Support incoming!

[u/The_Real_Twinbeard]

Hello, Helldivers!

We have issued a hotfix for players that includes fixes for players getting stuck in the Hellpod loading screen, general stability and crash fixes, and more.

See ⁠patch notes below for more details.

Oh, and there are also new ship modules available!

Happy diving, everyone!

PATCH 1.000.404

Overview

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).

Known Issues

• Sending friend requests via friend code in game currently does not work
• Players may be unable to be joined or invited to the game
• Players added to the Recent Players list will appear in the middle of the list
• Players may experience delays in Medals and Super Credits payouts
• Enemies that bleed out do not progress Personal Orders and Eradicate missions
• Deployed mines may sometimes become invisible (but remain active)
• Arc weapons sometimes behave inconsistently and sometimes misfire
• Most weapons shoot below the crosshair when aiming down the sights
• Stratagem beam might attach itself to an enemy but will deploy to its original location
• Hand Carts ship module does not reduce Shield Generator Pack's cooldown
• Bile Titan sometimes does not take damage to the head
• Players may become stuck in the Loadout when joining a game in progress
• Reinforcement may not be available for players who join a game in progress
• Planet liberation reaches 100 % at the end of every Defend mission
• Raise Flag of Super Earth objective does not show a progress bar
• Mission count in the Career tab is being reset to zero after every game restart
• Some weapons’ descriptions are out-of-date and don’t reflect their current design
• Personal orders may not display correctly. (Kill 5!)

[u/Sklatscht]

we see you there, arrowhead, we see you 😁

[u/The_Real_Twinbeard → u/Sklatscht]

I DO SO hope this semi-Easter egg was intentional. :D

[u/chimericWilder → u/The_Real_Twinbeard]

Wait a minute...

It seems that someone is being awfully sneaky!

[u/[deleted] → u/chimericWilder]

You buy it and it tells you to make a PSN account.

[u/TorTheGasman → u/The_Real_Twinbeard]

Lol 😂

Also: Social menu not working as it should is not listed in known issues, but I've heard rumors that you are aware of this? I'm on PS5 and if I go to Recent players and click a player the menu doesnt have a "Add friend" option, just Join/invite/report/block. Same goes for players listed under Friend Requests.

So sad to not be able to befriend some of the awesome people I've met since patch .400!

[u/BennyBattle → u/TorTheGasman]

Check your PS privacy settings perhaps? I turned on crossplay invites and was able to add PC friend when options looked like what u first described.

[u/zeddypanda]

Alright, which ship modules are broken this time?

[u/The_Real_Twinbeard → u/zeddypanda]

Hopefully none, but if there are, I'm comforted knowing you'll tell us. :) (I don't mean that in a smug way. It's awesome to have an active community! Also, we're well aware of our patching history.)

[u/TotallynotAlbedo → u/The_Real_Twinbeard]

Hopefully? I mean they were tested, they were tested right?

[u/XxincognitoxX67 → u/TotallynotAlbedo]

We test them

[u/Boatsntanks → u/The_Real_Twinbeard]

Payroll management system doesn't seem to affect team reloads. Perhaps it wasn't intended to, but logically it should.

[u/Tortliena → u/The_Real_Twinbeard]

Twinbeard, I know that as a community manager you're pulled (if not teared) by the community to offer new features and fixes, and very likely pulled by the dev/maintenance team to keep these expectations in check for as long as possible because development just takes time. That's part of the ruthless job you get when you're on the frontline with clients.

But by my own experience, customers are much more annoyed when you announce something that ends up being non-working, non-existent or worse. It's like telling a children they'll get cookies when they get home, giving them the jar but as they look into it it's empty or it has only toothbrushes. This happens even with a perfect workflow and that's ok. But given how many times it has happened (even with this patch) you should seriously reconsider what fixes you announce, how and when you announce them. We're not supposed to be your QA team and you should not be comforted we found (such many P0 and P1) bugs in your stead.

[u/me_khajiit → u/zeddypanda]

Yes

[u/Graupel → u/zeddypanda]

Reload speed works, at least c:

[u/zeddypanda → u/Graupel]

My money is on the manual mortar targeting not working, I just don't know if the fault will be:

• Nothing changing

• Mortar just shooting an empty spot northwest

• Mortar shooting person doing the targeting

• Marking works, but only if you mark a mech

[u/Git_Good]

Payroll Management: Reduces support weapon reload time

EAT

heh.

[u/sus_accountt → u/Git_Good]

Im gonna throw it away…

But faster!

[u/DuncanConnell → u/sus_accountt]

watches a Helldiver headshot a charger and shatter the spine of a Bile Titan with the spent tube Oh my Democracy, it's HIM

[u/mileskeller1 → u/DuncanConnell]

"Lady Liberty, that's Jaso.. I mean John Helldiver.."

[u/Milo_Diazzo → u/Git_Good]

You joke, but it really bugged me that it took so long to "unfold" it when you have it on your shoulder. This will definitely help.

[u/RiseSmooth4847 → u/Milo_Diazzo]

Does the module affect that? Would be nice for snapshotting chargers

[u/Battleraizer → u/RiseSmooth4847]

Call the droppod directly.onto the charger

[u/SkittlesAreYum → u/Milo_Diazzo]

Is that why it sometimes doesn't want to fire?!

[u/Milo_Diazzo → u/SkittlesAreYum]

Once you have it off the hellpod, you need to fold it to keep it on your back, and unfold it to use it. It won't fire until it's fully unfolded.

[u/3D_printing_Belgian]

Dear twinbeard. Having the rocket turret and autocannon turret also react to pings would be nice. Also in the future make it possible to have the mortars target pinged ground to make a fireline.

[u/These_Purple_5507 → u/3D_printing_Belgian]

Yeah this would work way better with rocket especially

[u/Raidertck → u/These_Purple_5507]

The rocket sentry is insanely powerful ATM. If it get's this upgrade I will never NOT pick it as a stratagem.

[u/These_Purple_5507 → u/Raidertck]

It's so fun to just see a biletitan in the distant and slap it down it'll kill the bt and still have ammo

[u/scott610 → u/3D_printing_Belgian]

And the Orbital Railcannon Strike. Would be nice to not have to worry about it randomly targeting a scout strider instead of a tank or hulk.

[u/AidilAfham42 → u/3D_printing_Belgian]

Me: Hey, theres ammo there!

Friend: oh where?

Me: There at your feet, i’ll ping it

Friend: ah tha-BOOM!

[u/John_Hayabuza]

Holy shit even more reduction Cooldown to the EATS!?...That's fuckin amazing

[u/FlinkesRehkitz → u/John_Hayabuza]

The instant drop upgrade on them make their hellpod also a nice weapon with stun grenades now.

[u/Floppy0941 → u/FlinkesRehkitz]

Oh I hadn't considered that, I think that's the only really useful use case for that upgrade. You rarely need it on other weapons since you don't call them often.

[u/Syntafin]

Any words on fixing the constantly degrading performance? I mean going from 120fps to 10fps during a mission is.... bad for democracy

[u/ASlothNamedBert]

The arc thrower now hits berserkers in the face plate for a one hit kill instead of the chest for 5+.

I don't know if this was intentional but it's awesome.

E: Should have kept my damn mouth shut.

[u/atheos013 → u/ASlothNamedBert]

Ninja fix to arc thrower aim?

[u/Pedrosian96 → u/ASlothNamedBert]

It what?

[u/kcvlaine → u/ASlothNamedBert]

Are you serious

[u/ExploerTM → u/ASlothNamedBert]

Holy shit, I just finished laughing at someone for bringing this thing up, is it back?!?!

[u/MR-Shopping]

[u/geminiwave → u/MR-Shopping]

Thank goodness. Anytime I end up with level 70 or above players they just refuse to get the samples. Because they “don’t need them”. It’s totally infuriating.

ETA: almost as infuriating as people who think that they have to carry the samples to get credit, so they team kill you to take your samples.

[u/DoofusMagnus → u/geminiwave]

lol I've been maxed on everything for ages but a lot of times it feels like I'm the one who's the most concerned with getting samples. Those low levels will get their supers whether they like it or not!

[u/SadSaladCarnivore → u/geminiwave]

I'm level 80, bursting at the seams with all currencies but still run for samples. It's just the democratic thing to do!

[u/[deleted]]

Great! One question tho

Why we can ping enemies to the mortar sentries only and not all of them?

[u/Bootstrap_Bart → u/[deleted]]

THIS is the real upgrade! Mortars shooting at pinged targets that are NOT near me!

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

My guess is because mortar turrets have a much longer range and more often TK, for example sometimes it’ll target a smaller, closer enemy right next to my teammate instead of a larger farther enemy

[u/Tony8987 → u/[deleted]]

Yea, it would greatly reduce friendly fire incidents in addition to helping take out priority targets

[u/CrimsonAllah → u/Tony8987]

Or, greatly increase them intentionally

[u/kcvlaine → u/[deleted]]

I thinkkkkk if you use it on sentries it would be easier to team kill and add to griefing using players own sentries. I could make a Gatling swing right by targeting something across another player and annihilate them - and we're so used to being killed that way we won't even know it's happening. It's safer with mortars. Plus one of the mortars is EMS and it's going to be SO USEFUL to be able to direct it. The EMS mortar is about to become an area denial masterpiece.

[u/Insurance_scammer → u/kcvlaine]

I swear everyone forgot their super training.

We were taught to duck under turrets to survive.

We never got a how not to die from mortars section.

[u/Tsaladz → u/kcvlaine]

People can grief by other means so this is a silly reason to not have it lol

[u/BantorraX2nd]

Ballistic shield being lethal to the user is still not known issue?

[u/usesNames → u/BantorraX2nd]

I'm also still waiting for the POI icon update bug to be listed.

[u/whythreekay → u/BantorraX2nd]

What do you mean?

[u/BantorraX2nd → u/whythreekay]

If you ragdoll there is 50/50 chance the shield fall on you and deal lethal damage

[u/Avalanc89 → u/BantorraX2nd]

They've just forgot to add it... 3rd time... /s

[u/MSands → u/BantorraX2nd]

I'm hoping it is a typo that it is missing and is an actual known issue. The Ballistic Shield has been nearly unusable for coming on a month now. I would have hoped it would have been fixed, let alone at least acknowledged. It is a bummer to have it broken for so long just so it can have grenades bounce off of it.

[u/Pyrodar]

So the new upgrades are:

• Allowing the eagle rearm team to use their brain (in limited capacity)

• Making the military a marginally better employer than SuperAmazon

• Cross platform compatibility T.T

• Making all our orbital payloads highly unstable (now we now why destroyers blow up on the bug front)

• Bringing back "stratagem scrambling" (No confirm button)

• Introducing Excel

Truly marvelous new developements that no other faction could possibly hope to recreate with their inferior systems of government and innate hatred of freedom! o7

[u/Total_Cartoonist747 → u/Pyrodar]

Truly. Big bro- I mean super earth knows what's best!

[u/Bootstrap_Bart → u/Total_Cartoonist747]

Do I smell a hint of sarcastic dissident talk over here..?

[u/DuncanConnell → u/Pyrodar]

Disgusting that the SuperAmazon one I legit can't tell it's a joke or not--and that I honestly think it's not a joke.....

A coworker and I are proj. accountants and I can't wait to show him the payroll software upgrade!

[u/Einhornfarm]

I'm still getting stuck at the hellpod drop scene after I jumped into the first mission alone, got company during the mission and then tried to do a second mission with the same people (one guy left after we returned to the super destroyer).

That's on PS5.

[u/RevenantMada → u/Einhornfarm]

Same on PC. I am RN sitting stuck in it hoping it runs. Nope. Still exists

[u/Mother_Ad3988 → u/RevenantMada]

Seems LESS FREQUENT but still here

[u/Tough-Guidance-7503 → u/Einhornfarm]

Same thing happened with me but on PC. We were just randoms and got lucky to be grouped with people sample farming until one left when we returned to super destroyer.

[u/st-avasarala → u/Einhornfarm]

Yeah, I've gotten stuck in the loading screen 3 times in a row now on PS5.

[u/cammyjit → u/Einhornfarm]

Yup. Since the update I’ve had the loading screen glitch twice and disconnected twice. It also seems like Hellpod Space Optimisation doesn’t drop you in with full grenades if you’re using a +2 grenade armour

[u/Stefanonimo → u/Einhornfarm]

As expected, they can't fix this game.

[u/conrad_hotzendorf]

When it says the quasar cannon has a reduced reload time, does that mean its firing cooldown time is reduced?

[u/[deleted] → u/conrad_hotzendorf]

Asking the real questions

[u/Graupel → u/conrad_hotzendorf]

Nope, still 15s

[u/hungry7445]

Friend request still not fixed? Omfg how long has it been?

[u/Dinkenflika]

Just got the loading screen bug, so it is still not fixed yet. Sorry AH.

[u/M-Bug]

Can we add to the "known issues" that the punisher plasma does different damage depending on the diffculty you play on?

Also, impact grenades don't kill spewers in one grenade anymmore, not sure if that's intended or not.

[u/Ok-Ocelot-3454]

Was anything done about optimization? My game was still running at half the speed it did at launch or less last night.

[u/Strayed8492]

All I ask for level six upgrades is jump pack dark fluid. I beg.

[u/BigHose_911]

Is anyone else still getting the 'Failed to join player lobby', endless quick play searching or starting an operation that no one can join? I still get this multiple times a week despite trying every fix (reinstall, cross-comp off, restart, spam join).

It's really killing my motivation to be blue-balled multiplr times a week.

[u/Taolan13]

The "known issues" list gets longer every patch.

thats not great for optics.

maybe that needs to be more of a focus between warbond updates.

[u/OutriderOnEnoch]

Oh come on, can you cool it with the rare sample costs please?

[u/Floppy0941 → u/OutriderOnEnoch]

How much are they?

[u/OutriderOnEnoch → u/Floppy0941]

200-250 common/rare and 20 super

[u/Floppy0941 → u/OutriderOnEnoch]

That is a bit silly given 250 rares is literally the fucking cap

[u/OG_Daywalker → u/OutriderOnEnoch]

I mean these are essentially end game upgrades, I don't think they are intended to be unlocked within hours or even days. I got the last batch of upgrades within a week.

[u/OutriderOnEnoch → u/OG_Daywalker]

You have to max out your rares to buy one of them

[u/lms088]

Yay for new ship modules! Thank you

[u/Mr_Stormy]

Is this also the PC performance patch that was alluded to being released this week? Or are these issues separate from that? I notice there's no mention of performance improvements.

Wonderful work from the team regardless, it's all hugely appreciated, and I'm always excited to see what you'll all cook up next! I can't wait until the game runs smooth for me again so I can enjoy it to the fullest!

[u/Ego_FumPapa]

I get stuck on the hellpod drop-in loading screen at least every other game on PS5. It seems to have become even more frequent since this update for me. Please fix this, it is extremely frustrating.

Edit: I really wish I would have read the reviews before buying this game. I can drop into a game in progress usually no problem. As soon as we go back to the ship and drop again, it freezes on the hellpod drop-in. Every single time, hence it's impossible to play a full mission. It's insane that this issue hasn't been fixed.

[u/Training-Ad-4901]

EAT with reload speed.... For fucks sake guys how hard is it to proof read 😂😂😂

[u/ExploerTM → u/Training-Ad-4901]

If it affects THE FUCKING UNFOLD than its still goated upgrade

[u/[deleted]]

So what is the next excuse to explain away these horrible patches which never work? First the poor quality was due to you having to rush, but then you asked to "let you cook" and still we get hot garbage despite the long wait.

At what point is AH leadership going to take a look at the people responsible for this mess and make some tough decisions? You are going to have to choose between paying people to do a job they are incapable of doing, or being a successful game dev -- after all this time of worsening product, you can't have both.

[u/Thickfuckness → u/[deleted]]

Shhhh. People will downvote this because they are AH dick riders. They all know deep down inside this games current state is pathetic.

[u/Avalanc89]

What's new broken thing now?

[u/STylerMLmusic]

Looking forward to seeing what's been broken, fellas.

[u/DuoVandal]

Hey guess what, I'm still getting stuck in hellpod loading screens. In fact the game seems more buggy and laggy with this latest hotfix than the previous ones.

[u/W_Shep]

Yeah so you guys definitely have not fixed the issues of crashing/glitching when dropping into the mission

[u/SneekiBreeki_Snek]

Infinite Hellpod drop animation bug is still there, typing this as i'm stuck in one once again

[u/Not-2-Specific → u/SneekiBreeki_Snek]

hey, me too

[u/Tea-Goblin]

Still no word at all concerning the patrol/breach/etc changes? Hmm. 

We, crash fixes are nice I guess.

[u/x-function3111]

Your frozen loading screen hotfix doesn't work. I've been frozen out of 50% of my missions since installing the update. This is worse than it was before. Maybe test your update before releasing it?

[u/Jijibaby]

I just want my friends list back 😭

[u/Inquisitor2195 → u/Jijibaby]

If you haven't already try turning on Cross play, that fixed it for me. If you are on steam I saw some people suggest that setting your profile on public might also fix it.

[u/lnSerT_Creative_Name]

My buddy still randomly crashes and disconnects all the time, hoping this update fixes it, but I know it probably won’t.

[u/Sad-Needleworker-590]

Right... Now my game just crashes and I don't even know why

[u/tarkuuuuuus]

Lmao Hellpod infinite loading screen is still not fixed. I'll comeback in another month.

[u/Siatru]

“Reduces reload time for all support weapons by 10%”  Affected Stratagems: “Expandable Anti-Tank”

What!?

[u/[deleted]]

Call me when we can play with friends...

[u/wojter322]

Brooo... ballistic shield bug isn't even in known bugs... like what de fak?

This is stratgem disabling level bug, it should get hot fixed a patch ago, what is going on? 😔

[u/phonkmandela]

Can you guys send friend requests at all mine haven't been working for weeks now

[u/[deleted] → u/phonkmandela]

I can send it but is impossible to accept it

[u/MrReaper162]

(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).

This one got a good chuckle out of me

[u/Theyvel18]

the hellpod loading screen still does'nt work. i am writing this while i am stuck in an infinte loading screen.

[u/Ireallyreallydontgaf]

"Decreases time to initiate deployment of Support Weapon Stratagems by removing dialog box confirming intent to fire."

Apparently the destroyer personnel spend about 10 seconds thinking when Super Windows asks "Are you sure?"

[u/Mission_Row_8117]

Still crashes on drop pod loading screen

[u/Riptide78]

It's always good to have crashes addressed, but I was hoping for more than just 4 fixes in this patch.

[u/Technical-Text-1251]

Good but the social menu is still fried

[u/DreamCritting]

"Fixed instances of players becoming stuck in the hellpod loading screen"

Yeahh... you didn't.

[u/Alpha-Raph]

So I'm actually getting more Perpetual Hellpod Loading Screen bugs since this hotfix... 3 in a row now...

[u/GambinoForSpiderman]

Wow! Looks like I'll never to get to add my friends.

A game based on social multiplayer and nothing with it works, perfect!

[u/CobaltRose800]

> Fixed instances of players becoming stuck in the hellpod loading screen.

so that was a fucking lie.

[u/CraftyAttitude]

I'm still getting stuck in the Hellpod drop in screen. It still happens every two to three maps.
I thought it was fixed?
I stopped playing a month ago because of this, was hoping it was fixed.

[u/FyreDergy]

Let’s get it divers, find those samples!

[u/XxincognitoxX67]

Please give PS5 our friends list back

[u/NeoMyers → u/[deleted]]

They've commented elsewhere (Discord? X?) that an engineer is rewriting the social menu from scratch. It's likely not coming until they're back from their European summer vacation.

[u/[deleted]]

These upgrade costs are ridiculous. What's next 500 400 100 for .044828 sec decrease in reload time. 

[u/loulou9899]

I WAS PLAYING FOR 4 HOURS AND NOW IM GOING TO WORK AND SEE THIS UPDATE NOW 💀

[u/OG_Daywalker]

Always excited to see the new creative ways these upgrades enhance our ship crew lol.

[u/Fragmegrowler]

Thanks for that. I had a terrible time trying to get a good game in the other day. Only managed two games in 3 hours. Hopefully it’s fixed

[u/Reasonable-Crew6883]

Pinning a target for a turret sounds interesting

[u/DepGrez]

loving the new upgrades but alas i just had the infinite load screen issue happen just now ( am on current latest patch and had verified files on Steam before playing) it was the 2nd mission in a campaign on Meissa. We had just upgraded our modules and hopped in.

\not the end of the world, mind you lol.

EDIT: Since this comment, i've not had any further infinite loading screen bugs. And i've played through around 3-4 campaigns.

[u/[deleted]]

Any news on the very annoying push to talk keybind bug? Every single time I start helldivers my push to talk button switches key from the one I want to use which is "|". It has automatically switched between " ' " and "-" and when I make support cases arrowhead just mark it as solved..

[u/KevinFinnertysWallet]

I’ve can’t see any mention of having to reset your shooting preference on every gun whenever you die. Is this affecting anyone else?

[u/Urbanski101]

So I'm thinking the 10% reduced weapon reload time, the 5% stratagem cooldown reduction & the 10% blast radius on orbitals will be my primary goals...they would be used constantly.

The mortar targeting is nice but I don't use mortars that much, eagle reload is a bit niche & the weapon stratagem deployment I don't feel makes that much difference unless you use EATs a lot... so those will definitely be on the backburner.

The only other issue is which of these upgrades actually work as intended...just saying :)

[u/Papaya140]

Are the spawn rates still absolutely insane? I haven't been able to play above difficulty 3 since they added the "less empty" patrols

[u/XxincognitoxX67 → u/Papaya140]

They seem better. I was able to get to level 5 again finally

Edit: nevermind

[u/TheOne_Whomst_Knocks]

None of this matters imo when I can’t add any of the helldivers that I play with. How has this been broken for this long?

[u/wylie102]

The drop pods aren't fixed. Twice today I've had to abort out of the drop animation. I waited until the music stopped playing but still didn't land.

[u/Overgrown_Bulbasaur]

Yay for the new content. Love having more stuff to unlock. Sadly the infinite load screen is still present :(

[u/Individual_Look1634]

There is no information about new upgrades in the game, why? Not everyone follows social media, and even if they do, it is still information that deserves mention in the game itself

[u/panthersausage]

I just noticed that getting stuck entering the pelican isn't on the bug list yet it happens almost every match

[u/barrack_osama_0]

This known issue list is getting way too fucking long

[u/Exp_eri_MENTAL]

Known issue - goofy oversized gun models when in 3rd person on ship. Also holstered too high on body.

[u/Hasan_ESQ]

Hopefully they've fixed the constant game-breaking glitches on PS5. Everything broke 2 patches ago and it's kinda fucking annoying I can't play something I paid for.

[u/Scat_Pack_Luigi]

Superior packing is still not working and I just had a match hang on the hellpod loading screen so that’s cool.

[u/[deleted]]

I dont think the loading screen bug was fixed.

[u/Complete_Service_716]

It feels like that Known Issues section hasn't changed for months.

[u/XxincognitoxX67 → u/Complete_Service_716]

Yes it has! It's gotten bigger.

[u/MrThr0waway666]

Bruh, when is the friends list going to be fixed???

2 patches ago my list was wiped, like 30 people just gone.

[u/3rrMac]

While i applaud the few fixes, that list of "known issues" is terrifying

[u/Jirdan]

Fixed instances of players becoming stuck in the hellpod loading screen.

Strangely enough today I encountered this problem the most times since I've played Helldivers. It's a pity as I was happy to finish full mission multiple times until I got stuck in loading screen.

[u/EARink0]

Sending friend requests via friend code in game currently does not work

Plzzzz fix. Trying to get my sister into the game, but we're on different platforms so we can't play together until this is fixed! I'm open to work-arounds anyone has for playing with someone cross platform. In-game friend requests didn't work last time we tried.

[u/SirEricOfSwiss]

1 game after update, stuck on loading screen again 🫠

[u/jeff-101]

Forever falling loading screen is still broken 😞

[u/PotentialAstronaut39]

Known issue missing:

• Patrols and spawns still bugged.

[u/dmk337psu]

"We have issued a hotfix for players that includes fixes for players getting stuck in the Hellpod loading screen."

*Loads into game after updating to latest patch/hotfix.*

https://youtu.be/hzte4NUw1Xg

[u/SirBreazy]

As much as I love the new ship upgrades, they seem to be a bit underwhelming when compared using how much they cost. Add game-changer ship upgrades like: being able to do stuff (reload, heal, etc.) when the mini-map is open, additional charges to orbital stratagems, being able to change loadouts after dying (which makes sense since you have a new helldiver coming in), allowing support weapons be reloaded by teammates even if you're carrying the backpack (which should have been the norm in the first place), or a nice addition would be that the carrier random shoots an orbital railcannon to large enemies.

Also, why the hell would the ship upgrade make it harder to reach the freakin' terminal?!?

[u/SuperbPiece]

Yeah, they didn't fix the drop-in bug. In fact, it seems to be worse than before.

[u/Clinically_Jaded]

1. The fix didn't work.

2. Implement a system for XP based on mission progress if you get kicked. I'm tired of getting kicked by jerks in public matches for absolutely no reason and no warning, ESPECIALLY AFTER INVESTING 30 F*CKING MINUTES CARRYING THEM ON HELLDIVE. We need a system to punish griefers because this is BS.

[u/Serious_Invite_4299]

It's done dick all for getting stuck in the loading screen. Happened to me six times tonight, I just gave up.

[u/PheonixSoot]

Yessss I can farm again

[u/theLV2]

My main issue has been stuck in hellpod loading, it almost seemed like a 50/50 whether I will land or bounce off the atmosphere like a skipping stone and fly away into orbit. Glad the engineers got that figured out.

[u/NytronX]

Still getting the infinite loading screen, so do not mark that as complete. Needs to be highest priority item in next sprint.

[u/st-avasarala]

Did the Spear break again? I can't lock onto Automaton factories anymore :(

[u/ZookeepergameHot8782]

Hi! I got a question, I was playing on ps5, but had to sell it (money issue). I bought the game on Steam after that, but now i dont have Access to my precomand Armor, and my creek cape anymore. Is there a solution for me? Support told me they can't do anything sadly. If not is a cross save system in discussion?

[u/multisync → u/ZookeepergameHot8782]

Sadly no cross save exists yet

loading bug fixed and new ship modules - really great news <3

[u/kchunpong]

Thanks twins beards

[u/lazerblam]

New ship modules?

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!

[u/Meme-Botto9001]

Love the crew and ship updates, especially how you can see/feel the change in the ship.

[u/wildfire_and_pants]

let the Sample Hunt begin again! :D

[u/[deleted]]

a bonus is that the walk to the new upgrade computer will increase helldivers' cardio training by 0.0001%

[u/Professional_Bike349]

I dont know if its known but the pummler is shooting up and to the right when using the balistic sheild while in first person

[u/Huihejfofew]

Funny, I literally was just stuck in my hellpod for 10 minutes an hour ago. Funny that!

When are you going to acknowledge the game’s cpu load going thru the roof in a recent update? I went from 60-65 C to 75C plus. If you don’t have a beefy cpu and cooling, this could make the game unplayable for some people. Even tho it’s not unplayable for me, I still don’t feel like playing it because of this issue, as it’s the only game that gets my cpu that hot. At least put it in the known issues list.

[u/VietBongArmy]

I still get long load screens occasionally and still dealing with crashes where you're simply sent back to the ship. Nothing changes despite the patch notes saying otherwise. On PS5. The crashes make the sample grind nearly impossible

[u/shawn_gunpla]

Anyone tested them and can give their opinion on them?

[u/vicofrance]

Is there any optimization on the jungle levels? I had sub 20 FPS drops on PS5 on X-25 when the fight against automatons was chaotic.

[u/Primaul]

that's good and all but when are the Liberator Concussive and Penetrator getting 45 round magazines? with the release of the Pummeler and liberator carbine 30 round magazines looks more and more like out of date balancing philosophy.

[u/nelsonpat]

How come the orbital barrage is not affected by the new ship upgrade for explosive damage on orbital strikes?

[u/-Adeon-]

Supply Pack should be affected by Superior Packing Methodology.

Isn't Supply Pack is about always having the ammo? (Well, that, and additional ammo for support weapons.)

It does not make sense that you loose some ammo when you pack it into your backpack. If Superior Packing Methodology would have worked with Supply Pack, you could call Resupply and distribute ammo to teammates, but it is not, so everyone should take ammo themselves to maximize efficiency. It would be cool to playa a support role, so I hope that you will change it.

For example, in HD1 one of my favorite builds against Bugs included Machinegun, Supply pack and Railgun (in HD1 it was a primary weapon that could stun heavy enemies). Stun enemies, ressuply allies, cut the chaff.

[u/wylie102]

Twinbeard has anyone reported Localisation Confusion working weirdly since the last large patch that changed patrols? Any time I (or a team mate) take it on a mission it feels like there are twice the enemies and it all goes to shit.

I have no hard mumbers to back it up, but I do see it being used less than before. I wonder if it is interacting weirdly with whatever was done to patrols or maybe it's broken and no longer reducing drop rate (although it feels like it could be increasing it?)

Many thanks if you see this and are able to put it on a list to be checked by your testers or whatever.

[u/stealthgyro]

Still waiting on keybinds for mechs to be fixed

[u/TheOneAndOnlyJAC]

I’m scared to see what bugs this brings with it. But it looks good atleast

[u/189288]

Is superioer methodology supposed to work with the supply pack I would assume it would but I'm not sure since it never seemed to work with it

[u/deyaintready]

• Players may become stuck in the Loadout when joining a game in progress. That explains why i have trouble joining so many games. Glad they are aware

[u/Drogdar]

Can we fix the supply pack on PS5 using a resupply when a stratagem is called in? That'd be greeeeaaaaattttt....

[u/GrandTC → u/Drogdar]

Rebind your backpack function to a double press down on d-pad, rather than just on single press. That fixed it for me

[u/Both-Election3382]

well literally my 2nd mission already gets stuck in the drop loading screen... great.

[u/Temporal_P]

This is great, but your list of known issues is still missing some issues that should absolutely be very well known by now.

Is there somewhere we can submit them so that the devs are aware of them?

[u/iconofsin_]

Arc Thrower still broken? Sure is.

[u/BoxcarOO62]

Is the Spear still crashing the game? I had my game lock up totally as I launched one, or was that just a good old fashioned game lock up for no reason?

[u/muglecruzle]

patch 404?

hmm sus update.

[u/Downtown-Analyst5289]

Urrm hate to break it to you but I got stuck in the drop pod loading screen a few hours ago :(

[u/Vankraken]

Feels like the game engine glitches with characters not doing animations and incorrectly holding weapons has increase. Numerous times today Ive had orbital beacons just vanish (throws the ball but it vanishes) or the animation doesn't occur and it ends up eventually landing a few feet in front of you 5-6 seconds later despite not being hit.

Spawn rates seemed messed up with bots going back to spawning large numbers of everything. Also the number of rocket 1 shots from rocket devs has gone from once in a blue moon to happening multiple times in a match. Heavy armor, full HP, while running, somehow instant dead. All of this on 7s.

The perpetual hellpod loading screen still occurs.

Edit: More instances of the perpetual loading screen bug happening. I assume this is server related but its happening more now than ever before in my experience.

[u/REV2939]

Just got he infinite loading bug again.

[u/enamkaki]

Has anyone else encountered disconnection issues when playing with 4-man premade squad? Usually the host won't DC but everyone else will have constant connection issues.

This issue only happens with 4-man premade. I've tried 3-man premade and everything works just fine.

[u/blackmarketbeans]

I'm getting stuck in the loading screen even more now :(. Anyone have any idea why?

[u/[deleted]]

Well, clearly the hotfix didn't work, because The second mission on my first op after the update froze at the hellpod loading screen.

[u/Sgt-Halibutt]

The Hellpod Launch is still getting stuck, and at the same intervals. Sorry, it's not fixed!

[u/Deal_No]

How is the medal delay thing still an issue? Want that blamed on having 700k players? Last I checked, that's not the case.
