Helldivers 2‘s Devoid of Liberty 7.2.1 hotfix targets a crash that can occur when another player joins or leaves a squad. Arrowhead describes it as one of the main crash issues the team has seen in its Steam announcement. The hotfix follows the October 20 Devoid of Liberty 7.2.0 update, which included a broader stability pass but did not list this squad-change crash.

The fix covers a different problem from Devoid of Liberty 7.1.1, which addressed crashes linked to opening terminals in Fullscreen and using superwide windows. The earlier 7.1.1 crash fixes focused on those display-related cases.

Arrowhead’s announcement also links to its Known Issues page for other tracked problems.

Helldivers 2 is a cooperative third-person shooter in which squads of up to four players are deployed from orbit onto hostile planets to complete strategic missions. Players select loadouts of weapons, armor, and stratagems that allow them to call in orbital strikes, supply drops, vehicles, and turrets during combat. Friendly fire is always active, requiring coordination between teammates. The game features a persistent galactic war where community-wide performance determines which planets are liberated or lost.
