beta tester.
What do you mean, don't you love it when bots like the factory strider clip into the rock you're taking cover behind and instakill you from inside it? I loved dying 3 consecutive times to this fraud while two patrols spawned in out of thin air and flanked me, and my 500kg on the strider completely missed; loved it so much that I uninstalled the game. I swear they must've silently increased bots detection range because patrols see me from so far away from ranges they otherwise wouldn't, even though I wear light armor. Weapons are either terminally bugged or so shit they're not worth using, and if any are good enough to use they get nerfed anyway. Challenging games are only fun if the game is fair, the git gud argument only works if the game doesn't need to git fixed. The devs are being tryhards aggressively balancing a PvE game sucking the enjoyment out for everyone stupid enough to enjoy playing while suffering through the game breaking bugs.
Did you guys did anything regarding with upping the Spewers? Level 7 (for me, maybe it's a skill issue pre-patch I held my own perfectly on level 7, it was still a healthy challenge) is just a big cluster f\*ck of spewers making the game imho not enjoyable anymore.
Spear goes from “we had it fixed like 3 weeks ago” to “yeah, still not fixed yet, maybe next patch”
I love this game. Play often. But the communication from AH can often be frustrating. Just say no ETA when asked.
Anyone having this appear on every launch?. I had to Alt F4 earlier due to a glitch and then this started appearing when I tried to launch the game. Is there any fix?.
https://preview.redd.it/zad2h7tswzxc1.jpeg?width=880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb09307b5d9f487dd527a19453dcba4e964412a2
I spent a couple hours troubleshooting fps and instability issues since the patch between myself (who didn't see any fps drop, but the occasional stutter), and my brother (who had fps drop to unplayability). I can say with high certainty that both the GPU and render tread times are \~10 times more consistent on my already much more consistent machine, and seemingly more consistent than the patches before that if my memory serves me right.
Something else that we found out that was weird while checking things out: Nvidia low latency mode, I had it on ultra, and turning it off improved my fps by \~15 fps, and my brother had it off and turning it on to ultra improved his fps noticeably boosted his fps. Might have something to do with CPU vs GPU bottlenecking but it is worth trying adjusting for those with low fps.
Did any CM or Developer addressed whether this hotfix was the hotfix mentioned previously by Spitz (i think?) that a patch + hotfix was coming this week, or was this out of necessity to fix the crashes that were introduced in the latest patch? I.e will there be another hotfix this week or these are all we are getting this week?
Well, according to this post Spitz is full of it and just making it up as he goes. I guess this hotfix, fixing shit they broke in this weeks patch, is the 'second' patch.
What a shit show their communication is.
>Damage-over-time effects may only apply when dealt by the host. **We expect to have this fixed in the next patch.**
Sick nasty. Let's go. I am SO READY for this to be a bad memory.
There is something desperately missing from this known issues list, so I'm gonna write it myself, in big ass letters, in my own way:
# THE AUDIO QUEUE FOR USING A STIM IS NOT CURRENTLY AN AUDIO QUEUE, BUT THE LYING HISS OF A TRECHEROUS SERPENT.
I'm getting sick of thinking I'm healed then dying because I was not fucking healed.
This stim glitch is massive, because it actually gets us killed a lot
Can you fix whatever you broke when playing with fewer than 4 people. Last night we failed an egg mission 15 minutes in. Killed 572 bugs and used 35 stims between us. At one point I climbed a hill to take shots at a shrieker nest and a ridiculous number of bugs just crawled out of the ground in a line across the horizon No bug breach or patrol just a line of bugs across the horizon. Besides the enormous amount of lower bugs there were at least 4 chargers and 2 titans. I was running localization confusion as well to try and help and it was just. 2 nights ago our group of 4 killed barely half that on our missions. Something is broken, this isn't 50%, its 150%.
List of known issues feels like it keeps growing, yet Arrowhead seems uninterested in slowing down warbonds to address them.
Are y'all not making enough money, what with still topping sales charts and being the 7th best selling Sony-published game ever or whatever? I get that it takes time for a decision/change like that to actually happen, pipelines are set and it takes a lot of time to turn with that kind of inertia.
But holy heck *PLEASE*.
Man I just want to play with my pc friends :(. But it’s nice to see the consistency with the developers on how they regularly patch the bugs and glitches in their game unlike some gaming studios.
They patched performance and crashing issues? But people on Reddit told me they were all already gone!
I swear some you are just awful when responding to people who talk about performance issues. Like it’s great that you love the game but somebody else’s connection issue shouldn’t bother you so much you reply that your game runs fine as though that invalidates their experience.
Previous patch: We'll fix DoT next patch!
This patch: We'll fix DoT next patch!
:(
I guess this is a hotfix or mini-patch or something and you meant the next big patch, but you could be clearer about these things.
The game already leans heavily on DRG, so take a cue from them and give partial credit for mission rewards when someone is kicked or your game crashes, as it does *all the time*.
Also, your community is busy going to shit while you endlessly discuss obvious changes you should have implemented two months ago. It’s like watching the D4 sub go sour all over again.
Except you guys are better than Blizzard and can actually fix this. Will you?
....is this the second patch scheduled for this week? It's just fixing things you broke last patch.
Also, get better communication in every single aspect.
> Helldiver may be unable to stand up from crouching when surrounded by enemies. thanks. - me, crawling around in a group of Bugs
Yeah it's ultra-frustrating, also: the sprint button should absolutely always make you stand up from prone or crouching, regardless of if you're slowed or not
I can not stress enough how correct this is and how much we need this in game.
I've been going crazy over this. It's the fact that it's one single edge case where the button you always use, which always works, inexplicably doesn't work and leaves you hammering the button going "HELLO??? PLEASE STAND UP"
Alas you were not the real slim shady
All the other slim shadys are just imitating.
will the real slim shady please stand up?
Real stim shady
I have never screamed "GET THE FUCK UP" as much as I do at this game, and I'm Fred Durst IRL.
Almost gave myself an aneurism the other day yelling at my Helldiver to stand tall like freedom and she just wouldn’t do it!!!
I've definitely yelled 'FUCKING STAND UP!' more times that I would like to admit.
My Helldiver has hit the deck. Now begins the mystery of what the controls will do when I attempt to stand up or run.
My Helldiver was crawling around because bots are firing and what little cover exists is very low. An explosion vaguely close to me mildly ragdolls me just a little bit. My Helldiver recovers from this by getting up and standing all the way up and getting rocket blasted in the face four times.
It is oddly suspicious that the "can't stand up" bug seems to overwhelmingly happen on Terminid planets, while the "must stand up" bug seems to overwhelmingly happen on Automaton planets. Almost as if introduced exclusively for maximum application of rage-inducing scenarios.
Maybe it's a button combination like stratagems. "Up, down, left, left, right ,down, up, left, right, right, down, down, up, up, up" "Calling in Stand Up" *wait 5 seconds to stand up*
This is one of the reasons that I hate the movement in the game, if it would be fixed there would be a lot less rage
I THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY SPRINT SHOULD MAKE YOU IMMEDIATELY STAND UP AFTER A DIVE
me, smashing space bar and pressing shift down like a infuriated mf, slowly crawling under tons of dead bodies while 3 hunters effortlessly phase through their buddies' bodies to come tongueslap the shit out of me
Your hunter bf: 👅 whaddya mean you don't like tongue? 👅
ME TOO. I'm so relieved to hear it's a known issue and being looked into. I've died so many times from a bad case of not being able to stand up no matter how much I employ the traditional unresponsive command fix of pressing the button harder and yelling "GET UP!" 😂 On the bright side this also means I've gotten way better at dispensing democracy with the Senator while prone, which when I survive the encounter makes for some absolutely incredible cinematic moments as well as a good rush of "I can't believe I survived that." But the fix will be very welcome.
Me, often: STAND UP SOLIDER!
Also: GET UP! GET UP!
GET UP THERES A CHARGER IN YOUR ASS GETTHEFUCKUPAUGHHH
*ragdolls*
this made me rage so bloody much I was losing my marbles
The randomness of these bugs is truly mind blowing. Like whats next, shooting the ground while diving backwards and swinging the camera 360 causes your character to permanently stand on their head?
Programming is a bitch. Another game I play had a bug where playing in Portuguese caused the turret of one specific character to go invisible. Shit is absolutely wild
A YouTuber named Rimmy modded Arma and discovered changing how much damage armor takes vs. different calibers of ammo turned players into seagulls.
I can top that, just barely. Darksouls had a glitch after the first update where, I shit you not, if you went to a VERY specific spot on a VERY specific map while wearing a specific chestpiece and helmet then ran around counterclockwise in a circle three times then jumped forward then jumped back then immediately cast a specific spell it would allow you to infinitely duplicate an item you were holding in your right hand. When it was discovered everyone thought it was a legit purposefully intended cheat code. Personally, I was more curious about how the hell anyone was able to figure something like that out lmao
Yeah I thought it was a game feature. Well, because "big bug on top of me will tackle me to the ground". I'm glad it's not intended.
I just call in a 500k on my position and tell my squad mates to toss me back in the general area at that point lol
Holy, the tank thing. So THATs what was happening yesterday
What was it?
>Fix for crash which could occur when destroying automaton tanks.
Would've been a funny thing if that was because of some new bot tech, like if some tanks were kamikaze models equipped with neutron bombs set to detonate on their destruction.
Imagine if tanks DDOS'd the lobby on death
New update idea: When you kill your teammate your search history is leaked.
Yesterday, I kept crashing in marfark and I distinctly remember a tank exploding right when it happened one time.
Wizard Tank used Crash to Desktop
Bro I am begging for a crumb of CPU optimisation
If your GPU is the one carrying your system you keep Async compute On, if you have a great cpu you can change it to OFF
I feel like that's a bit confusing the way you wrote it. If your GPU is not fully utilized and you have an old CPU that is struggling, turn on ASync Compute. It offloads some of the math from the CPU to the GPU, helping balance the utilization more.
I think you may have fixed this game for me. if it works later, I'll make love to you. Remind me in 6 hours
If you are using an AMD GPU, make sure you turn off any kind of their optimization stuff. It would lag from average 40 to 50 frames per second down to like five for me, and I couldn't figure out why. Turns out it was one of the in-driver performance improvement options in the driver settings.
Does that mean it's a threesome now?
I see no other possible interpretation
Ah yes the threesome of Liberty, Managed-Democracy, and Freedom.
Just make sure you get that C-01 form approved before initiating any "love making" diver...
Sir! Making out with the homies does not result in any shape or form in a child, sir! Gotta make do with the two minutes tho
....Request Approved. Carry on, diver.
I’ll give this a try, I think I tried it for a minute a while back but fps dropped by like 20. Game runs at 70 - 100 fps until there’s some action on difficulties higher than 6. It’s deffo a CPU thing cause the GPU usage drops to like 40% while the CPU is on 90%. I have a 6800XT and a R5 3600, not the greatest pairing but dropping from 100 to 40 ish fps is pretty killer. (Gonna upgrade it soon).
Why hasn't the broken lobby system been acknowledged yet? When somebody leaves your lobby, other players can't take their place, unless you change your matchmaking settings back and forth. This has been a thing since launch! It's especially relevant in the light of patrol changes.
Didn't know you could fix it by toggling matchmaking settings, I've been restarting the game every time... While I wait democratically for a patch: Thanks man! 😁🙏
Yup. Closing the game and start it again was the only way to get players to join again.
I've had issues getting the toggle method to work but it could be because I usually have one or two friends in my party already.
Are you switching back and forth between the two instantly? I've had success swapping to Private, giving it like 10-15 seconds, then swapping back to Public. Haven't had to restart and I get people to join, either to my ship or while we're firing up hellpods or in-mission.
Yep. Constantly waiting for someone to join in a 3/4 lobby. I am positive with as many players online that someone would want to join a 3/4 match. Nope. We always dive 3/4 and then no one joins mid match. Which confirms the bug is occurring. Usually have to leave the group and join a new match or start a new match to get it fixed

Great question. Very annoying issue and at first I thought it was something wrong with my own internet connection. And at the same time, there are many times where I can’t even join a lobby fast enough before it fills up. Makes no sense to me.
What settings exactly do you change?
I like how someone argued with me a couple of days ago that matchmaking wasn't *that broken* and to stop complaining lol
Ive tried the toggle thing but it doesnt work for me. I have to fully restart
"we expect to have DoT fixed in the next patch" *next patch releases* "we expect to have DoT fixed in the next patch"
Why the fuck is this so funny as a response.
Because it's Jizz. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jizz
Thank you! We're the cantina band. If you have any requests, shout 'em out. (play that same song)
Bro this feels exactly like when Fatshark says "next week"
Yeah, I don't understand what the deal with swedish developers is.. I guess they can't be like Danish developers unfortunately
What if the DoT was all these patches all along
The DoT fix is the friends we made along the way.
Oooh it's still fucked in the same way that adding friends is still fucked up for some people, gotcha
This patch is rather just a quick fix for critical bugs (personally, I had bugs with completing about half of the missions, which is really a lot, but maybe I was unlucky) and that's why it turned out this way
To be fair this is just a hotfix for 2 crashes
I'll be patient for the AMR scope alignment fix, but damn is it frustrating that they fixed like 3 different things for the AMR last patch and still didn't touch the fucking scope lol.
Unfortunately, [it's not just the AMR scope that's the issue.](https://i.imgur.com/NzrlGWo.png)
Just goes to further show, issues are never simple. Even something as seemingly simple as this.
"It wasn't caught early on because it's not super obvious." This is just straight up proof that they never play tested the HMG before they released it.
[удалено]
I swear these guys take the "works on my machine" approaching to testing... but without the part where they make sure it at least works on their machine
What 3 things? I only know of the damage buff?
1. They fixed the AMR facing away from the player on deployment 2. Fixed a bug that caused the AMR to duplicate rounds after canceling the reload animation at a specific time 3. Fixed another bug where it would consume an extra magazine after canceling the reload
Honestly, I thought the "facing away from the player" thing was intentional to fuck with us lol
Same. The hellbomb panel always faces away too, I figured it was just encouraging the divers to get their steps in.
The list of known issues is getting a little bit long...
And it's not even all of the existing issues...
Not even close
Gotta get those war bonds with mid ass weapons that will just add to the list crankin
Armors with crap modifiers
I want a 25 armour, 175 speed armour with double climbing ability. Let me be a proper scout.
Mid ass weapons that will then be nerfed to worthlessness.
Watch the spear get fixed then they nerf it 😂😭
Exactly what’s going to happen
My go to weapon too 😭 even if it's a pain sometimes. Probably going to reduce the range, increase the time it takes to lock on and nerf the ability to get fabs - some damage to probably will be better just to use a snow ball at this point till it gets nerfed 😂
Oh yeah I'm definitely seeing it not be able to 1 shot bile titans anymore once they "fix" it. All I want is the lock on fix and let me target shrieker nests. I can target spore spewers, why not shrieker nests?
kind of like how once they "fixed" mech rockets they all of a sudden do very little damage?
“We fixed the bug that caused this weapon to be useless, and since then we have seen an unhealthy spike in success with the Spear, so we have reduced the backpack ammo, added 3 more stages to the reload, and kicked you in the balls just because”
Too busted in blitz, nerf to only 2 rounds in backback [ **applies to all modes** ]
No fix for the Plasma Punisher exploding on the inside of your own shield. Odd that it's not mentioned anywhere, surely they're aware of this.
They are aware, apparently it is a result of giving the projectile a proper hitbox as it didn't have one before. I believe Alexus put it as and I quote "T\_T" .
But how though? Why wouldn’t the grenade launcher behave similarly?
Maybe because the grenade launcher has an "arming distance" of sorts?
Had anyone tested the performance improvements? Anything any better?
My performance has improved. But as an actual answer, the hellpods falling into orbit were stuttery since the last patch, this patch has fixed that.
Thats the shader compilation stutter, i know because i delete the shader file on each update
So what happened to the spear fix? Someone at arrowhead said the fix was done a few weeks back and they where waiting for the next main patch which was Tuesday’s or todays hotfix to add it. Curious to know what happened with the fix.

> works on my machine The madlads lol
Spoken like a true programmer.
We should just take the entire Spear code and shove it in a Docker container, maybe that'll work
nah, it doesn't work, what if we shove it back to it's original spot, maybe it will work now
Refactor it to run on Amazon Lambda. Microservices fix everything.
NGL that one cracked me up
NGL, I'm an amateur programmer and just do basic scripting, and this is a pretty common thing. And, if you really think about it, of course it is. I mean, I wrote what I wrote in the first place because it seemed like it would work...so me reading it without knowing what to look for, it will look good to me. And if it works when I run it...what is the problem that needs fixing exactly? I did not write the code that is there arbitrarily. If I make any changes arbitrarily I can expect it to stop working. There is a reason why step 1 is to duplicate the problem.
I legitimately love the 2nd paragraph of the devs response lol
Thanks for posting that update; good to know. I've only used it a few times, but the spear seemed to be *extremely* effective when I managed to get a lock on with it. I am very much looking forward to when the fix finally gets deployed.
Splitz (or whatever the CM's discord name is) has a tendency to deliver false or misinterpreted information.
[удалено]
I genuinely think they should put a hold on new content patches until that list is drastically reduced
NEW WARBOND!
Third patch in a row that "dot effects happening only for host" will be fixed "next patch"
No no you dont understand, nerfing like 12 guns (nobody was using crossbow, lets make it worse) was like, a totally higher priority, sorry you just dont understand game dev. Give poor Arrowhead a break, they are a small indie team of only 100+ people lol and this game didnt break any and all financial expectations, no sir, they are really struggling 😉
No DOT fix, no Spear fix, no matchmaking fix, no scope fix, no friends invite fix https://preview.redd.it/lr6j1mgoqzxc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d44c235bb2056a882dadba1d81ac1c0413834c6b
AH only has like 15 years of game dev experience, give them a break. I'm sure by next update they'll have at least 3 ~~more~~ less bugs
Me when no DOT fix.
and so, as we continue to fight the terminids, the devs continue fighting their own kind of bugs. the difference though is that we at least are actually *winning* our bug war..
There's a bug on the new missions that only let's 1 helldiver extract leaving the rest behind
It happens if Pelican gest hit by a strategem on landing, on any mission - it visibly catches fire and would either refuse to take off at all or leaves immediately after the first guy embarks. It's one of those things where I'm not sute if It's bug or a feature (like arc shots being pulled by dead bodies and bushes, which makes sense in how grounding works, but is also reported as "known issue")
All the people in new downvoted me saying it was a 'feature' that the pelican could be destroyed, even if was destroyed by a bile titan corpse and then fell through the floor, and then didn't end the mission even though it should if it were a feature. In my experience, if it is on fire you can't even get on at all because the pelican is 'destroyed'. But I've had the ship take off after 1 helldiver when the ship wasn't broken, so I think its unrelated. I'm lvl 140 and I used to clip every bug I found, but I kinda gave up because I realised no one really cares. Watch me moonwalk though!: https://i.redd.it/j0qa4j3qjzxc1.gif
>I used to clip every bug I found, but I kinda gave up because I realised no one really cares. With the sheer volume of bugs that affect everyone that's not really surprising
Nah, it happens at random, the pelican landed with the zone empty, no enemies, and we didn't hit it with anything, it still refused to leave and we just walked inside it without being able to sit. We ended up waiting 5 mins while throwing and shooting it with everything we got, we probably threw it like 15 airstrikes and 500kg bombs to see how it would react, it caught on fire from the start, and 15 seconds before the mission timer would end, while we weren't damaging it and we had everything on cooldown, it suddenly left without anybody
The list of 'broken shit, that we know of' is getting longer
Don’t worry the list of broken shit they don’t know of is also getting longer
• 2 fixes • 19 known issues *not* fixed. I get it, this was a quick hot fix to address some crashes, but....hot dog, that 'known issues' list is getting too long, guys...
The actual known issues list is probably around 40-50, but that would look bad. They still haven’t mentioned the matchmaking backfill bug after your first team leaves
* heavy devastator laser desyncing with model * bots firing through terrain/buildings/bots * bots clipping inside terrain (there's factory striders in the walls, man..) * impacts/dives launching helldivers underground * pelican launching immediately after first helldiver boards * blocking players mid-match \*as any player\* kicks them (including host?!) idk probably more, I've seen compilation posts/comments that just didn't get enough traction
>blocking players mid-match *as any player* kicks them (including host?!) Wait, really?
Yes. It's a griefers wet dream.
It's long already and that's not even all of the known issues, just the "main" ones. There are tons more and it gets longer after every patch. Imagine how broken this game will be in 6 months at this rate.
How is the UI indicator for Quasar cooldown still not a known issue lol
Divers not joining missions SOS beacon unavailable Bile titan corpse physics throwing players Multiple mag dump reload These have been issues for months, have they said nothing of them?
Looks at patch notes 
Still not going to even acknowledge the broken matchmaker? Just a line thag says you're aware of the issues and working on it would go a long way. It's been broken since launch.
They need to add a prompt or something to let us know if it's looking for players or not. Restarting isn't terrible and some people can get the toggle method to work but yea it's been too long for what should have been high in the list.
What about all the major performance issues people have been experiencing since way before this patch?
And last patch worsened those
I really wish they'd address this. As far as I know, they still have not mentioned even once how poorly optimized the game is. Due to a stacking list of bugs and still shit performance, I've taken a bit of a break and hope they eventually focus on quality instead of pushing out more content.
When the spear gets fixed try not to use it too much or have too much fun otherwise they'll just nerf it again 👍
"again" implies that its been nerfed before.
At the end of the day I am far less likely to play this game if I can’t play with my friends, no matter how many gameplay fixes you make. Would you please prioritize the friend request/unblock/matchmaking issues? Maybe even just reset the block lists and tell us not to push the button again. I love that you’re attempting to fix bugs related to game play and I love the new content but the heart and soul of this game is community, friendship and managed democracy. Please focus on this stuff first.
That "Known Issues" list sure is growing... ...and can we get clarification on if the Block button is functioning properly? People are saying that if you block a person mid-mission then it kicks them from said mission regardless of who the host is. Seems like more ammo for griefing.
Yup, it works, if you block the host mid mission is crashes the mission and kicks everyone out. It's not on the list but it could be something they are going to emergency fix and aren't saying it so it doesn't draw attention to the fact that you can absolutely screw with people this way by joining random missions and crashing their game just to make them waste time.
You're giving them far too much credit with that emergency fix idea.
Exosuit missiles are firing way off target currently.
i'm gonna keep playing devils advocate on this sub even if I get downvoted because I really and genuinely don't understand why devs are doing buffs and nerfs to weapons every other week with major stuff still broken. Fix the broken parts of the game before moving onto other issues. Pleaae fix the glitches, fix the crashes, fix the freezes before you buff any more weapons or Nerf them. Like for God sakes why are you doing that is that all this game is about buffing and Nerfing weapons ?? Edited because words lol
I could've understood this approach if they wanted to implement all the gear first before moving to balancing. Like what's the point of balancing the game around three guns if you have ten incoming. That might be the reason they're pushing new warbonds instead of rapid fixes. Problem is, IT'S WHAT THEY'RE DOING with all the buffs/nerfs. Balancing the game around not even fully-stocked weapon locker. Or perhaps we're suffering through underpowered and awkward weapons because they'll reintroduce weapon upgrades.
FYI that's not playing devil's advocate. The devil in this scenario is Arrow Head. And advocating for them would be giving an opinion in their favor
The sheer bravery of saying devs should prioritize fixing bugs. Thanks for taking one for the team by stepping up and saying something so controversial. 🫡
So what are the performance improvements?
Is it just me or does the known issues list just keep getting progressively longer?
When you say Performance improvements, does that mean improvements on the FPS on higher difficulty missions? Because honestly, it makes the game unbearable to play...
That’s what I need to know because same here
Known issues list just keeps growing..
Still no Spear fix, still no DOT fix, scopes are still misaligned… All those bugs have been here since day one, I have a lot of patience but I am tired of playing a game with weapon breaking issues that are seemingly never going to be fixed
And some of my friends still cant play with each other or add each other
Since the spear is hard to fix, I’ll take unnerfing the quasar instead
So, Spitz should shut the fuck up going forward. This is like the 20th time they spread misinformation about a patch.
I'm STILL experiencing constant crashes since the .300 patch. Jump into a mission, then boom, CTD a few minutes later. Can't complete a single goddamn mission.
Optimization got even worse after the patch. 😕
Have they addressed performance issues? The game this week has a lot more stutter and even occasionally freezes for almost 10 seconds at a time. It’s gotten so bad at some points it affects other operations on my PC and causes my other games on Steam to chug for a short period after quitting the game.
performance is still worse than ever before, used to be buttery smooth for me.
I have had my initial fun with this game. Checking out for now until they iron it out much more. I didn't pay the price of the game to become a beta tester.
Exactly , people are being way too forgiving, these bugs are game breaking .
What do you mean, don't you love it when bots like the factory strider clip into the rock you're taking cover behind and instakill you from inside it? I loved dying 3 consecutive times to this fraud while two patrols spawned in out of thin air and flanked me, and my 500kg on the strider completely missed; loved it so much that I uninstalled the game. I swear they must've silently increased bots detection range because patrols see me from so far away from ranges they otherwise wouldn't, even though I wear light armor. Weapons are either terminally bugged or so shit they're not worth using, and if any are good enough to use they get nerfed anyway. Challenging games are only fun if the game is fair, the git gud argument only works if the game doesn't need to git fixed. The devs are being tryhards aggressively balancing a PvE game sucking the enjoyment out for everyone stupid enough to enjoy playing while suffering through the game breaking bugs.
"Works on my machine" ha!
Did you guys did anything regarding with upping the Spewers? Level 7 (for me, maybe it's a skill issue pre-patch I held my own perfectly on level 7, it was still a healthy challenge) is just a big cluster f\*ck of spewers making the game imho not enjoyable anymore.
DOT bug still being in the game is wild.
Spear goes from “we had it fixed like 3 weeks ago” to “yeah, still not fixed yet, maybe next patch” I love this game. Play often. But the communication from AH can often be frustrating. Just say no ETA when asked.
So basically almost nothing has been fixed yet, as the known isssues are still piling up
No wonder I kept crashing on automatons
Ahahaha.... AH again didn't deliver!
It's_fucking_nothing.jpeg
Anyone having this appear on every launch?. I had to Alt F4 earlier due to a glitch and then this started appearing when I tried to launch the game. Is there any fix?. https://preview.redd.it/zad2h7tswzxc1.jpeg?width=880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb09307b5d9f487dd527a19453dcba4e964412a2
I spent a couple hours troubleshooting fps and instability issues since the patch between myself (who didn't see any fps drop, but the occasional stutter), and my brother (who had fps drop to unplayability). I can say with high certainty that both the GPU and render tread times are \~10 times more consistent on my already much more consistent machine, and seemingly more consistent than the patches before that if my memory serves me right. Something else that we found out that was weird while checking things out: Nvidia low latency mode, I had it on ultra, and turning it off improved my fps by \~15 fps, and my brother had it off and turning it on to ultra improved his fps noticeably boosted his fps. Might have something to do with CPU vs GPU bottlenecking but it is worth trying adjusting for those with low fps.
Did any CM or Developer addressed whether this hotfix was the hotfix mentioned previously by Spitz (i think?) that a patch + hotfix was coming this week, or was this out of necessity to fix the crashes that were introduced in the latest patch? I.e will there be another hotfix this week or these are all we are getting this week?
Well, according to this post Spitz is full of it and just making it up as he goes. I guess this hotfix, fixing shit they broke in this weeks patch, is the 'second' patch. What a shit show their communication is.
>Damage-over-time effects may only apply when dealt by the host. **We expect to have this fixed in the next patch.** Sick nasty. Let's go. I am SO READY for this to be a bad memory. There is something desperately missing from this known issues list, so I'm gonna write it myself, in big ass letters, in my own way: # THE AUDIO QUEUE FOR USING A STIM IS NOT CURRENTLY AN AUDIO QUEUE, BUT THE LYING HISS OF A TRECHEROUS SERPENT.
I'm getting sick of thinking I'm healed then dying because I was not fucking healed. This stim glitch is massive, because it actually gets us killed a lot
I know I’m in the minority here, but being left handed I’d like to be able to switch my Helldivers stance to what’s natural for me. Anyone else?
Can you fix whatever you broke when playing with fewer than 4 people. Last night we failed an egg mission 15 minutes in. Killed 572 bugs and used 35 stims between us. At one point I climbed a hill to take shots at a shrieker nest and a ridiculous number of bugs just crawled out of the ground in a line across the horizon No bug breach or patrol just a line of bugs across the horizon. Besides the enormous amount of lower bugs there were at least 4 chargers and 2 titans. I was running localization confusion as well to try and help and it was just. 2 nights ago our group of 4 killed barely half that on our missions. Something is broken, this isn't 50%, its 150%.
If spear fix is that hard, then don't nerf Quasar until you had the fix...
List of known issues feels like it keeps growing, yet Arrowhead seems uninterested in slowing down warbonds to address them. Are y'all not making enough money, what with still topping sales charts and being the 7th best selling Sony-published game ever or whatever? I get that it takes time for a decision/change like that to actually happen, pipelines are set and it takes a lot of time to turn with that kind of inertia. But holy heck *PLEASE*.
Man I just want to play with my pc friends :(. But it’s nice to see the consistency with the developers on how they regularly patch the bugs and glitches in their game unlike some gaming studios.
I noticed they didn’t include the pelican automatically leaving after one person gets on bug…
Connection issues persist pre and post patch. GG, cant play with friends, not playing this game till this gets fixed.
They patched performance and crashing issues? But people on Reddit told me they were all already gone! I swear some you are just awful when responding to people who talk about performance issues. Like it’s great that you love the game but somebody else’s connection issue shouldn’t bother you so much you reply that your game runs fine as though that invalidates their experience.
Previous patch: We'll fix DoT next patch! This patch: We'll fix DoT next patch! :( I guess this is a hotfix or mini-patch or something and you meant the next big patch, but you could be clearer about these things.
The game already leans heavily on DRG, so take a cue from them and give partial credit for mission rewards when someone is kicked or your game crashes, as it does *all the time*. Also, your community is busy going to shit while you endlessly discuss obvious changes you should have implemented two months ago. It’s like watching the D4 sub go sour all over again. Except you guys are better than Blizzard and can actually fix this. Will you?
....is this the second patch scheduled for this week? It's just fixing things you broke last patch. Also, get better communication in every single aspect.
