Arrowhead Game Studios has released a small but significant patch for Helldivers 2 to improve game stability and connection issues.
Patch 01.000.006 has been deployed today (February 14th) on PC and PlayStation 5 and is a direct response to ongoing player reports regarding server connectivity issues and matchmaking errors.
The multiplayer shooter, which was released last week on February 8th, recently received a patch for both PC and console with a similar goal to fix performance, server, and login issues.
However, Arrowhead was forced to roll back the PC version as players were “experiencing significant performance degradation”.
It seems that the latest patch has addressed this issue by solving disconnection and stability problems, and the studio has explained that it has improved backend activity to reduce the likelihood of disconnection during missions. They have also implemented a “build for upcoming server matchmaking improvements,” which will likely be added in a later patch.
In addition, some online players have been experiencing an error that would crash the game if they had too many friends, but this has fortunately been resolved with the latest patch, along with other crashes related to disconnection during the matchmaking scene.
