Helldivers 2 Patch Notes
This hotfix aims to resolve crashes and to reduce the number of people stuck in the hellpod drop-in loading screen.
Fixes
- Fixed the ‘Superior Packing Methodology’ ship module upgrade (technically this was fixed on the server side and has been working since July 1st).
- Fixed crashes and glitches occurring when dropping into a mission.
- Fixed instances of players becoming stuck in the hellpod loading screen.
- Fixed a crash that occurs after changing settings (this should be fixed for real this time, the last fix didn’t stick the landing and we have sent the responsible engineer to a Super Earth re-education camp).
