The boss of Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has addressed player concern about bugs (not those bugs) as the studio continues to release new content and new premium warbonds.
Did it get worse over the last week, or is this something that comes up in high level (7+) difficulties?
I have just barely gotten into the high level content and it has been smooth so far, but I know there is a lot less complexity going on in the lower level content.
I'm with you... after the first week or two, I've encountered literally 0 major bugs. A little thing here or there, but nothing that prevents me from completing a mission or picking up loot
I'm around level 5 still mostly, I only joined fairly recently. I've only had 1 full ctd so far but I've been stuck in geometry countless times, one time the extraction console wouldn't activate, one time a geometry glitch prevented us from boarding the escape ship. Sometimes my weapons won't switch and when I go to iron sights it'll just show my empty hands.
It's a testament to how great the game is that I still can't wait to play more though haha
Weird. I have like three crashes total in 66 hours since I bought the game in late march. Did you clear the shader cache, update drivers and all that jazz?
I must be lucky. This most recent update has pretty much resolved me getting dropped from games. But I have some other gameplay bugs that are annoying but not game breaking.
The volume of hackers is getting crazy. Joining games where its bleeding obvious the character that says its level 90 is actually barely double digits, hell ive even seen one leave and then rejoin as a level 13….
Also if they want to try and reduce toxicity they need to introduce a cheer button. DRG got that down pat, bar wouldnt hurt either
I find if I play on the higher difficulties I tend to end up in very fun groups.
If I play on more relaxed difficulties, I usually have random people running across the map aggroing everything and then throwing their orbital barrage on top of me on the console doing the objective before setting themselves on fire somehow without even using any fire stratagems.
I only play on helldiver, it's the most fun imo. When i played on impossible, i mostly played with people who thought they were better than they are.
I love this game, but damn the crashes are annoying. I think if the game never crashed i had like 10 levels more.
I had a terrible experience playing with random matchmaking but asking in discord if anyone wants to play or hop on a voice channel made the experience much better and cut out the trolls.
Have played a couple hundred hours as squad of 4. 1 guy had lots of crashing the first few weeks, replaced his ram and no crashing. The rest of us have had a few issues here and there. Biggest complaint is waiting for medals, but that seems to be resolved.
