Arrowhead Game Studios released a significant update for ‘Helldivers 2’ on PC, targeting the crashes and enhancing the game’s matchmaking capabilities. The game, which also launched on PS5, has had players experiencing stability issues, particularly with online matchmaking. The developers have rolled out the update already for PC users, with a promise that PS5 gamers will receive the patch at a subsequent time.
Initial Remedies for Persistent Matchmaking Flaws
The studio issued a statement with the patch, acknowledging that this update marks the beginning of a series of improvements. Addressing matchmaking problems is a priority, but finding a complete resolution is expected to take additional time. The team has raised the matchmaking success rate, but the full solution requires more work and days of development before reaching optimum functionality.
Alternative Methods for Joining Games
For a better chance of a successful connection, the studio recommends players join active games by searching on planets rather than using the Quickplay feature. This approach seems to yield a higher success rate, as per the latest observations following the update.
Earlier in the week, Arrowhead Game Studios communicated its efforts to fix the stability and matchmaking issues plaguing players. Alongside, the developers also justified their choice of GameGuard for the game’s anti-cheat system. These efforts reflect the studio’s commitment to improving the user experience and maintaining fair play.
As ‘Helldivers 2’ makes its debut on PC and PS5, the recent patch brings much-needed fixes. The most notable improvements include resolving crashes related to menu access, matchmaking completion, and interactions with the Armory. It also addresses a specific crash when equipping the MP-98 Knight weapon. However, the studio has acknowledged that some players might still encounter occasional instability during matchmaking, indicating ongoing efforts to refine the game.
The recent update to ‘Helldivers 2’ on PC is a step towards a more stable and enjoyable gaming experience. It addresses critical issues while also paving the way for further enhancements in the matchmaking process, with the studio actively working on delivering a seamless gaming experience to its players.
