took the gaming industry by storm back in February 2024, quickly gaining a dedicated fanbase and community around the live-service title. Although it still boasts an impressive player base, a couple of months later, the numbers have begun to dwindle from the initial highs that it once enjoyed. This is to be expected with any title since the gaming industry moves on quickly, and games cannot be expected to hold onto unsustainable numbers, but there is something can do to stem the bleeding.
Helldivers 2 patch remedies the mission-crashing bugs that nearly derailed the Automaton war effort's finale, just in time for the next Major Order
09.04.2024 - 11:05 / gamesradar.com / Hirun Cryer / Major Order
A new Helldivers 2 patch fixes plenty of in-game crashes, after developer Arrowhead had to recommend players let the game "rest" this past weekend due to persistent crashes.
Last weekend, as Super Earth's soldiers were fighting tooth and nail to eliminate the Automaton threat once and for all, many were plagued with in-game crashes. This led to Arrowhead actually warning Helldivers 2 players away from the game itself, in an effort to recover from the crashes with so many people playing at once.
At the time, an Arrowhead developer explained the crashes. "I just briefly want to say that we're aware of the crashes primarily surrounding extraction/end of mission that currently a lot of you are facing. There's a hotfix arriving very soon that we hope will mitigate this. We should have written a post about this here sooner, but for several reasons we were under-communicative this time," the developer wrote in the Helldivers 2 Discord channel.
Now, on April 9, that hotfix is finally here. The Helldivers 2 update which you can see just below, patch 01.000.202, has nine specific entries in its patch notes for crash fixes. There's fixes for crashes that occur after deploying for a mission, as well as prior to and after extraction, and there's even a fix for a crash that would happen if a squad deployed a "large amount" of support weapons at once.

No One's Talking About This Missing Helldivers 2 Faction From The First Game
borrows a lot of things from the first game, but skips out on multiple enemy factions — not just the Illuminate. At launch and up until the time of writing, Helldivers 2 has had two enemy factions: the Terminids (Bugs) and the Automatons (Bots). However, with the recent total success of the Major Order "", it appears the Automatons have finally been eradicated once and for all. Of course, there's always a chance they'll return, but for the time being, players are left to wonder what comes next.
