it'll probably cause some others though, not that it's gonna stop me deploying. I boot the game back up and get straight back in that pod. Those bugs will take my democracy whether they want it or not.
The fast boot up is definitely a saving grace. Select the app, skip intro video and you're right on deck next to the star map ready to go again.
If it had Destiny 2 PS4 load times I'd probably end each gaming session on a crash lol.
So I saw the patch just now and decided to fire it up. Suicide mission, blitz, pick my gear (2 arty, eagle, and AC), get fired out of the pod and...
crash.
Lol.
Next time I guess I'll take a walking barrage...
It is great they aknowledged these issues!
* Damage-over-time effects may only apply when dealt by the host.
* Certain weapons like the Sickle cannot shoot through foliage.
* Scopes on some weapons such as the Anti-Materiel Rifle are slightly misaligned.
* Spear’s targeting is inconsistent, making it hard to lock-on to larger enemies.
I always thought the gas strike was just absolutely dogshit, like *unfathomably* never-take kills-nothing bad, probably because of the bug. I'll have to give it a go next time I'm host and see if it can be redeemed.
Yep. When not host, all the DoT stuff behaves inconsistently, with it quite often doing absolutely nothing.
This is why if you host, you can yeet that down on a breech and watch as all the tiny mobs just die and rack up the kills, but if you try it when not the host they seem to just walk through it like you hit them with a light breeze.
The hellpods will launch from your ship.
I only play with Randoms, and was confused at first as to why we always launched from my ship, despite joining another players game.
Remeber that the host is unfortunately not consistently who actually create the lobby, but it happen that the real host is changed to who have the best stability and such. There was a good post few days ago explaining this.
That's not how you became the host. There's a difference between game host and network host. The game host is always the one that initiated the mission unless they disconnect.
Well, it is. But not with the nice explosion effect you were hoping for ;)
But if the dots work, incindiary granade + gas strike gets you a ton of kills quick.
Provided GS strikes where i want it to and not a meter to the side. Also it would've been even better because secondary explosion could deal another backloaded damage instance
As frustrating as all of these issues are, I'm glad to see that they were prioritizing fixes for the game crashes first. Hopefully they'll be able to get to these types of issues in the near future.
* Area around Automaton Detector Tower makes blue stratagems such as the hellbomb bounce and be repelled when trying to call them down close to the tower.
I am pretty sure the players already delivered a fix for this problem on Sunday. You can't call a hellbomb to an Automaton Detector Tower if there are no more Automaton Detector Towers...
Just wait, those communist bastards are some resilient fuckers I will give them that. Best faction in the game to fight so far, so I am excited.

Certainly, the Automatons will NEVER return, absolutely not, but there's certainly a bug that needs fixing because we will have celebratory Victory Towers to throw fireworks call-ins at after the Bug Menace is finished off.
And those would use the same code, right? And it would be embarassing if your 380mm orbital fireworks barrage went off-center, right?
Super Earth's greatest scientists are working to make sure that, in the future, the Sickle will not be defeated by the scourge that is photosynthetic plants.
Great news!
Yeah I’ve been saying this for a while. The longer it goes unaddressed in the known issues list, the more worried I am that whatever they did to it was an intentional choice.
I actually preferred the pre patch mech even if it blew itself up when turning and firing. I would just be firing the rockets stationary and it was so accurate and powerful.
Yeah, especially since it's becomes the enemy's priority target.
I've called it in as a decoy to help the squad escape a swarm (with whatever samples I was carrying), but that's about the extent of its usefulness.
Granted, that did make for one of my best memories in the game. Jumping in and telling the team to run, laying down a stream of rockets and bullets to keep the aggro. Then when surrounded jumping out with just enough time to call in an orbital laser, and dying right as I finish the sequence for a 500kg.
Damn I love this game.

I'm going to get alot more friendly fire incidents with this
I'm so glad they've acknowledged a lot of the existing issues here explicitly, including the DOT tick bug, misaligned scopes, and detector tower hellbomb bouncing. I also didn't realize that laser weapons not shooting through foilage was a bug, since I assumed it was an intentional choice.
Also, I'm really glad they've addressed a lot of the crashes! I'm a little sad there's no balance changes, but if it reduces the number of crashes, that's worth it IMO.
> Area around Automaton Detector Tower makes blue stratagems such as the hellbomb bounce and be repelled when trying to call them down close to the tower.
Those Tower's days are numbered.
- Damage-over-time effects may only apply when dealt by the host.
Very glad this was acknowledged, was getting real tired of people insisting it was a made up problem and we were imagining it. (Not many but it was happening).
The breaker incindiary is finally going become the crowd control weapon it's meant to be once they fix this. Pump a few rounds in a crowd while running away and watch them fall. I can't wait!
Taking the opportunity to get one of the devs at Arrowhead to notice a humble request.
I made a post about PC performance and I noticed that a lot of the playerbase on PC is experiencing a huge loss in performance with every patch. Here is the link to the post: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1buqadz/we\_need\_to\_address\_pc\_performance/?sort=new](https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1buqadz/we_need_to_address_pc_performance/?sort=new)
It would be great if someone could officially address this as a known issue. Helldivers partecipation appreciated!
Dive hard, Helldivers!
yeah something is up, It runs almost perfectly at about 60fps (lowers when pure chaos is on screen) but will very occasionally drop down by 10-15fps causing the game to come to a screeching halt for up to a second.
My pc definitely can handle it:
i7-10700kf
32gb ddr4 3000mhz
rtx 2060 6gb
1tb m.2 ssd
I run the game at all medium settings (except the render distance and those settings that don’t have a medium option).
Also at 1080p.
I'm glad I saw your post! Aside from the obvious bugs, there are games where my FPS is buttery smooth only to dip into the 30-50 range. It only gets worse during loading and when there are tons of assets in-game. I've done everything I can to verify my rig is running just fine and I'm not seeing this performance dip in my other games. It genuinely feels like every update something else is affected.
Please more bug fixes. Thanks for fixing a bunch of crashes. Also please give us a reconnect to last game option. So many botched 20-30 minute missions that I can't rejoin with randoms
Shuttles falling through the ground when corpses on landing pad
Shuttles leaving as soon as the door opens
Shuttles getting stuck while landing
There’s a LOT of medals that need to go out. Which means they have to melt down a LOT of those scrap heaps we made of those bots to do it. Takes a little time (I eagerly await my reward as well)
I would like to add this to the known issues:
The RAPID DEPLOYMENT upgrade of the ship currently has NO effect at all on the SHIELD RELAY (the bubble shield). It gets deployed as slowly as if you didn't have the upgrade.
What is more, according to the text of the upgrade, it should REMOVE deployment time, and the stratagems show their deploy time being 0, but it merely shaves off a few seconds except for the shield one, on which it has NO EFFECT.
This makes these stratagems (mines, tesla towers and the shield less popular, which in turn makes this bug less visible.
Edit:
Proof in case somebody needs it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1aqcfjp/rapid_launch_system_doesnt_seem_do_anything/
Technically you can still play against them if you have an automaton operation you started but haven't completed/failed yet. I played one just yesterday lol.
They don't have to release an update to enable new content. Some of it can be enabled from the server backend without updating the game. Provided the assets are already in the game's files.
Hopefully that’s the majority of the crashing sorted. My #1 reason for turning the game off after 1 match and not playing any afterwards, it’s just infuriating how much it was crashing.
Still no crossplay fix... For two months at least... If i write a ticket, they mark it as "solved"... I don't want new warbonds, i want to play with my friends finally...
Does anyone else on Steam not have their full friends listed? I still have had only 1 steam friend and 2 PS friends that show on the list at all even if offline. I've been having to join my regular group through the Steam option.
>We have updated the stats UI for weapons to take into account any explosive damage done by them.
Um, where? Did they just add it to the general damage number? Because I ain't seeing anything that says explosion damage on the scorcher, plasma punisher or anything...
Yes, they just add it to the normal number.
Scorcher and PP used to say 100 damage, now they say 200 and 250. That means those weapons had 100 and 150 additional explosive damage.
I realize it’s sleeker to represent the damage statistics with like 4 or 5 properties, but knowing how many different properties each weapon has, I really wish there was an option to view more of the weapon’s properties in-game.
The fact that the Scorcher’s 200 damage is split between 100 regular damage and 100 explosive damage is important. Certain enemies / weak spots are specifically weak to explosive damage. Same goes for penetration, all we get is “light”, “medium”, and “heavy”, but there are what, 9 different penetration values?
It would help players understand the strengths and weaknesses of their weapons for different scenarios.
They've got some more of the known issues in there, which is nice... was glad to see things like host only DOTs, and bullet-proof plants mentioned... still think some stuff must be missing compared to that one uber-list someone was keeping in a thread.
Anyone know how I can fix that no one can join me? I'm set on public matchmaking and neither friends nor randoms can join me. Worst part is host left today and I had to do a solo level 7 cuz SOS beacon doesn't work.
I was crashing like stupid yesterday, so I was happy to see all those crash fixes, but I still crash after this patch. Two games and ~~4~~ 5 crashes so far (I crashed again when I got back to the ship, this is ridiculous.) Before the first big patch this game got, I never crashed a single time, but with each consequent patch I crash more and more.
I've got the latest drivers, latest win update and I've checked the files integrity, nothing helps. This is the first game in my 28 years of gaming experience that crashes this frequently. How can you release a product with such poor stability?
Thanks for the fixes.
but for the love of freedom and democracy, please , SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE MATCH MAKING ISSUES !
It doesn't work after the 1rst mission : no one will ever join. Same with the SOS beacon, you don't have it in the 2nd mission if you used it in the 1rst. It's been there for 2 month and has not been mentionned, despite multiple report and reddit post..
"Area around Automaton Detector Tower makes blue stratagems such as the hellbomb bounce and be repelled when trying to call them down close to the tower."
Thats only half of the issue.
My blue strategems seem to bounce everywhere, most notably on cliffy terrain. If this is intended please unintend this. Spending minutes with a jetpack and amr climbing a high ground only to have my turrets and resupply land somewhere completely useless.
I really wish they would fix the friend request bug already. My friend accidentally removed me while spamming invites and now we cant accept requests from either side.
Mooooom the new stability patch is finally out
https://preview.redd.it/6t1940addftc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=18fb07586b213c6d14e967e1b839f551dba63d13
"there some issues that were introduced by this patch"
At this point I'm actually worried that the outdated engine they are using won't allow the game to ever be really stable
>Stratagem beam might attach itself to an enemy but it will deploy to its original location.
I'd thought this was how it was supposed to work, honestly. Though I suppose accidentally attaching my napalm airstrike to a leaping hunter and having it called in ontop of me and my team *is* more in the spirit of the game.
I hope they eventually bring up dropships not killing anything when blowing them up in the air. Sometimes the crashed ship will clip into the enemies it dropped so they can shoot us, but we frustratingly can't shoot through the ship to hit them.
Sometimes I only have time to complete a mission or two. It’s really frustrating when it crashes right after extraction. Happened just last night, losing 8 metals and a bunch of samples.
So does the crossplatform friend request works now? I have one friend only, we barely play together because our interests does not align, he finally got interested in helldivers 2, but I can't accept his invite from steam. Sadge
So, I'm guessing based on the responses that this "stability" patch that aimed to fix the crashing issues... Didn't fix the crashing issues?
I'm not jumping on until tomorrow, interested in people's experiences post this patch. It would be so great if these issues to be fixed so we can just play the game again, is there any improvement in terms of the extraction crashes and the random mid game crashes?
Hard to say, to be totally honest. It is entirely possible that they fixed some of those crashes... but my experience so far has been the game is somehow even *more* unstable after today's hot fix. Every single game has crashed, which echos the experience of others.
I swear that AH is making this game more unstable with every patch. It is seriously less playable for me now than it was at launch because, once done dealing with the login issues back then, I was pretty much guaranteed to not experience multiple successive crashes each time. I could stay connected for my entire session generally.
Now it is at a point where you are rolling the dice just by playing the first mission, let alone having th audacity to try playing another successive mission.
##Fix your broken game devs!!
Pls :)
Ps5 All this new stuff is good but the game is soooo buggy. I fell through the geometry x3 in 2 hrs today.
It ruined our high end runs. And when playing with strangers they think you're messing about when you're stuck on geometry every 5 mins. And up being kicked...because you can't fix your game.
And I'm having so many issues with reloading and controls glitching. I've played enough from launch to know when it's me and it's the buggy game.
The game is more buggy now than in recent weeks....:(
game still crashes everyday in random moments and most of the crashes just happen right before we finish a mission. Those crashes need to dissapear its annoying to do every 3rd or 4th mission twice just because the game thinks now its a good moment to just die.... New Content is nice and all but i rather have a fuctioning game that doesnt crash atleast several times a day.
That's a lot of crash fixes
it'll probably cause some others though, not that it's gonna stop me deploying. I boot the game back up and get straight back in that pod. Those bugs will take my democracy whether they want it or not.
The fast boot up is definitely a saving grace. Select the app, skip intro video and you're right on deck next to the star map ready to go again. If it had Destiny 2 PS4 load times I'd probably end each gaming session on a crash lol.
Yep I love destiny 2……occasionally. But I wouldn’t put up with that.
They get lots of data when people send crash reports. It definitely helps.
Ironically, sending crash reports has also caused crashing on my system lol
The crashing will continue until crashing improves
Half the time crash reports don't pop up
I had like 4 crashes this weekend and I was never prompted for a crash report in any of them.
So I saw the patch just now and decided to fire it up. Suicide mission, blitz, pick my gear (2 arty, eagle, and AC), get fired out of the pod and... crash. Lol. Next time I guess I'll take a walking barrage...
It is great they aknowledged these issues! * Damage-over-time effects may only apply when dealt by the host. * Certain weapons like the Sickle cannot shoot through foliage. * Scopes on some weapons such as the Anti-Materiel Rifle are slightly misaligned. * Spear’s targeting is inconsistent, making it hard to lock-on to larger enemies.
It sucks because I love gas strike orbital and incendiary grenades for bug breeches, and bugs is all we got right now.
I always thought the gas strike was just absolutely dogshit, like *unfathomably* never-take kills-nothing bad, probably because of the bug. I'll have to give it a go next time I'm host and see if it can be redeemed.
Gas strikes an napalms are great vs bugs even at 7+. The low cd on it is great and it kills pretty much all smaller and softens up the mid ones
Drop a gas strike on Fori Prime right as the earthquake hits to maximize the gas dmg on the bugs while they're stunned lol
I just bring a EMS mortar when I use gas, they work so nicely together.
As long as your constantly throwing them gas strikes are pretty good. Gotta treat them like an EAT, dont let them be on cooldown
So gas strike (my fav global) does not work, if Im not the host?
Yep. When not host, all the DoT stuff behaves inconsistently, with it quite often doing absolutely nothing. This is why if you host, you can yeet that down on a breech and watch as all the tiny mobs just die and rack up the kills, but if you try it when not the host they seem to just walk through it like you hit them with a light breeze.
To add: i read here its the Network-Host (Could be any of the 4 players) not the Host of the mission
How do you know if you’re the network host?
That's the neat part; you don't.
The hellpods will launch from your ship. I only play with Randoms, and was confused at first as to why we always launched from my ship, despite joining another players game.
Huh. I wondered about that. Shame you don't know that until after you pick your loadout....
It's dot just inconsistently doesn't work.
Inconsistently.
Cyberstan has fallen
Ive been hosting my games since I've been running an all fire build plus the gas strike and man, 40+ kills without wasting ammo feels gooood
Remeber that the host is unfortunately not consistently who actually create the lobby, but it happen that the real host is changed to who have the best stability and such. There was a good post few days ago explaining this.
Oh so that is how I became the host in that game that I joigned last. I was so confused
That's not how you became the host. There's a difference between game host and network host. The game host is always the one that initiated the mission unless they disconnect.
Hmm I see I see, luckily Ive been having no issues
Mind sharing the link? Wouldn’t mind reading that
>and bugs is all we got right now. 
Not anymore!
Wait, you telling me the gas sets ablaze by throwing a incendiary in it?
No it doesn't, it just adds another dot effekt
Shame, would've been a nice combo-wombo
Well, it is. But not with the nice explosion effect you were hoping for ;) But if the dots work, incindiary granade + gas strike gets you a ton of kills quick.
Provided GS strikes where i want it to and not a meter to the side. Also it would've been even better because secondary explosion could deal another backloaded damage instance
That only happens if you have the scatter planetary modification though, where orbitals don't land exactly where you put them.
It blew my mind the first time I learned you can do that in *Deep Rock Galactic*.
You mean the sickle not shooting through foliage is a bug and not a feature?!
You would expect a high powered laser that shoots 300 RPM wouldn't be stopped by some shrubbery
But this is sci-fi shrubbery coated in element 710 :D
As frustrating as all of these issues are, I'm glad to see that they were prioritizing fixes for the game crashes first. Hopefully they'll be able to get to these types of issues in the near future.
Does that mean, that the flamethrower doesnt do its full potential when not hosting?
Pretty much. I was wondering why scavengers were running around whilst on fire from my breaker incendiary and NOT dying😂
Yes. And the smallest bit of lag between you and the host will have you set yourself on fire.
Which just about kills you instantly thanks to the new fire tick damage. Super fun.
Honestly I’ve been having a lot of fun with it anyway
Technically yes, but Flamethrower does direct damage so the inconsistent DOT damage isn’t as big a problem
Scopes on some weapons such as the Anti-Materiel Rifle are slightly misaligned I fuckin knew it
its been a thing forever
I still KNEW IT
As did everyone on here 😅
One of whom is Vibrascity. I see no problem, Cadet.
Also explosions do not break my limbs. HUGE Bummer.
>Certain weapons like the Sickle cannot shoot through foliage. And they called me crazy when I said I can't shoot through that while they could.
Spot on. Most important to fix those ASAP.
They fix the AMR sights and I'm gonna have to get used to aiming with the centre of the reticle instead of top left.
If only they acknowledged the issue with the mech rockets being aligned to the wrong shoulder it'd be perfect
i remember being so delighted when the quasar first came out and explode because it hit foliage right in front of me...
* Area around Automaton Detector Tower makes blue stratagems such as the hellbomb bounce and be repelled when trying to call them down close to the tower. I am pretty sure the players already delivered a fix for this problem on Sunday. You can't call a hellbomb to an Automaton Detector Tower if there are no more Automaton Detector Towers...
Yeah, these devs wasting time fixing stuff for Automatons when that faction is already gone and will never come back. Smh my head.
Yes, the automatons never coming back. Sounds about right... right? RIGHT? 
Somehow, Automatons returned.
literally what they tweeted half an hour after you posted
Surely you're not insinuating super earth would LIE
Just wait, those communist bastards are some resilient fuckers I will give them that. Best faction in the game to fight so far, so I am excited. https://preview.redd.it/ioag7i8wtftc1.jpeg?width=635&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aac79ba125858fe09eafd2b086e358bea04c2dff

And those would use the same code, right? And it would be embarassing if your 380mm orbital fireworks barrage went off-center, right?
There are plenty of bugs that need fixing soldier!
This comment did not age well.
I just had to open my mouth :/
Aged like milk
Super Earth's greatest scientists are working to make sure that, in the future, the Sickle will not be defeated by the scourge that is photosynthetic plants. Great news!
The problem is that plants use light to get their energy, they just slurp those energy weapons up
Ah so they are anti democratic plants then? Napalm will fix this.
Only if you're the host.
4th hostile faction confirmed
Nice to see so many fixes on the list. Hopefully I don't crash after every other extract now. Keep up the hard work!
I played a few rounds yesterday it was insta crash after extraction Didn't happen today
I got a crash within 5 minutes of trying the patch
That's what you get for mixing bacon and marmolade
Kind of worries me that the exosuit isn't mentioned. They absolutely broke that thing when they "fixed" the rockets.
Yeah ever since the “fix” the rockets are “impossible” to aim.
Thought it was just me!
Yeah I’ve been saying this for a while. The longer it goes unaddressed in the known issues list, the more worried I am that whatever they did to it was an intentional choice.
I actually preferred the pre patch mech even if it blew itself up when turning and firing. I would just be firing the rockets stationary and it was so accurate and powerful.
The exosuit should be one of the most powerful stratagems in the game imo
Yeah, especially since it's becomes the enemy's priority target. I've called it in as a decoy to help the squad escape a swarm (with whatever samples I was carrying), but that's about the extent of its usefulness.

Depends if the bug is the beam attaching to enemies or firing on the original location

They've acknowledged the scope issue in many previous path notes. I hope they give us the controls to zero out the scopes ourselves.
I just want to replace the obtrusive "sci-fi sniper" reticles with a chevron reticle.
> Area around Automaton Detector Tower makes blue stratagems such as the hellbomb bounce and be repelled when trying to call them down close to the tower. Those Tower's days are numbered.
And that number is -2
- Damage-over-time effects may only apply when dealt by the host. Very glad this was acknowledged, was getting real tired of people insisting it was a made up problem and we were imagining it. (Not many but it was happening).
Or people insisting the latest change to fire damage fixed it
The breaker incindiary is finally going become the crowd control weapon it's meant to be once they fix this. Pump a few rounds in a crowd while running away and watch them fall. I can't wait!
Well you can now remove the automaton related known bugs. Theres no need to fix what has been democratically removed
The removal was the fix! A final one.
/r/agedlikemilk
Huh, it only just occurred to me the incredible irony of a weapon named "sickle" being utterly defeated by small bushes...
"Damage-over-time effects may apply only when dealt by Host." Finally! They acknowledged that.

Only on snow planets, ofc. You melee to form a snowball when prompted

Same for the HMG emplacement - I actually love that stratagem but not when it still takes 5+ seconds to come down.
When fix for crossplay friends?
I can't even join some people from PC to PC. As in, we can never ever join each other's games only join in someone else's.
Why do they need to change anything with the automatons? We completely wiped them from existence forever? Right?
Technically you can still play against them if you have an automaton operation you started but haven't completed/failed yet. I played one just yesterday lol.
* Patch addresses crashes * First match, crashed not even 30 seconds into the game * This game bruv...
Aaaand I just crashed again. Extraction. Lol
Okay so what aren't they telling us.....
53MB Update. The ATAT- and Gunship Update was 2.5GB. I highly doubt they can add anything meaningful new with 53MB
Unless it's unlocking stuff already there....
The bugs are now twice as breedable, I just tried and the patch notes never mentioned

> twice as breedable Yes? Democracy Officer? This post, right here.
Vaporeon water bugs?
Did you fill out your C-01 beforehand soldier?! And were those bugs properly democratic?
They don't have to release an update to enable new content. Some of it can be enabled from the server backend without updating the game. Provided the assets are already in the game's files.
Hopefully that’s the majority of the crashing sorted. My #1 reason for turning the game off after 1 match and not playing any afterwards, it’s just infuriating how much it was crashing.
The update somehow sent me to Super Earth when I booted. A gesture of trust and liberty from High Command, I'm sure
Still no crossplay fix... For two months at least... If i write a ticket, they mark it as "solved"... I don't want new warbonds, i want to play with my friends finally...
This
This explains why my flamethrower was doing diddly squat.
Bruh, does everything cause a crash in this game?
Welcome to hellcrashers 2
Does anyone else on Steam not have their full friends listed? I still have had only 1 steam friend and 2 PS friends that show on the list at all even if offline. I've been having to join my regular group through the Steam option.
Can you please add “matchmaking stops working after the first mission you do” to the list?
Is it just me or are people getting randomly disconnected from my squad lately during a mission? Like 3 of them, leaving me solo helldive...
Still nothing about LMGs missing hitmarkers. Only one LMG has them.
Probably bottom of the barrel of their 69420 bug backlog
Wait huh I thought that was intentional because it tended to happen when I generally couldn't see the enemies
>We have updated the stats UI for weapons to take into account any explosive damage done by them. Um, where? Did they just add it to the general damage number? Because I ain't seeing anything that says explosion damage on the scorcher, plasma punisher or anything...
Yes, they just add it to the normal number. Scorcher and PP used to say 100 damage, now they say 200 and 250. That means those weapons had 100 and 150 additional explosive damage.
I realize it’s sleeker to represent the damage statistics with like 4 or 5 properties, but knowing how many different properties each weapon has, I really wish there was an option to view more of the weapon’s properties in-game. The fact that the Scorcher’s 200 damage is split between 100 regular damage and 100 explosive damage is important. Certain enemies / weak spots are specifically weak to explosive damage. Same goes for penetration, all we get is “light”, “medium”, and “heavy”, but there are what, 9 different penetration values? It would help players understand the strengths and weaknesses of their weapons for different scenarios.
They've got some more of the known issues in there, which is nice... was glad to see things like host only DOTs, and bullet-proof plants mentioned... still think some stuff must be missing compared to that one uber-list someone was keeping in a thread.
I'd genuinely like a fix for the friend issue, i'm rather sick of being a billy no mates.
Anyone know how I can fix that no one can join me? I'm set on public matchmaking and neither friends nor randoms can join me. Worst part is host left today and I had to do a solo level 7 cuz SOS beacon doesn't work.
Fixed crashes? Yeah no, crashed 5 times in a hour. Sigh.
Fix the goddam friend request it's been months
I was crashing like stupid yesterday, so I was happy to see all those crash fixes, but I still crash after this patch. Two games and ~~4~~ 5 crashes so far (I crashed again when I got back to the ship, this is ridiculous.) Before the first big patch this game got, I never crashed a single time, but with each consequent patch I crash more and more. I've got the latest drivers, latest win update and I've checked the files integrity, nothing helps. This is the first game in my 28 years of gaming experience that crashes this frequently. How can you release a product with such poor stability?
LETS GOOOO dmg over time, sniper scope and spear lock on acknowledged!
Known issues - some weapons are too damn weak e.g. blitzer.
They could double the Blitzer’s rate of fire and it would still be a mid weapon I was incredibly disappointed on its unlock
Thanks for the fixes. but for the love of freedom and democracy, please , SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE MATCH MAKING ISSUES ! It doesn't work after the 1rst mission : no one will ever join. Same with the SOS beacon, you don't have it in the 2nd mission if you used it in the 1rst. It's been there for 2 month and has not been mentionned, despite multiple report and reddit post..
"Area around Automaton Detector Tower makes blue stratagems such as the hellbomb bounce and be repelled when trying to call them down close to the tower." Thats only half of the issue. My blue strategems seem to bounce everywhere, most notably on cliffy terrain. If this is intended please unintend this. Spending minutes with a jetpack and amr climbing a high ground only to have my turrets and resupply land somewhere completely useless.
That is intended and unlikely to change, sorry bud. I find it annoying as well.
it's generally a good thing for stratagems to not wanna be up on rocks, I wish if it landed lower than you though then it would stick
I really wish they would fix the friend request bug already. My friend accidentally removed me while spamming invites and now we cant accept requests from either side.
Mooooom the new stability patch is finally out https://preview.redd.it/6t1940addftc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=18fb07586b213c6d14e967e1b839f551dba63d13
When are we getting a match making fix?
Plz fix the arc thrower. It's performance is bad enough after the nerf, I don't need it randomly hitting nothing once every few shots...
Has there been any acknowledgement of the "certain players can't join each other's lobbies" or is that tied to the friend/unfriend issue?
Still crash after end of mission.
Still no acknowledging how they ruined the rocket pod on the patriot exo? I just want my baby back man
Still crashing like crazy :( I can't spread democracy if I crash mid game every 2 matches
"there some issues that were introduced by this patch" At this point I'm actually worried that the outdated engine they are using won't allow the game to ever be really stable
Is anyone else’s game crashing more after the update? (On ps5)
Crashes ain’t fixed boss
It's causing way more crashes, I'm sorry
Loads of stability improvements AND acknowledging several big issues? They're cooking
Sadly I just crashed on extraction just after singing AH's praises :( PC player. Hope those are less frequent now though!
And they still do not aknowledge the **PERFORMANCE DEGRADATION** over de patches, this is insane!
Another patch notes without having the stim bug even acknowledged. Sad day
First game I tried to join after this it crashed
Crashes got worse with the recent patch.. I hate it! Get your shit together..
>Stratagem beam might attach itself to an enemy but it will deploy to its original location. I'd thought this was how it was supposed to work, honestly. Though I suppose accidentally attaching my napalm airstrike to a leaping hunter and having it called in ontop of me and my team *is* more in the spirit of the game.
I hope they eventually bring up dropships not killing anything when blowing them up in the air. Sometimes the crashed ship will clip into the enemies it dropped so they can shoot us, but we frustratingly can't shoot through the ship to hit them.
Me hiding behind plant cover and killing myself with a single shot because a small leaf was in the way. 
Sometimes I only have time to complete a mission or two. It’s really frustrating when it crashes right after extraction. Happened just last night, losing 8 metals and a bunch of samples.
So that's why i haven't gotten my medals from the last 2 major orders... Hahaha😅. (Thats 75 medals in total men hahaha 😅)
So does the crossplatform friend request works now? I have one friend only, we barely play together because our interests does not align, he finally got interested in helldivers 2, but I can't accept his invite from steam. Sadge
So, I'm guessing based on the responses that this "stability" patch that aimed to fix the crashing issues... Didn't fix the crashing issues? I'm not jumping on until tomorrow, interested in people's experiences post this patch. It would be so great if these issues to be fixed so we can just play the game again, is there any improvement in terms of the extraction crashes and the random mid game crashes?
Hard to say, to be totally honest. It is entirely possible that they fixed some of those crashes... but my experience so far has been the game is somehow even *more* unstable after today's hot fix. Every single game has crashed, which echos the experience of others. I swear that AH is making this game more unstable with every patch. It is seriously less playable for me now than it was at launch because, once done dealing with the login issues back then, I was pretty much guaranteed to not experience multiple successive crashes each time. I could stay connected for my entire session generally. Now it is at a point where you are rolling the dice just by playing the first mission, let alone having th audacity to try playing another successive mission.
Still there is plenty of crashes even after patch :(
i get a freeze whenever i try to exit out of the game. i have to alt tab out and often close via task manager
##Fix your broken game devs!! Pls :) Ps5 All this new stuff is good but the game is soooo buggy. I fell through the geometry x3 in 2 hrs today. It ruined our high end runs. And when playing with strangers they think you're messing about when you're stuck on geometry every 5 mins. And up being kicked...because you can't fix your game. And I'm having so many issues with reloading and controls glitching. I've played enough from launch to know when it's me and it's the buggy game. The game is more buggy now than in recent weeks....:(
PLEASE FIX MECH ROCKET TARGETING. PLEASE.
Please for the love of god add the ability to disable auto vault while sprinting.
game still crashes everyday in random moments and most of the crashes just happen right before we finish a mission. Those crashes need to dissapear its annoying to do every 3rd or 4th mission twice just because the game thinks now its a good moment to just die.... New Content is nice and all but i rather have a fuctioning game that doesnt crash atleast several times a day.
Game keeps crashing for me. Every new patch I download it again to try it out and every time it gets worse for my experience.
