It’s been almost a week since the devs issued the latest patch. However, as it brought plenty of new content, especially on the bot front, it took players a while to notice that it actually introduced plenty of issues. Helldivers 2 players are now asking the devs to fix the bugs that came with the patch as soon as possible.
Some of the Most Annoying Bugs in the Latest Patch
As it turns out, the game is currently riddled with issues and bugs that spoil the players’ experience. Of course, not all bugs are perceived as game-breaking (looking at you, snake divers), but many players are peeved that the game feels “buggier than usual”. So, we’ve compiled a list of some of the players’ complaints.
- The Automatons on city maps don’t play well. Also, the new Incineration Corps feels bugged.
- The Illuminate will stop spawning in missions, making those missions impossible to complete.
- The number of enemies spawning out of nowhere has grown.
- Some players reported that Stratagems have become even harder to stick.
- The AT-12 Emplacement is (still) bugged. Some players reported not being able to get off unless they were killed.
- The Terminals sometimes don’t work, so the missions are ruined.
- The bug where your weapon won’t reload if the animation is interrupted is more frequent.
- Also related to weapons, hit reg seems to have suffered a blow.
- There’s a new issue with the Player Cards, the backgrounds are broken and look low-resolution.
- Teammates sometimes become invisible or only a body part can be seen. Honestly, we’ve seen a floating torso in almost every other game we played.
- Even though the patch notes stated the snake divers were no more, they’re still in the game. And, stranger than ever, might we add. One player, Rindustrious, shared a short video showing just how bizarre the slithering was.
Helldivers 2 Players Claim the Performance Gets Worse With Each Patch
According to some Helldivers 2 players, the bugs introduced in the latest patch aren’t even the worst thing. The main problem seems to be that the game performance seems to be worse than before. Many players reported a big drop in frame rates.
Jason1143 noted: “The game hasn’t been crashing, but performance is way down. It is borderline unplayable sometimes. I also don’t think it is all the time, mainly when there are lots of bad guys”.
Another player, Rengar_Is_Good_kitty, added: “The game has run worse with every single patch, they have completely neglected optimization, I’m honestly tired of this shit at this point. We need a major patch that focuses purely on optimization and bug fixes. Also, add DLSS and FSR please”.
Now, we know that all this criticism might feel harsh, but, it’s important to have this kind of feedback from the community. No matter how many devs tested the game, maybe they wouldn’t have stumbled upon some of these problems. So, the community input could help make the game better for everyone.
Hopefully, the devs are already working hard on some fixes. As for you, dear Helldiver, you could work on spreading some Managed Democracy! The Major Order is still in progress, and even though it will probably fail, you’ll find us fighting on the bug front, until the very last moment.
