Helldivers 2’s Latest Patch is Live, Fixes Crashing Issues

Arrowhead Games’ Helldivers 2 continues to be one of the biggest hits of the year, and it’s showing no signs of stopping down. A new patch has just been released on PC (more details through here), which helps with game stability and brings other miscellaneous fixes.

The patch in question (v 1.000.304) fixes the issue where the game would crash after the host left the party among other rarer instances of crashes. In addition to this, miscellaneous fixes such as the right colour scheme for the AR-61 Tenderizer weapon and an issue where players would get stuck on the mission summary screen have now been fixed through this patch. Known issues have also been highlighted, and they should hopefully get fixed in upcoming patches.

Arrowhead Studios recently reported that Helldivers 2 has sold over 12 million units, and the recent fiasco of having to link your PSN account for Steam players has also been fixed – read more on that through here.
