New patch numbered 1,000.10 of Helldivers 2 preparing to be released on Steam and PS5. Developer Arrowhead hopes to resolve some of the issues fans have been experiencing over the past week.
Most prominent among them are Matchmaking and server issues, as well as PC black screen errors. Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt stated on X/Twitter: “The patch is coming soon. Highlights include addressing Matchmaking and preparing for increased server capacity. Let’s go!“
In addition to the issues listed above, the new Helldivers 2 patch also addresses the ragdoll bug, adjusts the difficulty of mining missions that were plaguing players, and implements an automatic retry mechanism for quickplay. .
Helldivers 2 has been an extraordinary success since its release, even reigniting fan interest in Starship Troopers, the 1997 film it inspired. IGN even flattered that Helldivers 2 is “the rare modern multiplayer game that does almost everything right.” Last weekend, it surpassed 450,000 concurrent players on Steam despite server limits, surpassing many famous names like Palworld, Apex Legends or GTA V.
Although warmly received by fans, Helldivers 2 still encounters many problems such as insufficient server capacity to meet demand or other minor errors. The game doesn’t run very smoothly, so much so that many people recommend not buying it until the developer fixes the issues. From positive reviews, it has now dropped to Mixed on Steam because many players are frustrated when they cannot log into the game.
