Arrowhead Game Studios has recently rolled out a fresh patch for Helldivers 2, targeting the plethora of stability and crashing issues that have plagued the game in recent weeks.
With each successive update, whether introducing Warbonds, Stratagems, or new enemy types, more issues seemed to arise, resulting in numerous bugs and crashes.
Arrowhead's Community Manager announced on Discord that:
"Fellow Helldivers! I just briefly want to say that we're aware of the crashes primarily surrounding extraction and the end of missions that a lot of you are currently facing. There's a hotfix arriving very soon that we hope will mitigate this. We should have written a post about this here sooner, but for several reasons, we were not communicative this time. Sorry about that.
There are some unofficial workarounds circulating in troubleshooting that might work for some. Again, however, the hotfix is being launched soon, so hopefully crashless diving will be available to us all again soon.
P.S. Kudos to everyone for the patience and hard work you've managed to put in this weekend despite the issues at hand! We're humbled and impressed as always." -Twinbeard
Helldivers Patch 01.000.202 Breakdown
Patch 01.000.202 brings a significant focus on addressing the various crashing instances that have troubled players in recent weeks. From crashes during extraction and deployment to more niche occurrences like throwing snowballs or utilising the jetpack, this update aims to tackle them all.
One of the most notorious problems centred around extraction, where players would lose all progress made during missions due to the game crashing while boarding the shuttle. This issue led many players to halt their gameplay until an official fix was implemented.
The newly deployed patch 01.000.202 aims to address these concerns, featuring a range of fixes intended to resolve these issues. Below are the complete patch notes for the latest 01.000.202 update for Helldivers 2!
