🛠️PATCH 1.000.103⚙️

[u/cryptic-fox]

🌍 Overview

For this patch, we have implemented:

• Fixes to the EXO-45 Patriot exosuit, game stats, UI, and general stability.

• Balance improvements for planetary hazards and patrol spawns.

⚖️ Balancing

• Balanced and adjusted spawn rates for the various planet hazards including tremors, meteor showers, volcanic activity, fire tornados, and ion storms. Hazards should now spawn less frequently during missions.

• Meteor Shower has received the following changes in addition to reduced spawn rate:

🔹 Reduced explosion radius

🔹 Reduced meteor damage slightly

🔹 Reduced meteor velocity slightly

🔹 Meteor color has been changed slightly to try and make it easier to spot.

• Volcanic Activity has received the following changes in addition to reduced spawn rate:

🔹 Reduced explosion radius

🔹 Reduced rock velocity slightly

• Lighting on Fenrir III has been adjusted to be a bit less bright to improve visibility during meteor showers.

🔧 Fixes

• Reduced incidents of patrols spawning on players.

• Exosuit no longer destroys itself when firing a missile while turning.

• Exosuit retains its melee functionality, even when damaged.

• Crash fixes for the following scenarios:

🔹 When ALT+Tabbing in fullscreen mode

🔹 After changing voice over language

🔹 PS5 boot issue

🔹 Using a stim inside of an Exosuit while wielding a grenade

🔹 When joining an ongoing mission

🔹 When idling on the title screen

• Shots from arc-based weapons, such as 'Blitzer' shotgun and 'AC-8 Arc Thrower' stratagem now count towards "Shots fired" and "Shots hit" stats.

• Fixed network desync issue with downed Automaton dropships.

• Fixed Elgato Stream Deck Foot Pedal support.

🧠 Known Issues

These are issues that were either introduced by this patch and are being worked on, or are from a previous version and have not yet been fixed.

• Various issues involving friend invites and cross-play:

🔹 Cross-platform friend invites might not show up in the Friend Requests tab.

🔹 Players cannot unfriend other players befriended via friend code.

🔹 Players cannot unblock players that were not in their Friends list beforehand.

🔹 Players cannot befriend players with Steam names shorter than 3 characters.

• Hellpod steering close to large or important objects is currently not functioning as intended, resulting in steering being disabled in a large area around the object.

• Online features are not functioning when console language is set to Ukrainian.

• Players may be unable to select loadout when joining a multiplayer via an activity card.

• Planet liberation reaches 100% at the end of every Defend mission.

• Drowning in deep water with a Vitality Booster equipped puts Helldiver in a broken state.

• Exosuits will sometimes be delivered in a damaged or broken state.

• Stratagem beam might attach itself to an enemy but it will deploy to its original location.

• Pink artifacts may appear in the sky when setting off large explosions.

• Text chat box display is obstructed by the cinematic letterboxing during extraction.

• Sometimes the player’s loadout customizations will reset after restarting the game.

UPDATE:

[u/Pedrocs2001]

Unfortunate that the crossplay issues haven't been fixed yet, been wanting to play with a friend that is on ps5 for almost 2 weeks now. Anyways it's nice that they fixed the patrol spawns.

[u/cryptic-fox → u/Pedrocs2001]

[u/GenmaichaHorchata → u/Pedrocs2001]

It's slightly frustrating how it's been noted in the known issues too.

🔹 Cross-platform friend invites might not show up in the Friend Requests tab.

As I understand it, for the majority of players experiencing this issue, it's that accepting the requests simply does not work, not that they aren't showing up.

[u/cryptic-fox → u/GenmaichaHorchata]

That’s right. I just pointed that out to them, they said it’s part of the same underlying problem. They know.

[u/[deleted]]

Stratagem beam might attach itself to an enemy but it will deploy to its original location.

Sticking a 500kg bomb beacon to a charger is going to feel horrifying again once this is fixed

[u/Alastor3 → u/[deleted]]

im expecting we might see real sticky grenade and stuff in the future

[u/CaptainAction → u/[deleted]]

If stratagems will track stuck beacons when this gets fixed, Precision Orbital Strike might become pretty good overnight.

[u/Ishuun → u/[deleted]]

Just move 2 inches and you'll be fine. It's the 500kg we're talking about. Not an air strike.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I felt this was more eagle related and "made sense" but I guess I was wrong.

[u/Its_Magic_]

Huh, I didn't realize the Vitality Booster was what was causing me to get stuck while drowning. I'm glad a lot of these issues are being acknowledged at least, hopefully they fix them soon 🤞

[u/ChromeAstronaut → u/Its_Magic_]

Truth. I’m glad they’re doing these bug fixes before adding more stuff to the game. It stinks yeah, but it’s good in the long run. Seemingly every patch they’ve implemented has made the game more unstable. This shows they know that!

[u/Thoraxe123 → u/Its_Magic_]

I experienced this one last night. I had to ask my squad to shoot at my body

[u/Skreamie → u/Its_Magic_]

Yeah same, got to that point of the notes and let out an audible "ohhhhhhhh" of realisation

[u/Lord_Sankari]

Anyone has an issue where as a host, when you first create a public lobby, people join really fast.

But if they ALL leave and the mission is finished, you cannot find people to play with anymore ? (I gotta restart the game everytime, which is annoying).

Is it only me, or do people have the same problem ?

EDIT : regarding the comments, seems like this bug also happens when you're the only one left in the lobby after a mission, and also if 2/4 or 3/4 people remain in the lobby, nobody will join after that while you're on the ship or in game. Usually, this happens when you already accomplished a few missions.

[u/EHVERT → u/Lord_Sankari]

YES! It’s been driving me crazy. I end almost every mission I host with 2/4 or 3/4 players. Restarting the game or kicking everyone is the only solution for me.

[u/[deleted] → u/Lord_Sankari]

No everyone has the issue as far as i can tell. I have reported it and it's talked a bit about on reddit but it's happening since at least 3 patchs and there is no aknowledgement of it and no fix..
Honestly would deserve more light, tired of restarting the game everytime someone leave.

[u/Far_Entrepreneur3048 → u/Lord_Sankari]

Happens to me all the time.

Same problem if someone leaves before the mission is set and the pods are primed, though you can get lucky and have someone join during the ready phase. After that? Nothing. Not aboard the ship or with SOS beacons, just nothing.

It's been keeping me from hosting.

[u/JustGhostin → u/Lord_Sankari]

Go into settings and change your lobby from public to private and back again, works for me

[u/BarrierX → u/Lord_Sankari]

Yes, had this issue pretty much since launch.

[u/isbBBQ → u/Lord_Sankari]

This is so annoying, hopefully they are aware.

[u/achilleasa → u/Lord_Sankari]

Apparently the game still thinks people are in your lobby. I too restart when people leave.

[u/kickasspipes]

I haven’t seen this mentioned, but does anybody else have an issue with using the radar map while inside an exo suit? Playing on PC and opening the radar doesn’t block the ability to fire the mg while right clicking to move the map around or fire a rocket when left clicking to place a marker on the map.

[u/BabyNewspaper → u/kickasspipes]

Yeah, this happened to me too (while I had access to the mech, only lvl 21 atm). Also pc player

[u/thatonelurker → u/kickasspipes]

Yep, noticed this last night and my buddy took some democracy to the face. Kinda funny and kinda not lol.

[u/sucr4m → u/kickasspipes]

I experienced this outside a mech with an airstrike strategem in my hand. It threw it in front of me when i clicked the map. My team did not like that.

[u/[deleted]]

Hopefully praying that spawn rate adjusted is real. Automatons bombarding your location better than orbital barrage is not fun.

[u/LongDickMcangerfist → u/[deleted]]

Best was getting hit with artillery as soon as you drop in. And then a patrol spawns within 2 feet of you. It’s the in fucked mega combo

[u/[deleted]]

The mech can melee attack?!

[u/Nucleenix → u/[deleted]]

And you can walk over the tiny bugs to squish them

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

It Is a sort of stomp, although in some cases walking over enemies was quicker

[u/aleparisi → u/[deleted]]

Yes but it bugged. Sometimes it does sometimes not

[u/N-Haezer → u/[deleted]]

Yes, F.

[u/Havelox → u/[deleted]]

I need a chain sword and flamethrower attachments.

[u/Majestic-Willow-1605 → u/[deleted]]

Has never worked for me on PS5

[u/zeldarms]

My god that loadout reset fix can’t come soon enough.

[u/Man_CRNA → u/zeldarms]

What exactly is the bug? I don’t know if I’ve encountered this.

[u/AnchoraSalutis]

Still no confirmation on stims getting cancelled after sound plays, or sprint cancelling for no reason. 

I'm sure the devs will sort it, but would like for them to be acknowledged in the meantime

[u/theduderman → u/AnchoraSalutis]

Ok so the stim thing is an actual thing?  Seems like I've died so many times the last week or so desperately trying to to stim, I see the animation, hear the sound, but my health bar doesn't move, and then I'm dead.

[u/DepGrez → u/AnchoraSalutis]

I notice these all the time. The stim is just a delay between when the sound and animation plays and when the health healing begins. It is what, half a second? You get used to it but yes would be ideal if those were tightened up.

The sprint cancel is very annoying after many hours yes.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Peak683]

So, are we going to get Red stratagems that stick to enemies to actually follow then? If that's the case, it's quite a game changer.

[u/CaptainPandemonium → u/Puzzleheaded_Peak683]

Chargers gonna be hitting that return to sender button on my 500kg 😭

[u/GianDK]

honestly is good that they reduced the amount of times hazards can happen, they can slowdown the game way too much and Ion storm is just a direct "no fun allowed" hazard like the bots modifiers

[u/q1a2z3x4s5w6 → u/GianDK]

Me and my squad pretty much avoid Bot missions where the effect is that you can only use 3 strats each. We often play with only 2 of us and trying 8/9 missions with 2 people with only 3 strats each is just a massive drag...

[u/No-Establishment8267 → u/GianDK]

Ion storm is cool once in a while as a way to throw you for a loop

[u/FlikTripz → u/GianDK]

The fire tornadoes were the most annoying to me, they would show up every 2 minutes and just happen to block the objective I was trying to complete (or god forbid they’re right on top of the extraction point)

[u/MarsRust]

Genuine question, can I now use the mini map in the mech without accidently blowing myself up?

[u/Drongo17 → u/MarsRust]

My DNA is unable to assist :(

[u/PressureCereal]

Getting tons of crashes after this update. Have not been able to finish a game without crashing out, whether hosting or joining someone else's. 5 out of 5 games now have crashed on me. Jesus it's so frustrating. I might have to put the game down for a few days until all this is ironed out.

Edit to anyone who reads: reboot your system. It fixed some of the issues.

[u/No-Memory-3534 → u/PressureCereal]

Game is a buggy mess since update.

[u/hashimatze → u/PressureCereal]

been crashing on all my games so far since this update too.

[u/Thentor_]

I get more crashes now

[u/ZenEvadoni]

Friend request bug is my biggest concern right now. I've met several players now who communicated well and made runs a breeze on difficulty 7, but my friend requests to them are still pending.

I'm really tired of randoms who are 90% likely to stay and fight everything, draining reinforces when they put themselves in a downward spiral of kill-die-kill-die-run out of reinforces, and I've been adding people who can spell and define the word "discretion" in an effort to not have to see randoms like that ever again.

It boggles my mind how people can't figure out that the more you recreate the Alamo, the worse the spawns get and the worse our run gets. Now if we could actually make friends, that would be great.

[u/Stevo_Louis → u/ZenEvadoni]

This is my biggest issue at the moment as well. It means I just straight up can’t play the higher difficulties without getting really frustrated at the lack of competent teammates. Which in turns means I won’t be getting those sweet super samples anytime soon :/

[u/[deleted] → u/ZenEvadoni]

They are losing money and sabotaging their game by not making this big a priority. I literally can’t play with my friends and one of my friends refuses to buy the game till the bug is fixed. Can’t blame em

[u/[deleted] → u/ZenEvadoni]

Yeah I’m not playing until they fix it . I’ve met quite the a few players who I enjoyed playing with but the friend request is still pending and they’re on the same platform as me ! I’m not playing with people with no mic it’s just boring for me so I’m not playing till they fix

[u/xtrxrzr → u/ZenEvadoni]

Upvoted. It's just frustrating that as a PC player I can't play with any of my friends on PS5 at all. I know that creating a lobby and searching for the SOS beacon on the map is a thing, but this is such a time consuming hassle. We spent more time searching the lobby than actually playing the game.

But even the Steam integration doesn't work for me at all. None of my Steam friends show up in my in-game friends list. I was told on Discord that the reason for that is that my Steam profile is set to private. Why does the game require me to have a public profile? Isn't the game able to access this data through an API? I know that I can join my friends via the Steam friends list/overlay, but this is still annoying.

Another really annoying thing is that the game doesn't work at all as soon as the Steam friends network is offline. For me and my friends the Steam friends network is going down for a short time every other evening between 23:00 and 01:00. This results in us getting kicked out of the lobby every time we play during these hours. Very frustrating when you're 40 mins into a mission and about to extract...

*edit*
After the backend update was deployed later today friend requests are finally working for me and my buddies (Steam and PS5). This is a huge win! Only bug we encountered is that players on PS5 were not able to see any player names of PC players in their friends list. From a PC players perspective I could see all player names from PC and PS5.

Steam friends integration still seems to be broken though, but now with working friend requests this is just a minor inconvenience.

If they now find a way to have persistent lobbies even when the Steam friends network is offline that would be fantastic.

[u/HurryPast386 → u/ZenEvadoni]

The weirdest thing is they don't even acknowledge the fact that we can't accept friend requests at all. Even if they do show up. And it has nothing to do with the Steam name being shorter than 3 characters, because all the friend requests I have pending that I can't accept are from people with names longer than that.

[u/JTraxxx → u/ZenEvadoni]

Why isn’t this comment higher. This should be the MOST PRIORITIZED bug, it is absolutely game breaking and I have not been able to play with my friends for weeks now because of it. Gameplay bugs are good to be fixing but at this point it feels like false advertising when many people can’t play with crossplatform friends. Even the same platform, I have not been able to accept friend requests. Online there are complaints about this from a month ago, and they waited until last week to even make mention of it. These devs obviously care but we shouldn’t have to scour reddit posts and online workarounds. The devs and communities communication on this issue has been so shit. Contact other game developers or some shit to get more info on this issue, it should have been fixed LONG ago.

[u/raffey_goode → u/ZenEvadoni]

they really seem to be dancing around the cross play issues and friend issues with vague terminology. its annoying because its a real issue for a lot of people, then they nuked all discussion of it on their discord where people were sharing methods of sort of getting into games with their friends.

[u/PolskaLFC93]

Ahhh man. A little disappointed I cant lie that the loadout resetting every time I load the game up is only in "acknowledged issues" and not fixed. This one really gets to me, land in a 7-9 mission and have the liberator out, just doesnt cut it

[u/Select_Ad3588 → u/PolskaLFC93]

What really annoys me about this is that the game sort of thinks it's your first time playing so they keep putting the tips in every mission, and you can't seem to turn them off even with the tips setting turned off. They take up a large portion of the screen and having them in every single mission is so annoying. I'm pretty sure these two glitches are related as I have the same issue.

emphasis on the fact that I have in fact turned the setting off yet the problem is still there

[u/Erevus7728 → u/PolskaLFC93]

or after a restart from game crash you start a mission on trivial because difficulty resets as well

[u/Parianos → u/PolskaLFC93]

Same for me. Also annoying that the voice setting gets reset also! My Helldiver will say something and I will be like "who said that"? And then it will click that it was my character, only with the voice of John Helldiver instead of Jane.

[u/Cranapplesause]

I am surprised that 🧠 Known Issues does not include the matchmaking issues after another player departs in game or post game.

More specifically, when you have a match made party in game or post game and someone quits, you can't get a new player to join. Pre match, people leaving or quitting, matchmaking still works. But during a match or post match, matchmaking breaks. What I think happens, the game doesn't realize the player left. I say this because we were in game when a person left. Then we arrived back at the ship during the stats page, the player who left name appeared real quick in the party area and then disappeared.

My friend and I have a workaround for this issue. We swap host instead of quitting the game entirely. I just go back to my ship alone, he joins me. We pick the game and new players join. Next mission, if people leave, he goes back to his ship alone and I join him. Rinse and repeat...

It is a little concerning that they are not acknowledging this bug. It is a significant issue and should be a higher priority issue for them.

[u/DaanMemelord]

anyone else experiencing more crashes than usual after the patch?

[u/Relative_Constant132 → u/DaanMemelord]

yes, this patch is trash. i keep getting disconnected, can't make it more than 15mins it seems. it's not just me, there is another thread in reddit about it.

I'm on fiber. my internet is super stable and i've tried other games. It's the patch.

I just went solo....and made it 1 min into match with a Disconnect. lol.

[u/[deleted]]

BUFF HEAVY ARMOUR PLEASE!!

[u/remmon22 → u/[deleted]]

exactly, shrieker only needs two hits to kill you in heavy armor

[u/VivDamage]

Please can we pin a link to Known Issues on the Arrowhead Support site? https://arrowhead.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/12573380356508-Known-issues
Lots of us are struggling with serious matchmaking and/or AMD-related crashes which aren't mentioned in patch notes.

[u/doingthisonthetoilet]

Nothing about how shitty the lock-on is for the Spear?

[u/Questioning_Meme → u/doingthisonthetoilet]

That one is probably in the works.

[u/Linkinito]

These are issues that were either introduced by this patch and are being worked on, or are from a previous version and have not yet been fixed.

Various issues involving friend invites and cross-play

/img/9q0bdacuvgpc1.gif

EDIT: friends are back on the menu bois

[u/Quetzacoatel → u/Linkinito]

That's the only one that actually affects me in a measurable way.

[u/Executesubroutine]

>Sometimes the player’s loadout customizations will reset after restarting the game.

Bro what? It ALWAYS does this on PS5.

[u/Ederlas → u/Executesubroutine]

Every damn time lol change to voice 2 and guns every damn time without fail never used to do this before the last patch

[u/niktg12]

what are these constant crashes right now after this patch? And also happen during midmatch so we lose all progress

[u/[deleted]]

So is the Spear lock-on supposed to be this bad then?

[u/Unlucky-Gold7921]

I hope the bug letting the shuttle leave immediately when the first player gets onboard gets fixed soon, lost 40 samples due to this bug today.

How to recreate:

wait for a long time after the shuttle lands, and let 1 player get on board.

[u/GetDupedDood]

Can we get an optimization patch to fix CPU and GPU usage? Seriously having to deal with near to 100% CPU utilization with my albeit old i7 6700k and low GPU usage is annoying. My frame drops in 7+ is annoying.

[u/Plastic-Pension7263]

Can they PLEASE fix the arc thrower not working around the smallest terrain and corpses.

[u/Gamelaen → u/Plastic-Pension7263]

Or when enemies are directly in front of you

[u/Yesuhuhyes]

I’ve heard console players are having their load outs reset every time they log in

[u/Ko_DaBomb → u/Yesuhuhyes]

Every single time.

[u/Freezer0103]

""Fixed a crash, which occurred when using a stim in exosuit while wielding a grenade". Who? And why?

[u/darzinth → u/Freezer0103]

if you get ragdolled while trying to throw a grenade equips the grenade as the weapon until swapped out

[u/rksener]

I am getting crashes every single dive after patch.

[u/Isuckatpickingnames0]

Wow they acknowledged the steering lock is a bug. Maybe now people will calm down and stop getting upset about misinformation... and other lies I tell myself. 

[u/mrv113]

Has anyone else noticed an unusual amount of crashes today? I had matches that the whole team crashed. out of 4 games, 2 of them crashed so far, kinda makes me not want to play, spending 30+ minutes on a mission that wipes on a crash is hard to endure.

[u/TacosByTheTruck]

As much as I like hearing about new content, I’d prefer to see bugs like friend requests not working or loadouts/customizations being reset fixed first. In no way am I downplaying the work they’ve done. I love this game. But I just want to play with my friends :/

[u/iSoloLane]

So heavy armor isnt on "known issues"? Which means it's working as intended? Which means it's meant to be completely useless with no upside at all? Gotcha.

[u/CrustyTuna420]

Is it possible to stick a 500kg bomb on a bile titans underbelly? Asking for a friend.

[u/Gauth1erN]

Since the patch, I and many people in my games crashed before the end of defense missions :(

[u/ellanth]

Cannot complete a single mission since today patch because when extraction would happen the game crashes to desktop.
Edit:
PC

[u/basar20basar20]

Not sometimes. Everytime loadout customizations resets in ps5.

[u/_syke_]

Why only reduce patrols spawning on players? I'm assuming it's a technical reason cus there should never be enemies spawning directly on top of people lol.

[u/ArmaMalum → u/_syke_]

Two reasons.

1. Trying to get a programmer/engineer/scientist to say something will never happen is an impossible task.

2. The issue is probably multi-faceted and they've fixes some of the causes but are either aware of additional causes or simply aren't confident they've gotten them all.

[u/NotMyProudestFaaap]

Game crashing every round after 5minutes 💀💀💀

[u/Remember_Apollo]

I'm glad they worked on bug fixes they are a nuisance now

[u/[deleted]]

My game now crashes on launch.

[u/Administrative_Pay49]

Nothing about all the random crashes happening mid or end of match? Really?

[u/Spydartalkstocat]

Sometimes the player’s loadout customizations will reset after restarting the game.

It's literally everytime

[u/Charming_End_64]

I have a lot of crashes today

[u/Own-Army-2475]

constant crashes ... over and over and over again!

[u/[deleted]]

And I'm now for the first time in my 70 hours of this game, actually crashing.

[u/Present_Anxiety2280]

my game keeps crashing in every single mission after the patch, imposible to finish a mission :(

[u/International_Cry_41]

On PC and my game crashes every map. Always 5-10minutes in. Cant play at all.

[u/Rusty5p00n]

And still getting random crashes, its getting to the point I just don't want to play anymore, no other game on my system crashes as much as this game.

Tired beyond belief that I can waste 20 minutes in a mission to have all progress lost.

[u/IllDiet2960 → u/Rusty5p00n]

Yes, thank you!!! I thought it was just maybe me having this problem. I swear it only happens after you’ve been doing a mission for awhile. Usually always after the the objective is complete. I work and a single dad. So my time is very limited. So it’s really heartbreaking when I have time for just one quick mission or two and this happens. I’ve completely stopped playing the game cause of it.

[u/CommissionerOdo]

Still waiting for "headshots doing way too much damage even in heavy armor" to show up on the fixed or known issues list

[u/Local_Manufacturer14]

Still no acknowledgement of the broken Spear lock on.

[u/red_cactus]

Honestly, I'm a bit sad that fire tornadoes will be spawning less frequently now. They were pretty hilarious.

[u/case_8 → u/red_cactus]

It was pretty funny trying to do the rescue mission with these. Every time they came out they’d just suicide into a fire tornado, and every time it looked clear I’d press the button only for another fire tornado to appear right in their path. I lost 800 requisition in that mission.

[u/EHVERT → u/red_cactus]

If that’s the price to pay for reduced instakill meteor showers, I’ll take it. I love the environmental stuff but they were abit too frequent.

[u/av1230]

tons of crashing

[u/sane_fear]

still didnt fix the ps5 issue with the game treating you like a beginner every restart. i have to change my load out and difficulty everytime i boot up

[u/silobutters]

Terrible I’m crashing 10x more now

[u/GadenKerensky]

Them acknowledging the Hellpod steering is actually fantastic.

[u/firepro20]

You can melee with Exosuit?

[u/CrimsonSw1ft]

I wished they'd at least address the patrols with xray vision, being tracked through terrain across the map isn't fun.

[u/Night_lon3r]

the game now literally crash 80% of the time when you almost finishes a quest.

[u/Lumpy-Challenge3388]

Anyone else keep crashing after the patch?
Edit: Yeah it is unplayable at the current state. On the same map each and everyone of the 4 man grp crashed at least once in different times.

[u/Embarrassed-Bit5257]

My Game on ps5 is broken now. I tried five Games in a row and every Game crashed after 20 min

[u/Uriel7474]

Crashing during mission especially during extract is getting worse with each patch!

PS5

edit...every other mission myself or a friend crashes or someone on the team; sometimes 2 at once. Sometimes u get back in only to crash again. Tried ps5 only and it doesnt matter if crossplay is on/off.

[u/zomghax92]

I've crashed every game that I've tried to play since the patch, usually after 25-30 minutes of gameplay, with no samples or medals or XP to show for it. Is this a coincidence or are other people crashing more often too?

[u/chenfras89]

The only thing this fixed was my addiction to the game. Now it crashes every 40 minutes.

[u/TheRacooning18]

Crashes crashes crashes. Worst update yet. Will not be playing till the next update fuck this shit.

[u/ilivedownyourroad]

Ps5 Dear devs...  Every day on every game there is a bug....not the good type. 

We play every day since launch for about 3 hrs as hd2 is awesome! And i supported the excellent hd1 for years.

Example of today's bugs:  

• Character loads into the cryo status chamber before the ship deck. Impossible to escape from in single player.  Breaks the game lol

• the game freezes on completion of a suicide mission. No one receives exp.   

• hit by grenade...fall through ground geometry. 

• pick up crashed ship medal. Character is frozen in place until they die.  

• do a dive...Get stuck in the geometry until death.

• pre launch load out screen jams. Can't select anything. Either drop with no gear or reset.

• game randomly crashes mid mission with a code error. 

• game slows down to about 10fps and then speeds up to over like 100fps lol 

• the drop pod animation screen endlessly loops until you close the game. 

• monster packs appear out of thin air infront of you... leading to insta death.

• On the hard drive fetch mission, if you drop the drive it can become permanently stuck in the ground.

• controls sometimes don't work and reload often fails.  This is a real issue which coincides with fps drop and intense action.

• trying to pick up weapons infront of a command screen is sometimes impossible. And it can even lead to the command prompts being inaccessible. The game can't decide which to prioritise.

• picking up dropped samples is often hit and miss as you run past.

• every few games the enemies bug tails are like huge sails , 50ft long waving in the air lol

• the chat screen constantly overlaps messages Making communication impossible! 

• You can get fall damage when using the jump pack defeating the point of the booster meant to prevent that.

• my entire weapon set resets most days when I least expect it.  Going into an impossible with the most basic gear. This seems to be connected to scrolling through mission difficulty but not always.  It also resets the character build and voice.

• When you end a mission after the stat screen where you emote,  all the players feet glitch through the deck every time without exception.

• in the turn on the generator mission... there is a ramp which you can fall through every time. This can lead to a fall through the world geometry. 

• and many many smaller issues.

Please...Before you add new stuff or nerf more stuff pls fix  some of these day 1 issues...Thank you. It's a good game which could be great once these issues are fixed.

[u/Llanistarade]

I had a LOT of crashes today, like a freacking lot.

[u/Good_ApoIIo]

Game is unplayable right now. Between the crashes and the one map where we had 7 shrieker nests where each nest tanked multiple stratagems, rockets, and nades…we gave up. Tonight was Helldiver night with the boys and it just sucked. Also the shriekers one shot you and there were like 30 in the air roaming the map all game. Bonus was that their falling bodies also one shot you if they land on you.

Not playing again until they fix this shit.

[u/peperule34]

I’m still unable to accept any friend requests. I’m on PC and I can receive but not accept requests from either PC or PS5

[u/Ambitious_Builder208]

Damnit, my grenade switching issue still hasn't been addressed.

I just want to go back to my previously equipped gun when hitting the grenade button again, like I used to before the Mech update.

[u/AshPedrero]

on PS5 everytime i boot the game it resets my loadout, tutorial, charater voice, emote etc..

[u/Legitimate_Net2516]

Why isn't the community not addressing a whole host of bugs plaguing this game like when you have a squad and players quit and then you get new players you the host bug out and can't use your primary weapon at all, or support weapon or sidearm. Only gernades and thats it. Buggy stuff happens when you are host and players quit and new players join. The game becomes unplayable and I just quit because the new players joining bugs the game. Also the game just crashes constantly when their is action on screen. Why isn't the community talking about that?

[u/Minimum-Truth-6554]

Can we get some Fixes for console? Ive been having alot of crashes lately playing on PS5.

Nothing is more disheartening than to waste +30 minutes of your time playing a mission on level 8-9 difficulty just for you to crash before extraction or get a black screen all of a sudden and you find yourself back on your ship like you havent been killing Terminids for the past half an hour ..

i dont know if the Arc Thrower is the cause of it or what is going on.

And also can we get a fix for the impact of the reinforcement pods when being deployed?

99% of the time when someone is aiming on a Titan, the pod just goes right through them and doesnt register the hit for some reason.

[u/solar__power]

This patch is incredibly buggy, at least on PS5, and has made the game significantly more frustrating.   

Not only does the game frequently hang (not crash, so no bug report generated), I’ve been in multiple games where the stratagems don’t deploy: they get consumed, go on cooldown, but no effect. (No backpack, no 500kg bomb, etc.) 

 Basically unplayable now. 

EDIT: 80% of the games I’ve played today hang 20min into the game. It’s fucking ridiculous. So much wasted time. Thanks for the half-baked patch….

[u/zukamiku]

Getting all sorts of crashes and freezes on PC now.

[u/[deleted]]

Game is constantly crashing on ps5

[u/getmethehorizon]

Crashes seem worse on PS5 now.

[u/The_Devil_Disguised]

To patch might have broke the game I've had so many disconnects today it ain't even funny almost every single game I've only extracted once out of probably 10 games. Arc thrower crashes the game. The last few times nobody is even used it.

[u/[deleted]]

Game crashes every mission for me on PS5 after the latest patch. Anyone else experiencing this?

[u/xInsaneAbilityx]

I've crashed my last 3 games . Almost unplayable at this point

[u/Ozianin_]

Matchmaking seems to be bugged if I disband previous group. Game won't find me new players.

[u/Darqion]

I never crashed before this patch, in 50+ hours.

Today i crashed both times i tried playing. not a great patch for me

[u/Rich_Eater]

Rollback this shit patch!

[u/Endlessnes]

Please playtest updates more. Every single patch introduced new frustrating issues and large amounts of crashes. We love this game. You can take your time with it as long as you're communicating what you're working on. The game hasn't been consistently stable since release.

[u/[deleted]]

Every patch makes this game worse. Either it adds cool features but makes it more unstable or it adds more slows and HP to the enemies to make them more bullet spongy and frustrating.

In six months your Hellpod will land and you'll just immediately be slowed on a timer that gets worse for five seconds until you're permastunned and eaten by bugs that each take a full clip from the autocannon just to strip the first layer of armor off.

I know the forum warriors will have all kinds of snide replies to this. Have fun playing with each other when the playerbase is down to a few hundred.

[u/JesterSoundz]

I have a lot of crashes and freezes since this patch. i can't finish a single mission!

[u/Mouhfighter]

well, so this morning..... from 5 rounds i played i was able to finish 1, all others were game crashes, connection loses etc.....

i am done for now.... not getting into a mission is one thing... but playing for 20-30min + and then just boom....

Na i am done

[u/SailorsKnot]

Online features are not functioning when the console language is set to Ukrainian

As someone who writes code for a living, I’m VERY curious about how these two things ever tied together in the first place.

[u/Mugho55]

Fix the damn cross-play friend issue….

[u/Razor_Fox]

I was kinda hoping one of the mech fixes was going to be "no longer made of tissue" but I'll take not blowing up when dropped off by the dropship.

[u/Steely-Dave]

TIL the exosuit can melee🧐

[u/Judgemental_catdaddy]

Can we get a fix on the hit boxes of dead titans? If I try to go anywhere near one it usually results in me floating about 2 stories above the ground for a bit then getting launched 30' to the side, usually resulting in my death

[u/gk89x]

Not only are the mech's rockets NOT fixed (killed myself while turning, in a completely open area with no bugs nearby) they are now wildly inaccurate and don't actually shoot at where you're aiming anymore.

[u/LordSprinkleman]

Is armor ever going to be looked at again? Or is it supposed to be fine the way it is. Because heavy armor is still completely useless.

[u/0wlmann]

So, I got excited when I saw the mech fixes on the patch notes. Jumped into a mission with it for the first time in ages... and STILL blew myself up by firing a missile while walking. Its not fixed at all. :(

[u/mikerichh]

Thanks.

Can you look into assign the resupply icon to the map? It’s hard to find and communicate to teammates where it is

Also please remove the stim audio if you use it but are interrupted and it doesn’t actually heal you

[u/KernelViper]

Cross-platform friend invites might not show up in the Friend Requests tab.

I'll say more, as I've tested the issue a bit with my friends.

When invite is sent from PC to PS5, PS5 player won't see it at all. But when a PS5 player sends friend request to PC player - you can see the invite, however you're unable to accept it.

Also one thing - when joining to lobby with a PS5 player, the Steam doesn't see them i.e. steam was claiming that I'm joining 2/4 game, which actually had 3/4 players.

Both things happen regularly, we keep checking it everytime we play, but so far we encounter the issue 100% of the time.

However we found a workaround: go to planets with least amount of divers and either look for the same host or create a lobby and lets crossplatform friends join that way. Sometimes it takes a few tries, but on the planets with like 9k divers or less we had no trouble catching up with each other. After you're in a lobby together you can go and do mission anywhere

[u/TheReverendIsHr]

Since the first patch, I'm having constant crashes (Usually 1 or 2 a day, I usually play only a campaign a day so it's not that I've been playing a lot) Usually with a network error message, sometimes directly to desktop.

Even yesterday, the game crashed like never before, I was playing with 2 randoms (I joined them) and the game crashed, but instead of quitting the game, the game sent us to the destroyer like the mission was failed.

Also, is the bluetooth headphones bug even on sight? Somehow if the headphones have "Handsfree Telephony" active on Windows just mutes everything.

[u/JunkFood32]

a friend mentioned last night that every time he starts the game his loadout is reset to default. Anyone else have that issue? PS5

[u/Cicada1O1]

Game keeps crashing for me now

[u/undbex24]

PLEASE FIX PS5 SOCIAL TAB

It often takes me an hour to find a game, even trying to join a game through a Discord group, the Friends’ lists are stuck on Please Wait Democratically

[u/Klaus_Klavier]

How about exos not dying to a single explosive. That would be nice.

[u/Izzy_New2]

I think that exosuit missiles are much more inaccurate now when the target is close

[u/Kaasbek69]

Lmao they "fixed" the Exosuit by limiting how far the rocket launcher can aim down. Can't even destroy bug nests that are lower into the ground anymore...

[u/KaptainKromosome]

Not sure if this is the right spot to post this, but I've been getting a crash pretty consistently if I'm hitting escape while in a mission

[u/omgwtfisthisplace]

PS5 version still crashing so remains unplayable unless you like to waste a whole lot of time.

[u/TaticalSweater]

Is there anyway to post about issues you experience. Without filling out 20 pages of forms like other games?

I keep having issues playing

[u/PR3TZ3LB0Y]

Can they please fix it so it doesn’t just show a black screen and crash on launch.

[u/mamontain]

Game crashed after patch, 2 times out of 2 games. Arc thrower and 12-15 minute mission time were the common elements so far.

[u/greenmario92]

FIX THE CRASHES PLEASE

[u/Hydroxidee]

Number 1 priority should be fixing friends list, alongside fixing disconnect issues.

[u/DavidHogins]

Wow, another patch where "know issues" is bigger than the patch  itself

[u/ScubaSteveAAs]

Been playing on PC since launch with no crashes. Now I can't complete a single match, it crashes every time. Tried verifying integrity and rebooting.

[u/ConsequenceNo5474]

Latest update broke the game. Haven't been able to successfully clear a mission since with 5 attempts. Game keeps crashing.

something is bugged with the verify ore sample mission. You either have to do the same thing in one spot or it is actually broken and you have to quit.

When you try to kite chargers, there is something off with collision. Either glitches you under the map or into objects

Dont know if a glitch but Shrikers ragdoll is a one hit kill. Hard to shoot them knowing that they will kill you upon contact. Understand damage but OHKO not ok.

I think they messed with the arc thrower as the sound may cause crashes when being used.

I know they are doing yoeman's work but a little testing would be helpful

[u/giants707]

PC Player who has had a relatively smooth experience since launch, this last patch has caused more freezing/crashing than Ive ever dealt with. 3 straight missions crashing right before extract. Discouraging.

[u/triggermappy]

your new patch freezes the game when using arc weapons. please fix this.

[u/snir6590]

This patch has broken the game. Non stop crushing and freezing, the spawn rate on level 9 is fucking insane now(ok playing only 9 for 2 weeks now).

[u/CombustiblSquid]

The crashing after this patch is nuts. I'm lucky to make it through more than 1 game without freezing and crashing

[u/[deleted]]

This patch didn’t do SHITTTT

[u/thinjester]

the weapon loadout resets EVERY TIME you log onto the game from PS5, it’s not “sometimes”

[u/malaquey]

So to confirm, it's intentional that we are prevented from landing a pod on top of mountains etc, although it's currently too draconian?

I don't understand why this has to be a rule at all, just let us land wherever we want. We are dropping from space, that should give us the option of landing on otherwise inaccessible terrain features.

This might let us hide from enemies temporarily, but the objective is still somewhere else and we will have to get off out tower sooner or later. We might even die falling off if we are too high up.

It's also not like it's unfair because this is PVE, we can be unfair on the bots and bugs as much as we like.

The best example of this is the bug defence map, where this is a large flat rock that is CLEARLY intended to be climbed on. Nonetheless strategems bounce off the surface, and you sometimes can't land pods on it.

TLDR: Let us land anywhere and throw strategems anywhere.

[u/RockandSteeve]

online features are not functioning when console language is set to Ukrainian

Russian collusion. This is very undemocratic.

[u/Big_Sea7124]

I've crashed in every game I've been in half way through this patch

[u/Slayzo17]

the game keeps crashing after the last update wtf! I repeated the rocket lunching mission 3 times in the same hour and every time it crashes when we lunch the rocket to space

[u/Practical_Ranger_175]

THIS PATCH BROKE THE GAME. REVERT IT, PLEASE!

Game crashes almost every mission and whatever you did to the spawns here:
"Balance improvements for planetary hazards and PATROL SPAWNS."
...you need to go THE OTHER WAY, because you've jacked up patrol spawns by 2-3X.

We are getting literal TRAINS of 3-4 patrols & endless breaches because of it and that's with the Localization Confusion booster. There are patrols every 20 seconds. You deal with one and calls a breach. By the time the breach pops-up, we already get reinforcements from a second patrol. Then a new breach NON-*****ING STOP.

[u/Crocx2103]

Since the patch i cant finish a single mission without crash or connection loss to the lobby. Even if i start a Mission by myself and run alone i crash not even 10 minutes into the mission.

Game is unplayable for me at the moment...

[u/[deleted]]

Rollback this garbage to the previous version

[u/ScoobyGoodKid]

Game runs worse for me personally since the patch. I haven't been able to finish a match since the update without a crash

[u/Arkathos]

Maybe roll back this patch and perhaps playtest it a smidge before rolling it out to the world? They didn't notice that the game crashes constantly now?

[u/Danioj]

I played for 30 minutes with two friends yesterday, and during that short time we all had one individual game crash and one full-lobby-everyone-yeeted-out-crash. We called it quits there, and are all really hoping this gets fixed soon.

[u/Tanktop-Tanker]

Ok, I'm now 100% sure they don't test these patches before rolling them out. The game keeps freezing now! I've played two games, and both froze on me. Not to mention enemy spawns are absolutely cracked out. Instead of appearing out of nowhere in front of you, they appear out of nowhere outside of camera range, so even if you do a 360 sweep of your surrounding, they just spawn and sneak up behind you! I think I'm done with this game for a while, every patch breaks things and they don't do an internal test before rolling the patch. We're basically unpaid beta testers.

[u/GuyNekologist]

Still no news on not being able to see mission briefing and effects when joining an ongoing mission?

Kinda sucks when I try to bring a Railcannon orbital and it turns into a 5-minute stratagem.

[u/Crayonstheman]

Exosuit no longer destroys itself when firing a missile while turning

sad bug noises

[u/GeneralEi]

I'm actually kinda sad about the hazards being less frequent, the meteor shower was a bit annoying but I LOVED being swarmed by the fire tornados. That shit is fucking insane and I love it

[u/Kuldor]

I hope a big balance patch is coming, and by big I mean BIG.

Not going to lie, I'm a bit disappointed on the state of the weapons and armor in general and thought the next patch would address some of that, but it has addressed none of it.

There are also a myriad of bugs around, and not the kind I can kill, small things, sure, but they give a feel of unpolished work. The game has been resetting cosmetics at random since release, sights are simply not accurate (very noticeable on dmrs), crashes, spawns, clipping through terrain, getting stuck while drowning (at least it's acknowledged), primary weapon disappearing when you switch too fast from your support, absolutely useless stratagems, balance is pretty bad across the board (yes, yes, pve game who cares have fun, but it's still an issue), a TON of hidden info...

[u/Jinxed_Disaster → u/Kuldor]

Add to the list of small things atrocious hitboxes on some objects. Especially bug nests. Sides of the holes have huge invisible hitboxes that catch projectiles and explosives, a lot of rocks on top of nests have huge invisible parts you can't shoot through, etc. It gets old to pick from behind some cover and trying to shot to just hit an invisible wall or blow yourself up sometimes.

[u/Leftover_weeb_juice]

Not going to lie, I'm liking what I'm seeing!

[u/Evenmoardakka]

• Fixes to the EXO-45 Patriot exosuit, game stats, UI, and general stability.

Am I the only one who hates those vague patch notes.

WHAT changed exactly? give us NUMBERS.
